This study investigated biodiesel production from waste cooking oil using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and experimental testing in a 2 liter stirred tank reactor. Particle image velocimetry was used to experimentally obtain hydrodynamic effects for the CFD model. Three turbulent models were evaluated in the CFD simulation. Experimental transesterification reactions were guided by a Taguchi design, investigating the effects of impeller type, speed, temperature, and clearance. A maximum biodiesel yield of 94.5% was achieved using a mixed flow impeller. Fluid dynamics studies revealed higher mean velocities and mass transfer rates for the mixed flow impeller compared to the radial impeller. The Reynolds stress model in CFD agreed best with

Memorandum
TO:
FROM:
Penny Garzon
Mario Ochoa
DATE: October 16,2014
SUBJECT: College life 411
Hey Penny! It is so nice to hear from the Garzon family again. Of course I remember
your sister, Marguerite. She and I used to sit next to each other in French class. We would laugh
every time a new substitute teacher would pronounce her name incorrectly. Sadly, she and I
didn't keep tabs on each other outside of high school, but I am pleased to find out she is
furthering he education at Ohio State. However, I did hear much about her younger sister, by the
name of Penny, who always wanted to put her two cents in. Unfortunately, your sister wasn't
very good at jokes. I am very happy to hear from you and would love to help you n:urow down
your options.
First, I am currently enrolled as a full time student at California State University, San
Bernardino and it has been eventful, to say the least. I am majoring in Philosophy and
Psychology and also working part-time off campus- As a full time student, you take an average
of about twelve units per quarter and most classes range between two to four units each. These
classes may range anywhere between one to four hours, depending on how many days a week
the class meets up. That being said, a part time employee usually works twenty hours a week or
more. As you can see, this can lead to a time crunch between finishing your school work and
trying to live the exciting college life you see in movies and television. Although this may sound
daunting, it is very manageable. I implore you to enroll in a freshman seminar class, seeing as
how they teach you very important skills you may need in college, such as time management.
Second, the instructors I have dealt with, here at CSUSB, have been very helpful and
understanding of the students educational needs. In fact, if you simply take the time out to email
your professor and attend class regularly, he/she will work with you and your concems. I once
had this management 306 class, with a down to earth instructor if I may add that I was on the
waitlist for. As I mentioned before, I attended class regularly, did the assignments that were
given, and followed up with emails to prove I wanted to be in the class; And sure enough, I
received a response stating I could join the class even though it was al"capacity.
Third, if my life wasn't busy enough, I am also part of a fraternity recognized here on
campus. I've been a brother for about three years now and have done my best to try and split
time between them, school, and work. They are part of my family and have been instrumental
with my success here at CSUSB. Having such a support group around while you are away from
your family, tends to make joining a fratemity or sorority a popular choice. They make college
life exciting and enjoyable by hosting numerous social events, community service opportunities,
and also networking outlets that you will need after you graduate and move onto a caree ...

New teachers also need to establish classroom procedures and management strategies to create a safe and organized learning environment. Finally, it is important for new teachers to take care of themselves by maintaining a work-life balance, getting enough sleep, and surrounding themselves with positive support.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
This presentation includes basic of PCOS their pathology and treatment and also Ayurveda correlation of PCOS and Ayurvedic line of treatment mentioned in classics.
How to Add Chatter in the odoo 17 ERP ModuleCeline George
In Odoo, the chatter is like a chat tool that helps you work together on records. You can leave notes and track things, making it easier to talk with your team and partners. Inside chatter, all communication history, activity, and changes will be displayed.
3. Speed dating, Arts Teacher Style
• Find a person in the room that you don’t know particularly well
• You have two minutes to each share the following:
• One thing you enjoy doing outside of your job
• One thing people might be surprised to know about you
• And…what career would you have chosen if you were not a teacher?
Lather, rinse, and repeat with two more people. (NO CHOOSING SOMEONE FROM
YOUR BUILDING. That’s like speed dating with a family member.)
Listen for the bell for when to find a new partner.
4. First, an apology.
Today, you’ll be hearing a lot of me talking.
I realize it’s not optimal for your engagement or learning, but
for this first meeting….it’s the fastest and best way to get info
out to you.
So….here we go…..
5. Meet the new folks…
• Marisa Jacobson, Chorus at PHS
• Amy Foster, Chorus at SMS
• Ashley Woodside, Instrumental Music at PPES
6. Not new to the county, but in new
positions or buildings:
• Beth Lanier, Chorus at WHMS
• Maria Miller, Art at HHS
• Breanne Smith, Dance at PHS
• Allen Price, Theater at PHS
• Cortney Costello, Theater at
CHS
• Rachel Sparks, Theater at NHS
7. Who’s got something great to share?
• Engagements?
• Marriages?
• Births?
• Grandbabies?
• New Houses?
• Fabulous vacations?
8. So what’s the General been up to?
Linda has been busy this summer spending a lot of money on her house.
New roof, new gutters, repairs to drywall, weeding and trimming of
shrubbery….as she stated to one teacher….she’s had a lot of men in her
house! Every time I talk with her she seems to be cleaning.
She’s also been fielding a million questions from two fine arts supervisors.
Between her daughter Stephanie and I she may feel as though she has
never left!
In addition, she’s got a fabulous trip scheduled for the fall – traveling
across Canada via train.
She would love to stay in touch with you – if you’d like her contact
information just let me know. She would be delighted to have coffee or
lunch with any of you.
9. So, who is this new Supervisor? Are we
doomed?
A little about me…..
10. The Serious Stuff
My name is Jessica Valadie, and I’ve been an employee of CCPS since
1998. I started at Calvert High as the band director (who also taught 3
sections of math), and have taught elementary band and strings at a
number of schools in the county as well. I became a dean in 2008 at
Appeal and Patuxent Elementary Schools, and transitioned to being
Vice Principal at St. Leonard Elementary in 2012…and then I promptly
took a year off to spend with my children.
11. Other Items of Note
• I taught general music for a year in Virginia prior to coming to CCPS.
• My background is primarily instrumental (French horn is my major
instrument). I was heavily involved in both theater and chorus as a high
school student, and had I been able to fit them in my schedule, I would
have continued to take art classes. And while I’ve got rhythm…you probably
don’t want to see me dance.
• I am a proud 1996 graduate of James Madison University (Go Dukes!). I also
have a master’s degree from McDaniel College. I’ve never set foot on the
campus.
12. What’s important to me?
My husband, Daniel, is a percussionist in the US Air Force
Ceremonial Brass. Recently, he’s been named the Assistant
Drum Major for the group, which means he comes home with
stories that remind me of being a school building
administrator. He also designs and writes marching band
shows and works with a number of bands.
He would absolutely hate that I’ve put this photo of him up
here, so let’s not share that with him.
13. Harper, age 7
(going on 15….)
• Yes, she is taking piano
• But her real love is art…
• And she seems to have a flair for the dramatic….
14. Quinn, Age 5
• The older twin by two minutes
• The most introverted of the Valadie children
• And stubborn….he gets that from his father….
• Enjoys chicken nuggets and superheros
15. Rhys, Age 5
• NOT introverted (he does NOT get that from his father. Not
sure where that comes from….)
• Fashion challenged
• Wears bifocals and has some eye crossing action that we are
working on correcting
• Loves mac and cheese and superheros
16. Other Random items of note about me…
I pretend to be a runner. A very, very, very
slow runner. Sometimes mixed with being a
walker. I love spin class, too!
17. I collect Vintage Pyrex and Enamelware!
And therefore I love a flea market, a yard sale,
or an antique shop.
18. I love to cook and bake!
We’ve been eating a lot of vegan and vegetarian fare.
I am that girl that knows what chia seeds are and how to use
them.
And this is all way better than it sounds….
19. So why spend this time telling you about myself? Shouldn’t
we be talking about the new National Core Arts Standards or
something?
• I believe that what’s important to us strongly affects how we show up
in the classroom as educators.
• I also believe that it’s important for us to know each other as people.
• Outside interests are important to our happiness and overall well
being.
• And….those of you that don’t know me probably were wanting at
least a bit of reassurance that I wasn’t some kind of crazed lunatic.
20. When I ask you questions about yourself, your family,
your hobbies, and what it is that YOU value…
I truly do want to know! Don’t feel compelled to share things
with me that you’d rather not have known, but do know that I
am interested in each of you as a person – and that means
your life inside and outside of work!
21. On a somewhat related note – it is vital for
each of you to take care of yourself.
I know it’s not easy, but….
• Find time to do something physical every day
• Eat good food (not the stuff in the vending machine…and don’t
forget to eat lunch during the day.)
• Engage in an activity just for you for at least a short part of each day
• Laugh. A lot.
22. Long story short -
• I’m extremely happy to be here in this role and to have the opportunity to work
with such a talented group of arts educators.
• Although I often like to package things in a fun format (who wants to sit through
dreadfully dry in service meetings?) – I do take my obligation to you and your
students quite seriously. Please don’t misinterpret my levity as a lack of seriousness
and purpose about the incredibly important job we all do as advocates for and
teachers of the arts.
• I’m here to help you and your students – so don’t hesitate to contact me if there is
something I can do to assist you! My contact letter is in the welcome letter I sent
via email, as well as in the informational file on Office 365.
24. There are lots of new principals, vice
principals, and deans this year.
• Don’t assume that something that a previous administrator agreed to is
going to be a-ok with the new admin. You need to talk to them and get
their approval. But NOT NOW. They are swamped and probably feeling
overwhelmed. (Not that I would know anything about that.) I suggest
scheduling an appointment with them sometime after the first two weeks of
school.
• Remember that you may be the most incredible, hard working, and team
playing arts teacher known to man – but your new administrator(s) doesn’t
know that yet. You’ll have to show them, and win their trust and respect.
25. The Code of Conduct has some major
changes. Go read it.
• Make up work – you must grade and give credit, even if the absence
was illegal. The student must still request the work from you.
• Cell phones and electronic devices – students may bring them to
school. You can still say they may not be used in your classroom.
The camera function may NOT be used unless for instructional and/or
academic purposes AND with the prior approval of administration.
• Changes were made to the lookalike weapons possession policy and
procedures.
26. More Code of Conduct changes:
• The state guidelines regarding suspensions have changed. It is much harder
to suspend a student, and more levels of response and intervention are
required before this can be considered – except in the case of firearms.
Educational services must be provided through access to daily classwork
and assignments for students who are serving a long term or extended
suspension or expulsion.
• ISS will still exist but will function a bit differently.
• Overall, there is no more zero tolerance except for firearms, which is
mandated by law.
27. Be smart about email.
• Remember that it is very difficult to determine tone on email.
• DON’T TYPE IN ALL CAPS. YOU ARE ESSENTIALLY SHOUTING AT
THE RECIPIENT. (I apologize for the yelling here.)
• Don’t email parents with sensitive information regarding their child.
It’s always best to call or set up a conference.
• And remember – anyone could be reading what you are typing on
email. If you wouldn’t want your principal, your mother, or the
superintendent to read it, don’t email it.
28. If you get an angry email from a parent:
• Do not respond immediately. Take time to think about the situation and to
allow your blood pressure to return to normal.
• Get your ducks in a row (i.e. your data if it’s a grade issue)
• Call them or invite them in to a conference to discuss the issue. Do not email
them. It is best to have someone listen in on the phone call, like your principal,
vice principal, or dean. At a minimum, have a colleague listen.
• Save the email as documentation. Take notes on any conversations that take
place regarding the concerns. (You should do this anytime you talk to a parent
on the phone or have a conference in any case – keep a log.)
29. Social Media. It’s great. And it’s terrible.
• Be very, very, very careful about what you post regarding work. It is all too easy to be
misinterpreted, and people you never dreamed would see it will miraculously find it.
(Cell phone screen shots travel faster than the speed of light.)
• Don’t accept friend requests from students. My personal policy is that I won’t accept a
friend request from a former student until they have graduated from high school – and
even then, I think carefully about it.
• If you have friends that you know from outside the school system (such as a teenager
that goes to your church, etc.) – keep in mind that even though you may not have
taught that child, you may have taught (or be teaching) their friends. The webs on
social media are complex, and even when you think you’ve got your settings arranged
so as not to have the wrong people viewing your stuff – there are often ways around
them.
30. If you have a social media page or account
that is affiliated with your program:
• Please let me know what it is so I can join the page or follow you.
• You need to be monitoring activity on that page like a hawk (once every 24
hours, minimum.) Personally, I would be checking it more often than that.
One inappropriate post and things can blow up quickly….
• While the school system and individual schools have been instructed to not
use Facebook as a means of communication, there is as of now a gray area
that exists in terms of things like sports teams, clubs, marching bands, etc.
• Consider using other means of communication with members of your clubs
or groups, such as Edmodo or Remind 101.
31. General things to remember when it
comes to communication with students
• Students should not be calling or texting you. It is a slippery slope
and students can cross a line of appropriateness before they even
realize they have done it. Just don’t do it.
• I realize that there are times you may need to give out your cell
number, particularly when dealing with things like marching band –
This number should be used only for emergencies. It is preferable
that your number is given to boosters or parents rather than
students.
32. Observations, hooray!
• I will be doing walk throughs of every fine arts classroom starting in the last
week of August and running through September. This is simply an
opportunity for me to see each of you in action with your students. When I
walk in your room, just continue teaching. I won’t be able to stay for the
entire class, even though I would love to.
• Tenured teachers that fall into a particular cohort will be observed this year
(it used to be years 1 and 4 of your license cycle), as will non-tenured
teachers. We will again be using the Danielson model. Domains 2 and 3
will be covered during your observation, and Domains 1 and 4 will be
covered during your summative.
33. Don‘t assume your administrators know
everything that you do.
• Domain 1 deals with Planning and Preparation: knowledge of content and
pedagogy; knowledge of students; setting instructional outcomes; knowledge of
resources; designing coherent instruction; designing coherent student assessment
• Domain 4 deals with Professional Responsibilities: reflecting on teaching;
maintaining accurate records; communicating with families; participating in a
professional community; growing and developing professionally, demonstrating
professionalism
• Plan to provide evidence in these areas to your administrators – particularly domain
4. If you aren’t sure what kind of evidence, talk to me or your administrative team
at school and we can provide some clarification.
34. So what am I looking for during an
observation?
First and foremost, I’m looking for the things that are on the Danielson rubric in
Domains 2 and 3.
Specific things that I look for?
• Effective and efficient use of time (A pet peeve of mine is wasted instructional time.
Teach your students how to transition in and out of class, how to get set up for
class quickly, and what your expectations are during class. Even secondary students
need explicit instruction on routines and expectations.
• Engagement from all students (which means differentiating for a variety of needs)
• Consistently communicated high expectations for your students
35. What about lesson plans? Are you expecting to see
lesson plans like I wrote as a college student?
• No, but…..
• I expect to see that you have some written documentation of what you are
planning to do in that class. Even for a rehearsal of a musical ensemble, there
should be evidence of written planning. I don’t care about the format, do whatever
works for you.
• You should be able to tell me what standards are being addressed by your lesson.
If you can’t articulate that to me, then you should plan to have that written down.
• If you are newer to the profession or have a specific area that we need to target for
improvement, I may ask you to write more explicit lesson plans. This is both for your
development as a professional, and so that I (and your building administration) can
more readily see your thinking and help guide you.
36. Here’s what I want you to remember about
observations.
• Observations are not meant to make you sweat bullets or fear for
your job security. It’s an opportunity to look at your teaching practice,
consider what’s good, and improve upon what could be better.
• You may get a 1 in an area on your observation. This doesn’t mean
you are a terrible teacher. It means there is an area that needs work.
On the old form, this would have been a comment under one of the
areas. The Danielson rubric is much more specific than was our
previous observation tool.
37. Curriculum Woes
• I am aware of the fact that much of our curriculum is in desperate need of revision.
• However – the new National Core Standards for the Arts were released in early
June. I would like to wait to hear from the state as to how they are planning to
integrate those into the state curriculum before we proceed with revising the CCPS
curriculum. Once I have a better idea as to where Maryland stands, we will come up
with a plan for how and when we will revise curriculum.
• If you haven’t checked out the new standards yet, you should! Go to
http://www.nationalartsstandards.org/. One item of note is that the national core
standards include standards for Media Arts (a sort of synthesis of the other areas
that incorporates digital media along with other art forms)
38. Fine Arts Assessments -
• In 2013-2014, performance and written assessments were
administered in the following:
• Grades 2 and 5 – art, general music, and instrumental music (grade 5 only)
• Grade 8 – chorus, band, orchestra, and art
No high school assessments were given last year. The plan was to give them this
year, but….
39. The glitch with HS assessments….
• It seems that there are no performance or written assessments that
have been created for Chorus or Art. (Let me know if this is not the
case!)
• In addition….I can’t find anything in my files to indicate that critical
content and exit expectations were completed for any of the high
school art courses. (Again, if this is not the case, tell me!)
40. As of now, here’s the fine arts assessment
plan…
• We will revise the assessments given last year in grades 2, 5, and 8 at one of our fall
in service days, and will administer them again this spring.
• We will administer the high school assessments that have been created, which to
the best of my knowledge is Band, Orchestra, Theater (written only), and Dance.
• We will create the choral assessments (both performance and written) at one of our
fall in service days. A theater performance assessment will also be created. If
these are ready in time, we will administer them in Spring 2015 with the
assessments listed above.
• We cannot create assessments for art if we have not tackled critical content and exit
expectations, which I plan to schedule for Summer 2015. So, no art assessment for
this year.
41. “But I don’t waaaannnnnaaaa give countywide assessments.
This is a waste of my time and the time of my students.”
• If that is truly the case, then we aren’t administering effective assessments.
We need to be gathering useful data to help drive our instruction.
• These assessments, when done correctly, offer important information on
whether we are teaching the things we say we are, and how well we are
teaching it.
• Data is power. It also has a lovely side effect of providing some sense of
legitimacy to the arts in the mind of a naysayer. That should never be the
driving factor in giving an assessment, but it is a helpful side effect for us.
42. UDL (Universal Design for
Learning)
You’ll be hearing more about
this in the upcoming year. In
the arts, we already do a great
deal of this as a matter of
practice. Keep thinking of ways
that you can provide multiple
means of representation, action,
expression, and engagement. It
benefits all of your students, not
just a few.
43. Random things of note that don’t fit neatly
elsewhere:
• Keep in mind that I don’t have the institutional knowledge that Linda
possessed in regards to how things have been done. You may hear a bit
more of “I’ll have to get back to you on that” than you have been used to
hearing, particularly this year.
• If there is an upcoming date, event, activity, etc. that you think I may not
know about – tell me! If there is something Linda used to do for you that
hasn’t been done – tell me! If there is something you think I should know
“just because” – tell me! Don’t be concerned that you might be stepping on
my toes – you won’t be. I’d rather know than be blindsided at the last
minute by being unaware of something I should be doing.
44. Office 365 – Where your beginning of the
year info is being housed!
• See handout for directions on how to get into Office 365 and where to go
to find the fine arts folder.
• One folder says “Beginning of the Year Information”. This contains lots of
calendars and other documents with information you will need during the
course of the year. You need to go into this folder and read everything in
the “All Fine Arts teachers” folder as well as the folder specific to your
content area.
• Another folder says “Beginning of the Year Documents to Return”. Read the
document that says Directions for Documents to Return Folder and it will
tell you how to complete and return them to me.
45. And now for some content
area specific information….
46. Art Teachers – Content Specific Info
• The schedules for displayed art at the board in the hallway, art for the board
room, and other requests for artwork are in the informational folder on
Office 365.
• We have had requests for photography to put in the media center at the
Board of Ed, as well as more artwork to be hung in instruction. (We would
even like a little bit of ceramics!) If you have something that would fit the
bill, please let me know.
• If you received an Arts Council grant last year and have not turned in your
final report yet, it is due ASAP. Check your email.
47. Survey time!
• I will be asking for a great deal of feedback from all of you this year.
• Today I am asking you to give me feedback on:
• Professional development needs
• Possible social activities
• Out of content teaching, both in the upcoming year and past years
48. And now to wrap up…..
• Please complete the survey and return it to me. Once it has been
turned in – you are free to leave!
• This is the time to ask me any questions specific to you and your
teaching situation.
• Thanks in advance for all you do for your students to help them
become successful in visual art!
49. Music, Drama, and Dance – Content
Specific Information
• Andy and Vince – I have music for the groups you are managing.
Please get it from me before leaving today.
• If you are managing a group – I have a limited supply of folders right
now. I am working on getting more. Contact me soon if you will
need some for the group you are managing.
• I have many, many blank cassette tapes in my office. If anyone wants
them, let me know. Otherwise, they are going into the dumpster.

Purchases that were
made in 2013-14
We did lose some $ for the
upcoming year, much of it in the
new equipment category.
56. Things we need to begin
considering/changing:
• We need to have more and better communication throughout our
“feeder chains”. This gets complicated in our system due to the fact
that most of our schools send students to more than one middle or
high school – yet and still, we need to start having some honest (and
professional) dialogue about what is going on at each level in terms
of recruitment/instruction and how it is impacting the next level. This
dialogue needs to include some brainstorming for how we might go
about improving/fixing things that are issues.
57. Focus items for the upcoming years
• Our dance program needs to be strengthened. There has been a significant decline in the
classes being offered at each high school. (There are glimmers of hope, PHS is offering a
dance class this year after a 2 year hiatus. Baby steps.)
• We need to continue working to assure that our middle school students have had significant
exposure to grade 3 music prior to transitioning to high school.
• We need to continue to strengthen the theater programs at some of our high schools. We
have the staff in place to do it (hooray!) – but rebuilding will be necessary in some buildings.
• We have too many teachers teaching out of field for too many years. We need to look at the
reasons for this and determine what can be done to start to course correct. This situation is
not optimal for students or for staff.*
58. Things that I suspect will come up this
year:
• Our model for elementary instrumental music
• Our budget
59. If you received a grant from the Arts
Council last year….
• Check your email. If you have not yet turned in your final report, I
need you to do that ASAP. If you did not get an email from me on
Tuesday (8/12), then you are in the clear and yours has been received.
60. Play nicely with others.
• Often times we need things as music, dance, or drama teachers.
Time in a particular facility or on a particular field. A piece of
equipment. A favor. Please hear me when I say this…
If you “play nicely” with others, you and
your program will benefit.
61. Survey time!
• I will be asking for a great deal of feedback from all of you this year.
• Today I am asking you to give me feedback on:
• Professional development needs
• Possible social activities
• Out of content teaching, both in the upcoming year and past years
• Music teachers only – suggested adjudicators for performance assessment
(a.k.a. festival)
62. And now to wrap up…..
• Please complete the survey and return it to me. Once it has been
turned in – you are free to leave!
• This is the time to ask me any questions specific to you and your
teaching situation.
• Thanks in advance for all you do for your students to help them
become successful in theater, music, and dance!
