One of the litmus tests that evangelicals make when we evaluate a potential church family is to observe whether they are comfortable talking about sin. I often measure the authenticity of my relationships with other people according to the degree to which we can share our struggles with sin genuinely. If someone insists on keeping things positive and pleasant with me, even if I know a lot of information about their lives, I don't feel like they're being real with me, whether that's fair or not. A different question is whether we should offer others unsolicited feedback when they are doing things that appear to be sin. Do we have the responsibility to convict others of their sin?
The notion that we are responsible for calling out other peoples' sin can be a very dangerous excuse for us. Satan's name in Hebrew means "the accuser." Almost all of us at one time or another have been little Satans who go around accusing others in order to justify ourselves, even if it's within our own heads. Many Christians in social media, including myself, are notorious for the bullhorn form of "exhortation" against sin that almost never is motivated by or able to accomplish any legitimate edifying purpose.
But what about discipleship relationships? What about when people come to talk to me as their pastor about their life and they name something they're doing that seems sinful to me? I often feel like I fail people because my instinctual tendency is to say, "Oh, well that seems perfectly reasonable to me" or "Man, I do that kind of thing all the time." It seems like what I'm supposed to say is "Yeah, you screwed up and I'm disappointed in you." Because that feels like the difficult, "manly" thing to say instead of the cowardly, people-pleasing banter that I'm so quickly drawn to.
I've only had a few times in my life when somebody other than my parents confronted me about sin that wasn't in the context of an argument over household chores or division of labor in an office space. I remember in college, I behaved inappropriately at a party towards a woman in our co-ed service fraternity who was a pledge at the time. Our pledgemaster tore me to pieces over it. It was hard but it was actually very good for me. I accepted his rebuke as legitimate; it was like the prophet Nathan going before David. I fasted that next day as a penance, and I tried to honor the lesson that I learned at every party I went to after that.I'm grateful for the times I've been rebuked by people who I knew cared about me because it meant that I could feel secure knowing where I stood with that person. But it does make a difference how it happens. I've been reamed out by a couple of supervisors or colleagues, which caused me to wither and close off to them.
In any case, this question came up because I was flipping through a book on spiritual direction called Seeking God Together by Alice Fryling. She said the following which really made me do a double-take:
A common misunderstanding of spiritual direction is that the director points out the sins of the directee. Some people even seem to want that to happen. Someone said to a friend of mine, "My spiritual director really nailed me on that one," and she seemed pleased about being "nailed." Since I happened to have been the spiritual director she was talking about, I wondered how she felt I had "nailed" her…
To set the record straight, spiritual direction is not about pointing out sin to people. That is the job of the Holy Spirit… When I meet with someone for spiritual direction, it's not my job to point out sin. It's my job to do all I can to create an environment where the directee can hear from God, whether it be about sin or about something else…
This takes a tremendous burden off of us as we listen to one another. We are not responsible for pointing out mistakes, inaccurate perspectives, or sinful behavior. We need only to listen in and for truth and grace. When, through our listening, the Spirit of God convicts, it is always in the context of te good news of the gospel of grace.
How does that sit with you? It's definitely something I want to be true. I suspect that for the Mark Driscoll school of Christian leadership, this is a bunch of foofy liberal hogwash. Spiritual direction is such an ambiguous thing. Men like me generally want every task to have a clear purpose and goals and techniques.
Listening together and letting the Holy Spirit convict, encourage, or inspire? So amorphous. Such a lack of clarity (or control). What do you think? Does Alice Fryling's perspective sound solid? She actually had some scripture to back herself up which I didn't include because it got too long. Do you think she's right?

Marc by Marc Jacobs Animal Q Hillier Hobo
RAWR. This is the perfect bag for animal print lovers, like myself. Not only is it animal/camo print, but the leather look-a-like canvas material also has a textured surface, similar to fur or hide. The gold accents glam it up, and the unique shape makes this particular MBMJ bag really stand out.

The centerpiece of Gianna's collection is a painting entitled, Feast III. The feast is a theme that has informed the artist's work over the past three years, manifesting in various iterations and with a diversity of implications. While her previous paintings of the genre more signaled the insatiable, Feast III comments on a broader spectrum of hierarchies and norms, including the social and national expectations of an individual or group of individuals. The additional drawings and mono-prints on display invite the viewer into the artist's process of drawing first from life, and then permitting a natural shift into abstraction.
Gianna Dispenza (b. 1990) graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute with a BFA in sculpture. Dispenza is an American figurative painter and sculptor based in Beirut, Lebanon. Her fine art studies began in Florence, Italy at SACI and she continued her higher education in liberal arts at Colorado College. Gianna completed university with a BFA in Sculpture from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2014. Her work has been exhibited in Italy, America, and Lebanon, where she recently had her first solo sculpture exhibition in Beirut.

The Cat & The Cricket/
Blair walked into the kitchen yesterday to find a small cricket swimming laps in the cats waterdish. We've been unable to ascertain if the cricket took a dip of his own free will or--as we suspect--was tossed into the water for the viewing and entertainment pleasures of two female felines who shall remain nameless.
Lucy was very interested in the removal of the cricket, however. She tagged along at Blair's heels as he scooped up the cricket and walked to the front door, to release it. She looked anxiously up at him as she scurried to keep up, chattering the entire time: "Mow mrow mrow meow meow meow..." Translation: You're not going to let him go, are you? That would be a shame to let him go. Tell you what, let's make a deal. Wait, slow down. Listen, you set the cricket down and look the other way and hey! Are you listening? You set the cricket down and I can guarantee the non-shredding of a certain chair I know you to be rather fond of. Deal? Deal??
I have no idea if the untimely release of the cricket had anything to do with the copious amounts of dirt we found scattered in the library this morning. Someone had been having some fun with the plants. Lucy sat across the room from us, avoiding eye contact as we scooped the dirt back into the pot.
"Did you do this?" I demanded, looking at her.
"Let me see your paws," I say.
She bolted for the dining room.
Yes, I think I know who the guilty culprit is.

I Lay my Sins on Jesus
The text for this song is taken from a few verses of a hymn by Horatius Bonar. It is thought to be his first attempt at writing a hymn. I started recording it at Kenny Meeks studio and then finished in the sanctuary of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis. Wolfy Johnson engineered, mixed and played the organ. Kenny Meeks laid down the tremolo guitar and supplied some velvety vintage gear. The metallic percussion was played on part of an art installation called "Resurrected Instruments" by Kipp Normand.
I Lay my Sins on Jesus (listen) (chord chart)
I rest my soul on Jesus, this weary soul of mine; His right hand me embraces, I on his breast recline. I lay my griefs on Jesus, my burdens and my cares; My savior all my sorrows bears.
I lay my sins on Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God; He bears them all, and frees us from the accursèd load; I bring my guilt to Jesus, his blood to wash my stains I'm washed 'til no more shame remains.
'Til no more shame remains, I'm washed 'til no more shame remains. 'Til no more shame remains.
I love the Name of Jesus, Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; Like fragrance on the breezes his Name abroad is poured. I long to be with Jesus, amid the heavenly throng, To join with Earth and Heaven's song.
With Earth and Heaven's song, I'll join with Earth and Heaven's song. With Earth and Heven's song.

Makeup Meltdown Holiday 2015 Lipstick Collection
Now that the holidays are rapidly approaching, it's time to talk holiday looks. Personally, I'm a big fan of keeping the outfit simple (and warm!), so that I can play up my makeup. I've learned the trick to great, modern-looking makeup is choosing to play up the eyes or the lips; dramatic eyes and lips can be harsh. Lately, I've been sticking to very basic eye looks, so that I can make my lips as bold as I want. I think lipstick can easily elevate your look for the holidays, and honestly, swiping on a lipstick is so much easier than dealing with a smokey eye, so it's a foolproof way to look great in no time. Lately, I've been loving the lipsticks from Makeup Meltdown's 2015 holiday line! Since I'm a red lipstick fiend, I'm immediately drawn to Serrano, which is a gorgeous brick red shade—I'm wearing it in this post. I like it because it's not too bright, so you can actually get away with wearing this in the daytime, and by switching up your eye makeup, you can easily transition it to a nighttime glam look. The second shade is a gorgeous fuschia color called Grenada—it's such a great color for a holiday look! Red is always my go to shade for the holidays (all days, actually), but fuchia is such a great alternative, because it's so fun and vibrant! Also apart of the holiday line, is a yummy green apple scented lip scrub, which is crucial for getting perfectly smooth lips before applying your color!
What makes this collection so special, is that $5 from the $20 retail price of each lipstick will be going directly to charity --- namely The Beauty Bus Foundation, a non-profit that provides "Bags of Beauty" to terminally ill people and their caretakers nationwide.
If in the DC/Northern Virginia area, lipstick lovers will have an exclusive opportunity to get up close and personal with the Makeup Meltdown Holiday 2015 collection --- as well as create their OWN custom lip color at their pop-up "lip bar", and all for a good cause onThursday, Dec. 10th from 6-8pm at the Kendra Scott boutique in the Mosaic District. Hosted by Sarah Fraser of "Hey Frase", that evening 20% of all Kendra Scott and Makeup Meltdown sales will go to benefit Active Minds.
The entire collection will be available on the Makeup Meltdown online Etsy store (www.etsy.com/shop/MakeupMeltdown) from December 1st-January 31st ONLY.

An Important Decision-Making Tool
When a company hits a financial rough patch, one of the most important dynamics to understand is what will happen to cash flow in the next few months. Companies are left to ponder how bad will it get, how much money is needed and how long will the downturn last? These are critical questions that need to be understood by management as well as supporting stakeholders such as the owners, lenders and vendors.
Silverman Consulting recognizes that understanding cash flow is a critical step in a company's ultimate journey of returning to profitability. The professionals at Silverman Consulting are adept at quickly getting the financial facts and presenting them in a meaningful way to highlight operational and financial requirements such as funding payroll and real estate taxes or building inventory for peak sales demand.
Our cash flow modeling tool not only defines the forecasted cash sources and uses on a weekly basis, but also rolls forward critical balance sheet items such as accounts receivable, inventory, vendor payables and revolving debt in order to bridge the implied gain/loss. We find this helps stakeholders clearly understand why the cash forecast is depicting what it is and the implications of these findings to the organization. This financial tool can then be used as a means to garner the necessary funding from stakeholders to operate the business during this critical time.

Finally, I have had a break through in one of my family walls. Last week I posted about my Great Great Great Grandmother, Mary Ann Tongue, and how I had not been able to locate her birth or baptism record. Well, that post (which you can read here) was not even 24 hours old when a friend of mine messaged me with the transcript of Mary Ann's baptism. Well, you could have knocked me down with a feather since I had not only checked that site on numerous previous occasions (FreeReg) and not found it, but I had searched through the very parish register I then had to go back to and search again. How I missed her the first time, I don't know, but there she was, plain as day.
Tongue, Mary Ann daugr of John & Elizabeth Tongue – baptised on 15 July 1810 in Chelmsford's St Mary the Virgin St Peter & St Cedd Cathedral.
Which, if she was baptised shortly after birth, put her age at death as 58 years … or 60 in 2 years – one of my theories about her declared age last week.
So, thank you Barbara, for checking a site I had checked before and finding that they had updated their records to now include Mary Ann. Now I just need to find/confirm her parent's marriage, of which I have a couple of suspects, one is looking more promising than the others. But that's another story. As is finding out why her father was in Chelmsford afterall.

Simon Flashlights
@edcbattery on WordPress.org
- Member Since: March 4th, 2017
Find me on:
Just how the Right 18650 Battery Truly Secures
The 18650 battery is a technological marvel, forging ahead in abilities on several degrees. Several pick the 18650 battery to power their digital gadgets, consisting of flashlights, and also electric automobiles. Nonetheless, this digital giant is likewise vulnerable to overheating as well as failure.
Needs on the 18650 battery are fantastic. Its first efficiencies were encouraging, and also consumers have been hungry for a growing number of renovations. Pushed to their limitations, all devices start going beyond tolerances and venturing right into dangerous territory, as well as this preferred power supply is no exemption.
The need, after that, is for some kind of security, some means to regulate performance attributes to stop the batteries from dwelling too long at a loss zone. At the same time, one doesn't want to interrupt its supply of power, also for a little while, if in any way possible. That action needs to be reserved only for the direst of circumstances.
An example of increased demand is the evolution in tactical flashlights. Policemen and also soldiers utilized to have to haul around large, hefty lights stuffed down with batteries in order to obtain the solid illumination required in their occupations. This was needed due to the low luminescent effectiveness of incandescent bulbs.
But light discharging diodes (LEDs) have actually finally come to be viable elements in lights applications, and their luminescent efficiency is an order of magnitude more than that of the incandescent light bulb. This suggests that LED flashlights can be, and also are, developed to be both small as well as penetratingly intense. Police and armed forces employees no more need to withstand compromising tradeoffs.
But, since they do not have to compromise anything, they have developed an insatiable wish for ever before brighter flashlights in ever smaller sized plans. Furthermore, due to the fact that the LED seems to last for life, those performing tactical goals have grown familiar with relying on the LED flashlight to always function, as well as they continuously discover new methods to use it operationally. Consequently, the battery is being asked to perform in a way unseen previously, and also it could not constantly respond sufficiently.
Because of high brightness levels, the battery must supply a lot of sustained present. But the extra demands require unexpected rises in power usage. Together, these 2 capacities stress operating resistances, danger getting too hot, and intimidate failure.
The 18650 battery has actually been designed to suit the boosted needs and also dual capacities, yet engineers can't always anticipate completely where it will certainly be used. In addition, because of the battery's expenditure, it needs to be rechargeable, else cost-prohibitive. As well as Lithium ion (Li ion) modern technology, which is exactly how reenergizing is accomplished, tends to aggravate problems that create the tool to break down.
This circumstance is illogical without some sort of protection developed into the battery circuitry. The reaction has to be vibrant, instant, and also reducing. This functionality is accomplished with a protected integrated circuit, or PIC.
The primary purpose of the PIC is to stop getting too hot by keeping voltages below 4 volts. Nevertheless, brief overcharging is allowed, staving off total disturbance of power until the last 2nd. This safeguarded 18650 is the only flashlight battery you need to be willing to use.
We suggest Simon as the optimal company of a rechargeable 18650 with integrated security. Don't take any type of opportunities; get the ideal 18650 battery that absolutely secures.

Maggie Walker among local schools receiving an NFL Golden Football
Fred Jeter | 2/5/2016, 12:41 p.m.
The former Maggie L. Walker High School has been awarded an NFL Golden Football for being among the high schools that contributed to the first 49 years of Super Bowls.
Willie Lanier, a member of the Maggie L. Walker Class of 1963, helped the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Minnesota Vikings 23-7 in Super Bowl IV on Jan. 11, 1970, in New Orleans.
From Walker, Lanier went on to star at Morgan State University in Baltimore before embarking on a Hall of Fame career with the Chiefs.
Maggie Walker, under Coach Fred "Cannonball Cooper" and Lou Anderson, was a football powerhouse until 1979, when it merged with John Marshall to form the Marshall-Walker Complex.
The building on Lombardy Street is now home to the Maggie Walker Governor's School and is a regional school for the gifted. The school no longer fields a football team but maintains its original mascot, the Green Dragons.
According to CBS Sports.com, Golden Footballs are being sent to high schools of every player or coach who was on an active Super Bowl roster.
"As we mark our 50th Super Bowl, we are celebrating the players and coaches of the past 49 Super Bowls and their high schools that have impacted the game," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
More than 2,000 high schools will be recognized, Goodell said.
Other local high schools to receive Golden Footballs and their Super Bowl connection:
Russell Wilson, Collegiate School: Wilson played quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks during the team's victory over Denver in 2014 and its loss to New England in 2015.
Jamie Sharper and Darren Sharper, Hermitage High School: Linebacker Jamie helped Baltimore to its 34-7 win over the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV in 2001. Darren, a defensive back, helped New Orleans defeat Indianapolis 31-17 in Super Bowl XLIV in 2010.
James Farrior, Matoaca High School: James starred at linebacker in Pittsburgh's win over Seattle in Super Bowl XL in 2006 and in the Steelers' victory over Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII in 2009.
Damien Woody, Patrick Henry High School in Ashland: Damien was a center for New England's Super Bowl XXXVI win in 2002 over St. Louis and the win over Carolina in Super Bowl XXXVIII.
William Henderson, Thomas Dale High School: William was the blocking back for Brett Favre in Green Bay's win over New England in Super Bowl XXXI in 1997.
Michael Robinson, Varina High School: Michael was a backfield teammate of Wilson in Seattle's win over Denver in Super Bowl XLVIII.
At least one area school, Virginia Randolph, fell through the cracks.
Cornelius Johnson played offensive guard for the Baltimore Colts in the team's victory over Dallas in Super Bowl V in 1971. Johnson graduated from Virginia Randolph, the school for African-American students in Henrico County during segregation prior to 1969. He later went to Virginia Union University and then played for the Colts, where he lined up with Hall of Famers Johnny Unitas and John Mackey.
Virginia Randolph is now called the Academy at Virginia Randolph. It provides career and technical training as part of Henrico County Public Schools.

Here is another great activity focusing on families and family history. This could also be done at a regular Activity Days activity but the families sharing together was a wonderful idea. With the "campfire" set up in the middle of the floor, families were asked to bring a blanket to sit on and a family story to share.
DINNER: What better campfire food than Pigs in a Blanket and oven-made S'mores! No utensils needed and they were a hit with everyone. Super simple and on the cheap. Great idea.
STORIES: After dinner around the campfire, the girls and their families were given the opportunity to share a story from their ancestors or their current family. Some read their stories, others told them. Many had props to help demonstrate their story. It all worked. If someone chose not to share, that was just fine.
We all enjoyed hearing adventures of wedding days, rattlesnakes and how one family became the "Washtub" branch instead of the "Potato Sack" branch! It was a fun way for the girls to become familiar with family stories and create a connection to their ancestors.
Elder Quentin L. Cook said in April 2014:
"We finally have the doctrine, the temples, and the technology for families to accomplish this glorious work of salvation. I suggest one way this might be done. Families could hold a 'Family Tree Gathering.' This should be a recurring effort"
("Roots and Branches," Ensign, May 2014, 47).
These family history activities is accomplishing exactly this charge. Well done!

Viewfinder: Reflecting on Museum Education
Viewfinder is an experimental publication about museum education from the National Art Education Association's Museum Education Division that aims to engage colleagues in ongoing dialogues about museum education today by combining the speed and timeliness of a blog with the rigor of a peer-reviewed journal. Featuring experiments, inviting critiques, and inspiring cross-generational dialogue, Viewfinder is a resource that is not dedicated solely to best practices, but rather documents the value of rigorous reflection. Articles will be solicited via the NAEA listserv and social media outlets. Colleagues will be invited to submit a summary/abstract and indicate the number of years they have worked in the field. Peer editors will also be found through the listserv, and the publication's organizers will pair each accepted submission with an editor who is in a different "generation" than the article writer. If you'd like to be involved, whether as an author or peer reviewer, or if you have ideas or comments on topics or themes, we would love to hear from you! Please read this article for more information.
Viewfinder Issue 4 – Intentionality and the Role of the Museum Educator: Letter from the Editors
Social Justice in Museum Education: A VIEWFINDER SERIES
Many art museum educators are engaging with the field of social justice, profoundly changing institutional understandings of equity and broadening audience engagement. How is this achieved and maintained? Through intentionality — reflection, mindfulness, constant learning and collaboration.

Step Into Spring with Some Asian Greens
When farmers markets abound with fiddlehead ferns, baby artichokes and spring onions, spring has sprung. While I am infatuated with these seasonal treasures, spring also brings an abundance of tender greens favored in Asian cooking, like chrysanthemum greens (a.k.a. tong ho in Chinese, shingiku in Japanese or tan o in Vietnamese), a grassy, herbaceous and leafy plant that can be eaten raw in a salad or tossed into soups for fragrance. I'm so happy that farmers --and grocers -- are finally also carrying more Asian staples like tatsoi, mizuna and pea sprouts. When plucked fresh, these tender greens are sweetly pungent and a great alternative to other baby lettuces like mesclun, especially when tossed with a bit of sesame oil, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Or, heat up your wok with a couple cloves of sliced garlic, and quickly stir-fry these tender greens.
Tofu Chrysanthemum Salad (Ma Lan Tou)
Serves 6
Get your hands on a fresh bundle of Asian spring greens, and toss them in this cold salad that is a mainstay in Shanghainese kitchens. We like to make this cold dish with chrysanthemum greens (and plenty of cilantro) but it works just as well with other tender greens. A hint: salt the greens to bring out the water before combining with the other ingredients.
¼ cup light soy sauce 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon ground white pepper ¼ cup Asian sesame oil 1 bunch chrysanthemum leaves, thick stems discarded, leaves finely chopped ½ bunch fresh cilantro, stems discarded and leaves coarsely chopped 2 scallions (green and white parts), finely chopped 1 pound firm tofu
Not to be confused with the Sichuanese dish ma po tofu, ma lan tou is a refreshing and easy-to-compose cold salad that is frequently served as part of a selection of small plates at the start of a Shanghainese feast. Along with crumbled firm tofu, chrysanthemum leaves (known as shungiku leaves in Japanese, or tong ho in Cantonese) are the co-star of the dish. They impart a fragrant and mildly grassy note to this herbaceous salad, and are easily found in Asian groceries (particularly when in season, from spring to autumn). Excellent raw, young chrysanthemum greens are also a great addition to soups and the Japanese hot pot, shabu shabu.
Whisk the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sea salt, white pepper, and sesame oil together in a small bowl.
Combine the chrysanthemum leaves, cilantro, and scallions in a large bowl.
In another large bowl, crumble the tofu with your hands. Add the salad mixture to the tofu and toss to combine. Then add the dressing, toss, and let the salad marinate for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator to let the flavors mingle. Do not leave the dressed salad for more than an hour, or the greens will start to wilt. Serve the salad chilled.
TIP: This dish is for cilantro lovers. If you don't fall into that category, feel free to substitute flat-leaf parsley for the cilantro.

ohhhh, i'm so excited for today's guest blogger - jill from the fab blog "homemade by jill"!!! i luv, luv, luv her stuff and her tutorial for today's post is no exception. i literally squealed in delight when it popped up in my inbox!!! so adorable!!! i just wanted to reach through the screen and grab this insanely talented ladies cute sock animal rattle and steal it! i don't think i could make one as cute as hers...it's so precious.
i hope you all enjoy it and please, go over and say hello to jill....her blog is addictive and filled with projects, crafts, sewing and lots of wonderful eye candy...trust me...you'll luv it and you'll luv her!!!! jill's also in her third trimester and i just want to extend a huge thank you for taking the time to do this fun post even though she is achy and very pregnant - big hugs jill!!!!!
now let's hear from jill............
Congratulations to Shannon! I am so honored to be part of the celebration welcoming baby Harper into this world.
I always find myself making little projects for babies, but being less than six weeks away from greeting our own baby girl, I am in full-fledged baby mode at this point. I'm really glad to be participating in the Babyhood Bonanza because it forced me to take a break from cranking out all my old stand-by projects and come up with something new.
Therefore, I bring you a new twist on a classic craft, the sock animal rattle:
These sock bunnies have all the makings of your little one's favorite first toy ... they are soft and squishy, have chomp-able, pull-able ears, and best of all ... make a pleasant jingle when you shake them.
The great thing about sock animals is that they are fully customizable - you choose the sock with your ideal pattern and colors, and can create just about any animal imaginable. My tutorial will show you how to make happy bunny rattles, but it can just as easily become a monkey, cat, dog, bear, (insert animal of your choice here).
The sock animal head each has a single jingle bell inside the stuffing, which gives it a pleasantly muted jingle.
I couldn't decide if I liked the straight handle or looped handle better, so I'll show you how to make both versions. You'll also learn two ways to sew the head.
Pop over to Homemade by Jill to see the full Sock Animal Rattle Tutorial HERE!

The November 11th iLearn Exchange looked at intensive or compressed curriculum and stimulated some great discussion. Dr Peter Keegan outlined the approach Ancient History has taken in Session 3 units. Ms Scarlet An talked about the FBE 'KickStart' initiative and working with convenors on developing intensive units. Thank you, Peter and Scarlet!
Dr Peter Keegan, Ancient History
The unit that Peter used as an illustration is a 'Planet' unit that is 1st year or level 1. In session 3, it has between 250-300 students. One convenor manages and marks the unit.
Peter's advice:
Preparing students
- Look at your student cohort by the first week. They can be mixed: some might be intending to use the session to finish their degree program; some will be domestic, some international; for some, session 3 is the only chance to take a course they are interested in. Students might also be taking two session 3 units, which is very demanding. If you have access to student records, you can check whether they have experience in your subject and so gauge what support they may need.
- Students coming to it as a new field don't know much about Ancient History, History in general or even Arts, so some support resources, from information on referencing style to bibliographic guidance, are useful. Especially if they are coming into a 200 or 300 level unit without experience in the subject, students need to be informed of what is required. Have a prepackaged info memo that is sent to students.
Q: Do you expect any work from students before the start of session?
A: No, this is difficult as session 2 ends a week before session 3 starts. I open up the unit a week early and have all content available from the start.
- Quizzes take time to set up but are very useful for engaging students and structure their work through the content. Suggestion: have three sets of quiz questions that are rotated each year.
- Online discussion can be chaotic – try to keep it restricted to one thread per discussion.
- Note that students won't read every post and you should include information in lectures and in as many other places as you can.
- Use announcements and dialogue – announcements are instrumental in keeping students informed.
- Christmas break is useful for students to do reading over this time and prepare. The uni is online, but note that there is no support for any tech problems, so you should try to avoid making assessments due in that time.
- For design, keep it simple and clear.
- Need to find a balance between content and the time students have. Select key content. Don't want to overload on readings etc.
Q: How do you have the equivalent of a 13 week course in 5 weeks?
A: Intensive format looks at depth rather than breadth of content.
- Set parameters on your availability at the beginning of program to establish reasonable expectations.
- For assessment, be careful to have something you can manage for the expected number of students. As always, but especially for Session 3, alignment and clarity on assessment is important.
As students may be in different timezones, be specific about the local time for deadlines on assessments.
- Session 3 can roll mercilessly into Session 1, so bear in mind what you need to do to get marks in – build in a little leeway if you need to keep an eye on preparing for S1.
See more on Peter's approach and other case studies on the Session 3 section of the MQ site.
KickStart program, Ms Scarlet An
The Faculty of Business and Economics have worked on a 'KickStart' initiative in which some units have opened up content to students about two weeks in advance. This enables students to get oriented and even judge the suitability of the unit before the official start of session.
In the intensive-mode pilot, convenors in FBE worked as a group, so were able to see what each person was doing and share ideas. Some units opened up only a couple of topics before session so students wouldn't be overwhelmed, while others opened up all the content from the start. Some convenors looked at ways of being more flexible in stretching the time out and even scheduling a break. Of course, this was possible in the pilot trial, but would be difficult in a more strictly scheduled session.
One online unit uses Blackboard Collaborate (virtual classroom) to deliver content rather than through prerecorded video. As content in the unit is dynamic and turns about quickly, the convenor wanted to try the webinar format. She also used a webinar session to allow students to drop in and get to know their convenor.
Students tended to use text to interact rather than audio. While a webinar takes place at a particular time, students can access a recording if they are unable to attend live. Sessions between 6 and 7pm tend to work best – however, for example, convenors and students with children might find this timing difficult.
Feedback on intensive mode so far has been positive, with participants experiencing more connection and interaction with teachers. For example, due to the short time frame, students receive assignment feedback quickly. Scarlet is continuing to collect further data on the pilot.
See more KickStart information on the MQ site.

Living the PLUR life, wearing kandi, and listening to that tiki-tiki music may be all the rage right now.
But there's one pachanga that cranks up más volumen que Ultra Music Festival, Winter Music Conference, and Miami Music Week combined. And it's called Calle Ocho.
Every year, two million cubanos, dominicanos, venezolanos, puertorriqueños, and all kinds of other 305ers flock to SW Eighth Street for America's largest block party to rep their homeland, make more noise than your Hialeah neighbors on Nochebuena, drink ice-cold Coronas, and get high off yerba mate.
See also: Choc Quib Town on Immigration Policy: "It's Stupidity ... The U.S. Was Made by Immigrants"
Maybe it's the alluring smell of lechón asado, the cheesy corn arepas that drip with grease at every bite, or the mamis of Calle Ocho in bikini tops emblazoned with their native land's flag that attract all those party people to Little Havana. But whatever it is, we know one thing's for sure: This fiesta is also about la música.
Since 1978, Latin music legends Desi Arnaz, Óscar D'Leon, Gloria Estefan, Willy Chirino, and of course, yo' chico Pitull have reigned as King (or Queen) of Calle Ocho. And this year, superstar Daddy Yankee will wear the crown.
With "El Jefe" as king, we predict muchas mujeres in tribal wear doing the "Limbo" onstage with the Puerto Rican papi. But the Kiwanis Club of Little Havana will also be honoring "La Reina de la Salsa," Celia Cruz, by unveiling a shiny silver sculpture in her honor.
So chug some cerveza and get ready for that salsa, merengue, reggaeton, bachata, y hip-hop at this year's celebración.
Univision 23/Univision Radio Stage. SW 27th Avenue (north). Calle Ocho is "Una Fiesta Pa' Los Rumberos." Not because it's the only time of year when all of los callejeros de Miami come out and party, but because the Grammy Award-winning rumbera herself, Albita, says so. Throw in some salsita from El Hijo de la Salsa Frankie Ruiz Jr., and you've got the recipe for tremendo baile y gozadera at the Univision 23/Univision Radio anchor stage.
Miami Herald/El Nuevo Herald Stage. At SW 24th Avenue (north). Like tomorrow's news, we don't really know what to expect from the Miami Herald/El Nuevo Herald stage. All we know is Miami's favorite Latin fusion band, ¡Suénalo!, will be there, leading la conga with some "Afro-Latin-babymakin'-descarga-funk."
Telemundo 51 Pep Boys Stage. At SW 23rd Avenue (north). Vamos pa' la timba with Timbalive. Get your hips gyrating with Conjuto Impacto, sway with Melina "La Muñeca de la Salsa" Almodovar, and muévete with los reggaetoneros Angel y Khriz at the Telemundo 51 stage. With all that rumba, you'll likely wind up grinding on a stranger. Guess that's why Tu Canal will be capturing every second of la loquera.
Coca-Cola Stage. At SW 22nd Avenue (north). There's nothing more refrescante than an ice-cold Coca-Cola. Except maybe "La Princesa de la Bachata" and Latin Grammy nominee Leslie Grace asking you to "Be [Her] Baby," el salsero Frankie Negrón confessing he's "Enamorado de Ti," and the Celia Cruz All-Stars shouting, "¡Azucar!"
Mega 94.9 Stage. At SW 22nd Avenue (10th Street Road). What's the sound of Miami? Is it the pounding uhntz-uhntz that shakes the streets of South Beach? Is it the symphony of car horns and emergency sirens on the 836 during 5 p.m. traffic? Is it your neighbors yelling at 8 a.m. on a Sunday? Nope, it's Mega 94.9, "El Sonido Joven de Miami." At the intersection of 10th Street Road and 22nd Avenue, you'll find Chino y Nacho, the Latin Grammy-winning Venezuelan duo -- not to mention Elvis Crespo (the man behind the merengue classic "Suavemente" that even gets los gringos moving their feet) and el gran reggaetonero Tony Dize, who'll never forget you, even though he promised he would in "Prometo Olvidarte."
The Louder Side Stage. At SW 19th Avenue. Need a break from all that twirling and booty-poppin'? Escape to the Louder Side stage, where for the first time Calle Ocho will add an element of EDM, rock, and pop with music from Wyld Fly, Turnaround Sunshine, and other Magic City artists. Guess you can't escape the tiki-tiki music after all.
Venue Magazine, MegaTV, SBS Radio, Dominican Republic Department of Tourism Stage. At SW 17th Avenue (north). Flying in from la Republica, Johnny Ventura and his band will be reppin' los Domicanos at this year's street fest. Considered by many to be "the father of modern merengue," Ventura has released 105 albums throughout his career and practically revolutionized the genre. He was also awarded the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. So yeah, being in the presence of el merenguero is like living history.
Simple Mobile Folkloric Stage. At SW 13th Court (south). Get cultured at the Simple Mobile Folkloric stage, where over 14 folk groups from Costa Rica, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, and Bolivia will walk around in puffy yellow dresses and colorful feathers, and do the waka-waka.
Mr. 305 Inc. United Nations Megastage. At SW 12th Avenue (north). What's the closest thing to seeing Pitbull at Calle Ocho? Checking out los artistas signed to Armando Christian Pérez's music label at the Mr. 305 Inc. United Nations Megastage. Pit's protégé Sensato will be there, and so will Fito Blanko and a bunch of other Mr. 305 Inc. superstars. ¡Dale!
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

Power 96 Stage. At SW 8th Avenue. It's only fitting that the King of Calle Ocho would be seated upon a musical throne atop the stage with the best party rep in the 305. That's right -- Power 96, "Miami's Party Station" will be hosting el rey Daddy Yankee as he brags about "La Nueva y La Ex," goes "boom, boom, boom, boom" with "La Rompe Carros," and sprays the audience with "Gasolina." Oh, and dancehall star Sean Paul will also be tearing it up with your fave Power 96 DJs Zog, Def, and Cato K.
Por cierto, la fiesta nunca para en Calle Ocho.
Calle Ocho 2014. Sunday, March 9, at the corner of SW Eighth Street and 10th Avenue, Miami. The festival begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 7 p.m. Admission is free. Visit carnavalmiami.com.

Bloomberg is reporting: The $616 million settlement SAC Capital reached with the SEC over insider trading allegations may not be a done deal.
Judge Victor Marrero, presiding over the insider trading case against SAC, says that the "ground is shaking" on the agreement because he questions the fact that SAC would not have to admit wrongdoing as the settlement stands now.
It's a practice that's been questioned by Judges more and more since the start of the financial crisis.
The SEC came to the record settlement with the embattled hedge fund earlier this month. It's meant to address allegations that one of SAC's subsidiaries, CR Intrinsic, used inside information to inform trades on four different companies, Dell, Nvidia Corp and drug makers Elan Corp and Wyeth Inc, now a part of Pfizer.
It all seemed open and shut once the deal was announced. The only thing left was the Judge's approval, and now that's been thrown into questions.
Settlement or no, it's important to note that this does not clear SAC for any other allegations the SEC may bring (or has already brought) against the firm.
So we'll see what happens.

Leveraging Social Media
I know what you're thinking… 'Another article on social media?" But read on… there are some things you may not know.
Social media is a viable tool for marketing your products and services and managing your brand identity. It is inexpensive, easy to work with and offers a great network of potential clients. Daily, millions of people use social networking applications. Social media is all about conversation and building effective relationships. Facebook, Twitter,
Google+, Instagram amongst others are all avenues to sell your company. Social media is powering the world in ways we could never have imagined years back. Today, connections are formed out of thin air. Imagine the millions of people that daily use social networking applications.
Did you know that 22% of Americans use social media multiple times in a single day? Selling your company in today's competitive market involves a savvy use of social media. There are tons of social media applications and websites available; however there is need to choose carefully before investing your time and energy in one. You should invest in a platform that supports your brand image.
Till date, Facebook remains the best platform for creating brand awareness – its user base is diverse and nearly 75% of adult Americans use it. Tell me, how then is this not a wonderful channel through which you could build your brand and sell yourself to the world?
Setting up a Facebook page isn't enough. It needs to be interactive, drive conversation and promote your brand all at the same time. If you only promote your products and services you will lose viewers. Try adding interesting tidbits, for example, a blurb about the history of pasta. To encourage conversation, you could post trivia and questions like "when you were growing up, what was your favorite comfort food?" How about a category for each day of the week: Monday's – "Foodies, Can You Guess This?" Tuesday's- "What's Happening in the Kitchen Today." Wednesday's- "Recipe of the Week" , Thursday's – Event of the Week" and so on. Endeavor to provide your followers with something that piques their interest and that they can as well share to other people.
Businesses, especially those that rely heavily on images have lately have been flocking to Instagram in droves and rightly so because Instagram allows you to sell your company by posting images and short videos. While many companies have difficulty getting relevant content, we are very fortunate, everyday there is a new event to capture. How lucky are we that we have a professional photographer at most of our events. Make sure when posting to give the photographer photo credit.
There is the option of Facebook group page or business (fan) pages. Business and fan pages let you measure your traffic. With fan pages, you can add feeds from other applications like YouTube Box, Flicker, and Twitter. For Facebook groups, you don't have that many options. When your fans take action on your page, their actions will be documented on the news feeds of their personal pages. Their friends could see the news feeds and check out your business page. Fan pages stand out on profiles, whereas group pages get lost in the mix. Fan pages enable you to provide unlimited news or updates to your fans while Facebook groups are limited to a definite number.
Don't forget about Pinterest; a wonderful social network where you can reach people. When setting up your business page make it easy for visitors and name your boards; Culinary, Design, Cocktails, Weddings, and for each photo make sure you add descriptive words so it can continue to be re-pinned.
Video sharing services like YouTube allow you to add captivating videos of your products and services. When using YouTube, make sure you properly brand the beginning and end of your video with contact information and a call to action.
Blogging is also a wonderful way to sell your brand. Start a blog that is attached to your Facebook and website. Search engines easily pick up blogs. Platforms such as WordPress and Joomla make it easy to promote yourself to your target audience. On these platforms, you could post on topics that would pique the interest of your audience and they would find educational while at the same time highlighting your unique skills and experience. Did you know that Blog posts with images receive 94% more views? Don't be afraid to make use of visual content. Email marketing is also very beneficial. You could send an email blast teaser to direct people to your Facebook, blog or website. Another way could be adding link icons of your blogs, Facebook pages, Instagram and Twitter accounts to your email signature and all internet direct mail.
Keep in mind that people who post on your Facebook page, Tweet about you or comment on your blog want to be heard. It is extremely important that you engage with your social community and answer or comment promptly.
With building your brand on social media, you should be careful who is representing your brand. Your employees play a big part in brand management and will need to be screened by you. This is important with all social network sites. Every single piece of content shared should support your brand identity. Poor choices of content, images tend to reflect poorly on your company. Set guidelines for your team to follow, suggest different accounts for business and personal and encourage them to play an active role in the company brand strategy.
The old expression, it's not what you know; it's who you know holds true in this new age marketing strategy. Continue to tweet, blog and post and watch your efforts flourish.

The Oregon State football team released its depth chart Tuesday for the Beavers' season opener against Eastern Washington.
After announcing Sean Mannion as his starting quarterback Monday, coach Mike Riley is still undecided at some key positions. He listed split ends Richard Mullaney and Obum Gwacham as co-starters, and did the same with left cornerbacks Sean Martin and Steven Nelson.
He did, however, list seniors Mana Rosa and John Braun as the starting defensive tackles. Of course, that may not prove particularly important since Riley said on his conference call this morning that he plans to rotate five players — Braun, Rosa, Siale Hautau, Edwin Delva and Brandon Bennett-Jackson — at those positions.
Below is the two-deep. Co-starters are separated with an "OR," while first and second stringers are separated by a comma.
Split end: Richard Mullaney OR Obum Gwacham, JC Grim
Slotback: Kevin Cummings, Malik Gilmore
Left tackle: Michael Phillipp, Sean Harlow
Left guard: Josh Andrews, Roman Sapolu
Center: Isaac Seumalo, Roman Sapolu
Right guard: Grant Enger, Josh Mitchell
Right tackle: Sean Harlow, Nolan Hansen
Tight end: Connor Hamlett, Caleb Smith
Quarterback: Sean Mannion, Cody Vaz
Tailback: Storm Woods, Terron Ward
Flanker: Brandin Cooks, Micah Hatfield
Fullback: Tyler Anderson, Ricky Ortiz
Left end: Dylan Wynn, Lavonte Barnett
Left tackle: Mana Rosa, Siale Hautau
Right tackle: John Braun, Edwin Delva
Right end: Scott Crichton, Devon Kell
"SAM" linebacker: Jabral Johnson, Darrell Songy
Middle linebacker, Joel Skotte, Rommel Mageo
"WILL" linebacker: Michael Doctor, Caleb Saulo
Left cornerback: Sean Martin OR Steven Nelson, Dashon Hunt

I needed an attorney for a child support modification hearing that was scheduled to be in three days. I was worried that I would be blocked in my attempt to get the modification and that an attorney would not have time to take and prepare my case.
Oscar agreed to take on the case and was able to quickly get organized and prepared. I was most impressed with both his ability to handle this case so quickly. He was very efficient and did a great job for the price. I would recommend Oscar to anyone.
Thanks so much!

Yoga Sutra Weekend
with Erin Ehlers
Saturday, January 28: noon to 3pm
Sunday, January 29: 9am to noon
Open to all levels; expertise in the Yoga Sutra is not required!
Cost is $90
For those attending the workshop, the studio will be open at 7am on Sunday, Jan 29 for self-practice (yoga, meditation, other silent practices).
The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali are the earliest writings that defined yoga, yoga practice and the obstacles that yogis may encounter on the path. With clarity and brevity, these verses are the underpinning for yoga as we practice it today.
We'll discuss the murky history that surrounds the both the author and the history of the text, we'll learn the basics of Sanskrit pronunciation so that we can chant selected verses from the Sutra and we'll spend time learning about the philosophical system of yoga.
This weekend is open to all levels of familiarity with the Sutra, from total novice to the well-read. Please bring your own copy (any translation or version) to the weekend. Erin recommends the translations by BKS Iyengar (Light on the Yoga Sutras Of Patanjali), Edwin Bryant (The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali), Barbara Stoler Miller (Yoga: A Discipline of Freedom) and Kofi Busia (available on his website as a pdf). While you are not expected to have read the entire text thoroughly, a familiarity will give you some perspective as you learn about this guide to yoga.
Please note: this weekend will not include any asana practice (though sitting on the floor for 6 hours is certainly it's own practice!). Please come prepared to chant, discuss, learn and question. Studio will be open at 7am on Sunday for self practice.

Netherlands Company Introduces Plastic Roads That Are More Durable, Climate Friendly Than Asphalt
The Netherlands is already home to the world's first solar road (or bike lane, technically). Now, the country could soon be the first to use recycled plastic as pavement.
The idea for plastic roads comes from VolkerWessels, a Netherlands-based construction firm. According to the company, plastic roads would be a "virtually maintenance free product" that's "unaffected by corrosion and the weather." The roads could handle temperatures as low as -40°F and as high as 176°F. The company says that this hardiness will make the roads' lifespans three times as long as typical asphalt roads.
According to the company, any type of recycled plastic can be used. The main goal, the company says, is to keep plastic out of the oceans.
The idea for plastic roads came after the company took a look at all the different road-related problems cities face, said Simon Jorritsma from InfraLinq, a subdivision of VolkerWessels and KWS Infra that works specifically with asphalt. Those problems included a future where oil — the main component of asphalt — is less available, as well as more immediate problems like flooding and road maintenance.
"For contractors, asphalt is a great and sound product to build roads," Jorritsma said in an email to ThinkProgress. "However, contractors have to meet more and more demands concerning noise reduction, water permeability, and flatness. These questions and conditions were the inspiration which has led to the idea of the PlasticRoad."
The company is also hoping to avoid some carbon dioxide emissions by switching asphalt roads to plastic ones. The carbon footprint of asphalt totals 1.6 million tons of carbon dioxide per year, the company says, so using recycled plastic instead could help cut down on some of those emissions.
Jorritsma said that using plastic instead of asphalt would cut down on the carbon dioxide required to produce, transport, and process asphalt. And, he said, because plastic roads are predicted to last longer than traditional roads, the CO2 associated with regularly replacing the surfaces will also be saved.
The concept is still in the idea phase — there aren't any plastic roads being tested in the Netherlands yet, and the company says it still needs to test the idea in a lab to see how it performs under different conditions; whether it's safe to drive on when wet, for instance. But the city of Rotterdam said this month that it was considering serving as a pilot for the project.
The Netherlands is no stranger to innovations in road technology. Last year, the country opened the world's first solar bike lane, a 230-foot stretch of road embedded with solar cells that are protected by two layers of safety glass. In the first six months of operation, the road produced more energy than expected: about 3,000 kilowatt-hours of energy, enough to power a single small household for one year. As of May, about 150,000 cyclists have ridden over the road.
Because the Netherlands is a relatively small but densely populated country, its people must think of new ways to be creative with space, Jorritsma said. Sustainability has, therefore, become an obvious creative solution.
"We think the Netherlands [is a] knowledge driven country," he said.

|We know how to have a good time.
It's very similar to working with mortar (which we did last week), but way more satisfying on several levels. First of all, it's faster to mix.
Between the nice consistency and the flexible rubber trowel, it goes on smoothly and easily. And it's a finish, so of course it looks really nice as it goes on.
Best of all for me, it's pretty much impossible to screw up. Just slap it on and then wipe off the extra.
|I really hope my kindergarten teacher isn't reading this. Sorry, Mrs. Chait.
|But it's nothing a damp sponge can't fix!
So, ladies and gentlemen and those who have yet to make up their minds, behold our backsplash:
|Hermie is happy, and so are we!
Despite how awesome this looks, I STILL can't use the kitchen. The grout is very vulnerable to stains and splashes until it's sealed, and we have to wait 24 hours for it to set before applying the sealer. Realistically, we probably won't get to that until we get a few days off later in the week. Sigh.
My next task for tonight: figuring out how to make rice in the microwave. Anyone want to go out for dinner this week?


text: Best Photos are chosen from time to time by the admin Oldwoman. Users can submit their nominations to her by PetMail at any time. Please do not submit your own photos. The idea is to nominate pet photos uploaded into albums by other users. The photos must not be photoshoped and must be of good quality - good composition, light and focus. Rainbow pets are an exception. They can have photoshopped pictures and montages chosen for the Best Photo, but the pet photo must constitute the predominant component of the picture. Pictures containing a number of animals or the pets face superimposed onto a human body will not qualify.

Drove over 468 miles this weekend - 3 trips back and forth, from home to Hugo's home rink and back. During those drives I stopped along the way enough times to make 20 pictures.
One referent I kept coming back to was that of things that are not what they used to be. That's a referent which is in great supply throughout the Adirondacks / northern NY. Although I suspect that this is not the only region in the good ole' US of A where that is the case.
Maybe there's new bod of work in it.

I'm a longtime public radio reporter who's recently launched a podcast all about women and the workplace - it's called The Broad Experience. If you'd told me a year ago I'd now be hosting a podcast I'd never have believed you, but earlier this year I was a fellow on CUNY's entrepreneurial journalism program, and that's where The Broad Experience got its start. I am doing this on top of the rest of my life (I receive no payment for this) so it is not nearly as developed as I'd like. I've produced nine episodes so far. Each is short - between eight and 13 minutes.
I am still very much trying to work out how to build an audience, appeal to people etc. I really don't have any photos other than those of a couple of contributors. The famous 'we can do it' picture is a temporary ID for the show's Facebook page. It sums up what I talk about on the show: that women are half the population but we're not nearly in nearly as many top positions as we should be (but that we can do it), and there are many reasons for this, some obvious (babies/child rearing) some far less so (you don't shed thousands of years of socialization in a few decades of feminism!) What I try to do on the show, with my interviewees, is bring thoughtful analysis to the reasons why women aren't doing as well as they could in the workplace and, through the insights offered in our conversations, provide a takeaway for listeners, an 'aha' moment. I have been told by a number of listeners that they find it 'inspiring'. I do have some male listeners but obviously I expect to appeal to women more than men: smart women who like ideas and care about this stuff.
One big thing I want to work on: when I hear the word 'gender' I think 'uh-oh'. My big concern with my show is that when a lot of people hear 'women' or 'gender' they automatically think 'worthy' - i.e. something they *ought* to be interested in but that will probably be preachy. My show is not like that but how do I convey on the homepage and elsewhere that this podcast is not about whining? This is a a challenge and I'd really appreciate any input you have on this.
I know this show could have a potentially large audience but it's a question in part of letting them know I exist. I did start to go down the path of getting a logo designed but didn't like what the designer was coming up with, so dropped it and due to other commitments haven't started the search again.
This is the site: http://www.thebroadexperience.com
I'm pasting the homepage copy here:
The Broad Experience is a new podcast that brings thoughtful conversation, ideas - and a little attitude - to the subject of women and the workplace. You'll hear interviews with influential women (and men), lively debates and stories that illuminate women's complicated role in modern life. Listen here or subscribe via iTunes. You can find the most recent episode below. Check out the links above for previous episodes, a bit about your host, Ashley Milne-Tyte, and the Broadly Speaking blog.
So far we've covered topics like why so few women work in tech (and why it matters), how race can play out at work, whether the glass ceiling still exists and whether female entrepreneurship is all it's cracked up to be. We dig into all this while giving women some of the tools they need to navigate the workplace and find success. Which isn't always as straightforward as it sounds.
Women still have a very different experience of work than men. We're doing brilliantly in the education system and out-graduating guys. But although 60 percent of women work, only three percent of CEOs are female. Sure, not everyone wants those top jobs. We all define success differently. But many women are ambitious, yet we don't quite reach our full potential. Often the debate about why is boiled down to one thing: babies. It's more complicated - and interesting - than that.
The workplace needs to change and so do we. Join the conversation.
That's The Broad Experience.
I have fiddled with the copy on many occasions. I have also asked listeners/friends for feedback. I made one change after a woman said she had no idea what one sentence meant and I realized it was fairly British in tone (that's where I grew up). I took the sentence out. Right now I'm fairly happy with this but I am too close to it to have proper perspective. Also, per my note above, does it say 'non whiny' to the extent I want it to?
The 'about' section I am also OK with. I want to come across as warm and myself. I AM the brand so it has to sound/feel like me. But again, my perspective is off. All the other stuff you need can be heard in the shows themselves, which are all on the website.
As for language to speak to differnet consituencies, I really don't have many constituencies - as far as I can see I only have the audience, i.e. listeners or site visitors. Investors - ha! Press, I honestly had not thought about that yet but I am not sure I would change anything specifically for any press. I am not a company, only a podcast. I can't even pay myself. There is little hope of hiring anyone in the near future.

Nov 8:
As I've said before, investors aren't an issue for me. The people I am most concerned about appealing to are potential sponsors or outlets that might broadcast my show.
- How is The Broad Experience different from any other women's career destination? Aren't there websites for this kind of thing?
Answer: There are indeed, but TBE is more than a show about careers. Sites like The Grindstone, The Daily Muse and others all offer a lot of advice and articles that suggest '7 ways to wow your boss' - that kind of thing. Mine is a show about *ideas* - ideas about WHY women are still lagging career-wise and HOW we can change that. It offers listeners a takeaway but also informs them in a thoughtful way - that really is the big difference between me and others, the fact that this is thoughtful, thought-provoking content delivered by someone who is a professional broadcaster and knows her stuff. Also because this is audio it's extremely convenient to listen to - whenever and whereever you want. And audio is an intimate, engaging medium. You pick up insights that really only come from a conversation between two people.
- Market demand?
Fewer than 4% of CEOs in the US are female. 14% of senior executives are female. Yet women outgraduate men at the undergrad level and, now, the graduate level as well. So women are clearly interested in having fulfilling careers. And look at the reaction that Atlantic article by Anne-Marie Slaughter got on women not being able to have it all. This topic is clearly of interest to many. Something is going wrong, and it is not all about babies. There are many subtle and not so subtle reasons for the gap and I talk about all of them with the guests on my show. Women and the workplace has become an even bigger topic since Slaughter wrote her piece yet no radio show or podcast discusses this on a regular basis.
- How are you building audience?
Through a combination of channels: tweeting and sharing on the show's Facebook page and sometimes my own account as well, sending out an email to my list once a new show is made, having other people share it, speaking on panels at places like Sarah Lawrence and CUNY Journalism School, having a monthly slot on WLRN, Miami public radio, and via The Women's International News Gathering Service, which has aired several of my shows during the last few months. I am still working on approaching potential partners (such as sites that concentrate on women's issues, especially women in business - I've been featured on a couple of those) and sponsors and of course I continue to approach public radio station managers.
- How do you intend to make money?
Good question. My plan is to find a sponsor or sponsors who can fund a certain number of shows for a set number of months. In the long run I plan to place a 'donate' button on the site so true fans can give a small monthly amount and help the show be sustainable (this is how many successful podcasts make money). I need to build audience first. The bigger the audience, the easier it will be to get a rotating cast of sponsors for different shows. I also plan to make money from events built around the topics I cover in the podcast.
- But how many people really listen to podcasts?
About 17% of Americans listen to at least one podcast each month. Listeners skew slightly more male. That's still millions of women listening, though. But podcasting behavior is changing from the iTunes model (i.e. click and download and listen on the go) to the smartphone model, i.e. i have a smart phone, I want to listen to anything on-demand. My show can be downloaded and listened to or listened to on demand thanks to SoundCloud's technology.
- Do you really think there's enough to talk about on the topic of women and work on a regular basis?
Yes. I wondered about this too in the beginning but since starting to produce the show listeners have sent me ideas, I've come up with ideas I'd never thought about before, etc. Also 'women and work' is pretty broad. I intend to talk about anything that touches on that topic, just as, while a reporter for Marketplace (public radio) I could turn any story into a business story as long as there was some kind of economic angle in there. I am practiced at this stuff.
November 15 task #1:
Short statement: The Broad Experience is a podcast about women and work that gives women an edge at the office.
Longer statement:
The Broad Experience is a podcast that's full of ideas about how women can thrive in the workplace. It informs and entertains while giving listeners plenty of 'aha' moments. There's a takeaway that women (and men) can use in their lives and particularly in their jobs. With women making up fewer than four percent of CEOs, something is clearly going wrong between the education system and the corner office. The reasons are complex (it's not all about babies) and worth talking about. Host Ashley Milne-Tyte, a veteran public radio reporter, discusses the issues with smart, influential guests and delivers a short, thoughtful show you can listen to at home or on the go.

Scenes from my bed on a windy Fall morning. I'm a chronic sleeper-inner. I don't mean to, but I do, basically every day. Unless there is a meeting. I'm queen of waking up, doing my daily insta-post, and going back to bed for hours. You should try it. It's amazing.
My bed nest is amazing. So comfortable. Impossible to leave. I wonder so much why I ever do. I love the mornings with my boos all snuggled up, especially in the cold. It's this warm bubble we have before we have to venture out into the cold, harsh world filled with responsibilities and obligations and workloads and everything. The days we spend together all snuggled up while the world whips itself into a frenzy outside of us are my favorite. Because all that out there doesn't even matter. Just us in the warmth.

Arsenal will have to do something they don't normally do in the FA Cup if they want to continue in the competition – travel outside London.
Playing out a 0-0 draw at the Emirates, Arsenal made 10 changes to the side that had defeated Leicester and they paid for it on the pitch with a lack of cutting edge.
So what did we learn?
1. Arsenal fans are fed up of playing Hull
The Emirates seemed to have more empty seats than normal during the game against Hull.
Was it because of the early kick-off? The fact that the game was on TV? That fans are broke? Or that they are simply fed up watching Arsenal play Hull in the FA Cup?
2. Mike Dean is really rubbish
Dean took charge of his first Arsenal match since his Chelsea debacle and took just seven minutes to get something wrong against Arsenal.
A clear handball in the box, Dean had no interest. Over the course of the match, however, he levelled things up a bit by being rubbish in favour of the Gunners.
Most of the time, Dean seems to really hate Arsenal. On Saturday he just didn't seem to know the rules at all.
3. Danny Welbeck is back – properly
Welbeck started for the Gunners and played 67 impressive minutes.
Looking sharp, quick, tricky and full of energy, you'd never know that it was his first start in ten months.
Some players need a while to find their groove, Danny has slipped straight back into his.
4. It's good that Opsina wants to leave
David Ospina had practically nothing to do against Hull and he still managed to look awful.
There's talk that he wants to leave in the summer after a season on the bench and Arsenal must surely be able to find a replacement for him that is a marked improvement.
5. Arsenal must practice hitting the keeper
Like reverse target practice, I sometimes wonder if the Arsenal players know the goal of football is to avoid the keeper rather than smack it straight at him.
This isn't Bullseye. There are no prizes for hitting a moving target. I'm looking at you especially, Theo Walcott.
6. Opposition keepers love the Emirates
added his name to the very long list of keepers who turn world class for the day when they arrive at the Emirates.
Pulling off spectacular saves that he freely celebrated, the Hull man will likely never play as well again. Typical.
