Three Big Ideas That Drive the Work of a PLC The essence of the PLC process is captured in three big ideas: 1. The purpose of our school is to ensure all students learn at high levels. 2. Helping all students learn requires a collaborative and collective effort. 3. To assess our effectiveness in helping all students learn we must focus on results—evidence of student learning—and use results to inform and improve our professional practice and respond to students who need intervention or enrichment.

I like to judge people and it was clear to me that Colin’s life has been about as exciting as a cluster headache. You can tell this just from his humour tumour which runs through every conversation you have with him. I got the impression that Colin had arrived at his early fifties resenting the fact that he’s spent his entire career worshiping at the altar of Dynasty PLC. But he is now so indoctrinated by the world of corporate banking that he’s forgotten how to express the real him. This is what a life working for large corporations does to people. The workplace is a place not to be you; it’s a place to be the corporate you. The you that doesn’t really exist. We all see this corporate you and pretend that it’s a normal part of life. But we know that something isn’t quite right. We know that the real you is slowly fading away like old wallpaper. The corporate you is a myth; just like Icarus. And yet we are powerless against it. All of us are powerless against the wrath of the corporate world.

Newton Pulsifer had never had a cause in his life. Nor had he, as far as he knew, ever believed in anything. It had been embarrassing, because he quite wanted to believe in something, since he recognized that belief was the lifebelt that got most people through the choppy waters of Life. He’d have liked to believe in a supreme God, although he’d have preferred a half-hour’s chat with Him before committing himself, to clear up one or two points. He’d sat in all sorts of churches, waiting for that single flash of blue light, and it hadn’t come. And then he’d tried to become an official Atheist and hadn’t got the rock-hard, self-satisfied strength of belief even for that. And every single political party had seemed to him equally dishonest. And he’d given up on ecology when the ecology magazine he’d been subscribing to had shown its readers a plan of a self-sufficient garden, and had drawn the ecological goat tethered within three feet of the ecological beehive. Newt had spent a lot of time at his grandmother’s house in the country and thought he knew something about the habits of both goats and bees, and concluded therefore that the magazine was run by a bunch of bib-overalled maniacs. Besides, it used the word “community” too often; Newt had always suspected that people who regularly used the word “community” were using it in a very specific sense that excluded him and everyone he knew. Then he’d tried believing in the Universe, which seemed sound enough until he’d innocently started reading new books with words like Chaos and Time and Quantum in the titles. He’d found that even the people whose job of work was, so to speak, the Universe, didn’t really believe in it and were actually quite proud of not knowing what it really was or even if it could theoretically exist. To Newt’s straightforward mind this was intolerable. Newt had not believed in the Cub Scouts and then, when he was old enough, not in the Scouts either. He was prepared to believe, though, that the job of wages clerk at United Holdings [Holdings] PLC, was possibly the most boring in the world. This is how Newton Pulsifer looked as a man: if he went into a phone booth and changed, he might manage to come out looking like Clark Kent.

He appeared to live entirely on sweet tea, condensed milk, hand-rolled cigarettes, and a sort of sullen internal energy. Shadwell had a Cause, which he followed with the full resources of his soul and his Pensioner’s Concessionary Travel Pass. He believed in it. It powered him like a turbine.

When used in place of 'but', the word 'and' allows two seemingly competing ideas to be held side by side. Where the word 'but' minimizes everything that came before, the word 'and' expands us beyond dualistic thinking. When we trade 'but' for 'and', we create the space for ideas to unfold and be explored. If this substitution becomes a habit, we can change the way we think.

Nasıl sanatçılar (conceptual artists), yeni fikirler ve kavramlar yaratıp sonra da bu kavramı ortaya en iyi koyacak yöntem, malzeme, tarz arayışına girerlerse kavramsal marka yaratıcıları da önce ürünü değil, insanları etrafına toplayacakları anlamlı kavramları tespit etmekle işe başlarlar. Jan Rijkenberg’de bugün rekabet etmekte zorlanan ürün odaklı pazarlama yaklaşımını aşmanın tek yolunun “konseptleri” yönetmek olduğunu söyler. Bu anlayışla şirketleri “ürün yaşam eğrisine”(PLC) değil, tüketicileri cezbedecek kavramları yaratmaya ve yönetmeye teşvik eder. Bu yaklaşımda markanın seçtiği kavram bütün pazarlama yaklaşımını içine alan bir “bakış açısıdır.” İçinde makanın inancını, dünya görüşünü, değer yargılarını ve üslubunu barındırır. Markanın sahiplendiği kavram, bütün pazarlama faaliyetlerine ruh ve can verir. Bu kavram hitap ettiği insanlarla bir hayat anlayışını, hayat felsefesini ve hayatın anlamını paylaşır.

response to intervention (RTI) is our best hope to provide every child with the additional time and support needed to learn at high levels. RTI’s underlying premise is that schools should not delay providing help for struggling students until they fall far enough behind to qualify for special education, but instead should provide timely, targeted, systematic interventions to all students who demonstrate the need. To achieve this goal, we remain equally convinced that the only way for an organization to successfully implement RTI practices is within the professional learning community (PLC) model.

A PLC typically consists of three to eight teachers who share a cohort of students, a grade level, or a subject area. These groups meet on a regular basis to discuss a variety of topics relevant to student achievement. In an ideal setting, this collaboration provides a venue for teachers to share successes and challenges, trade ideas, and create new supports or structures for struggling students.

Have a broad understanding of the PLC's main business activity - one which makes sense to you.

Ensure the directors have meaningful shareholdings themselves in the PLC and 'clean' reputations.

A single-figure PER indicates that, rightly or wrongly, a company is modestly rated - that there is a limited expectation or uncertainty about further profits growth. Initially, investing on a lowish PER - something I try to do - is 'safer' than buying into a share on a PER of, say, 20+. In the case of the latter, the high PER means that the expectation of profits growth is already built into the share price. Fine, if it does deliver, but if it fails to do so then its rating could 'fall'. Thus if a PER rating on a particular PLC falls from 20 to 10, the shares will have halves - bad news!

Personally, I like to buy shares on a modest valuation - ideally, say, a dividend yield of 5-6% - and on a single-figure PER. Apart from the obvious attractions of receiving the dividend, the payment of a dividend acts as a significant discipline on the Board of a PLC in that it has to find the cash, each year, to pay those dividends.

I would not invest in a PLC unless the directors themselves held serious personal shareholdings in it, and you shouldn't either. For me, the larger the better.

n family PLCs, takeovers tend to happen when there is a lack of family succession or there is a desire to realise wealth. In non-controlled PLCs, i.e. where there are no controlling or dominant shareholders who could dismiss a takeover approach out of hand, takeovers usually involve a larger company taking over a smaller one. These latter takeovers are usually driven by the pressures of globalisation, a larger PLC seeking to 'take out' a troublesome competitor or to acquire a new revenue stream through diversification, perhaps a shortcut rather than developing itself through organic growth.

He’s an extraordinary man, he has such… um… ah… how can I describe him? It’s very difficult really… He’s a perfectionist. And he has… knows exactly what he wants. Knows how to get it. And he has many methods of getting what he wants. Um… he’s very inventive, his talk about the characters was really illuminating and kind of crashed open barriers, you know, there was nothing safe about the way he works. And his descriptions of the characters… I was playing Mrs Elvsted [in Hedda Gabler at the National Theatre] and he said: ‘She enters and there is a scream inside her up to here [raises top side of hand to below chin, slightly tilts head back - as if just keeping head above water]’… I mean what a wonderful note. You can’t go wrong, can you really? And then other times he might… there was a scene I was having some difficulty with, getting the strength and the depth of emotional reaction to something Løvborg had said to me which was… hideous to hear. And I couldn’t get it. And so he came on and he said ‘Alright, I’m Løvborg.’ And then he said what he said and I still couldn’t… And he just [gestures slap across the face] flicked me across the cheek with his hand. And I went [makes face of immediate rage]… whoosh… [makes gesture with hand of firework or rocket shooting up] and of course he’d released all the emotion that I couldn’t find intellectually [points to head]. With just that little [taps/ slaps face] And of course… grrrrr, I was like a tiger leaping out of the cage. That was the only time he ever did anything… very un-PLC or whatever the phrase is now. But it was perfect. Perfect.

Before Stuxnet’s malicious commands went into action, the malware sat patiently on the PLC for about two weeks, sometimes longer, recording legitimate operations as the controller sent status reports back to monitoring stations. Then when Stuxnet’s malicious commands leapt into action, the malware replayed the recorded data back to operators to blind them to anything amiss on the machines

Apple introduces CarPlay for iPhone use in vehicles The CarPlay technology will be available in vehicles as early as this year. Photo: Bloomberg By Tom Lavell | 209 words Frankfurt: Apple Inc. on Monday said their new CarPlay technology will enable drivers use iPhone with voice commands or steering-wheel buttons, and will be available in vehicles as early as this year. Fiat SpA's Ferrari supercar division, Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz luxury unit and Volvo Car Corp. will show customers the CarPlay system this week, with other auto producers introducing it later, Cupertino, California-based Apple said in a statement. CarPlay will be available as an update to the iOS 7 mobile software on iPhones, and works with the Siri voice-recognition feature. In-vehicle technology is the top selling point for 39% of car buyers, more than twice the 14% who cited traditional performance measures such as power and speed as their first consideration, consulting company Accenture Plc said in a study published in December. The US senate commerce committee chairman Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, vowed in February to pursue rules for in-vehicle use of mobile phones and Internet-linked entertainment systems unless carmakers and suppliers do more to limit disruptions to drivers' focus. "CarPlay lets drivers use their iPhone in the car with minimized distraction," Greg Joswiak, Apple's marketing vice president for the mobile device, said in Monday's statement, released in advance of the technology's debut at the Geneva International Motor Show this week.
