Ethelbald continued his supremacy for several years after that, solidifying Mercias place atop the South Saxons heap and paving the way for his successor, Offa. Yet these were not necessarily years free from strife. A battle always seemed to be on the horizon. The soldiers of Sussex and Wessex and Kent surely were invariably struggling to put their best man forward. Yet Ethelbald held firm in his sway over them.
Until 752, that is, when Cuthred of Wessex finally defeated Ethelbald and Mercia at Burford. The Mercian King lost much of his prestige after this battle. His people lost faith in him. He was murdered by his own thanes in 756.
The reign of Ethelbald was over, but the ascendancy of Mercia was just getting going.I'm ready to make a big jump into QR coding my classroom. I decided to start simple. I wanted to create small explanations on how to use each center. I will use these videos to introduce centers, help new students, and reinforce artistic behaviors with younger students.
I found these plastic frame at Office Depot for $2.00. I bought about 10 of them. I like them because they stand out at the center, and I can easily change them when needed.
​I start my year with drawing. So, I made my first video about the drawing center. When students scan in they go straight to this video. I am very excited about the possibilities that QR codes can bring into the TAB art room. I have so many ideas! More to come on this subject.
I have the bug to start setting up my classroom. I have been collecting supplies here and there through out the summer. But, I think it's time to go in this week and start getting it all in place.
I always start with my area. I need a command center before I can start with anything else. A small fridge, coffee maker, books, and supply drawer all fit in that small corner.
I set up the front board with my signs and weekly agenda. To the right of my board, I have this shelf and small table. I am using this table space as a finishing center. The shelf is holding my class rosters and sketchbooks.
When I set up centers for the year, I start with what is the most urgent and will be used first. That is usually drawing and paper. I don't believe in setting up sculpture or textile quite yet. I want to slowly introduce centers and new materials by modeling them. Even though I have been teaching TAB for two years, teaching behavior is a constant.
I just use this shelf for drawing, collage and paper. It sits in the middle of the room. It has worked for a year with the kids. I like the fact that I can see everything. The darker brown shelf holds my paper. I have always struggled with paper storage that works for kids. I am trying this shelf this year. The shelfs pull out. I have pattern papers, magazines, big papers, and any other type of paper here.
"Oh, No! Ms. Walker is gone today. What do we do?!"
I know my drawing and collage posters are here. This was my drawing center in the past. I am keeping the drawing and collage posters up high and referring to them as I review these skills. I ordered some architecture posters that will be down low with the building items for students to refer too.New Delhi, Mar 19 (KNN) Turnaround in political sentiments, FPI flows coupled with the expected large inflows from rights issues and the merger and acquisition deals, reduced geo-political tensions, stabilisation in oil prices have driven the rupee appreciation to a 9-months high said Ganesh Kumar Gupta, President, FIEO, and the rupee could stay strong, as the flows continue.
The RBI's decision for a currency swap to infuse rupee liquidity is expected to bring down hedging cost, prompting inflows in the short end of the corporate debt thus augmenting the supply observed FIEO Chief.
Such sharp appreciation is causing concern both amongst the exporters as well as importers as uncertainty in the exchange rate is driving volatility. Exporters who have contracted at Rs 74 to a Dollar but could not hedge it, due to non -availability of limit by the banks, tend to incur huge losses. Similarly those who imported at Rs 74 to Dollar for exports few months back, will now get Rs 68-69 upon exports resulting in setback to them said Gupta.
This is a new and additional challenge faced by the exporters who are struggling with contraction in global demand, liquidity challenge at the domestic turf and fierce competition from other competing currencies, said Gupta.
President, FIEO said that in the given situation, Rupee is set to appreciate further giving a jolt to our export efforts and therefore, it should be ensured that Rupee remains near 70 to a dollar.West Palm Beach, Florida – June 2019 – Several Keiser University Flagship campus students recently enjoyed attending a Neuroscience Exhibit held at the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium.
Led by Flagship campus Department Chair and Criminal Justice Professor Robert Brzenchek, the Critical Thinking class was able to explore the “Journey Through the Human Brain” exhibit featuring the latest research and innovations with high-tech displays, immersive experiences, and the latest in modern equipment. Students gained insight relating to the chemistry and integrated circuitry of the brain as they researched disorders and delved into the ground-breaking investigation taking place at world-famous research centers located in Palm Beach County.
Serving Palm Beach County since 1961, the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium emphasizes the excitement of science in relation to adventure and exploration. New programs such as science programming and tech ventures based on computer coding, robotics, and leading-edge educational curriculum have allowed them to educate more young minds than ever before, now serving over 250,000 students, teachers and visitors annually, including 75,000 through field trips and educational outreach into schools and classrooms.

Lillian Lee Nissan is a devout Buddhist, but a friend asked, so she went along to midnight mass early on Christmas Day.
When she got home, the Bridgeport woman found her three-story apartment building in flames.
No one was hurt in the fire, which started around 1 a.m. at the building in the 3000 block of South Emerald Avenue. The third-floor apartment was vacant, and no one was home on the second floor. Nissan’s first-floor apartment was gutted.
She lost everything, including an elaborate altar where she prayed daily. And her three beloved pets — a cat and two dogs, one a beagle, the other a Pomeranian. All died in the fire.
A distraught Nissan spent Christmas morning talking with neighbors on the street. Some tried to help her save what was left.
Paul Mazutis, who lives across the street, said he hadn’t met Nissan until Tuesday. But he went into the wreckage and found some religious relics and jewelry.
Mazutis said he was shocked at how resilient Nissan was in the face of a big loss.
“She’s in good spirits,” he said. “She’s religious. She’s just happy to be alive. And she feels bad for the pets. But she’s just glad to be alive.”
Phil Abete and his family live next door to Nissan. The windows of their home were cracked, and their home filled with smoke as firefighters battled the fire. Abete, his family and their three puppies were forced to leave the home, ruining their Christmas plans.
“We’re going to have to go out because we can’t have everyone over,” Abete said. “But we’re just happy she’s OK.”
Originally from Yangon in what’s now the southeast Asian nation of Myanmar, Nissan said she has lived in America for more than 35 years.
She practices Buddhism but was asked by a friend to “pray for baby Jesus” at Christmas mass.
“I haven’t gone to mass in almost 10 years, and it was my first time going to the midnight church service,” Nissan said. “It was very nice. And I have good faith. But I just don’t understand why this happened.”
An electrical problem is thought to have sparked the fire. A handyman recently made some electrical repairs.
Nissan said she didn’t have a place to stay and was hoping to find a temporary residence until she can get back into the apartment where she has lived for more than a year.
“I cannot cry any more. I lost my two pets and one cat, and they were all my beautiful babies.
“Especially on Christmas Eve, at midnight mass.”
But she said, “If God took away, he’ll bless me more.”Hey Mike, I was curious if you knew what type of program they run. I heard Moffitt is a pretty good coach and the players look to be in pretty good shape. The season speaks for itself as well.
moffit learned under the great Gayle Hatch when Moffit was at Miami he did total body 4 days per week, but since he came to lsu he changed bc the
