Commonwealth Queen’s Baton representatives from MHS are Bruce Philip and Andrea Goodman. Christmas Retirals Mrs Dobson, Principal Teacher of ASN is retiring at Christmas after 12 years working at Monifieth High School. The school wishes her all the very best for a long and happy retirement. CHARITY Blythswood Shoebox appeal Pupils at Monifieth High School have again been involved in collecting items for the Annual Shoebox Appeal 2013 which is run by Blythswood Care. The S2 Charities Team helped to organise the Appeal at Monifieth High School, which aims to give people of all ages the opportunity to receive gifts at Christmas in poorer countries such as Romania, Albania, Bulgaria and India. The Charities team worked hard to encourage pupils to fill regular sized shoeboxes with items such as toiletries, new clothes, stationery, household goods such as candles, DIY items such as screwdrivers, stationary and sweets. The appeal was very successful and the S2 Charities Team collected 69 shoeboxes. These boxes are now on their way to help brighten the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves at Christmas. Thanks to all who were involved in this worthwhile process. As you know we have adopted the four values from the Scottish Mace as our school values (Integrity, Compassion, Justice & Wisdom) and in order to make the pupils think compassionately about others in our community they were invited to bring in £1 to help support our annual Senior Citizen Christmas Tea Dance. We hosted an afternoon of entertainment and dance and our guests went away with a beautiful planter (made in Technical, painted in Art and filled with bulbs grown in Science) as a present. All of the guests were thrilled with their gift and one said ‘it will brighten up the duller days of winter every time they look at it’. MacMillan Coffee Morning On Friday 27th September, the staff from Monifieth High School staff took part in ‘The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.’ Through this event, the school raised £314.40 for Macmillan Cancer Support. A range of delicious homemade cakes were baked by pupils in the school. A raffle was also with a wide range of prizes to raise funds for McMillan Cancer Support.

While everyone looked for the missing children they and the witches were a hundred miles away near a swamp. “Alright I know I said we’d feed the girl but the boy would also make a tender morsel for some croc. There’s almost too much meat on him for tonight. Besides girls are tastier than boy,” Raven said. “I that’d be ok. It’s not like he going to enjoy himself. Also that girl you selected isn’t good for sex,” was Jenny’s answer. Rope appeared in ravens hand and she pushed the boy to the ground. The boy’s feet were tied and with the use of magic she hoisted the boy up into the air. He was dangling by his feet and ten feet below a dozen hungry crocodiles were in a big frenzy, snapping at their food. “How are you to do it, fast or slow?” Jenny asked. “I think it’s going to be fairly fast. That way they don’t eat us as appetizers,” Raven replied. The teenager watched as her mentor lower the struggling boy being lowered. He could see the crocodiles coming closer and didn’t like it. He could see the beasts circling and their sharp teeth gnashing at him. The last thing he saw was a big croc jump up and he managed a short scream. When the crocodile splashed back into the water the boy’s head was gone. Raven let go of rope and the

Transferability of Teck’s Competitive Advantage Teck Zinc has established itself as a world leader in zinc production and technology. However, as Hu points out, competitive advantages and success for a company at home, does not always assure commensurate success abroad. When considering Teck’s expansion into India, there are many ways in which this may be accomplished : Mode of Entry Advantage Disadvantage Exporting Ability to realize global scale economies High transportation cost/Potential tariff barriers/Problems with marketing Joint Ventures Access to partner’s knowledge Sharing development costs and risks Difficulties achieving global strategic coordination Lack of control over technology/Political acceptability? Wholly owned subsidiary Protection of technology Assumption of all development and risk/Establishment of tight control necessary for achieving global strategic coordination Table 4 – Options of Entry into the Indian Market Of these, establishing a wholly owned Indian subsidiary requires the highest commitment and has the highest risks. Better options early on would be to establish the Teck brand by means of exporting both zinc concentrates and refined zinc metal to make up for forecast supply shortfalls within the next 5 years. The potential for a Joint Venture may also be appealing. Teaming up with a domestic Indian company could help in several ways :
Government relations JVs can help smooth potential government protection policies Access to Raw Materials JVs may be a means of gaining access to raw materials Local Market Information JVs may be a means to gain much needed local market information In considering the transferability of Teck’s competitive advantage, the different methods of entry offer different potential for success. May be Transferable May be Non- Transferable Quality Export – although would not have brand recognition JV – would require sharing of technology Subsidiary – depending on raw materials availability and skills of workforce Service Support Export , JV and subsidiary – distance may be a factor Customizable Production Export – as per current operation JV and Subsidiary – depending on transfer of proprietary technology Cost leadership JV and Subsidiary – take advantage of low cost of labour Export – high cost of transportation Distribution Export – take advantage of current routes to Asia/may require new warehouses JV and Subsidiary – require development of new distribution routes Tacit Knowledge Export – as per current operation JV and Subsidiary – difficult to transfer knowledge of management Table 5 – Transferability of Teck’s Competitive Advantage

I you good news of great joy for all the people: To you is born a Savior, Christ the Lord. Your sins are forgiven in ☩ Jesus’ name. Amen.

O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; come and behold him, born the king of angels: Refrain O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord! 2 The highest, most holy, light of light eternal, born of a virgin, a mortal he comes; Son of the Father now in flesh appearing! Refrain 3 Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, sing, all ye citizens of heaven Glory to God in the highest: Refrain 4 Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to thee be glory giv'n! Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing: Refrain Prayer of the Day The true light that enlightens everyone has come into the world! The Lord be with you. And also with you. Let us pray… Almighty God, you made this holy night shine with the brightness of the true Light. Grant that here on earth we may walk in the light of Jesus’ presence and in the last day wake to the brightness of his glory; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

In this activity, students will draw conductor cards, count the syllables, and then place the card on the appropriate spot on the syllable sorting train (1, 2, 3 syllables). AND: Compound Trains: In this activity, the students will have a list of words like the ones in the picture below, and will have to write down “compound trains” or compound words that they find when they put the cards together. Students will be encouraged to come up with 6-8 from the deck of cards. EXAMPLE OF A FEW WORDS: BOTH: Social Studies/Technology Integration: Santas Around the World Some children in this country believe in Santa Claus if they celebrate Christmas. In other countries or cultures, children believe in other figures. Have the students research “Santa Clauses” around the world using iPads and briefly write down and share their findings with their group members. Art: Building your own Conductor In this center, set up supplies so that the children can make themselves into a conductor. They can be creative with this center and incorporate knowledge about conductors from the book to make their own. These can be hung up around the classroom. Writing: Sequencing Events Have the students write a “News Article” of The Polar Express, sequencing the events in the order they happened. The student will have to pick out a few main ideas of the story and focus on these in the paragraph they are allotted. This will help the students remember what happened in the story, as well as recognize the main ideas, and communicate this using new language and words from the story. Reflections and Documentation/Evidence of Lesson Effectiveness There are so many ways to incorporate this Christmas classic in the classroom. These are a few of the ideas I decided to share because I found that they were appropriate for the grade level I intend to teach. These activities will help the students learn new vocabulary, recognize compound words, count syllables, learn about other cultures, and most importantly, have fun. I would only do this lesson if a clear majority of my students celebrate Christmas, and I would still emphasize that there are other holidays and not everyone celebrates in the same way. Taking pieces from different resources allowed me to create a full-bodied lesson that encourages educating the whole student. Literacy and writing are used as well as a social studies and art integration. This allows students of all interests to better comprehend the material and further extend on their learning. The students will walk away with a better understanding of phonics after this lesson.
Nursery Christmas Party Our Christmas party is Thursday 13th December at 10 am. All children who attend on a Thursday morning should come to nursery as normal.

Lack of energy saps your willpower and makes every task more boring and unpleasant. If you find yourself delaying a task over and over again, perhaps schedule it during your power hours: the time of day you have most "zip". For many of us, it is between 10:00 and 2:00. Since not everything can be done in these four high-willpower hours, reserve this time for the really hard to pursue tasks. Reframe your sub to make use of your power hours:

6 File System/Autoupdate 6.1 Goals The autoupdate system has the following Updates are over the wire. Delta updates are quick to apply. Root file system is mounted read-only (another mount point is read/write for storing state). Device can automatically revert to previous installed version of the OS if the newly installed OS fails to boot properly. Updates are automatic and silent. Updates should be small. System protects users from security exploits. System never requires more than one reboot for an update. There's a cap on how much space the root file system, previous version(s), downloaded updates, etc. can take up. There's a clear division between the storage locations on the drive for system software and for user data.
