Ghana's democracy is driving great progress in health and education
Previous case studies
'Ghana, the rising star' – Press launch
Political voice, women's empowerment and well-being
Our research on political voice and women's empowerment shows that despite a range of challenges, tangible progress is being made in the case study countries – and this progress can provide lessons for other countries in advancing political voice and women's empowerment. This animation showcases the key findings and lessons.
Time for the South to step up and help finance development?
'The 0.1% proposal is a big step, but not impossible', writes Gideon Rabinowtiz on the idea that upper-middle-income countries should commit 0.1% of their national income to development cooperation. Assessing the prospects for the success, he outlines what needs to be done to make this idea a reality.
The commitment to 'leave no one behind' has been a key feature of all the discussions on the post-2015 agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A new Development Progress briefing, accompanied by two new reports looking at different aspects of measuring progress, looks at the role measurement and data have to play in delivering on this commitment in the years to come.
Financing development: A few lessons from Development Progress case studies
Ahead of our Financing the Future conference in Accra, 17-18 March, ODI's Annalisa Prizzon gives an overview of recent Development Progress synthesis research into what has worked in development finance. At least three key factors emerge as lessons from the research, and should provide ample food for thought in this crucial year of development finance negotiations.

Reports: Telstra Customers Suffering Crippling Speeds To Any Apple Service 50
An anonymous reader writes: It appears a large number of customers of Telstra (one of Australia's largest telcos) have been suffering crippling speeds while attempting to connect to any Apple Service for the better part of four days. Reports indicate this is affecting Apple Music, Apple App Stores (on both iOS and OSX) and are stopping many Telstra customers from getting access to app updates and the much anticipated El Capitan release of OS X. Mobile phone customers as well as home broadband customers seem to be affected at this stage with a large number of posts both on Twitter and the Whirlpool Broadband Forum. It appears one Twitter user has also fully summarised all the issues in a single post including many of the Twitter posts as well.

Hermann Park has quickly become my favorite spot in Houston. Great place for picnics, workouts and free shows at the Miller Outdoor Theater!
Hermann Park is very large and there is plenty activities to keep you entertained. The reflecting pool is very similar to the on in Washington DC. There is splash pad for kids to enjoy at one end of the reflecting pool which is great on a hot day. Nearby is the Japanese Gardens. They are very lovely gardens that are worth a walk through. It wasn't too busy on the Sunday we were there but it was extremely hot so that could be why.
Hermann park is unexpected. Nestled in the center of a bustling oil city and surrounded by diverse neighborhoods, Hermann Park stands as a monument to the unabashed wealth of Houston's elite. To sound less pretentious, Hermann Park is very accessible and has plenty of excellent outdoor space and views, with a swan lake, Washington Monument, reflecting pool, outdoor amphitheater and zoo. 3 miles of running track surround the perimeter and the heart of Houston is within walking distance in all directs, or 1 Metro Rail ride. Parking is limited, but who drives anyways? Go run around this place.
Something to do for all ages - train, paddle boats, bike trail, gardens, golf, picnic area, wild life, fountains. Beautifully landscaped. Lots of shade. Decent parking.
I haven't been to Hermann Park in about 15 yrs. Today i decided to take a stroll there. The park has really improved! Its very nice and peaceful. I love the reflection pool and the Japanese garden. The downside is all the homeless people I saw and the restrooms. They were filthy and the eating areas had foul smells because of all the homeless people setting up camp there. In all the park is nice and Im going there again in the following weeks.

First Look: Logitech Revue
Web on your TV, Apps on your TV, Harmony Link can control the rest of your kit, upgradable
Another box to connect to your TV, controlled via an ugly keyboard
Google TV has finally launched. It's here to make your TV smarter, oh, and to take on the likes of Apple, Boxee, and Roku at the same time. But should you be investing in the new "smart" TV top box? Pocket-lint was at the launch of the Logitech Revue in New York City to find out.
The Logitech Revue is a fairly large black TV top box that connects to your television via HDMI cable and then wirelessly to your home network giving you the new Google TV. Currently, Revue is the only way to get the new Google service (Sony is launching a TV in just 7 days time) and certainly the only way to get it without having to upgrade your television.
The Revue connects to any HDTV using the included HDMI cable to display in 1080p. Other I/O ports include: HDMI input/output, a wireless 802.11a/b/g/n and Ethernet based 10/100 Base-T, audio optical output (S/PDIF), 2x USB 2.0 ports, an integrated Logitech Harmony Link IR Blaster for A/V device control and Logitech Unifying wireless technology.
Once connected, the Revue can be controlled in different ways including a large keyboard; included in the box, an optional mini controller; similar to the company's PS3 controller released a number of years ago, and even your mobile phone; via iPhone or Android.
The keyboard is just what you would expect, complete with a standard QWERTY keyboard, a built-in trackpad on the right hand side and a series of shortcut keys to let you zip through the Google TV system and your other home cinema equipment. It's not sexy, but it will get the job done and it is way more practical that that Sony remote keyboard "thing".
The mini controller combines a palm-sized keyboard, dual-mode touch pad, and entertainment-system remote in one. It looks to be the same as the PS3 offering, and really just a smaller version of the included keyboard, so you won't be as easily branded a geek for using it.
If you really want to avoid the keyboard altogether then you can opt for smartphone control. Downloadable via the relevant app stores, you can use your phone to control what's happening on the screen. That means no more fighting over the remote, but it also means plenty of channel hopping arguments could be in store.
That's the hardware, what about the software? Here Google does its best to offer you the Internet from your TV and gives you the power to search the web, surf the web, run apps, customise your homepage, manage your TV shows, movies and other content. The interface is easy to navigate, and the experience is simple but effective.
Playing on the company's history in remote controls, the Revue includes the company's Harmony Link technology as a core part of the Google TV platform. What that means is that you can control your HDTV, AVR and TV top box in your entertainment system via IR, all from your keyboard controller. Cool!
As for the apps, there are plenty on the way. But to get you started you'll get Logitech Vid HD, the Logitech Media Player, Google Gallery, YouTube as well as applications from Netflix, Napster, Twitter, Pandora, NBA, CNBC and DISH giving you plenty to get going with if you like music, movies and sports. Expect this to grow considerably once the service starts to get into homes.
All that aside, what makes the Revue and Google TV cool is the fact that it combines so many options into one easy-to-use system. Let's say you're sitting on your couch and you decide to search for your favourite TV show using the Revue. Without the Revue, you would use your standard cable company issued remote control to access the menu and search for the live TV show. Or you may grab another DVR remote to search through recorded programs. With the Revue and Google TV, you simply pull up a search bar, much like you would on a smartphone or your computer, and search the name of the show.
If you search for your favourite TV show using the Revue, the first result in the list may be the live showing of the program, the second might be last week's episode on DVR, and the third might be a relevant YouTube video and then a full list of Google search results.
If you choose the YouTube result, the Revue will instantly pull up the YouTube link in the Chrome browser on your TV and the video will start playing, the same way you would see it on your home computer - only you're watching it on the TV in your living room.
Logitech mentioned that the living room is one of the best places in the house, and we agree. Being able to watch TV while searching the Internet all from our couch within one system, means we are automatically fans. That laptop can get hot on your lap.
We also like the idea of being able add accessories to it like a webcam so you can chat with your friends from your home TV. It's a much more intimate chat experience than chatting from your desktop computer or even your laptop, and is sure to offer a viable alternative to Skype on your TV or other webcam solutions on the horizon like Cisco Umi.
Now you will be able to invite your international friends into your living room, even if they can't physically be there - something that is seriously cool and intimate, and will keep us from having to clean the kitchen because we're having company over. It's a win win as far as we are concerned.
So where's the catch? Well the system isn't 100 per cent perfect. Users will have to use Logitech Vid Chat rather than Skype, Apple's FaceTime or Microsoft Messenger offering - let's hope that changes in the future, but overall, we would say the Revue has some serious promise to redefine the way we watch and absorb TV.
First Impressions
There's nothing better than plopping down on the couch and zoning out to the TV while cruising YouTube or searching the Internet from a laptop, and let's face it, that's what most of us do these days.
Some of us at Pocket-lint have some serious attention problems, so we're really drawn to the "dual search" functionality that lets you keep a TV program on the screen while searching the Internet for related (or unrelated) content. The feature simply refines the way we already watch TV and absorb content, which is very welcomed.
Being an all-in-one way to surf, watch, and control, we think it's fair to say that Google TV and systems like the Revue will be the norm in the near future.
Couch potatoes rejoice.
The Logitech Revue is due out in the US at the end of October and expected in the UK early 2011.

This review is from: Nextbook NX008HD8G 8GB 8" Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Touch Screen Tablet - Black
Pros: It has a good feel to it and the screen is nice. Very easy to setup and use.
Cons: The audio didn't work, I double checked the specks to make sure it had a speaker, which it does, but no sound. The audio jack does work, so I can attach it to external speakers or headphones.
Other Thoughts: Other than the audio, this has been a good little tablet, I would order another for the price on the refurb.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: vital Air 902 9" Quad Core GPS Tablet PC - Bluetooth FM, 1GB RAM, 8GB Nand Flash - Dual Cameras - Android 4.4 KitKat
Pros: My gaming apps seem to run well. I was able to run avi and divx movies that I uploaded to the microSD card. Granted it ia a tablet for under $100, but PLEASE READ THE CONS before purchasing.
Cons: 1. BUY AN ADDITIONAL Micro SD CARD. This tablet has 8GB of internal memory to which only just over 3GB is available for storage.
2. The screen can only really be viewed from directly in front of it. The colors distort at any other angle and make it hard see. Hard to watch a movie while laying in bed unless your holding it up directly in front of you.
3. The battery life only lasts for about 3 hours, 4 hours if you turn the brightness down.
4. Response time from selecting options and loading applications is lacking. I found myself hitting buttons on non-network applications 2 or 3 times before it would process.
5. There is no GPS software loaded on this tablet or any mention of GPS software in the paperwork in the box. It does have google maps which requires a network connect to run. So unless you're tethering off a wireless hotspot in your car or using your data plan on your phone to run it. Its a sketchy bit of advertising there.
This review is from: Cooler Master HAF XB EVO - High Air Flow Test Bench and LAN Box Desktop Computer Case with ATX Motherboard Support
Pros: VERY sturdy case with overkill on cooling ability. To the contrary of post that this case was loud, mine is super super quiet with only the stock fans running. even with a mammoth SILVERSTONE NT06-PRO Low Profile CPU Cooler with Thin 120mm fan inside. Even after a year the front USB ports have been super reliable along with the front audio ports which I have had problems with in the past with previous cases.
Cons: Not as easy to work in as a tower due to the power supply covering part of the motherboard, but the power supply easily unscrews and slides out of the back.
Other Thoughts: Had this case for over a year now and still enjoy it as much now as I did when I first got it.READ FULL REVIEW

Gering & López Gallery Announces Joan Snyder Exhibition
GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY will present JOAN SNYDER, Symphony, an exhibition of works on paper from 1968 -1976 and recent paintings. This will be the artist's first exhibition with the gallery.
In this exhibition, the language of music is very much in the foreground of a dialogue between early drawings and recent paintings. Motifs such as grids and texts resurface, and an examination of structure reveals that the artist's past studies of strokes and gestures coincides somewhat serendipitously with a recent focus on these markings. Snyder has said that music plays a key role in her search to elucidate and bring to fruition a completed work. She states: "The breadth of a piece of music with its many layers, polytonalities, with many instruments playing at once, is something I've attempted to do in my paintings." Furthermore, there are references to landscape, architecture, nature and figuration. These moments are also clarified by the organic qualities of music, a feeling palpable throughout the exhibition.
Joan Snyder began exhibiting her work in 1966, after receiving an M.F.A. from Rutgers University. She received the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1974, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship in 1983 and a MacArthur Fellowship in 2007. Her extensive career has included solo exhibitions at the Jewish Museum, NY, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY, the Danforth Museum, Framingham, MA, the Rose Art Museum, Waltham, MA, the Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, CT, the Renaissance Society, Chicago, IL, the Neuberger Museum, Purchase, NY, the Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, NY, the San Francisco Art Institute, CA and the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art, CA among many others. Her work is included in the Permanent Collections of the Corcoran Gallery, Washington, DC, the Guggenheim Museum, NY, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY, the Museum of Modern Art, NY, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, DC and the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY.

Jazz music has traveled a long way toward respectability in a short period of time. In 1921 the Ladies Home Journal asked, "Does Jazz Put the Sin in Syncopation?" and confirmed soon after that indeed, "the Road to Hell is too often paved with jazz steps." Fifty-seven years later, at a jazz recital on the White House lawn, President Jimmy Carter declared "this concert is just as much a part of the greatness of America as the White House or the Capitol building down the street." Our course asks who makes decisions about the value of a cultural form and on what basis, using the changing status of jazz as its example. Key themes include:
Few people know the radical science movement of the 1970s and 1980s in the United States, or that many scientists during the 1940s and 1950s were Marxist or socialist thinkers, like Albert Einstein. From the beginning, science was for and by the people. However, that has changed over time as science has become more conservative in nature and has separated itself from the public. Given new developments in science and technology and their ethical and social implications, there is now a renewed push for scientists to engage with the public. In this course, we will look at how the involvement of scientists with the public has changed and ask: Who is the public? What is science communication and public engagement? Who benefits from this interaction? Why is it important for scientists to engage with the public? What are the potential challenges? Do scientists have a special obligation to society? By addressing these questions, we will have a better understanding of the complex relationship between the scientific community and the rest of society as well as reflect on the emancipatory possibilities of science.
Bob Dylan is one of the single most influential musical artists of the last century, and also one of the most mystified and mystifying. From his emergence as a folk singer in New York City in the early 1960s he was constantly inventing and reinventing himself in reaction to the world around him, and his public was constantly finding in him what they wanted to find. But who is he really? In this course, we will use his life to look at the American society that shaped him, and to see what that will tell us about his art, his identity, and the development of American popular culture from the 1960s to today.
In the history of rock and roll few acts have had the longevity, popularity, and impact of U2. This course will trace the musical journey of U2 from their humble beginnings in Dublin, Ireland in the 1970s, to selling out stadiums around the world today. Along the way we will examine U2's diverse musical catalog, their critical and commercial highs and lows, as well as the social consciousness exhibited in their songs and activism.
In On Looking: A Walker's Guide to the Art of Observation, author Alexandra Horowitz shows us how much there is to see in the world around us. We'll follow her as she walks with experts on a range of subjects, including a geologist, a sound designer and an urban sociologist. We'll also walk with some local experts and learn what they have to teach as about what they see, how they see it, and why most of us do not see the same things, even in places we think we know well.
Allan Janik, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Innsbruck and author of Wittgenstein's Vienna, has called the Vienna of this period "the Silicon Valley of the Mind". Rarely has so much talent in fields ranging from literature, art, architecture and music to economics, politics, science and psychology inhabited a single place and time, and with such ramifications for the century to come, standing on the cusp of the first World War. And where was all this so hotly debated? In the Viennese coffeehouses, where coffee was "not the ends, but the means" (Hans Wiegel). We will enter this world through the works of Rainer Maria Rilke (Letters to a Young Artist), Arthur Schnitzler (Circles or The Blue Room), Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Stefan Zweig, Ludwig von Wittgenstein, even the Empress Elisabeth, as well as artists such as Gustav Klimt and his Kiss, as well as architects, composers, and others in areas of interest to the students enrolled in the course. Our focus will be on issues of love, sex, relationships, communication, and on how the issues of this time continue to inform the world we live in today.
Instead of debating the truth or falsity of any aspect of any religion (new or old, living or dead), this seminar explores how religious movements born in the modern era construct authority using transcendent sources, proclaimed hagiographies and lineages, founding texts, strategic identity building and boundary negotiations. Although many religion courses act as if only ancient (but not dead) religions are worth studying, not only are many religious customs recent innovations, newer religions can just as clearly, maybe more clearly, illustrate how religious traditions and identities are constructed. Newer religious movements considered include Rastafari, Mormonism, Scientology, and Wicca, but other less well known newer religions and some well known World Religions will be used for illustration and comparison.
What does science fiction tell us about the human condition? Since the inception of television shows such as The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) and Lost in Space (1965-1968), audiences have confronted many enduring questions, such as what it means to be human. Gene Roddenberry, futurist and creator of the Star Trek series, tackled some of the greatest social and political questions of his day. He hired the first multicultural cast and aired the first interracial kiss. Roddenberry credited Star Trek's enduring success "to the show's positive message of hope for a better tomorrow," as the first series to depict a peaceful future. Students in this course will examine historical and cultural settings as we view episodes from the original Star Trek series (1960s) and The Next Generation (1980s and 90s), as well as the spinoff series Deep Space 9, Voyager, and Enterprise, to understand how the Star Trek phenomenon has reflected "American" culture and informed us about the human condition.
New York City: circa 1960. The sharply-dressed Account Managers and Creative Staff at the Madison Avenue firm Sterling Cooper drink Scotch before noon, chain smoke, chase and catch shapely secretaries. Domesticity and pastel-draped suburban life appear tranquil and fulfilling, but foster simmering resentment. This Archway Seminar takes a look at American life and culture, through AMC's critically acclaimed television show Mad Men.
Socrates famously claims that the unexamined life is not worth living. This course is designed to provide the opportunity for students to philosophically examine their own lives through a close textual analysis and discussion of some of the philosophers who engaged in this very activity at some point in their lives. This discussion will lead us into variously fascinating areas of philosophical interest, including metaphysics (e.g. the nature of the soul and moral values such as piety), the study of knowledge, language and religion. Students will be asked to reflect on these issues both in understanding these philosophies and as a platform for examining their own lives and times.
Feminist theorists once argued that the gaze is male; subsequent thinkers posited a queer gaze. For three decades, queer theory has explored the complexities of gender, sexual orientation, desire, and identity. Communities across the globe have questioned heteronormative restrictions; visual media in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Latin America depict various definitions and expressions of liberation. Inundated with images of gender roles and expectations, how do educated spectators respond? Synthesizing information from visual and other texts, students will be expected to evaluate and critique constructions of gender, including gender expression, gender performance and culturally specific representations of gender.
Ordinarily, a class would not take a whole semester to study one play, but Hamlet is not an ordinary play. In addition to reading and discussing the play (which will involve the question of which version of the play should be seen as definitive), we will look at the play's sources, its literary context (revenge tragedy and the development of English blank verse), its political context (the end of Queen Elizabeth's reign and anxiety over her succession), and its intellectual context (Machiavelli, Montaigne, Castiglione). We will look at the interpretations Hamlet has inspired over the centuries, and at ways it has been performed, and at some of the ways contemporary writers like Tom Stoppard and Margaret Atwood have reshaped it into new original works.
This course will be an introduction to the academic study of atheism designed for the intellectually curious student. Readings and class discussion will be organized around basic but productive questions such as: What is atheism? What are the arguments for and against the existence of God? What is the place of God in science? What can science tell us about religion and faith? Can an atheist have ethics or live a moral life? How is atheism represented in art? What is behind the rise of the so-called "New Atheism"? In exploring answers to these questions, we will take an interdisciplinary approach, reading widely from philosophy, the physical sciences, the social sciences, autobiography, and literature.
Bond. James Bond. This introduction is arguably one of the most recognizable and celebrated utterances in the history of popular culture. The James Bond name conjures a multitude of diverse and exotic sights, sounds, and sentiments. Why has Bond endured as an icon for so many years? This course will explore and dissect both the literary and cinematic worlds of James Bond, aiming to understand his many incarnations as reflections of the eras in which they were crafted. By the end of the course, students will be well versed in the myth and lore of James Bond, the influence of pop culture on the Bond world and vice versa, and the impact of political and economic events on the evolution of the James Bond franchise.
Think of your most cherished memories. If you lost access to them, would you still be the same person? We build our identities on the foundation of memory, but that foundation is far from perfect. We misremember, we exaggerate, and we forget. Memory shapes our interactions with each other too. If individuals, or nations, disagree about their shared past, how can they iron out their differences? Why are memorials to the past so often controversial? In this Archway Seminar, we will consider these questions and more as we reflect on the power of memory, humankind's most valuable and problematic asset.
Language is one of humans' defining characteristics. Words have the power to make friends or enemies. A shared language can unite diverse people, but abusive speech can harm others. In this class, we will consider language from various angles and explore the ways language is important in many fields (law, marketing, education, politics, psychology, and more). Given our broad and flexible topic, students will have both the freedom and the responsibility of focusing assignments according to their personal, academic, and professional interests. Bring an open mind and your favorite words!
This course will focus on women and their role in history as well as the social and institutional obstacles they have encountered. Although art will not be the primary focus, we will begin with Linda Nochlin's pivotal question in 1971: "Why are there no great women artists?" The sculpture The Dinner Party, by Judy Chicago then will serve as a bridge between the issues brought up in Nochlin's article about women artists specifically to a more general study of women in various fields.
This seminar will explore selected crises from different perspectives, reading articles from local and European sources as well as from the US press and writers. The crises to be examined will include ISIS and Ukraine as well as a long-term conflict – Tibet. Students will prepare a research project examining a crisis of their choice examining the nature of the conflict as well as solutions to it.
Wilderness is "…an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain" (Wilderness Act of 1964), and I believe it must be experienced to be fully appreciated. In this course, we will explore the recreational, ecological, geological, historical and cultural values of wilderness and study the conservation and preservation movements for wilderness protection.
To begin this Archway Seminar, students spend six days exploring the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota by canoeing, portaging (carrying canoes, camping gear and food from one lake to another) and camping in this remote area. This experience serves as our case study for an exploration into the necessity of wilderness in North America, which we investigate during the Fall 2015 semester. This trip is a rugged wilderness experience with canoeing and portaging several miles each day, sometimes in difficult conditions (steep, rocky, muddy portages, carrying 50 lbs of equipment or more). No prior camping experience is necessary; however, you must be in good physical condition with no physical impairments to prevent successful performance of necessary trip activities.
Course enrollment is limited to 14 students. The wilderness trip begins Aug. 9, two weeks before the first official day of class. Interested students must complete an application (available on course website) by May 15 though selection for the class is rolling – the earlier you apply the more likely you will be selected. A fee of $300 (above other NWU fees) for this course, to offset trip costs, is due by June 29. http://www.wildernesslas.com
Life presents diverse opportunities to create a path that illuminates and celebrates your strengths and challenges. In Gifts of Imperfection Brené Brown helps us find resilience by cultivating vulnerability and openness. This class will require us to step outside of our comfort zone so that we can live more deeply and deliberately. Marianne Williamson said, "As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Together we can inspire people to embrace their authentic leadership roles.
The history of tattoos is global, rich, and complicated, so the "meaning" of tattoos can vary from culture to culture and over time. Today, people get tattoos for different reasons, but some people might get a tattoo for no particular reason at all. Some theorists say that tattoos represent a counter-cultural movement, while others say that tattoos are just another product of our consumer culture. Still others suggest that tattoos are not just, or not only, 'fashionable,' but that tattoos allow us to use our bodies as a canvas, as art, and so a tattoo is a permanent expression of individual identity; even if you can't see it, my tattoo(s) mean something to me. While you do not need to want, get, or have a tattoo to be a member of this course, if you are –like me- curious about what tattoos do or can mean, and about why, while some people cannot stand tattoos, others can't get enough of them, then it might be worth asking "what's in a tattoo?"
If zombies were real what would be going on in their brains? This seminar will focus on zombies in order to explore basic principles of neuropsychology and the human brain. Historical case studies of neurological disorders will help us understand how scientists learned about the human brain through its dysfunctions. For example, what happens when the body survives a disaster but the mind does not? We will intellectually wrestle with the idea of consciousness and whether there is a continuum of zombie-like behavior in humans.
The music we listen to, including its lyrics, musical content, videos, images, genres, artists, producers, and other aspects, expresses different societal beliefs. In addition, music can also influence social ideas. Together we will create a course outline that includes the many different types of music that are on each class member's playlists. We will critically examine these chosen songs as well as research magazine articles, music blogs, Youtube comments, and the many other sources appropriate to the styles of music being studied. Analyzing these sources will lead us to better understand how the music we listen to both expresses and shapes our society. We will deal with questions such as: How is music consumed? How is music thought of? How is music produced? How does music shape our society? How does society shape the music we consume? What power do we have as consumers to shape the music we listen to?
What happens when fact becomes fiction? How do filmmakers tell the stories of history? Can we learn something from watching a fictional version of an historical event? Where does the truth of history lie? In this course, we'll explore these questions, and more, through analysis of films about people and events from American history in the 20th century. For example, we may look at such films as JFK, All the President's Men, Saving Private Ryan, Apollo 13, and Zero Dark Thirty. In reading, writing, and talking about these questions, students will learn how to analyze films rhetorically and how to evaluate and interpret historical evidence.
The field of psychology has traditionally focused on understanding and treating the problems and mental illnesses that people encounter. The relatively new area of Positive Psychology instead focuses on understanding and maximizing the behaviors and strategies that lead to a successful and rewarding life. We will investigate this psychology that looks to help people thrive and flourish, not just provide intervention for the negative things. We will investigate questions such as, what strategies do people use to deal effectively with life? What do terms like "flow" and "in the zone" really mean and how do I get in it? What is "Authentic Happiness"? Can money make me happy? And what are my strengths and how can I effectively use them to my advantage?
This course gives students the opportunity to look at the social phenomenon of humor through the lenses of research in various disciplines. Students will come to understand what makes something humorous as well as the impact of humor on the mind and body and in various contexts. Course material draws on the fields of sociology, psychology, physiology, medicine, communication, political science, business, education, linguistics and literature, as well as research from noted humor scholars.
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

My fiancee and I both enjoyed this a great deal. I did not have brown rice on hand, so we had to use white basmati. I also used a mix of 2 parts chicken breast to 1 part chicken thighs. I also added a chicken boullion cube to add a deeper flavor.
I would use a little less oregano than the recipe calls for. Plus I would double the green olives. We will definitely make this again.

Recent Leverick Bay reviews
"our stay at tamarind villa was absolutely wonderful. when we arrived, tiina was at the airport to greet us and take us by the store to get supplies. she then took us on to the house and gave us the tour. she was not intrusive at all which we greatly appreciated and she answered the phone immediately and gave great advice when we called her. we have traveled to many islands over the last 15 years and this is the only house that we have stayed in that truly was cooled by the trade winds! I am an A/C gal, and I never once turned it on at tamarind villa. those who know me, know that is saying a lot. my sister and I truly mourned the loss of the feel and sound of that glorious breeze blowing through our rooms at night! the house was also one of the most well stocked houses we have stayed in during our travels. the owners have taken great care to make sure you have what you need for beach time, pool time, and so on. the views of leverick bay from the house are just beautiful and we enjoyed watching the sail boats and yachts come in and out of the bay each morning and evening. it was also so fun that we could hear and enjoy the music and fun going on down at jumbies some nights. we went down to jumbies one evening and it happened that the travel channel was there filming a show about Michael beans the singing pirate. what unexpected fun for us!! we also loved watching the beautiful hummingbirds, bananaquits and the pearly-eyed thrashers that stayed around the house and pool. we were amazed when we put out sugar water as suggested by the owners. the bananaquits just flocked to it. so fun to watch and to video! this was our second visit to beautiful virgin gorda and I don't know if we will get back there again as we have so much more to see and explore, but if we were to go back...we would definitely stay at tamarind villa. thank you so much for the use of your wonderful home! don, tammy and dee"Guest: don and tammy huckabee Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 15, 2015View listing
"We stayed at Coconut Grove with 3 other couples. Tiina met us at the airport and transported our luggage as well as taking us by the grocery on our way in. The house could have accommodated 2 other couples ...5 bedrooms with king beds, 5 bathrooms, day beds in 2 bedrooms, a lovely library area downstairs. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you might need and the washer and dryer made it easy to pack less and still have clean clothing. Inside and outside dining was spacious....we ate most meals outside on the porch. Leverick Bay restaurant, beach, spa and marina are just a short walk from the house. Tiina was very accommodating and helpful with any request we had. Beautiful views , nice pool and not tub. Just perfect in all ways."Guest: Lew Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 26, 2015View listing
"I would highly recommend Villa Alizes'. We loved the house!!! Breathtaking views from the deck and very comfortable and clean. Perfect for 2 couples. Beautiful views of the bay with all the sailboats coming and going and all the Islands of the North Sound. Michael was very attentive to the needs of his guests. We enjoyed all the beaches, especially Spring Bay and Savanah Beach. It's a quick trip down to Leverick Bay Resort for a swin and dinner or a drink. We found everyone to be friendly and enjoyed many of the restaurants. Sugar Cane was one of our favorites."Guest: Jackie & Bob Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 6, 2015View listing
"Greetings all We just returned to the cloudy Pacific Northwest after 6 days staying at Villa Chai Light. We already miss it in more than one way. I will give my comments broken down in categories: Owner Jacky - What a lady! One of sweetest and most accommodating people I have ever met. Her communication from first inquiry to departure was great. When we arrived she had arranged for some grocery items to be in the home and it was just as we asked. We had a brief walk thru of the property and she was on her way. She lives just up the hill. The Villa - Perfect, well appointed, very clean, well maintained and had that perfect beach feel to it. The house is basically two living areas one upstairs and one down. The downstairs has a full kitchen, king size bed, shower, sleeper sofa, wonderful deck and great view. The same goes for upstairs with the addition of a second bedroom with a single bed. The value you get for the money makes this Villa well worth the price! Location - North Sound / next to Leverick Marina - Great location with the marina, restaurants, shops and bars next door. We would just walk down the hill to dinner several nights and anything we needed was in the Pantry down the hill. The Villa is quite private and water front with a nice dock including a deck. The dock will accommodate a dinghy which is great for running around North Sound. The constant parade of boats is a treat to watch. Activities: - next door is the marina, personally feel that a Dinghy rental thru B&B is in order for half of your stay. Andy Bradley next door is great to work with and the dinghy's are perfect to run around the bay on. Our favorite spot was the Sandbox across the bay. Bar, restaurant with good sandwiches and plenty of chairs on a nice private beach. There are plenty of excursions to take advantage of, but plan ahead. Jacky can make suggestions accordingly Must visit places in North Sound: Sandbox, Saba Rock, Bitter End Yacht Club, Leverick Marina. MUST GO eat lunch at Hog Heaven. What a view. Can't describe it! This is a must. For any questions while you are there including arranging rental cars etc you have two contacts. First is Jacky the owner and second is Chudney, who can get you anything you need on VG. He is also the one who most likely will pick you up at the ferry dock. Very punctual person based on several interactions with him and a super nice guy! Now, stop looking, BOOK IT!"Guest: Will M. Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 20, 2015View listing

editor's review
Although you may have grown accustomed with the "www" prefix when it comes to website addresses, they are basically just subdomains, used as a way to pinpoint the path to the actual machine holding the files. Hence, it can be changed with anything else, depending on your preferences and the way you want your website address to look like.
Register new ww2 domains
ww2domains is a software utility that enables you to register new domains over the Internet, using the intuitive ww2 subdomain name. Hence, you are able to redirect your personal web pages through this address, as well as choose from a wide variety of yet unused names. In addition, the application also allows you to open websites registered using the ww2 prefix into your default web browser.
To create a new domain, all you are required to do is enter the desired address, as well as provide the utility with a few details regarding your email, name and the forwarding address to be used with the newly created subdomain. It should be noted that the application allows you to create a free domain for 30 days, but you need to pay for additional time.
View whois information
The whois operation is generally used to retrieve information about Internet domains, such as details regarding the owner and the registration date. ww2domains enables you to perform the query on ww2 addresses and check on whether the domain is in use or not, as well as view the usual details surrounding the forwarding address, availability period and country of origin.
As far as the provided configuration settings, the application does not offer you too many features or functions that can be customized. You can, however, change the web browser used to open the selected pages, by choosing between Opera, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. As you might expect, you can only use those that are installed on your computer.
A lightweight domain manager
All in all, despite the fact that you do not have a wide array of features at your disposal, ww2domains manages to provide an easy-to-use and intuitive interface. In addition, the built-in whois tool makes it even simpler to verifypotential domain names, so you do not have to check with an external service before registering a new one.

In a time when over-the-top celebrity weddings (cough, cough Kim Kardashian & Kanye West cough, cough) seem to be the norm and the pressure of achievi...
If you're going through a rough patch and advice from your friends just isn't cutting it, we've put together 10 of the most raw and relatable celebrity quotes on all things dating and break-ups, so you can feel comforted knowing that even the most glamorous have their days.
Actors Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux got engaged in August of 2012, and their wedding has been much-anticipated by their many fans. However, reports last week revealed the two have been fighting and are now living separately.
Here is our list of some of the most famous and most recent awkward and flat-out embarrassing break-ups to occur in the spotlight. Be thankful this isn't you!
It was only until I stood on the sidelines of a Massachusetts soccer game in a sea of parents styled in mom jeans, sneakers and college sweatshirts, when I began to realize maybe Miami was different from most American cities.
Seen Fifty Shades of Gray? Or catch Oscar host Neil Patrick Harris in his skivvies? (My hand still covers my mouth thinking about it!) If your cheeks are flush, you're halfway to donning one of the hottest hues of the Oscars' red carpet: soft pink tones.
Every year, some of Hollywood's biggest stars get snubbed during the film awards season. This year is no exception. Many believe Jennifer Aniston, Jake Gyllenhaal, Angelina Jolie and others were "robbed" of Academy Awards.
I started blogging at 60. And each year on my birthday, I have posted a new photo. There's two reasons why I share my selfie every year:
The numbers are staggering and there is no cure! Yet, one in five American adults and 300,000 kids in the U.S. are affected by arthritis and battle debilitating chronic pain every day.
On Thursday, January 29th, I scrambled into the U.S. premiere of Canadian writer/director, Lindsay MacKay's independent feature, "Wet Bum." This was my second attempt to see this film as the first one had been full!
It is always inspiring to witness a rare act of transformation, especially when it involves someone we've come to know and admire. This month, that startling moment of truth is on display in movie theaters across America.
She shares a wisdom that precedes her years, yet she's relays it in such a down-to-earth and relatable way. This interview is further proof of that.
Get comfortable with your mouth hanging open, because we guarantee these fabulous rings will inspire some serious envy.
There are even greater, more inexplicable questions surrounding the world of entertainment. These enigmas have never been answered to my satisfaction. Actually, they've never been asked to my satisfaction. Nevertheless, I'm legitimately curious.
I am tired of having my heart broken online. I'm referring to the never-ending barrage of videos, photos and blog posts that permeate my inbox or social media accounts daily, inviting me to click despite the generic warning: "What happens next is heartbreaking."
Central Perk, the coffee shop that was Gunther's home base would be the ideal place to chat with Tyler about his beloved lovesick character who pined and pined for Rachel. But since a real one doesn't exist, it seemed fitting to chat with Tyler at a Central Perk pop-up.

Well no kidding Mr. Bernanke. What makes you think that? Now?
It should be noted that it is very hard to write campaign checks from prison. That is really frowned upon. Outside of the big house however funds can flow to influence peddlers freely. And Obama made it clear who the bankers owed for their "freedom" when he explained to a group of senior banking executives post-acute crisis that the only thing standing between them and the "pitchforks" was him.
So fellas, just so you know. I'm just trying to help you out. I sure would hate it if the Justice Department had to come sniffing around your firm. That'd be a tragedy.
The message was received. Heck, even Corzine is still running around the Hamptons.

Keegan Tierney, Operations Director
Keegan grew up in Vermont and attended the University of Vermont where he earned a Bachelors of Science in Wildlife Biology. When not focusing on his academic pursuits Keegan also served as the director of the University's Alternative Spring Break program, worked various construction jobs, and re-discovered his love for skiing. But, it was his interest in service that led him to the AmeriCorps NCCC program in Denver, Colorado where he worked on a variety of projects including teaching adaptive skiing and educating elementary school students at a historic farm museum. Keegan began work with the VYCC in May 2005 as a Ranger at Elmore State Park. He has since worked at HQ in various roles with the program and operations departments and is now the Operations Director. Keegan lives in Starksboro and when he is not at work you can find him on his skis or in the woods...or both. If not at either of those locations, check to see if he is banging nails on the house he is building with his partner and daughters.

Paul Feenan, Food and Farm Director
Paul was born and grew up in Bennington, Vermont. After studying sustainable agriculture, community development, and education at UVM and Evergreen State College, his real education took place in his own classroom when he was given the opportunity to teach alternative high school right out of college. Teaching is extremely important to Paul. He believes that his work in agriculture, education, and coaching has taught him exponentially more than he has taught his students. In particular, working with disadvantaged students and coaching high school basketball galvanized Paul's core values for working with people. Paul also credits his family. His parents instilled a strong work ethic and the importance of "working hard and smart." His brothers and sisters helped raise him and continue to help with his own children. Most importantly, his wife Kirsten and their children John and Ruby are the foundation and driving force for all of Paul's work. Paul recently moved his family back to Vermont after having lived, worked, and farmed in Western Washington State for the past twenty years. He finds himself lost on roads that he once could navigate without thought, but is happy to be back living and working in his home state.
