That being said, it’s that time of year again – NYSDTESA Conference time!!! You can see the agenda, read about the topics being addressed, meet and greet others that give their all to teaching our youth to drive SAFELY…and if that’s not enough – I’LL be there!!!  Check out the agenda right here… Lastly, if you’re interested (and I really hope you are!!) you can read about Registration and Directions/Accommodations here… ***I am not beyond bribing you to come – I can bring home baked goods if need be ::wink:: Brownie anyone?? *** Talk to your Faculty/Staff about How to Become an MV-283 Cardholder! I cannot emphasize this enough – it up to your staff. Give them the information about how EASY, WORTHWHILE, and VALUABLE it is to possess the MV-283 credential. I urge you to mention at your next meeting that this credential is a tool that can be kept in your back pocket FOREVER. * Seriously, it’s 12 credits in total. * After the first 6, he/she can get a Provisional credential good for up to 4 years. * The other 6 credits need to be done before the Provisional expires. * The time in class (or class online) goes towards Professional Development. * I’ve been told that the money spent on classes is made up within the first year of teaching (if not sooner). * It’s an AMAZING option for someone looking for extra money (Single and need to fill your time? New Parent? Retired?) * Also, you can get it and work at other schools, BOCES and colleges (Restrictions MAY apply) It’s an amazing option for your School/Staff – Here’s Why They know the kids/families already You’re paying someone you know and like – Keeping it within the “School Family” Better instruction because it’s not a stranger/substitute Better communication with families You can farm out the driving (if necessary) to a Driving School and allow them to do what they’re good at – lessons. IT GIVES YOU OWNERSHIP!!!!!! I’m not to let up on this topic. You need to hear me out on this one. Click the link below for more information 

Provide supplemental water and/or nutrients as needed to maintain plant vigor. Inspect trees and shrubs every 6 months and protect from adverse impacts including insects, diseases, competing vegetation, fire and damage from livestock and wildlife. Plant, thin and/or prune trees and shrubs in the windbreak to maintain function. Refer to conservation practice standards TREE/SHRUB PRUNING (Practice Code - 660) and WINDBREAK / SHELTERBELT RENOVATION (Practice Code - 650) during maintenance and renovation activities. This multiple-row windbreak protects the adjacent farmstead and provides important wildlife habitat.
PASSAGE (Mi.) CODE 396 DEFINITION Modification or removal of barriers that restrict or impede movement of aquatic organisms. PURPOSE Improve or provide passage for aquatic organisms. CONDITIONS WHERE PRACTICE APPLIES All aquatic habitats where barriers impede passage of aquatic organisms. CRITERIA Planning and Evaluation Evaluate sites for variations in stage and discharge, hydraulics, geomorphic impacts, sediment transport and continuity, and organic debris movement. Design passage features to account for the known range of variation resulting from this evaluation. Mitigate undesirable channel plan or profile shifts resulting from the modification or removal of a passage barrier. Plan and locate passage for compatibility with local site conditions and stream geomorphology, to the extent possible. Avoid locating fishway entrances and exits in areas that will obstruct function, increase harassment or predation, or result in excessive operation and maintenance requirements. Analyze any potentially negative interactions, including hybridization, disease, competition, or predation, between target and aquatic nuisance species when passage is provided a barrier or the barrier is planned for removal. If serious consequences are likely, take steps to minimize adverse effects, or avoid removing the barrier or providing passage. Barrier removal, especially dams and road crossings, can significantly affect wetlands, flooding potential, existing infrastructure, and social and cultural practices and resources. Evaluate and address the full range of impacts when planning or designing barrier removal projects. Barrier removal not be performed without a prior determination of the stage of channel evolution, longitudinal profiles, or performing other accepted methodologies above and below the barrier to analyze the potential impact to vertical channel stability (bed degradation). Design Requirements Design passage to accommodate present and reasonably anticipated changes in watershed conditions. Design passage structures according to known swimming and leaping capabilities of target species or a similar species with comparable swimming abilities. Utilize hydraulic computations to document how designs satisfy the physiological requirements of target organisms. Design passage structures to mimic channel geometry and morphology referenced from an adjacent reach or analog stream when the swimming and leaping abilities of target species are unknown, or when a project will benefit multiple aquatic organisms. At a minimum, design and evaluate passage structures for hydraulic performance and

(Ac.) 329 INSERT PICTURE DEFINITION Managing the amount, orientation and distribution of crop and other plant residue on the soil surface year round while limiting activities to only those necessary to place nutrients, condition residue and plant crops. PURPOSE Reduce energy use Reduce sheet and rill erosion. Reduce wind erosion. Improve soil organic matter content. Reduce CO2 losses from the soil. Reduce soil particulate emissions. Increase plant-available moisture. Provide food and escape cover for wildlife. CONDITIONS WHERE PRACTICE APPLIES This practice applies to all cropland and other land where crops are planted. This practice includes planting methods commonly referred to as no-till, strip till, direct seed, zero till, slot till or zone till. Approved implements are: no-till and strip-till planters; certain drills and air seeders; strip-type fertilizer and manure injectors and applicators; in-row chisels; and similar implements that only disturb strips and slots. All others are considered to be full-width or capable of full disturbance and therefore not compatible. CRITERIA General Criteria Applicable to All Purposes Residue shall not be burned. All residues shall be uniformly distributed over the entire field. No full-width tillage shall be performed regardless of the depth of the tillage operation. Where combines or similar machines are used for harvesting, they shall be equipped with spreaders capable of distributing residue over at least 80 percent of the working width of the header. A minimum of 30 per cent of the soil surface will be covered with dead plant material (crop residue, cover crop residue, perennial sod, or volunteer cover) immediately following the planting of the following crop. Planters or drills shall be equipped to plant directly through untilled residue or in a tilled seedbed prepared in a narrow strip along each row by planter attachments such as coulters, subsoiler shanks, in-row chisels, rotary tillers, sweeps, or row cleaning devices. Residues shall not be burned. Also, they should not be disturbed by full-width tillage operations except as follows: Seedbed preparation, planting, and fertilizer placement shall disturb no more than one-third of the row width. The row area formed by the planting operation shall be level with or slightly above the adjacent row middles unless the rows are planted on the contour. If row cultivation or spot treatment for weed escapes, leveling ruts, or similar operations become necessary, tillage shall be limited to disturbing AND

AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION LIBRARY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING MATERIALS FOR THE ALA ARCHIVES December 2011 These instructions are designed to assist the units of ALA in managing records and preparing materials for transfer to the ALA Archives, which have been located at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign since 1973. A. Retention Period The retention period for particular groups of records will very not only from unit to unit, but also among types of record. Only records that are no longer of current or even occasional use should be transferred. Materials needed for current administrative, fiscal, operational, or legal reference should NOT be transferred to the Archives. Headquarters unit files: retention periods for HQ unit files are at the discretion of the unit staff. Files held by members: units whose members in the field transfer files among officers or committee chairs should designate a specific number of years (e.g., for three years) that files would be held. Such a retention period relieves the paperwork burden on members, and helps preserve important files. B. What to Preserve The following types of material should be preserved, except where such material has been separately published (If the published materials might be needed for comparison with related material in the archives and it is not more than a few pages in length -- i.e. reprints, clippings, but not whole volumes -- one copy should be kept.). 1.

collaboration among team members. We could see the potential for close integration between the CRM and collaboration technologies.” Arcapita decided to replace Oracle Siebel CRM with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, was not on the market when the original choice was made. The change involved up to 40 users in the Investment Placement team, taking less than seven months, and went live in the first quarter of 2010. Juma says: “The project was delivered despite challenging budget constraints, and the benefits of the new system give us the flexibility we require.” Having also migrated from Lotus Notes communications technology to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, Arcapita found the integration between the Microsoft products an excellent fit. The toolset was much better for mailing documentation and reporting on performance to clients. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 includes a number of ready-to-use business reports and gives users the tools to create customised reports. Benefits The strong, long-term relationship that Arcapita has developed with its investors in the Gulf states is one of the company’s key competitive advantages. Its new CRM system has helped to offer a better and more proactive service to investors, as well as bringing additional savings across both technology and support. Juma says: “Our previous CRM system was expensive and complicated to manage. Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a better fit for our business. We believe it was the right choice—the best choice for Arcapita Bank.” Team adopt CRM toolset 100 per cent. Unlike the previous CRM toolset, the Investment Placement team is making full use of the Microsoft Dynamics technology. It is benefiting from unique features for capturing leads for new clients and automated RSS feeds. Employees enjoy user-friendly interfaces. The previous problems with Office Outlook synchronisation, client synchronisation, and working offline have been resolved, with employees enjoying the familiar look and feel of Microsoft interfaces. Customisation takes place in-house without need for consultants. Due to the features in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, the Arcapita in-house IT team finds customisation quick and easy, with no need to pay for consultants with specialist IT skills. says: “Previously, our CRM software was extremely rigid and slow to adapt. But now, record duplication detection, for example, is an automated process.” CEO gets overview of investment performance. The Microsoft solution has helped ensure that the CEO has a dashboard providing near real time monitoring of performance.
methodology is far more likely to correct for overuse, misuse, or underuse of attendant care services while treating individuals with similar needs alike. Further, re-assessments with the same instrument are performed at least annually and more frequently in the event of significant changes in condition such as a hospitalization. An individual’s assessment results may naturally change from year to year as health conditions, functional limitations, availability of family or other outside supports, and other key factors change over time. In turn, this may affect the amount, duration, and frequency of ARChoices services, including attendant care, authorized for an individual. The proposed rule is available for review and inspection as follows: (1) at the DHS Division of Medical Services, Office of Policy Coordination and Promulgation, 2nd Floor, Donaghey Plaza South Building, 700 Main Street, P.O. Box 1437, Slot S295, Little Rock, Arkansas 72203-1437; (2) on the Arkansas Medicaid website (), which may be downloaded from the “Proposed Rules for Public Comment” section of the website’s general menu; and (3) in a different format (such as large print) by contacting DHS at (501) 320-6429. All comments must be submitted in writing to DHS, at the above address, or by email to becky.murphy@dhs.arkansas.gov, no later than close of business on July 31, 2018. Public hearings will be held starting at 5:00 PM on: July 9 at NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine, Wilson Hall location on the ASU Campus, 2405 Aggie Rd., Jonesboro, Arkansas; July 11 at Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine, 7000 Chad Colley Blvd., Fort Smith, Arkansas; July 12 at Drew Memorial Hospital, 778 Scoggin Drive, Monticello; Arkansas; July 24 at Hempstead Hall, University of Arkansas at Hope, 2500 South Main St., Hope, Arkansas; and July 26 at Arkansas Enterprises for the Developmentally Disabled, 105 East Roosevelt Road, Little Rock, Arkansas.

Public submissions for the Review to Achieve Educational Excellence in Australian Schools Organisation: ARC Linkage Project Chief Investigators and Partner Investigators Submitting as a: Academic person or institution WA Summary The submission reports and positive student and teacher responses and unexpected but spectacular results for gender equalisation in knowledge and attitude to STEM topics through a modified school curriculum that gives it an Einsteinian science focus. this involves early years introduction of Einsteinian concepts regarding mathematics and geometry, mid years introduction of concepts about light and gravity and relativity of space and time. All this prepares students for later year introduction of more formal learning, and prevents the current cognitive conflict between early year teaching of obsolete 19th Century Newtonian concepts and the science that drives technology today. It is suggested that badging Australia as being in the forefront of curriculum transformation to an Einsteinian focus would be of major national economic benefit. Main submission Submission to the Ministerial Review Committee on the National Curriculum Submitted by Winthrop Professor David Blair on behalf of the Einstein-First education research project funded by the ARC Linkage program. Partners: UWA, Curtin University, Gravity Discovery Centre Foundation This submission was prepared by members of the Australian Research Council funded Einstein-First education research project which is focussed on the need to modernise school science by reconstructing the curriculum around modern Einsteinian science instead of the current curriculum which is almost entirely based on obsolete 19th century physics. We are part of an international Einsteinian Physics Education Research (EPER) Collaboration, involving Norway, Scotland, Germany, Korea, China and Australia.

The summary should indicate, thoroughly and accurately, your progress and the direction of your activities. Your faculty advisor reviews your statement and prepares an independent evaluation of your progress. The Ph.D. Committee reviews both statements and your grades earned during that year; you will be notified if the committee judges that there are any difficulties. If you have been advanced to candidacy, the purpose of the year-end review is to obtain a progress report on your dissertation from you and from the chair of your committee. You will be notified early in spring semester of the schedule and deadlines for submission of the year-end report materials. Failure to submit an end-of-year review may result in probation, suspension, or the Committee’s refusal to readmit you an absence from the program. PHASE II: PRECANDIDACY & THE QUALIFYING EXAM PURPOSE AND CONTENT OF THE QUALIFYING EXAM The purpose of this examination is to appraise your ability to synthesize facts, techniques, and ideas as evidence of your ability to pursue independent investigation. The qualifying examination consists of a two-week written exam of 2-3 essays followed by a comprehensive oral examination before your qualifying examination committee. Copies of previous examination questions, as well as samples of students’ responses, are available in the Architecture Graduate Office. The content of the written examination should be agreed upon by the inside members of the qualifying examination committee at the time of the application for the qualifying examination. The three subjects of the exam shall be agreed to by all five members of the committee and the agreement must be communicated in writing to the student. All parts of the qualifying examination should be completed in
value for money assessed for housing developments? How might councils reduce the costs of and improve value for money in housing developments? In comparing the costs of local authority and private sector-led housing developments it is important to look not just at development costs, but whole of life costs, and to compare like with like. There has been relatively little local authority-led development in recent years, and much of what has been built has been built on infill and other small sites, for reasons explained above. We do not have detailed data on local authority development costs, but it seems likely that, being on smaller and perhaps difficult to access sites, they may be higher than can be achieved building at volume on larger sites with unimpeded access. However, this must be set against the fact that, in most cases, the land comes free as it is already by the local authority and held within the HRA. Local authority borrowing costs are significantly lower than those applying to private investors, and the marginal cost of managing and maintaining additional units on existing estates in likely to be low. In any case, local authority management and maintenance costs have historically been lower, on average, per unit, than those of ALMOs or housing associations, and councils continue to pursue improvements in efficiency to reduce costs and improve value for money.
“Properties” in the next window then click the “Label Symbol” button in the next window, and change the font to Times New Roman Your legend should now be complete. The output should look like this: b. Scale Bar To create the USGS scale bar with metric and English Units, two separate scale bars need to be created with tic marks pointing in opposite directions. Add the first scale bar by choosing Insert/Scale Bar from the main menu, and first choose the scale bar with tics pointing upward. Click “Properties” in the lower right, and in the window that pops up next change the division units to “Miles” or “Feet” for a smaller area. In this window, then click “Symbol” and change the legend symbol text to “Univers 57 Condensed”. If you don’t have this font installed, contact your IT person to have the fonts installed on your machine. Add the second scale bar by going to Insert/Scale Bar again, this time choose the scale bar with tics pointing downward, and in the “Properties” window, make this one English units such as “Miles” or “Feet” The final output should look similar to this. c. Graticule Add labeled latitude and longitude tic marks In the data frame properties, select the “Grids” tab and create a new grid. Choose Graticule as the type of grid to create, and click “Next”. Under appearance, choose “Labels only” and under “Intervals” choose an interval that created at least two (maximum of three) labeled tics on each side of the map (this may take some experimentataion with the interval).
