There were 458,900 workers involved in major work stoppages that began in 2023. The information industry, which includes the motion picture industry, had the largest number of idled workers, at 171,500.
These data are from Work Stoppages Program. Major work stoppages include both worker-initiated strikes and employer-initiated lockouts that involve 1,000 or more workers and last at least one shift during the work week, Monday through Friday excluding federal holidays. To learn more, see "Major Work Stoppages in 2023". We have historical work stoppages analysis factsheets available as well.
Gifted identification is based upon a 95th percentile score in the National Range on a standardized assessment on the Ohio Department of Education approved list of testing instruments. A Full Scale IQ Score of 127 or above on a standardized test of cognitive ability is also used for gifted identification. Applications are also accepted from building administrators, guidance counselors, teachers, parents, and the students themselves. Applications are available on the gifted webpage under "Forms". However, the student must still meet the required score to be identified. Gifted service is extended to students that score 127 or higher on a cognitive ability test or that score a 95% or higher on Math and/or Reading on the NWEA (Map test) that is administered to the students multiple times during the school year.
All teachers teaching in gifted classrooms grades 2-8 are licensed in gifted education (GIS) or are 'gifted service providers' that are currently working toward a gifted service provider (GSP) certificate.. Teachers in grades 9-12 either hold their gifted endorsement or are highly qualified in the content area in which they teach.
Children in the gifted program follow the same grade level content standards as their general education peers or may be working one or more grade levels above. There are components to the gifted program that differ. Students engage in Research Talks, Weekly Forums, Experiential Learning, and Literature Club. They participate in programs such as Shared Inquiry through Junior Great Books, Dr. Sandra Kaplan's Depth and Complexity Writing Model, Zaccaro tiered math units, S.O.L.E. (cooperative learning), and more.
In order to maintain academic rigor and the social-emotional well-being of our gifted children, parent involvement is a major component of our program. Parents are welcome to schedule a visit to their child's gifted classroom and to participate in any school or classroom celebrations.
The COA Committee typically meets on the fourth Thursday of the month (check for holidays) at 5 p.m. in Council Chamber (Room 201) at 222 W. Hargett St., Raleigh, NC 27601. See the RHDC Meeting Dates and Deadlines calendar for COA application deadlines and hearing dates.
Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) zoning permit approvals are only required for exterior changes to a locally designated historic property. To determine whether your property is located within a local Historic Overlay District (HOD) or is a designated Raleigh Historic Landmark (RHL), follow the instructions on the COA webpage.
Because Major Work COA cases are decided in a quasi-judicial evidentiary hearing, the applicant is required to be the current property owner or someone with a valid lease or option or contract to purchase or lease. If the property is not owned by an individual, the applicant must be an authorized agent of the landowner (see 160D-403) and attorney representation is required at the COA hearing.
A virtual meeting with the Historic Preservation Unit staff is available prior to submitting your Major Work COA Application. Contact information to schedule a meeting with staff is located in the blue box on the upper right corner of this page.
The system requires three attachments at the time of submittal: the COA application form, a written description, and current property photographs. You can add as many other attachments as needed to provide a complete application. All forms, plans, and supporting documents must be attached as PDFs, Word documents, or JPEGs. Links to online products you wish to install will not be accepted.
After the online submission, a Historic Preservation Unit staffer will be assigned to the case. Staff will make an initial review to determine clarity and completeness, and if more information is required for the COA Committee to make a decision. Staff will send an email outlining what additional materials are required (if any), a mailing list for creating stamped envelopes, and a secondary revised materials deadline.
By the deadline provided with the initial staff comments, a single revised PDF document containing the full COA application packet must be uploaded to the case in the online permit portal. The PDF should include the signed COA application form, all initial information submitted (unless revised in response to staff comments), and any additional required or supplemental materials prepared to address staff comments. No physical copies of the COA application are needed.
To ensure the readability of your application materials, follow the drawing and photograph standards listed below. If your application materials do not meet these standards, your application will not be considered complete or placed on an agenda.
Stamped and addressed envelopes must be delivered to the city offices at One Exchange Plaza in order for the COA application to be considered complete. The envelope drop-off date corresponds to the revised materials deadline. The envelopes should be letter-sized, empty, and with no return address. Self-sealing envelopes are discouraged. Be sure to include an envelope for each mailing address provided by staff, including the property owner.
The application is complete once staff receives the revised digital COA application packet and the stamped envelopes. Complete Major Work applications are placed on the next COA Committee agenda, based upon which COA application deadline date they meet.
Once an application is complete, the assigned case planner will write a report evaluating the work request for congruity with the special character of the historic district or landmark property and the Design Guidelines. The staff report includes a congruity analysis of the work request and evidence provided, notes any staff concerns, and provides potential conditions for the COA Committee to consider during their discussion. Staff reports are prepared in advance of the meeting and made publicly available with the online agenda and emailed directly to the applicant at least 10 days prior to the meeting.
Staff typically will visit the property as part of the review process. Members of the COA Committee review the application materials and staff reports and also make a site visit prior to the hearing. Committee members may not discuss the details of the case with applicants, neighbors, or fellow committee members prior to the hearing.
Notification of the COA Committee meeting and evidentiary hearings on the agenda is made in several ways. A sign is posted on the subject property. The owners of properties within 100 feet of the subject property are sent a letter with a link to the meeting agenda. A legal ad is placed in the newspaper.
Notification of tenants is also required. Where available, mailing addresses for tenants will be provided by staff for the stamped envelopes. If addresses are not available, staff will provide the applicant with tenant sign materials and additional posting instructions as needed.
No sign-up is required ahead of time, but anyone wishing to comment on a case must be present in-person at the meeting. All individuals (including but not limited to property owners, witnesses, neighbors, and attorneys) with competent and material evidence relevant to a case may participate in the evidentiary hearing.
Applicants or those wishing to speak in support or opposition to the case may bring new information directly to the COA Committee meeting. Presentations must be emailed to the Historic Preservation Unit two business days prior to the meeting. Eight copies are required for any documents, exhibits, or any other materials brought to the meeting.
Often, Major Work COA applications are approved with conditions for further staff review of minor construction details prior to issuing the COA approval placard. The COA approval placard is issued after conditions are met or at the time the decision is adopted if there are no conditions.
COA approval conditions generally fall into two categories: those required prior to issuance of the blue placard and those required prior to installation or construction. If a Major Work COA approval includes conditions to be completed prior to the issuance of permits, the applicant must act to meet these conditions before the COA approval placard is released. All other conditions requiring review and approval by staff should be submitted at the same time in one package rather than provided piecemeal. Submittal is made by email to the assigned case planner.
I have been playing and composing Piano for many years, but never actually learnt any music theory!So, recently, I started reading up and comparing with things I've written to understand the theory behind the music.
But then...C-Minor -> F-Minor -> Bb-Major -> G-Major -> C-Minor ... G-Major seems a completely unrelated chord in the circle of fifths, and yet works great (to transition to a higher inversion in an uplifting way).
As a side note, often, when a phrase is repeated like Cm-Fm-Bb-Gm-Cm-Cm-Fm-Bb-G7-Cm would be common. The opening is a section of the cycle of fifths (or "circle" or "fourths" depending on the author) and the first Gm-Cm doesn't have a strong cadential (or ending) feel but the G7-Cm (or G-Cm) does.
