The following speech was given by Mr. Frank Salt today 4th June 2008 at the EMCS Property Forum, Hilton, St. Julian's.
I will start by giving you a brief summary of the history of the Maltese property market.
We shall start in the 1960s. Malta at that time was very dependent on the income generated by the British forces, who were at that time living and working in Malta. When the Maltese Government were told that the British bases were soon to leave, a different way of earning money had to be found.
One of the ideas that came forward was the introduction of a permanent residency scheme, that took advantage of the many British that were leaving the old colonies in Africa. This scheme was very successful, as the climate in Malta was very acceptable and the taxation being offered of sixpence in the pound was very attractive.Those were the days of taking foreign clients out in coaches, and each salesperson selling over 25 properties a month.

McCoy reminds 20-29 age group take COVID-19 pandemic seriously
Albany County officials provide an update on the COVID-19 pandemic as the Capital Region moves toward Phase 4 of the reopen.
By Michael Gwizdala and Mike Gwizdala | mgwizdala@medianewsgroup.com |
PUBLISHED: June 30, 2020 at 12:30 p.m. | UPDATED: July 22, 2021 at 10:01 a.m.
ALBANY, N.Y. – Albany County finds itself in good shape relative to the COVID-19 pandemic as the Capital Region readies to enter Phase 4 on July 1.
On Tuesday, Albany County Executive Dan McCoy and Albany County Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Elizabeth Whalen provided a break down of what the latest case numbers signify.
While the overall numbers have settled down, McCoy expressed his concern with the younger population getting careless and feeling a sense of invincibility.
"The age group 20-29, we're at 336 cases and 314 [cases for the] 50-59 [age group] which is the closest," McCoy remarked. "One of the things I kept talking about this number was because these are the kids that have no sign or symptoms that go out into the community, they feel that they're like superman or superwoman and they don't wear a mask and they continue to go around people and then they go around people with underlying health issues or they go around seniors and they infect and they spread it."
"I think the Governor [Andrew Cuomo] pointed it out too, what's interesting about this number and [Dr. Whalen] and I both identified this early on is we were watching it and now the state is looking at this, in Florida it's 18-29 that has been getting the most infected and actually they're the ones being hospitalized," McCoy added regarding that age group leading to spikes in hot spots throughout the country.
Whalen detailed the numbers from the state tracker as well.
"Our numbers do continue to be low, which is reassuring. What's reassuring the number of people positive tested continues to go low," Whalen said.
Whalen attributed that decrease in behaviors exhibited by New Yorkers.
"I really think that there's a very important reason why our numbers are low and that is the compliance with behavior. We're seeing concerning spikes across the country in states that have already opened that are now starting to have to close down again. What's the difference in our behavior in New York? I really think that when you look at it the difference comes down to wearing masks," Whalen noted.
"Wearing masks is not controversial from a scientific point of view. From a scientific point of view this is the best way you can protect yourself in addition to frequent hand washing and social distancing from getting COVID. No matter what age your are it is essential to practice these measures because we have a vulnerable population that needs protection against COVID-19," Whalen added on the importance of wearing masks.
As of Tuesday morning there have been 1,895 confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Albany County, an increase of two since Monday. Additionally, there are 185 people under mandatory quarantine. Presently there are 26 active cases of COVID-19. Thus far, 5,732 people have completed quarantine, with 1,869 of them having tested positive and recovered.
Currently, four people are hospitalized with one person in ICU. The county hospitalization rate is also unchanged at 0.21%.
McCoy was also joined by Discover Albany Film Commissioner Deb Goedeke to discuss how the Capital Region entering Phase 4 ahead of New York City will provide a boost for TV and movie production and the local economy.
"TV and movie production reopening comes in Phase 4. We've already had two location scouts here in Albany last week about a possible Netflix movie and HBO has been calling as well. Considering pre-production of the Punisher brought in roughly half a million dollars last summer alone, this would be a huge win for our local economy," McCoy noted.
Given how both the Times Union Center and the Albany Capital Center have been deemed New York State, film and TV companies are able to access the State Film Tax Credits when they film in the City of Albany using these facilities.
Discover Albany and Film Albany is working with Empire State Development to ensure the proper guidelines are in place to safely host film and production crews as part of Phase 4. It's estimated that a TV series generates about $125,000 each day of production, and a feature film generates $250,000 per day, supporting local hotels, restaurants, truck rentals and other local businesses.

Various medications may help treat back and neck pain, including acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle relaxants, opioid analgesics, oral steroids, and anti-depressant medications. What will work for your pain? Talk to your doctor to determine your best over-the-counter and/or prescription drug option(s).
Acetaminophen is safe when used as directed, and its analgesic effects make it acceptable for acute low back pain. It is inexpensive, readily available, and bears few complications and risks. It is effective for mild to moderate pain, but it doesn't treat inflammation and muscle spasm. Another drawback is that its efficacy for moderate to severe low back pain is questionable.
Often, patients try to obtain relief with acetaminophen prior to seeing a doctor. Though acetaminophen is readily available, it's not without risks. The prolonged use of high-dose acetaminophen may cause serious health problems, including significant liver toxicity.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a first-line medication for low back pain. As the name implies, these medications offer anti-inflammatory properties. These anti-inflammatory benefits are most prominent during the first week after injury. The dosage to produce anti-inflammatory effects is significantly different than for their analgesic effects. Most NSAID usage achieves only analgesic effects, as the dose prescribed is often too small and too infrequent to produce an anti-inflammatory effect. By carefully prescribing therapeutic doses at regular intervals, patients may experience both analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of these agents.
There are risks associated with NSAID use, especially in the elderly, in those with a history of peptic ulcer disease, hypertension, or renal insufficiency. Some NSAIDs, known as COX-2 inhibitors (celecoxib) pose a lower gastrointestinal risk. Even so, you should avoid prolonged use of these medications (greater than 4 weeks).
Muscle relaxants may help reduce low back pain, and they appear to have additional benefits when used with NSAIDs.
The term "muscle relaxant" is somewhat controversial, and these agents do not work at the muscular level. Common side effects include drowsiness and fatigue. The use of benzodiazepines (tranquilizers) does not appear to be helpful for patients with acute low back pain. There is some concern with long-term use of carisoprodol (Soma) as its active metabolite, meprobamate, has been associated with withdrawal symptoms.
Muscle relaxants can be used as short-term adjunctive medication—that is, used alongside another treatment. It is recommended that you use a muscle relaxant prior to bedtime to take advantage of the sedating effects and reduce daytime sedation.
The use of opioids in the treatment of low back pain should be limited to pain that is unresponsive to other medication, such as NSAIDs. Opiates may be prescribed to manage severe pain associated with disc herniation or other back injury. When prescribed, opioids should be used on a defined dosing schedule and not on an as-needed basis. Prolonged or repeated use of opioids is not recommended to treat low back pain, as serious side effects—including abuse and addiction—may develop.
Oral steroids have a strong anti-inflammatory effect, so they may ease radiculopathy caused by disc herniation. However, scientific evidence doesn't show a strong link to oral steroids' effectiveness in the acute low back pain population. The use of oral corticosteroids for people with low back pain requires further clinical research and a more complete understanding of potential side effects and risks.
Anti-depressant medications are generally not necessary to treat acute low back pain. Tricyclic antidepressants (in particular, amitriptyline) have been well studied and supported as useful analgesics for people with nerve pain, but their use in treating acute low back pain is less clear. While more research on anti-depressants and low back pain is needed, these medications can be helpful for pain and sleep if used at bedtime. Doses should begin low and slowly increased to minimize side effects.

Plugin Air Stream for direct rendering from within maya.
AIR (Advanced Image Rendering) is a renderman compliant renderer and is available as a standalone solution.
Air offers a lot of advanced techniques like level of detail blending, a pendant to deep shadow maps called fracture maps, transparent shadow maps.
It comes with a tool to create its shaders in a visual interface called vshade.
The support of Scott Iverson is really good. As soon as I reported a problem he answered very fast and sometiems a few hours later I got a new fix.
Houdini can use it as a renderer, the air distribution come with an guide how to use it with houdini.
for Maya there exists a experimental interface Air Stream for maya. Get it from the google AIR user group.
Great news, AIR now has a size limited but otherwise fully functional free version. It has a new standalone material editor, a material library, better texture handling, improved GI calculation and some new shader types.
AirStream for maya 1.0 has been announced. Seems to be an interesting translator, I\ll have a look at it soon.
Air 11 introduces shading networks and layering of shaders. This makes the handling of complex shading networks very much easier.
Mesh baking has been improved so that you can easily use it for occlusion or subsurface shaders.
Easy to use PTex. You can use it for rendering as well as generating output to ptex format.
The environment shader has been improved and is much more flexible now. And it has a phyically sky shader now.
Stereo camera rendering is supported. In comparision to other implementations like prman, every bucket is rendered twice and will do shading correctly for every camera where prman only creates the shading for the middle eye.
Release 9 of the AIR production renderer gives users additional lighting controls for performance and flexibility.A new set of light shaders allows shadows and illumination to be baked to 3D texture maps and re-used for accelerated re-rendering.The same shaders can also utilize shadows or illumination baked to 2D maps with SiTex Graphics\ BakeAIR texture baker.For optimized rendering of interiors, AIR 9 has a new portal light shader for efficiently simulating incoming light from windows and doors.
AIR 9 extends the ability to record a separate output image for each light by allowing each light\s image to include the light\s contribution to reflections and global illumination.This additional information produces a more accurate result when light channels are tweaked and combined in compositing.AIR\s fragment shadow maps (used for deep mapped shadows) are now more accurate in scenes with high depth complexity.Image-based lighting with global illumination has been greatly accelerated in many common cases, and new environment map controls allow users to tune performance and quality.
Release 9 includes many other additions to the core AIR renderer including a new micropolygon shading mode and an option for view-independent tessellation of curved primitives.
TweakAIR, the interactive version of AIR, includes a new command to move the camera during an interactive session.View manipulation during interactive preview rendering is supported in the RhinoAIR plug-in for the Rhino modeler and in the AIR Space visualization application included with AIR.
For the first time the AIR distribution includes documentation and interface files for the TweakAIR API, which has been extended to allow TweakAIR to run in batch mode for scripted incremental rendering.The new batch mode can be used to efficiently render image sequences that capture incremental changes to a scene, such as swapping environment maps, changing shaders, tweaking lights, or moving the camera.
With release 9 SiTex Graphics also introduces a new common product licensing policy.Anyone with an active AIR license now has access to TweakAIR and BakeAIR, which no longer require purchase of separate licenses.
AIR Stream is a new Maya rendering plug-in designed to provide an easy-to-use Maya to AIR workflow.AIR Stream was created by Hai Nguyen to meet the demands of visual effects production, and earlier versions of the plug-in have already been used successfully on several projects. The first public beta of AIR Stream is available as a free download on the AIR user group.
Sitexgraphics introduces geometry shader. It works exactly like a procedural dso. So what's the advantage? Well, in procedural dsos, your geometry procedures are unable to access textures or other shading procedures because shading is done after the geometry is subdivided into micropolygons, what means that shading cannot be accessed until the complete geometry is created. With the new geometry shaders, an procedural can access shading options or textures at creation time. e.g. you can easily create a geometry shader, which is able to use textures as density maps e.g. for hair.


Q. What do I need to bring to the dealership?

Love Isn't In The Accounting Business.
Hafiz, the Persian poet wrote, "Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky." Let us all be like the sun, never keeping score, for love isn't in the accounting business. It's in the giving business. Let your heart be a sieve, rather than a measuring cup.

The Board knows of no business other than that mentioned in Proposal 1 of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders that will be presented for consideration. If any other matters are properly presented, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote on such matters in accordance with their judgment. PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES Each Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides that a majority of the Trustees shall fix the number of the entire Board and that such number shall be at least two and no greater than fifteen. Each Board has fixed the number of Trustees at ten. Under the terms of each Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, the Board of Trustees is divided into three classes, each class having a term of three years to expire on the date of the third Annual Meeting following its election. Thus, this could delay for up to two years the replacement of a majority of the Board. Proxies will be voted for the election of the following nominees: For Short Duration Fund, four Class III Trustees, Mark R. Fetting, Valerie A. Mosley, Marcus L. Smith and Nancy A. Wiser, to be elected by shareholders of the Fund; and For Tax-Advantaged Fund, four Class I Trustees, Cynthia E. Frost, Valerie A. Mosley, Scott E. Wennerholm and Nancy A. Wiser, to be elected by shareholders of the Fund. The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the Trustee nominees of each Fund. Each nominee is currently serving as a Trustee of his or her respective Fund and has consented to continue to so serve. In the event that a nominee is unable to serve for any reason (which is not now expected) when the election occurs, the accompanying proxy will be voted for such other person or persons as the Board of Trustees may recommend. Election of Trustees is non-cumulative. Shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the proposal in this proxy statement. Each nominee shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. No nominee is a party adverse to his or her respective Fund or any of its affiliates in any material pending legal proceeding, nor does any nominee have an interest materially adverse to such Fund. The following table presents certain information regarding the current Trustees of each Fund, including the principal occupations of each such person for at least the last five years.

Sao Paulo, Santiago de Chile and Guayaquil by direct flights from Cartagena de Indias
(Credit: Avianca)
Avianca begins the expansion of its international flights to and from Cartagena de Indias, focusing on South America.
Starting this week, the airline Avianca will begin operating two new international routes connecting Cartagena de Indias with important destinations in South America: Sao Paulo (Brazil) and Santiago de Chile.
The first flight to Sao Paulo will take off this Tuesday, January 10, at 7:55 p.m., thus beginning the Cartagena – Sao Paulo route, which will initially have three weekly frequencies, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The return Sao Paulo – Cartagena route will also have three frequencies on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
The Cartagena – Santiago de Chile – Cartagena route will open tomorrow, 11 January, and will have eight weekly frequencies.
Guayaquil scheduled for March
Last December, the airline announced the opening of a route to Guayaquil, with three weekly frequencies on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays, departing from Rafael Núñez airport at 12.20pm and Guayaquil – Cartagena, on the same days, departing from José Joaquín Olmedo airport, at 9am local time.
Avianca sets course for Ecuador
Avianca has also announced the opening of routes between Medellín and Guayaquil and Medellín and Quito, which will be inaugurated on 26 and 28 March respectively.
"Colombia's connectivity with Ecuador is essential for Avianca. As an example, in 2022 we have already carried nearly 470,000 passengers on more than 3,740 flights between the two countries and have transported nearly 50,000 tons to and from Ecuador. With these new operations, we are completing 20 routes in Medellín; 11 in Cartagena and another 15 in Ecuador. In this way, we continue to consolidate our Avianca for All, with more direct routes and a flexible, tailor-made product, so that more Latin American travellers can fly", said David Alemán, Avianca's Sales Director for Colombia and South America.
For his part, Ecuador's Minister of Tourism, Niels Olsen, welcomed the opening of the new routes.

When a family goes through a divorce or legal separation, the needs of the children are the most important consideration. To ensure the best emotional and financial outcome possible, children have the right to financial support from both parents. By helping obtain an appropriate support agreement that is child-focused and equitable, our skilled Michigan child support lawyers support your family during this time.
If you find yourself going through a divorce or separation and have children, it is your top priority to make sure they are financially taken care of. Call to speak to our family law attorneys at (517) 394-7500.
Child support is a court-ordered payment to help cover the costs of raising a child in Michigan. The total monthly child support calculation usually includes 1). base support and 2). healthcare and 3). childcare costs. Child support can be ordered during your divorce case, paternity/custody case (for non-married parents), or support case.
Child support is intended to help pay for the expenses of raising a child, including food, shelter, clothing, school supplies, childcare, and personal care items. Child support can also go toward helping offset other costs to the custodial parent, such as additional living space needed to house a child and utility usage.
No two child support cases are the same. With so many variables, such as incomes, overnight percentages, and other factors, determining appropriate support can be confusing. Divorce and custody can be major hurdles to overcome financially. And while it's not "just about money," the fact of the matter is raising children isn't cheap. We focus on the kids, making sure whatever resolution is reached best serves their interests.

UN experts consider options to prevent 12,000 million tonnes of plastic litter reaching the seas by 2050
7th December 2018: Geneva, Switzerland
With UN Environment reporting that 12,000 million tonnes of plastic will be in landfills or in the natural environment by 2050 under current trends[1], the international community mobilised in Geneva, Switzerland this week to explore ways to tackle marine plastics litter, one of the most visible and pressing environmental issues of our time.
Improved governance, a holistic approach, a possible new global treaty, strengthening existing initiatives and instruments, and better coordination among them, were considered as options, which will go to the next UN Environment Assembly, UNEA-4 in Nairobi next March, for consideration and actioning.
One existing legally-binding instrument, the Basel Convention, was recognised as a valuable avenue for governments and stakeholders to tackle plastic pollution, given it is almost universal and has a number of relevant features, with amendments being discussed at its next conference of the parties next year. Focussing on tackling waste generation at source and at the household level, a Basel Convention Partnership on Household Waste was initiated in 2017 to explore and disseminate innovative solutions, an integrated approach, avoidance and minimisation of waste at source as well systems for the collection, separation, transport, storage, treatment, processing, recycling and where necessary, final disposal, of household waste. More information is available here.
Responding to the call for urgency and to improve actions in the Mediterranean region, strengthened cooperation between international agreements was announced on Friday 6th December, with the secretariats of the Barcelona Convention[2] and the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions[3] signing a new memorandum of understanding aimed at boosting regional efforts including to beat plastic pollution.
Next, the Basel Convention's Conference of the Parties (COP), in April/May 2019, will consider a range of additional steps to better address the challenges of plastics wastes[4] including proposed amendments to the Convention to better address plastic wastes[5]; a set of further actions and establishing a new Partnership on Plastic Waste designed as an international vehicle for public-private cooperation, sharing of best practices, and technical assistance in the area of at-source measures to minimise and more effectively manage plastic waste, thus helping tackle the global environmental problem of marine plastic litter. More information on minimising plastic waste is available here.
The Secretariat of the Basel, Rotterdam, and Stockholm Conventions, or BRS Secretariat, supports parties implement the three leading multilateral environment agreements governing chemicals and waste, in order to protect human health and the environment. See www.brsmeas.org for more info and follow @brsmeas twitter feed for daily news.
The Barcelona Convention was adopted in 1976 and aims to protect and improve the marine and coastal environment in the Mediterranean, whilst promoting regional and national plans contributing to sustainable development. Today, 21 countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, as well as the European Union, are Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention. The UN Environment / Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) is a cooperative effort to support the implementation of the Barcelona Convention. See web.unep.org/unepmap for more info.

Green & Gold. I.T. Was A Special Moment With Isaiah Thomas Back In Boston
The Cigar.
Cousy. Havlicek.
Bill Russell, Larry Bird.
Antoine Walker, Paul Pierce.
Rajon Rondo. Kevin Garnett. Say what you will but Ray Allen too from three.
Isaiah Thomas.
Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, Al Horford, Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum. IF they can get it together and turn what looks good on paper into what's engraved wrote read in history books for the most storied franchise in NBA history.
Boston Celtic legends. The pride of New England.
From the last cigar to the golden era, Isaiah Thomas belongs there like his spelt differently namesake Detroit Piston being a Bad Boy to all that Magic and Bird in the Showtime of the 80's.
And last night in the Garden perfect parquet court was held for the return of the fourth quarter king. Since Beantown, the microwave juggernaut, spark plug off the bench has bounced around the league like drinking too much coffee. From LeBron's Cavalier land to the Los Angeles Lakers. Always providing that brief spark off the pine of what could be and what he had here, despite being Nygma green riddled by injury and franchise business disloyalty. But last night decked out in green and gold like Lianne La Havas, special edition Kobe's for the night that even a Laker would love (forget that never wear green meme), as he took to the floor none of that mattered.
Sat back on the scorers table as cool as Celtic green cucumber in his warm-ups, I.T. took in a fitting tribute on the jumbotron for a team that knows too that they shouldn't have traded him (he postgame not so quipped that if they never dealt him they could be dealing with another championship in those league leading rafters right now where surely his number 4 jersey held up by fans behind him will one day reside in pride of place). Beaming with that same Celtic pride through all the pain, you've never seen the slow grind smile like his since he was putting in work here in Massachusetts. The big screen video took us through his fourth quarter heroics, big shots and the moment he's overcame it all to play in the wake of his sister's tragic death and lead his team to epic, emotional glory.
Gerald Green's Ruthless Two-Hand Putback Slam on Mason Plumlee
And once the ovation stood up for a call game, more than a minute of time and moment of Paul Pierce like truth tribute, there wasn't a butt on a bleacher or dry eye in the house.
Especially Isaiah, who couldn't contain his pride and joy. Wiping away tears and wordlessly mouthing thank yous to everyone in attendance who clapped until their hands were red and cheered until hoarse. Celtic fans are real NBA fans who recognize that green collar hard work and know a Boston boy when they see one, no matter the uniform.
Thomas on limited minutes as the golden Nuggets make that postseason push to conference contention behind the state of those dynasty reigning Warriors, only sealed seven minutes in the actual game and he didn't make a basket for more Boston bravado cheers. But that didn't matter in this instance. Neither did the W his new team took away on the road with a 114-105 pruning in the Garden, as the Joker and all the Mile-High basketball cards clinched a playoff berth outside Colorado.
What mattered was this beautiful reunion between team and one of its favourite players. Sure this current Celtics outfitted for the banners and Hall looks so much better on dry erase like their storied LeBron Laker rivals with the King in throne tow. But look at the Magic of Hollywood right now. With a guy like Isaiah, Boston basketball was that little bit more inspired with the iconic little man. There was a little more hoop dream hope there too. And for both city and son it hasn't been as sweet the same since.
Like I.T. says with the last word from last night.

La Sainte-Gertrude est une rivière française qui coule dans le département de la Seine-Maritime. C'est un affluent direct de la Seine en rive droite.

Géographie

La Sainte-Gertrude est un cours d'eau du pays de Caux. Elle naît sur le territoire de la commune de Maulévrier-Sainte-Gertrude. Elle a une orientation générale allant du nord-nord-ouest vers le sud-sud-est. Elle conflue avec la Seine (rive droite) à Caudebec-en-Caux. Son cours se déroule au sein du parc naturel régional des Boucles de la Seine normande et fait .

Communes traversées

La Sainte-Gertrude traverse les communes de Maulévrier-Sainte-Gertrude, Saint-Arnoult et Caudebec-en-Caux, toutes trois situées dans le département de la Seine-Maritime.

Hydrologie

Le module de la Sainte-Gertrude a été observé durant une période de 36 ans (1972-2007), à Caudebec-en-Caux, ville normande située au niveau de son confluent avec la Seine. Le bassin versant de la rivière y est de .

Le module de la rivière à Caudebec-en-Caux est de /s.

Les fluctuations saisonnières de débit de la Sainte-Gertrude sont très faibles, comme c'est bien souvent le cas dans le nord-ouest du bassin de la Seine, et plus particulièrement en Haute-Normandie. Il est bien difficile de parler de hautes et de basses eaux pour un cours d'eau aussi régulier. Cependant, on constate que les débits mensuels moyens montent très doucement à partir d'octobre (/s) jusqu'au printemps (de mars à mai : débit de 1,49 à /s), puis baissent tout aussi doucement jusqu'au mois d'octobre. On doit admettre que la Sainte-Gertrude est une rivière à débit mensuel moyen quasi constant tout au long de l'année. Cependant ce ne sont là que des moyennes mensuelles et les débits peuvent montrer des fluctuations plus prononcées selon les années et sur de courtes périodes.

Ainsi aux étiages, le VCN3 peut baisser jusqu'à /s, en cas de période quinquennale sèche, ce qui reste plus que satisfaisant pour une aussi petite rivière.

Les crues ne sont jamais très importantes. Les QIX 2 et QIX 5 valent respectivement 2,4 et /s. Le QIX 10 est de /s, le QIX 20 de /s, tandis que le QIX 50 n'a pas été calculé. Ainsi, comme on le voit, compte tenu de la taille de son bassin, la Sainte-Gertrude se situe parmi les rivières les plus calmes du pays.

Le débit instantané maximal enregistré à Caudebec-en-Caux a été de /s le , tandis que la valeur journalière maximale était de /s le . En comparant la première de ces valeurs à celles des différents QIX de la rivière, il apparaît que cette crue, était bien plus importante que la crue vicennale déterminée par le QIX 20, et donc tout à fait exceptionnelle.

La Sainte-Gertrude est une rivière petite, mais très abondante. La lame d'eau écoulée dans son bassin versant est de 742 millimètres annuellement, ce qui représente largement plus du double de la moyenne d'ensemble de la France tous bassins confondus, et plus du triple de la moyenne du bassin de la Seine (plus ou moins 240 millimètres). Le débit spécifique (ou Qsp) atteint de ce fait le chiffre très élevé de 23,5 litres par seconde et par kilomètre carré de bassin.

The best decision I've made is pulling my son from a charter school and taking him to Sloan. He and I both agree with the school's slogan, "There's No Place Like Sloan"! The A Beka curriculum is taught by some of the most AMAZING teachers. Parents are very informed by their child's teacher regarding performance. It is a great feeling when I drop him off every morning knowing that he is going to be mentored, loved, prayed with and prayed for by the best teachers and staff. The students are not seen as "just a student" and the parents are not seen as "just a parent", we are The Sloan School Family!
We love the Sloan school. Everyone is welcoming from the front office to the entire staff to the owners. We are blessed to find a school that treats our son like one of their own. I would highly recommend the Sloan school.
We are so blessed to have found such a school as Sloan. Not only does our child thoroughly enjoy going to school every day to see his teacher Ms. Jessica, but the warmth and love that we receive from all the staff make it that much more comforting. The Sloan school really is a "Family" and that is the feeling you get from everyone there. We could not have found a better environment for our children. I highly recommend this school. Thank you Sloan School!!
Our children have attended the Sloan School since 2011 and our youngest will graduate in 2021. The teachers, staff and administrators are unfailingly friendly, proficient, and sincerely devoted to nurturing the kids in their faith in Christ. We would highly recommend the Sloan School to any parent seeking a safe, healthy, loving and academically serious environment.
Our 3 year old son came to preschool at Sloan and we were so grateful to find such a welcoming, wonderful place for him to thrive. Having recently moved to the area, we did an exhaustive search of local schools & once we found Sloan we felt immediately at home. The warmth, love and support we experienced there by the Sloans, the incredible staff, the wonderful teachers, and the great community of parents was nothing short of amazing. Our son was nurtured emotionally and developmentally, challenged academically and loved unconditionally... and he was so excited to go to school every day! We couldn't be happier with the Sloan School!
Not long after coming to The Sloan School, we asked ourselves, why didn't we move here sooner! We had family members at the school who were driving from Plano to Irving - that sent us a message. We have been very happy and can tell a big difference in our children. Their attitude is always positive and they are always looking forward to the next school day!
My daughter has attended The Sloan School since June 2010 and has loved taking part in the school. This has been a wonderful change for her socially and developmentally. The teachers and staff have all done a great job with communicating and keeping parents updated on current issues.
Aidan had been with a private sitter (family friend) from 6 months to 2 years old. I was apprehensive about moving him to a school - now all I can say is BEST DECISION EVER! He has blossomed in a great Christian environment.
The Sloan School has been a second family to our family. When we drop our daughter off each day we don't have to worry at all because we know she will be taken care of like she was their very own. Security is of the best I have ever experienced in a school. We love Sloan!!!
Sloan School is a steady influence of God honoring values in my son's life. He is valued, loved, and instructed by a very dedicated staff and teachers. It is nice to know what we believe as truth is being taught and lived out to our son every day.
Both our children go to Sloan. We cannot imagine them going anywhere else. The teachers are always accessible and really care, and Mr. Darin and Ms. Christy provide leadership and a Christian spirit. Ryan and Samantha are going to have great memories and friendships from their time at Sloan.
I was one of those people. I said no daycare was worth the price of leaving my children with strangers. No work salary was worth it. Then I became a single daddy. I remember the day I walked into Sloan. Sam was 18 months old. I cried like a baby up at the front. Walking out was the hardest thing I had ever done. Now, leaving is just as hard. I didn't know it on that first day, but I soon learned that I had left my child in Jesus' arms. The presence of Jesus is pervasive throughout the Sloan School and He walks the halls smiling at kids and teachers alike. I believe this with all of my heart. This truth is a direct reflection of both of you (Darin and Christy) and the teachers you embrace. I didn't deserve you, just as I feel humble before Christ in church. I will never forget what you did for us.
Thank you so much for providing me with such a strong educational and Christian foundation. It means so much to me that you care so much about your students, and only provide the best teachers possible. I cherish so many great memories from The Sloan School, ranging from field trips to singing on stage during Chapel. I love that I attended your school instead of a public elementary school - you prepared me so well for the harder middle school classes. This year, I graduated from high school "distinguished", which only about thirty students out of 400+ do each year. I just wanted to thank you and let you know that it wouldn't have been possible without you!!

Somebody is always screaming, a dozen dirty diapers provides a less-than-refreshing aroma and "Ring Around The Rosie" has played so many times that I could pull my hair out. Welcome to my life teaching Pre-K abroad. When I decided to teach English in Thailand, I never thought I'd be caught dead teaching Pre-K. In Thailand, teaching Pre-K means teaching 17 two year-olds for seven hours a day, five days a week.
It can be tough to manage such a young age group, but luckily I'm not alone. I've got a wonderful Thai co-teacher by my side and an assistant — sometimes two assistants. Teaching Pre-K is a challenge and takes a lot of patience and discipline in order to handle so many students. As a new teacher, I still make mistakes and am still learning how to manage the students. But I've learned a lot through my employment and have come up with a few tricks of the trade that have made me into a better teacher.
As I started teaching midway through the school year, my students already had a strong attachment to my co-teacher. Due to this attachment, the students didn't treat me the same way they did towards my co-teacher. There was a significant lack of respect and frankly some students just didn't like me.
The fact that I don't speak Thai can also be tricky with young kids. One student in particular was very scared of me during the first two months because I spoke a different language. It was difficult to connect with her but I kept trying in hopes of improving our relationship. It took a long time and a lot of rejection but one day, it clicked. She said my name for the first time and slowly but surely began to trust me.
Once my students started to like me, trust me and see me as an authority figure, running the classroom became significantly easier. Making the students laugh and acting sweet and loving towards them helps form a bond between student and teacher. However, it is equally important to for the students to see their teacher as an authority figure.
As a Pre-K teacher, I have tried, failed and tried again. I have made plenty of mistakes, such as making lessons too difficult or not managing my time effectively. It takes some trial and error when starting any new job. But it especially takes trial and error when dealing with young children who have very different personalities. Some students respond better than others to certain things. For example, one of my students will stop misbehaving if I give him the wrong look, while another student needs to go to time-out to stop misbehaving. It takes time to learn about each student and how he/she responds in all types of situations. It is important to pay attention to detail and learn what works and what doesn't work in all aspects of the job.
Coming up with "lesson plans" for Pre-K can be challenging considering the short attention span and the age of the students. When I first started teaching, I had no idea what to do for classes like "phonics" or "educational games." It took a while before I was able to make lesson plans and projects that met the ability of the students. Two years-olds love to stick things on paper, do simple puzzles, paint and use their imaginations. Simplifying lessons as much as possible, while still making them fun and creative is vital.
It's also useful to utilize Internet sources and the basic knowledge of your students. Websites such as, "Pinterest" have great ideas for crafts, lesson plans and teaching methods. In addition, creating lessons that appeal to the interest of your students works well. For an example, I've created puzzles that require students to put numbers "1-5" in order. When the student completed the puzzle, there was a picture of popular cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse or Hello Kitty. My students loved this activity and responded better it because it involved their favorite cartoon characters.
A mistake I made was not establishing a sense of order from the beginning. It's important to enforce order and rules at the very beginning of the school year so students begin to develop a daily routine. With a lot of students, it's difficult to get anything done without a set routine that they understand. My students know that in the morning they wash their hands, sit at the table, go through attendance and sing a few songs. Maintaining the same routines means there is less instruction needed and things can get done quicker. In addition, it is vital to enforce rules and discipline your students. Students need to learn at an early age how to treat their peers (e.g. no hitting) and act appropriately at school and in daily life. I teach my students to be polite and do things on their own, such as throwing away their own garbage and changing by themselves.
The biggest piece of advice I can give to future Pre-K teachers is to stay relaxed because there will be chaos every single day. At age two, students are not babies anymore so they are learning to develop their own independence. I had several strong personalities in my class. This ranges from the student who insists on changing clothes five times a day to the student who bites others to the one who runs down the hall whenever he gets the chance. I remind myself on a daily basis to stay calm and do the best I can. *** As challenging as Pre-K is, it is also rewarding. My students changed and grew so much from the beginning of the term to the end. It has been incredible to watch my students go through so many changes and know that I was a part of that development. Next term, I'm moving to K-1 with my students. We will have a class of 25 kids. Along with new students, I am anticipating new challenges, as well as new rewards.
