Multy-currency safe trading with careful money management and S/L control.
(!) In order to increase profitability of a trading system, I would recommend rebate services that compensate part of broker's commission (spread). You will easily find the most reliable of them using Google search engine.
(!!) This account uses 100% of equity. Please keep in mind that neither of numerous FX systems will guarantee safety of your deposit during force majeure on markets. Occasional losses are simply part of Forex trading. Instead of hopelessly trying to avoid them, the key strategy to profitability - is to diversify trading activities within several brokers and to use multiple trading systems. Kindly make sure you distribute your funds among several signals and signal providers. I will also add links to few of my other signals below from time to time.
(!!!) Regular profit withdrawal is crucial part on the way to overall profitability. Regardless of whether you decide to reinvest your funds in another Signals, or to transfer them to your bank account, please make sure to withdraw your profit from time to time.
MFE and MAE Distribution Point Graphs
Maximum profit (MFE) and maximum loss (MAE) values are recorded for each open order during its lifetime. These parameters additionally characterize each closed order using the values of the maximum unrealized potential and maximum permitted risk. MFE/Profit and MAE/Profit distribution graphs display each order as a point with received profit/loss value plotted along the X-axis, while maximum displayed values of potential profit (MFE) and potential loss (MAE) are plotted along the Y-axis.
Place your cursor over parameters/graph captions to see the best and worst trading series. Find out more about MAE and MFE distributions in the article Mathematics in Trading: How to Estimate Trade Results.
The average slippage based on execution statistics on real accounts of various brokers is specified in pips. It depends on the difference between the provider's quotes from "AMarkets-Real" and the subscriber's quotes, as well as on order execution delays. Lower values mean better quality of copying.

Nature and creativity joined forces in the General Teaching Council for Scotland's Shutterbugs photography competition this year.
The competition was created to combine the Year of Creative Scotland in 2012 with the Year of Natural Scotland in 2013 by encouraging entrants to use their creativity to capture the essence of the Scottish outdoors.
The winners have now been announced from hundreds of submissions. The competition was split into three categories: primary, secondary and registrants, with judges choosing the best in each category and an overall winner.
Leading the judging panel was internationally renowned landscape photographer Colin Prior. He is known for his stunning landscape shots of Scotland and wild places around the world and was joined by GTC Scotland chief executive Anthony Finn and Paul Symington, from Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.
The winner of the primary category was Rikki Gilchrist from Mill O' Forrest Primary, in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, with his silhouetted image of trees; runner-up was Harry Colville from Pitcoudie Primary in Fife, with his image of a spider in a thornbush.
Chloe Fyfe, from Plockton High, Highland, won the secondary category, with her image of a sunset taken from the Island of Skye; she also scooped the overall chairman's award. The runner-up in the secondary category was Ruaridh Campbell, from Merchiston Castle School in Edinburgh, with his image of a puffin.
The winner of the registrant category was Charles Garnet, a supply teacher in Glasgow, with a picture of a swan in Darnley Country Park; runner-up was Alasdair Gurney, also a supply teacher, with his image of a storm on Easdale.

WASHINGTON, DC — Vote Hemp released today ratings of the leading presidential candidates to help voters nationwide learn more about their views on non-psychoactive industrial hemp. The results of the survey are available at www.VoteHemp.com/voter_guide.html. Candidates were given a letter grade reflecting their views and willingness to participate in the “2004 Vote Hemp Candidate Survey,” which asked the candidates if they support: hemp farming and processing in the U.S. under a straightforward regulatory regime similar to those in the EU, Canada and other countries; states’ rights to study hemp farming and processing without federal interference; hemp fiber products for construction, automotive, paper, textile and other industries; and hemp food products in the face of the Bush Administration’s attempt to ban them. The survey results are crucial for an increasing number of U.S. farmers, environmentalists and entrepreneurs who are seeking reform in laws affecting the cultivation and processing of industrial hemp and hemp products in the United States.
“After spending three months trying to get these candidates to respond to our survey, it is clear that most of them have not researched this issue and choose to remain ignorant on the benefits of industrial hemp.” says Eric Steenstra, President of Vote Hemp, the leading organization dedicated to the recommercialization of hemp agriculture and industry in the United States. “Only Democrat Dennis Kucinich, Green Party Candidate David Cobb and Libertarian Gary Nolan received ‘A’ grades,” says Steenstra.
Representative Dennis Kucinich replied to the survey just two weeks after receiving it. He expressed full support for keeping hemp food products legal, despite the Drug Enforcement Administration’s attempt to ban edible hemp. He also supports allowing farmers to grow hemp and would loosen restrictions on industrial hemp research. He is by far the strongest supporter of hemp among Democrats.
Senator John Edwards was at first reluctant to answer the survey, but after getting a direct question in New Hampshire from Vote Hemp National Coordinator Tom Murphy, Edwards personally promised to answer the survey. Edwards got a “B-” rating for keeping his promise and supporting states’ rights to research industrial hemp without federal interference. However, he remained “undecided” on the legality of hemp food and hemp cultivation. As an interesting side note, Edwards grew up in Robbins, NC, a town that from 1904 to 1943 was named “Hemp” due to hemp agriculture’s prominence as one of America’s most important crops before the “Reefer Madness” hysteria of last century.
Governor Howard Dean received a “C-” grade based on his past neutral position on pro-industrial hemp legislation that became law in Vermont without his signature in 1996. Dean’s failure to respond to the Vote Hemp survey despite publicly stating that he would give his position on any issue, and his clear neglect of his staff’s recommendations to reply, resulted in his below average rating.
Both the Reverend Al Sharpton and Senator Joe Lieberman received “D-” grades for failing to respond to the survey after numerous attempts to contact them.
Senator John Kerry and General Wesley Clark received “F” grades for publicly promising they would answer our survey and, even after extending deadlines to accommodate them, breaking their word by failing to respond. Unfortunately both Kerry and Clark chose to play politics instead of honoring their public promises.
President George W. Bush received an “F” grade for overseeing the DEA’s assault on industrial hemp over the past few years. His campaign responded to the survey by saying they were not established yet and later refused to respond.
Hundreds of U.S. businesses, mainly small or family operations, manufacture for resale or own stores that sell a wide variety of products made from industrial hemp. Products made with hemp fiber and seed are sold in thousands of retail stores across the country, including chain stores like Wal-Mart, Staples, Whole Foods Market and The Body Shop. Hemp fiber composites are in over two million U.S. cars made by Ford, DaimlerChrysler and other auto-makers. Unfortunately, American companies must import hemp fiber and seed from Canada, Europe and Asia. This is despite the fact that hemp grows well in all 50 states and the U.S. has a long and rich history of hemp farming dating back to Colonial times when George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp on their farms and widely promoted the use of hemp. A recent Zogby poll of 1,000 likely U.S. voters showed that 66% support allowing U.S. farmers to grow industrial hemp.
Vote Hemp is a national non-profit organization dedicated to the acceptance of and a free market for industrial hemp and to changes in current law to allow U.S. farmers to once again grow hemp commercially.

A woman has filed a personal injury suit against Wal-Mart Stores, alleging that she was tripped by a “small and inconspicuous” bin that Wal-Mart failed to place warning cones around.
On November 16, Cheryl Knight filed suit in Texas’ Orange County District Court, saying that she was owed a duty by Wal-Mart to keep the aisles clear of merchandise.
Knight says that she was a customer at Wal-Mart on July 23 when she tripped and suffered injuries. She claims the fall was caused by an employee negligently placing a small, opaque storage bin that was close to the same color as the white tiles on the floor in an aisle.
Knight says the bin was “small and inconspicuous,” and there were no warning signs or cones placed around it to notify patrons that it was there.
Knight says that she tripped as she was reaching for an object off a shelf and turned toward her husband. She says the fall caused cartilage in her left knee to tear.
Knight alleges negligence on the part of the defendant for failure to provide a safe shopping area. She seeks damages for past and future mental anguish, impairment, lost earnings, and pain.


Silicon Graphics Octane Model CMNB015ANG300
This is my main SGI machine that I leave hooked up to keyboard/mouse/monitor. I’m trying to build it up to somewhere around the best configuration that could have been purchased in the 1998-1999 time frame. It does already have the newer revision IP30 (as seen in late-model Octanes and all Octane2s) so it’s not exactly all period appropriate as it is.
It came with an ESI (SE) graphics board but I have since replaced it with an MXI board.
The incandescent bulbs in the front panel light module were burnt out so I replaced them with a single diffused “warm white” LED.
Update 7 Jul 2017 I added 512MB of RAM and swapped the PSU out for a Cherokee 747W version. This machine is almost an Octane2 now.
Update 29 July 2017 I finally got around to installing the drivers for the Personal Video (EVO) board I had installed earlier, only to find that it causes the monitor output to be different in a way that my 19” LG LCD doesn’t like one bit… I get output that flickers to black and stays that way for several seconds, repeatedly. Plugged the output into my widescreen Viewsonic LCD and it doesn’t have any problems. So, in the meantime I’ve moved the EVO card over to my other functioning Octane, phobos. Also stole another 512MB of RAM from my parts Octane.
Update 16 Dec 2017 I picked up another frontplane to replace the faulty one from one of my other Octanes, but since this new frontplane has a v1.4 Xbow chip I decided to put it in my primary Octane so it has the most up to date hardware. Now, this machine is equivalent to an Octane2 since it has the newer frontplane, power supply and mainboard.

‘Congratulations’ sees MGMT delve further into the experimental far-out psychedelica that their first album hinted at, a move which will polarize fans, leaving some championing the new sound and others weeping the ‘do-do-do-do-do-do’ refrain of ‘Kids’ into their tie-dyed headbands come festival season. Frustrated with the disproportionate success of ‘Kids’ and ‘Time To Pretend’ from their debut, MGMT have shunned the ‘single’, taking inspiration from the prog-rock albums of the 1970’s, creating a body of work to listen to as a whole.
The album opens with the infectious, surf-pop inspired ‘It’s Working’, followed by ‘Song For Dan Treacy’, which bounces with nervous energy into ‘Someone’s Missing’, a song so unmistakably MGMT that you can almost smell the free-love drenched ponchos through the speakers. The psych-pop vibe continues with the kaleidoscopic ‘Flash Delirium’ and lyrically baffling ‘I Found A Whistle’. 5 songs in and so far, so not-too-weird- it’s only in the second half of the album, during the adventurous and supremely satisfying 12-minute ‘Siberian Breaks’ that the band really start to flex their psychedelic muscles, melding about 4 different songs into one massive cosmic journey. Channeling The Flaming Lips, the song weaves between melodies and tempos and, crucially for a 12-minute song, never falls back on bloated instrumentals to fill up the time.
‘Brian Eno’s punk-pop bass-line and simple chorus of, well, ‘Brian Eno’, is about as brilliant a song about a multi-talented music producer you’ll ever hear. Unnecessary instrumental ‘Lady Dada’s Nightmare’ misfires as an atmospheric, experimental almost-album-closer, but doesn’t upset the flow of the album, which MGMT have clearly spent a lot of time obsessing over. Things mellow out for ‘Congratulations’, closing an album that for what it lacks in hit singles, makes up for in impressive ideas and depth. MGMT will probably lose a lot of fans as a result of the shortage of single material, but they should be respected for bringing the focus back onto the ‘album’ in an era of cherry-picking songs for 79p a pop. Appropriately, the album ends with applause.

Fruit Flies and Giant Boulders
Is anyone as tired of fruit flies as I am? I've been so careful this year trying to prevent them from taking over.. last September, they were out-of-control and it wasn't until I finally discovered a rotten potato that had fallen beneath the cupboard, that I realized why they kept multiplying! I became the 'mad vacuumer' last year, using the vacuum to suck up any fruit flies in the kitchen.. I'd just stand there with the vacuum for long minutes waiting for them to land, and then I'd pounce and suck them to the great fruit bowl in the sky! They're not nearly as bad this year, but they're annoying enough that I'm starting to re-think the countertop fruit bowl.. it's also hard to keep any tomatoes around, especially when the overripe cherry ones split so quickly. I even found a fruit fly on a split Sungold in the garden!?! (The black speck at the top of the photo) Who knew that fruit flies were also out in the garden?
I've tried the vinegar on the counter, Contech's fruit fly traps (surprisingly effective) and a few other 'homemade' solutions, but I must admit that I get a lot of satisfaction from vacuuming up those little buggers..
Anyway, on another note, Dany was finally able to tackle the spot for the latest cold frame (happy anniversary to me!) Of course, as soon as he broke ground, the loud 'clink' of shovel hitting massive rock rang through the air.. After digging around and trying to uncover an edge, we realized that this particular rock was way too big to move, so we moved our 'ideal' spot just a few feet.. 'Chink'.. another huge rock.. By this time, Dany was determined, so out came the pick axe and he rigged up some homemade levers using lumber, rope and his aching back. With the help of our neighbours, and a lot of give and take, the rock eventually came out and will now be a comfy 'bench' behind the cold frame. So, back to work digging so we can get the 'less than ideal' soil removed, place the cold frame and then refill with good garden soil. 'Chink'.. a third huge rock.. Considering we were digging an area about 4 x 6-feet, that's a lot of big rocks! Out came the crowbars, rope and lumber once again and within 30 minutes, we had a stone 'seat' to sit beside our new stone 'bench'..
The good news is that the cold frame pit is now dug, excavated and ready to be refilled.. maybe tomorrow? I'll also take some photos tomorrow and post them.. too dark tonight, but here's a shot of the last cold frame that was added a few months ago.. Funny how nothing is nearly as easy as you think it will be..

Lou sat listlessly on the porch swing, barely pushing herself back and forth, back and forth; the swing creaked softly in time. Teaspoon watched her in silence for a moment, the lines on her brow and around her mouth, the shine of her eyes, all attesting to another painful conversation with Jeremiah. Teaspoon felt a familiar tightness around his heart as he did anytime one of his "boys" was hurting.
"Got room for an old man there?" he asked at last, sitting down beside her and breaking the swing's gentle rhythm. Lou only nodded. He put an arm around her and sighed, "Give him time, sweetheart, he'll realize what you did for him and Theresa one of these days."
"I don't know, Teaspoon. These days I think he might be right. I did leave them," her voice broke a little at the last with guilt and grief. "I should've stayed, maybe I - "
But Teaspoon would not let her finish. "Lou," he said, his voice uncharacteristically somber, "You acted for the best. And believe me, when that boy gets a little older and realizes that, he is goin' to feel like one low down snake to have treated you this way. I can promise you that." Teaspoon started the swing to swaying again and dug through his pocket, pulling out a bundle of faded calico. "Here, I want to show you somethin'." He pulled away the fabric and held out his hand to Lou. Cupped inside it was a tarnished locket.
He did not remember his real mother. The woman he called mother had tried to say nice things about her, but the reality was that Aloysius had been born on the wrong side of the tracks and the Hunters, who took him in and raised him as their own, were decidedly right side of the track people. They left Orleans for Texas not long after Aloysius came to them, and as he grew he felt thankful rather than regretful that he could not visit the shack he'd been born in, nor trace the older sister who'd left before his mother's death.
There were lots of Hunters. Four boys, all older than Al, and one girl, two years younger. They treated him no different than each other and they scrapped and teased and laughed together as though the ties that bound them were as strong as blood. The family worked hard, carving out a farm and a life on a frontier and Al loved every moment of it.
He was fourteen and was plowing alone under strict direction to finish the field that afternoon. But he lollygagged behind the mule and read a book on the sly. There was nothing unusual in the day, not in the sun that popped beads of sweat onto his forehead or the whir of cicadas or the pungent smell of freshly turned earth.
He looked up from his book at the sound of his name to find his mother standing at the edge of the field with another woman and one of his brothers trudging across the furrows towards him. His brother looked irritated when he reached him, "Ma wants you. Says I got to finish your plowing." He looked at the crooked work Al had already done and sighed. "This is all you've done? Pa said it's gotta get done today. How'm I gonna finish this?"
Al was not paying attention. "Who else is over there?" The farm rarely had visitors and even less rarely female ones.
"Some lady come by in a fancy coach. She's here to see you."
Al looked at his brother in confusion, "Me?" Maybe she was from a school. Al desperately wanted to get a fine education and had written a few letters of inquiry, but the only option that seemed open to a poor farm boy other than farming was the military. He felt his heartbeat pick up. Maybe one of the schools he'd written to had been impressed, maybe they'd wanted to offer a scholarship, maybe… A woman was unexpected, of course; he didn't know of any place with a woman dean or professor but then he lived in the middle of nowhere, a day's ride from even a small town; who knew what life was like in the larger world. And besides, who else could it possibly be? He jogged across the field, trying unsuccessfully to keep the grin from his face.
"Aloysius," his mother said when he reached them, her voice pinched tight, "You have a visitor."
Al tipped his hat in deference to the tall woman. Her dress rustled in the breeze. It was deep plum color, with black lace at the collar and wrists and it seemed to shine next to his mother's own faded dress and the dirty apron tied over it. For a moment, Al was ashamed.
"Aloysius!" The woman smiled and suddenly pulled him into a hug, taking no mind of the dust and sweat that smeared across her lovely dress. She smelt sickly sweet, of flowers and sugar and something else, something dark and musky. Al could not decide if it was a pleasant smell or not. Up close he could see the powder caked on her skin, which was not nearly as flawless as it had seemed from a distance. Her lips were dry and cracked and he thought they were painted. In the hollow of her throat glinted a cheap heart shaped locket. He felt his excitement melt away. This was surely not someone from a school. Al pushed away quickly, noting the disapproval in his mother's eye.
"Perhaps we could go up to the house and have some lemonade while we talk," said his mother in tones Al recognized as scolding. He nodded and followed her, the woman ecstatically grabbing his hand and walking beside him.
"Oh, it's like a dream to finally see you again," the woman gushed. Her voice was carefully calibrated, as sweet and soft as a sparrow's song. "There were times when I thought I might never find you. This farm is awfully out of the way - but lovely," she added hastily noting the sudden proud lift of his mother's chin. She looked at Al with a smile, "Do you remember me at all?" Embarrassed, Al shook his head.
The woman's face seemed to fall and his mother said in a flat voice, "This is your sister, Al, Miss Leroy."
On the porch, lemonade in hand, Al looked from his mother's pursed lips to the woman, who seemed suddenly nervous. She waved a gaudily painted fan against the heat and pushed at her hair where the perfect curls had begun to fall and wilt. She laughed anxiously and with a glance at his mother spoke. "I know I haven't seemed like much of a sister, Al. I know I should have written, should have kept up. But I didn't know where you were at first, and I was, well, I've been…" She looked again at his mother and dropped her eyes to the ground, "Times were hard at first. It was very difficult just takin' care of myself, but," she looked up at him and smiled again, "That's all changed now and I've been savin' up, bought a house, and I've come for you. We can be a family again."
"Come for me?" Al looked immediately to his mother, who said nothing.
"Of course," the woman continued, "Soon as I heard mama died that's what I've been workin' for. You're my brother, and I oughta be takin' care of you. Now, the Hunters have been real good people takin' you in like they did but there ain't no reason for you to be livin' off their charity anymore. Not when you've got real kin."
Al was stunned. He looked at his mother who was surreptitiously wiping away a tear. She spoke quickly, her voice poised between anger and sadness, "It weren't charity. Al's a true joy and we've loved him like one of our own."
The woman looked perplexed and fanned herself faster, the perfect pitch of her voice becoming lost. "And I appreciate it, Mrs. Hunter, I do. But I'm here now. It's only right Al be with his real family."
Al took one look at his mother's face and immediately spoke up, "No." The two women looked at him in shock. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I can't go with you. This is my home and this is my family."
The woman looked as though she might faint. Her pale face went even whiter and her hands trembled. "Surely you will want to think about it, first. I know we hardly know each other, but we are blood."
Al shook his head. "That might be true, but the Hunters have been the only family I've known. It's too late for anybody to go changin' that." He noticed his mother's smile out of the corner of his eye.
The woman remained speechless, staring at him. A tear forged a path through the powder on her face. The pieces seemed to click together for Al for the first time. His mother's frosty demeanor, the woman's dress, her smell, the makeup. He knew little of the world, but he knew enough to know what she was and what she had done and the price she had paid to build a home for him. And knowing it changed nothing.
"I didn't see her again," he said, squeezing Lou's hand and letting his eyes go misty. "Mother of course offered her a place at the farm, but they were both set in their ways and Fancy knew well enough to say no. There were a few letters now and then. She thought I didn't know, so there wasn't a lot she could tell me about herself or her life. I never knew how she got that house. If she was being kept by a gentleman or if she had girls working for her by then, I don't know. She died a few years after I met her. Had given directions to somebody, I suppose, because a package came to the farm. Her locket and seven hundred dollars that she'd sold her pride to save for me." He looked at Lou and hugged her gently. "He'll come around, Lou. Once he gets old enough to see that things ain't never black and white, he'll come around."
Teaspoon carefully wrapped the locket back into the bit of calico and tucked it into his pocket. He and Lou stayed on the swing until the sun had set and both their tears had dried.

Analysis: What Can We Learn From Districts That Responded Early to the Coronavirus Pandemics? Here Are 5 Takeaways
Updated May 9
The past six weeks of COVID-19 school closures have exposed remarkable variability in student experience across district and state lines. Students and families are exposed to a patchwork of vastly different approaches, expectations and opportunities.
As we step back to assess progress made thus far, we see that some districts and charter management organizations (CMOs) were able to launch comprehensive remote learning plans within a few weeks, while others are just beginning to provide basic curricular resources.
It’s impossible to point to a precise reason why one system moves quicker than another, and our research is limited to publicly available information. After systematically reviewing information on size, geography, communications and state guidance, some commonalities surface among districts that responded quickly to the crisis. These are not definitive truths but rather trends that should be studied more closely to inform efforts to learn lessons from the current crisis and build a more resilient school system.
Big systems can move fast
Large districts are sometimes portrayed as slow-moving bureaucracies, but size did not appear to slow the fast adoption of remote learning. Eight of the 10 largest districts in the country provide all students with access to formal curriculum, instruction and feedback on work/monitoring of their progress, as do five of the six largest CMOs we reviewed (each serving more than 25 schools).
Strong leadership sets the tone
During this unprecedented crisis, for which there is no guidebook to follow, states and districts must chart their own course. Leaders’ framing, messaging and delicate balancing of empathy with expectations proved critical to schools and systems taking decisive action in response.
Some leaders seem more comfortable exercising “cage-busting leadership” — challenging the laws, rules and regulations that prevent them from implementing true transformational changes — and rallying families and educators to do the same. In early April, Fort Worth Independent School District Superintendent Kent Scribner congratulated teachers for converting their traditional classrooms into at-home learning experiences. At the time, the district was one of 22 of the 82 we examined where teachers were delivering instruction and monitoring their students’ academic progress. “You can do this,” Scribner said in a video message to educators. “Maybe not perfectly at first, but well enough to continue educating your students and return some structure and normalcy to their lives.”
Contrast that with the tone of the Parent Guide School Closure FAQ from the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, which says that “for most districts, it will make more sense to cancel school altogether than to organize a learning model that cannot be accessed equitably by all students, such as online learning, on short notice.” (The office changed its guidance after Gov. Jay Inslee ordered the state’s schools closed.)
Preparation and centralized systems set some districts up for success
Other factors that appear to drive how quickly a district can mobilize have to do with its structure and preparation.
- A clear, and often centralized, approach to curriculum, communications and decision-making
Districts that quickly moved to provide curriculum, instruction and progress monitoring had to quickly set clear expectations and provide consistent support — which is possible only if those things are already in place. CMOs like Achievement First, Uncommon Schools and Success Academies were able to establish cohesive learning programs and even share their resources online, in part because they have a centralized approach to curriculum and instruction across their schools. Districts with clear decision-making protocols and strong internal communication plans could roll out decisions to staff and families faster than those that needed to put these structures in place first.
- Advance preparations taken
Even before Florida announced statewide school closures, Miami-Dade County Public Schools had already signed an agreement with its teachers union allowing remote learning plans to proceed. The district had already published an Instructional Continuity Plan that set clear expectations on curriculum to be used, teacher roles and supports, help for families and resources for special needs students and English learners. The plan was translated into Spanish and Haitian Creole, and the district has continued to add depth and sophistication to it.
Miami-Dade had also prepared for closures by surveying students to identify their technology needs and preferred communication methods. Similarly, KIPP regions in our review reached out to families prior to school closures to identify who needed technology or Wi-Fi hotspots.
- Technology infrastructure already in place
Orange County Public Schools was one of several large districts in Florida that moved quickly and decisively into a remote learning plan with teachers leading instruction and monitoring student progress. The district already had a one-device-per-student policy in place in its middle and high schools, partnerships to help establish broadband connections and a pilot blended-learning initiative in some of its elementary schools. Students and teachers had also been using the Canvas learning management system for years. Districts that already had devices in students’ hands and systems to support student and teacher collaboration were well positioned to make a quick shift to remote instruction.
- Student and family communication platforms already in use
Many districts were already using apps with students and families. Guilford County, North Carolina, already had the Canvas learning platform in place and used it to roll out a remote learning plan within a week of closure, while providing basic training to teachers and technical guidance to families who were already familiar with the technology.
State leadership and local flexibility matter
The three most populous states in the country — California, Florida and Texas — encompass about a quarter of the 82 districts we reviewed. Just three weeks into school closures, we saw disproportionate clusters of comprehensive remote learning plans in Florida and Texas but none in the districts reviewed in California. The Florida Department of Education and the Texas Education Agency had both communicated clear expectations to districts that learning needed to continue amid school closures, but the California Department of Education has not set such a requirement.
In fact, 18 of the 19 districts and CMOs in our review that rolled out comprehensive learning plans within the first three weeks are located in five states — Colorado, Florida, Maryland, New York and Texas. All those states have requirements or incentives for districts to submit remote learning plans. State organizations that insisted out of the gate that remote instruction would proceed, such as in Florida, seem to contribute to their students’ consistency of experience.
Local factors can also determine a district’s approach. A local collective bargaining agreement, for example, may constrain emergency measures or require districts to negotiate before proceeding with remote learning.
Across the country, some districts that started slowly and did not receive explicit pushes from states are now proceeding with remote learning plans. California, where no districts provided a comprehensive learning plan three weeks ago, now boasts four districts (or 50 percent of California districts reviewed) with such plans.
Decisive action now could pay dividends in the fall
When school closure orders came in March, leaders across the country had to act quickly, with limited information. They didn’t necessarily know how long schools would stay closed. They had to quickly figure out how they would support families who lacked computers or broadband connections, how to deliver appropriate special education services remotely and how to solve countless other logistical challenges to shift instruction from the classroom to the cloud.
Now, leaders must prepare for summer and fall — and still without perfect information. It’s clear that most schools across the country will not be back in session this year and that when students return in the fall, school will look nothing like normal. Districts that quickly launched remote learning in the face of ambiguity in March will have a better sense of what problems are left to solve, which families they’re struggling to reach and what additional training their teachers will need to support students remotely in the fall.
Other school districts, like Detroit and San Diego, that have only recently begun to put ambitious remote learning plans into action, are now on similar learning curves.
School systems across the country that have not begun to test the possibilities of remote instruction are now at risk of getting caught unprepared a second time.

No-Bake Chocolate Layer Delight
A layered chocolate and cream cheese dessert with no baking involved.
Servings: 12 pieces
- 1 package regular Oreo cookies (36 cookies)
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces regular cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons + 3 1/4 cups milk
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
- 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding (3.9 ounce packages)
- chocolate chips or sprinkles for garnish optional
Crush cookies into crumbs. Melt butter and combine with cookie crumbs. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
In a bowl, use a hand mixer to whip softened cream cheese, and add sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk. Mix until smooth. Gently fold in about half of the whipped topping. Carefully spread this mixture on top of the cookie crumbs. Refrigerate while next layer is being prepared.
In another bowl with clean beaters, mix budding mixes with 3 1/4 cups milk. Beat for about 2 minutes, until mixture starts to thicken. Pour the pudding over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly. Return to fridge for 5-10 minutes.
Top with remaining whipped topping, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with chocolate chips or chocolate sprinkles if desired. Keep in fridge until serving.
To serve, carefully cut into 12 large or 20 small pieces.
Be sure the cookies are the original variety, not one with extra filling or other flavors.
Be sure the cream cheese is a full fat brick, not a lower fat or whipped product.
Be sure the pudding mix instant and not a cook and serve variety. I have used both the chocolate and the chocolate fudge flavors with good results.

The first of the Wily Fortress stages contains a number of rebattles against 9 bosses from previous games in the MegaMan series: itself a number that exceeds the number of Robot Masters introduced with this game. Specifically-speaking, it contains bosses from MegaMan I-VI and MegaMan 9, the only prior 8-bit games in the series. Capcom likely skipped over more detailed games in the classic MegaMan series - such as MegaMan 7 and 8 and MegaMan & Bass - due to their graphic detail clashing significantly with the NES-style graphics of MegaMan 10.

Elder statesmen from the south and central Nigeria have blasted President Muhammadu Buhari over the removal of Matthew Seiyefa as the Director-General of the Department of State Service, DSS.
The leaders noted, in a statement obtained by CHECKPOINTCHARLEY Thursday night, that since 1960, Nigeria has never had a leader ” more sectional narrow, parochial, and tribalistic” like Mr. Buhari, whose action they said has further shown that he does not believe in a united Nigeria in which state duties are conducted with fairness and equity.
Mr Seiyefa, from Bayelsa State (South-South), was replaced by Yusuf Bichi from Kano State (North-West) on Thursday and he will resume duties on Friday, the presidency said in a statement.
Seiyefa, the most senior official at DSS, was appointed on August 7 by then acting President Yemi Osinbajo after ex-DSS DG Lawal Daura, audaciously sent operatives to lockdown the National Assembly for political reasons.
His appointment was well recieved by rights activists and pro-democracy campaigners and majority of Nigerians, who grumble over the concentration of Nigeria’s security aapparatus in the hands of Mr. Buhari’s tribesmen.
Mr. Seiyefa’s sack has elicited outpour of criticisms by Nigerians on Social Media. The majority are at a loss why president Buhari, with six months to the General Election, quickly nullified the appointment made by Mr Osinbajo, which placed a southerner in the top national security position for the first time since Mr Buhari took office in May 2015.
In the statement by the elder statesmen, they said the president by his action has dismantled all precedents that engendered a united Nigeria in order to satisfy his sectional inclinations.
Read their full statement below:
Appointment of new DG-DSS: Buhari’s vote-of-no-confidence in One Nigeria.
The outright disregard for the conditions precedent for a united Nigeria and an inclusive country which President Buhari has become well known for was taken to a new height this evening with the removal of the Acting DG of DSS,Mr Matthew Seiyefa and replacement with Mr Yusuf Magaji Bichi from Kano.
The I-don’t-care and in-your-face attitude of the President in restoring Nigeria security architecture to the provocative situation of having 16 out of 17 service chiefs from his corner of the country is a clear demonstration of the fact that Nigeria for General Muhammadu Buhari is no more than his section of Nigeria and the resources and the constitutionally mandatory votes from other sections of the country.
New SSS DG Yusuf Bichi
Since 1960,Nigeria has never had a leader more sectional ,narrow,parochial ,and tribalistic like the current President who went on a global stage to divide Nigeria into “97 % and 5%”.
We have looked critically at the profiles of the Acting DG who was removed and the one Buhari just appointed and it is crystal clear that Bichi does not come with any experience close to that of Seiyefa.
The only qualification for this appointment is therefore only the rabid nepotism of the President which has seen him always masking personal and sectional interest as “national interest.”
Besides, Bichi is an out-of-the -system man drafted by Mr Lawan Daura in the days of his nepotism rule at the DSS.
The next six most senior persons in line of succession at the DSS after Seiyefa are from our findings are all southerners which may explain why the President picked a man who already retired from the DSS to lead because of ethnic affinity.
That the President went ahead to deep himself further into the cocoon of ethnic irredentism in making this insensitive appointment shows clearly that he does not care a hoot about the unity ,cohesion and oneness of Nigeria.
We reject this appointment and we do not shy in telling Mr President that he no longer pretends that the country is one under him.
In the last few days, there have been fears coming from the international community about the dangers that would come the way of Nigeria if Mr President returns for another term.
With his latest action,we add that the country is not safe in the remainder of his first term.
Lastly we ask Mr President: Are we still one county?
Chief E.K Clark.
Chief Ayo Adebanjo
Chief John Nwodo.

HDR TV refers to a TV equipped with HDR technology. HDRhdr technology can adjust the light and dark details in the TV, so that the TV picture can be closer to the real picture effect seen by the human eye.
HDR TV means a TV with HDR technology, which is different from a TV that supports HDR decoding.
A TV that supports HDR decoding does not necessarily have HDR technology, so even if it can decode HDR video, it cannot show the effect of HDR video.
HDR technology can synthesize the final HDR image according to the LDR image with the best detail corresponding to each exposure time, which can better reflect the visual effect in the real environment.
Under the action of HDR, the colors presented by the TV are more vivid, the blacks are deeper, and the objects in the picture are clearer and clearer. At the same time, the tones of the picture are expanded, alternating between cool and warm colors.

NEED PRAYER? CALIF. DRIVE-THRU TAKES ORDERS TO GO
by Nardine Saad
LOMA LINDA — Joyce Kim needed a sign to remind her to pray.
She found it a few months ago along a stretch of rural road where she and hundreds of other Southern California commuters drive home every day.
A 4-foot placard reads “Need Prayer?” Shawn Heggi, a self-appointed Christian spiritual counselor, sits in a blue tent in the field nearby.
Now Kim tries to stop every Friday to pray with Heggi, 35, and two of his friends. They pray for a solution to Kim’s financial troubles, the domestic violence victims she works with and the medical career she put on hold during her mother’s 11-year battle with ovarian cancer.
“I go to church when I can, but that’s on a set time,” Kim said. “There may be times when I don’t have time to go to church. This is just open, it’s free, it’s available for anybody, so I stop as often I can, when I can.”
Heggi’s unconventional ministry caters to worshippers on the go, strategically placed near a traffic-heavy intersection and two hospitals. It offers a more convenient venue to pray than an institutionalized church setting, especially in an era when church attendance is shrinking, said Richard Flory, senior research associate at University of Southern California’s Center for Religion & Civic Culture.
“People can stop by and unload what they have and it keeps them from having to go to church,” he said. “It’s 20 minutes and you go away. There’s no long-term commitment.”
You can read the rest of the story here
I’m actually not sure how I feel about this one. Quirky Americanism or cheap faith? I mean, if we’re honest, isn’t she spending more time praying with each person than we do at church where we usually respond with “I’m really sorry to hear that. I will definitely be praying for you.” And then more often than not we don’t…..

Essential Characteristics Of An Excellent Descriptive Essay
Are you trying to create an excellent descriptive essay but have never done it before? Well if it is your first time then you have to take care to get it right. Only with the correct approach will you be able to enjoy a top grade once the project has been marked by the examiners – it’s a lot easier than you might think. With that thought in mind, here are the excellent characteristics of a descriptive essay:
What is a descriptive piece?
Before you go any further you have to understand the main things about a descriptive piece and they are not that difficult to comprehend. You just have to write the project from the point of view of a person who is reading understands nothing about the project.
You have to write in a way that uses a lot of descriptive language and the words have to bring the people and scenery to life. Try to read a novel and take note to all the descriptive words use there. Try to the same thing to a certain extent. If you take the time to practice this, then you will get it right.
An excellent piece of content will have very good flow to it. This essentially means that one paragraph fits in neatly with the one before it and the one after it. The key to this is to ensure that the flow of info is great. This can be done by carrying out a good quality brainstorming session before you actually being your project. During the brainstorming sessions make sure that you take all of the researched data and piece it all together so that it is presented in a way that makes sense. You’ll see that when this step is taken your ability to have a smooth writing process will be increased.
You have to select the kind of topic that a descriptive piece works with. This means that you are able to use your descriptive words in a way that are relevant. Keep in mind that some titles can only be used with a more factual approach. You should avoid these types of titles when doing a descriptive piece.

A SOUTH-WEST based group fears youth disengagement from education and training will create a “lost generation”.
South West Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) says figures released this week show more than 10,000 students in years 9 to 11 disengage from education and training each year and a further 6000 drop out within 12 months of transferring to the vocational education and training (VET) system.
South West LLEN acting chief executive officer, Helen Bayne, said the concerns were even more relevant in the south-west and other regional areas where levels of disengagement are higher than average.
On Track data, which follows the destinations of exiting students, shows the south-west region has lower than state average university uptake and the rate of year 12 attainment is substantially below the rest of Victoria.
“Completely dropping out of education, training or employment is leaving many young people rudderless,” Mrs Bayne said.
“Across the state the number of young people in this situation is growing and anecdotally we believe the figures are even more alarming in our region.”
The Great South Coast Group is tackling the issue head-on, launching the year 12 attainment program earlier this year.
Group chairman and Corangamite Shire mayor Chris O’Connor said research had shown significant and generational change was needed if there was to be any hope of boosting year 12 or equivalent attainment rates.
“Our region’s low education outcomes have huge ramifications for us as a region — for the health and wellbeing of our people and for our ability to meet our workforce demands,” Cr O’Connor said.
“We are very firm in our belief that this is not just an issue for our schools.
“It’s the responsibility of every single one of us, whether we are a parent, a teacher, a government official, a welfare worker, a police officer or any other person living and working in the Great South Coast.”
Corangamite Shire has proposed to contribute $10,000 to the program in its 2014/15 draft budget.
Mrs Bayne said the Great South Coast Education Attainment project was trying to tackle the problem.
“Education attainment is now seen as a priority issue in this region and South West LLEN is involved in the attainment project and is supporting a whole-of-community approach to help our young people to reach their potential,” she said.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Richard Gere was a true sex symbol in the 1990s due to his roles in legendary films. Probably his best known film is “Pretty Woman” with Julia Roberts. It should also be noted that no bad things have ever been heard about Richard Gere, such as alcoholism, drug addiction or other dramas.
Richard Gere was and still is a very handsome and attractive man. He was born in 1949 and flirted with the art world since he was a child, but admitted that he was quite confused after graduating from high school and did not know exactly what he should do next in his life. He went to the University of Massachusetts Amherst and studied philosophy and film, but gave up after only two years to pursue a career as an actor.
Various projects for Richard followed in theaters in Seattle and New, but the success came with the role in the movie “American Gigolo”. The film was quite controversial due to naked scenes, but many doors opened for Richard after this film.
Later, the film “An Officer and a Gentleman” followed in 1982, which was a real success, especially from a financial point of view. There have been critics who claim that the film is the best of 1982, managing to raise 130 million dollars, although the budget was only 6 million dollars. In 1990 followed the legendary film “Pretty Woman” which is still viewed by many people 30 years after its release.
Richard played the role of Edward Lewis a successful businessman who falls in love with Sunset Boulevard prostitute, played by Julia Roberts.
Richard said everything was incredible on set and it was so easy to shoot because the cast was just right.
Julia Roberts was at the beginning of her career and received only $ 300,000 for her role in “Pretty Woman.” Richard was probably paid a few million dollars for his role, being well known and loved at the time.
However, although Julia was not paid very well, her role certainly offered her many opportunities in her career.
Richard initially did not want to appear in this film and refused the offer several times, but after having dinner with Julia Roberts and director Gary Marshall he changed his mind and decided to accept the role.
Many roles and awards followed for Richard Gere, and in 2002 he won a Golden Globe for his role in “Chicago.”
However, Richard said that it was not the money that made him want more of his career and he was quite selective about his roles. Richard was only interested in acting in movies that he liked and that made him feel good. However, he earned large sums of money, but in recent years he retired and did not appear in so many productions.
The actor’s fortune is estimated at 120 million dollars and he owns luxury cars, worth 3.2 million dollars.
He also bought a $ 6.9 million property in Sag Harbor, New York in 2005 and invested more money to renovate it.
In 2013, Richard decided to sell the property and it was bought by Matt Lauer for $ 36.5 million. Richard still owns several properties.
I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that Richard had relationships with beautiful women. In 1988 Richard met Cindy Crawford and after a few dates the two began a relationship. They became the most famous couple in Hollywood, although Richard was 17 years older than Cindy. In 1991 they married in Las Vegas, but in 1995 they decided to divorce.
In 2002, Richard remarried actress Carey Lowell.
The two had a son together, but unfortunately this marriage also ended in divorce in 2013. The divorce ended after 4 years, in 2016 and it is rumored that the amounts of money that Richard had to pay were very big.
In 2014, Richard began a relationship with Alejandra Silva and they married in 2018. She said she feels she is living in a fairy tale and she is very happy.
The two have two children together and have a happy family together. They try to give their children the best. Alejandra also said that her husband is very careful with her and always makes her laugh. She is very happy with Richard.

Industry collaboration signals renewed demand for training and competency
Two Aberdeenshire firms have joined forces to offer enhanced training services to businesses operating across a range of high-risk industries.
Polaris Learning and AquaTerra Training have agreed to deliver complimentary training, development and competency management courses targeting onshore and offshore personnel. This approach will result in greater availability and choice for end-users as well as ensuring continued high standards of delivery.
Several courses developed in-house by Polaris Learning, including assessor, verifier and leadership management, will be added to AquaTerra’s training programme. Similarly, the company will promote AquaTerra as an approved provider for an extensive range of training services.
While both companies work globally, the initial focus will be on developing business relationships in the north-east and across the rest of the UK.
In addition, the two businesses will share intelligence on a variety of other key industries including oil and gas, renewables, food and drink, distilleries and construction, among others – which will allow each company to diversify further into these specific sectors.
Keith Adam, managing director at Polaris Learning, said: “We are pleased to have reached this agreement with AquaTerra and welcome the opportunity to offer a complimentary range of training services which will, ultimately, benefit the end-user.
“This is an exciting time for all of us at Polaris Learning as we continue to bring our experience in training and competency to bear amongst clients in the energy sector. This joint venture will allow us to provide additional training programmes and forge links into new industry sectors.”
AquaTerra Training was established in 2008 as part of the AquaTerra Group – a company founded in 2004 to provide difficult access operations in hazardous environments. The firm currently delivers a range of accredited, practical courses covering: work at height, confined space, rigging and lifting, transport of dangerous goods and health and safety to an average of 8,000 candidates per year.
Charlie Cameron, training director at AquaTerra Training, added: “We look forward to working together with Polaris Learning and developing this relationship over the months ahead. As a company, AquaTerra is not constrained by traditional methods or thinking and our approach is to be proactive by working with companies that share a similar ethos, drive for continuous improvement and high standards in terms of attention to detail.”
Established in 1996, Polaris Learning provides competency management services as well as an extensive range of accredited training and qualification programmes from the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) and the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM).
The business was recently approved for the Business Gateway Growth Pipeline, an intensive 18-month programme which provides across-the-board support covering business strategy, marketing strategy, IT resources and research into overseas markets.
In November 2016, Polaris Learning exhibited at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) as part of the SDI Scotland Pavilion. The company has also expanded into new geographical markets over the past 12 months, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Norway, following the development of its online and blended learning portal, PLUS.
