Best WooCommerce Waitlist Plugins (Free & Paid)
Operating online stores can turn out to be quite an engaging process, especially when you are providing multiple products to multiple consumers. Take, for instance, a product gets depleted either because it has high demand or it has been purchased in bulk, how will your ever-growing customer base know when you re-stock it? Well, the good news is that you can efficiently manage this using a variety of WooCommerce waitlist plugins.
WooCommerce waitlist plugins come in the form of buttons that can be strategically placed across your eCommerce store, usually through lines of shortcodes. Customers are required to enter their email addresses or other forms of unique identification on the waiting list options. When the product is re-stocked, the system automatically sends them a notification. WooCommerce waitlist plugins build trust between you and your customers, save time and most importantly ensure you make a decent profit from the efforts you put into work.
These plugins come with a range of flexible options, both for you and your consumer. All product types are supported with the ability to track your products just so you know which ones are in high demand. Additionally, you can customize the content of the notification email to bring the best side of your eCommerce store.
Customers can also unsubscribe at any time from receiving the waiting list emails.

Benefits of WooCommerce Waitlist Plugins

Instead of approaching each customer to notify them of available products, this plugin makes it easier for you. With a flexible subscription feature, a consumer gets to know when a product is back in stock, saving both their time and yours.
You as the business owner can also add or remove users anytime from the mailing list as appropriate.
2. Make your business efficient
Most WooCommerce Waitlist plugins give customers a sense of loyalty to the business. It goes far to make them know you have them in mind when running the business. Your business also keeps track of all the products they majorly order as well as the average amount they are willing to spend at different times of the year. These insights are very important to the decision-making process of any business.
3.Create an identity for your business
Through the readily customizable email and notification messages, you can give your customers a side of your business they are not aware of. This ranges from your logos to any additional services which you may be willing to offer, usually in the form of links.

When it comes to ambition, your sign has it in spades!For some people, Cancerian nature can be deceptive. They seem very soft and mothering when you first meet them.
But your sign can be tough, too. Your hard external shell may keep people away from your soft center, but it also acts like armor when you need to rise to the occasion.
Your tenacity helps you get through any challenges in your life. Sometimes, you know you've got this so much that you can laugh off any worries. If people could see you when things are tough, they'd never doubt you again!

Dogs are pack animals. By adopting a dog, you have made him part of your pack or family. In order to lead your dog, you must attain his respect through leadership. Leadership is an attitude, a state of mind. It's not about strength or harshness. Leaders are fair, kind & consistent teachers. Dog training is like a savings account. Time invested now will pay off dividends in years of good companionship. Dogs can sense leadership in a person by observation. Being mostly non-verbal communicators, dogs are good at observing and interpreting the actions of their humans.
1) IS YOUR DOG POLITE? – Your dog loves games and attention from you. Interact with her more, not less. However, "obeying" her demands EVERY time gives the message that she's always in charge. If she is attention seeking, she may try nosing, pawing, or barking at you. Ignore this behavior or ask for another such as a sit. When she is quiet and still, wait 5 – 15 seconds, then reward with attention or play. Teach your dog to "wait" before moving through doors or jumping in a vehicle. People, especially children, always go first.
2) NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE – We must go to work each day to earn a paycheck. Your dog's paycheck is attention from you, play, walks, food, etc. Free feeding or leaving a full bowl of food down at all times, deprives you of an excellent leadership opportunity. Feed your dog twice a day and pick up his bowl after 15 minutes. Ask your dog to sit or do other obedience exercises in exchange for putting his bowl down. Saving some of his food for hand feeding during training exercises will improve your leadership even more. Dogs fed by hand or from a bowl in the hand learn to associate hands with good things. Scheduled meals also help regulate potty breaks. Avoid strenuous exercise after a meal. If your dog spends long periods of time alone, deliver part of his meal in a toy like a "Buster Cube" or Kong so he gets some mental stimulation as he works for his meal.
3) RESTING PLACES – Avoid allowing your dog to go on the furniture or bed. If you allow this behavior, it teaches your dog he is your equal, not your subordinate. Give your dog his own place where he can relax without worry, such as a crate or dog bed.
4) PERSONAL SPACE – Dogs are very aware of personal space. You can use this to move your dog around. Leaning into your dog and making direct eye contact tells your dog to "back off' or return to where I asked you to stay. Looking away, leaning back, or walking away communicates to move toward you.
5) GREETING MANNERS – A knock at the door is great excitement for a dog. Take control of this situation and avoid jumping by teaching your dog to sit and wait at an appropriate location rather than storming the door. A target spot such as a carpet square or dog bed works great for this. Be sure to ask your friends to greet the dog on this location so he begins to associate that spot with good things.
6) PLAYING BY THE RULES – Rule #1 – You start the game. Put toys away until ready to play. Rule #2 – No grabbing. If your dog grabs or leaps for it, say "oops" and hide it behind your back. When he is no longer grabbing, offer it again. Rule #3 – You win most of the time. Winning means you get the toy. At first, you may need to offer an irresistible treat as you say "give." He'll have to drop the toy to eat the treat and you have won. As soon as he devours the treat, throw the ball again or offer the tug. Rule #4 – Use time-outs as needed. If your dog's teeth make contact with your hand, say "oops" and put the toy away for a few minutes. Rule #5 – Supervise children. Very young children should not play tug or ball with a dog until his self-control is impeccable. Always supervise children. Rule #6 – You end the game. You decide when the game is over, not your dog. You control the good stuff.
7) RELAX FOR GROOMING – Your dog needs to learn to tolerate handling of his feet, ears, and body so that you can brush her, bathe her and clean off muddy paws when needed. Do this by gently massaging these areas and giving treats for allowing you to handle them without a fuss.
8) CONSISTENCY – this means every member of the family/pack is consistent with expectations. You can't feed the dog from the table sometimes and expect it not to beg.

Jeanna Giese
Jeanna Giese (born 1989) is the first person known to have survived symptomatic rabies without receiving the rabies vaccine. She is only the sixth person known to have survived rabies after the onset of symptoms; the other survivors suffered from vaccine failures.
Infection with Rabies
In September 2004, Giese, then fifteen years old, picked up a bat that she found in St. Patrick's Church in her hometown of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. She sustained a small bite on her left index finger, and having treated it with hydrogen peroxide, her mother decided to not seek medical attention[1]. Thirty-seven days after the bite Giese developed symptoms of rabies. She was admitted to the hospital with tremors and trouble walking. Her condition continued to deteriorate, and she was referred to the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Doctors there began to suspect rabies, and their diagnosis was confirmed by laboratory tests at the Centers for Disease Control.
Induced Coma Treatment
Rabies had been considered universally fatal in unvaccinated patients after the onset of symptoms (with treatment generally limited to palliative care), but Giese's parents agreed to an experimental treatment proposed by her doctors at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. The doctors used drugs to put Giese into a coma with the aid of ketamine and midazolam. During the following week she was administered phenobarbital (a sedative) and she was given a cocktail of antiviral drugs (ribavirin and amantadine) while waiting for her immune system to produce antibodies to attack the virus. Giese was brought out of the coma after seven days.
After thirty-one days in the hospital, Giese was declared virus-free and removed from isolation. There was some initial concern about the level of brain damage she had suffered, but while she had suffered nerve damage, the disease seemed to have left her cognitive abilities largely intact. She spent several weeks undergoing rehabilitation therapy and was discharged on January 1, 2005. By November 2005 she was able to walk on her own, had returned to school, and had started driving automobiles.
Theories about Survival
The reasons for her survival remain controversial. Giese's doctors knew most rabies deaths were caused by temporary brain dysfunction, not permanent brain damage. They reasoned that if they protected Giese's brain by intentionally putting her into a coma, she would survive long enough for her body to fight off the virus. While the treatment appears to have worked as planned, other rabies researchers suggest Giese might have been infected with a particularly weak form of the virus, or that she might have an unusually strong immune system. The bat that bit Giese was not recovered for testing, and doctors were unable to isolate the virus from her body.
Other Attempts
At least six later attempts to cure symptomatic rabies using a similar medical protocol have been unsuccessful. In May 2006, doctors at the Texas Children's Hospital applied a similar treatment as used on Giese to Zachary Jones, a 16 year-old stricken with symptomatic rabies, but they were unable to save him. From early October to early November of 2006, 10-year old Shannon Carroll was also unsuccessfully treated. This protocol is commonly being referred to as the "'Jeanna Treatment", at the Springs. An article written by her primary care physician in the April 2007 Scientific American calls this the Milwaukee protocol[1]; he indicates that those who attempted to follow this protocol actually violated it, failing to use the combination of drugs he first described.
Life After Rabies
Jeanna Giese returned to school, and with the extra help of teachers, was able to complete her sophomore year with her class. Despite the obvious setback, she kept at the same level as the rest of her classmates. She graduated high school with honors in May 2007. She expressed her intention to become a veterinarian after graduating.[1][2] She is attending Marian College in Fond du Lac.[3] Mayo Clinic neurologist Dr. Kenneth Mack described her condition as she entered college: she's recovered "remarkably well" and should continue to improve.[3]

Karl Ove Knausgaard On Writing Habits, Conversation, and Why They're Both Kind of Dumb
Two excerpts from his new book 'Winter'
Karl Ove Knausgaard's book Winter, which will be published on January 23, is the second in a series of four seasonal books, in which the Norwegian memoirist collects short essays, meditations, and letters to his as-yet-unborn daughter. The subject matter in Winter ranges from toothbrushes to Norse deities to Santa Claus to the moon, but of course it circles back many times to words and writing—Knausgaard's passion and profession. In the following excerpts, Knausgaard talks about his writing habits—not what time he starts work every day, mind you, but what a habit actually is and where our need for them comes from—and discusses the difficulty of interpreting a conversation when all you have to go on is words.
For some reason writers are often asked about their routines and habits, such as what time they get up to write, whether they write by hand or on a computer, whether there is something they can't do without while they are writing. What it is about the writer's role in particular that awakens public interest in their daily lives is hard to say, but there must be something, since this doesn't happen with other comparable professions. Maybe it has to do with the fact that everyone can write and read while at the same time there is something exalted about the role of the writer, and that this gap, which seems incomprehensible, must be bridged. Or it may have to do with the fact that writing is voluntary, and that a person who writes can always refrain from doing so, which is unthinkable in the case of an employee, and therefore obscure or tempting. When I was young I read interviews with writers with avid interest. I wasn't looking for a method, I don't think; what I wanted to find out was rather what it took. A pattern, a common denominator: what makes a writer a writer? Now I know that all writers are amateurs, and that perhaps the only thing they have in common is that they don't know how a novel, a short story or a poem should be written. This fundamental uncertainty creates the need for habits, which are nothing other than a framework, scaffolding around the unpredictable. Children need the same thing, something has to be repeated in their lives, and this can't be something inner, it has to involve external reality, they must know in advance at least some of what is happening around them. That repetition is not innate to us, the way it is to most other beings, but has to be created and maintained by acts of will, is perhaps the main difference between animals and humans. Animals such as dogs who are taken from their natural surroundings and introduced into new settings have nothing to parry unpredictability with, and get caught up in insane repetitions, tics and other compulsive acts. If it is great enough, children react to unpredictability in similar ways. Anxiety, aggression, antisocial behavior. Dante held that we can never understand the actions or feelings of others by reference to our own, as the baser animals can, and that this is why God gave us language. In other words, to make the differences visible, so that they become predictable and functional and enable social relations. But if differences are repeated, they become similarities, that is their own opposite. This makes language treacherous, it serves two masters, and that and no other is the reason literature exists. And that is why only people who are unable to write are able to write it. For if habit is allowed into literature and not kept outside, it is no longer literature, merely still more scaffolding around life.
A great deal of interpersonal communication takes place outside language. If one records a conversation and writes down what was said, it becomes clear how important context is to what is spoken, which in itself is incomplete, characterized by hesitation, lacunae and allusions, and not seldom borders on the meaningless. This is so not only because we employ our whole body to complement our words when we speak, or because in a conversation we are attentive to everything the other bodies convey soundlessly, but because the conversation itself is usually about something quite other than what the words express. A conversation about something that has intrinsic value, where what is said is both important and interesting in itself, occurs so rarely that it clearly isn't the main objective of human intercourse. "It sure is raining outside" is a fairly common statement, and clearly perfectly meaningless since everyone who hears it can see the rain for themselves. "It certainly is" might be the equally meaningless reply. Then there might be a pause before the next statement is uttered. "They say it'll improve a little tomorrow." What this conversation is really about is impossible to determine until we know where and when it took place, who took part in it and what kind of relationship there was between them. If it occurs in a large house the morning after a party, most guests having left to visit the small coastal town nearby, between two people who have chosen to stay and take it easy, maybe read a little, and who don't know each other but are now in the same room, and he is looking out of the window at the shiny wet green lawn and the heavy grey sky, where dense streaks of rain hang like a gently wavering curtain, and she, who was in a chair reading until he entered the room, but has now risen, walked over to the large tiled stove and put a couple of logs into it, and who, as he says that tomorrow's forecast is better, tears off a piece of newspaper and pushes it in beneath the logs, then the exchange of words about the rain might be a way of establishing a shared space, of affirming that though they don't really know each other, they aren't strangers either, since they have common friends and are now here together. In that case they will each soon go their own way, and before long both the conversation and the situation will be permanently forgotten. But if their eyes met several times during the party the evening before, without any words being exchanged, just these crossed glances, then the conversation in the living room, where she is now striking a match against the rough edge of the big matchbox, and he turns to look at her, and she feels his gaze even though she is crouching with her back to him and poking the lit match into the paper, which immediately catches fire and starts to burn with a thin flame, then it might mean something very different. When she tosses the still-lit match into the fire and stands up, unconsciously rubbing her palms up and down along her thighs as she meets his gaze, and he smiles quietly as he cups the hand that is hanging at his side, and she says, "But it's good for the farmers at least," it is turning into a conversation neither of them wants to end, because they are in the process of finding each other through it, and if they do, then perhaps her line "But it's good for the farmers at least" will later become a classic in their personal mythology, when the first time they met has been turned into a story they remind each other and perhaps also the children of once in a while, to strengthen the bonds that ineluctably weaken over time, and conversations that on paper look flat finally carry no other charge, expressing only indifference.

Good morning, ladies. We're currently day dreaming about those abs and that V on sexy actor Christian Keyes. His film, "Perfect Combination" from Tri Destined Studios is set to be released on DVD tomorrow. Impatient as we are, we wanted to get a sneak preview.
You're welcome.
In "Perfect Combination," Christian plays a bachelor looking for love who, prompted by his friends, joins a dating service.
"I have a lot in common with my character," Christian admits," I want to settle down."
We caught up with Christian as he was wrapping another project with Meagan Good, Stacey Dash, Tatyana Ali, Terrell Owens, Jose Sanchez and Roger White called "Dysfunctional Friends."
"I've been singing since I was nine and writing songs since I was twelve," says Christian, who admits music was his first love.
Christian says he enjoyed the single life when he was younger, but now he's looking for the one.
"I'm grown now. I'd like to be married or pretty close to it in a couple of years."
"I've always known where my blessings come from," Christian says. "I just think as I start to climb in my career and as a person that I want to hold on to my spirituality and just make it a huge part of me."
"I'm a single dad. I have an amazing son," the actor says of his seven-year-old, Christian, "He was my date to the 'Perfect Combination' premiere."
"I love being an actor dad," Christian says. "It's something positive that he can be proud of."
"I like a female version of me," the sexy actor told us of who he's looking for. "I need a woman who has a sense of spirituality and somebody with a sense of humor. I'm silly. I like to laugh a lot."
A few examples of how Christian can make his lady feel good:"Flowers every week, a lot of quality time, dinners," and more.
"I took a massage class and I went and got a professional massage table," Christian told us. "So I can give a real massage." We'd like to book an appointment.
"I want my Michelle Obama," Christian says. "I definitely prefer African American women. I think it's important for Black women to know that they are ultimately what I'm looking for."
Christian says his woman doesn't have to bring him the moon to show him she cares.
"I don't expect her to do anything unrealistic, just some kind of effort back is nice. I love pasta, so she can make me a nice dinner or something."
"I think it's sexy when a woman can teach me something," Christian says of what turns him on. "Also, I like surprises. If my girl went out to get a special little outfit for me and I came home and she had it on, to me that's hot."
When it comes to cuddling and showing love, Christian's not one to act hard. "I don't mind public displays of affection," he admits.
We'd like to hold on to this sexy single man some more. We'll have to settle for the next best thing.
Follow Christian on Twitter at www.twitter.com/christiankeyes and learn more about him on his Web site, www.christiankeyes.com.
Or, if you're feeling lucky, enter to win a date with the sexy actor at www.perfectcombinationmovie.com

This weekend Facebook shut down some applications that were found by the WSJ to have been sharing Facebook User IDs (a unique profile identifier Facebook uses in its APIs) to independent ad networks and internet tracking services such as RapLeaf.
According to the Journal, these UID transferal issues were the primary reason Facebook took down apps run by the social gaming company LOLApps on Friday, including its popular flagship "Critter Island." Two days later, according to a freshly minted blogpost, all LOLApps games are now officially back on the social site.
From the LOLApps blog:
"It has been a big weekend in the news for privacy and Facebook applications. As tonight's Facebook developer blog post states, 'In most cases, developers did not intend to pass this information, but did so because of the technical details of how browsers work." This statement applies to Lolapps.
When we were informed of the issue the relationship that put us into this category was immediately dissolved. Since Lolapps was founded in 2008, we have always been committed to Facebook's platform policies and will continue to be as we grow."
While Zynga heavy hitters like "Farmville" and "Texas Hold 'Em" poker were also on the WSJ list, they did not experience similar service disruptions. LOLApps would not comment on whether it has actually corrected the issue in order to get reinstated onto the Facebook platform.
The severity and risks of UID transferral are still being debated.

1. (US, New England) An accumulation of small items of little value.
"Cultch is the New England word for that clutter of partly worn-out or obsolete objects that always gathers…there's everything there- old bolts, old wrought-iron cut nails, bits of unrelated metal, old wood, wiping rags, coffee cans, broken hacksaw blades, a divorced work glove or two, parts of a dog team harness…it's a mess, but it's better to have this one big mess in the corner of the kitchen than a patina of messiness spread all over the house."Louise Dickinson Rich, We Took to the Woods, 1942
In September, Beacon Gallery welcomes the work of Sofia Plater as well as that of Ari Hauben and Sam Belisle for "Lost & Found"
One of the showstoppers (at least in this writer's opinion!) is Plater's Cultch installation piece.
This room-size installation is on view at the enclosed area at the back of the gallery. We are delighted to feature such an exceptional and original piece of artwork, and one with such layered roots and meanings, relevant both to New England and our time in history.
The Cultch is made up of pieces spanning the 19th through the 21st century, and is an installation of found objects integrated with Plater's unique textural artwork. It's truly a meditation on our throwaway culture and ways in which objects we may ignore or discard can be turned into artwork.

The age of autonomous travel is closer to becoming a reality after more and more local governments rubber-stamp robotaxi projects.While the sector has attracted industry heavyweights such as Baidu and Didi, it is Pony.ai, an AV startup based in Guangzhou, leading the pack domestically. The firm even rivals Google-backed Waymo in its achievements.
The backstory: Tech unicorn Pony.ai became China's first company to test out robotaxis on urban public roads about one year ago, and is now on track to expand its fleet to 100 vehicles by the year-end.
- Similar to Google's self-driving car unit Waymo, Pony.ai's fully self-developed software algorithms allow for Level 4 autonomy, where a car is capable of perceiving its surroundings accurately, predicting what others will do, and maneuvering itself accordingly.
- The company raised $70 million in a Pre-B Series led by Chinese gaming company Kunlun with support from existing investors.
- Founded in late 2016 by former Baidu scientists James Peng and Lou Tiancheng, Pony.ai is headquartered in Fremont, California and the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, with an R&D center in Beijing.
Unique selling point: Pony.ai is the top-performing Chinese player in terms of self-driving tests on open roads in California, a key global test ground. The company has racked up an average self-drive distance (before a human driver took control) of 1,022.3 miles . This figure is nearly five times that of Baidu.
- It ranked fifth among the 48 global players in the annual disengagement report from California's Department of Motor Vehicles last year, following Waymo, GM's self-driving unit Cruise, and California-based startups Zoox and Nuro.
"The focus of work at this stage is still to improve the stability and expandability of the autonomous driving system under the premise of ensuring safety, and to gradually expand the driverless fleet from 100 to thousands. This year, companies that only operate a few cars for demos find it very difficult to survive. The cautiousness and concentration of capital has a great positive impact on the development of an industry.
—Pony.ai spokesperson, speaking to TechNode
The investors: As China's most valuable AV startup, Pony.ai has secured the backing of top venture firms, including Sequoia Capital China and Legend Capital.
- It has secured over $300 million in funding over four rounds, with a valuation of $1.7 billion, the highest among its Chinese counterparts.
Present condition: Although its self-driving fleet is only available to a limited pool of volunteers in Guangzhou, Pony.ai is trying to lay a more solid foundation for a public commercial launch. A specific timeline has yet to emerge.
- Pony.ai last month unveiled an L4 autonomous prototype vehicle based on Aion LX, an all-electric SUV model launched by GAC Group, part of a cooperation with the southern China's biggest automaker.
- It also teamed up with Toyota in August to explore diverse mobility services. The company declined to comment on if the collaboration is related to the Chinese market.
- The company last December launched PonyPilot, a test project with a product-ready driverless fleet that enables users to hail a car at any point via an app within a 100-square-kilometer geofenced area of Guangzhou's Nansha district.
- Pony.ai has also received the backing of the Guangzhou Transportation Bureau, which issues AV testing licenses for robotaxis, as well as authorities in Nansha. The company enjoys "24-hour access to all roads within the area," Xie Xiaohui, head of Nansha's Commerce Bureau told CCTV.
"The technical level of Pony.ai as well as WeRide rank among the top smart connected car firms in the world. They are also some of the highest-ranked autonomous driving players in China. Guangzhou welcomes domestic and foreign AV companies to carry out testing work, and the relevant departments of the city will actively provide services."
—Guangzhou Transportation Bureau spokesperson, speaking to TechNode
The landscape: Local governments are ramping up efforts to lure AV unicorns for the imminent introduction of driverless vehicles.
- Ride-hailing giant Didi and Dongfeng-backed AutoX have announced plans to launch autonomous taxi services in Shanghai by the year-end.
- WeRide, another Guangzhou-based self-driving startup, aims to kick off real-world operations in the city by next year with a partnership with Baiyun Taxi, the biggest taxi operator in southern China.
Prospects: Pony.ai is focused on providing consistently comfortable and reliable rides for all rather than monetizing these early technologies. The company told TechNode in August that it has amassed a wealth of testing scenarios in just one year, a feat that took Waymo 10 years to create, thanks to the variable road situations and complex tropical weather conditions.
- Waymo has signed up over 1,000 customers for its ride-hailing service in a 100-square-meter area in Phoenix, Bloomberg reported in May. Pony.ai has provided its services to more than 40,000 orders in Beijing and Guangzhou so far.
Correction: This story has been corrected to reflect that Pony.ai has provided its services to more than 40,000 orders, not passengers, as was originally written in the last paragraph.

Writing & Rhetoric Book 6: Commonplace Package
|Item #:
Product Description:
A one-stop shop! This package includes everything needed (student and teacher book) to complete Writing & Rhetoric Book 6: Commonplace, a one-semester course, PLUS the optional Audio Files featuring readings of any fables, narratives, legends, myths, and other excerpts presented in the student book. The MP3 audio files add flexibility and can enhance understanding, allowing students to listen or follow along with text, but please note that teacher interaction and discussion is still needed. Upon purchase, the access code and instructions for MP3 files will be emailed to you. The included Student Text (059533) is consumable, so if you have 2 students you will need to purchase another. The included Teacher Edition (059534) is intended to be used in conjunction with the student book and includes a copy of student material with teaching notes, explanations, answer keys, helpful guidance and examples for every assignment. ~Nancie
This package includes the following items:
This course introduces six-paragraph essays, supporting a thesis statement, arguments for/against, and inventing soliloquies to support an argument.
What! Another writing program? It's easy to imagine such a question popping up since we do have a number of excellent writing programs already available. This one, however, is a worthy addition. First of all, it follows the classical model for teaching writing (and rhetoric) skills. What exactly does that mean? It means a program that is, in essence, a step-by-step apprenticeship in the art of writing and rhetoric. It's a program that believes that imitation is the foundation for learning writing and at the same time provides an easy-to-use framework for starting with models of good writing, building a "conversation in the head" (in other words, content through discussion and writing exercises), and for following the persuasive writing system developed by the ancient Romans. This system - the progymnasmata (progym, for short) - takes the student from simple retelling skills through the more and more complex skills of reporting, narrating, praising, comparison, persuasion, and defense. Modern writing borrows heavily from these skills, but the underlying methodology is distinctly different. Modern writing courses emphasize mastering the writing process and gaining experience with the different forms of writing. Accordingly, they often start with a blank sheet of paper and a brainstorming session. The progym, on the other hand, starts with well-known and excellent writing models (also known as classic literature).
Secondly, this program is user-friendly with virtually no teacher prep needed and the possibility of a minimum of teacher-student interaction (although interaction is always a plus). The publisher is the same one who has given us Latin for Children and Latin Alive! They know how to do user-friendly (and appealing). Even if you had no inkling of the meaning of a classical writing program, this would be an excellent choice. The Student Books provide instruction and examples with plenty of space to write. The Teacher Books have identical pages to the student books but add grey boxes which provide additional info, writing samples, answers and talking points. The two books are designed to be used together, and I think it would be unwise and difficult to try to use one without the other. Packages are available for most levels.
The lessons follow a pattern. The teacher reads through the text followed by a subsequent reading by the student (in upper levels, the student reads through the text examples). Narration (Tell It Back), discussion (Talk About It), and comprehension (Go Deeper) are all part of this initial look at the source material. Then starts the writing exercises (Write & Discuss). To give you an example of these, from one lesson in Book 2, copywork, dictation, sentence play, copiousness (using synonyms), and amplification (rewriting). Later in the lesson there is a time for reading/presenting the lesson's written work and separate Speak It exercises. It's suggested that this writing series would alternate with a grammar program (although no recommendations are made).
Each book is a semester's worth of writing instruction, with a total of twelve books planned. In a perfect world, a student would start in 3rd grade and complete the series in 8th grade. If your world isn't quite perfect, this series could be started anytime up to 5th or even 6th grade (in my opinion). Students beginning this program should know how to identify and create a complete sentence. It is possible to enter the program at upper levels but requires careful evaluation of the student's writing experience and the scope of the level. Some familiarity with the Progym series would also be helpful. You may wonder how this series interfaces with Common Core. The publishers note that their program "covers a host of these standards." But they further note that "while these goals are worthwhile, the Progym derive their strength from the incremental and thorough development of each form of writing. The Writing & Rhetoric series does not skip from form to form and leave the others behind, but rather builds a solid foundation of mastery by blending the forms."
Optional MP3 audio files are available. These feature Dr. Christopher Perrin, his wife, Christine Perrin and/or others, reading the fables, myths, historical narratives and other source material used in the books aloud, to either add an auditory dynamic to your lesson or help auditory learners enhance their understanding of the material. ~ Janice
These materials offer complete coverage of both writing and grammar.

It is important to have a whole-house water softener.
But what happens you are out exploring, and you need soft water? Do you need to bring enough soft water from home? You do not have to carry soft water from home, and neither do you have to let hard water destroy your RV parts – you can install an on-the-go water softener in your RV.
Soft water has many benefits at home and on your RV. These include:
- Reduce the buildup of scale
- Reduced formation of rust stains
- Reduced water spots
- Makes your skin supple and reduces dryness
- Lathers fast with soap
- Lengthens the life of appliances
- Eliminates bad odor and improves the taste of drinking water
With all the above benefits, you save money. You will not need to buy bottled water, you will use just enough soap, and you will not spend a lot of money replacing appliances – this is how you save money while out camping in your RV.
Portable water softeners come in all sizes and a wide range of features. Some water softeners are handheld and only soften a small amount of water at a time – these do not work well in your RV. The best water softeners for your RV work almost the same as the water softeners in your home in terms of capacity and functionality. Some of the features you will enjoy in these water softeners include:
- Fast regeneration
- Compact, easy to install and use
- Standard unit with up to 8,000-grain capacity (some have a higher capacity to meet all needs)
- Space-saving design for use even in small RVs
- High flow rates with little or no pressure drop
- Inlet flow control
- Comes with high-grade premium capacity resin
- Large-mouth opening
- Cap and plug for storage
Water softening means removing calcium and magnesium (among other cations) from hard water and replacing that with sodium from salt. However, some units are salt-less and will not replace the cations with sodium.
What Makes Water Hard?
The calcium and magnesium in water make it hard – these two are the hardness minerals. Rainwater is free from these hardness minerals, but once it falls on the ground and finds its way to rivers and streams, it collects these minerals. The minerals are not harmful to your health – the body needs these two minerals, albeit in trace amounts. Nevertheless, they alter the properties of water and its effectiveness in cleaning.
Water hardness measures the concentration of calcium and magnesium. However, other minerals such as iron, manganese, and aluminum might be present in hard water. With a water softener in your RV when you are exploring, you will enjoy soft water with no need to bring gallons of soft water from home.
The hardness of water is measured in grains per gallon (GPG) or parts per million (PPM). Soft waterfalls between 0 and 3 GPG; moderately hard water at 3 to 7 GPG; hard water at 7 to 11 GPG; and tough water at 11 or higher GPG.
More than 85 percent of Americans have hard water in their homes [1]. As such, when you are exploring, you will need an RV with a water softener already installed. This will make it easy for you to clean, you will get clean and tasteful drinking water, and you will protect appliances in your RV (especially water heaters).
Selecting a Portable Water Softener for Your RV
Before you set out for camp, you need to install a quality water softener in your RV – this will make exploration much enjoyable. There are many factors to consider, as outlined below:
- Capacity and Size: A standard water softener for RV has a capacity of 8,000 grains and weighs about 18 pounds. A larger softener has a capacity of 16,000 grains and weighs about 30 pounds.
- Exchange Resin: Only go for water softeners with high-grade premium resin – note that color does not indicate the quality of the resin.
- Easy access regeneration: For a water softener to work, you need to keep adding salt – this is called regeneration. A large-mouth opening makes it easy for you to refill the salt.
- Accessories: A good portable water softener needs a carrying handle, inlet flow control, storage/transportation adapters to limit water spillage, and a sturdy base.
As an explorer, a portable water softener in your RV will help you avoid rust buildup, prevent soap scum, keep your skin moist, and reduce water spots on surfaces in your RV. You can help the water softener by adding a water filter to make your water safer for drinking. However, a water filter is only ideal for small volumes of water. With a water softener, the pipes and appliances in your RV will never clog or develop stains – this translates to less maintenance and repairs.
There are many benefits of soft water at home and on-the-road. Even if you have bottled water for drinking, you will still need soft water for cleaning and to protect surfaces in your RV.

The Great Andy Williams sings Born Free:
Today is also the Prah & Constantine Review. This month we're introducing a new member to our Review Team:
Empi Baryeh. ***Welcome Empi***
**Now we offer 3 Book Reviews**
Lord Edward Winborne has been happy to come to the aid of his four sisters in the past. But when a neighbor's daughter, Lady Honor Baxendale, requests his help for a dangerous scheme she has in mind, he feels it his duty to dissuade her. When that fails, he wants to protect her, and then somehow finds he wants to do more. Much more.
AMAZON LINK:http://www.amazon.com/Lady-Honors-Debt-Baxendale-Sisters-ebook/dp/B00QQ623XY/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1426772233&sr=1-1&keywords=lady+honor%27s+debt
Cathrina's Review:
I should read historical romance more often. I love it. The author Maggie Anderson pens a historical romance like a true expert. I was brought back to the 1800's with ease and clarity. Ms. Anderson paints a vivid picture and places the reader in that time period.
Lady Honor's Debt is a sweet novella of a woman, Lady Honor trying to help her family claim money from an unscrupulous gambler who swindled her deceased father. If you've read the blurb, then you know Lady Honor employs the help of the handsome Lord Edward. The attraction is instant although, neither Lady Honor nor Lord Edward are looking for a relationship.
The tale spins with sweetness and honor and totally sizzles by the time the reader turns the last page.
If you enjoy Historical Romance, I definitely recommend Lady Honor's Debt!
