Using Partners in the Selling Process
Sales partners come in many shapes and sizes. There are Sales
Agents and Resellers, who have been joined by Education
Brokers, some of whom have developed into full-blown
education outsources. Lets share experiences and find out
whos done what and why and with what results.
This is a discussion session so please

Using Partners in the Delivery Process
There have been many models for this, too. Some
companies have sold kits, accredited partner instructors, and
remained indirect. Others have accredited partner
instructors, but retained the end customer. In the extreme,
this might simply be to solve regional availability. And then
theres the grey market

Are Your E-Learning Courses Pushed or Pulled (May 09)
The default position for many e-learning courses is
to merely push the information out to the learners. The end result

can quickly build the framework for more engaging and interactive
courses. Its just a matter of rethinking how you approach the
course design.

the other. If the graphic properly communicates the right
information, it is more likely to be accepted. If the graphic is
accepted, communication of the intended message is more likely to
occur. Each is necessary for the others success. ©2009

And, Finally.....
retired sergeant major inherited a talking parrot from a recently
departed relative who had run a busy dockside pub. For the first few
days in his new home the normally talkative parrot was distinctly
shy. The old major, despite his stern and disciplined ways, felt
sorry for the bird, and gently encouraged it with soft words and
pieces of fruit. After a week or so the parrot began to find its
voice - a little at first - and then more so. Responding to the kind
treatment, the parrot's vocabulary continued to recover, including
particularly the many colourful expressions it had been taught in
the dockside pub.
The old sergeant major began to be quite irritated by the parrot's
incessant rudeness, and after a few more days of worsening
profanities, decided action was required to bring the bird under
control. The sergeant major tried at first to incentivise the parrot
with the promise of reward for good behaviour, but to no avail. He
next tried to teach the bird a lesson by withdrawing its privileges,
again to no avail; the parrot remained stubbornly rude.
Finally the old major flipped into battleground management mode; he
grabbed the bird, clamped his hands around its beak, and thrust the
struggling, swearing parrot into the top drawer of the freezer,
slamming the door tightly shut. The swearing and struggling noises
continued inside the freezer for a few seconds and then abruptly
stopped. The sergeant major listened for a while and then, concerned
that the parrot's shock might have been terminal, carefully opened
the freezer door and opened the drawer to look. The parrot slowly
clambered out of the drawer and perched on its edge.
"I must apologise for my rude and disrespectful behaviour," said the
parrot, "I promise never to use bad language again. And by the way,
what did the turkey do?"

As Assistant Coach Geoff Smith said in the post-game show, "two out of three wins is a good road trip, three out of three is a great road trip."
The Blazers could have easily mailed it in the rest of the way in Calgary trailing 2-0 in the third. After all, they already had won the first two games of the swing...good enough right?
Instead, the Blazers saved their best for last scoring three goals for a come-from-behind 3-2 win at the ScotiaBank Saddledome.
Trailing 2-0, Brendan Ranford finally broke the barrier in front of the Hitmen goal provided by Slovak import 'tender Juraj Holly.
A few minutes later Ryan Hanes tied it up as he snuck a shot through the Hitmen goaltender 6:21 into the final frame.
Finally, at the tail-end of a Blazer powerplay, a Hitmen clearing attempt hit Calgary's Riley Reinbolt and stayed in the attacking zone. Jordan DePape picked it up and wired it upstairs for the go-ahead goal.
The Hitmen would pull the 'tender late for the extra man but couldn't find the equalizer.
Blazers win 3-2. It's the first time in seven seasons they have won five straight on the road. The last time they did that it was October of the 2003-04 season.
Brendan Ranford extended his point streak to 10 games with his 3rd period goal.
"We said in the room after two periods that if we want to be a team that makes a playoff run we have to win games like these," commented Assistant Coach Geoff Smith post-game.
"Good teams find ways to win games, and that's what we're doing right now...finding ways to win."
By killing off five Hitmen PP advantages, the Blazers killed off all 18 powerplays on the three-game swing. There PK started a league worst 71.4% and ended a more respectable 77.0%
The Blazers improve to 7-6-0-1 and will now play their next three games at home starting Wednesday when they host the Brandon Wheat Kings.

We've been busy! During the month of May the CSU Chico teams facilitating the campus move from Vista to Blackboard Learn have hit some major milestones in preparation for the software roll out that begins with 14 pilot faculty this August. Keep reading to find out how our teams are progressing.
Scott Kodai, Manager, Distributed Learning Technologies and Classroom Technology Services, reports that, "In May, the Distributed Learning Technologies team successfully created a command-line process to migrate a course from Vista to Learn. This is a key milestone in our ability to provide an automatic migration application for faculty to use to move their content to the new system. The hardware and databases for our production system have been provisioned, so we are on track for having our production system available for faculty to begin development by June 22nd."
Kodai also says, "We've also been looking very closely at the available Building Blocks for Bb Learn. Building Blocks are 'plug-ins' for Bb Learn that allow for additional features and integrations. The challenge now is to identify the Building Blocks that enable key integrations and features that we need to have in place for the pilot this fall, as well as which Building Blocks to put on the roadmap for implementation in the future. Among the Building Blocks targeted for the pilot are: Wimba (which enables Wimba Classroom and Voice Tools), Turnitin (anti-plagiarism), and TurningPoint (for clickers). Other Building Blocks under consideration are: Bboogle (for Google Docs integration), McGraw-Hill (e-textbooks), Kaltura (video services), and Xerxes (for open educational resources)."
Claudine Franquet, who heads the Blackboard Learn Training Support and Documentation Committee, reports that dates have been selected for Chico State's Blackboard Learn Pilot Faculty group's first training workshops. The initial two workshops will first provide an overview of Bb Learn and followed by hands-on experience with structuring an efficient course menu and implementing the process of migrating class materials from Vista to Bb Learn. Training is scheduled for faculty in the Bb Learn pilot program on August 2 and 3 from 9-11:30 a.m. and 2-4:30 p.m.
At the TLP Empowerment Lab and Faculty Training Lab, supervisor Peter DiFalco says, "The TLP research team concluded its investigation into how different content types and options are interpreted by Bb Learn, and the two students leading the project, Chris Cole and Taylor O'Brien, have graduated from the University – we wish them well with their next endeavors! Their research is currently being matched up with support information, as well as helping the Chico team understand what new support materials they will need to start creating to help Chico faculty with this transition. Some foundation work has been done to begin creating the migration guide web application which will utilize all our research and materials to give faculty a complete picture of what they need to do, and how to do it, when migrating a course into Bb Learn."
Ann Steckel's Bb Learn Communication Team continues compiling and distributing information and working with staff and faculty to raise awareness of the ongoing transition from the Blackboard Vista learning management system (LMS) to the updated and improved Blackboard Learn LMS. The most exciting project this group is tackling is the web interface design color scheme and layout. Roberta Roebuck, ATEC Web Services designer, has been incorporating the new logo colors and working with the committee to get a professional and inviting look and feel to the interface.

Dow +8.14%. S&P500 +12.00%. NASDAQ +18.67%. These numbers resemble a good year on Wall Street - and these were simply the advances from the first quarter. While stocks may or may not climb higher for the rest of the year, investors could certainly cheer the opening quarter of 2012 - the best quarter for U.S. equities in nearly 14 years.
The quarter in brief. In addition to remarkable stock gains, Q1 2012 was also notable for an ascent in oil futures and retail gas prices, resilience in consumer spending and the service and manufacturing sectors, and lingering ambiguity over the real estate market. The debt issues and apparent recession in Europe, the concerns over factory output worldwide, the uninspiring earnings season stateside – these concerns seemed to matter less this quarter as investors grew more optimistic.1
Domestic economic health. America was seeing job growth. The unemployment rate dipped 0.2% to 8.3% in January and stayed there in February – and 8.3% was the lowest jobless rate since February 2009. Non-farm payrolls swelled by 227,000 positions in February – the third month in a row with net job gains of more than 200,000 – and economists polled by Reuters think that the March report will show 203,000 new jobs in the economy. Four months in a row with 200,000 in net job gains? If it happens, that will be a factoid unmatched since 19992,3
Consumer inflation rose 0.2% in January and 0.4% in February. By February, annualized inflation was running at 2.9% with annualized core CPI at 2.2%. Producer prices were up 0.1% for January, 0.4% in February and 3.3% annually in February (the smallest 12-month increase since August 2010). Fuel costs played a big role in all this.4,5
As pump prices climbed higher, consumer spending increased. Commerce Department data showed personal spending advancing 0.8% in February, with the January gain revised up to 0.4%. By February, the personal savings rate was down to 3.7%, the lowest since August 2009. Consumer confidence also rose in the quarter, with the final March University of Michigan survey coming in at 76.2 (a 12-month peak) and the Conference Board's March consumer confidence index at 70.2 (down 1.4 points from February).6,7
The Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing and non-manufacturing indices both stayed above 50. ISM's manufacturing gauge came in at 52.4 in February and 53.4 in March; its service sector index was at 56.8 in January and 57.3 in February. Federal government figures showed that durable goods orders were up 1.3% in February after falling 1.1% in January. Speaking of hard goods, Chrysler and General Motors reported U.S. sales respectively up 34% and 12% in March, while Ford recorded its best March sales since 2007.8,9,10
For once, Capitol Hill was a relatively quiet place. The big economic news item was the introduction of President Obama's 2013 federal budget proposal, which formally presented some of the ideas he (and his advisors) had talked about for months – a "Buffett Rule" that would set income taxes at 30% for Americans making more than $1 million annually, increasing the top two tax brackets to 36% and 39.6%, limiting itemized deductions for those falling into those tax brackets, taxing dividends as ordinary income, hiking capital gains taxes to 20% for all taxpayers except those in the 10% and 15% tax brackets, and resetting the estate tax to 45% while keeping the personal exemption at the current $3.5 million.11
Global economic health. Eurozone finance ministers arranged a third (and presumably final) rescue package of €237 billion for Greece in February – €107 billion in haircuts to Greece's bond investors plus €130 billion in loans to its government. Moreover, two cash infusions by the European Central Bank to the EU's commercial banks – one in December, another in March – aided the global stock rally seen in the first quarter. So on and off the continent, there were sighs of relief. Yet economists were in agreement as the quarter ended: the Eurozone seemed to be tipping into a recession or was already within one. The EU jobless rate was 10.8% in March (Germany, the EU's prime economy, was faring better with only 5.7% unemployment). The EU's Markit PMI was below 50 for the eighth straight month in March.12,13,14
Were Asian economies slowing down? In March, the Chinese government lowered its GDP target for the first time since 2005, projecting 7.5% growth this year as opposed to 2011's 8.0% target. China's actual GDP was 8.9% in 4Q 2011 (the smallest in ten quarters), and its inflation rate had reduced to 4.5% from the 37-month high of 6.5% set last July. As for manufacturing, key PMIs were above 50 as the quarter ended: 53.1 in China, 54.7 in India and 52.0 in South Korea.15,16
World markets. What was the world's best-performing major index in Q1 2012? Would you believe the Nikkei 225? The Japanese benchmark rose 19.3% for the quarter, according to the Wall Street Journal. Other benchmarks rising in double digits for Q1 2012: Bovespa, 13.7%; RTSI, 18.5%; DAX, 17.8%; KSE 100, 21.3%; PSE Composite, 16.8%; Sensex, 12.6%; Hang Seng, 11.5%; Dow Jones Global Indexes, 11.5%. Other gains from the quarter: Australian All Ordinaries, 7.5%; TSX Composite, 3.7%; Shanghai Composite, 2.9%; CAC 40, 8.4%; FTSE 100, 3.5%. The MSCI World Index rose 10.9% on the quarter; its sibling, the MSCI Emerging Markets index, climbed 13.7%.17,18
Commodities markets. On the whole, Q1 2012 was quite good for the broad commodities sector. Gold went +6.7%, silver +16.4%, platinum +17.0%, and copper +11.3%. Palladium actually pulled back a bit, losing 0.3% for the quarter. Gold ended the quarter at $1,671.90 on the COMEX. NYMEX crude advanced 4.2% last quarter, which paled compared to the Q1 gains for heating oil (8.9%), RBOB gasoline (24.5%) and retail gasoline (19.8%). Natural gas futures dropped 28.9% with the warmer winter. Oil ended the quarter at $103.02 a barrel, unleaded gasoline at $3.93 a gallon. As for headline crops, wheat went +1.2%, cotton +2.4%, corn -0.4% and coffee -19.4% in the first three months of 2012. The U.S. Dollar Index (though it strengthened in March) lost 1.7% for the quarter.19,20
Real estate. Was the market improving? Or at least ready for a turnaround? Optimists could take heart in some compelling statistics. By February, existing home sales were up 8.8% year-over-year and 13% improved from July, according to the National Association of Realtors. NAR also found that the sales pace in January was the strongest since May 2010, and home prices rose for the first time in four months in February. The Commerce Department noted that February's new home sales were up 11.4% from 12 months ago; February also brought the greatest number of requests for building permits since October 2008. By February, NAR had pending home sales 9.2% improved from a year prior. However, the January S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index (which came out last month) showed that home prices had fallen 3.8% year-over-year, with prices essentially resetting to early 2003 levels.21,22,23,24
Across the quarter, there was really very little change in mortgage interest rates. Comparing Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Surveys of December 29 and March 29, we see mortgage interest rates moving like so: 30-year FRMs, 3.95% to 3.99%; 15-year FRMs, 3.24% to 3.23%; 5-year ARMs, 2.88% to 2.90%. Interest rates on 1-year ARMs were averaging 2.78% in both snapshots.25,26
Looking back … looking forward. Climbing above 3,000 for the first time since the dot-com boom, the NASDAQ had its best quarter since 1991. The Dow ended the first quarter by advancing for a sixth straight month. The Russell 2000 gained 12.06% for the quarter and the CBOE VIX (the "fear index") fell 33.76%.

So how much of these gains can stocks hold? It may be that the momentum generated by the market in the first quarter persists – appetite for riskier assets has increased worldwide along with investor optimism, and it may not be easily or readily doused. Then again, the data stream from the U.S. is really encouraging for foreign investors at a time when indicators from their regions are underwhelming. Spain and Portugal are still question marks in the Eurozone, even after the two sizable cash injections into the European banking system by the ECB and March's hike in the region's bailout fund reserve to €700 billion. So fingers are crossed that the U.S. bull market can weather a potential Iberian debt debacle come spring and summer.1

Most of us are either addicted to online shopping or like the concept for sheer convenience. Gone are times when you would hog to the mall to find the weekend sale. Online shopping sites offer discounts all the time, and it is easy to save more if you are little tricky. In this post, we will talk of the simple hacks to make online shopping a fun experience.
Know when to shop
If you are buying StyleWe mini dresses or anything else, most sites have specific offers going on from time to time. In case you have loved shopping on a website, make sure that you register with them. Typically, fashion sites have rebates during holidays and festive times, but there are also monthly offers and discounts, which can be amazing if you like to buy things at the end of the month. You can also check hourly deals, for which some sites will send you alerts on email and phone.
Look for special caps
Unless you have been buying things on the wrong site, most of the fashion sites will have offers on certain amount of purchase. These discounts are usually limited to a certain time or period, but if you love shopping more for less, these offers are great. Check for shopping sites that don't burden you with too many extra costs, like shipping and handling charges. Of course, most portals do have a minimum amount of purchase, before one can get free shipping, but make sure that that cap isn't high.
Be nifty
Discounts and offers are all good for sure, but you need to be smart too! Make sure that you check the concerned website has a good collection. No one wants to buy from a site that just sells one kind of things, especially when it comes to fashion. Check their range of products and whether they stock the things that you like in the closet. This just saves a lot of time and efforts that one spends in creating the perfect look, which is all about getting clothes, accessories and everything else together.
Check exchange policies
If you have found the right platform and want to shop now for something, don't hit the 'buy' button, unless you have seen the exchange policies. Except for lingerie, everything else should be easy to return and exchange. The policies and terms differ with reach service, but you should get a good window before you can decide on whether you want to retain your purchase in the first place. Also, if there are any charges for the same, check whether the website has mentioned that in detail.
Over the years, many websites have started the new trend of offering hourly discounts. Such offers are valid only for a few hours on certain goods, and if you are someone who likes to buy products after checking the rebate, these offers are made just for you. Next time you need a new pair of shoes or rompers, you know how to save more!

Spouse Denial
Several years ago I met two women dealing with relationships in which one spouse had ADHD (or was suspected of having ADHD) and the other spouse did not. In both of these cases, it was the woman that was the non-ADD spouse. Together, they talked, supported one another and came up with a plan to try to resolve the issues in their relationships. These two women gave me the plan they had developed, allowing me to share it with others.
It is important to note that this plan was not developed by a psychologists or psychiatrists. It is not based on anything other than two women's experiences and insight into their own marriages. But it is also important to note that several years later, these women were still married and felt their marriages had survived a turning point. They both believed their marriages were stronger.
Jane had been married for 10 years. She had a son, aged 8. He had been diagnosed with ADHD and Learning Disabilities. Jane spent a great deal of time learning about ADHD in the hopes of helping her son. She read about behavior modification and did her best to incorporate behavioral strategies at home. While reading about ADHD, she began to realize that her husband showed many of the characteristics and symptoms of Adult ADD. As she talked with his parents about his childhood, it became more apparent to Jane that her husband probably had ADD. He was adamant that he did not. He did not want to hear about it and would not discuss it. He felt that he had managed this far. He was self-employed and was fairly successful.
Jane, on the other hand, was sure that he did have ADD. She had been the bookkeeper for his small construction business since it's inception, she took care of the house, worked a part-time job and managed her two children's activities. She felt she took the brunt of the household work on herself and with her bookkeeping duties managed to keep her husband organized. Jane was overwhelmed with the amount of work she tried to accomplish each day but wasn't sure she would be able to give any of it up. She was afraid that if she let go, her husband would go back to missing or being late for appointments with customers and lose important papers.
But Jane loved her husband; they shared many of the same interests, enjoying antique shopping, going on picnics, watching movies and many other activities. They laughed together and enjoyed each other's company. Jane wanted life to be simpler, to be the way it used to be. She wasn't sure if she could keep up with life the way it was now. She was sure that if her husband went to the doctor for ADD and began to manage it, that he would be able to take more of the responsibilities around the house, not need her to manage his schedule and would be more responsive to her children's needs.
Betty had been married for 30 years. Her children were grown and her two sons had discovered they had ADD as adults. The diagnosis of ADD wasn't really around as they were growing up. Betty had been a stay at home mother and had worked hard to keep her home running, her children in school and her husband happy. But now, she felt, was time for her to pursue her own interests.
Communication between her and her husband was not very good and he still expected her to keep his life organized, even if he didn't say it. He was constantly losing things, and she was always finding them. He was not good at paying bills, they tried that once and had the electric shut off, even though the money to pay the bill was in the bank. He started household projects and left them unfinished. He changed careers several times in his life, always ending up getting bored and starting over. Betty felt like her time had been spent looking after him, helping him find his way in life, and now, she wanted something for herself.
But Betty wanted this together, with her husband. She didn't want to start out on her own. They had a history together and often laughed together. They enjoyed each other's company, enjoyed their life together. But Betty knew something needed to change.
After her two sons were diagnosed with Adult ADD, Betty talked with them and the more she found out about ADD, the more she felt her husband also had it. He agreed, although did not feel it was important enough to go to the doctor or find ways to manage. He thought their life was fine and he didn't really want to make any changes.
Jane and Betty
Together, these two women worked to find solutions to their problems. Step by step, they found ways to cope with everyday issues and slowly they began to incorporate strategies for managing Adult ADD and finding ways to make small changes in their relationships. Jane and Betty had an advantage, as they supported one another through this process. They exchanged notes and progress, they gave each other encouragement when it wasn't working and they celebrated together when they had successes.
Jane and Betty are friends still, their marriages intact and although there are still rocky times, just as in all marriages, there is common ground and cooperation. Some marriages may need the help of a counselor and some may need more intense help. The plan that Jane and Betty came up with is their blueprint. Your marriage may be different. But hopefully, you can take some of what they have learned and improve your relationship.

It can be difficult to get motivated sometimes, even to do something that you know is important to your health and well-being like starting to get fit and healthy. You know you should. You really have to do it. But it's just so much easier to put it off. Maybe tomorrow. Or next week, definitely next week. But next week comes and goes, and then another week, and another, and you still haven't started.
Well, here are a few things you can do to get that motivation revved up.
First, make realistic goals and start small. If you overreach, you're bound to fail and get discouraged. Time and again I've seen people get all excited about getting fit and healthy and go from never working out to doing forty minutes a day... until a few weeks later when they get burned out and give it up completely. Start small. Take a five or ten minute walk, or do five minutes on your ski machine every day for a week. Then go for eight. Then twelve. Build on small successes.
Find some inspiration. There are lots of people achieving what you want to achieve. Seek them out. On the web, in articles and forums and on blogs, or at the health club or gym. Put yourself in their place. Visualization is a powerful tool to help you succeed no matter what the endeavor. Make a mental image of your success and get excited about it. But don't be impatient. Instead, create anticipation with a positive attitude. You will get there. Every day is another mile on the journey. Don't just focus on the destination, enjoy the journey. Focus on the benefits. Stop negative thinking and keep a positive attitude. Don't make obstacles for yourself with, as Zig Ziglar famously put it, "Stinking thinking." Get excited by visualizing your success.
Find others who have the same goal and get some support. Join an online forum. Seek out people in your community. If you want to start bicycling, look up a bicycling club. It's always easier to keep going if you have friends to go along with you.

Dieting brings an excessive amount of concentrate on diet overhaul in place of proper diet. Diet doesn't need to be a dirty word. It is possible to stick to the Bean Diet and find a large part of your calories from fat and still quickly drop some weight. The Atkins Induction Diet is only the very first stage of the diet regime.
It's a diet carefully devised by youself along with all the things which you like to eat. The diet has many stages to secure you to this point. Most diets today end up being very stressful for many women and men in their search to eliminate weight. Regardless of the criticisms and accusations, a low-carb diet will help you find your private carbohydrate tolerance.
There is apparently a significant bit of misunderstanding in regards to saturated and polyunsaturated fats. Now, even the lactose intolerant may enjoy dairy with a couple easy tips. Low-carb diets are demonstrated to maintain bigger quantities of lean body mass than standard weight-loss diet programs, or so the number on the scale can usually be misleading.
One of the biggest myths about the Atkins Diet is that it is possible to eat all the steak, chicken, bacon and eggs you desire. The ingestion of black tea was proven to lower the absorption of iron. Actually, Dr. Eades diet permits you to eat fruit, toast or very low carb tortillas in addition to the non-starchy vegetables from your very first moment. The Mediterranean diet typically comprises a moderate quantity of wine.
Neither Atkins nor Eades recommends an extremely low carb, higher protein diet unless you are exceedingly carbohydrate intolerant. All the diets seemed to work in reducing Alzheimers risk.
It also needs to be pointed out that there are a few other variations of this diet plan. Protein is critical to the performance of the body, but it is not hard to overindulge. For the reason, protein foods shouldn't be limited during the initial 6 weeks of a low-carb diet. A bit of research on daily consumption of carbohydrate protein and fat is a significant component when devising your own diet.
Exercise may not be skipped if you wish to lose 30 lbs in 1 month. Living with a suitable diet instead of dieting is understandably tough occasionally. It's also important to keep in mind that a normal exercise regimen have to be followed together with a wholesome diet.
Bear in mind, the goal here is to shed weight. The largest benefit of the Gesta Diet is the fact that it lasts only 10 days.
You have to secure the cravings under control as a way to reach your perfect weight and shape and to balance out your wellness. Extra diets inside your body cause the weight to get started growing. Another reason that you can't drop weight is because you lack the muscle your entire body should burn a sufficient number of calories each day. Understanding your body is the initial step into completing and losing weight on this system.
It's only a sensible eating program and a sensible exercise routine. You want to repair the time for your meals and make sure that you don't ever miss them. When it has to do with diets, it's been proven that rewarding all efforts is unquestionably the better choice. Spending every day of your life relying on pills and medications isn't any way to lives, particularly when you are still not seeing the results which you want.

"Booknotes" host Brian Lamb interviewed 801 authors during the over fifteen–year run of CSPAN's "Booknotes" television program. Lamb made a point of reading each book in its entirety before each interview so that he could discuss it in detail with the author. He often spent up to twenty hours a week reading a book and preparing for the subsequent interview. While this thoroughness was normal operating procedure for Brian Lamb, this was not always the case with interviewers of authors on other programs. Lamb took pride in being able to discuss a book's most minute details with its author, as he believed that his audience would be interested themselves in such details.
Lamb also had a habit of annotating a book while he read it. He made notes in the margins and endpapers. He would underline single words or whole passages in the main text. These "book notes" were used by Lamb to remind him of things he wanted to ask the author. Notes might pertain to significant events in the book or the education or employment of a book's author or subject. Ideas for questions, quotations, and philosophical, political, historical and scientific concepts were noted along with the names of important people or significant dates.
George Mason University Libraries acquired the entire collection of 801 nonfiction books used on the "Booknotes" television series in September of 2011. The books are now housed in the Libraries' Special Collections & Archives department.\r\n

TH has dreamed of exploring the Amazon since childhood. As I was interested in visiting Bolivia, we decided to check out the Amazon Basin via the Parque Nacional Madidi accessed through Rurrenabaque, a 40 minute flight from La Paz.
There are a number of tour agencies offering jungle trips out of Rurre. After much research, TH decided on Berraco del Madidi, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our trip. After a night at Hotel Safari (decent rooms, quiet location, great breakfast, friendly service- around $45), we began our 6 hour boat ride up the Beni and Tuichi Rivers.
Berraco del Madidi is a company owned by a trio of brothers who grew up in an indigenous community located deep in the national park. The brothers were involved in the creation of the reserve, and their concern for the ecosystem of the jungle was immediately apparent to us. Their ecocamp is by far the most secluded in the area, and they accept a maximum of eight guests at their camp. We were lucky enough to share our five day trip with just two other people, Izzy from England and Ricardo from Brazil (the perfect travel companions).
Our accommodations were tents on raised platforms, ensuring a wonderful bug-free night's sleep on matresses, surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. There was a spotless flush toilet/shower room.
We were completely entertained for five full days of adventure. Leopold was our guide, leading us to numerous animal sightings: five species of monkeys, capybaras, deer, caiman, a jaguar (!), wild pigs, snakes, spiders, countless birds, frogs, fish, and insects galore. The wildlife highlights included Leo successfully calling a jaguar to within 30 feet, a giant pack of wild pigs that we had to fend off with machetes and fishing rods, and a spider with a body the size of a golfball, and legs like pencils. Leo's knowledge of the rainforest was undeniable. We learned how to find water within vines:
and how to collect food from the jungle floor, including these larvae, which I actually enjoyed quite a bit. (They tasted just like Thai young coconut, once you got past the initial pop and squirt.)
During our day hikes Leo explained the medicinal properties of countless plants and trees, reinforcing the travesty of losing virgin rainforest on our planet.
TH's obsession with fishing encouraged Leo to center our trip around hikes to beautiful rivers. (One tip: cover all parts of your body while on the river as the sandflies are vicious!)
We also went on a night hike and a pre-dawn hike, which allowed us to view the nocturnal animals and insects of the jungle. I found the feeling of a pitch black jungle unlike any other outdoor experience.
The meals were fantastic, and included a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. The company readily accommodates vegetarians and vegans.
The rainforest we encountered was pristine and isolated. We saw no other people, nor other signs of human life on our walks.
Before bed each night I read "The River of Doubt", by Candace Miller, which chronicles Theodore Roosevelt's exploration of a previously unknown Amazonian tributary. It was the perfect book to read while in the rainforest, as it describes the extreme harshness of the jungle.
Question: Have you had a perfect book/travel experience?

If you are arrested, you will enter the tangled world of the criminal court system. You should understand a little about how it works, so that you can understand how Tallahassee criminal lawyer Joe Bodiford can help you.
In Florida, misdemeanor cases are assigned to the COUNTY court. A criminal case in county court can be punished by no more than a year in jail. Most cases there end up with a probation sentence.
Felony cases are handled in the CIRCUIT court. Felonies are crimes that are punishable by more than a year in prison. First degree felonies carry up to 30 years, second degree felonies carry up to 15 years, and third degree felonies carry up to 5 years.
Once you are arrested, you are NOT yet formally charged. It is up to the State Attorney to decide whether to proceed with the case in the court system. A prosecutor will review the arrest information, speak with witnesses, and decide if to charge you, and what charges will be filed.
Once you are charged, you will receive an ARRAIGNMENT date. This is simply a hearing at which the judge advises you of your charges, and asks you how you wish to plea. Most cases begin with a plea of NOT GUILTY in order to have time to investigate and litigate the case.
Next comes the discovery process. This is the exchange of information between the State and defense. Florida is an open discovery state, and both sides have to reveal evidence they intend to use at trial. This process includes the taking of depositions, production of documents and other items (recordings, videos), and a general investigation of the case. This is a critical part of every criminal case.
Throughout the discovery process - which could take many months - there will be monthly court dates. This is to ensure that the case is moving along. At some point, the case will be ready to resolve.
Criminal cases resolve in one of three ways. First, charges can be dropped. This can be because the state does not have enough evidence, or because the defendant enters a diversion program, or because a motion has been granted and evidence excluded from use at trial. Second, the defendant may enter a plea and accept his or her punishment. Third, the case may go to trial.
While the experience in Federal court is extremely similar, the discovery process is extremely limited. You need an attorney who can uncover facts that the government is not required to reveal until trial.
Tallahassee criminal attorney Joe Bodiford has handled thousands of criminal cases, from both sides of the courtroom. In three and a half years as a prosecutor, and in eleven years as a defense attorney, he has seen it all. In addition to having the experience of having worked through the discovery and motion process of countless cases, he has been to actual jury trials in well over 100 cases.

Dear Support Team,
This is problem I am facing for a relatively long time, on all my websites. At the beginning, I thought it was a temporary issue, however, it is continuing to bother me :smiley:
Namely, when I want to edit my site via Upfront the following two things happen:
1) If I click "Upfront" button in the upper left on the Wordpress dashboard next my front page opens, but not in an "edit mode", so I cannot use Upfront.
2) If I open a page/post and than try to edit in Upfront, than the Upfront button is gray and inactive, i.e. in-clickable :slight_smile:
I have tried with logging out, clearing cache of my site, clearing browser cache and the results are more in favor of not sorting the problem out, i.e. the Upfront keeps being inactive.
Could you please help,

Road.cc breaks 600,000 uniques milestone
Road.cc has passed the 600,000 monthly unique users tally, having breached half a million just six months ago.
The website's highest monthly uniques for last year stood at just over 500,000 for August and September. April 2013 is set to be road.cc's biggest month ever in terms of unique users, much thanks to 24-hour editorial coverage of road cycling news.
Year on year the site has grown by 75 per cent, with page views more than doubled from April 2012.
The website's recent successes don't stop there, with the site scooping the inaugural Best Use of Social Media Award at the Bike Biz awards in 2012 and place at number 34 in the 2012 Headstream Social Brands 100 list.
Tony Farrelly, co-founder and Editor of road.cc, commented, "Our vision for road.cc was always that it would be the first online port of call for UK-based road cyclists, and we've put together a team of the very best cycling journalists to help us realise that vision. The continued growth of road.cc is evidence that we're connecting with more and more riders both in the UK and further afield, and that success will drive us to make the site even better"
