We know that eventually the Sun will become a red giant. What then will the Sun look like?
In about 4.5 to 5 billion years the sun will swell and become a red giant star; this happens as the star runs out of hydrogen to fuse for energy and turns to material that's harder to fuse. This means the balance between gravity and the expansive force caused by this nuclear fusion starts to become unbalanced and the sun will swell. It will then go through a phase of expansion and contraction where it expels its outer layers leaving behind a planetary nebula.
The Sun is very active: images show it to be a swirling, seething place;
The Sun is made from seven different layers;
At the centre is the core, this is where nuclear fusion occurs.
Next there is the radiative zone which "radiates" the energy created in the core by the emission and reabsorption of photons.
Then comes the convection zone; light particles (and all other particles) can take 170,000 years to travel through this layer. The behaviour of photons here is called the "random walk" where the photon collides with other photons: this happens as it is such a dense region.
Next is the photosphere this is the first of the three parts that make up the Sun's atmosphere: this is where photons are finally emitted and give the sun its brightness. Oddly enough this area is opaque to light, meaning we can't see trough it. If we could we would be able to view the thermonuclear core directly!
The transfer of energy from the convection zone below appears in the form of granules (see the photo above). As the hotter gas rises up, the cooler gas descends only to be re-heated by the convection layer and the process repeats itself. Sometimes disturbances in the magnetic field will produce sunspots, which occur within the photoshphere.
The chromosphere is next; the temperature ranges from 4400K at the base to 25 000K at its outer edge; no-one knows why the temperature rises so dramatically as it goes away from the surface of the Sun, it's possible magnetism may be involved but it remains a puzzle.
Finally we have the corona. This outer layer is very dim – a million times dimmer than the photosphere and is the hottest region of the Sun at 10^6 K. Because the Corona extends several million kilometres into space, there is a lot of room for molecules to move. It is this movement that is the source of the solar winds. The high temperature of the Corona can force ions to move as fast as a million kilometres per hour. We can only see the corona during total solar eclipses when the disc of the sun is totally obscured.
It seems that when the Sun does begin to enter its final phases of existence it will still be quite an active place; Astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have for the first time directly observed granulation patterns on the surface of a star outside the Solar System — the ageing red giant π1 Gruis. It is located 530 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Grus (The Crane), π1 Gruis is a cool red giant. It has about the same mass as our Sun, but is 700 times larger and several thousand times as bright.
The image below from the PIONIER instrument reveals the convective cells that make up the surface of this huge star, which has 700 times the diameter of the Sun. Each cell covers more than a quarter of the star's diameter and measures about 120 million kilometres across.
Just one of these granules would extend from the Sun past Venus. The surfaces (photospheres) of many giant stars are obscured by dust, which hinders observations. However, in the case of π1 Gruis, although dust is present it is far from the star so it does not have a significant effect on the new infrared observations.
The Sun's photosphere, in comparison, contains about two million convective cells, with typical diameters of just 1500 kilometres. The vast size differences in the convective cells of these two stars can be explained in part by their varying surface gravities. π1 Gruis is just 1.5 times the mass of the Sun but much larger, resulting in a much lower surface gravity and just a few, extremely large, granules.
While stars more massive than eight solar masses end their lives in dramatic supernovae explosions, less massive stars like this one – and our Sun – gradually expel their outer layers, resulting in beautiful planetary nebulae. Previous studies of π1 Gruis found a shell of material 0.9 light-years away from the central star, thought to have been ejected around 20 000 years ago. This relatively short period in a star's life lasts just a few tens of thousands of years – compared to the overall lifetime of several billion – and these observations reveal a new method for probing this fleeting red giant phase.
So it seems there will be a lot to observe on the Sun even as it enters its old age.
PIONIER or the Precision Integrated-Optics Near-infrared Imaging ExpeRiment is an instrument on the Interferometer of the Very Large Telescope. Interferometry is the process of collecting beams of light and combining them together to extract more information and greater resolution from the object being observed. PIONIER can collect up to six beams of light making it incredibly sensitive.
Julien Milli, ESO astronomer at Paranal gives this musical analogy: "the object represents the complete song, and each baseline represents one of the notes that make up the piece. The more baselines we have, the more notes we have, and the more complete our version of the song is."
Another highlight of PIONIER is its spectral coverage. Adding to the information obtained. For example "…this helps us to characterise the warm dust around a star, providing relevant insights on the formation process," says Julien Milli.
By using two or more light beams, an interference pattern can be formed with these beams. Because the wavelength of the visible light is very short, small changes in the differences in the optical paths (distance travelled) between the two beams can be detected (as these differences will produce noticeable changes in the interference pattern) meaning more information can be extracted from the light. (This technique is also used in Radio Astronomy.)
How does PIONIER work? It is an interferometer, so once the light reaches the instrument, it is sent across an optical circuit, smaller than a credit card, which brings the light waves from up to four different telescopes together in a very precise way so that they create an interference pattern. An interference pattern consists of fringes, i.e. alternative dark and bright stripes with a given contrast between them, so the final result is not a conventional image.
There's a lot of engineering goes into Astronomy!

After all the countless years of drama, Van Halen finally managed to hold on to a lead singer long enough to release a new full-length studio album. This would be a full blown reunion, if not for the absence of former bassist, Michael Anthony. In his place, is Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie's son.
One of the most unpleasant trends in directing, especially in music footage, is the tendency of directors to show what they want the viewers to see, instead of actually capturing what is going on.

As you can imagine, a great deal of the questions aimed at Mike Holmgren during his weekly press conference were about Koren Robinson, and we will get into some of that. But I'll cover nuts and bolts first.
The team released Jason Babin in order to make room for WR Keary Colbert. Holmgren said they are keeping two kickers because they like Coutu very much and don't want to lose him. Colbert will be wearing #13, Koren will be wearing #18 (his old number reversed).
Holmgren said he does not envision using both Mare and Coutu even though both are on the roster, unless Mare starts struggling for some reason.
Sean Locklear will begin practicing this week, though I didn't get the impression from Holmgren that he expected him to play. Holmgren said Ray Willis still needed to get his reps in. Bobby Engram is out. Deion Branch will practice but will not play.
Holmgren said he did not know yet how the receivers will be rotated, though he did say they will all get time. He said he is going to force Colbert and Koren in the game even if they are not ready because he needs experienced players playing. He said Koren also could be used as a kick returner. Bumpus will be doing the punt returning.
Holmgren said they did not have the luxury of signing a practice squad QB because they need legs more than arms for practice.
Walter Jones will not practice as much this week because of a sore hip/lower back, but he is expected to play.
Holmgren said he biggest concerns regarding the Rams are their offensive skill players (Bulger, Holt, Jackson), their willingness to blitz the Seahawks liberally last year and the sense of urgency St. Louis has because both teams are winless and feel a sense of desperation.
Regarding Koren: Holmgren said he felt in a way that he failed Koren the last time he was here. He said he is not going to apologize for the way he handled Koren, and while some people may feel like he did not handle it properly and should have cut him loose, those people did not know all the facts. He said Koren was never a locker room cancer and his teammates all liked him. He said he handled Koren the way he would have handled his own children, and he is not going to change the way he parents/coaches/teaches.
He said Koren has a pretty good memory of the system, but he is not in game shape yet. He said he hopes to get him close to game shape this week. He said he will have to wait to see how well things go in practice this week before determining how much each new player will play and what their role will be.
Regarding Colbert, he said he has some knowledge of the system because Mike Shanahan uses some of the same stuff that was shared in San Francisco. How much he knows, Holmgren did not know.
Oh yeah, Holmgren also talked a little about Josh Brown. He said he was surprised that Brown left because Holmgren got personally involved in the negotiations and he felt like they had reached some sort of accord. The money, Holmgren said, was not that much different. If, as Brown said, his feelings were hurt because of some of the things that were said in negotiations, he could understand that -- though it is not always fair because agents don't always disclose exactly what is said but disclose what they want their clients to hear.

Last Chance For Simulated Greatness: Legends In Concert At Foxwoods
By CHRISTOPHER ARNOTT and Special To The Courant
August 28, 2014
Elvis is leaving the building. The summer stint of the faux-celebrity spectacle Legends in Concert at Foxwoods Casino in Ledyard ends Aug. 31. This latest line-up has included impersonations of Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash, old wobble-hips Elvis Presley and two still-living Legends, Tina Turner and Adele. The singers perform before a live orchestra, with special lighting effects, theatrical sets, projections and other elements that make the legends seem larger than life. At best, it's "an incredible simulation," as they used to say about Beatlemania.

Not Unique To Ledyard
Letter to the editor
August 27, 2014
In the "Our Towns" special section on Aug. 24, a distinctive aspect listed for Ledyard is that it "was covered by a continental ice sheet during the last ice age. " That is not a unique attribute. Every town in Connecticut was under that ice mass when the ice edge was at Long Island. A noteworthy glacial aspect for Ledyard is the belt of boulders, the Ledyard Moraine, formed during the retreat of the ice edge. I also note poor little Columbia in the same section -- the only town with just two attributes listed.

VA Accountability Needed
Letter to the editor
June 13, 2014
Currently people are expressing discontent at the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system for not appropriately serving veterans. I believe people's complaints result from a more fundamental problem -- there is no easy, clear communication channel through which people can attempt to resolve issues and through which executives can be held accountable. I point to the VA website. No where can one easily find departments and contact references (phone, email, snail mail) responsible for activities that take place within the VA. There should be listings for every level of the VA. Cost is insignificant when published online and its existence might greatly diminish the frustration that I am hearing expressed all over the country.

text: I just realized (after many months of not paying attention) that we do not have a 'homebrew' subsection for each of the GBA and NDS categories. Each section does have an "Game Development, ROM Hacking and Translations" area which contains a description to discuss homebrew. However, I feel that this is out of place for an issue that is forever expanding and should not be linked to Rom Hacking or Translations. I propose that new sections are added to each of the GBA and NDS areas. The new section should be "Homebrew" with 2 sub categories "Applications" and "Games." Allowing people to finally have an area to promote their homebrew, and ask questions about homebrew (how it works, problems, issues, updates, etc). This in turn would better organize a sub category that is currently misplaced and disorganized throughout GBATemp. Currently there is an NDS Homebrew Announcement thread over at GBADev. This area is used in the way I have described above. It works very well, allowing people get their questions answered and options heard, while keeping their thoughts to one section of the forum. Having something similar here would better promote GBATemp and add an important additional feature to this vast community of help and information. Something to consider and I hope further discussed in this thread. -Another World

300 disposable cameras record crisis worldwide
Three hundred disposable cameras will soon be going around the world. Sent from Maastricht (Netherlands) by Indra Moonen (28). The photographer aims to show a first-hand view of the current worldwide economic crisis.
For her 'Disposable Crisis Project', Moonen is sending 300 cameras around the globe -only charging shipping costs at EUR17,10 a piece- and asking the people to take pictures of their 'personal' economic crisis.
"After use, the cameras will hopefully be sent back to Maastricht. It's my goal to publish the results in a book: a visual representation of the crisis, worldwide. There has been much to read on the crisis, but it mostly concerns stock options and skyrocketing bonuses that eventually are being paid either way. This of course has little relevance to the day-to-day lives of the general population. So, what are the real effects of the crisis on people's lives? Thát is what I want to capture", says Moonen.
Using various social media like Facebook and Twitter, and via her personal website, Moonen is asking people if they are willing to participate in the project. "Everybody who receives a camera is meant to take five pictures themselves and then pass the camera on to a somebody else in the neighborhood. When it's full, it has to return here."
76 cameras have already been distributed, from local Riemst to Vancouver, Canada. "I hope this project will show a diverse and complete view of the crisis."
By the middle of 2013 the book on the real faces of the worldwide crisis is expected to be finished.

20th September 2018
Costings and registration times tbc
Price is per person
This is an 18+ event so please bring ID
One of Carnival's most loved events. Hundreds enter and thousands watch. Teams in groups of 3 or more decorate their wheelbarrow and push a team member around the village, stopping at each pub to drink a pint of liquid. It sounds strange but it's something you need to see to believe. Wheelbarrows are decorated beyond recognition with big sound systems, lights and fancy looking attachments. The imagination of the participants is just fantastic.
I've never entered before, what do i do?
Once you have managed to gather up your team members (this can be more difficult that the actual event) you then head on over to the Bouverie Hall on the day of the event to register. You will pay and enter your team name and collect your team number sticker You will then move round the hall and sign a disclaimer form to say that you are entering at your own risk. Once your team have signed you will be given wristbands to put on. Each team member will have a different colour representing the corresponding drink stop. That's it for registering and you can go get ready for the event, or just go straight to the gathering point if you've left it to the last min.
It's hard to miss the gathering point as all you will see are decorated wheelbarrows and lots of excited happy people ready to go. If you do happen to somehow walk out of the hall and go completely the wrong way it's in the carpark and down to the post office.
At 7:30pm you will start to see lots of frantic people in fluorescent jackets shouting at you and pointing. What they are trying to do is to get you all into a nice neat line so you can all be paraded through the high street to the start. This gives the spectators a chance to see your lovely work and take pictures of you.
Once at the start you will be moved into position and set off in groups. If you are unsure of the route just follow everyone else. Most are veterans and should know the way by now. Along the way you will come across tables with a sign stating which colour stop they are. Your team member with the same colour will need to go up, show your number and collect a drink. Drink this drink and then move on to the next stop. Some stops will be tables, some will be tables outside of pubs and some will be inside the pub. Just follow the masses and you can't go wrong.
Useful tips to survive the event
You will be going through a stretch of river and under a bridge so make sure that anything that you don't want soaked with water is removed prior to getting in the river.
Once registered give all valuables to a nice friend who is way more responsible than you and will look after said items.
Don't lose nice friend who is responsible and has all your valuables.
If you're not good at sewing just invest in a glue gun. Those things can stick fabric to fabric and its water proof.
Carry a roll of duct tape as things will fall off your wheelbarrow.
Have fun and chat to people. It's the easiest time of the year to chat to the locals as 90% of them are entering and in the same boat as you.

ERISA-Tenth Circuit Holds That The Inadequacy Of A 402(f) Notice Was Not Egregious, So Employees Could Not Recover Subsidies Lost In Plan Coversion
In Jensen v. Solvay Chemical, Inc., No. 11-8092 (10th Cir. 2013), the defendant, Solvay Chemical, Inc. ("Solvay"), converted its defined benefit pension plan into a so-called "cash balance" plan. This coversion eliminated certain popular early retirement subsidies. Employees brought this suit, seeking restoration of the lost early retirement benefits, based on an inadequate 204(h) notice that Solvay had provided about the conversion (the inadequacy arising from the notice's failure to, among other things, properly describe what early retirement subsidies already existed under the pre-existing defined benefit plan) .
In analyzing the case, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals (the "Circuit Court") noted that employees may recover amounts based on an inadequate 204(h) notice only if the inadequacy is "egregious". The Circuit Court said that there are two applicable definitions under § 204(h) . First, a notice's inadequacy will be "egregious" if the inadequacy was "within [the employer's] control" and was "intentional ". Second, the notice's inadequacy is "egregious" if the inadequacy was "within [the employer's] control" and the employer failed "to promptly provide the required notice or information after [it] discover[ed] an unintentional failure to meet the requirements of" § 204(h)".
The district court found that the notice's inadequacy was not egregious under either of these meanings. Far from intentionally failing to disclose information on early-retirement benefits, the district court found that "Solvay did its best to comply with" § 204(h). The district court further found that "the earliest time Solvay discovered its failure was after the filing of this case" and that the company "sought the advice of its ERISA counsel to ensure it remained compliant" as soon as it discovered the problem. Since it found that the notice's inadequacy was not egregious, the district court ruled that the employees could not recover the lost subsidies. The employees appeal. The Circuit Court concluded that the district court had not made a clear error, and as such, the Circuit Court affirmed the district court's ruling.

According to Dr. Patel, many of the diseases are caused by inflammation in the gut. It seems there are few things that cause the inflammation.
Dr. Patel says that one of the reasons for inflammation is due to food allergies. It seems many people eat shellfish and slip into coma. There are people who face breathing problem after consuming peanuts because it closes the throat.
The second factor that Dr. Patel refers to is hidden allergies. This type of allergy causes damage when certain foods are consumed for long periods of time.
It seems allergy leads to inflammation in the intestines which in turn causes inflammation in the gut and buildup of trillions of bacteria. According to Dr. Patel the problem of leaky gut is one of the major reasons for many chronic health problems.
Reverse my disease today guide provides you all the details to identify food allergies so that you know the foods to avoid and thus prevent inflammation in the gut.
What Are Some Of The Important Things You Will Learn From The Diseaseless Program?

Reverse My Disease Today Conclusions
Ken Drew and Dr. Patel are providing an information guide that helps to improve your health by correcting inflammation in the body using simple and natural methods.

Happy New Year everyone! The final Comedian of the Month chosen for 2016 is Jordan Brookes, who came to my attention when he was named one of of the 'Top Ten Ones To Watch in 2017' by an expert panel consisting of Beyond The Joke's Bruce Dessau, Bob Slayer and Corrie McGuire. He even appeared alongside two MoodyComedy favourites: Stuart Goldsmith and Adam Hess.
Jordan Brookes reminds me of many of the people I knew at school. He is competent and clearly knowledgeable yet in an unobtrusive way, endearing himself to audiences almost without effort. Jordan utilises sarcasm and drudgery, which stand in contrast against the awkwardness that accompanies him onstage. And this comedian is strangely self-assured, despite audiences being perhaps inclined to assume he is an anxious character based on first impressions.
Often bordering on performance art, Jordan Brookes' comedy starts small and develops with ease into something broader and more conceptual, such as his failed-time-travel skit. He is confident and artistically unafraid; a truly thoughtful comic with a calm air about him that reassures audiences that he knows what he is doing.
Jordan Brookes' 2016 show 'The Making Of…' is now available on the new comedy streaming site NextUp, which is a site definitely worth signing up to at only £3.50 a month for unlimited access to stand up comedy content.
For more information, follow Jordan Brookes on Twitter.

"And if one can overpower him who is alone,
two can resist him.
A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart."
Ecclesiastes 4:12
I started this day by getting up early enough to get Riley to the airport sometime before seven in the morning, as he went to Florida for the week to give a presentation and attend seminars. I had wanted to go along, but I couldn't get a babysitter. But as it turned out the weather in Orlando was not at all good this week, so it's good I didn't spend any money to go there. Riley doesn't seem to like Florida and he said he'd much rather spend the money on going to Paris. Sounds like a great idea to me!
So today is Christian's 12th birthday. I started out by measuring him on the kitchen wall. I had measured him in June, and today he is two inches taller than he was in June. Then I asked him if he would like waffles or pancakes for breakfast. He chose waffles, so I went to the basement to find a waffle mix. I could only find a very healthy one, but he was fine with that, and Emily was delighted with an opportunity to cook.
Christian enjoyed his birthday waffles, and when he was done we all got in the car and took him to school.
Somehow Emily and I got terribly distracted before getting back home. I can't remember the details, but I think we went to Goodwill after going through the Starbucks drive-thru. And we also needed to go to the store for steak and green beans and whipping cream. We had a lot of fun, but when we got back I knew I needed to get going.
Menu for Christian's birthday dinner:
barbecued Chateaubriand
oven baked French fries
garlicky sauteed fresh green beans
green salad
French bread
chocolate birthday cake
First we started the bread. Emily again got a chance to practice her bread making skills.
We got the bread dough under control and then I put Emily in her chair with some toast and turned on Max and Ruby and for reasons she didn't make clear she covered her head with a tea towel and settled in. I then got the cake going.
I was doing my best to catch up with things, but by the time for dinner I felt really behind, but the girls all showed up and pitched in to help me. I got the steak marinated and Heidi took over the job of getting the coals going and cooking it. She did a really terrific job there.
Sarah topped and tailed the green beans and got them on to cook. They turned out lovely. I love fresh green beans.
As for the French fries, Tiah peel the potatoes and Corey got a pot of cold water for me. I cut the potatoes into strips. Then Tiah and Annie got out the big pan for baking the fries and put olive oil on it. Then as a group we all got the potatoes coated in oil and lined up. Then Annie and Corey watch the potatoes, and Corey and I got them turned. Corey was the one watching them in the end. They turned out fabulous!
Corey also made the salad, because she did not want to eat the beans. We used the salad dressing that I made earlier.
Luckily the bread co-operated and was nicely done on time, and it turned out very delicious. I added an egg to the dough.
It turned out to be a lovely dinner. And I forgot to mention the guests - me, Heidi, Annie, Corey, Sarah, Tiah, Christian, Caleb, and Emily. We were of course lacking Riley and Zac, the first being in Florida, and the last being at a wrestling meet.
Christian enjoying his birthday dinner.
The cake gave me a few fits trying to come together. I think that the problem was that the cake does not totally lend itself to being cut in half, and tended to spread. In the end Corey got the cake frosted and decorated for me, and it turned great.

March 29, 2017 05:30 ET
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwired - Mar 29, 2017) - Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX: GTG) (NASDAQ: GENE) ("Company"), a molecular diagnostics company focused on cancer risk assessment, announced today an agreement with Dale Coyne Racing driver Ms. Pippa Mann to promote BREVAGenplus®, the Company's first-in-class, clinically validated risk assessment test for sporadic breast cancer. The partnership is reflective of the Company's continuation of its U.S. focused marketing program for BREVAGenplus, with Mann serving for a second consecutive term as the product's ambassador and spokesperson. Mann is one of only nine female athletes to ever compete in the "Indy 500" and the only female driver to start in the race over the past four consecutive years. In addition to her role with Genetic Technologies, Mann is partnering with Susan G. Komen®, the world's largest breast cancer organisation, which funds more breast cancer research than any other non-profit, outside of the U.S. government, while providing screening, education, treatment and psychosocial support programs. In 2016, Mann was honoured as one of Komen's More Than Pink™ heroes in support of the organisations Bold Goal - to reduce the current number of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. by half, by 2026.
"We are excited to continue this outstanding partnership with Pippa. She is truly dedicated to leveraging her platform as a world-class athlete to impact women's health and shares our passion for the integral role BREVAGenplus can play as a breast cancer risk assessment and preventative treatment management tool," commented Eutillio Buccilli, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Genetic Technologies.
Key partnership activities this year will include the BREVAGenplus logo represented on Mann's #63 Dale Coyne Racing car and promotional apparel. Mann will also participate at select BREVAGenplus oriented events and other promotional activities over the course of 2017. The 101st running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 28, 2017 will serve as the official launch of this year's partnership program. The "Indy 500" is the largest single day sporting event in the world and offers important promotional opportunities during the month long lead-up to the race, which includes 12 days of on-track activities and hospitality event participation.
"I'm thrilled to welcome back Genetic Technologies as a partner with Dale Coyne Racing and proud to represent the BREVAGenplus brand. I'm excited to do my part in helping women and healthcare providers learn about the test, and highlight how important it can be in determining individual breast healthcare plans and personal medical maintenance," commented Pippa Mann.

Jacqui Smith apologises over TV porn affairApril 5th, 2009 - 4:26 pm ICT by ANI
London, April 5, (ANI): British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has apologised following the humiliating admission that she claimed taxpayer-funded allowances for the cost of two porn films watched by her husband.
The 46-year-old has been fighting to salvage her credibility and future political career at a time when she is already under investigation by the Parliamentary watchdog for claiming the share in the house she rents from her sister as her "main residence".
"I was angry and mortified that I had done it, that we had done it," The Telegraph quoted her as saying.
"I thought that was the wrong thing to do and that's why what we immediately did was apologise and pay the money back.
"It should never have got within a million miles of an expenses claim. That's why I've apologised for it," she added.
Jacqui further slammed reports that her marriage to Richard Timney was on the rocks as a result of the row.
She added: "We've got a strong relationship both personally and professionally - in terms of the work he does in my constituency office. And it's still strong now."
The adult films were viewed at 11.18pm on April 1 and 11.19pm on April 6, at her family home while Jacqui was staying in London. (ANI)

By Joseph E. Trimble
Distinguished University Professor
Department of Psychology and the Woodring College of Education
It is my distinct pleasure and honor to introduce this year's Innovative Teaching Showcase presenters: Garth Amundson, Professor in the Department of Art, Joseph E. Garcia, Bowman Distinguished Professor of Leadership Studies & Director of the Karen W. Morse Institute for Leadership, and Ann Stone, Lecturer in the Department of Finance and Marketing. You will learn that they firmly believe that they are truly connected to their academic interests and their students in their courses. According to the theory of social networks, behaviors of individuals are best understood in social contexts and relationships; that is, according to the prominent physicist- mathematician Albert-Laszlo Barabasi of Northeastern University, "Networks are present everywhere … because everything is connected to everything else." Social network researchers maintain that we should:
Network analysts study relationships in contexts and how the patterns of interactions influence behavior and social change. Educators such as Garth, Joe, and Ann understand these network principles and effectively apply them in their teaching and relationships with students and colleagues.
Along with countless other faculty here at Western, indeed Garth, Joe, and Ann approach teaching as an educational partnership, with students as partners in the exploration and study of the topic. In the classroom they encourage and nurture the partnership, rather than promoting an educational setting where knowledge, defined as the accumulation of facts, figures, and discrete skills, is objectified and externalized. An educational partnership for them means that the partners are connected to the topic of inquiry and to each other as they experience the exploration of information. They view the partnership as a collaborative relationship set in an experiential atmosphere of openness where attention to the experience and sensitivity of others is emphasized. Thoughts and feelings are treated with mutual respect as partners explore knowledge and values. By encouraging independence while providing suitable structure, they expect and encourage students to participate in their holistic educational growth and development.
As a psychologist, I am keenly aware of the fact that everyone is hardwired to connect with others. Allan Shore of the UCLA School of Medicine once stated: "The idea is that we are born to form attachments, that our brains are physically wired to develop in tandem with another's through emotional communication, beginning before words are spoken." With this overarching principle in mind, you will learn that Garth, Joe, and Ann organize their seminars and classes to build on our fundamental need to connect with others. To accomplish a "connections" teaching objective, student experiences can be organized for them to participate in a series of activities and projects that emphasize their strengths as well as the importance of working with others in small group settings.
At one time or another all of us have had students who sat alone in the corner of the room, spoke only when queried and often hesitantly, were the first to leave the room when class ended, and preferred being alone seemingly excluding classmates from their inner circles. A few are problematic and troublesome but most of the "loners" pose few problems or challenges.
Creating a relational and correspondent learning atmosphere in the classroom can promote student engagement. In my numerous years of teaching and educational experiences I have come to realize that the "loner" wants to engage with the instructor, connect with some classmates, and, most important, connect and resonate with the course theme and emphasis. Typically, most "loners" don't know how to connect and sustain interpersonal relationships; however, we can create engaging classroom experiences by designing and promoting learning activities that foster a creative, supportive environment complete with positive proactive outcomes. Assigning students to the activities and experiences begins by recognizing and acknowledging their strengths. When placed in small group activities, for example, student strengths should complement one another to the extent that group outcomes depend on mutual collaboration. It has been my experience that "loners" will eventually realize they can connect in a positive supportive environment with encouragement and support from the instructor.
The three professors featured in this year's Innovative Teaching Showcase exemplify what it means to frame their courses to maintain and sustain the connectedness of their students. They are leading the way to show us how to build an educational system that will create the deep understanding and critical thinking required for understanding and valuing our connectedness and relationship to all that matters.
Professor Garth Amundson embraces peer learning as an essential ingredient in a collaborative multi-disciplinary classroom experience. Having a strong connection to his profession is one of the most valuable attributes he can provide his students. Using his experience as a backdrop, he strives to encourage students in all aspects of their academic and professional development. He encourages them to submit their work to competitions and have their work considered by other professionals.
As evident in his course syllabi and materials, Garth Amundson strongly believes that there is a contractual agreement between professor and student. He points out a successful syllabus needs to have a well-stated sense of purpose, a defined sense of direction and clear expectations. It needs to include more than a calendar and reading list; it must act as a schedule and support the goals of the course. Professor Amundson insists that, "while the syllabus is a crucial tool, it must remain flexible so that it can adapt to the organic nature of the classroom, as indicated in all my course syllabi. The syllabus should not be the enemy of the course--being bound to the minutia of the syllabus can be detrimental to the fluidity of the classroom."
Joseph Garcia offers two courses in leadership studies; LDST 101 and 450 are both offered through the Karen W. Morse Institute for Leadership here at Western Washington University. The connectedness of his students and faculty in the courses comes through in his belief that each party in the classroom should be treated with respect for subject matter expertise and experiences. Continuing, he maintains that, the topic of "leadership is not about a position, or a formal title. It is about the connections between people, individuals who may be called leaders and followers. Through these connections, individuals, groups, organizations and societies are able find their way towards achieving their dreams. In my view, this orientation towards leadership is captured by the words of the Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu some 2500 years ago when he said, 'Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. The best of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accomplished, the people will say we have done it ourselves.'"
The overall design of the leadership curriculum is based on the principle that there is an accumulated body of knowledge about leadership and leadership inquiry that should be the core learning material for the courses. Surrounding this core are the professor, the students, and the professionals who engage with each other and the material from their different perspectives. The professor is a subject matter expert, the students are novice learners at different levels, and the professionals have practical experience that in their respective roles facilitate learning about leadership theory and practice. In his efforts to connect and engage young students, Professor Garcia reminds us some lack of student engagement is not an uncommon occurrence in first year courses as some are still finding their way as first year students. In summary, Professor Garcia points out that his leadership courses have generated positive results beyond the immediate course outcomes. The centerpiece for the course is his learning model that "is helpful in guiding decisions about curriculum development and delivery. As organized, it keeps knowledge, in the broadest sense, at the core of the process and the people, professor, students and professionals as members of a learning community who engage in dialog about the course content."
The course for which Ann Stone had the most opportunity for crafting is Marketing: Branding. This course works within her own personal strength of practical experience in the branding field, giving her confidence about the topic as well as strong perspectives about how branding skills are utilized in work environments.
In keeping with the "connectedness" theme of this year's Showcase, Ann maintains that courses should be framed following specific learning experiences to include:
In those settings she looks for the "creatives" because she realizes that there is much for students to learn in the role of creative as they work in small group settings. Ann points out that, "A world in which the 'salons' of old are recreated as learning experiences seems a realistic goal for class time of the future. Whether led by students or facilitated by me, class conversations challenging ideas and pulling them together is the very best use of physical presence class time. The trick is to have enough students who have done the work ahead of time to insure adequate knowledge to have meaningful conversations; hence, my passion for learning more ways to make that happen."

I have been doing aerial (think Cirque du Soleil) for about 5 months now. I met an amazing group of people through the class I joined to learn aerial techniques. Recently, they opened up a kid's class, and I was excited to maybe have my kids share this fun art with me. It took a lot(…)
