The Indie Rock Coloring Book by CH Contributor
by Julie Wolfson
Already on a roll with their t-shirts that raise money for good causes, Yellow Bird Project's recently-launched whimsical Indie Rock Coloring Book offers kids, and the music fans that care for them, many pages of fun and games.
From the psychedelic cover of a hand drawing an explosion of instruments and swirls topped with a bird head to the 31 pages of coloring and games, the book tempts kids to start playing and even singing along. Each page features a drawing by U.K.-based musician and illustrator Andy J. Miller and celebrates some of indie rocks favorite bands. The first pages offer a chance to color in a Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! carnival and to find all of the birds in Devendra Banhart's beard.
Keep turning to find the faces of Rilo Kiley with instructions to draw in each band member's current hairstyle. For the Holly Throsby there is a word search with the lyrics to "Making a Fire". Miller also drew his impression of Andrew Bird whistling and a maze that challenges Broken Social Scene to reunite. As Matt Berninger from The National says, "This is the greatest coloring book since coloring was invented. I've decided to have kids just so I'll have somebody to give this book to."
The book raises money for several of the causes that Yellow Bird Project supports. As Rilo Kiley's Pierre de Reeder writes in the foreward the book is, "a great example of how you can turn your love for music and art into something that can really help."
Pick up a copy from Yellow Bird or Amazon.

If you've ever eaten a chocolate bar, you've probably eaten a Kit Kat. The four-fingered bar is one of the world's most popular treats and in 2014 was named the "most influential" candy bar of all time by TIME Magazine. Over the years, Kit Kats have been produced in over 200 flavors, from the standard milk chocolate to Japanese-created oddities like ginger ale, soy sauce and sake. The candy even had a version of the Android operating system (v4.4) named after it.
But no matter how familiar you are with Kit Kats, there's something about the filling that you might have wondered about. In between the layers of wafer, there's a different type of chocolate. It's lighter in color, and has a much softer, more crumbly texture than the hard chocolate on the outside. That's because it's not actually chocolate; it's mashed up Kit Kats.
You see, not every chocolate bar is created perfectly. When they roll off the production line, quality assurance technicians remove the Kit Kats that have too many exterior air bubbles, off-center wafers, or any other imperfections, right down to those that simply aren't shiny enough. As far as the manufacturers are concerned, consumers don't want imperfect chocolate bars. But rather than being thrown away, those second-class bars are recycled back into the production process.
After being ground up into a fine paste, they form the filling you find between the Kit Kat's wafers. In many ways, it's a stroke of genius—no edible Kit Kat is wasted!

If you're looking for independent reviews of home and garden products, you're in the right place.
View the recent posts below or select a category you're interested in from the menu at the top.
This site is dedicated to bringing you detailed information and reviews about the latest garden DIY products, so you can make a better buying decision.
Here you will find the latest, independent and honest reviews of a range of products for the home and garden. We are not directly associated with any company, but we do get a commission if you click through to a seller's site and buy a product from them. Without this we couldn't keep the site running.
Simply browse through the categories from the menu or have a look at the highest rated products or latest posts all listed on this page.
I have been using power tools for many years now and as each year passes the products that are produced continue to improve. For example, more recent developments such as the telescopic and long reach petrol hedge trimmers have really helped home based gardening enthusiasts manage their hedgerows more easily. Gone are the days where you need to hire a professional to do the job.
We are also seeing a reduction in price for multi function tools, such as those machines which have multiple attachments. You now have the option to buy a tool which cuts your hedge, trims your grass, saws through branches and blows away the leaves.
Some of the most recent and interesting developments are the rise in popularity of cordless electric machines. Companies such as GTech and Dyson are leading the way in this field. Personally, I love them. They're quiet, powerful and portable. You can easily vacuum your car and home without the need for an extension lead. This is definitely the direction that power tools are heading.

To see an animated version of this procedure, click Procedure InMotion .
Lumpectomy is the removal of part of the breast. It is considered a breast-conserving surgery.
Lumpectomy may be combined with a procedure to sample lymph nodes in the area (axillary dissection or sentinel node biopsy ).
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is done to treat breast cancer .
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Accumulation of blood in the wound
- Accumulation of clear fluid in the wound
- Lymphedema—swelling of the arm caused by accumulation of fluid in lymph nodes
- Infection
- Numbness of the nipple or underarm skin
- Change in the size and/or shape of the breast
- Blood clots
- Reaction to anesthesia
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Obesity
- Poor nutrition
- Smoking
- Recent or long-term illness
- Use of certain medications
- Characteristics of the tumor to be removed
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Physical exam
- Mammogram
- Fine needle biopsy to test the breast tissue for cancer
- Blood and urine tests
- Wire-localization procedure—if the tumor was visible on mammogram, but is not able to be felt, the doctor will use a wire to mark the tumor
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
Do not eat or drink anything for 8-12 hours before surgery, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
General anesthesia —you will be asleep during the procedure
Description of Procedure
A small cut will be made in the breast. The tumor will be cut out, along with some of the surrounding tissue. Another incision near the armpit may be made so that lymph nodes can be removed. The nipple and areola will not be removed. Plastic tubes for drainage may be inserted. The incisions will be closed with stitches.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Immediately After Procedure
Right after the procedure, you will be in a recovery room where your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing will be monitored. Recovery may also include:
- Pain medications
- Antibiotics to prevent infection
- Medication to prevent blood clots
Removed tissue will be examined. The findings may determine if any further surgery is needed. If you had cancer and it has spread, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy may be needed.
How Long Will It Take?
About 1-3 hours
Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during the procedure. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Postoperative Care
The breast may change in size or shape after lumpectomy. There may be local skin discoloration from dye used to localize lymph nodes for biopsy. The dye may also discolor your urine for a short time after surgery.
Self-care measures and medications will help ease discomfort. Activity may be restricted for up to 1 month, but complete rest is not necessary. The care staff will help you with exercises to help maintain arm strength and prevent lymphedema. To prevent infection at the incision site, follow instructions on how to clean and care for the wound.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications, such as:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- If you have drains, report any problems that your doctor has discussed with you
- Oozing or discharge from nipples on either breast
- A lump, redness, or swelling in either breast
- If lymph nodes were removed: redness, warmth, swelling, stiffness, or hardness in the arm or hand
- Persistent nausea and/or vomiting
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you've been given
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs
- Symptoms of depression that last at least 2 weeks or longer
- New or unexpected symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Beyond a solid knowledge in using various security features of .NET and ASP.NET, even for experienced programmers it is essential to have a deep knowledge in Web-related vulnerabilities both on server and client side along with the consequences of the various risks. In this course the general web-based vulnerabilities are demonstrated through presenting the relevant attacks, while the recommended coding techniques and mitigation methods are explained in the context of ASP.NET. A special focus is given to client-side security tackling security issues of JavaScript, Ajax and HTML5.
The course also deals with the security architecture and components of the .NET framework, including code- and role based access control, permission declaration and checking mechanisms and the transparency model. A brief introduction to the foundations of cryptography provides a common practical baseline for understanding the purpose and the operation of various algorithms, based on which the course presents the cryptographic features that can be used in .NET.
Introduction of different security bugs follows the well-established vulnerability categories, tackling input validation, security features, error handling, time- and state-related problems, the group of general code quality issues, and a special section on ASP.NET-specific vulnerabilities. These topics are concluded with an overview on testing tools that can be used to automatically reveal some of the learnt bugs.

Anita Lopez is a force of nature — a very, very strong woman.
The question is whether this is what the city needs.
For there is moral force and there is blunt force. Gravity is a natural force that grounds us; a hurricane is a natural force that brings chaos.
The young Carty Finkbeiner was, to many, a wild force. He grew.
Ms. Lopez came to The Blade to meet with this newspaper's editorial board yesterday. She makes a compelling case that she has been a good manager as county auditor. She says she has streamlined the office and that everyone who works for her is expected to bring his "A-game."
She also makes the case that Mayor Mike Bell lives in an ivory tower and has lost touch with the struggling people of this city. Ms. Lopez's supporters say she has overcome much to build her life. She came up the hard way and supports her mother and father as well as her children.
And, as she puts it, neighborhood block watch meetings will always come before fund-raising galas with her. There are no neighborhoods in the city where she is uncomfortable or afraid.
She believes in open government. She has made the auditor's office transparent, and she pledges to release the city's gang map to this newspaper. She freely confesses that she doesn't much like the press, but journalistic scrutiny makes her a better candidate and gives the democratic process oxygen.
But one wonders, at times, whether Ms. Lopez has a full grasp of her own talking points and their implications.
She says homicides have doubled under Mayor Bell, which is untrue.
She'd like to engage in wholesale replacement of the city's top level employees, which, particularly as the candidate of organized labor, she ought to know, is not possible. She wants the police chief to, once she is elected, quickly get on board with her plans or face removal. She has to know that it would be very hard to remove Chief Derrick Diggs. Finally, she says she is dissatisfied with the development of the Marina District. She says that she would try to get it back into city hands, sooner or later, even if she had to pay $3.8 million to do so. And who would develop it then? Local business, she says.
This is an odd and risky stand. Granted, nothing may be happening at the marina district. Or the Chinese may still be fully engaged, and the mayor may be quietly cultivating the deal. The public never quite knows what the mayor is doing. Ms. Lopez is right about that. But what is her alternative?
Similarly, Ms. Lopez has finally settled on the number of police officers the city should have: 700. Where will she get the money? She will seek federal dollars. Has she read any stories about the Congress lately? Good luck with that.
Ms. Lopez has been rapped for being overly prepped and protected.
Maybe there is a good reason. When unplugged, she is a bit reckless.
Is she an iron lady or not quite ready for prime time? Is she Maggie Thatcher or Sarah Palin? The campaign will tell us. That's what campaigns are for.

Thomas Awiapo: Celebrating Life and an Unknown Birth Date
Currently, I am on a speaking tour in the U.S. and enjoying every bit of it … except persecution by the snow. I met a little boy, a fourth grader who was celebrating his birthday. He graciously offered me a slice of his birthday cake which was yummy. Out of curiosity, I asked the little boy how old he was. To my utmost surprise, he said, "I will be 10 years in 10 minutes". The boy knew his date of birth even to the minute. It must feel good to know and celebrate your birthday.
One of the questions I get asked a lot when I speak to school children in the US is, "How old are you?" I visited Holy Spirit High school in the Northeast region to speak to an all school assembly of 750 students. One of the numerous and good questions I was asked was, "How old are you?" My answer is, I don't know exactly how old I am though I very much wish I did. I explained to the questioner that I was born not in a hospital, my parents could neither read nor write and no records were documented. It's been impossible to find out my actual date of birth.
A follow up question from another student was, "if you don't know your date of birth, then what do you celebrate for birthday?" My answer was, "I celebrate life." I am simply happy and grateful to God to be alive and everyday and every moment is my birthday. I know it must feel good to know and celebrate your birthday every year but I don't know mine and it is ok with me. The good news is I get to make up a date of birth for myself, but the problem is that I always forget it and have to check for it in my passport.
At the end of my presentation, one of the students asked for permission from the principal of the school to sing Happy Birthday for me given my story of not knowing my birthday. The whole student body including faculty and staff broke into song—Happy birthday to you… What a beautiful song and a great gift that was for me! It brought tears of joy to my eyes.

Thanks for sharing this touching story Thomas. I felt sad when I first read that you didn't know your birthday. I like how you've turned that into a gift each day to celebrate. A toast to you!

Hi Thomas! My sons were fortunate to hear you speak at their school, Mater Dei, in Bethesda, Maryland not long ago. Patrick and 4 of his friends had a birthday party and invited the entire 5th grade class. These boys (Patrick, Peter, Luke, Charlie and Riley) were inspired to collect donations to CRS in lieu of receiving birthday gifts. They wanted you to know how much your visit meant to them – and their classmates! Thanks for your visit, and please advise how best to co-ordinate their gift to CRS.

Dear Thomas,
I heard your moving story at Holy Family Parish in Newark, Delaware through a workshop presented by our Diocesan Parish Social Ministry. Following that day I corresponded with you via email.
My friends, Tom and Sarah Flood of St. Anthony Parish, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, will be visiting Wa, a town about 30 mi. SE of Kalsegra in the NW section of Ghana from 8-17-to 8-31, 2010. Their newly built church in their sister parish, St. Anthony'sof Wa will be consecrated while they are there. Please welcome them in my name if you are near Wa during that time. They are so happy to be preparing for this time with the people of Wa. Thank you and know my prayers are with you and your family each day.
Love and blessings to you and yours,
Sister Catherine

We went through the whole process and everything was fine.....but at the last minute they said they wanted my hubby to have more time on the job. He was at his current company for 9 months..... And his previous employer for 2.5 years, same line of work. So fast forward to now...almost a year later and in a better position financially, both our scores went up....they were at 640ish.
I really find it hard to believe that with $20,000 down we will not qualify because of a STUPID $67 collection from 3 years ago. That's just crap!!!!!!!!
So 3 days before closing, they denied it because your husband's job history? That seems insane, didn't they already know his job history when you started the loan process?
Was it a scheduled closing date...like you had "clear to close" and then it got denied, or it was just a date that was put on a the sales contract by the realtor at the beginning when you signed the sales contract?
Here is the info about the collection that came on my report: Thank you for looking into this!

See that line where is says
Terms 1 Month
That is ILLEGAL!!
Fire out disputes targeting that. You can't have a term on a collection.
It will go away.
SERIOUSLY???? It's that easy???
So what do I say in the dispute? Exactly what you wrote? That it's illegal to have a term on a collection? If so... you are one AMAZING person and I'd owe you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I do the dispute AND send them a GW letter? Will the agency know that I tried to dispute it? I'm wondering if I dispute it and then it does not get removed if the collection agency will be "mad" and not help me at all.
I'm new to this so excuse my ignorance.
Dear Sir or Madam,
This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate credit information on my report #xxxx. Because of the mistakes on my credit report, I was wrongfully denied credit recently for a home loan. My social security number is xxxxx and my current address is listed above. My last address was xxxxx. My contact number is xxxxx.
The following information is incorrect and therefore needs to be corrected or deleted from the report as soon as possible:
ENHANCED RECOVERY CO L (Account Number):

The poetics of nature vs. grace dominate Malick's latest opus
By T.T.Stern-Enzi
The film starts off with a bit of Scripture (Job 38:4, 7), which asks, "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation … while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"
Where were we, indeed, that is the question that Terrence Malick's latest, The Tree of Life, dares to pose and better yet seeks to answer, but neither the question nor the answer matter much in the overall scheme of things. The effort is the point and purpose of the exercise, the meaning of life itself.
Malick sees us caught in the eternal struggle between the brutality of nature and the grace of spirituality and the ongoing battle rages internally in our hearts and minds. Young Jack O'Brien (Hunter McCracken) understands the dual sides of this conflict because he has representations in his parents. His father (Brad Pitt) is a harsh man, a man's man of the 1950s who wants to teach his sons to follow in his footsteps and become men like him, strivers who control their lives, provide for their families and want for nothing. Yet, Jack also sees in his mother (Jessica Chastain) the innate goodness, the naïveté of a life captured in the light of grace and wonder. That she is loving and largely submissive marks her as a woman of her day and age, but no less a figure of transcendent understanding.
The adult Jack (Sean Penn) wanders through a world of glass and steel, the glorification of the clean and cold eyes and sensibilities of men and women who have achieved status and success in the world. It is what his father wanted for him, but Jack realizes he has lost sight of the other side and maybe lost the war for his own soul.
The Tree of Life breaks up these two elemental points in Jack's life with an excursion back to the beginning, the very beginning, in fact, before life on the planet, prior to the point at which the earth's foundation was laid and surveys the journey forward to provide a poetic grounding or an internal consciousness. And it is thanks to this section that the film evolves into a prayer or meditation, again without an answer. There is the combustible union of God and evolution, the male and the female, nature in its green glory and the pristine beauty of modern architecture.
This is Malick doing what he has always done, not a radical departure. He has always shown us the world and all forms of its beauty; he has always questioned the idea of nature and God and the brutality in the world. Badlands let the killer run free for a time and here in Life, young Jack, when his father is away, succumbs to the temptations of his baser urges and is frightened by this potential when it is unleashed.
It could be argued that performances are incidental in Malick's work. So often we hear the stories of actors excited to work with the master only to realize that most of their work lies on the floor of the editing bay. Likely that is what happened to Penn here. He wanders through a few landscapes and mumbles largely to himself. But, then again, somehow, against the odds, Pitt proves able to not only hold the screen, but he comes to embody the force of nature that the film seeks to define. He is the swinging fist, the rough hug, the demanding presence that we want to appease and just maybe, he is the perfect stand-in for the mercurial Malick himself.

Jay-Z will play three homecoming concerts in his native New York to officially open his Brooklyn Nets basketball team's new arena this September (12).
The rap icon and team co-owner will launch the Barclays Center in Brooklyn with a big gig on 28 September (12), followed by two additional shows on 29 and 30 September (12).
Venue chief executive Brett Yormark says, "Jay-Z is Brooklyn and is the definitive artist to open Barclays Center.
"We are thrilled that such an iconic world-class entertainer, not to mention a Brooklynite, will take the borough's biggest stage on three consecutive nights for what will surely be a historic experience for all fans."
And the hip-hop star is making sure fans from across the board will have the chance to attend - more than 7,000 tickets for the 19,000-seat arena will be priced at less than $30 for each date.
The team currently known as the New Jersey Nets will be renamed when they relocate to the Barclays Center in the Big Apple in time for the NBA's 2012/13 season.

trait in The Sims 3. It conflicts with Coward and Loser. It's first available at birth.
Brave Sims are fearless individuals that will fight fires, wrangle burglars and work to protect those around them.
Advantages and disadvantagesEdit
Sims are never scared and if there's a fire, they will put it out. They also deal with burglars. With a Human or Vampire, it can be useful when exploring tombs as they won't be scared by bugs and never get the "Fear" moodlet. They won't be scared by Ghosts and Vampires (Which vampires cause the Hunted Moodlet). This trait is useful for Military, Law Enforcement, Firefighter and Ghost Hunter Careers. Simbots always start with this trait and have the above effects like Humans and Vampires do. As SimBots start with Brave, players should be wary of humans or vampires with Coward or Loser since these traits conflict with Brave.
If Supernatural is installed, Brave Sims will confront vampires and "Accuse (them) of Being a Vampire" which is a Mean interaction, leading to an automatic confession which can and will anger a Brave Sim who also has the Supernatural Skeptic trait, or otherwise lead to the Brave Sim "Feeling Awkward".
- A Brave Sim will never panic, even in emergencies (unless there's an earthquake). If there is a fire they will put it out rather than panic, allowing them to handle it more easily. They also will autonomously put out other Sims who are on fire, and will autonomously look for a nearby shower if they are set on fire themselves.
- The Sim has the "Fight" interaction available when a burglar appears, allowing them to fight and chase the burglar away without needing to rely on the police.
- The Sim can do better than others in the Military, Law Enforcement and Firefighter careers.
- Brave Sims have a higher chance of winning fights, much like Evil and Mean Spirited Sims.
- Brave Sims can sometimes have the unique option to allow the player make the Brave Sim pressure their bosses into giving them raises while at work. This only becomes successful if the Brave Sim has a high job performance metric.

These cupcakes are super easy and quick to make. Perfect for a last minute homemade Halloween treat!! All you need is cupcakes, white icing, and some candy corn (or any small candy for the eyes.)
The cupcakes in the picture are chocolate and cherry chip. For the mummy wrap, just pipe on plain white icing in strips, leaving a slit for the eyes. I used candy corn for the eyes by cutting off the fattest stripe and inserting the pointy part into the cupcake. The leftover candy corn makes a perfect tray garnish.
Hope you all get to have a fun Halloween!!

NEW YORK — Republican Mitt Romney is trying to shift the focus of the presidential campaign away from anti-American violence overseas and back to the economy, accusing President Barack Obama of ignoring Chinese trade violations and pointing to a new Federal Reserve effort to bolster the economy as evidence of Obama's weak policies.
Obama, campaigning in the aftermath of the death of four Americans at a consulate in Libya, is playing up his role as commander in chief, vowing that "no act of terror will go unpunished."
Following a quick fundraising trip to New York, Romney was headed Friday to Ohio, which has been essential to any Republican seeking the White House. Obama carried the perennial battleground state in 2008, but it remains in the toss-up category and could again play a pivotal role in the election.
Obama returned to Washington late Thursday after a two-day trip to Nevada and Colorado and planned to wrap himself in Olympic glory on Friday, meeting with members of the U.S. Olympics and Paralympics teams at the White House. Romney has reminded voters of his work leading the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics out of financial turmoil, while Obama has embraced the all-American images of the Olympics team, cheering on their success during rallies last month.
In a Virginia suburb of Washington, Romney returned to his emphasis on the economy, promising to crack down on China. His campaign released a new television ad claiming that China has outpaced the United States in new manufacturing jobs since Obama took office.
The White House responded, saying that all of the actions the administration has initiated at the World Trade Organization to rein in China have been successful. Obama's campaign said Obama has brought as many cases challenging China trade policies in 3 1/2 years as former President George W. Bush did in eight.
Romney also seized on the Fed's new attempt to jumpstart the economy, saying it showed that Obama's economic agenda has not succeeded. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke outlined plans to spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgage bonds and keep short-term interest rates at record lows through mid-2015 as a way to revitalize a slow-growing economy with an unemployment rate of 8.1 percent.
"What Bernanke's doing is saying that what the president's saying is wrong," Romney said in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America." "The president's saying the economy's making progress, coming back. Bernanke's saying, 'No, it's not. I've got to print more money."
Following the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, Obama said in Golden, Colo., that his administration would do "whatever is necessary to protect all Americans who are serving abroad. He vowed that "those who killed our fellow Americans" will be brought to justice.
Romney spent his Thursday evening raising cash in the wealthy neighborhoods of Long Island, N.Y., first at the home of hedge fund manager Lee Ainslie, and then at the home of Robert Rosenthal, chairman of an investment banking firm. He was to have another fundraiser in New York on Friday morning before heading to Ohio. Romney's campaign had no immediate details on his cash haul from the New York swing.
Republicans also awaited an Obama administration report, expected to be released Friday, on how it would implement $110 billion in across-the-board cuts in defense and domestic spending due to take effect Jan. 2. The threatened cuts would kick in if Congress and the White House, by year's end, fail to reach a deal to cut the budget deficit by $1.2 trillion over the next decade.

Daneman (1991) noted that learners can absorb new information only in relation to what they already know. For example, an individual who knows nothing about baseball would have trouble understanding a "sacrifice bunt." However, an individual who understands chess and the strategy of sacrificing a pawn to improve board position could gain an understanding of a sacrifice bunt as a strategy for improving the chances of scoring a run. To make this analogy, the learner engages in a strategy to compare the two situations. A strategy can be thought of as a reasonably efficient and intentional routine that leads to the acquisition and utilization of knowledge (Prawat, 1989). It is possible that two people with the same advanced knowledge of chess but minimal knowledge of baseball might acquire knowledge about a sacrifice bunt differentially because of differences in how they use knowledge.
Important learning and instructional considerations regarding diverse learners' knowledge and use of strategies are presented in this table:
Learning and Instructional Considerations in Addressing Diverse Learners' Strategy Knowledge and Use
|Important Considerations for Diverse Learners
|Instructional Implications for Diverse Learners
The use of learning strategies occurs in many different school-related contexts, including solving math verbal problems by creating diagrams of known and unknown quantities; grouping items into discrete categories (e.g., food, clothing, furniture); writing stories by integrating awareness of story grammar, background knowledge, and the intended audience; and studying for a test using a combination of note-taking, rehearsal, and summarization techniques. In general, research has found that diverse learners do not use these and other types of learning strategies as effectively as average achievers (Wong, 1991).
Strategy use in the classroom is critical to educational success. Palincsar and Klenk (1992) provided a framework for understanding the importance of learning strategies. They suggested that learning demands placed on students in the home are fundamentally different than the learning demands placed on students in school. Home experiences provide multiple opportunities for incidental learning to occur. In incidental learning, knowledge is a natural by-product of everyday experiences. Learning environments are unstructured, and it is generally assumed that a child's natural curiosity is the only condition necessary for important outcomes to occur. In school, however, learning opportunities are organized so that intentional learning occurs. In contrast to incidental learning, intentional learning opportunities are characterized by structure, stated expectations, and time constraints. Learners are encouraged to be purposeful, goal directed, self-regulated, and actively engaged.
According to Palincsar, David, Winn, and Stevens (1991), learners who most effectively respond to the intentional learning demands of school classrooms are those students who use conspicuous learning strategies, actively monitor task demands in relation to their own learning, and adjust their learning strategies on the basis of their own learning outcomes. A similar model is provided by Johnston and Winograd (1985), who referred to students who monitor their own learning outcomes as "active learners." Active learners use strategic, goal-directed behaviors to plan, monitor, and evaluate their learning. Palincsar and Klenk (1992) observed that these active or intentional learning behaviors are problematic for diverse learners across a number of academic domains.
Researchers have attempted to determine whether the use of different strategies or the less efficient use of similar strategies distinguishes diverse learners from average achievers. Although it appears that both instances do occur, the general finding is that diverse learners and average achievers use similar strategies but differ in how efficiently they use them. For example, Griswold, Gelzheiser, and Shepherd (1987) investigated whether diverse learners and average achievers used the same strategies for memorizing the definitions of vocabulary terms. They found that although average achievers learned more unknown words than diverse learners, the groups did not differ in the kind of strategies they used, nor in the time they spent studying the vocabulary words.
Diverse learners also may be reluctant to give up strategies that are useful in the initial stages of learning, but which over time should be replaced with more efficient strategies. For example, a high level of automaticity in basic fact math problems is needed to solve higher-level math problems (Silbert, Carnine, & Stein, 1990). Initially, most students learn to solve basic fact problems by invoking some type of counting strategy. Not only do diverse learners take more time than average achievers to master counting strategies, but they also take longer to master automaticity of basic facts. For example, students may learn initially to solve division problem "50/5" the long way. After some practice, students should not need a paper and pencil to work the problem out, but should know the answer "automatically." An overreliance on counting strategies to solve basic fact problems prohibits a student from being able to successfully perform more complex operations. Problems at this level tend to persist for diverse learners even in the higher grades (Dixon, 1990).
Kirby and Becker (1988) indicated that lack of automaticity in basic operations and strategy use—either the use of an inefficient strategy or the use of the right strategy at the wrong time—were responsible for the majority of math problems that children experience. As they stated, the results of their studies "do not suggest that children with learning problems in arithmetic have any major structural defect in their information processing systems or that they are qualitatively different from normally achieving children in any enduring sense. Instead, the results are consistent with the interpretation that such children may not be carrying out even simple arithmetic in the correct manner, and that they require extensive practice in the correct strategies" (p. 15).
Similarly in reading, apparent differences in effective strategy use between diverse learners and average achievers may be partly attributable to problems with more fundamental learning strategies. For example, the finding that diverse learners use passage context less efficiently than average achievers to learn the meaning of new vocabulary words may be the result of strategy difficulties in reading comprehension. Both Spear and Sternberg (1986), who examined the literature on the reading problems of diverse learners, and Weisberg (1988), who reviewed the research on reading comprehension, arrived at a similar conclusion: diverse learners do not use reading comprehension strategies effectively. Weisberg noted that diverse learners have difficulty using strategies to integrate their background knowledge with text material to better increase comprehension. Spear and Sternberg indicated there was strong evidence that diverse learners are less efficient at scanning text, more passive in their approach to reading, and less flexible in adjusting their reading strategies to suit varying purposes.
Spear and Sternberg (1986) made a critical point, however, in noting that even the apparent reading comprehension strategy deficiencies of diverse learners may be mediated by a more fundamental problem: generalized low word-reading skills. Part of what is interpreted as inherent strategy problems may be the result of reading failure itself. As Spear and Sternberg suggested, "because of their prolonged difficulty learning to read, these youngsters do not profit sufficiently from the experiences with text through which normal children seem to induce and practice strategies" (p. 9). Thus, in coming full circle, it may be that apparent strategy deficiencies on the part of some diverse learners have root causes in basic skill deficiencies. In reading, lack of strategy use in determining vocabulary meaning from context may stem from deficient reading comprehension strategies. Deficient reading comprehension strategies, in turn, may stem from more fundamental problems with basic word reading skills and the consequences of prolonged reading failure.
It is important to emphasize that differences between diverse learners and average achievers in their use of learning strategies do not stem from organic, "inside-the-head" problems. There seem to be understandable reasons why diverse learners sometimes use different learning strategies than average achievers. They may be focusing on more fundamental aspects of a particular learning task than other students, and thus using different strategies to solve the task. In some cases they may be more reluctant than average achievers to give up strategies they have learned for strategies with which they are unfamiliar but which are necessary to solve complex problems efficiently.

text: Visualize, if you will, a mid-size governmental entity supporting (or demanding the support of you decide) some 650,000 residents/taxpayers, in a region which years ago waxed prosperous with a growing economy based on a mix of industry and agriculture, but which in recent years has shifted its focus more to the attraction objectives of tourism, medical care, and of course the so-called creative economy. This is based on the not-too-over-simplified concept that a governance which seeks, as its prime priority puppet shows and deconstructionist theatre will soon, as its subordinate priority, attract commerce, jobs and wealth. With this redirection of economic strategy has come sweeping demographic change, based primarily on middle-class out-migration and industrial and commercial disappearance, even city population shrinkage, while the price tag for ever-more far-reaching governmental services has grown faster than all but the wealthier citizens can cope with, even as the pool of subsidized low- or no-income citizens is the major population growth sector. If you conclude that the above thumbnail sketch describes Vermont, youd be correct. It also describes Jefferson County, Alabama, perhaps better known for county seat Birmingham, and nowenjoying its 15 minutes of fame as the subject of the biggest U.S. municipal bankruptcy in history, to quote from a recent Associated Press headline. Like Vermont, Jefferson Countys governance has watched with little concern the shrinkage of major employers (the US Steel plant there is a shadow of its former self) and the departure of others, but unlike Vermont the proximate cause of its financial distress isnt a long-term unsustainable growth in government activities and costs versus a (to phrase it charitably) sustainable, meaning stagnating, tax base. Its plain old-fashioned waste, fraud, and abuse stemming from a $3.2 billion mess a colossal, corruption-riddled sewer project, as the AP describes it. Unlike Vermont, Jefferson County has problems not of its own policy creation, ranging from global steel competition (US Steels plant in Kosice, Slovakia, produces and sells at a fraction of its Birmingham plants costs) to flight-to-the-suburbs, the latter caused by both former urbanite housing preferences and Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 SCOTUS public-school desegregation decision, the combined forces resulting in a city population shrinkage from 340,000 in 1960 to 229,000 today, with a center-city population now 74 percent black and low-income. Most of that podiatric balloting has resulted in metro area or county growth, so its reasonable to conclude that the areas fiscal crisis is more profound than an infra-structure finance scandal ; after all, Boston is in one, based on underground tunneling for cars, not sewage, and isnt collapsing financially. Id guess that it stems more from (as in Vermont) a change in governance attitude from pro- to anti- in terms of private sector commerce and industry; what a recent survey called a hostile-to-business governance climate. The Birmingham metro region isnt poor since Salary.com rates it a second in the nation for a place to build personal net worth but Jefferson County (Shelby County makes up the metro area) illustrates where its economic base preferences and interests lie by proudly billing itself as the cultural and entertainment capital of Alabama. The parallels to Vermont policy, as illustrated by legislative actions, are noticeable even if Golden Dome politicians want to be seen as concerned by some sort of affordability issue and Jefferson County politicos dont. Can a state with a near 650-K head-count find economic and esthetic happiness with a fast-growing trust-funder economy as a cultural and entertainment destination, just like a near-650-K head-count metro area? Yes, if its done with unusual-in-politics skillfulness, an attribute which Vermonts Golden Dome folk claim and maybe Jefferson Countys commissioners lack. It helps not to get into court over slope-the-wrong-way sewer construction. Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.

The Mesozoic
Few things in science evoke more interest in children than dinosaurs.

User reviews have proven to be an effective sales driver, but there is more to it than just adding them to product pages. Once you start to get large amounts of reviews you need be able to sort them in a meaningful way for customers.
Usability expert Jared Spool has a great example of how Amazon managed to solve this problem for its customers and add $2.7bn to its bottom line.
In this article from The Economist last week, Google's retail industry director John McAteer says that the amount of reviews is crucial for increasing conversions, with 20 the magic number, at which point the product becomes more attractive and inspires further reviews.
However, once the number of reviews reaches a certain point, and users have too many to scroll through, then they need some help making more sense of them.
Amazon's solution is described by Jared Spool in his latest article, and was as simple as adding the question: 'was this review helpful to you?' which helped Amazon to place the most relevant reviews, and therefore the most useful ones for conversion, at the top.
Amazon quietly bumps the three most helpful reviews to the top. It tries to balance positive and negative reviews, so shoppers get a balanced perspective. An interesting side effect is how these selected reviews get more votes. If they are controversial (in that not everyone agrees they were helpful), their ratio goes down, allowing the most helpful reviews to bubble up past them. This makes it a self-managing system, letting the reviews people find the most helpful to maintain their standing at the top of the list. The result is an understated implementation that works great.
Other touches, such as allowing users to easily view the best negative or positive reviews, as well as some handy charts that summarise review ratings, make the large number of reviews manageable for users and more useful for Amazon.
Jared calculates that, since displaying the most helpful reviews has increased sales in the media products category by 20%, overall this feature was worth $2.7bn to Amazon, and after this example of a firm that made $300m by removing the need to register before checkout, shows how small tweaks can make a big difference.
This doesn't necessarily apply to all retailers, as few attract the sheer numbers of reviews that Amazon, In fact, it's hard to find too many UK e-commerce sites with a large number of reviews.
Kelkoo and Reevoo both ask if reviews were helpful, and this makes product pages easier for shopper to scan. Reevoo provides a useful summary of scores, and displays review in order of how helpful others found them:
On the Game website, there are a number of items with hundreds of reviews, but the retailer hasn't provided the tools to sort them and to help shoppers make more use of them. In this example for Grand Theft Auto, there are 217 user reviews split across 40+ pages:
Having gathered so much user feedback, Game is not making the most of it, and this is a clear case where the ability to rate reviews as helpful or otherwise could make them a valuable resource for shoppers, and help increase conversions for the retailer.
Comments (8)
Really excellent article, will forward this to colleagues. Every site which features reviews or is about to implement must really consider sorting quite carefully.
Very interesting, I have always enjoyed the Amazon review ratings, and have always been impressed that the ones I see are helpful. I'm wondering what other areas this could be applied to..I'm sure the same logic would work in oother areeas.
It is def. important to keep the reviews clean and relevant. getting rid of what ever might not belong there to keep the integrity of that feature.
This is a very good article and I'd highly recommend clicking through to the Economist article referenced by Graham above. As noted in The Economist article, the volume of reviews drives a significant impact on conversion and return rates, so it's important retailers engage their customers to maximize volume.
For retailers who successfully generate a large quantity of reviews, helping consumers quickly find reviews relevant to them is important. Sorting by helpfulness is a great start, but retailers should also add sort by:
- Rating: customers often want to quickly see the best and worst reviews
- Review Length: longer, more contextual reviews are generally more helpful
- Top Reviewers: every site has leaders in the community whose opinions are highly valued by others
- Photo and Video Reviews: a picture speaks a 1000 words so make it easy to find those reviews
- Reviewer Attribute: if I'm an expert photographer, I want to quickly sort to see only the reviews from other experts
Bazaarvoice makes all of these and other options available by default. We believe enabling your customers to decide which reviews are relevant to them is a fantastic customer experience that translates to real value, as Amazon found.
Good Article , reviews play a very important role conversion to sales . Reviews help a lot in changing the mentality of customer
A question on Justin's comment: Is there any evidence that video or photo reviews increase conversion?
A picture (or video) may speak 1000 words - but they also take rather longer to process than text. Personally I find them a huge waste of time - give me text anyday. But I recognise I may not be typical of Amazon or other retailer's target customers.
Amazon being deceptive? Nah... ;) It sounds like this small test proved substantial to their bottom line in sales in the billions.
I have to agree with the comment above (Ian Brodie), I find it very rare that I would site through a video review prior to making a purchasing decision. I would much rather scan the written reviews, primarily looking for anything bad, before making a decision on whether to buy or not.

Back in the Studio, Cher's Recording a Song by Way of Gaga
"Humility doesn't hurt!"
Cher is back in the studio, and she's recorded a track gifted to her from Lady Gaga, she tweeted Wednesday evening. "Finished 1st track on new cd &........GAGA YOU ARE THE GREATEST THING TO ME," she said. After setting Twitter into a minor frenzy, the singer clarified the situation: "It's not a duet ! It's one of her songs & she & Redone gave it to me 4 my cd !" A few people on Twitter then accused Cher of "selling her ass to Gaga" and being a "sycophant" for the pop star, but Cher set them straight: "Not groveling ! Humility doesn't hurt ! I'm thrilled ! None of us DO IT ALONE." [Cher/Twitter via ONTD]
