Sophia Lundy 28.5

This past week’s weather was pretty normal for the second week of June.  There were a few warm, nice days, a rainy day, some showers, and a few cold fronts.  Lake surface temps went up above the 60s even on the main lake in places and then crashed back down into the 50s again after a cold North wind.  Production for walleyes was split just about in half between warm back water areas and main lake spring transition spots.

Even with the variable weather, the walleye production was excellent.  Guide sheets averaged 35 walleyes over 18 in. per boat per day.  For the week we caught and released 65 walleyes over 27 in., including 14 – 28s, 4 – 29s, and 2 – 30s.

Gulp and plastics were responsible for about 1/3 of the catch and minnows and light jigs made up for the rest.  There were a few walleyes caught on the 6 in. Nemesis and some of them were big, but most of the bite came on 3 and 4 in. plastics pulled at speed (1 mph) with ¼ oz. jigs.  Dragging minnows with long lines on 1/8ths is still hard to beat for results when the walleyes are spread out on the warm shallow flats.

Katherine Lundy 28.25

The pike fishing was another story.  There was nothing to concentrate them; no spawn, no weeds, and uniform temps throughout the water column.  There were a few groups that spent time chasing them and the results were modest.  For the week we caught and released 2 – 38s, 2 – 39s, and 2 – 40s.

The story was much the same for the bass.  There were some fish that had moved shallow, but after every little cold front, they went right back down.  We caught a few targeted, but just as many while walleye fishing.  For the week, we caught 13 – 18s and 5 – 19s.

The Take Away:

Spring in the North is always variable.  The walleyes responded more predictably to the weather changes than the bass and pike and then we focused hard on the walleyes.

Dental crown cost in Sydney

Reasons To Get A Dental Crown in Sydney (02) 8090 1105 |

Dental crown cost in SydneyDental crowns are very handy dental appliances.

In fact, as we all age, we are much in need of these devices to maintain a healthy mouth with an attractive appearance.

As any wise consumer would do, however, you should take time to understand why a dental crown is necessary, or even crucial, to your oral health.

Here are some reasons why you should be getting a dental crown and why you should be researching how much does a dental crown cost in Sydney.

Top Three Reasons That Define the Importance of a Dental Crown

Without further ado, here are three reasons that definitely justify the dental crown cost that Sydney residents have to pay for.

1. Crowns protect the teeth

  • Over time, our teeth weaken and become brittle. This is due to exposure to various elements that slowly corrode the enamel of the teeth. Crowns prevent teeth from breaking by providing a secondary level of protection.

2. Teeth last longer with crowns

  • A front tooth crown cost is definitely worth it when your teeth last longer than you expect them to be. This is because the crown takes on the brunt of the action, so to speak, while the tooth is protected underneath.

3. You enjoy life a lot more

  • Last but not the least, having a healthy set of teeth helps you enjoy life more. It’s easier to eat, so you can enjoy your favourite foods without discomfort nor pain.

Furthermore, call your dental insurance provider or the dental clinic of your choice on how much a dental crown cost with insurance as this will help you prepare financially and save a lot more.

So what are you waiting for? Book your consultation now and start down the path of having healthy and strong teeth protected by dental crowns in Sydney.

The Other Side of Infinity

Contributed by
Jan 31, 2006

I just got back from the premier of a new planetarium show "Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity" at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. I worked on the script of this show.

My group at work has grants to do education and public outreach for various astronomical satellites. We gave seed money to director Tom Lucas to create a NOVA show for PBS about black holes. He used that money to get more money from the National Science Foundation, and he used that to make a planetarium show. Since I dabble in writing, I helped edit the script and check it for scientific accuracy.

It was great fun working on a real planetarium show, especially this one. The graphics are truly amazing. I have never seen anything so cool! A few months ago I flew to Denver to see the show as it was at that time. There was a scene which talks about the Sun, and then cuts to black holes. I said we needed to put a red supergiant in there, to segue from stars like the Sun to ones that can explode (the idea that the Sun will explode at the end of its life is a common misconception, and one I didn't want to promulgate... hmmm, maybe I should write a page about that). So they did, and the scene totally rocks. You see the Sun, embedded in a 3D grid representing space-time (I took a couple of pictures during the show which is why they're not high quality):

Then the scene backs off from the Sun, and an enormous red supergiant rises below it:

This was one of the most compelling scenes visually in the show. It was really tremendous. In the final scene, we fall into a black hole, which was also great. The effects are stunning.

But of course, the very bestest part came up in the credits:

That's the first time I've ever had a credit like that! Woohoo!

The show premiers for the public on February 10, and we hope to have it going to other planetaria around the country and the world very soon.'

Getting Valentines Day Ready: Pamper Day with Hempz + Kiss Lashes + Chit Chat

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

So today is a bit of a different post because its a review/chat chat so I am writing it as it comes to me literally.  Valentines Day is such an iffy day for so many people those that are dating are so excited about it some people that are single hate it and a lot of married couples surprisingly are even more over this day because they feel its so commercialised and like Christmas its a way for businesses to make some extra money. I personally think that valentines is what you want it to be, despite its not been as talked about this year because January was so incredibly boring I am kind of in between on the subject. But what I do love about Valentines Day is Pamper Evenings.

Recently I put a face mask on lit a candle run the bath and decided to use some Hempz Skincare Products that were kindly sent over to me.* If you follow me on Instagram you can see I have been having alot of nigh in's and apart from takeaway and my favourite series I have been getting down to some good old pampering.

So I've been using the Pomegranate Moisturising Body Wash non stop it smells amazing and it been leaving my skin so soft. Its quite new for me to use a body wash with pomegranate but it sure does smell good. It has a sweet smell and the contents are pink also. The Hemps Moisturising Lip Balm smells lovely to and I have been applying it on my lips every night even when I'm not having a pamper evening because this winter has left my lips so dry and I have been using lip balms all the time. I've got like 2 that don't leave my bag because my lips just chap while wearing lipstick. The only product that my lips have been fine with are the Nyx Lip Creams. Also in terms of the lip balm its really thick and a little goes a long way. It reminds me of the Dr Paw Paw Balms. So the moisturising body wash retails for £16.99 and the tube is a lot,the Lip Balm retails for £7.99 and because that's really thick it will last you ages to. All products are Paraben-Free, Vegan-friendly and made with 100% hemp seed oil. Hemp seed oil is rich in vitamin E, C, B1, B2, B3 and B6, which are all essential in maintaining healthy and younger looking skin and hair.

 And for those that love to get out and paint the town red instead lashes are just a must for valentines day. And the lashes I plan to wear is  Little Black Dress by Kiss their not to overstated but their just feminine enough to make your eyeshadow pop. As I am writing this post I am thinking of how I am going to do my makeup for this evening. While everyone is deciding on red or nude I'm over here deciding on classic red, brick red, orange red yes I own quite a lot of types of red. But I think in my heart of hearts I know which one I'm going to pick.

Heels is a must despite I feel like being comfortable tonight and I might actually curl my hair. But what I intend to do is purely based on what I like and what I feel comfortable with. Despite I am going to dress up for my man the reality is if you are going to do all of that and you have no love for yourself then whats the point. And by love yourself I don't been that ott a million selfies, self indulgent snob type of love. I mean love yourself despite your thin or a bit thicker you've got freckles, spots your nose is flat or it may be pointed. Love yourself and love the people in your life that love you, and please for goodness sake don't make this a day where you bring out the wine and throw yourself a pity party.

One of the terms that have been popular of late is "Galentines" I use to hate that term so much until I understood what it meant which is to spend time with your lady friends single or not. Now looking back at it I celebrated Galentines alot when single going out to eat with my friends or staying in and watching a film and getting a takeaway. Those times were some fun times and we had some really good laughs and a few of us had some honest cries. Because the truth is it is sometimes hard waiting for that someone to come into your life or you could even be still healing from a bad breakup.

What I would say is not to make one single day dictate your joy or lack there of and enjoy this day like any other to the fullest. Spend times with the ones you love, get your favourite meal and have a Happy Valentines/Galentines Day.

  1. I love to try out Pomegranate Moisturising Body Wash since you mentioned the smell is awesome. I love pink color since the content is pink. I can't remember how pomegranate smell like but don't mind giving it a go as I know it is antioxidant!

  2. Me and my boyfriend don't celebrate Valentine's day because of what you said, we feel is too comercial, we love each other everyday and we have dates all the time. I think self care and loving yourself is very important as well, but the struggle is real when you see other people on instagram having the time of their life but sometimes this is a posed pic. As for "Galentines", I love it! In Mexico, we don't call it Valentine's day but "the day of love and friendship".

  3. I still having tried wearing eyelashes. Whenever I see it on people, it seems so obvious they are not real. I guess I am missing the ones who are wearing it and it looks like their own. The ones you suggested look much softer than what I am use to seeing but I would definitely need help with applying them.

    1. To be totally honest I struggle a lot with applying lashes but I prefer natural ones like these because they look feminine and not overstated that you will tell that their false. I’ve got a photo on my Instagram.

  4. Pomegranate is one of my favorite scents it usually it’s overwhelming and I like that. I’ve never tried wearing eyelashes because you can tell they aren’t real even though they look nice on some women.

  5. These look some great choices, Wondering about pomegranate moisturizing body wash scent, sounds lovel.

  6. Those lashes look super flirty and cute for valentines! Pomegranate body wash must smell amazing too!

  7. I love those lashes! They are so feminine and flirty, and the look very natural! I love that they are no clumpy, or too thick.
    I agree that Valentine's is very commercialized. My hubby and I just went to Chick-Fil-A and watched Netflix! LOL.

  8. Oh, I really love those long lashes. It seems so chic. I haven't tried using fake lashes and this brand is worth to try.

  9. That wash sounds amazing! It's pretty too! I love celebrating my 'gals' around this time too!

  10. What a fun way to spend Valentine's Day, pampering yourself for your man. I hope you had a great day!

  11. I don't understand what Galentine is until I checked it up, so it's Gals + Valentines? Interesting, because it hasn't got to Singapore yet. Happy Valentine's Day to you too!

  12. I love anything with Pomegranates, they are rich in antioxidants and great for the skin. It is great that the body wash and lip balm smell amazing.

Not Sure How to Get Your Children Behaving Better? Use These Tips!

Not Sure How to Get Your Children Behaving Better? Use These Tips!

Every parent deals with behavioral issues in their children at some point. But, you can turn that around! Use these tips to get your children behaving better.

Has your child been having some behavioral problems recently?

No doubt your patience is wearing thin. When they’re acting out and talking back, it can feel like you’re at your wit’s end. It can feel as if there’s nothing you can do to change their attitude.

Maybe it’s time to change your disciplinary tactics.

Don’t just keep reprimanding them until you’re blue in the face. Instead, learn some thoughtful new methods that will be more effective.

It doesn’t matter if your child has behavioral problems or is even-tempered. Finding more healthy ways to communicate with them is always a great idea.

Every parent deals with behavioral issues in their kids at some point. But, you can turn that around! Use these tips to get your children behaving better.

Replace Control with Guidance

Some children with behavioral issues act out because they sense that they are being controlled. You might often find yourself saying, “it’s like I tell them to do one thing, and they do the exact opposite.” You’re not imagining it.

Instead of giving commands that invite opposition, try framing requests as guidance.

For example, “go brush your teeth” is a demand. Something they can easily scream “no” to.

Try, “what do you need to do this morning so your breathe’s not stinky?” This is making it a conversation. It shows them why they should do something, while still giving them the feeling of having a say in it.

This is a great tactic to use on a daily basis, but it won’t always eliminate fights altogether. When that does happen, take a breathe.

Take a Breathe and Don’t Jump to Conclusions

Are your kids in the midst of a screaming match? Before jumping to an emotional reaction, center yourself and take a breath.

Of course, it’s easier said than done. But, when trying to discipline a child it’s important not to be too emotionally reactive.

Try to step outside your own frustration and assess the situation. Don’t jump to any conclusions. Instead of instinctively blaming the sibling with behavioral problems, get to the bottom of what happened.

If they know you think of them as a bad kid, they will start meeting those expectations, both consciously and subconsciously.

One way to show your child that you don’t think of them as a “bad kid” is to recognize when they make a good choice.

Recognize When They Make the Right Choice

When a child hits their sibling, they get a ton of attention from you. It’s not positive, but that doesn’t matter. The times they choose not to hit them, they don’t get any attention.

Next time you notice your child making the right choice, let them know they did a good job.

Did you tell them they can’t have more ice cream and they didn’t throw their usual tantrum? Let them know you appreciate how mature they were about it.

Soon they will start to associate calm and respectful behavior with positive outcomes. After a particularly good week, you can reward them. One idea is to give them a token for their good behavior from

This is a great way to keep things positive.

Tell Them What They Can Do Instead of Can’t

Another way is to emphasize what kids are allowed to do instead of what they aren’t.

This method is especially helpful with small children and toddlers. When they do something wrong, like biting, a finite “no” often doesn’t cut it.

For one, just saying no can come off as a game to them. They realize that every time they do a certain action, it gets the same response.

Another reason is that it doesn’t address the motivation behind the behavior. Get to the bottom of why they were acting out like that.

Were they biting because they were frustrated? Explain that it’s okay to be frustrated, but biting isn’t appropriate. However, they can let out their frustration by banging on their drum playset.

This teaches them to manage their emotions in more productive ways.

Sometimes. In the end, kids will be kids. When they do inevitably mess up, don’t load too much guilt on them.

Don’t Shame Them for Making Mistakes

Everyone, young and old, makes mistakes. But, as we’ve all heard, the important thing is that you learn from them.

READ  The Top 5 Reasons Teens Engage in Underage Drinking

One way for kids to learn from their mistakes is to talk about it. But, if you make them feel ashamed for what they’ve done, it might discourage them.

There’s a difference between consequences and shaming. Going home early from the park because they threw sand at another child is a consequence. Telling them how bad they were on the ride home is shaming them.

Need something else to talk about in the car?

Tell them about a mistake you made at work recently. Talk about the consequences and what you learned from it. Then ask them what they learned from the mistake they made.

These kinds of one-on-one conversations are always positive. Make it a priority by setting aside regular time for them.

Set Aside One-on-One Time

One of the major reasons why kids act out is because they want attention. It might help their behavior if you start scheduling one-on-one time with your child.

That time doesn’t always have to be some elaborate outing. Just 10 or 15 minutes of regular, individual attention will work wonders.

This is especially important if you have more than one child. Each child needs to feel that you see them and care about them. It will help their self-esteem and show how much you love them.

When kids have confidence and positive attention, they have much fewer reasons to act out.

Children behaving badly is not a new concept. There’s going to be behavioral growing pains at every stage of their development. However, the way you react to it can keep it from escalating.

Panel Presentations

Sometimes, a panel presentation is the best way to cover a legal topic. If you are participating in a panel, you have the support of your peers during the presentation and additional shoulders to bear the burden of preparing materials. This can be a good way to break up a complex topic into complementary pieces. But be careful – a panel presentation can be distracting or lack focus, depending on the topic and on whether the panel-members have coordinated with each other.

A panel presentation is also a good format for having Q&A time from the audience and to allow several speakers to share their own experiences with the same topic. TBA recommends panels of two to three presenters with a moderator. Panelists should represent various perspectives and experiences. All panels should factor diversity of the bar.

Planning a Panel Presentation

If you are planning a panel presentation, you should consider whether your topic lends itself to a panel presentation. Consult with TBA staff if you have concerns. Similarly, consider the time allocations. For example, if you are asked to plan a one-hour panel presentation and you ask three panelists, this only allows for 20 minutes per panelist for their total contribution. If you are asking well-known speakers or experts to participate, consider that the audience may want to hear from them more than the allocated time. You would not want to take away from another speaker’s time. You may consider a panel of two speakers in this case.

Plan a call with all panelists well before the presentation to cover what topics each panelist will address, in what order, and time limitations. At a minimum, put together an outline of the presentation for program materials, with bullet points for each presenter and that presenter’s content. If you are planning a Q&A session, you should talk about the types of questions in advance and address on the call who will answer which question – with the goal being each panelist having a chance to respond to the audience.

If you want to engage the audience, you may have them ask questions directly. Even so, you should still prepare questions in advance to supplement the audience questions, just in case the audience is quiet. TBA recommends panels of two to three presenters with a moderator.

Moderating a Panel Presentation

If you are asked to moderate a panel presentation, please consider the guidance provided in “Planning a Panel Presentation” (above). Likewise, we strongly suggest that a call is organized prior to the presentation to outline the goals of the presentation and participation of each panelist. Make sure you know your panelists and your audience.

Introductions are important, but long introductions are not necessary and can take away from the presentation. Therefore, please do not read entire biographies. Biographies of the panelists should be included in the program materials for you to refer to. An appropriate introduction for a panel presentation includes a brief introduction of the moderator and panelists, as well as an introduction to the goals and learning objectives of the presentation. Learning objectives are outcome statements that tell the learner what knowledge or skills they will attain from your presentation. See “Choosing Your Teaching Style/Tips for ALL Styles” above.

As the moderator, you are also the timekeeper. You will need to keep the panelists on track and redirect the presentation if one panelist or an audience member shifts the discussion away too far from the program outline and goals. Be prepared to step in for a panelist who cancels or arrives late.

Arrive early to the program to meet with each panelist before the program. If you plan to participate in the content delivery outside of moderating, consider whom this will impact and the time allocations for each panelist, and make sure that is included in the outline. If you are helping to field audience questions, make sure you repeat them for the panelists and summarize long-winded questions. This will also help later viewers of videotaped programs understand the questions. But above all, be respectful, even with simple or irrelevant questions.

Participating on a Panel

If you are asked to participate in a panel presentation, find out about the program, the topic you are asked to speak on, time allocations and about the audience – before you accept. If a group call is not planned, ask for one to be scheduled far in advance of the program.

Nicholas Walker - ESL Teacher, Writer and Website Designer

app designer canada writer Dec 11, 2016

Nicholas Walker is a fellow Canadian who has successfully used his experience as an ESL teacher to write books and design and develop a website to help students improve their writing.  Find out how Nicholas reduced his marking time significantly by developing a website called the Virtual Writing Tutor.

Could you start off by telling us where you teach?

I teach English as a Second Language at Ahuntsic College in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is the largest publically funded French language CEGEP in Montreal. We have a student population of about 10, 000 students in a range of pre-university and vocational programs.

Could explain a little about the CEGEP system for our readers?

Sure. Quebec does things a little differently from the other provinces in Canada. Students graduate high school at the end of grade eleven here. After that, they have a choice of going to either an English or French junior college, called CEGEPs. Most are publically funded and offer a range of two-year pre-university programs that comprise grade 12 and grade 13, or three-year vocational programs that provide certification in a variety of fields. In either option, students must take two 15-week English Second Language courses at one of four levels. Our courses are competency-based, meaning that to pass students must be able to perform a complex task set by the teacher by the end of the course.  Teachers in our department are largely free to design the tasks ourselves.

The first course is a general four-skill course at either the false-beginner, low-intermediate, high-intermediate, or advanced level. Students are placed in each of the four levels based on their results on an online placement test given before classes begin and then an interview with a writing sample done on the first day of classes.

The second course—also a four-skill course—picks up where the last course left off but trains students to use English linked to their field of study. As you can imagine, having over 80 programs at our college makes this field-related requirement a considerable challenge to teachers in our department, especially since each class can have students from up to a dozen different programs.

How long have you been teaching?

I have been teaching ESL since I was 18, when I tutored a Japanese exchange student twice a week, but I strayed into other things for a while. I really started teaching English full-time ten years later in 1997, when my twin brother Simon called me from South Korea to offer me a job teaching at Han Mi Foreign Language Institute in Taejon. I had just graduated with a B.A. in English Literature, and I was barely scraping by painting apartments. At the time, I was keen on Chinese poetry (in translation) and thought that Korea would satisfy my curiosity about all things Asian. My parents loaned me enough for the airfare, and I moved to Korea. I hated it at first—so smoggy and congested with little resemblance to the Chinese landscape paintings I had admired with a bent little old man crouched over a fishing pole with the pine trees and misty mountains towering above. But I enjoyed classroom teaching once I got the hang of it. I eventually discovered the idyllic scenes I had craved, but by then I was hooked on city living and teaching EFL.

I taught in Taejon for two years, travelled (literally) around the world, settled in British Columbia, went broke, moved back to Montreal, sold insurance, got a TESL Certificate from Concordia University, got married, moved back to Korea, taught another three years in Kwangju and Chunchon, and then returned again to Montreal to do a Master’s in Applied Linguistics, with a thesis in focused on Computer Assisted Language Learning and Healthcare communication.

In 2008, while I was still working on my thesis, I started teaching part-time at Ahuntsic College. After eight years of teaching night courses and partial day-time teaching loads, this September I was granted tenure.  It took 18 years to get to this point, but I am happy I stuck it out. I love teaching ESL to college students.

Can you describe a typical teaching day?

My classes are pretty full, so in order for me to stay under the maximum threshold for full-time teachers, the department could only give me four classes this semester, instead of the usual five. Mondays and Fridays are what we call non-teaching days, on which I can stay home and grade or prepare or work on department and personal projects. On Tuesdays, I start at 8 a.m. and teach a 3-hour low-intermediate course with two hours in the classroom and one hour in a computer lab. I get an hour break, and then I teach a field-related false beginner group for three hours, again two hours in the classroom and one hour in the lab. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I teach the same false-beginner course to two other groups. I teach twelve hours a week, and offer four office hours for students who might want to drop by. The rest of my time is spent preparing lessons and providing corrective feedback.

My colleagues sometimes complain about how much correction work they have to do. I used to, but now I don’t. I do things a little differently than they do. In the past, I used to hunch over a pile of tests and writing assignments developing a correction hump and a foul mood. Now, I have my students do reading, listening and grammar test on my Moodle website I also get them to submit 100-300 words a week on, but rather than printing them out and marking them up with a red pen, I ask them to use my website to check their texts for errors, and I respond with a simple rubric indicating whether they have eliminated their errors and used that week’s target structure correctly or not.

While my colleagues are circling and correcting students’ errors by hand, I look at my students’ submitted texts to see which errors the Virtual Writing Tutor has not caught, and then I write new error detection rules for the Virtual Writing Tutor. There are two advantages to my method:

With traditional red-pen correction, it takes about 10 minutes per student. Times that by 150 student essays and that is about 25 hours. Teacher can’t sustain that amount of correction every week, so they take two weeks to return essays and only assign two or three essays per semester. In many cases, students ignore the corrections, look straight at the grade and toss the paper aside. For those students, all of that correction time was wasted. There are ways to get students to attend to corrections, like offering additional points for final drafts, but that adds even more time to teachers’ correction load, a negative incentive to teachers who want students to get more writing practice.

What I do, instead, is I devote a minimum of 10 hours each week to writing new error detection rules for the Virtual Writing Tutor. Since the Virtual Writing Tutor never forgets an error detection rule, each week, the system is able to catch more and more common errors in my students’ writing.  My approach snowballs.

The second advantage is that my students are hopefully familiar enough with by the end of my course that when it comes time in the future to write in English, they will have a free spelling and grammar checker that they can turn to for help with their writing. In contrast, my colleagues’ students will not be able to email their English writing to the teacher at the desk next to me to correct. He is simply too busy with his current correction load to offer the same correction service to all of his past students.

What do you do in your spare time to relax?

My wife and I have a ten-year-old and a four-year-old. All of our free time is given to them. After they have gone to bed, I watch a bit of Netflix and then listen to The History of English Podcast or CBC’s Quirks and Quarks.

What are your plans for the Virtual Writing Tutor?

Currently, I am working with a very talented programmer in Kolkota, India. He is working on an extensive overhaul of the Virtual Writing Tutor, using the Backbone.js framework. The goal is to make it more beautiful and more powerful than ever. I am hoping to launch Phase One by Christmas.

We have some exciting new tools in the works. I’ll quickly run through them so your readers get an advanced peek at what’s coming. In addition to the contextual spelling checker and grammar checker buttons, the system will have additional buttons for the following cool tools:

  • a paraphrase checker that compares your text to the text you paraphrased and shows which sentences are too close to the original.  This is my favorite. I think it will help many students avoid inadvertent plagiarism.
  • an academic vocabulary checker that will identify all academic and conversational vocabulary in the text you submit.
  • a field-related vocabulary checker to identify words related to a range of fields of study. So if your teacher asks for a text with 10 or more words related to your field of study, this tool will find them for you and point you to glossaries where you can find more.
  • a cliché checker, to find all the clichés in your text.
  • a text sophistication checker to check readability.
  • a target vocabulary checker. If your teacher asks you to use, let’s say, transition words, this tool will find them for you.
  • a word counter that counts your words and sentences, and measures sentence length.
  • a text downloader that converts your text into .doc file.
  • an essay outliner, to guide learners in the creation of outlines.
  • a text-to-speech system that will help you pronounce your text
  • and a speech-recognition system so that you can speak your text onto the webpage, practicing your pronunciation before checking for grammar errors.

As usual, the website will remain free to use.

All of these new features sound expensive to develop. Will the new version rely on advertisements to pay for these upgrades?

No. There is very little money to be made in running ads on a website like mine.  I started showing ads in the spring for Grammarly, a competing grammar checker service. I get $0.20 each time someone clicks the ad, and I have made less than $10 in 6 months. If you notice, I also invite users to try a different grammar checker with a link to an embedded version of the Grammarly service. When users see the feedback generated by that grammar checker they are invited to buy a subscription. It pays $20 per sale. I make about $50 a month from those referrals. That may sound good to some, but considering I pay nearly $4000 a year to maintain the server that hosts and, the extra $600 year of income is not very much.

I intend on displaying a few ads for some hand-picked online courses and other products that will truly help learners develop their English skills. I am a teacher, and my mission is to help people learn English. So, if you know teacherpreneurs who would like to run a tasteful affiliate advertisements on the Virtual Writing Tutor, ask them to contact me at [email protected]

Eventually, we will offer an ad-free version with extra perks for users who want to subscribe for a couple of dollars each month, but I don’t expect to make much money from that. The is really a free extension to my textbooks. If it generates interest in my textbooks, I’ll be happy. If it helps to pay its own way with a few affiliate sales and pro-version subscriptions, I’ll be happy also.

Could you talk a little about your books?

I would be delighted to. I currently sell three college level textbooks: Actively Engaged at College, Actively Engaged on the Job, and Actively Engaged Online. They target the first course at the low-intermediate level, the field-related false-beginner course and the field-related low-intermediate course, respectively.

I got into publishing my own books because of my frustration with the ESL course books that were on offer at the time by the big publishers here in Quebec. What frustrated me most was that there was a heavy focus on teaching grammar, but the listening, reading, writing and speaking tasks had little or nothing to do with grammar lessons. Any connection between the skills and the grammar was superficial at best.  Instead, the listenings and readings were all news-type articles on a range of human interest or current affairs issues. I found them to be unstructured rambling pieces full of journalese. More troubling was that they did not serve as a model for any of the writing tasks. I got the sense that publishers believed languages are best learned by studying grammar, reading and listening to news items and then answering comprehension questions, talking about controversial topics and writing essays. That’s a terrible way to learn English, in my opinion.

The courses I ended up teaching with these textbooks lacked all cohesion and seemed like very inefficient ways to teach English. I became very disillusioned and depressed about college-level ESL. One day, while I was riding the bus home from work, I asked myself, “Why am I teaching non-fluent students how to debate and write persuasive essays?” It was a simple question. At the time, I thought the government objectives required debates and essays but they didn’t. I checked. The objectives merely called for structured, college-level tasks. This innocent question started a long process of reflection.

To begin with, Applied Linguistics teaches us that a second language is best learned through the repeated exchange of meaningful messages with a focus on target structures. Business communication research has found that middle managers in American corporations always used narratives to persuade their colleagues, not arguments. Other research shows how non-fluent learners lose integrative motivation in classrooms where the teacher over-emphasize formal registers. I have read that the least motivating topics in a conversation class have been found to be those that pushed students to take opposing points of view, making them feel cut-off and isolated from the group when they have to defend their opinions from others. However, topics involving interpersonal drama and personal growth have been found to be the most motivating.

Furthermore, specific narrative functions can elicit specific grammar structures. Asking students to describe a routine elicits adverbs of frequency and the Present Simple. Asking students to describe a bad day elicits the Simple Past and sentences with while and when. Complaints, advice, physical description could all elicit specific target structures.

The real breakthrough for me was realizing that threading them together into a fictional narrative framework in which students worked together to decide the details of a story each week with me providing just-in-time instruction would make it possible to structure a very cohesive grammar course in which all of the grammar, vocabulary, practice conversations, listenings and reading could be woven together into a satisfying whole. The solution to my problem of incoherent ESL courses, I realized, was to get students to work in groups to develop a narrative loaded with drama.

Of course, there was no textbook for that. I had to create one. I hired an illustrator, a ghost writer, and got into Moodle hosting. Four years later with lots of hard work and learning, I have three books that make teaching college-level ESL a joy. My books sell at four colleges in Quebec, and a loyal gang of teachers keep ordering them for their students. The income generated by the sale of these books has funded the development of the Virtual Writing Tutor.

Can you talk a bit about the content?

Sure. Actively Engaged Online is a little different from the other two, so I’ll describe it after. I’ll start instead by describing Actively Engaged on the Job.  It is designed to facilitate thirteen weeks of instruction with two weeks of testing at the end, to make a fifteen week semester.  There is a companion website preloaded with activities, tests, assignments, and PowerPoint lessons. The teacher is free to modify the PowerPoints as he or she pleases. Each lesson in the textbook comes with a card game and other speaking activities that provide highly repetitive meaningful practice with a target structures. The first three lessons get the students used to group work and a cooperative routine, but the main project in the book begins in lesson four. That’s when things get really interesting.

It is in lesson four that students get into groups and imagine a shared workplace. Each student then invents an unusual character, and each character is given a job in that imagined workplace. That’s section one of the story. For homework, each student goes home and writes the story from the perspective of their character. They then use the Virtual Writing Tutor to correct all of their errors before submitting it to, the companion website to the course. In class the next week, each student in the group reads his or her text to the group aloud before they get to work on the next section of the story. This pattern repeats for all seven sections of the story. In section two, the students describe their character’s physical appearance and background. In section three, each character describes his or her daily routine. In section four, each character has a dream in which he or she dreams about is or her greatest fear or desire. In section five, each character has a disastrous day in which an office rival announce a rumour of an impending lay-off. In section six, each character has a performance review interview with the boss, in which the boss asks for advice on who to fire and why. In section seven, the boss calls a general meeting in the conference room and announces who will be laid-off. In the ensuing chaos, someone is punched and someone is kissed. The final competency evaluation asks the students to recall the events of the story orally and in writing as a statement given at the police station.

Actively Engaged at College follows the same pattern but instead of characters in a shared workplace, the students invent a story about roommates living together in a shared house. Being a low-intermediate level course, the sections are longer and focus on more advanced grammar difficulties.

Actively Engaged Online follows a different pattern. Students set up their own blogs online. Instead of sections of a story, they create blogposts, video tutorials, and a hypertext narrative.

Where can teachers and students purchase your book?

You can buy copies online from

So, please let your readers know that if anyone is interested in learning more about my textbooks, they should contact me via the Virtual Writing Tutor or I would be very happy to send them an evaluation copy and explain how they can get the same results.

Do you have any plans for a second book or other resource?

Not yet. I am thinking about a book for beginners, but I haven’t started it yet.

What skills did you gain from classroom teaching that have allowed you to excel as a teacherpreneur?

Teaching in South Korea, working night and day to create engaging activities for my courses gave me the discipline to churn out activities here. Everything I have learned has been in reaction to a dissatisfaction with my courses. It is the itch that produces the pearl in oysters.

What advice would you give to teachers who are considering writing a book or resource?

I strongly recommend creating an account on There you can hire programmers, desktop publishing experts, illustrators, writer and researchers to help you with the tasks that you need help with. Be unreasonable with yourself. Set big goals and go for it. Beware of partnerships. If you insist on having a partner, tell yourself from the beginning that the partnership is temporary. It will remind you to put safeguards in place in case your partner tries to do less and take more than you. If the partnership works out, great. If not, you were warned.

Thank you so much Nicholas. I hope to meet you at TESL Canada in June 2017.

Does your team look motivated and full of smiles on a Monday morning - or do they feel a little sluggish and stressed about the week ahead? To provide your staff with a working environment that they are happy and willing to be a part of five days a week, there are many ways that you, as an employer or manager, can help.

Boosting productivity and reducing the stress placed on your team can be easily achieved and maintained in just a few simple changes to your office culture. Establishing cultivated procedures will do wonders for the atmosphere and mood in your office.

First and foremost, one of the best ways to bring your team together with unison and enthusiasm is with team building events. All across the UK, there are teams just like yours, looking for a rejuvenating experience that will encourage department collaboration and teamwork.

However, for many businesses, it isn't always feasible to schedule and organise team building events on a monthly or quarterly basis. That being said, there are still a number of things you can do that will lead to your team loving Monday's just as much as they do Friday's.

  • Trust your staff, and give them new areas of responsibility. This not only allows them to grow and develop confidence, but it also makes them feel appreciated and less stagnant within their role
  • Keep staff in the know. Share important news - good or bad, and they will feel like a valued part of the team

  • Encourage staff to take ownership and responsibility. Not only will they take pride in their work but they will work harder to ensure it
  • Treat your employees like adults, be respectful and straightforward with them if you have any causes for concern
  • Be the boss. You can be a friend and encourage open communication, but ultimately you are the boss and at times need staff to respect that. Consistency is key!
  • Keep your staff engaged by allowing opportunities for training and development. Personal development is an important area for motivation!

  • Money isn't everything. While salary negotiations are critical at the interview stage, remuneration isn't half as important as a flexible and friendly working environment
  • Be as flexible as you can. Allow working from home where possible, consider flexi-hours for those that need it most and work towards a situation that is beneficial for both parties
  • Allow individuality to shine through. While some offices call for a stricter dress code, many others don't.
  • Set appropriate guidelines but don't stifle the personality in your team

Incorporating these important elements of a successful working culture into your daily office life isn't hard, but the results garnered will be positive for all involved. With a workforce that is happy and motivated instead of gloomy and stressed, you will soon see progress throughout the entire business.

To kick-start your journey to ‘Motivational Monday's', feel free to contact Team Challenge Company to arrange team building activities around the UK.

Our team of expert event organisers will work with you to ensure your business gets exactly what it needs.

Team Building with Shell at Woodbank

Posted: Feb 06 2012

Comments: 3 Comments

The Ice breaking challenge of the day  was the Travelball challenge, where teams showed huge excitement and potential throughout the Team Building task, particularly when  trying to bend the rules ..!  The Force played their first joker card right from the off but alas came last in Travelball so not a great call but maybe it was tactics - plenty of thinkers but alas not many  athletes? Next up it was  performance time at Boomwhackers, and the teams gathered in their function suite to watch all 3 teams perform their Boomwhacker Challenge  to rapturous applause. It was a tough decision, as each and every team performed really well – but no calls from Britain’s got Talent as yet !. Five Alive won Boomwhackers and doubled up their points but was it enough ?

Though there could only be one winning team on the day and walk away with the Team Challenge cup, which was eventually awarded to Five Alive with an awesome 6850 points! Meanwhile Norfolk N Good came a respectable sencond with 6100 points and The Force brought up the rear with 5000 points. A big shout out to Ros who put in a lot of organising effort into the day along with Stewart and Tricia - hope to see you all again for the rematch.

Corporate Treasure Hunt

The best thing about this page is all the information is totally up to date and there is no false statements in this post

This is impressive post, I think making group of three and provide different challenging work to all the team is nice strategy. In this post there are some points are really impressive and I thought we need to implement this in our life.

A very great privilege to work with the Shell Team at the excellent Woodbank in Aberdeen - it was definately game on from the off - I should have known it would be competitive during the introductions with those oh so competitive nicknames ! ! The teams were a real pleasure to work with throughout the day and despite everyone cracking up at the scrambled egg event all teams rose to the challenge to deliver great results - we won't mention some of the teams obsessions with fishing - but next time we will definately include more sticks to tape together - just in case ! A big shout out to Ros , Stewart and Tricia for all their hard working leading up to and on the day itself and of course for Stewart for carrying the winners trophy home ! Hope to work with you all again soon. Stephen

A portable electronic apparatus records electromyographic (EMG) signals in as many as 16 channels at a sampling rate of 1,024 Hz in each channel. The apparatus (see figure) includes 16 differential EMG electrodes (each electrode corresponding to one channel) with cables and attachment hardware, reference electrodes, an input/output-and-power-adapter unit, a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter, and a hand-held computer that contains a removable 256-MB flash memory card. When all 16 EMG electrodes are in use, full-bandwidth data can be recorded in each channel for as long as 8 hours. The apparatus is powered by a battery and is small enough that it can be carried in a waist pouch.

The computer is equipped with a small screen that can be used to display the incoming signals on each channel. Amplitude and time adjustments of this display can be made easily by use of touch buttons on the screen. The user can also set up a data-acquisition schedule to conform to experimental protocols or to manage battery energy and memory efficiently.

This Portable Electromyograph can record signals from as many as 16 differential EMG electrodes. The overall mass of the equipment is 1.1 kg. A wireless version of this device is scheduled for release in the near future.

Once the EMG data have been recorded, the flash memory card is removed from the EMG apparatus and placed in a flash-memory- card-reading external drive unit connected to a personal computer (PC). The PC can then read the data recorded in the 16 channels. Preferably, before further analysis, the data should be stored in the hard drive of the PC. The data files are opened and viewed on the PC by use of special- purpose software.

The software for operation of the apparatus resides in a random-access memory (RAM), with backup power supplied by a small internal lithium cell. A backup copy of this software resides on the flash memory card. In the event of loss of both main and backup battery power and consequent loss of this software, the backup copy can be used to restore the RAM copy after power has been restored.

Accessories for this device are also available. These include goniometers, accelerometers, foot switches, and force gauges.

• 24.3MP
  • Noise under control
  • AF Range control
  • Articulating screen

  • AF slower than rivals'
  • Poor non-cross type AF
  • Object Tracking mode is limited

After a four-year wait, Sony has brought out a replacement to the full-frame Alpha a900 camera, the 24.3MP Sony Alpha a99.

Unlike the Sony a900, which was a DSLR, the Sony a99 is a DSLT, or Digital Single Lens Translucent camera. This means that instead of having a mirror that flips up to enable the exposure to take place, the Sony Alpha a99 has a fixed translucent (or transmissive) mirror that allows 70% of the light reaching it to pass through and onto the imaging sensor.

It also means that 30% of the light is reflected onto the camera's phase detection AF sensor - enabling fast focusing during live view use and video, recording as well as faster than normal continuous shooting rates.

Sony Alpha a99 review

As a full-frame camera, the 24.3MP Sony Alpha a99 has a sensor that measures 24 x 36mm (0.9 x 1.4 inches) - the same size as a 35mm film frame.

However, it is still compatible with Sony's DT lenses that are designed for use on its APS-C format DSLTs and DSLRs, automatically cropping to the smaller frame.

Sony has reduced the thickness of the sensor construction to reduce shading of the photo diode to boost the image signal and reduce noise levels. This could be important in a camera that only transmits 70% of the light entering the lens to the sensor.

Sony Alpha a99 review

The company has also employed a multi-segment optical low pass filter from its broadcasting cameras to help maintain resolution while reducing moiré patterning.

This sensor is coupled with a new Bionz processing engine for faster processing of 14-bit raw files.

Interestingly, the Sony Alpha a99 actually uses two AF sensors, one in the usual location above the mirror-box with 19 AF points (11-cross type) and the other with 102 points over the image sensor itself.

Sony Alpha a99 review

Only the 19 points on the first sensor are user selectable - the remainder are support AF points that help with tracking moving subjects. It sounds very promising, but with less light reaching either sensor than with a DSLR, it will be interesting to see how the system performs.

Another consequence of using Sony's Translucent Mirror Technology (TMT) is that the viewfinder is electronic, since an optical finder would be very dim. For some this could be a deal-breaker, but the unit inside the Sony Alpha a99 is an OLED Tru-Finder with 2,359,000 dots, and it covers 100% of the frame.

There's no built-in flash, but there's a new Multi Interface Shoe, which has a standardised design rather than Sony's usual proprietary shape, making it compatible with a wide range of flashguns and accessories.

Sony Alpha a99 review

Owners of older Sony and Minolta flashguns will have to buy an adaptor to mount them on the Sony Alpha a99.

Other niceties include built-in GPS technology to tag images with location data as they are shot, and audio in and out ports for sound recording and monitoring during video.

Videos can be recorded at Full HD and can be started from any exposure mode. However, if you want to set particular shutter speed and aperture values, the camera needs to be in Video mode. Serious video shooters will love the peaking feature for manual focus that indicates the areas of sharp focus.

The Sony Alpha a99 has a full retail price of £2,299/AU$2,999/US$2,799.99, so it isn't cheap.

Microsoft Band 2 vs Microsoft Band: what's changed?

New Microsoft Band

The Microsoft Band 2 looks better then ever on paper but how does it compare to the first-gen Microsoft Band?

There was a lot of griping about the older wearable so it should be interesting to see if Microsoft listened to the complaints and made improvements.

The review of the new Band is finished so I decided to update this comparison of the two sensor packed fitness trackers so you can better see what's changed for the better.

Microsoft Band 2 vs Microsoft Band: Design

Microsoft Band 2

The first Microsoft Band wasn't exactly a looker. The all black look the company went for was likely to make it sleek and discrete but it mostly made it boring and forgettable for most.

The new Band has a silver metallic finish on the edges instead of the plastic on the previous wearable. The clasp is also a silver finish this time around instead of a black metal finish.

Microsoft Band 2

The power and action buttons are in the same place and match the silver edges of the new Band. These are slight changes but they do make it look more premium than the all black model.

The new Microsoft Band is made of thermal plastic elastomer silicone vulcanate where the older one is made of thermal plastic elastomer material. The original Band's material is already comfy enough and good for workouts so the new Band shouldn't feel or function too differently.

Microsoft Band 2 vs Microsoft Band: Display

Microsoft Band 2

One of the biggest issues with the older Microsoft Band is its stiff and uncomfortable design, which is mostly the fault of its rigid, flat display.

The new Microsoft Band may have alleviated this by integrating a curved screen. Not only does it promise to fit better on the wrist, it should make notifications easier to navigate.

The Corning Gorilla Glass 3 AMOLED screen is larger at 32mm x 12.8mm (320 x 128 pixels) while the older Microsoft Band measures in at 33mm x 11mm TFT (320 x 106 pixels).

The second-gen Band has a full color display and touchscreen like the previous one. They're both bright and slightly pixellated so there's no change there.

Microsoft Band 2 vs Microsoft Band: Features

Microsoft Band 2

The new Band generally has the same features as the older version thanks to Microsoft's consistent software updates.

There is however, the addition of a barometer sensor meaning you'll have an elevation tracker added to the 11 other sensors.

All the fitness heavy apps will be back along with more features for golfers. The heart rate monitor remains on the back of the wearable, along with GPS functionality.

The new Band (like the old Band) will be cross compatible on Android and iOS phones - just without the addition of Cortana. It looks like the AI is only available on Windows 8.1 and higher phones, and Windows 10 devices, though Microsoft has not elaborated further on what those devices are.

Sadly, the new Microsoft Band isn't waterproof and only slightly water resistant. The official IP rating is still unknown but like the previous device, only light rain and splashes of water can hit the wearable. No dunking it in pools or wearing it in the shower.

Microsoft Band 2 vs Microsoft Band: Battery life

Microsoft Band 2

Most trackers with screens don't have a very long battery life and the first Microsoft Band was no exception. With a two day span, it averages out with what most smartwatches are capable of.

The Microsoft Band 2 only lasts about two days, or 48 hours specifically with normal usage, according to Microsoft.

The magnetic USB charger appears to be back and slightly remodeled likely to fit the new Band's shape.

I've had decent luck with the Microsoft Band 2, and it's been lasting two days, and a little over. This is probably due to the lack of Cortana usage since I've only paired it with an iPhone 6S and Samsung Galaxy Edge.

Microsoft Band 2 vs Microsoft Band: Pricing

Microsoft Band 2

The older Microsoft Band was released at $199 (£170, about AU$230), and was considered surprisingly affordable for a fitness tracker that promised to do so much.

The new one costs a bit more at $249 (£199, about AU$347). It's not too much of a price difference but the extra $50 should be worth it for the better fit, and the overall durable design.

Microsoft Band 2 vs Microsoft Band: Early verdict

The second Band's barometer and curved screen are a nice touches that the first-gen Band sorely lacked. Still, the Band 2 isn't waterproof and it doesn't look like Cortana is available on very many devices.

I was pretty pleased with the original Microsoft Band despite its shortcomings and it seems like the team did make some improvements to the wearable. After testing it out, I can recommend the Microsoft Band 2 as a decent fitness tracker to have. It's no fancy sports watch, but it's a step up from Fitbit or Jawbone if you're looking for a nice little screen.

note: while the article doesn't specifically say the cause, and resolution, the error code indicates a problem with AD domain services re Active Directory doesn't respond to DNS. So you have to check both DNS and Active Directory domain services to make sure everything is configured correctly for AD and the DNS zone.It's possible your zone data is wrong.

Test Match Special's greatest gaffe: the 'Leg Over'

Brian Johnston and Jonathan Agnew get the giggles in what has since been voted the greatest piece of sporting commentary ever.

In 1991, while commentating on a Test match between England and the West Indies, TMS legends Brian Johnston and Jonathan Agnew were undone by the most famous fit of giggles in broadcasting history. Here's what happened:

Johnston was describing a curious dismissal in which Ian Botham’s inner thigh had brushed his stumps, dislodging a bail. ‘He just didn’t quite get his leg over,’ chipped in Agnew mischievously. Cue Johnston, a lover of schoolboy innuendo to rival Frankie Howerd, erupting in a Krakatoa of snorts, whimpers, sneezes and, finally, uncontrollable laughter. Listeners were similarly afflicted; motorists had to pull on to the hard shoulder to wipe away the tears.

The ‘Leg Over’ has since become a commentary classic. But, at the time, Johnston was aghast. ‘He thought he’d been unprofessional,’ says Agnew. ‘It was only the next day when we listened to it that we realised it was very funny.’

Agnew has listened to the clip a thousand times since, on air and during live appearances. But this hasn’t dulled the comedy or the poignancy; it reminds him of Brian. ‘When I listen to it I can reach out and touch Johnners,’ he says quietly. ‘I’m there, back in the commentary box, with him floundering beside me. It’s a very personal memory of him for me. It’s something we did together.’

Jonathan Agnew's affectionate tribute to Brian Johnston, Thanks, Johnners, published by HarperCollins.

Indian woman survives leopard attack after fighting predator for 30 minutes

Kamla Devi, 56, used a sickle and a spade to kill the leopard after it pounced on her as she walked home

An Indian villager survived a leopard attack after fighting off the animal with her farm tools.

Courageous Kamla Devi, 56, battled the spotted predator for more than 30 minutes in the northern state of Uttarakhand, eventually killing it with a sickle and small spade.

She was carrying water from a canal to her crop field in the village of Sem Nauti on August 24 when the leopard pounced from a bush.

“The leopard lunged at me many times and we fought for a long time," she told Indian broadcaster CNN-IBN.

“I got hold of my sickle and fought with it. That's when the leopard was killed."

The tenacious mother-of-one is recovering in hospital after suffering major blood loss, deep cuts and fractures during the terrifying ordeal.

"I gathered my courage to fight back. I promised myself that this is not my last day here,” she told the Hindustan Times.

She was taken to hospital after walking half-a-mile for help.

Doctors who treated Ms Devi, a recent widow, said they were surprised she had survived the attack.

The dead animal was later found on the outskirts of the village.

Leopards are increasingly venturing into populated areas as their habitat becomes depleted.

TN Digital Resource Library opens!

Education Organizations Provide the Tennessee Digital Resources Library Free

Visit to access the course materials.

Nashville, TN - The Tennessee School Boards Association, in partnership with the Tennessee Organization of School Superintendents (TOSS), the Tennessee Educational Technology Association (TETA), Tennessee Book Company, and Thrivist, has launched the Tennessee Digital Resources Library (TDRL) today, making digital educational content available free.

 “We are very excited about the launch of the digital library and believe it will be a tremendous resource for our educators and students.  The library was developed by Tennessee teachers curating digital learning resources for Tennessee high school courses that are aligned to Tennessee standards for Tennessee students,” TSBA Executive Director Dr. Tammy Grissom said.

The Tennessee Digital Resources Library was created because TSBA and its partners wanted to embrace the potential offered by digital technology for the sharing of content in the classrooms of Tennessee and engage students with a delivery method that inspires their natural curiosity and parallels the world in which they function outside the classroom.  Boards of education spend a significant amount of money on textbooks that are often obsolete even before they reach our students.  By utilizing these free, modifiable learning resources and making them available on iTunes U, Boards can use textbook money on devices and technology infrastructure.   The Tennessee Digital Resources Library is designed to help school districts use and share open educational resources, which are aligned to Tennessee standards thus helping our teachers as they deliver content in the classrooms.
