Sebastian Heilmann brings what is, for English-speaking readers, a somewhat rare European—or perhaps more precisely, German—perspective to the question of "China's rise", a term now almost de rigueur.
There are almost as many explanations for China's economic development as there books on the subject. These start, as they must, from the realization that heretofore conventional economic development models and theories—which have tended to emphasize economic and political liberalism, strong institutions, the rule of law, etc.—did not predict China's success in the form it has taken.
Heilmann has several different things going on his book, the chapters of which originated as previously-published papers. One, and his opening, is to reiterate that traditional development models can't accommodate China's path to relative prosperity. Fair enough, but that point hardly seems to need reiterating anymore.
Heilmann discusses in depth, as do such others as Yuen Yuen Ang, the role of localized experimentation as a fundamental factor in China's development. Whereas Ang discusses "co-evolutionary" interaction between markets and institutions, Heilmann concentrates on the process of experimentation to policy, the mechanisms such as feedback loops within it, and—because it has not been static—the way it has developed and changed over time. He notes in particular the "very different" leadership styles between Deng Xiaoping and Xi Jinping.
Right in the introduction, Heilmann coins the term "guerilla-style policy-making". The phrase has considerable descriptive utility: it
can be characterized as a "push-and-seize" style, that contrasts with the stability-oriented "anticipate-and-regulate" norm of modern constitutional governments and rule-of-law polities …
But Heilmann means it literally:
The roots are firmly planted … in the fertile soil of China's Maoist past.
While striking, the argument—that, for example, the Great Leap Forward and the opening of China's stock exchange derive from some basic underlying approach to policy—requires more that the circumstantial evidence that Heilmann here affords it. If anything seems to have characterized the past 30 years or so of Chinese policy success, it has been the almost complete rejection of the decades that had preceded it.
One might draw the conclusion from Heilmann's take-down of conventional models and theories that perhaps the problem is modeling itself. Heilmann himself avoids the term, and presents his analysis as a series of modi operandi.
Heilmann is at pains to note that China is different not just from the West, but also from "the former Soviet and Eastern European Communist party-states" and Japan. But however unique China's path might be, one perhaps might conversely also want to avoid drawing the conclusion that China is largely if not entirely sui generis. Local policy experimentation, for example, is not itself incompatible with the Western rules-based systems China has ostensibly eschewed: there is considerable policy variation between and experimentation in US states and municipalities, for example. The difference, therefore, must be in the way experiments are initiated, culled and finally adapted for wider implementation. But experimentation combined with circumstance-based top-down decision-making is hardly unique to China either: it's what prevails in corporations. Kerry Brown, for one, has explicitly drawn this analogy.
Nor do traditional models actually rule out the possibility of centralized control leading to development success. The argument is instead that self-organizing capitalist systems are more robust. But these things can play out over long periods of time. The now much-maligned Soviet Union delivered high rates of industrialization for several decades before it didn't.
So it may still be early days for what Heilmann calls the Chinese "approach". The book provides a robust discussion of the risks and as well as the benefits, with the penultimate section succinctly entitled "The systematic risks of a top-down policy process".
One can't leave the book without commenting on the title, which is a riff on Nassim Taleb's "Black Swan". The point of the "black swan" concept, however, is that black swans actually exist. To call a Communist black swan a red swan is not just "a challenge to the social sciences", as Heilmann would have it, it is also a mixed metaphor.

The feeling of wet hair falling over my neck, the entire front of me drenched as I stand here in the dark, only a slight gleam from the silvery glow of the moon shining through the window pane. Unaware of why I was standing here, soaked to the skin and where was I as the orientation of my current placement was not even so much as a memory.
Unable to see much of my surroundings, giving it a good try to remember what had happened and come up empty. Slowly turning and walking towards the window, carrying myself on weighted legs so it seemed. Sliding the curtain back a break in the darkness and a gasp escaped my lips.
Everything was covered in a dark substance. On the floor the outline of a mass and in my left hand I still carried something. Shivers began to creep down my spine as my knees began to waver. In the moonlight my eyes began to focus and the realization that this was a bedroom and I was standing here naked covered in a dark liquid and in one hand something soft and wet. The search ensued to locate a lamp with dire urgency and figure out where I was, exactly.
Stumbling across the room, bare feet slipping on the hard, wet floor. A surge of pain tore through me as I bit my lip attempting to keep upright. Whatever had exploded and showered this room was sticky and severely slick. Dropping what was clenched in my hand, I ran my fingers along the wall, hoping for a switch.
What was the last thing that I remember? My head was filled with darkness and nothing came immediately to mind. What was I doing, who was I with? Why couldn't I remember. The tips of my fingers ceaselessly searching. A flash in front of my eyes, a dinner party, I had gone to a dinner party. In the Avery mansion with, with, I went with no one. The car came for me and carried me out to the mansion.
Where were my shoes, my purse, my dress? Just what had happened tonight anyway. Had I been ruffied? Slowly slumping to the floor as a shock came over me that in all these years that I must have been drugged. So cold, beginning to shiver either from being so scared of not knowing or the fact that I felt like ice, pure and slick and frozen. Seated on the floor, eyes gazing about clouds must have covered the moonlight as the illumination in the room had dimmed and was hardly noticeable at all. There it was, the bedside lamp.
Everything was moving so slow my vision clouded and my entire being felt as if I was moving a solid block of ice. How many minutes had passed as I sat slumped against the wall? The searing pain that stabbed up from my belly as I stood came out of my throat as a curdled scream, surely someone heard me. It was mere feet away, but every inch felt like a mile and with a sense of urgency gnawing inside of me there was no choice but to move.
I reached the bed, sat down hard and realized that I indeed was freezing. Whatever was in my drink was working a hard fast number on my inside and out. Had I been poisoned? Now I knew these people, most of them. The pain inside my stomach tore through my core violently, forcing me back on the bed as I screamed a shrieking howl formed seeming to go on for hours. Laying there looking at the ceiling I had to move something was pushing the matter, it felt like a frantic panic to hurry.
Sitting up every bone cracked and muscles seemed to creak. As the tops of my fingers gripped the lamp switch and the light blaired belligerently in my eyes, blinding me. Everything went white and my face was burning. Shielding my eyes with my hands I began to survey the room. There was a large mirror on the other end of the room near the window. As color swam back into my vision all there was to see was brown, no it was red, everything was red.
The large canopy bed was covered in red and the far end was soaked in it. Leaning forward, crawling to the other side and peering over the edge the sight that awaited me filled me with emptiness. Nothing there was nothing there, no cringing, no need to vomit nothing. Staring at the lifeless lump that lay curled in a pile, wait there were two. Now that I was able to focus, I saw the woman slumped on the chaise in the reading nook, there was no blood near her.
An on looker would have seen that at the exact moment the scene struck my eyes, my tongue graced my lips with a hungry need. The noise that came from deep inside my core was one of hunger and pride. The man splayed out on the floor lie in a pool of blood, the skin from his throat had been shredded away, a huge gaping hole was ripped in the middle of his chest. I remembered now, he had jumped from the bed in a hurry as I stood over them. He tried to save them. My teeth pierced his throat with a hungry lust ripping his flesh as I consumed his blood. Punching my fist through his chest I had grabbed his heart, feed on that until its last weak little pulse.
Stepping down from the bedside, gliding towards the woman and the mirror on the wall. The wetness that had covered me was garnet red, now dried covering every inch down the front of me. There was no feeling of panic, no feeling of dread, I should have been shocked or sick as the sight that was before me and there was nothingness, nothing but coldness.
The woman looked as though she was sleeping. Only the small marks on her lips and throat would have led anyone to think differently. Her skin was pale and she was not breathing. The memory came back to me just then, she had gotten out of the bed, naked and warm. She had been panicked yet she was easy to lure, deviant creature filled with lust. It was easy to kiss her lips, she was almost begging as I punctured her lower lip in her first kiss and the taste of her mineral rich blood. She enjoyed it, even licked at her own blood as it ran into my mouth. Her last breath was in pleasure or so under veil of trance so it seemed. There was no need to hear her, feel her, as there was an innate knowledge and a scent of emptiness that confirmed it. The mirror stood directly opposite me as I stood there, not ready to look. I had to look a fright I was certain of it.
I glanced back to the bedroom area, drawn by a smell, metallic and sweet, feeling my lips twitch and nostrils flare the sound of laughter struck me, until I realized that it had been coming from me. Turning my eyes to the mirror now and in the reflection, the truth was all there was to see. The woman in the chaise in her endless sleep, the book cases behind her and not one sign of me. Lifting my hand to see nothing reflecting back at me.
His voice preceded him in a wave, soothing and strong. No recollection of him entering the room. He stood there, a strong smirk on his face one finger across his lips. His large eyes reeled me in as his other hand reached out for me and the curtains billowed in the non-existent breeze as he beckoned to me. The hands of my heart gripped tight to my soul he says "Quickly it's time now to go, Oh I've missed you so" with the strength in his alluring smile, the emerging daylight just catching the sharpness within his grin.

Do you remember where you were?
I was on my way to my corporate support job in midtown. I had just gotten back from CA, and didn't have any auditions that day, so I didn't have to run around Manhattan as I usually do. I was walking across town, and I remember chatting with a friend on the phone. Suddenly, fire trucks were flying by, and when I looked down Broadway, I could see smoke coming from one of the towers. We didn't know what had happened at that point. It seemed like a terrible accident, and I remember thinking, as the FDNY zoomed downtown, "Our boys will be able to take care of it." I've known folks in the fire department, and know how incredibly well trained they are, and I have immense respect for them. None of us knew they'd be driving headlong into this:
The city was covered in ash, and everyone was walking around like a zombie. Cell phones didn't work. That was the one time a landline came in handy, so we could talk to family and friends when we got to a landline.
It was such a horrible day, and I think of all those who lost their lives, all of those people so terribly affected by the tragedy. The attacks caused the deaths of nearly 3,000 people and injured 6000 others. Nearly 80,000 people have registered health issues - cancer, respiratory ailments, and more - 16 years later.
We have to look out for each other. Take care of each other. And be aware.

Caps Aim to Cool Columbus
Red hot Jackets come to District with 16-game winning streak on Thursday, looking to match league's all-time longest winning run.by Mike Vogel @VogsCaps / Monumental Sports Network
January 5 vs. Columbus Blue Jackets at Verizon Center
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Radio: Capitals Radio 24/7
Columbus Blue Jackets 27-5-4
Washington Capitals 23-9-5
Washington concludes its three-game homestand against the hottest team the league has seen in nearly a quarter of a century. The Columbus Blue Jackets come to town on Thursday, for the second and final time this season. The Jackets will be seeking their 17th straight win, and if they get it, they'll match an NHL standard that has stood for nearly 24 years.
The Caps come into Thursday's game with a modest three-game winning streak of their own. Washington played the Jackets twice earlier this season, facing them twice in a span of six days in November, just before Columbus set off on its current winning spree. The Blue Jackets prevailed in both of those games, winning a 2-1 overtime game in Columbus on Nov. 15 and a 3-2 decision on Nov. 20 in the District.

"I think there are always certain games that have a little more impact emotionally or anything like that," says Caps coach Barry Trotz. "Some of them are through competition, through rivalry, and some are circumstance. Our guys, we're focused on our game. Obviously, Columbus is doing something pretty special. We'll just focus on Columbus and that'll be it."
The Jackets' streak started back on Nov. 29. At the time, the Caps had 28 points and were two points ahead of Columbus. While the Blue Jackets have been on their epic run, the Caps have more than held their own. Washington is 10-3-3 in its last 16 games, a stretch equivalent to roughly one-fifth of the season. That pace would produce 118 points if maintained over a full 82-game season.
While Washington would love to be the team that halts the Columbus run, the Caps are more interested in closing the gap in the Metropolitan Division standings. A regulation win would narrow the Jackets' lead over the Caps to five points, with Columbus still holding a game in hand.
"It's very much about shrinking the lead," says Caps center Lars Eller. "And also a little bit in the past two games against them, I feel like we let something get away that we shouldn't have. We let it slip through our hands, so that should be some extra motivation for sure. It's a big divisional game."
The Caps come into that big divisional game on the heels of a thrilling 6-5 overtime win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. Down 4-2 heading into the third, the Capitals rallied to force overtime and won it on Alex Ovechkin's 19th career overtime game-winner, a goal that ties him with Florida's Jaromir Jagr for the NHL's all-time lead in that category.

"It was difficult at times," Trotz says of the win over the Leafs. "We came out in the first part of the game and we set the tone. We established a forecheck, we were grinding them down and we were getting a few looks. They really didn't have anything. It was one of those games where every time they did get a chance, it seemed to end up in the back of our net. I didn't have them for very many [scoring] chances other than on their power play. Their power play was pretty good.
"It was tough mentally because every time you think you're playing okay, and you have the puck a lot. Then all of a sudden they get a chance and it's in your net. That was difficult. So a little bit of resiliency for us and we'll take the good comeback. When it counted, everybody stepped up."
Tuesday's game marks the second one in the last three that the Caps got six goals from six different skaters. As they prepare to take on the Jackets for the first time in a month and a half, the Caps can be confident that they're playing some of their best hockey as well.
"I think we're better," says Caps defenseman Matt Niskanen. "We're playing better recently. I don't think we've peaked yet; I think there is room for us to grow. I don't think we've reached our potential yet, but our game is in a better spot than it was earlier in the year, for sure."
"I think our guys are up to the challenge," says Trotz. "This is a team that's leading the league. They're a team that I think both games were very competitive that we played. We lost in overtime in Columbus, and they beat us with a power-play goal late [in Washington]. I think guys like the competition. It's something that good pros look at and say, "They're a good team and so are we. Let's see what happens."
Video: Rinkside Update: John Carlson 1/4/17
Since losing their first two games of the 2016-17 season - both on home ice - the Jackets have collected at least a point in 34 straight games (27-3-4), a remarkable feat in the modern NHL. In addition to their 16-game winning streak, the Jackets are carrying an 18-game point streak (17-0-1). They're also 21-1-2 in their last 24 games and 25-2-3 in their last 30.
During the life of its remarkable winning streak, Columbus has averaged just under four goals per game (3.88) while permitting fewer than two tallies per tilt (1.69). The Jackets have scored the game's first goal in 11 of the 16 games, and they've had 10 different players supply the game-winning goal during the streak, led by three from noted Caps killer Cam Atkinson.
Columbus has won a franchise record eight straight road games, and it has lost only two road games in regulation this season (12-2-3).
"The last couple of years I thought they were going to be really good, but they've had some injury problems," says Trotz of the Jackets. "That's really probably held them back. They've drafted really well and you knew that they had a good team, and then they faltered and got some other high draft choices. They turned those other high draft choices into pretty good players. They're a good hockey team."

Headphone Manufacturer Sennheiser to Open Experiential Pop up Stores in New York City and San Francisco for the Holiday Season
NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO, November 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Just in time for the holidays, German premium audio brand Sennheiser [http://en-us.sennheiser.com ] announces it will open two temporary concept stores in the U.S., running from November 22nd to December 28th. To increase consumer awareness on the benefits of premium sound and the Sennheiser brand, the experiential stores will feature an audiovisual cocoon design, host events and premiere an interactive installation by Andreas Muller of Nanika.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20141113/717112-a )
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20141113/717112-b )
Located in the trend-setting neighborhoods of New York's Lower East Side and San
Francisco's Mission District, the stores will act as urban hubs, allowing visitors to hang
out and enjoy the pleasures of excellent sound (#earlove) while browsing through a
selection of curated magazines and playlists. They will also be offered refreshment
The concept stores will feature a mélange of sonic and visual elements, interluding
between abstracted forms, cityscapes and visual sound waves. Grey acoustic panels will
cover the walls and not only convey a unique visual experience, but also reduce outside
noise and create a sonic 'cocoon' - a temporary 'escape' from the Christmas shopping
Each store will feature a DJ booth and gaming area where visitors can test specific
products in their home environment. Another highlight is an interactive audiovisual
installation by Andreas Muller which will visualize the ambient sounds outside the stores
in real-time.
While Sennheiser offers many professional audio products, the store's offering will
focus on Sennheiser's consumer headphones: the recently launched young URBANITE, the
premium MOMENTUM ON-EAR and smaller earphones. Prices will range between $20.00 - $300.00.
"The primary mission of these pop up stores is to offer urban consumers a deeper
appreciation of premium sound, while encouraging them to foster a closer relationship with
Sennheiser," explains Stefanie Reichert, Director Strategic Marketing Sennheiser. "During
November and December, in each of these U.S. urban capitals, consumers will have the
opportunity to interact directly with our brand, giving us the opportunity to better
understand customers' needs while perhaps influencing their decision-making criteria."
In-Store Events
In the New York store, Sennheiser will host weekly events with local musicians and
artists that will be live streamed on Sennheiser's website. Vogue's 'One to Watch' 2014
Marques Toliver is already confirmed. Others will be announced soon.
The Design
Inspired by Sennheiser's mission 'The Pursuit of Perfect Sound', the award-winning
spatial designer Helen Sirp collaborated with Saintil Communications creative director
Jean-Robert Saintil to create the experience of the stores. Envisioning a sanctuary for
excellent sound, Sirp explains: "I wanted to create a space that offers a unique
experience for sound and was intrigued by the contrast of sound vs silence. That's why we
chose the grey acoustic panels which also match Sennheiser's corporate colors quite
nicely. I especially like that the stores are in urban areas - sound waves meeting the
Central to the store space is the installation of the URBANITE headphones which will
be placed on illuminated 'sound towers'. These will form a visual 'sound wave' of light
which echoes the urban environment, reflecting the cityscape in an abstracted form
extending over the entire space. The second product series, the MOMENTUM On-Ear
headphones, will be housed in milky perspex illuminated towers converging out of walls
The window installation by Andreas Muller of London-based interactive design firm
Nanika [http://www.nanikawa.com ] visualizes the ambient sound inside stores to the
outside world in a real-time 3D display.
Helen Sirp, [http://helensirp.com ] the London-based designer who graduated at the
talent pool Central Saint Martin's, is best-known for designing and curating retail and
event spaces for the lingerie label Kriss Soonik, top-line London creative agency My
Beautiful City and Eesti Disainikeskus (The Estonian Design Centre) which was awarded as
best 'International Fashion Showcase' by the British Council during London Fashion Week
The opening of Sennheiser's concept stores follows the company's highly successful
'Let Your Ears Be Loved [http://sennheiser-urbanite.com/en-US ]' campaign that launched
earlier this fall, and gained over one million views in just ten days. The campaign, which
features video, social media and experiential event components - each driven by a sensual
and somewhat controversial German-accented 'URBANITE headphone character' - encourages
millennial consumers to pamper their ears with aural pleasure.

Case-based Online Radiology Education (CORE) is MedU's virtual patient program for medical students studying radiology.
In an era of cost-containment and increasing importance of evidence-based decision making, yet with increased reliance on imaging, having a basic understanding of the principles and applications of medical imaging is vital. The National Board of Medical Examiners has recognized this by increasing the imaging component of all United States Medical Licensing Examination exams. CORE currently includes 19 interactive virtual patient cases which encompass the learning objectives of the Association of University Radiologists (AUR) and the Alliance of Medical Student Educators in Radiology (AMSER) National Medical Student Radiology Curriculum.
CORE cases teach a patient-centered approach to imaging, foster self-directed and independent study, and build clinical problem-solving skills. They utilize the American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriateness criteria to teach an evidence-based approach to imaging and also link students to additional excellent interactive radiology resources on the Web.
These cases can be used as a stand-alone radiology course during a radiology clerkship or elective, or be incorporated into the appropriate clinical clerkships. For example, the women's imaging cases can be taken during the Ob-Gyn clerkship, the neuroimaging cases during the Neurology clerkship, thus teaching imaging at a time they can apply it. CORE may be used as a single MedU module or as an adjunct to other MedU courses.

A: Fashi, what happened if we can't remember to chant Guru's Mantra upon death?
Means that I can't go to Pureland?
Unlike you, I can't chant Guru's Mantra when I am asleep.
L: Actually, all boils down to Absolute Faith in One's Root Guru!
GM Lu promised all that if you diligently chant his mantra for 8 millions times, he will bring you on a tour to Maha Twin Lotus Pond, the Pureland of True Buddhas & White Padmakumara.
A: So its a inprint kind of thing?
L: Yes. You chant it so often with relevant visualisation, till Root Guru is always with you, therefore, you actually can do so in sleep or awake.
When HL has nightmare of boarding a ghosts filled ship, drawing upon Root Guru's presence "saved" her and also her spouse.
In recent articles, a shijie, X, alleged that she always suffered discomfort after visiting Z shijie's residence.
She consulted me without deferring to Root Guru first.
Then Y shijie came into the fray and frightened her about her having to bear responsibilities for others' negative!
THINK: Did X & Y prioritised deference to their own Root Guru in the first instance?
So how to help people like them?
Do visualisation of Root Guru's presence and beaming light blessing to ALL, then chant Root Guru's mantra continuing to share the light blessing far and wide.
Thats all!
Doing the 8 millions without proper visualisation of sharing with All, and also without sincerity but just chasing the numbers, sad to tell you that you are wasting your time!
So shortening or eliminating the distance between you and your Root Guru is the Key that you will be fetch & delivered to Pureland upon your demise!
AND, GM Lu recently promised to send all to Pureland and he will deal with the Karmic negatives for All!
SO? What do you still need to fear?
Just do your part with diligence, please.
OR, you can cultivate diligently till your achieved Guru Yoga and get to Pureland on your own steam!
Cheers all
Om Guru Lian Sheng Siddhi Hom

"We are definitely seeing a trend toward increased diagnosis of early stage breast cancer and decreased diagnosis of advanced stage breast cancer," said Joshua Meyerson, Medical Director for the Health Department of Northwest Michigan. "The reason for the trend is simple: mammograms."
An annual screening mammogram is recommended for women age 40 and older by the American Cancer Society and Meyerson says it is important in identifying cancer at an earlier, and more treatable, stage.
"In fact, we're seeing a decrease in mortality from breast cancer that may be a result of earlier detection as well as improved treatment," Meyerson said.
The Health Department has been working hard to encourage low-income, uninsured/underinsured women to come to their clinics for annual screening mammograms. Over 800 women age 40-64 were enrolled in the Breast & Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP) in 2010 from Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego counties. 28% were referred for further diagnostic services and 16 were treated for breast cancer.
"We want every woman to get the primary care she needs--including annual mammogram--no matter her income or insurance status," said Pat Fralick, Director of Family & Community Health for the Health Department. "That's why there are generous income eligibility guidelines for the BCCCP. For example, an uninsured woman from a family of four can have a household income of almost $56,000 and be eligible for the program. Women, who have health insurance but no mammogram coverage in this income bracket, are also eligible."
Fralick said there are several local charities and foundations who help the Health Department reach low income women by providing funds for outreach and education. "We are especially grateful to the Antrim County High Tea for Breast Cancer Prevention," she said. "With their help, we've increased the number of women enrolled in BCCCP ten-fold over the last few years." She said the program has had generous financial support from the Sue DeYoung/Judy Edger Breast Cancer Walk & Run, Charlevoix County Community Foundation, and Women of Harley 45th Parallel Chapter for outreach and to reduce barriers to care.
"I think we can look at our local data and conclude that getting more low-income, uninsured/underinsured women screened with mammograms appears to be helping reduce the number of advanced stage cancers and ultimately, reducing the number of breast cancer deaths," Meyerson said. "I am hopeful that this trend continues and perhaps we can see some truly significant decreases in mortality as we continue to promote early detection and better treatment for breast cancer."
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public Health Code to promote wellness, prevent disease, provide quality healthcare, address health problems of vulnerable populations, and protect the environment for the residents and visitors of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego counties. For more information about BCCCP, or to check eligibility and schedule an appointment, call the Health Department at 800-432-4121 during regular business hours.

Update: Changes to Your Alumni Email
Published January 15, 2018
To learn more about the recent changes to your alumni email account, please read this post from December 2017.
Now that it's been a few days since we implemented the changes with your email account, we've reviewed some of your feedback and would like to clarify a key point:
Your new email address and your school website authentication method are now different.
Your email domain (address) has changed to @alumni.fullsail.edu, but the address you will need to use for authentication to all Full Sail University websites is the @student.fullsail.edu address.
We realize this seems contradictory, and will have to humbly ask that you "excuse our dust," as this update is part of a larger, planned digital transformation initiative for Full Sail University. Your alumni email changes were just one of the many efforts we're undergoing to streamline and improve digital services for students, staff, and grads and we appreciate your patience and feedback as we strive to improve the transition process.
Stay tuned for continued communications and rest assured, we truly aim to make these transitions as smooth as possible. We're here to help support you through it!
As usual, feel free to reach out to Full Sail Tech Support with any questions or concerns (877.437.6349 or firstname.lastname@example.com).
Thanks very much,
--The Full Sail Tech Support & Community Team

What format/platform is used for your courses?
Our courses are online, asynchronous, with various interactive discussion boards. Participants complete work at their own pace. All of our courses are extremely engaging and require online collaboration between other participants in the course and with the teacher. In all of our courses, participants create work and share with other participants for authentic feedback.
What's the difference between a course for graduate credit, and a course not for graduate credit?
Besides the obvious, the major difference is that our non-graduate courses are pass/fail, whereas our graduate courses contain exams and other graded work. Participants must achieve a passing final grade to achieve graduate credit. Our graduate courses are fully accredited through Andrews University. Our non-graduate courses are approved for NYS CTLE hours.
Are your courses interactive and collaborative with other students and teachers enrolled in the course?
YES! All of our courses are extremely engaging and require online collaboration between other participants in the course and with the teacher. In all of our courses, participants create work and share with other participants for authentic feedback.

Fall Session: October 5- December 15
Winter Session: January 20- March 30
Spring Session: April 10- June 20
Summer Session: July 5- August 20
We offer four sessions for our graduate courses as well. The difference is, you have up to 6 months to complete a graduate course. Most students typically complete the course within one session. For instance, if they started in the January 20 session, they complete the course by March 30. Please note that grades will only be sent to Andrews University at the end of each session. If a student finishes the coursework on April 30, grades aren't processed at Andrews until the end of that session, June 20.
NYC students taking P-Credit courses have their own session dates. Please see the ASPDP Website for dates and more information about NYC P-Credit classes.
Can I request an extension?
YES! Life happens. If you cannot complete the graduate coursework within 2 sessions, or the in-service within one, email your instructor. Extensions can be granted.
Transcripts and Grades
Do I need an official transcript to renew my license or apply for lane change/salary increase?
Ed Technology Specialists recommends that you check with your school district and/or state licensing agency to verify these course offerings will meet your district and/or state requirements for salary advancement and/or state certificate re-licensure. Every state has different laws regarding license renewal. Furthermore, in some states (like NY) every school district has different rules regarding this. We suggest you review your state laws and your school districts' policies regarding this matter.
When will I receive my grade?
For graduate students:
Four times a year, on or around the last day of each session, Andrews University receives students' grades. Within about 2 weeks of that time, participants are notified that their official transcripts are ready. Students can then request official transcripts from Andrews University if needed. For more information on how to order official transcripts from Andrews University, click here.
For NYC students:
The ASPDP will inform you when you have officially received your P-Credits. Please visit their website for more details.
How and when do I receive my official transcripts?
What is your Academic Integrity Policy?
Ed Technology Specialists maintains an academic integrity policy for all participants taking our courses. Work must be entirely one's own; plagiarism of any kind is a violation of our policies. Participants may not copy any parts of another (present or past) participant and submit that work as their own. Participants are also barred from collaborating on any assessment that is intended to be completed individually, unless first getting permission from the instructor. Participants who fail to meet Ed Technology Specialists' academic integrity standards will receive a failing grade for their course and may not be allowed to take further courses with Ed Technology Specialists. Ed Technology Specialists will not refund any course fees for participants who violate the academic integrity policy.
Why should I take courses with Ed Technology Specialists?
Our courses are legitimately some of the most valuable, worthwhile courses that are available for teachers today. You will not find any busy work, and you will never feel like you have wasted your money. Our instructors are among the most talented PD leaders in the nation. In addition, you should feel good about taking courses with us. A portion of your tuition goes directly to our supported charities.
Do you offer courses for non-graduate credit?
Yes. We offer in-service courses as well.
Do I get a certificate of completion for non-graduate courses?
Yes indeed. You will receive a certificate indicating that you have completed the course equivalent to 3 semester credits (45 hours) unless otherwise noted.

Akerman Expands Real Estate Group with Addition of Four Lawyers in Denver
Akerman LLP announced the the addition of partners Allison Nelson and Lori Albert and associates William Garehime and Kelly Adams from Fennemore Craig to the firm's Real Estate Practice Group.
In a release, the firm said:
"Growing client needs across the real estate and construction sector continue to drive the expansion of our practice," said Richard Bezold, chair of Akerman's Real Estate Practice Group, which is ranked sixth by Law360 among the largest teams of real estate lawyers in the United States. "Allison leads a highly skilled team who operate at the intersection of the real estate and healthcare economies. These lawyers add important depth to our national and local capabilities as shifting federal and state policy agendas produce new opportunities and challenges for our clients."
"We are thrilled to welcome Allison and her team to the Denver office, where we have diverse practices in the financial services, real estate, healthcare and life sciences sectors," said Justin Balser, Akerman's Denver office managing partner. "Their deep experience in complex transactions and compliance investigations will provide immediate value to our clients in Denver and nationwide."
Nelson focuses her national practice on the representation of public and private healthcare systems in complex real estate transactions and joint-ventures, and in mergers and acquisitions. She partners with clients to construct and improve legal, business, and compliance systems to manage their U.S. healthcare real estate portfolios and navigate through real estate compliance investigations by the U.S. Office of Inspector General. Nelson also regularly represents commercial developers in refinancing and acquisition of Colorado properties.
Prior to Fennemore Craig, Nelson was the chair of the real estate transactions practice group at Polsinelli where she served as lead real estate counsel in the $1.2 billion acquisition of a five-campus hospital system in Houston, Texas.
Albert represents national healthcare organizations, as well as Fortune 500 companies, developers, and investors in acquisition, disposition, and financing transactions involving all types of real estate. She has negotiated numerous leases, subleases, and other lease-related transactions for healthcare providers, and ensures such arrangements are compliant with the Stark Law, Anti-kickback Statute, and other federal and state healthcare regulations. In the community, Albert serves on the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce Infrastructure Committee.
Real estate associates Garehime and Adams also principally focus their practice on healthcare real estate transactions. As a group, Nelson, Albert, Garehime and Adams are responsible for closing more than 500 healthcare leasing, development and acquisition projects annually across the United States.
Denver marks the latest growth for the firm's Real Estate Practice Group. Akerman previously welcomed a real estate and land use team in Los Angeles led by partner Ellen Berkowitz from Gresham Savage; real estate litigation partner Michael Weiss from Lewis Brisbois in Los Angeles, hospitality litigation partner Joshua Bernstein from Pryor Cashman in New York and real estate transactional partner Thomas Diorio from Nixon Peabody in New York.

Ever since their first record launched on Futuristica Music, back in 2008, Emanative have been quietly shaping the contemporary jazz-dance landscape - an achievement for which they are rarely accredited to. Hopefully, we can change some of those misconceptions by telling you just how special this new EP for Jazz45 is sounding! The opening "New Day" features the soulful vocals of Ahu over a rolling, breaks-centric groove with plenty of melodic quirks and, of course, the unstoppable euphoric power of the flute; the flipside's instrumental allows you to get even closer to the music constructed by Emanative, which is undoubtedly the outfit's long-running forte.

Please refer to our Staging Your Home pages first before you begin photographing. You may want to consider hiring a professional photographer to come and take your photos. You can usually find someone in your area to do this for a couple hundred dollars depending on the package and size of your property. If you would like suggestions on who you might get contact us here at Solid Realty Group and we can offer you some. Photographs are very important; most buyers will see your home online before they ever decide to schedule an appointment to view it in person. Make sure you make a good online impression.
Great! So you have decided to photograph your house yourself. You have taken all the steps suggested for decluttering, rearranging the furniture, and staging your house. You have replaced all the light bulbs, done your repair and touch up work, and you feel you are ready to go. Let's get started with the photos. The first thing to consider is the camera. Cell phone cameras have come a long way in recent years and many are capable of taking quality photos of your home. If you are not in possession of one of these phones then a digital camera can be purchased for a couple hundred dollars that will do the job. If possible it is better to open the curtains and blinds to allow the natural light in and allow for the buyer to see the view outside your windows as well and the inside of your home. This is of course assuming there is a view of something other than the side of the neighbor's house outside the window. One of the main problems homeowners find when taking their own photographs is that the windows create a bright spot and the room becomes very dark. This can be minimized by taking your photos on an overcast day or just before dark or after dawn when the light is more defused outside. Play with the photos a little bit; try them with the lights on and the lights off and see what gives you the better shot. Homes are all different and the lighting in different rooms is different; if you do not have thousands of dollars' worth of photography equipment you will have to see what works best as you proceed through your house. Take the larger rooms from several angles so the online home buyers get a full picture of what the rooms look like. Stand in the corners of the rooms and get the shots. Focus on the following areas:
How to take Photos for your MLS Listing
- Consult the home staging guide to get you started. (Always remove personal and unnecessary items that clutter up the rooms)
- Remember people are buying your house NOT your stuff.
- Make sure the room is well lit.
- Light is important so people interested in your home can see the layout and want to come look!
- Pull back the curtains and allow the sunlight into the house.
- The best time to take pictures for the outside is morning for the east end and mid-afternoon for the west end homes.
- Stand in the corner of the room across from the light and take a few pictures for quality.
- You want a wide shot so people can see the full room.
- If possible, take a few pictures from a straight angle, high and low and choose the best one! Remember, tilted shots or upward angles will distort the view and not give an accurate representation.
- Upload and send us up to 25 pictures of your house. Keep the size to 640x480. This way the images will be crisp. Anything bigger will not upload and anything smaller may have to be stretched which will distort the image.
Include the following:
- Outside Front View
- Inside hallway/entrance
- Livingroom
- Kitchen
- Dining room
- Master Bedroom
- Master Bathroom
- Closet (If cleaned and ready to show)
- Hallways
- Additional bedrooms
- Additional bathrooms
- Backyard/Pool
- Side of the house
- Any additional pictures you think accentuates you house.
Common Photo Mistakes
- Sending picture that are too big or too small. The ideal image will run (640X480)
- If you crop your photos they will appear distorted and will be hard to image.
- Vertical Pictures can and usually misrepresent the image so keep the image wide by vertical.
**Photos must be no larger than 10MB in size.
**Each image must not exceed 2880×2880 pixels.
Once you have taken the photos you like, save them in .jpg format, attach them to an email firstname.lastname@example.com or text them to 210.827.3733 and send them our way.
Remember when you bought your house. What features drew you to it? What caused you to fall in love? Look for the aspects that catch your eye. Have fun taking them but remember they are buying your house NOT your stuff so make sure it's cleaned up and ready to show!
Feel free to call our office if you have questions, concerns or problems we are happy to walk you through anything you need help with.

.htaccess with sth like
Redirect 402 /
ErrorDocument 402 "Payment Required"
For 2.0.54 and 1.3.33 this yields in
HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 23:33:07 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
The Content-Type should be text/plain;charset=<.htaccess encoding> or at least
the DefaultType. Or failing that this behavior should be documented.
For 1.3:
See suppress-error-charset description at
That will suppress the automatic "charset=iso-8859-1", if you can manage to set
suppress-error-charset for the appropriate set of requests.
Those docs say that it is in Apache >= 2.0.40, but it won't be in Apache 2.0
until 2.0.55.
The main concern is that it uses text/html even though most people probably
would not use a complete HTML document in ErrorDocument directive. So
the "redirect" in the suppress-error-charset refers to any "Redirect" redirect?
Since for the "Redirect 402 /" directive Apache would not generate a redirect
in HTTP terms. From the documentation I'd call it suppress-redirect-charset.
I don't see the harm here in using text/html. For any short piece of text it is
going to look the same regardless of the content-type, and this allows you to
use some simple html if you want to.

Brighton & Hove City Council Are Replacing Your Recycling Bins But Not Everyone Is Happy About It
As some may know, Brighton and Hove City Council is currently in the process of replacing the city's black, stackable recycling tubs in favour of more robust, black recycling bins.
The new wheelie bins can take up to 240 litres of recycled waste. The decision has come after a trial showed a marginal increase in recycling habits when the new bins were in place, however not everyone is happy with the decision…
More than 60,000 households are set to receive the changed recycling bins but for one street that has already received theirs, opinion is divided. The Hove residents have argued that the new bins simply create more obstacles, especially within flats. Others have referred to them as ugly as well as hazardous for the elderly and mothers with pushchairs.
However not everyone's displeased with the new scheme, with some residents saying they're more tidy and hold more recycling. Despite that, those residents do acknowledge they're fine provided you have the space for them.
On the matter, a Brighton and Hove City Council spokeswoman has said, "We want to make it easy for everyone to recycle their household waste". According to her, residents have the option of requesting a larger or smaller size.
For more information about the new wheelie bins, click here.

The Leviathan is the gatekeeper of Irkalla.
Character arc
The Leviathan takes anyone that touches a sacred plot in a Fae burial ground down to Irkalla, the underworld and a realm that no one ever leaves.
It searched for six hundred years for the mark that was branded on Bo's chest by The Wanderer while she was on the Death Train. The mark was supposed to have been hers, but was kept from her.
The Leviathan will consider someone's request in exchange for a riddle. When she failed to correctly answer Bo's riddle, she returned Bo back to the Fae graveyard.
Its species is not known.
Character arc
- LEVIATHAN: "I am black as night and as bright as day, as cold as March and as warm as May. What am I?" – riddle for Bo
- BO: "She's brilliant. He's strong. Her life is little. His life is long. Both loves are pure. Both loves are true. If you were I, who would you choose?" – riddle for The Leviathan
- LEVIATHAN: The man! He will live longer. No, wait. The woman. Yes, you love her. You wear her humanity like a shield. No, um, wait ... the man. Yes, you crave strength. The man. I answer the man. (Bo shakes her head "no".) Was it the woman? I must know.
BO: Hey, I was kind of hoping that you could tell me 'cause as far as I know there is no answer. – (about Bo's riddle)
- LEVIATHAN: "I will see you again, soon enough. Someone you love very much will soon be dead." – to Bo
- In Jewish mythology, Leviathan is a primordial sea serpent. Its source is in prebiblical Mesopotamian myth, especially that of the sea monster in the Ugaritic myth of Baal.[1]
- In Babylonian mythology, Irkalla is the underworld from which there is no return. It is ruled by the goddess Ereshkigal and her consort, the death god Nergal. Irkalla had no punishment or reward, being seen as a more dreary version of life above. As the subterranean destination for all who die, Irkalla is similar to Sheol of the Hebrew Bible or Hades of classic Greek mythology.[2]
- The underworld or netherworld is thought to be deep underground or beneath the surface of the world in most religions and mythologies. Typically it is a place where the souls of the departed go, an afterlife or a realm of the dead.[3]
