The word "safe" means: free from harm, danger or risk.
Safe sex is defined as using a male latex condom during any sexual activity where there is exposure to genitals and sexual fluids.
Some Health professionals and websites tell us we can have sex with anyone and as long as we wear a latex condom, no harm or danger will come to us. However, according to the latest research on condoms and their effectiveness in preventing STDs (sexually transmitted disease), condoms have been found to be anything but "safe".
If safe sex were truly "safe," condoms would eliminate the risk of STD transmission, but the NIH study reveals that condoms only offer risk reduction.
Read the back of any box of condoms and see that even condom manufacturers say that when condoms are used properly, they MAY help reduce the risk of catching or spreading many STDs.
Realize also, that correct use of condoms means using a condom with EVERY act of sex (no forgetting) and that the 5–7 steps for putting on and removing a condom MUST be followed (you can't make mistakes or you lose the benefit of the condom). And even if you use them correctly, condoms only reduce the risk of STDs, so you're still at risk.
Two things that condoms can't protect against…
Your Heart and Your Mind.
Condoms can't prevent the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual bonds that form when two people have sex.
Condoms can't reduce the risk and pain of heartbreak when relationships end.
Condoms don't protect against unwanted memories and connections to past sexual partners long after those bonds are broken.
Note: Testing for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is available at all center locations.

Too much too young? Kylie Jenner, 16, wears a VERY revealing white dress during photo shoot and shares picture with fans
Her sister Kendall may have just turned 18 over the weekend, becoming more mature in her age.
But many often forget that her little sister Kylie Jenner is still only sweet sixteen.
However, the young teenager looked years beyond her years by donning a very revealing dress in a photo shoot on Monday in Malibu.
Too much too young? Kylie Jenner donned a very revealing dress in what appears to be a photo shoot on Monday in Los Angeles
The youngest Kardashian/Jenner girl posed for the camera in a white mini dress featuring a revealing sheer panel at the front, that subsequently showed off a lot of skin.
The hemline of the attire was also very short in length.
Kylie's hair and make-up too were very mature, with her brown locks coiffed in tumbling waves and a rather heavy application of plum lipstick.
The teen's look was more akin to what one of her elder sisters would wear, such as Kim Kardashian.
And it seems Kylie's mother Kris Jenner wasn't worried about her daughter wearing the revealing ensemble as she was also present at the shoot, along with her sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian.
Kylie was right back to work after spending the weekend celebrating Kendall's 18th birthday.
The clan's all here: Kylie wore another revealing dress as she posed with her sister Khloe Kardashian
For the night out, she dressed more her age in a monochrome floral dress, teaming it with a pair of strappy ankle boots and fixing her long brunette locks into a side plait.
This time she had covered her face with a blue mask, much like her sister Khloe who had donned a matching pink one.
Kendall spend her actual birthday on Sunday with a modest masquerade dinner party with friends and family.
Under her mother's watchful eye: It seems Kylie's mother Kris Jenner wasn't worried about her daughter wearing the revealing ensemble as she was also present at the shoot
Kylie had started to look a bit bored between shots on the family shoot, but her mood soon brightened after a surprise visit from someone close.
pal Lil Twist who is Justin Bieber's BFF turned up to see her on location on Malibu beach and
was spotted chatting to the reality TV star and making her laugh and
Kylie has recently been linked to Jaden Smith after the pair have been seen out on a number of occasions together.
she seems to be spending a lot of time with rapper Lil Twist who
dressed in his trademark baseball cap and tight white top with some unique looking two tone trousers to see her.
Surprise: Kylie Jenner perked up after Lil Twist turned up to see her on set of her family photoshoot
Getting close: Kylie Jenner has previously been linked to Jaden Smith, but it looks like there could be a twist to that love story
Is she blushing? Kylie Jenner's mood brightened once her pal Lil Twist turned up to see her on the shoot
Making his move: Kylie look gorgeous in a peach coloured gown while rapper Lil Twist dressed in his trademark baseball cap and tight white top with some unique looking two tone trousers
This is dull: Kylie Kardashain looked bored during the photoshoot on the beach in Malibu before Lil Twist arrived
That's a bit better: The 16-year-old wore a somewhat more age appropriate frock for her sister Kendall's 18th birthday celebrations over the weekend
Masked: The teen wore a different mask inside the event held at Madeo's Italian restaurant
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians starlet was also joined by gal pals Spencer Johnson, Nicolette Sage, and Skye Savoy for the festivities, who brought along bags of expensive gifts including luxury names such as Balenciaga, Manolo Blahnik and Cartier.
The entire clan were there for the celebrations, including Bruce and Kris Jenner, who put on a show of unity despite their recent separation.
Even Kim and Kanye West showed up, with the pair opting not to wear costumes for the occasion.
Birthday girl: Kendall, who turned 18 over the weekend, poses with a friend at her birthday bash
Unlike Kanye, Kim, however, decided to place a few black stars across her brow in an attempt to look slightly more festive for the occasion.
Kayne, meanwhile, opted for a green bomber jacket, a T-shirt printed with a skeleton and a pair of ripped jeans, finishing off with his beloved Aztec boots.
And it appears that Kendall was celebrating for more than one reason, as documents seen by Radar indicated the reality TV star has just gained access to a privately-held trust account, known as Coogan's Trust, worth more than $300,000.
She reportedly has a net worth of $2 million, thanks to her the E! reality TV show, modeling and a number of endorsements, including acting as a brand ambassador for Seventeen Magazine.
RadarOnline.com had previously reported in 2012, she earned $100,000 for lending her name to OPI nail polish, of which $15,000 was deposited into her Coogan's Trust account.
Pretty: Kendall was treated to a cream frosted birthday cake

The formation of Google: Get to know everything about Google's incorporation!
Google is a multinational company with American technology that specializes in providing internet- linked products and services. The internet related products and services include Goggle search, search engine, enterprise products, productivity tools, technologies for online advertising, software and cloud computing. Google's maximum profits are obtained from the concept of Adwords, which means placing the advertisement near the search results list of pages. Its aim is to organise the information of the world and utilise it to make it useful and accessible universally. Google offers many digital productive software such as, email (Gmail), office suite known as Google Docs, a storage device known as Google drive, and a social networking website known as Google+. Google desktop product items specialize in web browsing, instant messaging and organising as well as editing the pictures or images.
The Formation Google occurred in March 1995 by Larry page and Ph.D student Sergey Brin as a research project at the Stanford University. They got an idea to start a search engine. As a part of the research project Larry had been searching for the mathematical properties and structure of the World Wide Web. They wanted to sell Google as a project but nobody turned up. Google is owned by both Larry Page and Sergey Brin with almost fourteen percent of the market share and fifty six percent of the controlling super voting stock having the voting powers and rights. Google was formed and incorporated by them on 4th September, 1998 as a privately held company. Brin and Page originally named their research project "Back rub", but later they changed the name to Google. Finally, Google's domain name was registered on 15th September, 1997.
In May year 2011, for the first time the huge number of visitors visiting Google in a month exceeded 1 billion. From May 2010 i.e. 931 million, it increased 8.4 percent i.e. more than one billion visitors. In 2013 (January), Google made an announcement that it had earned the annual revenue of US dollars fifty billion for the year 2012. Their annual revenue in 2011 was just US dollars thirty eight billion. So, this huge revenue figure made Google reach to the top. Since 2001 till 2014, Google has acquired several companies.
Further, in 1999, the company moved its head office to California which was the most famous area for the technology start ups with just eight employees (the figure contrasting to Google's present employees). In 2001, a patent for the Page rank mechanism was received by Google. The patent lists Page as the official inventor of Google. In 2013, Google announced the formation of a new company known as Calico. In September 2013, it is reported that Google operates more than seventy offices in almost more than fifty countries. On 27th September, 2013, Google celebrated its fifteenth year anniversary.
Google has lead to the development of the mobile operating system Android, a web browser named Chrome book.

DragonFly DP-5X WASP. Specifications. A photo.
DragonFly DP-5X WASP - American multi-purpose tactical unmanned aerial vehicle developed in 2006, the «DragonFly» company.
Design of unmanned aircraft model DragonFly DP-5X WASP started by US experts and engineers in the field of aerospace technology in 2003 year. The new device is expected initially to use exclusively as a civil drone, used for reconnaissance, patrol and observation flights, and others. However, later, an unmanned aerial vehicle is also interested and representatives of the military sphere, and therefore launched work on the improvement of the device for subsequent use in the United States Armed forces.
The first flight of an unmanned aircraft model DragonFly DP-5X WASP was promoted to 2006 year, and due to the fact that the device has proved very effective, and all planned tests have been successfully completed, the project went into production, but according to 2015 years, drone DragonFly DP-5X WASP is operated only in the civilian sector.
Sufficiently large size unmanned air tool DragonFly DP-5X WASP, does not impact on the maneuverability and controllability of the drone, while it is important to clarify the fact that the device has a relatively low weight - the weight of the UAV is only 108 kg.
The power plant is represented by a miniature UAV turbine engine, which allows the device to reach a maximum speed of its flight in 160 km \ h., While the maximum length of the drone finding is limited to three hours in the air.

Recent Game Summaries
2016 Week 12 vs NYJ (2 / 0 / 0 / 0 rec)
Gronk's day consisted of two deep shots, then he was quickly removed for the rest of the game with a back injury. This is clearly something that bares monitoring, as it has a ripple effect on the entire offense. Gronk was seen on the sidelines at portions of the game, hopefully indicating the injury isn't severe.
2016 Week 10 vs SEA (6 / 3 / 56 / 0 rec)
It was a fairly quiet day for Gronk, who took a couple big hits from defenders in the process. Gronk actually finished with his lowest target count since Tom Brady's return, thanks in part to steady coverage and a Seahawks defense that didn't let routes develop for much of the game. On a 4th and goal play, a defender definitely made contact with Gronk and the refs didn't call it, and that was probably the highlight of the big tight end's night, as the game ended thereafter.
2016 Week 8 vs BUF (7 / 5 / 109 / 1 rec)
Once again, Gronk led the way for receiving on the day, beasting his way to 109 yards. He had a 33 yard catch that had a signature Gronk moment, dragging defenders draped all over him for several yards. He also had a long 53 yard touchdown, outrunning a cornerback in a display of true athleticism. As usual, Gronk blocked well, and also set the record for all-time Patriots receiving touchdowns in his 7th season. Not too shabby.
2016 Week 7 vs PIT (4 / 4 / 93 / 1 rec)
Continuing the "he's back" theme, Gronk's highlight play was a long seam touchdown that had him beat his covering cornerback and a safety over the top. Gronk simply outran the CB, no small task, and showing his versatility, the play came from the left slot. Gronk also had a couple more chunk gains, but his reception total was lower due to the run-heavy gameplan from the Patriots.
2016 Week 6 vs CIN (9 / 7 / 162 / 1 rec)
Gronk is back, and he destroyed the Bengals for a career high in yardage to make his statement. Running free all day and whipping Bengals defenders left and right, Gronk caught chunk gain after chunk gain, and got his Gronk spike in to cap it all off. The touchdown was a short curl route with perfect ball placement by Tom Brady, allowing Gronk to go low to catch it with his hands. Gronk was also involved in a couple scuffles, as he chewed out Vontaze Burfict after Burfict's extremely dirty low cheap shot on Martellus Bennett. Regardless, Gronk looks good to go going forward, and will be a choice target for Tom Brady as usual.
2016 Week 5 vs CLE (7 / 5 / 109 / 0 rec)
After murmurs and whispers that Gronk's injury was worse than he was letting on, the big tight end came out and showed that he's just fine. Gronk caught multiple chunk gains, and though he didn't score, he rumbled his way to over 100 yards. As usual, he was tough to bring down, though he didn't blow by anyone or drag multiple defenders on a play like we're accustomed to seeing. Gronk will be back as the top tight end starting next week.
2016 Week 4 vs BUF (2 / 1 / 11 / 0 rec)
Gronk played more snaps on the day than weeks prior, but only hauled in one catch. He was in on many blocking plays, a sign he may be getting his legs under him. He should be good to go with Tom Brady returning barring a setback.
2016 Week 3 vs HOU (1 / 0 / 0 / 0 rec)
Gronk was on a clear snap count, only playing a handful of snaps. He blocked on all but one of them, and his lone target was a high overthrow in the end one. With 10 days til his next game, he should be more involved against the Bills.

(this is her dominant personality type)
(she also shows elements of this type)
43 | San Diego, California
A cup of coffee shared with a friend is happiness tasted and time well spent. ~ Anonymous~
She sees the big picture and can easily take the broad, long view of almost any topic. And she also has an adventurous side.
She enjoys new ideas and novel experiences which she wants to share with an enthusiastic partner.
She particularly enjoys people who like to play with abstract theories and ideas, provide insights, search for symbolic meanings in life and relationships and have a broad interest in the world.
A few excerpts from her personality test:
- I am always looking for new experiences
- My family and friends would say I have traditional values
- I pursue intellectual topics thoroughly and regularly
Her 9 interests
in her own words...
My ideal relationship would be with a woman who was not only my lover but my best friend. I would love to meet a woman who was passionate about the things in her life and who wanted to share her passion with me. I love to cook and create new dishes in the kitchen so a woman who would rather come over for a meal than go out would be perfect. Physically I am not the most feminine looking (I am however attractive) but I guarantee that looks are deceiving because emotionally, intimately, and domestically I am feminine. I was never one of those girls who looked like she belonged in a dress or a pair of sexy heels. Don't get me wrong I love this look and would love to meet a woman who could wear it well. However you don't have to be a heels girl. A woman in a nice sun dress or fitted jeans and sandals are equally as attractive to me. Overall I'm physically and mentally healthy and am looking for the same. I spend a moderate amount of time on fitness but by no means am I obsessive about it. I more prefer going for a swim, a ride around Coronado on my bike, jog by the beach or hike Mt. Woodson for my workout than pound out some weights or chase the read out screen on the elliptical at the gym. If I sound like someone you could be excited about I would love to hear from you.
About her:
Living situation:
- Live alone
- Live with pets
Religious affiliation:
- Spiritual but not religious
Relationship history:
- Single (never been married)
- $50,001 to $100,000
Eye color:

Update on plans for Exeter Bus Station
Exeter City Council has revealed that it is putting plans to close Exeter Bus Station temporarily on hold.
The council said it needs more time before appointing contractors to create its part of a major new redevelopment at the bus station site.
It had planned to start construction on the state-of-the-art new leisure complex St Sidwell's Point, and a new Exeter Bus Station, at the end of March. Completion was due in December 2018.
But due to the nature of the tender returns submitted by contractors bidding for the contract, the council has announced that it needs more time to conclude the procurement process.
It means the current Exeter Bus Station will not now need to close at the end March, as was originally planned. It will continue to operate as normal until further notice.
Stakeholders, including the bus operators and groups representing passengers, have been informed.
Much of the work to provide temporary bus facilities in the city centre is nearing completion, and the final works, which can only be undertaken immediately prior to use, will be completed so that the facilities will be ready when needed.
Shops and businesses located near the temporary bus facilities in Sidwell Street have been informed of the delay, and the parking will be reopened for use.
Details of the tenders will remain confidential while the discussions are ongoing, due to their commercial sensitivity.
Cllr Phil Bialyk, lead councillor with responsibility for the bus station redevelopment, said: "The tendering process is taking longer than we had predicted. We won't sign contracts or appoint contractors until we are absolutely sure that we get the best deal for Exeter.
"We are naturally disappointed that we can't get on with building these key developments as quickly as we would have liked.
"But we will not rush this process and it is right that we take our time. Contracts will only be signed when we can be sure that Exeter is getting the best value for money, and the best development possible.
"We are still confident that this will not impact on the timetable for delivery of the wider development."
The city council's developments are only one part of the major transformation planned at the bus station site.
Private sector developer the Crown Estate has outline planning permission to create a £75m development including a cinema, shops, restaurants, cafes and public open space at the top end of the bus station site.
A detailed application by the Crown Estate is expected to be discussed by the council's planning committee shortly. Outline permission for the scheme was granted in January 2016.
The council has stressed that the timetable for the overall redevelopment of this important site in the city centre hasn't changed and therefore won't impact on the delivery of the wider scheme.

Oak Park's Hruby honored with lifetime achievement award by Michigan State
By Brad Spencer
You won't see Paul Hruby riding on a float or marching in Michigan State's Homecoming parade on Oct. 22, despite the fact that his college alma mater recently honored him with the prestigious Jack Breslin Lifetime Achievement Award.
The longtime fixture at Oak Park's Ridgeland Common — they named the rink after the man in 2007 — will be busy coaching hockey here in Oak Park.
"They wanted me to come up and march in the parade with the Varsity Club, but this is my season," said Hruby. "I'll be busy here with hockey."
Two weeks ago, Hruby received the Breslin Award during a dinner for alumni at Michigan State. The next day he was honored after the first quarter of the football game.
"It's truly an honor to be selected," he said. "There are some great guys that have received the same award."
In 2006, Hruby, who played for the Spartans, was inducted into the Illinois Hockey Hall of Fame. He's been coaching hockey in the community since 1960.
Hruby is so beloved in the area that Oak Parker Mike Sankowski is currently trying to get the legendary coach his own parking space at Ridgeland Common, a place with limited parking. Sankowski has started a Facebook page for Hruby, who at 76 still takes to the ice for frequent skates.
"I had surgery on a knee a month or so ago, and I need to loosen it up. So, what better way to do that than skate."

Paul Hruby is inspirational. In his 80s he continues to find creative ways to involve all kids (girls! low-income! non-athletes!) in his beloved sport. Loaner hockey equipment. New program ideas. Telling parents to take buy the kid hot chocolate. AND, he continues to play his baritone. Really. Where is his parking space? Michigan State is right to recognize this alum who has contributed so much to his community.

I think of all the kids who first learned to love the ice through Coach Hruby. I remember when my middle son was a tot and would just lie on his back in the rink. I finally asked Coach Hruby if it was worth continuing lessons. His answer: "He'll get up and skate when he's ready." And he did. Thanks Coach!!

Congrats, Paul! Coach Hruby taught my sons to skate when they were toddlers, and is responsible for many people taking up ice hockey in their 30s, 40s and 50s. He has been a great positive influence on generations of Oak Park kids and adults, and is an inspiration to those who want to play hockey -- or live life -- with enthusiasm at any age.

I have known Paul since I first met him at Ridgeland Commons in 1966. It is because of Paul that all these years later I am still involved in the sport as a coach, hockey director and administrator. The goals that I try instill in the children are exactly what Paul instilled in thousands of kids for over half a century. His legacy will go on forever.

Coach Hruby's lifetime achievement, while centered on hockey, goes well beyond it. He is also a musician and worked as an educator. His is a lifetime worth honoring. Oak Park is lucky we've gotten the benefit of his tremendous generosity and talent.

President: Santiago Nariño, Northeastern '16
Santiago Nariño is from Bogota, Colombia, and his favorite Democrat is Elizabeth Warren. His interests include photography, film, music, and traveling. Santiago is a descendant of Antonio Nariño, the Colombian revolutionary. Santiago is a fifth year International Affairs and Economics student at Northeastern University. Santiago's interest in politics comes from his experience in community and grass root activism. During his last five years at Northeastern, he has been involved in leading CDM with legislative and community initiatives bringing forth the voices of Student Immigrant Movement, MIRA and other Latinx organizations in the Boston Area. His interest in Latinx politics started from a very early age, where he began to understand the immense diversity within the Latinx community. His involvement as President of the Latin America Student Organization during his sophomore year at Northeastern allowed him to develop a strong interest in community outreach and leadership training within the Latinx community. After spending 9 months in Brazil, he cam back and began in CDM as Latinx Caucus where he started the first social enterprise of its kind, called Latinx Action Group. With the Latinx Action Group, they have been able to grow his team of activists from just himself to a team of 5 motivated Latinxs that are dedicated to building bridges of knowledge for college Latinxs through voting registration, workshops and community engagement. Through his last year he was able to build a coalition of 175 students of color around the Boston area in 5 different colleges to the 13 workshops and 3 voting registration drives that were held by the Latinx Action Group. As President of CDM, he hopes to move forward with these three aims: 1) Engaging those who are often left out of the political process through culturally sensitive ways that allow us to create excitement about the political process. 2) Challenging every member of CDM by making an effort to understand diverse perspectives and critique our notions of what it means to be a Democrat. 3) Organizing a stable system of community and communication between the executive board team, the caucuses and the chapters in order to create a coalition-based model of activism.

After eight years in industry I resigned when I was offered an IBM Fellowship to attend the doctoral program at Purdue University. My boss thought I was crazy because my position and salary would never be met in the world of academics. I keep remembering the line Debra Winger expressed in the movie Terms of Endearment when her husband achieved tenure: "Great, now we'll be poor forever." College faculty choose to teach for different reasons. It can be for research, teaching, mentoring, or something else. At some point it comes down to imparting knowledge to others. We teach because we want students to learn. I teach because I want students to understand how information technology impacts businesses and other organizations."
On-line or Online? Facebook started out as "The Facebook." No one under 60 calls it "The Facebook" anymore. It was NEVER "The Twitter." In the 1990s, there was talk of "The Information Superhighway." If you ever use that phrase now….well, don't. The Interwebs? Ironically retro, only Online has replaced On-line. On line is solely for old people; avoid.
A Quiz: Should YOU Teach online? Like anything, teaching online will only help your career if you can do it well and succeed at it quickly. If you answer "yes" to most of these questions, you're ready to consider teaching online: Do you have a reliable computer and high-speed Internet connection? Good camera and good microphone? Are you comfortable learning new technology? Are you an independent worker who also knows how to ask necessary questions? Are you good at staying in touch with colleagues/supervisors? Do you rely a computer when you lecture -- for example do you create PowerPoint presentations and show video clips from TED? Do you check your e-mail regularly? Do you need more time for your research and creative work? Do you need more classes (read: more experience and money)? Is it impossible to relocate for a job?

Pro's Colleges are increasingly offering classes online. There's work to be had. Once you've built the course, you can often reuse or mold the materials for other venues. Save time and money not commuting. No photocopying, reserving materials or equipment. You can schedule your day. Unless you are video chatting with students, you can work wherever you want and be comfortable. http://www.insidehighered.com/advice/2011/02/24/essay_ on_whether_you_should_teach_online#ixzz2ucPfGVTv
Con's It is a lot of time sitting in front of the computer. Sometimes the Internet connection will be slow and frustrating. Things NEVER work right. Never. It can be difficult to manage the onslaught of e-mail. Students will continue conversations without you and it sometimes takes extra work to get them back on track. After all, you were sleeping. You might never meet your supervisors and colleagues. You must work extra hard to negotiate personal relationships. No snow days or days off. You must make an effort to participate in your field through conferences and connecting with colleagues. http://www.insidehighered.com/advice/2011/02/24/essay_on_whether _you_should_teach_online#ixzz2ucPxrjrY
Eight Roles of an online Teacher Tour Guide – A tour guide leads one or more people through a place or a series of places, usually revolving around some sort of common theme or subject. Similarly, the online teacher plays the role of guiding students through one or more online learning experiences. These experiences are most often designed and planned long before the course starts so that the teacher can devote more time to guiding the students and less time preparing lessons. Within this role, the teacher directs and redirects the attention of learners toward key concepts and ideas. A good tour guide doesn't want anyone to miss out on the highlights of the tour. Cheerleader – As with all learning environments, learners often need some encouragement. Learning is hard work and studying online can sometimes feel isolating, confusing, or discouraging without this important role. As a result, the effective online teacher makes intentional efforts to communicate specific encouraging messages to individual learners and the group as a whole. Even when providing constructive feedback, the teacher as cheerleader finds a way to promote positive messages alongside the critiques, doing his or her best to maintain an overall positive morale in the class. At times, learners may fall into negative comments about themselves, the class, or their classmates (even the instructor, on occasion). The cheerleader strives to find ways to listen, respect the learner's frustrations, but to also help them reframe the situation in ways that are more positive and productive. http://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/online-education/eight-roles-of-an-effective- online-teacher/#sthash.gc4C5zoL.dpuf
Eight Roles of an online Teacher Learning Coach – Many people focus on the role of teacher as role model and that is valuable. However, the role of coach is just as important, even more important if we want learners to develop high levels of competence and confidence. A role model throws a perfect spiral with a football while the learners watch. A coach gets the learners on the field, puts the ball in their hands, and then coaches them on how to throw a spiral for themselves. This is a powerful and essential role of the online teacher. Such a teacher must move beyond simply modeling a love for the subject and personal skill with the content. Instead, find ways to hand the subject over to the students to do something with it. Applied projects and papers work well for this, and it gives the teacher an opportunity to be a coach and mentor. Individual and Group Mirror – Imagine waking up in the morning, getting ready for work, and heading out the door without ever looking into a mirror to see that your hair is sticking straight up in the air. That is good information to know before you walk into the office. Learners need this same sort of feedback about their work. How are they doing? Are they getting closer to meeting the learning objectives or not? The effective online teacher finds ways to give this sort of feedback to individual learners and, when appropriate, groups of learners. http://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/online-education/eight-roles-of-an-effective- online-teacher/#sthash.gc4C5zoL.dpuf
Eight Roles of an online Teacher Social Butterfly – Without intentional efforts to build a positive social environment, online learning can feel lonely and impersonal. As a result, the online teacher must serve like a great party host, facilitating introductions, using discussion starters to facilitate conversations among students, and taking the time to get to know students and referencing that knowledge in interactions with them. Big Brother – Everything is documented in an online course. The teacher can tell when and how many times a student logs into the course, what pages were viewed or not, how many discussions posts the student contributed, and much more. This data can be abused, but it can also be used to make adjustments and informed decisions as an online teacher. If a student is not logging in, then contact the student. If students are failing to visit pages in the course with key instructions, point that out to the students or reorganize the content so that it's easier to find. http://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/online-education/eight-roles-of-an-effective- online-teacher/#sthash.gc4C5zoL.dpuf
Eight Roles of an online Teacher Valve Control – Online courses are rich with content and sometimes students can get lost in all that content. The teacher as valve control intentionally releases content in chunks that are appropriate for students. Sometimes this comes in the form of only releasing content one week at a time. Other times, the teacher releases it all at once, but directs students to only focus on certain parts at a time. Another key is to break content into smaller segments. Rather than a twenty-page document of instructions, consider breaking it into ten two-page documents. Co-learner – Great teachers are lifelong learners, and they can model that learning for their students in a variety of ways in the online classroom. The teacher can be an active (but not too active or it will silence students) participant in online discussions, sharing what they are learning about the subject, and even complete all or parts of some assignments, sharing their work with the students. This goes a long way in building a vibrant and dynamic online learning community where every person in the community commits to embodying the traits of a lifelong learner. http://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/online-education/eight-roles-of-an-effective- online-teacher/#sthash.gc4C5zoL.dpuf

How to Enter the online Teaching Space Part Two: Syllabus Michael Munger Director, PPE Program Duke University
Syllabus: Questions Why? Audience Prerequisites Syllabus Homeworks/Assignments Tests
Major Setup Work Step One: Learning Goals Step Two: Readings Step Three: Methods of Assessment
Syllabus Some Resources: http://www.cmu.edu/teaching/designteach/design/syllabus/ind ex.html http://www.cmu.edu/teaching/designteach/design/syllabus/ind ex.html http://www.crlt.umich.edu/tstrategies/tssd.php http://www.crlt.umich.edu/tstrategies/tssd.php http://cte.udel.edu/instructional-topics/designing- courses/designing-learning-centered-syllabus.html http://cte.udel.edu/instructional-topics/designing- courses/designing-learning-centered-syllabus.html
Design of the Course The cycle begins with components of design based on many considerations such as the following: Who are the students? What are the needs of the curriculum? What are the learning goals of the course? These considerations then inform the actual design of course materials, activities, and assignments.
Syllabus: Why? If I don't know anything about the course, I should be able to look at the syllabus and learn who should take it and why… Two examples of my syllabi 1. An intro Econ course ("Econ for Non-Majors") https://www.dropbox.com/s/aqwsff3d5bioq30/Syllabus%20PS%20145%202013%2 0Revised%205.docx https://www.dropbox.com/s/aqwsff3d5bioq30/Syllabus%20PS%20145%202013%2 0Revised%205.docx 2. An upper-division PPE course ("PPE Gateway") https://www.dropbox.com/s/ndg0nu8u9k8wnf1/PPEsylfall2013- revd.docx https://www.dropbox.com/s/ndg0nu8u9k8wnf1/PPEsylfall2013- revd.docx
Syllabus: Design (Source: http://teaching.berkeley.edu/sites/teaching.berkeley.edu/files/SyllabusComponents_0.pdf )http://teaching.berkeley.edu/sites/teaching.berkeley.edu/files/SyllabusComponents_0.pdf Basic Information name of university, semester, year course title, number, unit value course meeting times and location instructor, TA names how to contact instructor/TAs: – online office hours, times and how to access (URL) – email address(es), and expected turnaround – phone numbers: Office, Home, Cell, and ground rules – times other than office hours when instructor can be reached instructor web page URL course web page URL online chat days, hours and access address, if available class FB page
Syllabus: Design prerequisites – prior courses – knowledge/skills (needed to succeed in this course) – permission of instructor needed? overview of course – what is the course about: its purpose, rationale? – what are the general topics or focus? – how does it fit with other courses in the department or on campus? – who is the course aimed at? – why would students want to take this course and learn this material? student learning objectives – what will students be expected to know or do after this course? – what competencies/skills will students be expected to demonstrate at the end of the course? methods of instruction – lectures – discussion – group work
Syllabus: Design Materials primary or required books/readings for the course – author, title, edition – costs, where available – availability of electronic or alternative formats, for students with disabilities supplemental or optional books/readings websites and links Schedule tentative calendar of topics and readings – by week rather than by session – or leave some sessions empty for flexibility firm dates for exams and written assignments dates of special events, performances/news events (for example, SOTU, or a debate) last day to withdraw from the course
Syllabus: Design Requirements exams and quizzes – why? – how many – what kind (e.g., open/closed book; essay/multiple choice) – type of knowledge and abilities tested – place, date and time of final exam assignments/problem sets/projects/reports/research papers – provide general information on type, length, and when due (detailed information can be distributed during the term) – clarify the relationship between the learning objectives and assignments – identify criteria/rubric for assessing student work – indicate whether students submit their work online or in hard copy format – for research papers and projects introduce students to the steps in conducting research create shorter assignments that build to the research paper (e.g. annotated bibliography of primary sources, thesis statement, fact sheet, etc.) specify the skills and knowledge students need to complete the research assignments connect research assignments to course goals and student learning objectives
Syllabus: Design Policies grading procedures – describe how students will be graded: on a curve or absolute scale? – clarify weighting of course components – explain policies regarding incompletes, pass/not pass – describe grade appeals attendance decorum/comments missed exams/make up exams missed assignments late assignments/extensions reporting illness and family emergencies extra credit opportunities permissible and impermissible collaboration standards for academic honesty and penalties for infractions
Problem: More Work Now Setting up your syllabus carefully, and thinking through the problems of scheduling, will save you a world of trouble, and time, later Leave some gaps, so you can make up time if you get behind Do NOT change things arbitrarily. And never move assignments up so they are due sooner. Avoid making them later, but never sooner.
Materials: Intellectual Property If you are used to operating in a University/College setting, you may not have worried about copyright or fair use But if you are teaching a general online course or MOOC, you have to be very careful A good reason to operate using some kind of LM software. Best if you can link to something someone else has posted. Better still if you can link to something the copyright OWNER has posted. Journal articles/scans of substantial sections of books: be CAREFUL! Resources: On "Authors' Guild v. Google Books" https://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/2013/11/17/a-wide-angle- lens-on-fair-use/ https://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/2013/11/17/a-wide-angle- lens-on-fair-use/ "It's the CONTENT, Not the VERSION!" https://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/2014/02/05/its-the- content-not-the-version/ https://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/2014/02/05/its-the- content-not-the-version/
How to Enter the online Teaching Space Part Three: Techniques, Hardware, and Software Michael Munger Director, PPE Program Duke University
Broadly: Your Contribution MOOC: Retail Alternative: Wholesale! Or, something else. Try to make the flexibility of the medium your ally. Too many people try to replicate "the sage on the stage." And you can't see the white board very well, and it's boring. You can use quick cuts to other materials, to videos, to visuals, much more easily in an online course.
Hardware Get a decent camera! Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, 1080p Widescreen Video Calling and Recording ($80). It has an excellent built-in microphone, and can do both auto-focus and face-follow. You actually need a real internet connection, with a wire. The corner table at Starbucks doesn't count. It's tempting. Don't do it.
Software Your general needs What is licensed at the university Things to look for: A. Stable, doesn't crash B. Bandwidth, doesn't lag C. Handles desktop share, and especially moves between desktop applications
Software Some possibilities 1.AdobeConnect 2.ON24 3.WEbPresentNow 4.WebEx Looking at reviews, it appears AdobeConnect (which you are using right now!) is the best. For example: http://webinar.blogspot.com/2013/04/comparing-webex-vs- adobe-connect.html http://webinar.blogspot.com/2013/04/comparing-webex-vs- adobe-connect.html A personal note: I have used WebEx. Until…now!
Software Learning Management Systems (Blackboard, Sakai) These are VERY useful, for several reasons 1.Shield to public on content 2. Manage access for "fair use" purposes 3. Dropbox for turning in assignments 4.Quizzes/exams (they grade and record grades!) Reviews: http://www.educationdive.com/news/12-learning- management-system-providers-and-what-they-bring-to- classrooms/97613/
Other Software Facebook (example here https://www.facebook.com/DukeIntroPolEcon2013 ) https://www.facebook.com/DukeIntroPolEcon2013 Twitter Advantages: Everyone uses them already, thought they are losing their "hip" appeal (why did the hipster burn his mouth? Because he always insisted on taking spoonfuls before it was cool!). Also, the discussion can go on long after the class is over. I sometimes find out that students ask, and answer, questions among themselves. If they get it wrong, you can address it later. But they actually use Twitter to teach each other. And Facebook is a great way to distribute videos and links. I find that I get 95% or more of the class to check out the video, if I post it on FB. If I send it out in an email…not so much. Disadvantages: You lose control of the discussion. And soul-sucking trolls can hijack things. Very hard to police. But if you use a dedicated hashtag for the discussion on Twitter, it can work well. For example for a class today, you might use #XXXFeb28, where XXX identifies your class. Then you can look back at that Twitter feed. Some advice on trolls, and ethical behavior generally online for students: http://www.magnapubs.com/blog/teaching-and-learning/creating-an-ethical-online- environment/

Back from sunny Gran Canaria today to find that the weather here has been pretty good too – with no rain while we were away.
John got all the paddocks harrowed and there were no mishaps – all animals stayed where they were supposed to and stayed healthy, which is good.
Tuesday 11th April
Jeez, windy today. Good drying day so got caught up with washing and housework and some paperwork. It's the end of the financial year and the time of year when I mentally promise to do better next year – new spreadsheet; clean slate and all that. My record keeping isn't bad but could be better.

Well, it was the weekly skip trip today, mainly stoorie hay. Thank goodness that's coming to an end.
Mucked out the byre; good stuff coming out of it – a mix of chopped straw, soil and chicken poo, so I've made a separate pile for it.
In anticipation of tomorrow's school visit, moved Nugget, our "feisty" cockerel into an area we won't be entering.
Found a White Leghorn bloodied this morning; gave her a wash and put her back in the run. I'd guess it was a result of the reestablishment of the pecking order. Hopefully, she'll be OK.

Packed day today; visit to Ravensby to have a look at the grazing. It looks pretty good – there are two good shed, one a hay barn and then a block of looseboxes. Need to have a better look at the fencing though.
The owners have a lovely golden Labrador pup – he's one of Bryn's buddies now.
Made my weekly pilgrimage to the skip. Linda preempted me and turned out the potting shed. Much evidence of mice – it's built with sleepers so not even nearly mouseproof so everything edible has been removed and the cats given free access – Bertie is dining well.

Not much of a blog this week as we've been away for a few days with our daughter. All seemed to go fine while we were away.
Paul started preparations for the "classroom" today. We need a better name for it. I call it the Man Cave but that's no good either.
Dan moved the caravan hens this morning. The good news is that the Avian Flu "lock down" is being relaxed from 28th February so the hens should get back out then.

Cold, cold this morning. Was up at four, wakened by the barking of foxes – and suddenly realized I hadn't shut the pophole for the caravan hens. All well but there were three foxes – very noisy. Guess it must be the mating season.
Paperwork day today – got to use the new Scotmoves system for cattle.

Ooh, full sun today. Zaza came for her Monday morning play with Bryn.
Meg was much better this morning; she came out with me, had a big pee, supervised my morning tasks and ate all her breakfast. She even played in the hay. By 11am, she was shut in the dining room in her bed and sound asleep. We think she needs to rest more, which is why she's good in the morning and poorly at night. But she's such a sticky beak that she has to see what's going on.

The difference between how much it costs banks to borrow money and how much they charge when lending it on to businesses is at its highest level for more than four years.
Bank of England figures showed that the three-month London interbank offered rate rate fell from 0.8% in August to 0.62% in September while the interest on new lending rose from 2.04% to 2.18%. That pushed banks' lending margin up to 1.56% — the highest since August 2005 and well above the low of 0.29% in June 2008.
Stephen Alambritis, spokesman for the Federation of Small Businesses, said: "It is a creeping increase by the banks. They are asking for an arm and a leg from small businesses.
"These are businesses that have survived the recession and should be rewarded with lower charges not by being hit by higher charges. Banks are taking advantage of businesses."
Alambritis said a lack of competition in the market, where most of the lending is done by four major banks, HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group and Royal Bank of Scotland, meant that businesses were losing out.
The increase in the lending margin was revealed in this month's Bank of England Trends in Lending Report which also showed businesses paid back £4.6 billion more than they borrowed in September.
Philip White, chief executive of Syscap, an independent finance provider, said: "Obviously it is disappointing that lending margins for businesses continue to increase and that lending to businesses continues to fall.
"Whilst the banks may claim that the fall in loan volume is due to a lack of demand from businesses, you can't help but draw the conclusion that it is the high lending margins and fees charged by banks which stop businesses applying for loans."
A spokesman for the British Bankers' Association said that the interest charged by banks is based on two factors: the cost of funds to the bank and the perceived risks of lending to the business concerned.Reuse content

Really appreciate you looking out for me mate - especially after all the crap I've talked about your footballing knowledge! All the best to you as well my friend
The right way - gotta talk about it mate - the wrong way is stewing and pills and drinks and not having control.....
You keep it contained in the mind - the mind will do a number on you - out in the open, you are in charge, not held to ransom....
All the best mate - hope you find the answer that best suits you.....
Loving the MAP love in
Why do you have a long distance relationship if you don't mind me asking, did you used to live in the same place then one of you moved or has it always been long distance? I don't really know how they work but I can't imagine their easy.
I think you're right, the doctor is often the first port of call perhaps to get signed off in the first instance, counselling is frustrating in that it often takes so long to get in and with the dark clouds already there it's never quick enough in my experience.
Depending on where you are at I would always say doctors and counselling are good if they run along side each other, that said that's just my experience - I uncovered a myriad of issues when I went to a counseller and a doctor guided me on switching medication at the same time.
The thing that helped me most was lots of time and lots of love and it sounds like from your post you've got a soulmate to stand along side you.
Big LUV and respect to all reds YNWA
Not really liking the upcoming easter weekend, people are out and about, enjoying themselves, while I am sat here at home as usual, looking after my miserable old grandad.
I find it really hard to remain positive when I am getting moaned at and put down 24/7, sometimes I really wonder why I bother to stay here and take care of him..
Thankfully I have a holiday booked next month and I am looking forward to getting away from it, even if it is just a for a fortnight.
Thankfully my mum and my aunt come and take him out a couple of times a week, as much as they can, but the rest of the time hes a bit of a pain, hes a bit like alf garnett without the racism, always has to make his opinions known, no matter how offensive and ridiculous they sound, he can be quite upsetting to me without realising it.
I have social phobia and I have been pretty depressed for the past ten or so years since I split up with my ex and my gran died at the same time, I have spent that time sat in my house for the most part.
I only really started to get out socially again last year, I was toying with the idea of moving out but I could not bare the thought of him going into a home, I know how much he would hate it you see, it was my docs idea to go on holiday and take a break, I am really looking forward to a break now.
It's good you have something to look forward to, lots of people told me to try and get something planned even if really small just to have something on the horizon to look forward too.
It's sounds like you've had a rough time albeit I get wanting to be alone and perhaps being lonely at the same time, I wanted to both hide and be held at the same time.
Enjoy your well earned break my friend
A short post for Easter.
A time for gathering and family and friendship.
Not everyone is fortunate to have that which many take for granted.
Keep well fellow Reds
I always felt like It was my duty to look after him, he always did everything he could for me and I was always very close to my grandparents.
I might sound harsh, but he has already lived his life, been married had kids, the older I get, the more I feel entitled to live my life before its over, I dont want to die a lonely old man with nothing going for me.
As you say I have to look after myself as well, that is something I never really did since my gran died, my ex left and I started feeling sorry for myself !
Anyway cheers and happy Easter to you man, and everyone else !
Lets hope the sun comes out a bit !
