CertICT. Learning tools & flashcards, for free. MyWordbook 2. And ... action! Mobile learning in the classroom. In our latest guest post, inspired by her Innovate ELT talk, Kat Robb tells us about using video and mobiles in her classes.
The exploitation of video in the classroom is nothing new, but the creation of video doesn't take place as often as it could, mainly due to a lack of equipment and the knowledge of how to use it. There is a difference between a teacher with ten or twenty years' experience, and one with one year's experience repeated ten or twenty times. Using technology in the classroom is about being flexible within one's own teaching practice and being prepared to experiment and learn.
Why use technology? To meet learner expectations by going beyond the textbook and providing the next generation with 21st century skills developmentTo encourage learners to engage with technology for learning outside the classroomTo bring the outside world into the classroomFor professional development. #IATEFL 2016 - Forum on Mobile Learning. Having reviewed the forum on technology in the young learner classroom already, I have decided to stick with the "3-in-1" talk format with some thoughts and reflections on the forum on mobile learning.
The teaching centre I work at has recently ordered a set of twenty iPads and as ICT Coordinator, it will be one of my major tasks throughout the remainder of this year to oversee their introduction to our programme and overall use. I am therefore looking forward to gaining some insights and picking up a few ideas for their use.Valentina Morgana - iPad in the EFL ClassroomThe abstract promised a look into on-going research into student and teacher use of iPads and perceptions of mobile learning.
Valentina begins with a depressingly familiar tale - she was handed a mobile device and wished good luck by her employers. In her case, she seized the opportunity to engage in research. However, I am sure that the majority of teachers would not know where to start. A beginner's guide to mobile learning in ELT. Nicky Hockly: Going Mobile_58. The International Research Foundation for English Language Education.
Video Greeting from TIRF Trustee Michael Carrier The use of mobile and handheld technology is growing exponentially in language education, and it is clear that much more research, project evaluation, and evidence-based analysis are needed to help us understand this new phenomenon.
However, important questions remain about the efficacy of handheld devices in language learning. Is The Flipped Classroom Relevant to ELT? 3 keys to a flipped classroom. If you are planning to use the 'flipped classroom', then you might want to think about a few key ideas.
Background: On Connected Principals Jonathan Martin has written a couple posts on the Flipped Classroom. The Flipped Classroom in ELT. Flipped learning – or the flipped classroom – is one of the hot topics in education at the moment.
It's a core part of the 'EdTech agenda' and often espoused as one of the things that will fix a broken education system. So, what exactly is the flipped classroom and what could it mean for ELT? How well would the concept even work for language teaching? What is flipped learning? Flipped learning reverses the 'standard' model of teaching by delivering instruction to students at home through self-study materials and moving the 'homework' element to the classroom. Why I Gave Up Flipped Instruction. A little over a year ago I wrote a post about the flipped classroom, why I loved it, and how I used it.
I have to admit, the flip wasn't the same economic and political entity then that it is now. And in some ways, I think that matters. Here's the thing. When I recently re-read the post, I didn't disagree with anything I'd said. Yet my brief love affair with the flip has ended. When I wrote that post, I imagined the flip as a stepping stone to a fully realized inquiry/PBL classroom. What is the flip? The flipped classroom essentially reverses traditional teaching. When I first encountered the flip, it seemed like a viable way to help deal with the large and sometimes burdensome amount of content included in my senior Biology & Chemistry curricula.

Reclaiming Innovation. Today, innovation is increasingly conflated with hype, disruption for disruption's sake, and outsourcing laced with a dose of austerity-driven downsizing. If any concept should be seen as an uncomplicated good thing in higher education, it's innovation. Defined by a common-sense notion of "doing things better" and burnished by the sheen of dazzling technological advances, what's not to like about innovation?
Yet as 2014 churns on, the glow is wearing off.

It took me about one hour to set this site up. It's easy to do once you know what you want to say -- it might take another hour to capture and edit the content.
As you will see, this approach has limitations (advertising, lack of flexibility, etc.). However, this might be a solution for some businesses who merely want to establish a temporary Web presence until a custom solution is developed.
Check it out. We are all aware of a local business that could use a simple Website. Your sister's Beauty Salon. Your nephew's lawn mowing service. Your local church, mosque, or synagogue. Offer to get them on The Web using this service. Keep in mind that your time has value. At the very least you should barter for two hours worth of service in exchange for your efforts.

One of the things I've been highly attuned to in recent times for L&D in the UK is that we're expected to know a lot about a lot, and there are few open programmes that cater for the development of skills and knowledge required to be a modern learning leader. So I've been spending time recently looking at how we can design a programme which helps support L&D leaders in the formal development of their skills and knowledge.
I'm pleased to launch the Modern Learning Leaders programme. It's a two day masterclass which is designed around modern learning theories, models, approaches, and methodologies.
One of the things that can sometimes feel elusive or cumbersome in the design and delivery of learning solutions that we deliver is the inclusion of delivering learning solutions through different methods. This programme will showcase how you deliver a programme using a variety of media, resources and content. As you experience the programme, you'll be actively learning about all approaches mentioned, with the idea in mind that you will be a better skilled L&D leader for your organisations.
The programme includes:
- Two day masterclass
- Five webinars
- Slack group
Those are just the core elements. They may not seem that innovative to what is needed for a modern learning programme to be delivered. That's kind of the point I'm trying to highlight and help others make sense of. Modern Learning programmes don't need to be whizz bangy, they just need to be well designed with modern learning approaches.
Through this blog, and via other social media, I'll be openly sharing the design thinking that's gone into making the programme happen, and openly sharing about challenges along the way as well as successes and my own active reflections.
The Two Day Masterclass
The two day masterclass will be held in London on 13 and 14 September, 2017.
It won't be your typical training course. It'll be focused on exploring the topics you deem as necessary. We'll do that using Open Space as an approach for you to design the content of the two days. This approach drives a self-directed agenda to become skilled and knowledgeable as you need. Each session in the masterclass will then be focused on knowledge exploration, understanding and the creation of a learning solution with that content discovery in mind.
If it feels like that's a step away from what you normally experience in a 'training programme', that's exactly how it should feel.
Ahead of this, though, and importantly we're going to build towards the session by inviting you to be part of five webinars and a Slack group. The webinars will help to establish some baseline understanding of each topic so that you're primed, thinking well and actively doing something with your knowledge before the masterclass happens. That's learning design for adults right there. This is how we should be delivering learning solutions as leaders.
The Slack group will enable discussion, sharing of insights, sharing of resources and content ahead of the masterclass. It's in this space we'll be developing our understanding of the content, sharing our thinking with others, and seeing where that takes us. That's also learning design for adults – when adults have a space for reflection and thinking, it enables development of skills and knowledge. Isn't that what we're always trying to achieve?
You can book onto the programme here. The ticket is £450 (plus VAT), but there are limited number of tickets at cheaper prices if you get in quick enough.
I've planned it to happen far enough in the future that a number of things can happen. People can't commit immediately to things like this, they need time to digest, understand and make a decision (even if their initial inclination is yes, it's still a commitment). The webinars and Slack group will build people's capability, knowledge and skills so that when the masterclass happens, people will be ready to have proper debate, exploration and development of skills. The masterclass is an event – I'll be sharing content and resources openly ahead of the event so it's not limited to those attending. The benefit to those attending is the face to face time which supports active development of knowledge, skills and thinking in an environment primed for exactly that to happen.
The Five Webinars
I'm opening the webinars up to being available independent of booking onto the programme. You can book onto each one separately.
The five webinars will run on:
Monday 24 July, 19:00-20:00 (UK) – The human condition. In this webinar we'll be exploring modern theories about the human condition, what they help us to understand about human behaviour, and how we can be better leaders in learning.
You can book onto this webinar without committing to the programme. The ticket is £30 (plus VAT).
Monday 31 July, 19:00-20:00 (UK) – Instructional design. In this webinar we'll be gaining better understanding of instructional design and how it's an important part of better e-content creation and production.
You can book onto this webinar without committing to the programme. The ticket is £30 (plus VAT).
Monday 7 August, 19:00-20:00 (UK) – User experience. In this webinar we'll gain a better insight into what we mean when we say user experience. From this we'll be able to better understand how to design better programmes which make sense for the user and follow good design principles.
You can book onto this webinar without committing to the programme. The ticket is £30 (plus VAT).
Monday 14 August, 19:00-20:00 (UK) – Adult learning theories. In this webinar we'll be taking a closer look at what we know about adult learning, how we can design learning fit for adults, and the implications of this in delivery of learning solutions.
You can book onto this webinar without committing to the programme. The ticket is £30 (plus VAT).
Monday 21 August, 19:00-20:00 (UK) – Social learning technologies. In this webinar we'll better understand how different learning technologies serve different purposes for learning design. For example, we'll see how Slack, Twitter and blogging can all help improve our capabilities as learning leaders and in learning solution design.
You can book onto this webinar without committing to the programme. The ticket is £30 (plus VAT).
These sessions will all be lead by me (Sukh), and I'll be asking special guests to help deliver the content for each.
Booking onto the webinars does not mean you're part of the Modern Learning Leader programme.
The Slack Group
The Slack group will be by invitation only. Slack is a useful social technology which enables people to share insights with each other, content and resources. It's a really useful way to enable discussion ahead of a learning event and providing a way for people to get to know each other in advance.
Book Your Ticket
Interested in what this looks like? I'll be honest, I'm quite excited to make this available – it's been a labour of love and thinking over the least three years to bring it to this point!

T.I. -- Oprah Knows I'm Not Sexist!!!
T.I. Oprah Knows I'm Not Sexist!!!
T.I. didn't mean to be sexist when he said women weren't fit to be president ... he was just engaged in what he's now calling "barbershop talk" delivered for shock value.
Tip made another attempt at an apology for the comments that caught him flak -- even from Oprah.
The rapper goes down the line ... first saying sorry to his mama, his baby mama, his daughters and then, well, basically women everywhere for what he says was just a joke in poor taste about a stereotype.
As for Oprah ... T.I.'s got reason to believe they're still cool.
Waiting for your permission to load the comments.

Hampton Inn or Bust
Well, she did it.
BW managed to get my sorry rear end off the couch, into the Honda and on our way for week without students or silverados to think about and now that we have arrived, I must say we are having a very good time.
Are We There Yet?
Friday morning we were on the road at 8am and started the loooong drive to Alabama. It was only a few hours into it when we decided that stopping for a break might be a good idea, so dear readers I present to you pee stop number 1:
This is where BW got to pet a dog and I was able to stretch my legs for a bit and then back on the road we were with the final destination of the day being Bowling Green Kentucky for a night at the Hampton Inn.
But between us and the inn was lot of driving ahead of us so we just drove and drove and enjoyed the many sights that the great american road trip has to offer us :
and then we finally arrived in Louisville and had some excellent Mexican Food at El Taco Luchador which we would have never have found if it was not for Yelp. That app along with Google Maps has pretty much saved our bacon this trip.
After dinner, we hopped back in the car, booked into the hotel and collapsed.
to be continued…

With the debut of the new BMW 2 Series Coupe, several speculations have popped up on the interwebs. One of them revolves around a future BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe model.
The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe aims to be a competitor to the Mercedes-Benz CLA and the A3 Sedan and it said to be built on the same platform as 2 Series Coupe but with some changes.
The 2 Series Gran Coupe will offer to customers the sleekness and design of a coupe with the practicality of a small sedan. BMW will place greater emphasis on the dynamics and typical BMW DNA when it comes to the design of the four-door coupe.
Sources say that the car has yet to be greenlighted and a potential market launch won't be scheduled until late 2015.
Under the hood, the 2 Series Gran Coupe will use the same powerplants as the coupe and convertible variants, a combination of four-cylinders in diesel and petrol. A high-end six-cylinder engine might be used for the 235i Gran Coupe.
In the mean time, let's enjoy the artist's renderings of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe.

I know it seems way early to be working on Halloween.....but it really is not....for designing.
I love working on my surface pattern designing skills.
Above is "Autumn fields".
I love scarecrows and fall....I love the orange pumpkins. To me the pumpkin is the big symbol of Halloween and fall...just love that time of year.
I wanted this collection....which I would love to make into fabric...to make you think of Halloweens in your childhood.
Those warm rays from the autumn sky....but a chill in the air.
This is how the collection looks together...in this color combo.
My scarecrow heads....
Pumpkins in the field
wheat ....so yellow and ready for harvest.
More pumpkins
and more wheat
Here is the same collection....different colors.
I like the black alot
sweet colors
I always wanted a white pumpkin....but I always buy orange ones.
Good contrast colors
Here is an idea of how they might look on products.
I would like them in a quilt however.
I still have to work on it....but I thought you might like to see these.

I was reading a column recently where the question was asked, "Can someone love you, yet cheat on you?"An interesting question! But what I thought was even more interesting was the answer. The answer went something like this. "That person may say they love you. But they were not practicing love."
Practicing love!
That got me thinking. We talk a lot about perfection and what a lie it is. And how destructive it is to believe that we are worthy of love and the life of our dreams only if we are perfect. So we've adopted Progress over Perfection.
I absolutely believe in taking small steps and progressing forward. I also believe we can get stuck and need help. However, there is a destructive lie buried within all this.
Lie: If I am not progressing, then I am failing.
No, no, no! That is not true. This brings to my mind a vision of a long, desert road stretching out before me. It's hot and I'm tired. Yet I take another step and another. Sweat dripping off me, worn out, shoulders hunched over. "I must keep going! I have so far to go. I must Progress."
This is not the correct vision of changing your life. We have it wrong. It is not a linear stretch of time laid out before us, taunting us with how far and how long we have to go until we reach that magical "someday".
We have ways of being before us in the present moment. We can practice violating ourselves and our bodies. Or we can practice self love and radical self care. We can do that right now. We do that with one choice.
For example, it is 5:24 p.m. as I write this. I have an evening stretched out before me and I'm getting hungry. I just made my veggie bowl recipe, enough for the week, but pizza sounds really good. I don't have to walk down any road, progress anywhere, or wait any period of time to make a choice that honors my life. I can do that right now.
When I make a choice that honors my life, I am practicing health, wellness, self care and self love.
Later in the week I might have a stressful day, triggering me out of the present and into my past story. Poor me, I am so stressed out, I need a donut. If I choose a donut, I will not be practicing self care. But it doesn't mean I've failed, or am not progressing. It doesn't even mean I am stuck. We are human, so we go back and forth between practicing self care and not. And it's OK.
Forgiveness is the same way. Haven't we all done work to forgive someone who hurt us, only to have it pop back up? Didn't we already forgive them? Have I now failed at forgiveness?
No. If the resentment comes back up, it just means we need to practice forgiveness once again. We have to get back in. I have a reminder above my desk at home where I write, that says, "Forgiveness is a Journey of a Thousand Times." It will come up again and again. And I can choose to practice resentment...or I can choose to practice forgiveness. Again and again.
Practice: the actual application of an idea or belief
If you want to forgive someone, do so right now with one choice. Then create the daily practice of forgiveness so that day after day, you know how to come back into it; how to practice forgiveness. It is right here for you.
If you want to honor your life and your health, then make a life-affirming choice right now! OK, you're in it. Now create the daily practice of life-honoring choices so that day after day, you know how to come back to it; how to practice it. It is right here for you.
It is not off in some distant future of trudging through dry land. You are in it. It is right here! Honor your practices. Create them mindfully. As you practice them more, and get better at coming back to the present moment instead of staring down the long road of Progress, you will change. You will be swimming in an ocean of grace, forgiveness and honoring your life. It is always right here, a breath away.
So next time the lie comes up - I have so far to go, it will take so long - claim the Truth. Take a deep breath in and claim your inherent worth. Because it is yours to claim right now.

I made the leap to Windows 8 a couple of weeks ago and for the most part I love it (even without a touch screen and in fact probably because I don't have a touch screen). Anyhow, everything works great except for a few minor things here and there and one of those problems was I could no longer get my shared printers on our corporate LAN to work any longer. Come to find out with some searching it is because the network location for my LAN was set to PUBLIC and not PRIVATE.
I was confused because this was an upgrade install and I thought it carried over all of my settings. Apparently not all Windows 7 settings play well with Windows 8.
Easy, I thought. Just need to go into Network and sharing center, click the link that says "Public" under the network name and be on my way. But wait a minute, there was no link embedded in the word Public. After quite a long time searching for an answer, it sort of fell in my lap and was a simple solution. Simple in actually implementing it, not so much when it comes to figuring out what the solution was.
So, if you are faced with this issue, here is the need-to-know on the subject.
Basically in Windows 8 you do not get a prompt for Public, Work, or Home when you connect to a new network (at least not that I have seen and this is what tripped me up). Instead, you get the question of "Do you want to turn on sharing" or something to that effect. Not thinking, I chose no, which caused this issue.
So here goes....
This can be done for both Ethernet and Wireless connections by the way.
If you want a Public Network, select "No, don't turn on..." and if you want a Private Network, select "Yes, turn on sharing...
As I went back and looked, I realized that it was very "user friendly" in terms of explaining exactly what each setting meant; however, I am an IT guy...I don't read that stuff! (well, maybe sometimes, but still). While it may seem like an easy fix, we all know that we tend to overlook the easiest solutions. So before you start reinstalling drivers and OS's, try this first.
Nice write up.
Thanks, I had ran into the same problem. I was trying to over think it. You had put together in a very straight forward explanation.
Very nicely presented. easy to follow. got mine solved! Thanks!
I had this problem at home and it was driving me nuts. Thanks for the succinct instructions (from a chronic over-complicator).
Yes, it s very simple but...in my case, it does not work. I explain : In my Win 8 enterprise edition flyout menu, the network is not "right clickable". Nothing happens...
The classic network control panel says that i am not connected to any network but i have a fully functionnal internet access and i can see shared volumes on the network as well as others computers and android devices can also see mines... I am quite puzzled.
Any clues ?
Thank you,
After making network changes. Reboot. Or at least that is how I was able to access the internet after turning sharing off on my wired adapter. Win 8
One question, how do I open my Windows 8 Fly-out?
Thank you, so helpful. We were having this problem too.
With Windows 8.1 Enterprise. Edition, I was able to switch from public network to private using windows explorer. Open Windows Explorer, and click on the Network Icon. When you do so, a notification message appears just below the address bar informing you that File Sharing is Turned Off. If you click on the message, you have the option to turn File Sharing On. If you click to turn file sharing on, it will ask if you want to Turn on File Sharing for all public networks; Here you select no, make this network private. You may need to disconnect from the network and reconnect for the new settings to take effect. Your network should now be private, with Internet Access.
Not to my liking. If I want to share, I want to share, private, personal, domain, whatever. Now the only way to stop it is to uncheck file and printer sharing from your network settings....(which works wonders by the way). Although Ive been doing that for a long time, it still seems a bit "forced". I lean in the security direction, so you see my point.
One more thing, just for kicks and giggles, try it bridged with two connections, one shared, one not....
Windows Key + X......remember to block that in group policy folks.....just while Im thinking about it....
What worked for me was going to the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles, select the right profile, change the 'Category' value to '1', and then reconnect.
For me, the network was not clickable, and the Windows Explorer network did not show any bars. Took some time to figure it out:
In the system flyout click Seetings, then "Change PC settings" (last option down below. You'd think that the network icon above would sufice :S )
Then you'll the see network and only by clicking it, you'll be able to see the option to turn sharing on.
What an interface. :-/
Is bizarre and toke me 3 week to understand!!!
is quite simple if you do not lower the user-account-control (UAC) from top (control panel -> user) you may not have the privilege to change the connection from public to private because simply if UAC is in top level you may not change the share status !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's why me and other people we do not find the share devices button or the right click do not work in the network page. Simply many from as have the UAC to top level.

I want to talk about the glories of the Savior, Jesus Christ. This is a deep and broad subject, one I love, and one I am passionate about. It is also a topic too easily lost in the noise of arguments about sundry doctrines; it is a subject easily besmirched by the ones who pledge love to Christ, eat his flesh and drink his blood, and then bite and devour one another. This discussion is necessarily incomplete - we are not yet in glory, and even there we shall never exhaust or comprehend the glories of our Savior.
Why is the glory of Christ such a big deal? It's a big subject! It is beyond comprehension: he laid it aside for us for a time! Conveniently, Paul explains this by way of an exhortation to Christian humility:
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2:5-11 ESV)
Jesus volunteered for a mission: to accomplish the salvation of sinners. This is an awkward construction, as acts of God outside time are poorly cast in the simple past tense, but since the Father chose to save some from eternity past, the Son volunteered (from eternity past) to accomplish (in history) the salvation, and the Spirit is sent (from eternity past) to apply to God's people this salvation (in time). Timely, no?
But we must conclude that Christ, the eternal son of God, laid aside glory in entering the world as a man, humbling himself. This is not simply a gesture, as Paul explains:
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
(interjection - note that Adam points forward to Christ - Christ is the reality, the antitype, the fulfillment - Adam was the shadow, the type, the promise)
But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Romans 5:12-21 ESV)
There is a symmetry of type and antitype, of sin and savior, of lock and key, as it were. To save the sons of Adam, Christ had to become one of them. He had to be numbered among the transgressors in order to qualify as their redeemer.
Adam in the garden was a picture. I have often been uncomfortable with (though I confess to having indulged in) speculations about life without a fall. If Adam had only obeyed, how lovely to see the city of God spread across the earth uninterrupted by sin and division! The church is such a poor shadow of what could have been a glorious growth...
But I forget the direction of the arrow. Adam points to Christ. Adam's disobedience was, in a careful sense, necessary for Christ's obedience. The picture of the perfect man in the perfect place falling into sin sets the stage for the reality of the perfect man in the fallen place conquering sin. Adam becomes the shadow on the dawn of the world, the thorn in the garden. Jesus is the light shining in a dark place, the Rose of Sharon in the desert. The symmetry is beautiful, and indeed glorious.
Paul is not the only one to speak of the glories of Christ:
I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
(John 17:4-5 ESV)
Jesus himself longs for the restoration of his glory - not selfishly, as a fallen king longs for restored dominion, but as you or I might long for home while yet on a long journey. We know it is where we belong - but it remains distant until the accomplishment of some task. Yes, Christ longed for heaven, and what's more, he longed for us to join him there:
Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
(John 17:24 ESV)
Jesus wants us to be with him in glory - to enjoy heaven with him, which is to say, to enjoy him and thus be in heaven! When does this occur? Not until the consummation of all things. Rev. 21 portrays - the New Jerusalem in the new heavens and the new earth where righteousness dwells - that is to be the home of God's people, and of God himself. But to Christ and the disciples in the upper room, this lies on the other side of the cross, of "it is finished", of the perfect fulfillment of the Scriptures.
Let's take stock: Adam points to Christ. Christ becomes man, laying aside glory. Christ longs to regain his glory, and share it with his people. Christ receives this glory, highly exalted to the right hand of the Father, after the fulfillment of Scripture in his death and subsequent resurrection and ascension.
What Scriptures are these?
Certainly we can point to all manner of ancient prophesies and promises pictures, and there are so many explicit Old Testament references in the New, many of them self-consciously adopted by Jesus himself or by the apostles - the Son of David (messianic claim), Son of Man (Adamic identity, also used in reference to Jacob's dream of angels ascending and descending from heaven), Son of God, (used by Nathan in the same discourse, also by the exalted Christ in revelation), King of Israel (parallel to Son of David), and more could be adduced, but let's propose:
Christ is fulfilling more than just Adam. Christ is fulfilling the whole history of Israel. Israel longed for a king, and here is David's greater son. Israel whored after other gods, Christ always does his Father's will. Israel failed to drive out the brimful-sinful nations, Christ conquers sin itself, taking the sting from death. Israel is dispossessed of the promised land in exile, Christ goes to prepare a place and receive us to our inheritance. The picture of Israel is symmetrically completed by Christ - where they fail, he succeeds, where they walked with grumbling, he holds forth the Word of God to Satan. After all, "Out of Egypt I called my Son".
And how does Christ earn his glory in the fulfillment of all these things?
For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.
(Hebrews 7:26-28 ESV)
Christ paid up. The debt is settled. That's half the bargain. The other half, more glorious, if that were possible, is that Christ clothes us with his own righteousness, and so adorns his own glory.
The author to the Hebrews goes on:
Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man. For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, "See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain." But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.
(Hebrews 8:1-7 ESV)
Again we return to the direction of the typological arrow! Adam points to Christ. Moses points to Christ. The warning given to Adam vented its fury on Christ. The curses that were promised to disobedient Israel fell on her true king. Grace alone remains for us, bought by the works of Jesus in his life and in his death.
We who are under grace get to taste glory. Galatians is written against those who would return to any form of works, of resting salvation on our own merit. But our salvation rests on merit. It rests on a firm and sure merit, because it is built on the Rock of Christ, and we must pay attention to meaning of the song of the seraphim who ever cry "WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN!"
There is no talk of merit where there is no legal basis. Adam did not merit life - he crossed the line drawn by God. The nation of Israel did not merit the land (the inferior promises in Hebrews 8) - they crossed the line drawn by God through Moses, and at the end of God's patience, were vomited out of it.
Christ underwent the penalty of the law of Adam - death. It has no more to say to him.
Christ underwent the penalty of the law of Moses - hanging on a tree, cut off from his people, forsaken by God. That law has no more to say to him.
Christ now offers us freely of the fruits of his victory, eating of the tree of life, inheriting the New Jerusalem, and living in the law of Christ, in the new commandment that is an old one, of loving God and loving our neighbor.
Sinai is gone. We have come to Mount Zion. Let us glory in the glory of our king.
Brief postscript: This hasty essay is broadly aimed at the "republication controversy" swirling in my denomination. It seems obvious that Jesus obeyed a law. What law? The law of Moses. What happened when Jesus obeyed that law? He merited heaven. I'm not clear why people get fussy when God chooses to set up covenants with both positive and negative stipulations. It's his prerogative, and Job may wisely remind us not to question his prerogative. It may be helpful to remember that God knows the end from the beginning, and his dealings with his people in the OT are done by way of example to us (as Paul in 1 Cor. 10:11 declares), though they are, for lack of a better term real dealings. Just because Adam was to be a counterpoint to Christ does not annul the real moral value of his actions. Just because Israel at Sinai was being set up to show the inescapability of personal and corporate moral failure and consequent need of true redemption does not nullify the reality of the Mosaic law and its true goodness for Israel. I have sought to argue from Scripture, but for those who, like me, are Presbyterian, I offer WCF Ch.8.5 "Of Christ the Mediator", which plainly declares that Christ purchased reconciliation and inheritance. There has to be a contract under which said purchase is made, and that contract is the Mosaic Law (as 8.4 indicates).
If I may venture a conjecture: I am concerned that the republication discussions are (perhaps unconsciously?) a stalking horse for a deeper question about the relationship of the Mosaic Law and the Christian - or more pointedly, the Mosaic Law and civil society - which seems motivated in many by an anxiety over what I'll loosely call "things nowadays". Thoughts?

Gas prices jump to $2.92 statewide Up 27 cents in Reno
RENO – Gasoline prices in Nevada are pacing the soaring price of crude oil internationally, rising 13 cents to an average of $2.92 a gallon statewide in the past month and up 27 cents a gallon in Reno alone.
"For the past few months gas prices have gone up everywhere but Nevada," AAA Nevada spokesman Michael Geeser said on Tuesday. "That trend has changed. Alaska and Hawaii aside, Nevada now shares the fourth highest average price for regular unleaded gas in the country."
Ahead of Nevada in the contiguous United States are California, Washington and Montana. Nevada is tied with New York. The national average is $2.76, up 3 cents for a gallon of regular unleaded.
In Nevada, Reno tops the list at $3.12 a gallon, followed by Sparks at $3.08, up 25 cents since the middle of last month. Carson City is right at the $3 mark, up 12 cents.
Las Vegas is the bargain in the state, up a dime to $2.81. Elko rose 2 cents over the past month to $2.92.
"This is generally the time of year when consumers get a break at the pump," Geeser said in a statement. "But wholesale prices are already about 10 cents higher based on futures trading which means the prices we all pay will no doubt move higher."
Crude oil prices are in record territory above $86 a barrel, driving up the cost of retail gas. The current price is more than $30 higher than February's cost per barrel.
Nationally, the gas bargain is $2.49 in Monmouth, N.J., Kansas City and St. Louis.
Nevadans planning a trip to Lake Tahoe would be wise to gas up before they leave. The steepest price in the lower 48 is $3.29 at Tahoe City, Calif.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Union Square Grill Restaurant Review: THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS CLOSED You may feel you've stepped into a colorized version of an old Astaire-Rogers flick when you enter this attractive and always bustling bar and restaurant, decorated with a 1930s-era art modern flair. Despite sleek curves, many mirrors and much frosted glass, there's a decidedly clubby, masculine aura suggested by the roomy chairs, intimate booths and dark, polished wood tables filling the plushly carpeted room. It's a space made for wheeling and dealing over meat and martinis. While seafood appears on the menu, meat meets with much more success. We like the rare prime rib, the juicy veal rib chop, hazelnut-crusted rack of lamb and steak Diane. Lobster bisque makes a fine, if rich, start. The wine list sticks to the West Coast, leaning predictably and appropriately to reds. Do save room for some creative desserts, as well as a classic cherries jubilee, flamed tableside, of course.

Recently When I were asked to review Beachbody Derm Exclusive Fill & Freeze Anti Wrinkle Treatment I was more than delighted to state "yes". I will admit I had declined Derm Exclusive at the time but I was running out of my skin care stuff and I figured it could not do any harm right? If nothing else I 'd get 30 days worth of skin care.
I didn't expect results as I simply assume all business will say anything to sell their product. So without expectations I dove right into my skin care plan. At first, it appeared like numerous actions so I was worried it take too long. I don't have a great deal of time with four kids running around.
I'm not sure if I should burn or grateful. You see, now I am hooked. By day 3, I was ready to compose my review. However, the deal was that I utilize the item for 30 days. Yet by day 3, my skin was already looking much better. Now, I am not stating "better" like "face lift" much better. My skin was softer, smoother, more even in color, and I saw my forehead expression lines soften.
I want you all knew how much I hate to discuss my forehead expression lines. For the past few years those lines have been bugging me. My kid once pushed Play Doh on my forehead and ever before so small imprints were in the Play Doh. Exactly what, you never made Play Doh molds of your face? Anyway, I would make use of other items and notice the lines soften but return as the day wore on. Nevertheless, with Derm Exclusive, they just softened. I would search in the mirror and not even want to sob or mimic the good ole days by pulling back my hair line to reveal a clean looking forehead. Can you say obsessed? I will confess, I had an issue. I HAD a problem. Play Doh test reveals the lines has lessened and are no longer the focal point of my face.
Let's discuss the items I checked.
The Am and PM Facial Cleanser: Just Love it! It's creamy, non drying, and smells great. I think the website discusses it is full of nutrients and has the capacity to clean make up and dirt away. It does get rid of your make up completely without drying your skin.
Age Defense Moisturizer SPF 30: A minor of this moisturizer goes a long way. That makes it a great value. It's creamy however not oily. It is thick however it is rapidly taken in by the skin. Unless you resemble me and utilize excessive and your face is practically white with cream.
Volume Lip Treatment SPF 15: ENJOY it! In fact, I like it so much I think my neighbors might hear the painful groan I gave off when I ran out. It was by far the best lip treatment or lip balm (it's not lip balm) that I have made use of. Those dry lines in your lips? Gone. Dry lips. Gone.
Micro Peel Resurfacing Pads: These pads are designed to reduce pores and exfoliate dead skin. You do not utilize this product daily. This action just takes seconds. If you are interesteded in the size of your pores than this will benefit you.
Extensive Repair work Serum: This is the item responsible for night out the skin and treating dark spots. It is supposed to imitate laser therapies. It's a light serum and once again only seconds to use.
Collagen Lift: This is the product that is responsible for dominating wrinkles by improving collagen manufacturing. Because I did see results in the fine lines on my face and the terribly deep crevasse lines of my forehead, I am giving this item a big kiss.
Fill and Freeze Wrinkle Treatment: LIKE LOVE LOVE it! My favorite item. This product is expected to imitate Botox. You twist the tube and gently brush it on problem areas such as the abyss lines in your forehead, crow's feet, laugh lines, and so on. It was a dark day when I lacked this product. Just like that dark day in history when Wham dispersed. I turned and turned till I can turn no more and nothing came out. I thought about getting an ax and breaking the tube for just one last drop. I actually can not even mention this item right now ... the unpleasant memories still exist.
I understand what you are thinking ... you are thinking "Am I genuinely anticipated to put all that on my face two times a day?" Are you worried that by the time you complete your AM regular it will already be time for your PM regimen? I have commitment issues and bad time management skills so I was worried about this. Generally, I am a three action skin care system gal. Often, not even that ....
I frequently skip action 3. However, the Derm Exclusive routine did not take any longer than a 3 (or 2) action system. It also revealed even more results than any other skin care system I have actually utilized in the past. I've made use of quite a bit for many years offering various cosmetics lines and having a fixation with avoiding crow's feet since I was 25. Too bad, I didn't think about my forehead then ... I don't have crow's feet.
In all significance, true charm originates from the inside out. Vain ventures will always fail if your mind is set against yourself. Nonetheless, it is not vanity to want to look your finest and take steps to keep a healthy appearance. To me, it makes no sense to enable your physical appearance to be compromised in name of not being vain. That coincides excessive behavior on the contrary side of the spectrum. Derm Exclusive is a tool to help you feel and look excellent about your look in a healthy method.
It does not take a great deal of time and it does show outcomes.
I utilize it in the early morning, applied my make up and forget about it. I delight in the bit of pampering in the evening to unwind and do something for myself after a long day of chasing after a kid, handling the rolling eyes of a teenager, hearing "I forgot" from an insane boy and pleas for attention from a derm exclusive fill & freeze wrinkle treatment .
Beachbody Derm Exclusive Fill Freeze Wrinkle Treatment Is A high quality product that I am really satisfied with! To find out more about Beachbody Derm I highly recommend to check out their site

Hi Rado,
that turkey looks superperfect fantastic! I have some ideas for cooking lamb in red wine and rosemary. Then in the last 20 minutes throw some rosemary into coals to make a smokey affect with rosemary aroma to be present. Do not know how it will go, will just have to try it.

Last week, I finally used my neon pink Speedball linocut ink for a night of rubbercut printing.
I used my rubbercuts from my printmaking class a year ago, one featuring a mermaid and a merbird, and another with a cat. It was a weekday and I usually try to sleep early on a weekday so I won't be a sluggish zombie at work the next day, but crafting all night is worth it!
I love how they say that when you do something you really love, you feel energized and filled with good vibes, despite the physical challenge (in this case, puyat), hehe.

|News of Dubi's move to
the Poppies has been
greeted with typical
restraint in St Ives
Just what we need!
- Another reason to annoy the incredibly angry St Ives fans.
- Another reason for the obsessed New-Scum supporters to rubbish us. "How dare Kettering Town sign players, when they went into a CVA? Unlike us, who went bust, and paid no-one anything, and happily set ourselves up as a new club, beautifully debt free..."
- Another Poppies player with a name to make my spell checker flip out!
I suspect Ken Samuel has had a hand in this......

With Airbourne just a week away, we're being assured RMT strike action won't stop visitors from coming to Eastbourne this year.
Last year, the event was dogged with industrial action from the RMT, in their long-running dispute with Southern, over the introduction of driver-only trains. Although the strike was called off at the last minute, Southern said they were unable to get a full complement of trains to run, owing to the short notice.
However, members of the union in Eastbourne have been telling Eastbourne Buzz, they won't let that happen again this summer:

Guest Post Snippet:
If you turn on the TV right now, I guarantee within 10 minutes you'll see a fast food commercial advertising a new product that can be best described somewhere between I would totally eat that if I'm drunk at 3am and I may vomit if I don't change the channel.
We've got Taco Bell literally combining tacos and burritos into one "thing," pizza places making cookie cakes the size of a large deep dish pizza and Starbucks wanting to line your intestines with glitter thanks to a Unicorn-themed beverage with more grams of sugar in it than I've had since 2013.
I'm not sure where you're reading from, but in the good ol' USA, bigger is better! More is better! That's just how we roll, apparently.
Aside from frankenfood items, cars, boats, bank accounts and houses, I've noticed a lot of people in the gym wanting to go big or go home. Opting for more of something, even when it can be a detriment to their health.
Despite the cliché stereotype jokes like the ones mentioned above, this is becoming an issue in training. People are pushing themselves to get better, bigger, stronger, faster, etc., which is great to see, but a lot of the execution is poor and counterproductive.
Here are some examples of when more is not better when it comes to your training and nutrition.

The Aphex Twin logo has been spotted in New York, on the same day a blimp carrying the image floated above London.
As reported, a blimp decorated in the Aphex Twin logo was spotted hovering above the Oval Space in Hackney yesterday (August 16). The airship also featured the digits "2014". Now, in a further development, the same logo has been spotted by fans outside Radio City Hall in New York. See below for pictures taken by onlookers in the city.

In June, fans of Aphex Twin (real name Richard James) purchased digital copies of his rare album 'Caustic Window' via a Kickstarter campaign. A physical copy of the record – which only reached the pressing phase in 1994 before being scrapped – was auctioned on eBay and sold for £27,198. Money raised from the sale was reportedly split evenly between those who paid into Kickstarter, James himself and an unnamed charity.
In 2010, James announced that he had completed six albums, as well as "loads of tracks which don't belong anywhere".
"Two are very non-commercial, abstract, modular-synthesis, field recordings – those I finished four years ago. Another one is 'Melodies From Mars', which I redid about three years ago," said James.
He added: "There's one of stuff I won't go into; a comp of old tracks. Which is never really finished and always changing; and then one I'm working on now. There are also loads of tracks which don't belong anywhere."
Despite this, a new record has not been forthcoming, with his most recent studio album, 'Drukqs', released in 2001.

For a long time, men have taken a particular interest in the size of their penis; with many of them believing that the bigger it is the better their sexual life will be. It comes as no surprise that most men would consider going for penis enhancement. There are many ways of making the size of the penis bigger. However, these methods of penis enhancement have their own advantages and disadvantages. Let's take a look at some of these methods.
Penis extenders have long been considered to be one of the best penis enhancement devices. They are small devices which are very easy to use. They work by using the force of traction to slowly extend the penis. For positive results, the extenders are usually worn for only a few hours every day. The force of the traction makes the cells in the penis to divide and thus enhance the size of the penis.
One advantage of this device is that it has been found to be very effective. It increases both the girth and length of the penis. The only disadvantage of this method is that you have to be patient while using it. This is because it does not provide results overnight and it takes some time before any changes can be noticed.
2. Penis enhancement supplements
There have always been several advertisements both on TV and radio about penis enhancement lotions and pills. These supplements are popular and the manufacturers claim that they enlarge the size of the penis provided you take them every day for a few months.
Manufacturers also claim that these supplements are made of natural ingredients and have numerous customer testimonials to show that they work. Medical experts however refute these claims saying that there is no evidence that shows they actually work. In fact, some of them are considered to be harmful. There are however a number of herbal pills which actually work. Unfortunately they are quite pricey and you have to do some research before purchasing them.
3. Penis surgery
Medical experts believe that the penis is two times the size that you see on your body. The other half is inside your body. The ligaments that hold the penis are severed during penis enhancement surgery. A bigger part of the penis will protrude out after the surgery. The results of the procedure are also permanent.
The penis can be further enlarged when liposuction is done at its base. The procedure can increase your penis by about one or three inches. This procedure however comes with some risks. Not only is it painful but it also carries the risk of getting an infection. Moreover, there is no guarantee that after the procedure you will be able to hold an erection.
4. Exercises
Penis enhancement exercises are sometimes known as jelqing. These exercises basically use a hand-over-hand technique to push blood from the base of the penis to the head. It is considered to be a safe method but it can lead to disfigurement, pain and scar formation. In addition, there is no conclusive evidence that shows this technique works to increase the size of the penis.

Are you tired of frantically searching for the latest polls from Ohio and Florida every presidential election?
Are you tired of corrupt Republican secretaries of state having more power than millions of voters when it comes to deciding who is "elected" President?
Have you taken up residence in a solid red state and grown tired of your vote not really mattering?
Then the following is for you.
I won't bore you with discussing various methods that have been proposed for reforming the Electoral College. If you would like a fairly thorough review, you can go here.
While abolishing the electoral college and moving to a direct election via popular vote may be the most "populist" method of solving the problems created by the Electoral College, I am not a believer in that method because it is contrary to what is essentially a mandate by the Founding Fathers that the states as a collective are responsible for electing the President. Because of this, I am a supporter of maintaining state delegations. But I am interested in ensuring that all the voters of each individual state are represented when it comes to electing the president.
With that in mind, I would like to introduce you to the proposal put before the voters of Colorado in the 2000 Presidential election. This measure--Amendment 36--would have split Colorado's Electoral Votes proportional to the percentage of the popular vote.
This measure was rejected by the citizens of Colorado. The main argument used by the opponents of the measure was that splitting Colorado's electoral votes when every other state (with the exception of Nebraska and Maine, both of which grant 2 electoral votes automatically to the state winner and award an additional vote to the winner of each Congressional District) used winner take all, would make Colorado irrelevant for the purposes of Presidential campaigning.
The way the system works is very simple, and is described in the PDF linked above. In short, the vote total for each candidate's percentage of the popular vote is multiplied by the number of electors to which the state is entitled. The resulting number is then rounded to the nearest whole number to yield the total number of electors for each candidate.
If the sumtotal of those numbers is more than the electors the state is entitled to, the candidate receiving the fewest votes has their number of votes reduced until there's a match. Similarly, if the total number of rounded votes is too few, the candidate receiving the most votes receives additional votes until one matches.
To me, this proportional representation system seemed fascinating--so I tabulated the data for the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections, and calculated what the results would have been if the whole country had been using the Amendment 36 system:
(YOU MUST HAVE MICROSOFT OFFICE WEB COMPONENTS TO VIEW THESE PAGES, SO TRY VIEWING THIS IN IE. If you don't, email me at the address in my profile and I will be happy to send them to you. If you have Microsoft Excel and you want to save the spreadsheets locally, just hit the button that looks like a pencil with the Excel logo on it to open the spreadsheet up in Excel. Also, the 2000 sheet says 2004, but should say 2000. They are the 2000 results, and I'll fix that very soon.)
The information presented here is in sequential order. First comes the total votes cast in each state, followed by the total number of votes for each major candidate. That is followed by the rounded number of votes for each candidate, followed in turn by a display of whether the combined votes for each candidate is greater than, less than or equal to the total number of votes to which the state is entitled. The adjustment and necessary correction is then displayed, followed by the final total.
IN ADDITION: I have included an experimental modification to the Amendment 36 system, which I have called the "Hekebolos adjustment." I thought it was rather unfair that, in states whose electoral votes were evenly split according to the Amendment 36 system, the candidate who won the state received no advantage for doing so. To that end, in those situations I have added one vote for each candidate who won such a state and made a corresponding subtraction to the candidate who lost it. The total results with the "Hekebolos adjustment" are also shown.
The results are fascinating—to me, anyway. And it proves that the initiation of such a system would go a long way toward fixing what's wrong with our Presidential election system.
As the spreadsheet shows, the 2004 results are rather conclusive: Bush beats Kerry 278-260 using this system (274-264 if you factor in my special adjustment), and whether or not there was rampant fraud in Ohio and Florida doesn't change the nature of the results by any more than a couple of votes. What does matter, though, is Democratic turnout in other states.
Let's take California, for instance. In 2004, if the Amendment 36 system had been used, Kerry would have only received 31 of California's 55 electoral votes, compared to Bush's 24. In 2000, by contrast—as the results in the other link show—Gore would have received 8 more votes than Bush in California, despite only 54 votes being available and Nader taking 2 electoral votes that otherwise would have gone to Gore.
The data is ripe for this type of analysis, but it clearly demonstrates that one problem the Democratic party had in 2004 was a myopic focus on Ohio and Florida that no doubt hurt voter turnout in California and other places—something that hurts the party when it comes to local races in competitive areas of safe states.
The 2000 results are significantly more interesting—using the Amendment 36 system, Gore wins with 269 votes, with 265 votes going to Bush and Nader taking 4 votes: 2 in California and one each in New York and Massachussetts. With the Hekebolos adjustment, the race becomes even tighter, with Bush and Gore each receiving 267 votes, leaving Nader with his 4 votes.
Some might say that this perfectly illustrates the problem with Ralph Nader's campaign in 2000 because the "damage" can be measured in actual electoral votes that would have gone to Gore otherwise. While I was not and am not currently a Nader supporter and I proudly voted for Gore in 2000, I can tell you in no uncertain terms, however, that the amendment 36 system allows for third-party candidates to represent themselves without throwing an election in either direction: if you have an instant runoff in the Electoral College, Gore still wins the presidency, presuming that Nader's electors pick Gore as their second choice.
Let's take a similar example from the 1992 election. In 1992, Bill Clinton won Montana. That's right. Montana, which went for Dole in 1996 and voted for Bush overwhelmingly in 2000 and 2004, helped elect Bill Clinton to his first term. The reason he did? Because Ross Perot received over 100,000 votes in Montana, rivaling Bush Sr.'s 144,000 and Clinton's 154,000. And you can bet that if Perot hadn't been in the race, Bush Sr. would have carried Montana rather easily and received the 3 votes there. But using the Amendment 36 system, it would have ended up being up to the Perot's Montana elector (he would have gotten an electoral vote there!) whether to vote for Bush or Clinton in the runoff, rather than just throwing the state to Clinton.
So much for fairness for the voters. What about politics, you may ask?
Well, the advent of this type of electoral college reform would actually be good political news for Democrats for several reasons.
First and foremost, in the electoral college, the "red states" are gaining clout and the "blue states" are losing it. If you took the exact same electoral map of 2000 and applied it to the 2004 election, Bush would have received 284 electoral votes instead of the 271 he received in 2000. The fact is that the current outlook of the electoral college does not favor Democrats, but the vote of the people can continue to stay at its current balance, if not shift toward Democrats. The current methodology of presidential elections all but ensures that it will be very difficult—especially after the next census in the 2012 election—for Democrats to put their candidate in the Oval Office.
In addition, the myopic focus on the swing states, at the expense of everywhere else—as played out in the battle for control between Dean and Pelosi—is costing the Democrats on all sides, as has been well attested—especially with regard to local development and Congressional races. That myopic focus has been the result entirely of an accident of the Electoral College—and if that "necessity" is removed, the Democrats will have much more incentive to build the base of the party in all regions, which will help our growth in the long term.
It will, of course, be nearly impossible to get any type of reform accomplished. After all, no state will act alone, which means that the only way to push this type of reform through is with a Constitutional Amendment—and fat chance of getting the Republicans to support something that gives them an electoral challenge. But I wanted to throw out some ideas and some data, and see what you all think.
So tell me what you think.

It is no secret to anyone that technical innovation has not advanced recently. Contrary to popular belief, technological breakthroughs are not necessarily the result of the work of a couple of crazy geniuses, but rather changes have been brought about by those few who have access to resources and platforms. The truth is that most innovations occur thanks to the implication of individuals and small groups. Large organizations depend on a small team of individuals to solve a particular problem. Most of the time, the ideas that they come up with actually lead to business growth. But what if the organization were to bring the best people together? The outcome would be business creation and modernization. The latest strategy for innovation is represented by crowdsourcing. It seems that the way people communicate has had a great impact on both innovation, reason why the crowd is slowly becoming the number one choice for businesses.
Crowdsourcing basically means that a company or an institution takes the function that was once reserved exclusively for employees and distributes it to a network of people. Innovationsmanagement is possible thanks to certain tools that are able to collect the ideas of customers, employees or partners. As new as the idea may sound, it is actually not. The fact is that the practice of crowdsourcing has been used for centuries. The reason why crowdsourcing is more popular now than in the past is that the Internet has facilitated interactions between people. The Internet allows one to communicate with people coming from different cultural or economic backgrounds and drive innovation. However, managers tend to be cautious when it comes to resorting to this type of Ideenmanagement because sometimes it can be risky to leave the process of problem solving to a group of strangers. Probably the main fear is that they will lose their intellectual property. On the other hand, companies who are reluctant to refuse crowdsourcing are actually losing an important opportunity. The interaction of companies with crows has proven to be successful over the years. Regardless of the area, crowds will definitely outperform any internal organization.
Although some companies refuse to use crowdsourcing to drive innovation, the number of those who do is increasing. Crowdsourcing can be used for various purposes, such as creating a new application or for gathering feedback. Being able to collect amounts of data from customers and employees is crucial for efficient problem solving and saving costs. A good crowdsourcing software will not compromise the reputation of the company and the ideas can be later on presented to shareholders in the process. The more data that is collected, the more returns on the investment. Whether they realize it or not, every business uses the crowd in a way or the other. Even if companies may refuse to acknowledge the advantages of consulting a network of people, the competition does and this will have a great impact on the revenues of the business. Co-coordinating the efforts of the masses can offer something different for a business and it might be the smart solution to solving problems.

Inside we were greeted with tastes of roasted pork, braised kale, aged cheddar, and spiced aioli. 'wichcraft is the real deal in gourmet sandwiches. All ingredients are seasonally fresh, and thoughtfully sourced. The poultry is free-range, antibiotic-free chicken from a family-owned farm in upstate New York. The pork comes from a Berkridge Farms, a cooperative of 18 family farms, where the pork is purebred and raised naturally.
We were all quite pleased to greet the return of a few old favorites:
- meatloaf tomato relish, bacon & aged cheddar on ciabatta roll
- aged gruyère roasted onions on grilled rye
- roasted pork coppa, pickled pepper relish & fontina on grilled country bread
And excited to try two new creations:
- roasted mushroom frittata spinach, shallots & aged cheddar on ciabatta roll
- free-range roasted chicken braised kale, pickled vegetables & spiced aioli on ciabatta roll
The sauce combinations are carefully selected. Don't expect mustard or mayo as an automatic addition to these tasty concoctions. Relishes, an aioli, and sometimes just warm melted cheese dress up these pairings. Each sandwich comes together with high quality fresh bread - rye, ciabatta, or country bread. Our group favored the mushroom frittata and the meatloaf. Stop by one of the five 'wichcraft kiosks in the park to try them today.
