Where Do American Unions Go From Chattanooga?
Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) — I asked Rich Yeselson, a former union strategist and author of this excellent article on the United Automobile Workers' failed effort to unionize a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to answer a few questions, via email, about the meaning of the Chattanooga vote and the future of unionism in the U.S. Here is a lightly edited transcript.
Question: Who lost in Chattanooga last week? The UAW? Volkswagen? The plant workers?
Answer: The UAW was clearly the big loser. Its long-term project to break through at a foreign automaker's Southern plant failed again — this time with a carefully wrought strategy and the company, effectively, on its side. Victories in social struggle signify competence and power; failure their opposite. So this makes every other organizing campaign that much tougher. The Chattanooga plant is an anomaly for VW, but it will be fine. As for the workers, a union (and the works council that would have come with it) would have given them a collective voice in the workplace on every major issue. But the majority voted no– we'll see if they later regret that vote.
Q: Did workers at the plant conclude that the union is so weak in this economy that joining it can't provide real benefits? If so, is that perception correct?
A: We don't know that for certain yet, but some anecdotal post-vote evidence seems to indicate that a lot of the "no" voters didn't think the UAW had much juice anyway, so why join them? The workers saw the two-tier wage structure — with starting wages in Detroit now similar to non-union starting wages in the South — that the UAW accepted at the Big Three auto companies after the recession. They saw the UAW's obvious eagerness to project a tone of cooperation with VW, rather than hint at any productive antagonism.
Capital mobility obviously weakens labor's economic leverage in the manufacturing sector, where facilities can be moved to lower-wage countries. (That's why the German and Japanese companies moved to the low-wage South in the first place.) The paradox, however, is that if workers reject the UAW because of its perceived weakness, then the UAW might disappear altogether. If it does, the transplant companies in the South will feel no obligation to sustain wages and benefits, which are comparable to the union rate precisely in order to keep unions out. So the vulnerability of the union could become the vulnerability of the workers who disdain the union, too.
Q: Is it right to view this as another landmark on a long, hard road to irrelevance? Or do you see anything positive for the UAW or unions in general to extract from this?
A: It's trite to say, but history really is unknowable — we can declare something a defeat, but we can't yet know if it's a landmark. In the early 1930s, John L. Lewis was beset by enemies within the mineworkers union, and was being booed and insulted by his own membership when he tried to speak. By 1937, he was on the cover of Time magazine, the leader of a massive and growing labor movement and the second most powerful person in the country.
The UAW and labor, broadly, can relearn one important lesson from this defeat: Working people, through the institutions of unions, can potentially still throw a lot of economic, political and cultural weight around. And that worries economic and political elites. The almost hysterical conservative leadership of Tennessee, including U.S. Senator Bob Corker, fears the power of unions. If unions were truly "irrelevant" there wouldn't have been so much anxiety coursing through the low-wage South that the UAW might win, and that a win might lead to other wins. But the workers have to want to unionize, even if they are being intimidated. Otherwise Corker will rest easy.

Pages: 180 pages, paperback
Series?: Standalone
Acquired: Purchased myself
Summary (from Goodreads): Sam knows that he and his friend Lloyd made a colossal mistake when they accepted the ride home. They have ended up in a dark mansion in the middle of nowhere with man who means to harm them. But Sam doesn't know how to get them out.
They were trapped, then separated. Now they are alone. Will either of them get out alive? This gripping and hypnotic thriller will have you reading late into the night.
My review: Wow. The Long Weekend is probably the biggest shock of any book I've read this year. I will admit I bought it because it wasn't too pricey and the cover worried me that it was similar to my work in progress - luckily, that wasn't the case at all. It's an absolutely thrilling story that will have you on the edge of your seat from page one. Honestly, it's terrifying.
I've read a few reviews from younger readers (early teens) who didn't find this book particularly scary but older readers definitely seem to be more freaked out by it. For me it really did freak me out. I imagine for parents it's absolutely horrific so, be warned, if you have kids of your own this one will definitely scare me.
Both Lloyd and Sam are brilliant characters. Their contrasting personalities complement each other perfectly, with Lloyd as the popular, confident boy and Sam being a little more reserved at the beginning of the novel. However, when they're placed in their nightmare situation their true personalities really come out - we see a complete role reversal, with previously quiet Sam taking charge and doing everything in his power to help himself and his best friend escape. Do they escape, though? Well, that's something you'll have to find out for yourself.
I would exercise a little caution before picking this one up if you're easily unsettled, or if you're a younger reader. This book is fantastic, I loved every page and it completely shocked me - I definitely didn't have particularly high expectations and it really blew me away. Some of the subject matter is quite dark and some seriously disturbing things are alluded to - it's all very, very subtle and cleverly done, I almost didn't pick up on it.
This is one of the best horror books I've read this year - while it isn't necessarily marketed as a horror I would count it as one. There's nothing supernatural going on here, just a good old-fashioned scary story. Brilliant stuff.
First line: 'It's tough being the new kid, but when you're not the only one it's not so bad.'

I've seen a lot of posts recently advising authors to stay away from social media, that it's a time-waster, a drain on them, and that it actually doesn't help sell books.
I can't be bothered finding them, but there have been studies done that say spamming your internet followers with advertising for your books (or other products) actually achieves nothing.
However, out of interest the other day I went to the website of an up-and-coming romance publisher, and they spell out a laundry list of rules prospective authors must be willing to sign up for.
One – disturbingly in this day and age – was that authors must agree to ONLY publish with them.
The other one was that they refuse to publish anyone who doesn't have a huge social media presence.
Perhaps in a few years we'll be laughing that authors didn't think social media was important, but right now I find that rule utterly ridiculous, and extremely unfair to writers.
Here's the thing: authors who advertise their books on Twitter or Facebook often lose me as a follower or a friend. Additionally, many authors' social media accounts are also their personal accounts. They're more than just their books. Twitter spamming achieves zero sales, according to many sources, and I believe them. I have never, not once, EVER bought a book from Twitter advertising.
Interestingly, Facebook routinely goes through and suspends accounts that aren't under people's legal names, and many an author with a penname has been caught out by this.
A lot of readers don't want to know about their authors' lives. Sometimes with good reason. A number of authors have lost me as a reader because of some of the things they've said on social media.
What's crazy is that plenty of bestselling authors don't use social media, or if they do it's infrequently. A look at the Twitter accounts of the likes of Robyn Carr (last posted in June) and Cindy Gerard (posted once since April) show me they don't need to tweet nonsense all day to be good at their jobs.
I get that smaller publishers want to get exposure, but threatening your authors and tying them into crazy contracts doesn't seem the way to build a quality business.

We use cookies to help make LingQ better. By visiting the site, you agree to our cookie policy.
LingQ yra daugiau nei tik paslauga - tai bendruomenė. Štai ką mūsų nariai sako apie savo praleistą laiką LingQe.
Vakar aš buvau "Barnes and Noble" knygyne ir mačiau vargšelę merginą, kuriai būtų reikėja vežimėlio, kad parsineštų visas Ispanų kalbos veiksmažodžių ir žodyno knygas, kurias ji ruošėsi pirkti. Aš paklausiau, ar ji dar tik pradeda mokytis Ispanų kalbos. Aš maniau, kad ji galbūt yra mokytoja ir perka šias knygas savo mokiniams. Tačiau ji atsakė, kad pirmą kartą ruošiasi mokintis savarankiškai, taigi aš įsiterpiau. Pasakiau jai padėti visas knygas atgal ir pasiėmus gabalėlį popieriaus užsirašyti www.LingQ.com, pasakiau jai, kad kalbu laisvai ispaniškai, bet deja išmokau tuo būdu, kuriuo naudotis galvojo ir ji.
Aš taip pat pasidalinau tuo, kad naudojuosi šia sistema mokantis prancūzų ir kiniečių kalbų ir išmokau daugiau nei per 10 metų mokantis oficialiose Ispanų kalbos klasėse. Ji padėjo visas knygas atgal ir išėjo galvodama apie mokymąsi su LingQ. Tai privertė mane šypsotis, nes ji iškeitė pilną nerimo mokymąsi su glėbiu knygų į galingą, natūralų būdą išmokti kalbos, kuriuo aš su ja pasidalinau. Tiesą sakant aš nenoriu išstumti "Barnes and Noble" knygyną iš verslo, bet aš daug labiau nenoriu, kad ji žlugtų mokydamasi tuo būdu, kuriuo buvo išmokyta. Tikiuosi Jums patiko!
Minneapolis, USA
Iš pradžių aš noriu padėkoti žmonėms, kurie sukūrė LingQ sistemą. Daug kartų bandžiau tęsti anglų kalbos mokymąsi, bet vienintelis būdas, kurį žinojau, buvo gramatikos ir žodyno mokymąsis, todėl tai visada baigdavosi nesėkme. Tai buvo nuobodu ir aš nelaikiau to tobulėjimu bei todėl nemačiau jokio teigiamo poveikio mano anglų kalbos kompetencijai..
Aš taip pat bandžiau klausytis angliškų filmų arba televizijos naujienų, bet tai taip pat buvo nelabai veiksminga, nes aš nesupratau viso konteksto, o tie dalykai, kuriuos aš suprasdavau, išlikdavo tie patys. Kai pirmą kartą atradau LingQ, anglų kalbos mokymasis tapo viliojantis. Aš mėgaujuosi anglų kalbos mokymusi ir nenoriu pasilikti visko tik sau. Jei tai veikia puikiai, aš noriu pasidalinti tuo ir su savo draugais.
Stambulas, Turkija
Tiesą sakant, aš esu žemesnių klasių studentas Amerikos vidurinėje mokykloje (mokausi ispanų kalbos jau trečius metus) ir dar negaliu kalbėti ispaniškai. Aš pradėjau rimtai naudotis LingQ prieš 4 mėnesius. Dabar galiu susikalbėti (ne visiškai laisvai, bet gana gerai) su savo draugais (aš gyvenu pietų Teksase, todėl čia yra daug kalbančiųjų ispaniškai, su kuriais galima kalbėtis arba jų klausytis).
Man juokinga, kad mokiausi mokykloje du su puse metų ispanų kalbos ir nepadariau jokios pažangos (mano semestro vidurkis šioje klasėje yra 97), o mokydamasis LingQe tik 4 mėnesius padariau didžiulę pažangą!!!
Taigi, aš tikiu, kad mokymosi namuose metodai veikia DAUG geriau, bent jau man. (Gaila, kad jie neturi LingQ klasės mokykloje). LingQ padėjo man mėgautis kalbos mokymusi, kai, tuo tarpu, mokykloje aš negalėjau to pakęsti. Aš planuoju mokytis daugiau kalbų su LingQ ateityje. Aš negaliu išliaupsinti jūsų sistemos pakankamai!!!
P.S. Ačiū, kad sukūrėte LingQ!
Corpus Christi, Texas, USA
Nuo tada, kai paskutinį kartą kalbėjomės prieš du mėnesius, sugebėjau padėti 6 mano draugams ir tėčiui užsiregistruoti į LingQ! Jie visi yra sužavėti šios svetainės ir iš naujo atrado aistrą kalboms po 7 metų praleistų mokykloje ją gesinant su monotoniškais supratimo pratimais ir nuobodžiomis mokymo programomis. Aš ką tik baigiau skaityti tavo knygą, Lingvisto kelias (The Way of the Linguist), ir galiu pasakyti, kad ji labai įkvepia. Mane asmeniškai domina patekimas į (Britų) Diplomatinę Tarnybą ir todėl man buvo labai įdomus skyrius apie Kanados Diplomatinę Tarnybą. Paskutinis skyrius kelyje į kalbų mokymąsi pakeitė mano kalbos mokymosi būdą ir aš jau dabar pastebiu rezultatus, nors naudojuosi jais tik apie savaitę. Ačiū už viską, ką padarėte skatindami tokius kalbų mokinius kaip aš.
Dar vienas įrašas... įrodymas, kad LingQ veikia, yra tai, kad aš dabar studijuoju intensyvioje Portugalų kalbos klasėje mano universitete (UC Berkeley). Tai kursas pažengusiems, kurie žino kitas romanų kalbas, bet dar tik pradeda mokintis portugalų. Taigi, šis kursas yra labai intensyvus ir žinomas kaip labai sunkus. Daugeliui studentų sunkiai sekasi šiame kurse, tačiau dėl to, kad per vasarą mokiausi savarankiškai portugalų LingQe, man puikiai sekasi susidoroti su egzaminais, skiriant tik labai mažai arba iš viso neskiriant laiko darant bereikšmias užduotis ir pratimus, kuriuos jie nori, kad padarytumėme. Tiesiog susipažinimas su kalba daug skaitant ir klausant suteikė man beveik natūralią intuiciją, kas yra "teisinga" šioje kalboje. Taigi, aš galiu turėti puikius pažymius netgi nesimokinant! Tai puikus dalykas man ir mano pažymių vidurkiui, bet bendrai, aš manau, kad tai įrodo, kad klasės yra nereikalingos!
Kalifornija, JAV
Aš nesu tikra kam reikia rašyti, tačiau aš turiu Jums pasakyti kokia nuostabi yra ši svetainė. LingQ yra neįtikėtinas. Aš mokiausi kalbų jau gana ilgai ir naudojau daugybę skirtingų metodų, tačiau šis yra pats geriausias.
Tempe, AZ
Tiesiog noriu pasakyti, kad aš neabejotinai myliu jūsų programą. Aš atradau LingQ Youswoop svetainejė. Jie pasiūlė 6 mėnesių atnaujinimą už daug žemesnę kainą. Prieš perkant, nutariau pražvelgti LingQ svetainę. Aš buvau labai nustebusi, kai sužinojau, kad svetainė yra visiškai nemokama! Man visada buvo sunku mokytis naujos kalbos ir greitai prarasdavau norą ar kantrybę. Po 1 dienos naudojimosi šia programą, aš tiesiog užsikabinau. Buvo smagu ir aš vis sugrįždavau atgal. Aš iškart nuėjau į Youswoop ir įsigijau atnaujinimą. Man patinka mokymosi įrankių įvairovė ir programėlė mano androidui, kad galėčiau mokytis keliaujant! Aš dabar mokausi Ispanų kalbos, bet negaliu sulaukti, kol pradėsiu mokytis kitų. Ir toliau dirbkite taip šauniai. Aš lauksiu ir tolimesnės puikios kokybės bei ateinančių patobulinimų! Ačiū!
Frankfort, Illinois
頑張ってください! Honestly even after living in Japan for many years and I tried everything. It was LingQ that really gave me the skills and confidence I needed to be confident in my skills. I even ended up working in a Japanese company where nobody spoke English. So you can do it!
Saitama, Japonija
Labai ačiū už šią nuostabią svetainę. Aš tikrai mėgaujuosi kiekviena pamoka. Be to aš galiu pagerinti mano kalbėjimo įgūdžius taip greitai. Visi turėtų apie Jus žinoti, vaikinai. Aš nusiunčiau nuorodą savo broliui ir paskatinau prisijungti. Jis naujokas. Tačiau aš tikiu, kad jo anglų kalbos žinios netrukus taps geresnės.
Aš buvau ESL mokytoja vienerius metus bei mokiausi Korėjiečių kalbos 6 pastaruosius mėnesius ir turiu pripažinti, kad po daugelio ieškojimų ir įvairių dalykų išbandymo, kaip ir kiti, aš supratau, kad lingq yra geriausias pagalbinis įrankis kalbos mokymęsi. Galėjimas pasirinkti/įkelti savo turinį yra labai didelis pranašumas lyginant su kitomis mokymosi sistemomis. Tai suteikia pasirinkimo laisvę mokiniui. Taip pat Greita pažangos peržiūra yra ta vieta, kurioje galima pasisemti motyvacijos. Man patinka matyti savo statistiką ir palyginti ją su kitais nariais, kurie mokosi lingq. Tai užveda mane tobulėti, kaip ir sekti savo mokymosi pažangą (aš nušvintu, kai pamatau, kad įvykdžiau savo tikslus arba, iš kitos pusės, žinau, kada buvau per daug atsipalaidavęs ir turiu susiimti). Dienos pabaigoje, žinau, kad lingq veikia, nes galiu matyti savo pažangą per žodžių skaičių ir jo nuolatinį didėjimą.

I spend about 80% of my study time just listening to content from the LingQ library, while cooking. The rest of the time I spend at the site, reading and reviewing words. In one year my TEOIC score improved from 500 to 800 points
Seven years ago, I took Toeic for the first time. Because my husband's company encourages all the employees to learn something that interests them, he chose to study English. After finished his course, he took Toeic to make sure how much his English improved. I don't remember his result, but my score was somewhere around 550. ( My major was English in college.)
Two years ago, after giving birth to my second baby, I felt like studying English again. I started to buy magazines for English learners. It was helpful to increase vocabulary but I forgot most of them before long. Then I searched on the Internet better ways to learn English. I wanted to listen to real conversations between native speakers, not news. Then I came across the Linguist (now LingQ) and decided to join. Since then, I enjoy English every day. There are various kinds of contents in the Library section. I just pick up a content which interests me. It is fun to look up new words in the dictionary because I choose it and want to understand what the speakers are talking about. It really makes me feel satisfied when I have gotten all the meaning of new words. After that, I listen to the same content many times while cooking and doing household chores. Sometimes I am mumbling some phrases in the kitchen, so it looks weird.
This year, I took Toeic for the first time in seven years. My score was 800. It was amazing. I didn't expect that much. I like English but I don't want to study English for exams. I didn't do anything for Toeic this time. I believe the LingQ will lead me to 900 points of Toeic.

In Brazil we have 7 years of English, twice a week in schools (from 11 to 17 years old). From 13 to 17 I had another English course in parallel to the school one, with 3 more hours a week. I've been always considered an excelent student, and my grades were around 90-100%. I liked English, and I've been always fascinated by the idea that some day I would be able to understand a movie, read a book or speak fluently. But it never happened… my English was barely enough to read technical papers that I needed for my professional developement. And even though, the first time my undergraduate advisor asked me to read a 5 page technical paper, I spent almost one month to be able to give him an answer about it. The worst thing is not spending 6 to 10 years studying. The most terrifying fact is that in the end of all this, you can't do almost anything real with the language. Last year, I angrily decided I would study English alone every single day until I became fluent. I was always searching for material in the Internet, but I didn't know exactly how to use them. Then, two months after I made my decision I found the LingQ site, started to use it and learned more in 10 months then in the 25 years before that. Now I write tech papers, and not only have them accepted for publishing, but praised because they are well-written. So, I have no doubt that Steve has found the right method for language learning and that the most majority of language teachers simply don't know what they are doing. Although I feel I'm not done with English yet, I'm very happy with my development, but very outraged too, when I think people are still being submitted to such useless old methods, when there are so many evidences that they simply don't work at all.
Yesterday I had my interview. Despite of my flu and the terrible sound quality on the phone, I did it. I talked a lot (40 minutes!), about my work, my personal life, my plans for the future, my professional goals (thanks, Helen!!), leadership and role models.
What an experience! Although I don't know if the interviewer liked my answers, I'm sure she could understand them, despite of the minor mistakes I'm sure I made. I ended the interview very happy and proud of myself. So, I would like to thank you all for your conversations and encouragement last week. A special "thank you" for you, Steve, who is the responsible for bringing this wonderful learning tool called LingQ into reality!

Hi Steve,
I am allowing myself to write you in French since I heard your radio interview and your French is impeccable! I discovered your blog and I congratulate you on your initiative. Your blog and the LingQ method are inestimable resources. You leave the beaten path, you are an innovator (which is not always easy in the very traditional world of language learning ...). My hat's off! I intend to buy your book. I am fascinated by your findings!
I am coach of French as a second language in Montreal: www.enjoyspeakingfrench.com. I rarely teach grammar as such. (I had to find another word for teacher or tutor to describe what I do). I adapt to my clients, their needs, their problems (most of my clients have studied for several years in traditional schools before coming to me. They are rarely beginners, but they are literally blocked). I create dynamic learning plans with them and I recommend resources and activities appropriate to their learning style, their objectives, way of life. I discover what is blocking their learning and I help them to no longer fear speaking French. (It's a real fear for many people who have been terrorized by the study of grammar.) I help them forgot about perfection and take small risks in their communication each day and to believe in their potential. My mission is to unlock people's potential to speak French !
In Montreal, there are many people who take french courses for years, but never really learn to speak, to integrate the knowledge gained into their everyday life (on my website you will find an article about this in the News section). The content of your video blogs are very inspiring (my experience and my personal observations led me to the same conclusions regarding language learning). I will be speaking about + you and warmly recommending your approach to all my clients. I will soon upload a series of videos on Youtube, and I will be encouraging people to visit your blog and use LingQ, if you do not mind!
Thank you for your efforts. You really do superb work, Steve. That is admirable. Thank you very much!

I have been enrolled at the site since the end of July in order to master English, my first priority. This is very easy because of the almost unlimited content we find at LingQ. In short, the site is fantastic. I have gained confidence in myself and I improve every day. Whereas I used to think that "me and English" was a lost cause. Well, I'd better get back at it!

As a language freak I have invested a lot of time and money in language learning materials during the last ten years and, for me, NO system is as complete as LingQ. A full Pimsleur course can cost up to US$900 (per language) and leaves the learner with a limited vocabulary. LingQ, however, genuinely offers the opportunity for the user to MASTER as many as 10 languages. The site offers a range of content, direct translation of new words, access to tutors, help with writing and speaking and a network of supportive fellow language learners. The best thing about the LingQ system is that there is a range of content, so you can always work with content that interests and motivates you.
From the standpoint of someone "in the business" (I've been a college professor of German for 20 years), I'm afraid that Steven Krashen's ideas, while being received initially with some enthusiasm, have been largely ignored (or at best given lip service) both by textbook publishers and writers and by those of us engaged in the classroom. As a foreign language teacher who appreciates these ideas (and uses them – I'm learning Russian with LinqQ and have taught myself other languages, pre-LingQ, following a similar learning philosophy and method – I've been deeply impressed at how Steve (Kaufmann) has appropriated these somewhat theoretical ideas into this website to a far greater extent than it has been done in the profession. As a teacher, I am now constantly challenged to remake my classroom in order to do the same. About 7 years ago, I realized that if I were someone wanting to learn German, I'd never take my own class, and since then I've been experimenting.
By the way, I thought you might like to hear that I have recently started doing pretty much all of my Spanish studies through LingQ simply because it works so well for me. It completely minimises the faffing about of writing stuff on cards or in vocabulary books and makes it easy for me to learn and remember words, without any pretence of special gimics or memory aids that don't work in the long term.
It was interesting for me to realise that it is an extremely valuable thing to have a system that completely saves me organising my studies (apart from uploading my own content which I can do with minimal effort) thus giving me maximum contact with the language when I study without distractions and without having to think where I should put what flashcard where, which book, CD or MP3 I should listen to and where I put it. It is simple, but for the studies I want to do, I don't need anything else. Well done.

For some years now I've been looking for and experimenting with different methods with high school students (ages 14-19), probably for much the same reasons. Being dissatisfied with predominant so-called communicative methods that actually weren't anything else but old grammar and translation based drills combined with ineffective dialogues on CDs and not really interesting textbook content, I searched the internet and came up with numerous articles by Greg Thomson on the www.sil.org, in which I was introduced to Stephen Krashen's ideas.
Providing students with a lot of comprehensible input was a big challenge, especially for French. The main problem proved to be the "remaking" of the classroom and motivating the students, who actually didn't expect anything better than what they had been getting so far, to take more responsibility for their learning. Thanks to Steve Kaufmann's blogposts and my own working with LingQ I've become much more efficient in convincing at least part of my students of how effective listening and reading can be at any stage in the learning process.
Previously I had come across "passive learning" in Vera Birkenbihl's books. She worked out her own methodology of language learning (among other learning fields) in the late 1980s. She actuallY advocates word-for-word translation with active listening (very similar to the LingQ method) as a first step. She calls this "decoding". She is against formal vocabulary and grammar learning. The next step is "passive listening"(without reading along) and only after full comprehension/acquisition of the material does she suggest production (speaking or writing) according to the learner's requirements.
Ms Birkenbihl's method is great as soon as you have the "decoded" texts and recordings. I experimented with this method for some time, but then came across Assimil courses, which were easier to use, because there was no need to do the word-for-word translation myself. On the other hand, I didn't find the content of Assimil courses so interesting. Stll, I have benefited a lot from both approaches. However, all of this proved to be difficult to use in the classroom.
With the LingQ methodology I have found something like a "missing link". Interesting content and mp3 files, flashcards (which I had been using on and off in paper form) together with the possibility of communicating with other learners and a tutor.
My latest experiment of learning some Swedish with "the power of the linguist" has been a very rewarding experience. I'm using LingQ mainly for Russian and French, but I'm trying to continue Swedish as well.

I took the TOEIC at the end of last month after a few month intensive reading and listening on LingQ system. It was my seventh TOEIC in the past 16 years. I usually ran out of time at the reading and grammer section, but this time I felt it was much easier than ever and had more than 10 minutes left when I finished my answer sheet. There were a few questions that I needed time to think over, but for the rest of them I just felt the right answers like my intuition told me. I think it is because I have been intensively exposing myself to natural English that is not arranged for exam preparation. Of course I needed to check some points in grammar before the exam, but most of the time I just enjoyed my reading. This experience really helps me to keep my motivation. I look forward to seeing my TOEIC score that will be sent at the end of this month.
Naudodamasis LingQ sistema pastaruosius kelis mėnesius, supratau, kad ši sistema yra neįtikėtinai paprasta, draugiška-vartotojams ir suteikia malonų būdą, kaip mokytis ir įsisavinti kalbą. Be tai dar ne viskas, LingQ leidžia pasinerti į kalbą nuo pirmos dienos ir greitai prie jos priprasti; kažko, ko tradiciniai kalbos mokymosi metodai negali suteikti taip efektyviai arba ekonomiškai. Laimei, šis procesas iš tiesų reikalauja tik nedidelių pastangų.
Dėl natūralaus ir iš esmės nereikalaujančio pastangų kalbos mokymosi būdo, taip pat ir pasaulinio priėjimo naudojantis virtualų interneto pasaulį, LingQ siūlo malonų akiai, patrauklų produktą, kuris turi daug potencialo sulaukti pasisekimo tokiose šalyse kaip Naujoji Zelandija, kur užsienio kalbos žinojimas nėra norma. Aš esu laimingas ir dėkingas, kad atradau LingQ ir rekomenduoju kiekvienam, kuris rodo bent menkiausią susidomėjimą užsienio kalbomis!

I'm sure you get a thousand of these a day but I would just like to say I really appreciate your knowledge and passion for languages. LingQ is absolutely brilliant and is something I feel that is extremely unique. You are truly doing something amazing for all language learners. Thank you for your time, and once again thank you for all that you have done for the language learning community.
Here is how I use LingQ. I first download various audio clips then proceed to save the text that came along with the audio. I print out the text and add the audio to an mp3 player and that way I have the LingQ system everywhere I go! People ask me all the time how I could possibly study a language without school and all I need to do is pull out the text and mp3 and give them a little demonstration. I tell people that you will pick words and phrases without meaning to just by simply listening and reading the text a view times. It is truly an amazing thing when you are learning effortlessly and efficiently at the same time. I encourage people to try LingQ due to the effectiveness and that the man behind the scenes is truly original and absolutely passionate about proper language learning. Simply follow the basic instructions on LingQ and you will be learning in no time.
I'll never stop using LingQ haha!
Hi, I'm Frances from the Philippines. I have just signed up for LingQ to learn French language. Thanks for creating this site. It will really help a lot of those who intend to learn new foreign languages. Thanks so much and keep up the good work!

Just for fun of it, the other day at the bookstore I picked up a study book for the French proficiency test here in Japan. I was able to answer most of the questions without any study of grammar at all. I have only been studying here at LingQ.
...if LingQ had been around when I first started learning, I think I would have been a lot further ahead than where I am now. However, I can't complain because now I have discovered it I feel as though I will learn a lot more with greater speed and efficiency...

Hi Jill, Steve and Mark! I like Your podcasts very much and I really enjoy to listen them. It's funny, You're laughing and it isn't boring at all. So, thank you for that!:)
Just wanted to give you a short feedback on your podcast that I have been listening this morning at 6 am whilst walking with my dog in a dark, swiss forest!! I loved it!! And I went straight back to start exercising on my English (with Anne of green gables, nice). I will upgrade as soon as I have enough time - I really want to improve my English and your way is just great - thanks a lot. Merry Christmas and from the most possible the best for 2008 (sounds weird in English; in German: vom Moglichen das Beste!)

Thank you for the very excellent article on organizing a presentation. I have been using LingQ for several weeks now and am very happy with the progress I am making. This kind of progress has eluded me in the past. I now have LingQ on my browser tool bar and include it in my morning routine at the same time slot as I read my email and news sources. I have recommended your program to a number of people. I also enjoy your blogs each day which help to keep me motivated. I told my son the other day that Steve Kaufman is my new guru. Thanks very much.

I took a few years of French at high-school, which of course did not take me anywhere. Despite getting a 'B' in GCSE, I could not even conduct a basic conversation in French. I had not touched the language for almost 15 years, until the summer of 2006, when I decided to pick it up again. It was tough for me because there were not many Francophones in my area, and that I could only spend a portion of my spare-time learning. I joined LingQ in the summer of 2007, and I found significant improvement after only a few months, especially in my reading and listening.
Last weekend, I went to visit Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City, the first time since I started to pick up French again. I was amazed that I could understand a lot of conversations spoken around me. I was also very happy to find myself being able to exchange a few lines with the Francophones over there. What I found most astonishing was that I did not achieve this by memorising the lines from some phrase books, but the conversations came out quite naturally from my mouth.

This week is my one-year-anniversary of my new English learning at LingQ. Since late June of 2009, I have imported and shared 850 lessons, created 11380 Lings, read over 2,370,000 words and listened to English content for 385 hours! Wow! My progress snapshot shows it, too. I'd been enjoying English learning, but I'd never focused my learning on vocab nor had I read so many texts. I enjoy learning at LingQ, and watching my progress snapshot every day. This progress snapshot, the LingQ system and the LingQ community give me a lot of motivation to learn English. Thank you, LingQ!

Hello, I'm Seghir from Algeria ; I've learned English at school for 11 years but I haven't made big progress but now with LingQ it is totally different, I used the system for only three months and I can understand write and even speak English much better. LingQ's methods are very efficient so thank you very much Steve, Jill, Mark and all the tutors and also Henry because now I'm learning French and I really like the new French podcasts good luck and keep up the good work.
A few days ago a friend of mine told me she is learning Spanish. The first idea to come to my mind was if I could find any audio books to learn the language too. So i found one and after 8 hours of listening I already had some basic understanding of the Spanish language structure. (A very very useful audio book to start learning Spanish with, by Michele Thomas, he shows the structure of the language, and not just some common phrases as usually such "teachers" do). The next day I spent a couple of hours trying various language learning software, when I came to lingq.com. I've now spent some 30 hours here in total and I can already read wikipedia, news and other articles in Spanish almost without any use of dictionary (well, I look up about 1 word in 50 when reading articles I import to LingQ's workdesk). I find LingQ very handy, it really saves tons of time and makes me feel more confident knowing I have everything I need to learn (i.e. articles I have read/plan to read, vocabulary, dictionary, flashcards, etc.) at hand.
I just wanted to write a thank you letter to the LingQ team :-) Great idea and great job you guys made! Keep going ;-)
Aš 20 ir daugiau metų dirbau programuotoju ir tikrai vertinu gerai suprojektuotą programinę įrangą.
I just wanted to say I love this program. I think that if you found a way to develope it in the way that Rosetta Stone is commercially sold, you would really have something amazing. I'm also learning Russian, and I wanted to tell you that I would really love to see you "explain your website" in Russian. Спасибо. Пока!

What a wonderful job all you have done regarding the Lingq design. Today, I spent more than 3 hours at the LingQ updating my flashcards(hint/phrases) and was great! The time just went by so fast. It was easy, fast, enjoyable. Everything was at the reach of my hand. No question, "The best language learning system ever". And I can tell you that I have spent a considerable amount of time searching the Internet, trying to get a look at what is going on regarding to online language learning systems. Congratulations!

As I was working in my office yesterday, I got a second notification for the day that someone was following my blog. (I've been getting them somewhat regularly now.) Out of curiosity, I clicked on the link and there was a picture of a man I didn't know. "Who is this?" "How did he find me?" "How are these people finding me?" I noticed I had stopped breathing. I was holding my breath so I exhaled.
"Well" I thought to myself, "This is quite interesting" and I went on to ponder. I wondered what had me stop breathing? What had my chest feel tight? Why was I reacting in such a way to seeing the picture of a man who was following my blog. I felt the need to get away so I got up, got bundled up and went outside for a walk to figure this out.
I realized that when I started writing three years ago, it was to work through my experience before my lap band surgery. After I had the surgery it was to process what I'd chosen to do. When I chose to take the liquid out of my band and face what I needed to face, I realized the words I was sharing were making a difference to the friends who were reading them. Yes, I said friends. At first, it was just friends who were reading the blog. At times they passed it along to their friends but they were friends by association. And now we get to the crux of it. There was safety in what I'd created. If my friends didn't agree with me, or didn't like what I had to say they'd probably choose not to share it with me and so it was safe.
When I saw the picture of the unknown man, he represented all who have chosen to follow my blog that I don't know. He represented the possibility of critical words. He represented uncertainty and thus vulnerability. It was clear that's what had me stop breathing. Then I thought some more.
These folks have chosen to read my words and chosen to be notified when I post so obviously they want to hear what I have to say. Crap. Crap. Crap. The deeper level of concern surfaced. I don't want to be "the one". This is pressure to have to produce and make a difference. "You are so funny!" I said to myself. "Of course, you want to be the one! You just wrote about how your work is people growth not personal growth." I took a deep breath then and I just took one as I wrote. Yes, I will continue to share. Yes, I will have strangers choose to follow what I write. Yes, I will make a difference. And, yes, there will probably be times when people choose to disagree with what I write. However, I must be building up to this because I've been writing for three years. It's just now that I'm having this influx of followers. It's time.
Now- on to the biggest win of this writing. Did you notice in the beginning, that I said I got up, bundled up and took a walk to think this over? Did you notice that I didn't go to the kitchen for comfort food? When I realized I chose something different yesterday I had a little pep in my step as I walked the block. It's the little steps of celebration that bring the walls down and build me up. And there's another deep breath.

Are piles of paperwork draining your productivity and sapping your will to work? Whether it's your home office or your workspace, clutter reduces your ability to be focused and productive – it can even make you more irritable.
"Home offices can be even more cluttered than those in the corporate world," says local decluttering and organisational expert Angella Gilbert of Gioia.
"It varies enormously but most New Zealanders work in a cluttered environment – they don't have systems and they don't know how to put them in place."
Gilbert has 5 quick tips to help you reorganise your desktop and increase your productivity:
1. Embrace empty space
If you don't reach for it every day, it doesn't need to be within arm's reach. Put your files in the cupboard, your stapler in a drawer, and your books on the shelf. At the end of each day, take a few minutes to clear your desk before you leave your office, so you're ready to start fresh in the morning.
"Empty spaces create possibilities," says Gilbert. "I will fight anyone who says they're just as effective with a cluttered desk. Clutter is overwhelming and distracting and burdensome – it's just not enjoyable."
2. Banish horizontal paper piles
Piles of paper on your desktop seem to breed and multiply overnight; the average office worker spends an entire week each year searching for lost pieces of paper. Those piles of paperwork aren't only a time-suck, they can also make you look unprofessional and disorganised to your boss and your colleagues.
Gilbert has a solution: go vertical. Buy vertical magazine boxes (like these), in which you can stand colourful files with clear plastic sleeves (like these). Each file is coded: blue for invoices, red for quotes, yellow for personal. You can instantly reach for the right file to find the document you need or slip a new piece of paper into the right place.
3. Create a digital filing system
Computer desktops plastered in files give Gilbert the heebie-jeebies – she believes your digital spaces should be at least as well organised as your physical spaces. If you're saving everything to My Documents, you need a better system.
"Think of it like a big filing cabinet," she says. "Each folder is a drawer of the cabinet and each subfolder is a suspension file. You can also apply the same system to your inbox, so you don't spend so much time finding each email."
4. Personalise without adding clutter
A tidy space doesn't need to be sterile and impersonal. The trick is to customise your storage systems and essentials, providing you with a personalised space that is clutter-free. Gilbert keeps all her pens and pencils in a mug printed with photos of holidays, for example.
If you want a family photo, choose the best one and have it framed for the wall, rather than putting lots of small frames on your desk where you're likely to knock them over.
You can also personalise your digital spaces with fantastic icon sets for your all your files. It takes just a few minutes to change your boring manila-folder file icons for something much more fun, whether your passion is travel, cats or Daft Punk.
5. Grow something green
Bring a little bit of nature into your office and you can reap surprisingly impressive benefits. Plants reduce stress, increase productivity and help provide cleaner office air. They even seem to prevent illness in the workplace.
Choose a low-maintenance plant like a succulent and think carefully about where you position it. The plant needs a spot where you can't tip it over by accident, or inadvertently water your entire desk.
Still messy?
Despite what your co-workers might think, some perpetually untidy individuals can be both productive and creative. If you're still not managing to keep a tidy desk, take heart. Some level of messiness may help to encourage us to be more creative and think in new directions.

Let's get acquainted?
I promise there won't be much of such topics.
Sorta homecoming, huh?
I'm a foreigner - so I'll be a kind of moderator (in the media sense). Though I'll tell you that I'm in Russia, Moscow region (north boundary of it); I'm not in the media business...
How did it happen I'm here? Well, first of all, quite long ago it appeared I was becoming a sort of Angloman (as it's called here), then, not so long ago - at an age of thirty-something - I successfully entered a local university to study English and linguistics.
Well, I didn't think about linguistics as such when I applied - rather I wanted to learn a good English. However, I became very much interested in linguistics then.
I didn't finish for some reasons, still I can speak - to an extent, and I consider linguistics my specialty.
So, to better learn English, I started searching for native English broadcast on the Internet, among other things. Started with BBC World Service, eventually I dismissed it for some reasons, and turned to BBC locals and then various other local stations throughout the UK.
I came to like local broadcast - speech, local programmes/news... Well, enough for now - if you wanna get in some detail, you can ask me later.
So, the first question will be an auxiliary one: are there any more foreigners here - just in case there are
Now to the point: if you're not a secret agent, would you care to introduce yourselves somehow?
Like where you are there, are you a listener or in the business? What are your listening preferences: like mostly local radio? or national/regional? Which radiogenre do you prefer now - is it speech? music? news? drama? sport?
What should your ideal (fictional or not) radiostaion sound like?

Well, I did think about linguistics as such when I applied...
Oops! There should be "I didn't" there. I hope James will introduce editing/previewing soon enough.

text: Safety and Commitment Nappies and Wipes Where did the pee go? A baby could wear the same nappy for up to 12 hours overnight, and it might absorb the equivalent of two to three bottles of milk. So a nappy that's dry at the start of a night's sleep may well be wet and bulky by the time your baby wakes up in the morning. But with New Pampers Baby-Dry® you can be sure that you're using the best nappy to avoid waking your baby, as they contain three new absorbing channels which spread the wetness evenly through the nappy, meaning there's less wet bulk in the morning.The absorbing channels contain MicroPearls™, which can absorb up to 30 times their weight and lock away wetness for up to 12 hours. This means babies will wake in the morning as dry as when they went to bed the night before, and you'll be left wondering, 'Where did the pee go?' You might also like:

King's College Boat Club is the rowing club for members of King's College, Cambridge. The first record of King's rowing is in 1838.[1]
In 1973, women row at King's for the first time, forming a women's boat club under the name Queen Margaret of Anjou Boat Club (QMABC). The name QMABC was dropped in 1996, and all King's crews since have rowed under King's College Boat Club.
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (February 2013)
By 1840 King's reached 7th position in the Lent Bumps, before losing places and being taken off in 1842. King's make a brief return in the 'Sloggers' races (qualifying bumps races) in 1845-6 before disappearing.
In 1853, King's returns, quickly becomes head of the 'Sloggers' and rises 6 places in 6 days in the First Division. When CUBC creates two smaller divisions in 1854, King's climbs back into the first division for the second successive year. However, they are taken off in 1855, possibly due to new CUBC rules regarding the eligibility of certain rowers.
In 1867, F.E. Cunningham becomes the first Blue from King's, whilst the uniform is agreed in 1868 including a white coat bounded by King's colours, caps for the Lents and straw hats in the Mays.
In 1875, King's produce a second boat for the first time, but they fail to get on.
In 1973, women row at King's for the first time, forming a women's boat club under the name Queen Margaret of Anjou Boat Club (QMABC). Queen Margaret of Anjou was the Queen Consort to King Henry VI, who founded King's College. Sally Millership coxes the Men's 2nd VIII, having been prevented from coxing M1 as the Amateur Rowing Association (ARA) decide mixed crews are not allowed (the M1 wanted to row in ARA events). The following year she becomes the first female member of a King's M1 boat.
The King's 1st men's VIII have spent most of their history in the second division of the Lent and May Bumps. In 1897, King's reached 4th in the Lent Bumps, but subsided back into the 2nd division just four years later. A few brief periods in the first division have followed, but in the mid-1980s, the 1st VIII found themselves in the 3rd division for the first time ever. In 2005, King's managed to reach the first division for the first time since 1976. This position was consolidated in 2006 and 2007 with a further three bumps in both years, and another two in 2008, finishing 9th. The following year saw a drop of three places, two of which were recovered in 2010, but two successive years of spoons saw King's fall back to the second division. 2013 saw the previous year's result reversed with blades being awarded ensuring that the stay in the 2nd division only lasted one day.
In the May Bumps, performance has largely been similar to that of the Lent Bumps. From 1912 until 1930, King's was in the first division, reaching 5th in 1923. In 1982, King's dropped into the 3rd division and since 1989 had a continuous existence in the second division. Recent movement has reflected that of the Lents, rising from 15th in the second division on the first day of 2003 to the first division by close of racing in 2009. 2010 saw another three bumps, with King's finishing 14th in the first division. This position couldn't be maintained in 2011, which saw an incredibly strong year for college rowing, but 3 bumps in 2012 and a further 3 in 2013 saw King's reach 10th, the highest position held by a King's crew since the 1950s.
2012/13 saw arguably one of the strongest years in the history of the club for the 1st men, despite no University rowers at the club. Michaelmas was incredibly successful with the 1st IV+ winning the University IVs First Division and the 1st VIII winning the Fairbairn Cup for the first time in the history of the club. Blades in Lents followed and a further 3 places were gained in the Mays. The disappointment of missing blades on the final day was soon forgotten as the 1st VIII qualified to race in the Temple Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta.
The college's second men's VIII has recently also enjoyed a run of sustained success, rising from the 5th division in May Bumps 2007 through the 4th division, arriving in the 3rd division on the final day of Mays 2011. This was a run that included 3 consecutive years of blades (2007-2009). In the Lent Bumps, the Second boat has maintained a mid-table 3rd division spot for the last few years having risen from the 4th division in 2009.
King's men's 3rd VIII has historically struggled to maintain a position on the river and has only sporadically appeared in the Lent Bumps, however they currently reside in the 5th division of May Bumps having earned blades in 2012.
The 1st women's VIII rowed in the Lent Bumps from the first ever women's race in 1976 and May Bumps from the 2nd ever women's race in 1975.
In the Lent Bumps, the women started in 2nd position in 1976, but did not race in 1979. In the 1980 race, they were put on at the bottom of the 1st division and fell into the 2nd, where they have remained since.
In the May Bumps, the 1st women's IV started in 7th and rose as high as 3rd in 1977 but had fallen into the 2nd division by 1986. When the bumps were reorganised in 1990, the QMABC 1st women's VIII started and maintained a position in the 2nd division.
In the 1996 bumps races, King's women's crews inherited the positions that QMABC crews held in 1995. The King's women's 1st VIII held a position in the 2nd division in both the Lent and May Bumps until the May Bumps 2005, where they managed to break into the 1st division for the first time since the May Bumps were rowed in eight-oared boats.

[Walton reportedly turning pro]
[Miami No. 7, Clemson No. 1 in latest CFP rank]
[Richt named ACC Coach of the Year]
[Angry Hurricanes — and coaches — might help vs. Clemson]
The Hurricanes will be without another major offensive contributor for the ACC Championship Game against Clemson.
UM announced Wednesday afternoon that standout wide receiver Ahmmon Richards will miss the rest of the year after injuring a meniscus in his left knee during that morning's practice. He will have surgery this week.
Previously, a report from the Miami Herald said Richards was carted off the practice field. Coach Mark Richt did not address the situation when he met with reporters Wednesday.
[Clemson 58, Miami 0 will live in Canes infamy, but sparked program's rebirth]
The seventh-ranked Hurricanes (10-1, 7-1 ACC), who meet top-ranked Clemson (11-1, 7-1) in Charlotte on Saturday (8 p.m., ABC), will be without standout senior tight end Chris Herndon, who injured his knee last Friday at Pittsburgh. Sophomore Michael Irvin will start in his place.
The Hurricanes have been without star running back Mark Walton since Oct. 7, when he injured his right ankle and had season-ending surgery.
Richards, who set a UM freshman record for receiving yards (934) last season, has struggled this year with hamstring, ankle and Achilles' injuries. Missing three games and playing sparingly in several others, he has 439 yards and three touchdowns on 24 catches.
When he spoke to the media after Tuesday's practice, Richards said he was "feeling better" and was excited about the possibility of making an impact in UM's first ACC title game appearance.
"I feel like I've got to take advantage of the opportunity," he said. "A big game, I've got to step up [if we] want to get the win."
With Richards out, UM will rely more on juniors Darrell Langham and Dayall Harris, sophomore Lawrence Cager, and true freshmen Jeff Thomas, Mike Harley and running back/receiver DeeJay Dallas.
"All true freshmen, rarely do they have a year like an Ahmmon," Richt said, when asked about Thomas. "The freshmen that are playing now, a year from now, they'll be so much better at what they do."
Senior receiver Braxton Berrios also expressed confidence in Irvin, who has five career receptions.
"It's just football," said Berrios, who has a team-high 583 yards and nine touchdowns on 45 catches this year. "He's thrown into the starting role right now. It's shocking when you have, I'm going to go ahead and say it, an All-American tight end in front of you. You get some plays and you might be tired, but then all of a sudden you have those shoes to fill. We don't want him to be Chris Herndon. I don't think he can be. He can only be Michael Irvin. Whatever he can do to help us win, he'll do. It's just football. He knows what to do."

Facebook's head of Messenger, David Marcus announced the same at the TechCrunch Disrupt 2016 event. Marcus also revealed that the latest version of the Messenger app will give 30,000 chatbots the ability to accept payments. The feature will comes as a part of the app v1.2. It will soon be rolling out to the users. Facebook has not yet mentioned when India will receive this feature and when.
"We're kicking off the beginning of messages with payments that will allow businesses to sell products and services directly to customers in Messenger. Customers can check out with a few easy clicks, without ever leaving the Messenger app," said Facebook in a statement.
At the TechCrunch event, Marcus added that Facebook Messenger chatbots will support credit card and most payment services like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Stripe, PayPal and Braintree. Users will see a 'buy now' button in chats that will trigger the payment process. Tapping on the 'Buy now' button will show up quick payment confirmation tab and the credit card will switch to the user's default card that is tied with the Facebook account or the Messenger account.
"Inside a thread you have identity, transaction capabilities, the ability to draw UI, and draw native buttons and interfaces," Marcus told to TechCrunch. "We're bring all these types of experiences together."
For now, the feature is limited to developers in closed beta. Businesses and other developers can apply to use the feature and develop it further.
Facebook also claimed that developers will be able to add options like quick responses, product shipping notifications, flight updates and more in the Messenger app. In addition, the update will bring the ability to forward individual messages or invite friends to start a new thread with a particular bot.

BRIDGMAN, Mich. – The regularly-scheduled first Saturday of the month siren test starts at 1pm and typically lasts for about one minute, but each April, the sirens sound for a full three minutes.
"People are used to hearing the sirens for only about one minute on the first Saturday of the month. However, each April, we test the sirens for a full three minutes to confirm they will work for a longer period. We try to spread the word so no one gets unnecessarily concerned." said Kevin Simpson of Cook Emergency Preparedness department.
The 70 omni-directional electronic sirens are an important part of Berrien County's alert and notification system within the 10-mile radius Emergency Planning Zone of the plant in Bridgman. The Berrien County Sheriff's Emergency 911 System does occasionally get calls during Cook's regular siren testing. This additional notification of the longer April test is being made to minimize those distractions.
Sirens and other basic emergency information can be found in the emergency information calendars that are produced by the Cook Plant and mailed annually to residents and businesses in Berrien County.
"People like and use our calendar because of the great photos of local scenery, but the real purpose is to keep important emergency information available," said Cook Communications Manager Bill Schalk. "The April test is always a good reminder to take time to review that information and to share it with folks who may not be familiar with these regular tests."
The regular monthly tests last about one minute. In the event of a real emergency, the sirens would sound for three to five minutes and residents should tune to local radio or television stations for more information.
If you have questions or would like additional emergency information calendars, visit www.cookinfo.com, call 800-548-2555, email email@example.com or visit our Facebook page www.Facebook.com/CookNuclear. Also, for your protection, report non-working sirens right away. If you note a problem with a siren near your home, call the Berrien County Emergency Management Office at 269-983-7111 x4915.
Cook Nuclear Plant is owned and operated by Indiana Michigan Power, headquartered in Fort Wayne. At full capacity, the 1,084-net MW Unit 1 and 1,194-net MW Unit 2 combined produce enough electricity for more than one and one half million average homes.

baby elle is getting big. fast.
so i thought i'd better get some more pictures of her up before she's walking ;)
at four months this little gem was as sweet as ever and happy as could be and all the littles above her were still very much in love with her.
how could they not be?
she wasn't doing much other than baby stuff.
LOTS of sleeping, laughing, and being pleasant in general.
and sleeping.
she celebrated 4 months on new year's eve in SLC.
poor little miss got sick with RSV and had a rough couple of weeks, but didn't get nearly as sick as some babies do, thank goodness. still, i've never had a baby so sick and miserable.
she started to be more aware of what was around her,
like her, apparently, very captivating hands and feet.
more sleeping
baby learned to roll from front to back. more of a tip-over, i'd say. my babies take forever to do anything since they spend the majority of their first six months asleep, so tipping over is quite exciting.
and this is the face i'm greeted with whenever i enter the room.
she's president of my fan club.
six months brought a few more grams of cheek chubs, may favorite kind,
and some experimenting with baby food. she's not a fan of the mushy stuff, but prefers things she can chew, so we've kind of skipped baby food altogether and moved right to solids.
i don't blame her. that gunk is kind of gross, which is exactly what gwen thought too, and made her opinion on the matter all too apparent by gagging and puking on the floor whenever she saw elle being fed baby food.
she gets going CRAZY in this thing. it's so so funny.
doing some pretty awesome sitting,
and looking pretty proud of herself.
this has been an official overload of photos.
your welcome.

Ilex berries are always a burst of holiday cheer! Their festive red color must brighten many homes in the midst of a very cold winter. When we first moved home to Manila, I used to buy several big branches of ilex berries from an importer at the time. They didn't seem so pricey then, but maybe it was just because I had only recently gotten off the boat. Today, I find they are exorbitantly priced and are of inferior quality for the most part, so I haven't indulged. Besides, the berries tend to fall off faster in tropical temperatures, and I wouldn't want the labrador munching on those…
Another fall or early winter favorite are branches of crab apples. I just took a second look at the photo and am now wondering if these WERE crab apples. Hmmm, they were fruit or berries of some type. We never find these in Manila during the holidays…
More mini-tabletop pine trees. I can't believe Christmas carols will be playing on Manila radio stations in about 6 weeks!! Yikes!
Hyacinths jus ready to open their blooms.
A wonderful selection of flowers at the Marche des Enfants Rouge in the Marais.
A close up photo of the blooms, and look at those prices, not too bad really.
A pail with ranunculus (upper left hand corner), one of my favorite flowers (along with long-stemmed tulips, hydrangeas, peonies, butterfly orchids, etc.).
One of the lady flower vendors.
Butterfly orchids, probably imported from places far away.
A varied selection of available blooms.
Ready made bouquets for those in a hurry!
Flower power! :)

If you have been following my blog you know that I previously had a blog on bachelorexpert.blog.com , that stopped working. Here is my view of the season so far:
Ashley seemed instantly attracted to J.P. She liked the chase when it came to Bentley, and he did not give her the necessary closure. J.P. consoled Ashley twice after Bentley left. She fell for J.P very early on. Ben being the sweet guy he is, came out of no where and blew Ashley away. Unfortunately he is getting the sweet runner up edit. Ames and his uniqueness came all the way to the final four, and got his poor heart broken. Constantine goes to the final 3, and rumor has it, Ryan P. comes back.
Three of my favorites from the first episode made it to the final four, J.P, Ben, and Ames.
Ben and Constantine are most likely to be the next Bachelor.
J.P. seems perfect for Ashley.
I love Ben F.
Sorry this is such a short synopsis!

Your Volunteers Write Newsletter Content: Who Owns It?
If your nonprofit publishes a newsletter, magazine, or even a blog, getting volunteer writers can be a great way to both reduce your workload and foster community involvement. But once the piece is written and published, who owns it? For example, if a for-profit magazine wanted to reprint the article, to whom would it pay the licensing fee — your group, or the original writer?
If you don't know the answer to this, you can bet your volunteers don't, either — which is why it's worth figuring out this issue in advance and drafting a short agreement for your volunteers. Luckily, Nolo's own Rich Stim, an expert on intellectual property matters, gives you the details in his blog post called "Who Owns What I Write for Nonprofit?"

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/ ... ner-163406Alcon Entertainment, the company behind The Blind Side, is looking to bring the world of Blade Runner back to the big-screen.
The 1982 cult classic, which was directed by Ridley Scott and starred Harrison Ford, was based on a Philip K. Dick novel titled Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
The company is in final negotiations to acquire the secure film, television and ancillary franchise rights to produce prequels and sequels to the iconic 1982 science-fiction thriller.
Alcon is getting the film rights from Bud Yorkin, who was an exec producer on the original 1982 movie. Yorkin will serve as a producer on the projects.
Alcon co-heads Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson. Cynthia Sikes Yorkin will co-produce. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEOs of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers.
The story is set in a future where man has created clones called replicants who are used for dangerous work. When they rebel on a space colony, replicants are banned and hunted down.

I'd be on board if Nolan did this.
Did not think an explanation was needed but why would Chris want to do a sequel or a prequel to something he respected so much? I think he would respect Ridley and not touch his universe. If Chris wanted to do a futuristic Sci Fi, I am certain he would do his own original one.Crazy Eight wrote:Explain.No.
A vague "no" towards a comment that has two statements requires explanation just for clarity's sake.why would Chris want to do a sequel or a prequel to something he respected so much? I think he would respect Ridley and not touch his universe. If Chris wanted to do a futuristic Sci Fi, I am certain he would do his own original one.
My reasoning follows yours but takes the opposite direction. Since Nolan loves Blade Runner so much, and if he got Scott's blessing, I think he'd most definitely be excited to expand upon the universe. But since neither you nor I know what Nolan would really do, the subjects kinda moot. I do agree however that Nolan wouldn't take the project without Scott's approval.

The rapid deployment system is designed to work in conjunction with a manned response service. The mobile CCTV trailer unit can be deployed and positioned on a remote (clients) site and will cover key areas of the site with high performance infra-red movement sensors which will record all pre-set activity 24/7 during normal working hours and when armed the unit is connected to a 24/7 RVRC (remote video response centre). When the unit is armed and an alarm trigger occurs the system sends alarm images to the RVRC who can then switch to live viewing and carry out an instant treat assessment, this is called "visual verification" The operator can then alert the manned response service and/or the Police if the site has been violated or if criminal activity is taking place. In addition the operator can broadcast "live audio warnings" directly to the site informing intruders that they are in a restricted area, are being recorded and that the Police have been informed. All units are continuously monitored using T-Ping connection software which constantly monitors the connection status between the CCTV unit – mobile network and RVRC if the connection is lost the RVRC receives confirmation and is able to inform the key holders.
The CCTV deployment system is a fully integrated mobile remote video security solution. It has been designed to be totally transportable and can be deployed as frequently as required on multiple sites.
The CCTV solid state trailer system provides a platform which both transports the system from site to site and when in deployed mode, forms a self-contained secure working platform functioning as a fully integrated remote video CCTV system. The system utilises the very latest wireless technology and is primarily designed to work in areas without fixed wired communications and will operate across GSM /2G – 3G – 4G and Edge networks.
The systems unique design allows it to be set up on a site within one hour. The CCTV unit can then remain deployed for as long as required. The trailer unit is extremely stable, robust and secure from attack.
This is an actual image from a site and shows what the Monitoring Station can see.
The system is infra-red but you can see that the camera also has a white light which has been switched on by the Monitoring Station to deter 'would be' intruders and to identify colours for identification purposes.

I am currently in the long and grueling process of growing my hair out. I cut my hair back in January to just above my shoulders, and I love it! My hair feels fresher and healthier, and is easier to wash and maintain. But it has come to my attention, that in less than a years time it will be my year 12 school ball, and I'd like to have longer hair. So with my regular salon appointments every eight weeks, a colour and small trim every other time is what I'll be asking for. So I've done a little bit of research on tips and tricks that supposedly help your hair grow, and here are a few that I've trialed and tested.
I bought the Swisse Hair, Skin, and Nails vitamins from the supermarket for around $9 on sale. I've also found that it has helped strengthened my nails which is a nice added bonus! Vitamin C is full of the growing-strong-hair-goodness, and eating foods such as pineapple, strawberries, kale, broccoli, and capsicum can help drastically. Another is Vitamin D and foods like bananas- which are full of potassium, and spinach, seafood, peas, oats, and other grains can also be beneficial. After almost a months use, I have definitely noticed a difference in my hair.
Brush you hair
Sounds simple, but brushing your for 1-2 minutes each day helps stimulate your scalp, and ease your hair follicles to produce more hair. Be careful to only brush wet hair with an afro or wide tooth comb, and gently, as wet hair tends to be more weaker and can snap easily.
Eat more healthy fats and protein
Not only is protein and healthy fats good for your body, but it's also great for your hair! Protein and foods high in healthy fats contain material building elements that help boost your locks to grow long and strong. Plus your body will be saying "thank you".
Cold rinse
After applying a good deep conditioner to your ends, not your scalp, rinse your hair with as cold as possible water. A cooler water temperature helps to lock in the moisture and seal ends for prevention of them splitting.
After shower care
Now I don't know about you, but I'm the kind-of-person who cannot stand wet hair dripping down my back after a shower. I flip my head over (cue Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair") and wrap my towel around into a turban-like sculpture. What I've recently discovered is that if I wrap the towel slightly looser, my hair is less knotted together, and therefore is easier to comb.
Moroccan oil
I've personally never been one to jump on the hair oils band-wagon! I've tried many at the hairdressers and friends houses, but never found the right one for me! But if your fortunate enough to find the right one, then it can drastically repair and seal the ends of your hair.
Avoid stress
Stress is one little nasty pasty that tends to pop up into our lives when we feel like we've got too much on our plate, and this can take a huge toll on our hair. Thinning and hair loss is a direct correlation to stress. Things to avoid are things like shampoos and other hair products containing silicone, sulphate and other harsh chemicals. We read the back of our food labels, so why don't we read the things we put on our face, hair and body?
Stay hydrated
Make an effort to drink those 6-8 glasses of water a day! Not only does it do wonders for your skin, and staying prompt during the day, but it also helps with the growth of your hair. I try to stick by this one as it's a quick and simple thing to just drink water.
Try the "boho" look out, and give your hair a break from the straightening and curling. Even if it's as simple as letting your hair air dry, every time you aren't using those styling tools and blow dryers, your hair is recuperating and replenishing. Braids are a great alternative to using heat and are super cute and easy to tie in with your wardrobe all year 'round.
