Just after midnight on Saturday morning, Team 8 was disqualified from the 2017 Iron Dog for violating rule 13.2.
Rule 13.2 states, "Racers will be permitted to receive outside help for fuel and engine oil ONLY between the checkpoints of Ruby and Tanana. 13.2.1 NO OTHER ASSISTANCE OF ANY KIND INCLUDING PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH THE PIT CREW WILL BE PERMITTED.
According to Tyson Johnson, the disqualification comes after a photo surfaced of spectators pushing on the back of their sleds while the team was fueling. Johnson continues, "we only needed about 5 gallons, pushing on the back helps get an extra half gallon but we didn't even need that fuel." Johnson continues to explain the team didn't realize spectators were pushing on the sled and when they saw them, Team 8 asked them to stop.
The team feels the disqualification "makes us look like cheaters" while they also feel "teams get 15 minute penalties for worse things."
Iron Dog Executive Director Kevin Kastner says, "unfortunately, the only set penalties for this infraction is between those two checkpoints," meaning disqualification is explicitly written in the rules for this infraction.
Hours from the Iron Dog finish, Team 8 also feels like this news is devastating to the riders still competing.
"I wouldn't feel I truly won unless I beat the fastest team. Last year we beat team 16 and this year being ahead of team 41...that's two very skilled teams...it cheapens it."

Why the Boy Scouts Position on Gays Makes Sense
I was accused this week of being a homophobe because I didn't denounce the Boy Scouts court victory in Philadelphia. I've written about this case previously, but decided a succinct approach is needed to state my position.
Full Disclosure: For those who haven't read my blog: I was a Scout from the ages of 8 until 18. For the last 7 years I've been active as an adult leader in connection with my sons being Scouts, currently serving as a member of Troop Committee and as a Merit Badge counselor.
Boys and girls do not camp together, in the same tents. Yes, there is Venturing, the BSA program for co-eds, but that is a separate and distinct division of Scouting. Girls and boys do not camp together, in the same tents (not even in Venturing), and I think we can all agree no one will argue with the whys: setting aside privacy issues and common decorum, no matter how much either John or Jane might promise not to do anything with each other, kids will be kids. If we accept 'Boy Scouts' having boys and 'Girl Scouts' having girls, then we can stand firm on this point.
So let's carry this to a logical extension. Say boys who are open about their being gay are permitted. Now it shouldn't matter if John says he won't do anything in appropriate to Jim, if we're following the same logic as above. We would have to separate the gay boys.
So we assign gay boys their own tents. OK, if the estimate 10-15% of the population is gay, then it's easy to have, literally, and odd-boy out in his own tent. Now we're isolating a boy in his own tent, because he's different; and this is acceptable ... how?
And if a unit had 2 or more gay boys, could we allow them to be in the same tent? Because as in the first example of boys & girls, perhaps the parents of the gay boys do not want them at risk of inappropriate behavior from another. The risk, again, is that kids will be kids, right?
One way or another, there will be segregation, exclusion. We're talking about children, not adults.
And if you wish to open Scouting to both genders, would you not still require the segregation? Venturing has strict guidelines already covering this. And then by extension, as above, a further segregation?
That's where I stand... tell me if you think I am wrong, but be ready to back up your position.

Day 3: HALF WAY!
yay day 3 – Wednesday! Half way through the week!
Well today did a delivery with piers (who is Director of Kall Kwik) of leaflet things to Anne Snailgroves office, no one was there so they got god knows how many boxes placed with care on by their door…
So when you get one through your door (which im gussing they will do) you can know i had a hand in it!
It feels kind of nice when you have someone who is in business asking your opinion about how they should go about doing something. 🙂 which i was asked about how it could be best done which being me i kind went on a bit about how the coding should be good, and how loads of designers knock designs up on Photoshop and Dreamweaver which make gastly code!…
So erm what did i do… i Designed the front of a christmas card. with business in mind..
i will post a image soon.
I laminated some A3 Posters which (again im gussing) will be put up arround swindon.
Also did a bit of Admin work ie empting pre 2007 orders and boxing…
Really though it beats school, and so much better when you have something to do!

Hi, I'm Amelia. I appreciate passionate and creative people, clever use of puns, and authentic crepes. Also, airports, dance parties, Josh Ritter concerts, and foreign countries. But most importantly, I love nothing more than getting behind the camera—it's my happy place.
I have seen how the heart of Bloom & Lo—my business, my passion—is being lived out in the people I meet and photograph every month, both here in Atlanta (where I'm based) and abroad. I want to document people who are deeply rooted, growing towards the Light, producing fruit, and remaining humble throughout the process of their relationships. People who are real, honest, and not afraid to admit that they haven't "arrived," but are still very much in the beginning stages of growing together and figuring out life. I want to continue to bloom and see that others continue to bloom, too.
My photography isn't just an album, or a canvas on a wall. And it certainly isn't just a pretty smile and a timely snap of the camera shutter. It is something that requires time, humility, thought, and trust. It is something that lasts beyond yesterday, today and tomorrow. It captures moments of transition and change, and encourages light and vulnerability where darkness and fear may have formerly dwelt. It celebrates courage, confidence, and natural beauty.
All that to say the heart behind Bloom & Lo is found where growth and humility meet and form something beautifully authentic. My desire is to capture that and make it last.
So if you like what you see and want to see more, let's grab a cup of Scottish tea or a local brew and get to know each other!

The Halo series is known for vast alien landscapes, dramatic battles, sweeping music, and a light dusting of world-shattering explosions. But in a cacophony of fire and smoke, who knew that the most thrilling moments of Halo 4 would be Cortana's shuddered breaths, and Chief's reassurance that everything would be okay?
Halo 4 continues a long-running tradition of console first-person shooters, helmed by 343 Industries and not series-creator Bungie. Halo 4 combines a massive single-player campaign with the franchise's iconic multiplayer suite. It packs access to a free season of downloadable missions. It features a map editor. It has badass one-liners. And it sold extremely well. But how was it received by critics?
Master Chief and Cortana's latest mission has been available to the world for 30 days. In that time, the entire video game industry has fired off opinions on this next step for the Halo series. Below, we've collected a small sampling of reviews for Halo 4 from a variety of different outlets. We've also assembled a sampler of news that broke since Halo 4 launched on November 6th, as well as a bunch of neat things you may (or may not) enjoy.
And don't forget that IGN operates a massive Halo 4 wiki, so stop in and browse the archives, or contribute your own Halo knowledge to our magic wiki boxes.
The Reviews
But Ryan wasn't nearly the only member of the video game press to critique Halo 4. While it received an impressive number of perfect scores, it also collected a handful of mediocre reviews... and even a shocking 20 out of 100, which we hear depressed Master Chief himself, as stoic as he may be.
Here's a brief snapshot at how the gaming press reacted to Halo 4 in order of each outlet's ranking on Metacritic.
- "One of the finest shooters in years." 100/100 -- Joystiq
- "Nails the wonder and awe that defined the series." 95/100 -- Polygon
- "The magic formula is intact." 93/100 -- Game Informer
- "343 Industries should be proud." 90/100 -- Gamespot
- "The single-player falters." 80/100 -- The Escapist
- "A frustratingly similar Halo experience." 70/100 -- EGM
More reviews on Metacritic.
The News
When something goes down in the Halo universe, the world listens. The last 30 days have been filled with exciting Halo news. You can see a sampling of this news below.
- Halo 4 soundtrack is the highest-charting game album ever. (Full Story)
- No PC version of Halo 4 currently in development. (Full Story)

The Other Neat Stuff
Regardless of what all the critics say, there's no escaping the truth of the matter: Halo 4 is a time-consuming game for anyone even remotely interested in its multiplayer component. For those of you still desperate to see, read, and hear about more Halo 4, we gathered a short list of things worth checking out.
...unless you just want to play more Halo 4. That's always an option.

I really love plants and I like to think of myself as a very well informed novice. Everyone with a field of interest typically narrows it down to 2 or 3 things that they know a lot about. Between a close friend and I we know a lot about weird plants and neither of us has heard of this. Neither has Google seemingly.
Maybe it would be more profitable to look in to the bird?
Thanks for the amazing story and a great thread.

And I'm still searching......
Amazingly, a recent ethnological discovery has actually shown that some witch-doctors of the HUANKA tradition remarkably, use no tools in the making of small stone objects, but in fact still use a chemical solution made from plant extracts to actually soften the stone material!
According to Dr. Davidovits, in a paper that was written by Dr. Davidovits, A. Bonnett and A.M. Marriote and presented at the 21st International Symposium for Archaeometry at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, USA in 1981:
"The starting stone material (silicate or silico-aluminate) is dissolved by the organic extracts, and the viscous slurry is then poured into a mould where it hardens. This technique, when mastered, allows a sort of cement to be made by dissolving rocks; statues which could have been made by the technique of the pre-incan HUANKA, by dissolution followed by geopolymeric agglomeration, are found to contain Ca-oxalate in the stone."

I saw this subject being discussed in the History Channels series 'Ancient Aliens'. Hancock talks about it in his book too.
The concept of softening stone was also discussed in relation to the construction of the Great Pyramid in Egypt. A guy demonstrated the technique on camera. He liquidized limestone then recast it in a mould where it then solidified into a block. He believes that the pits that were excavated near the construction site is where these giant moulds were placed. So the blicks were made on site, rather than being dragged from a quarry. That was the argument anyway..

I cannot say plant but i know vinegar melts stone, maybe a bit slow but it still works.
Hope that helps.
In an interview in 1983, Jorge A. Lira, a Catholic priest who was an expert in Andean folklore, said that he had rediscovered the ancient method of softening stone. According to a pre-Columbian legend the gods had given the Indians two gifts to enable them to build colossal architectural works such as Sacsayhuaman and Machu Picchu. The gifts were two plants with amazing properties. One of them was the coca plant, whose leaves enabled the workers to sustain the tremendous effort required. The other was a plant which, when mixed with other ingredients, turned hard stone into a malleable paste. Padre Lira said he had spent 14 years studying the legend and finally succeeded in identifying the plant in question, which he called 'jotcha'. He carried out several experiments and, although he managed to soften solid rock, he could not reharden it, and therefore considered his experiments a failure.4 Aukanaw, an Argentine anthropologist of Mapuche origin, who died in 1994, related a tradition about a species of woodpecker known locally by such names as pitiwe, pite, and pitio; its scientific name is probably Colaptes pitius (Chilean flicker), which is found in Chile and Argentina, or Colaptes rupicola (Andean flicker), which is found in southern Ecuador, Peru, western Bolivia, and northern Argentina and Chile. If someone blocks the entrance to its nest with a piece of rock or iron it will fetch a rare plant, known as pito or pitu, and rub it against the obstacle, causing it to become weaker or dissolve. In Peru, above 4500 m, there is said to be a plant called kechuca which turns stone to jelly, and which the jakkacllopito bird uses to make its nest. A plant with similar properties that grows at even higher altitudes is known, among other things, as punco-punco; this may be Ephedra andina, which the Mapuche consider a medicinal plant.5

Relationship between the Micellization of TTAB and the Solubilization of p-Bromophenol in TTAB Solution
Lee, Byung-Hwan ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 665~671
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.665
The solubilization of p-bromophenol by the micellar system of TTAB(tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide) and the micellization of TTAB were studied by the UV-vis spectrophotometric method simultaneously. And the effects of temperature on these properties have been measured for the thermodynamic study. The results show that the
values are negative and the
values are positive for the solubilization of p-bromophenol within the measured range. On the other hand, the
values are negative and the
values are positive for the micellization of TTAB. The effects of additives such as n-butanol and NaCl have been studied also for both properties and the relationship between these two properties has been also studied. From the results, we can postulate the solubilization site of p-bromophenol in the micelle.
Synergistic Effect on Corrosion Inhibiton Efficiency of Ginger Affinale Extract in Controlling Corrosion of Mild Steel in Acid Medium
Subramanian, Ananth Kumar ; Arumugam, Sankar ; Mallaiya, Kumaravel ; Subramaniam, Rameshkumar ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 672~676
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.672
The corrosion inhibition nature of Ginger affinale extract for the corrosion of mild steel in 0.5N
was investigated using weight loss, electrochemical impedance and potentiodynamic polarization methods. The results revealed that Ginger affinale extract acts as a good corrosion inhibitor in 0.5N
medium. The inhibition efficiency increased with an increase in inhibitor concentration. The inhibition could be attributed to the adsorption of the inhibitor on the steel surface.

Since a glycerol molecule has three active sites, two
and one
hydroxyl groups; it undergoes condensation by releasing water molecules to produce linear, nonlinear and heterocyclic oligomers. The Gibbs free energy (G), enthalpy (H) and internal energy (E) of 7 diglycerol, 15 triglycerol and 23 tetraglycerol isomers were calculated at B3LYP level of theory using 6-311++G(d, p) basis set, in both gas and aqueous phases. Linear oligomers,
-triglycerol and
-tetraglycerol, were found to be the most stable oligomers in aqueous phase. It was found that the stability of cyclic oligomers decreases as the size of their rings increases. Cyclic oligomers are produced by dehydration of the acyclic ones which is an endothermic reaction while its
is negative. The dehydration reaction is less endothermic in aqueous phase.
Characterization of Black Carbon Collected from Candle Light and Automobile Exhaust Pipe
Cho, Seo-Rin ; Cho, Han-Gook ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 691~696
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.691
Black carbon contributes to global warming and melting of polar ice as well as causing respiratory diseases. However, it is also an inexpensive, easily available carbon nano material for elementary chemistry experiments. In this study, black carbon samples collected from candle light and automobile exhaust pipes have been investigated to examine their compositions and surface characteristics. The observed broad G and D bands and amorphous
band in their Raman spectra as well as the high intensity of the D (defect) band reveal that black carbon is principally made of amorphous graphite. The black carbon deposits in automobile exhaust pipes are apparently more amorphous, probably due to the shorter time allowed for formation of the carbonaceous matter. An exceptionally large water contact angle (
) is observed on black carbon, confirming its superhydrophobicity. The surface roughness evidently plays an important role for the contact angle much larger than that of crystalline graphite (
). According to the Sassie-Baxter equation, less than 1% the area actually in contact with the water drop.
Addition Reaction of Cyclopropane with Magnesium Dihydride (MgH

Singh, Satya Prakash ; Meena, Jay Singh ; Thankachan, Pompozhi Protasis ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 697~702
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.697
The addition reaction of cyclopropane with
has been investigated using the B3LYP density functional method employing several split-valence basis sets. Both along the and perpendicular to the cyclopropane ring approach has been reported. It is shown that the reaction proceeds via a four-centered transition state. Calculations at higher levels of theory were also performed at the geometries optimized at the B3LYP level, but only slight changes in the barriers were observed. Structural parameters for the transition state are also reported.
Selection of Suitable Micellar Catalyst for 1,10-Phenanthroline Promoted Chromic Acid Oxidation of Formic Acid in Aqueous Media at Room Temperature
Ghosh, Aniruddha ; Saha, Rumpa ; Ghosh, Sumanta K. ; Mukherjee, Kakali ; Saha, Bidyut ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 703~711
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.703
In the present investigation, kinetic studies of oxidation of formic acid with and without catalyst and promoter in aqueous acid media were studied under the pseudo-first order conditions [formic acid]T
at room temperature. In the 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) promoted path, the cationic Cr(VI) phen complex is the main active oxidant species undergoes a nucleophilic attack by the substrate to form a ternary complex which subsequently experiences a redox decomposition through several steps leading to the products
along with the Cr(III) phen complex. The anionic surfactant (i.e., sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) and neutral surfactant (i.e., Triton X-100, TX-100) act as catalyst and the reaction undergo simultaneously in both aqueous and micellar phase with an enhanced rate of oxidation in the micellar phase. Whereas the cationic surfactant (i.e., N-cetyl pyridinium chloride, CPC) acts as an inhibitor restricts the reaction to aqueous phase. The observed net enhancement of rate effects has been explained by considering the hydrophobic and electrostatic interaction between the surfactants and reactants. The neutral surfactant TX-100 has been observed as the suitable micellar catalyst for the phen promoted chromic acid oxidation of formic acid.
Spectroscopic, Thermal and Biological Studies of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) Complexes Derived from 3-Aminopyridine and Nitrite Ion
Dhaveethu, Karuthakannan ; Ramachandramoorthy, Thiagarajan ; Thirunavukkarasu, Kandasamy ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 712~720
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.712
Microwave assisted syntheses of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes with 3-aminopyridine (3AP) and nitrite (
) ions have been reported. The metal complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, IR, Far-IR, electronic, NMR (
), thermal and electron impact mass spectral studies. The spectroscopic studies reveal the composition, the nature of nitrite ligand in the complexes, electronic transitions, chemical environments of C and H atoms thermal degradation of the complexes. On the basis of characterization data, distorted tetrahedral geometry is suggested for Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes. The organic ligand (3AP) and their metal complexes were screened against gram negative pathogenic bacteria and fungi in vitro. The results are compared with our previous report J. Korean Chem. Soc. 2013, 57, 341 on 4-aminopyridine and nitrite ion complexes of the same metal ions.

Multi-Nuclear NMR Investigation of Nickel(II), Palladium(II), Platinum(II) and Ruthenium(II) Complexes of an Asymmetrical Ditertiary Phosphine
Raj, Joe Gerald Jesu ; Pathak, Devendra Deo ; Kapoor, Pramesh N. ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 726~730
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.726
Complexes synthesized by reacting alkyl and aryl phosphines with different transition metals are of great interest due to their catalytic properties. Many of the phosphine complexes are soluble in polar solvents as a result they find applications in homogeneous catalysis. In our present work we report, four transition metal complexes of Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II) and Ru(II) with an asymmetrical ditertiaryphosphine ligand. The synthesized ligand bears a less electronegative substituent such as methyl group on the aromatic nucleus hence makes it a strong
-donor to form stable complexes and thus could effectively used in catalytic reactions. The complexes have been completely characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR,
and FAB Mass Spectrometry methods. Based on the spectroscopic evidences it has been confirmed that Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes with the ditertiaryphosphine ligand showed cis whereas the Ru(II) complex showed trans geometry in their molecular structure.
Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Bifunctional Sulfonamide-Amide Derivatives
Abbavaram, Babul Reddy A. ; Reddyvari, Hymavathi R.V. ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 731~737
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.731
A convenient synthesis of bifunctional sulfonamide-amide derivatives was reported. Amide coupling of 4-methyl benzoic acid 1 followed by reaction with chlorosulfonic acid produce ethyl-4-(3-(chlorosulfonyl)-4-methylbenzoyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate 4. The resulted compound on further treatment with various anilines produces the title sulfonamide-amide derivatives 5a-n. The configurations of these compounds were established by elemental analysis, IR,
NMR, mass spectra, and by their preparation from the corresponding 4-methyl benzoic acid 1 and chlorosulfonic acid. All these new compounds demonstrate significant in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities against all bacterial and fungal strains.

Linoleic acid and its metabolites have various medicinal effects with carboxylic acid functional group. General carboxylic acid compounds are discovered as glucuronide metabolites by UGT glucuronosyl transferase at liver. Consequently, glucuronides of linoleic acid metabolites are expected as potent conjugated metabolite. A previous study reported two epoxide metabolites and two dihydroxy metabolites of linoleic acid. There are prepared their glucuronic acid conjugated compounds as potent linoleic acid metabolites.

Karichappan, Thirugnanasambandham ; Venkatachalam, Sivakumar ; Jeganathan, Prakash Maran ; Sengodan, Kandasamy ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 761~768
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.761
Removal of COD and TSS from rice mill wastewater was investigated using continuous electrocoagulation method (CEC). The electrical energy consumption (EEC) of the process was also examined in order to evaluate the economic viability. The Box-Behnken statistical experiment design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM) were used to investigate the effects of major operating variables. Initial pH, current density, electrode distance and flow rate were selected as independent variables in BBD while COD removal, TSS removal and EEC were considered as the response functions. The predicted values of responses obtained using the response function was in good agreement with the experimental data. Optimum operating conditions were found to be pH of 7, current density of 15 mA
, electrode distance of 5 cm and flow rate of 70 ml/min. Under these conditions, greater than 89% removal of COD and TSS were obtained with EEC value of 7 KWh.

Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 769~777
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.769
The effect of operating conditions (temperature and the partial pressures of H2 and CO) on the reaction rate of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) were investigated by carrying out experiments according to a Box-Behnken design (BBD), and were mathematically modeled by using response surface methodology (RSM). The catalyst used was a nano-structured cobalt/manganese oxide catalyst, which was prepared by thermal decomposition. The rate of synthesis was measured in a fixed-bed micro reactor with
molar feed ratio of 0.32-3.11 and reactor pressure in the range of 3-9.33 bar at space velocity of
and a temperature range of 463.15-503.15 K, under differential conditions (CO conversion below 2%). The results indicated that in the present experimental setup, the temperature and the partial pressure of CO were the most significant variables affecting reaction rate. Based on statistical analysis the quadratic model of reaction rate of FTS was highly significant as p-value 0.0002.
The Effect of Mentoring on Beginning Science Teacher`s Perception Change in Their Teaching Performance
Jung, Minkyung ; Lee, Sunduk ; Nam, Jeonghee ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 778~788
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.778
The purpose of this study was to examine the change of the beginning science teachers` perception change through the mentoring program. Participants in this study were four mento-teachers, one university professor, two teachers in doctor, two teacher in doctor`s or master`s course, and four mentee-teachers who had less than three years teaching experience. We performed five times one to one mentoring for a year. We collected data such as video recordings of mentee-teacher`s classes, lesson plans, recording of one to one mentoring and transcription, mento and mentee journals, preliminary-interim-post interview and transcription, and RTOP class observation report. Based on the result of this study, five times mentoring over a year changed mentee-teacher`s perception and their teaching practice.
Characteristics of Elementary Science-Gifted Education Teachers` Reflection on Their Science Teaching
Kang, Hunsik ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 789~800
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.789
This study investigated the characteristics of elementary science-gifted education teachers` reflection on their science teaching. To do this, the reflective journals of 33 elementary science-gifted education teachers were analyzed in terms of `productive reflection`. The results revealed that most of reflective journals included the aspects of `instructional strategies and instruction for science-gifted education (100.0%)` and `science-gifted students (90.9%)`. `Curriculum for science-gifted education (42.4%)` was also frequently included although fewer than two previous aspects. However, `subject matter knowledge` and `assessment in science-gifted education` were included less than 10%. The mean score of the inclusion scores was 2.48 on a scale of 5 points and was not significantly correlated with the teaching careers in science-gifted education. 18.2% of the journals showed no integrations, which were unproductive reflection. 66.7% of the journals integrated only two aspects and 24.2% of the journals integrated three aspects. Only 6.1% of the journals integrated four aspects and no journals integrated all five aspects. Especially, the integrations between `science-gifted students (81.8%)` or `instructional strategies and instruction for science-gifted education (81.8%)` and the other aspects were most frequent. The integrations between `Curriculum for science-gifted education (30.3%)` and the other aspects were also frequently included. However, the integrations between `subject matter knowledge (6.1%)` or `assessment in science-gifted education (0.0%)` and the other aspects were hardly included. The mean score of the integration scores was 2.12 on a scale of 5 points and was not significantly correlated with the teaching careers in science-gifted education.
An Analysis of Analogies in Chemistry Content of Middle School Science Textbooks and High School Chemistry Textbooks Developed under the 2009 Revised National Curriculum
Kim, Kyungsun ; Ahn, Inyoung ; Choi, Yongnam ; Noh, Taehee ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 801~812
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.801
In this study, we analyzed the analogies in the chemistry domain of 27 middle school science textbooks and 8 high school chemistry textbooks developed under the 2009 Revised National Curriculum. A total of 284 analogies (science, 143; chemistry, 141) were identified from the textbooks, which means that 8.11 analogies (science, 5.3; chemistry, 17.6) per textbook and 0.68 analogy (science, 0.66; chemistry, 0.70) per 10 pages were used on average. Compared with previous curricula that the number of analogies gradually increased, the use of analogy was found to be somewhat decreased in the 2009 Revised National Curriculum. The number of analogies found in each textbook considerably varied depending on course, unit, and publishing company. One hundred ninety one different kinds of analogies were used, among which 38(19.9%) were used over twice. Further analyses of the types of analogies indicated that verbal and pictorial analogy, analogy with abstract target and concrete analog, and enriched analogy were frequently used. However, the term `analogy` and the description about the limitation of the analogy were rarely mentioned. Artificial analogy, teacher-centered analogy, and analogy with low systematicity were also found to be frequently used. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.
The Impact of Reading Framework on College Students` Reflective Thinking in Argumentation-Based General Chemistry Laboratory
Nam, Jeonghee ; Lee, Dongwon ; Park, Seongho ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 813~820
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.813
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the reading framework on college students` reflective thinking in argumentation-based general chemistry laboratory. A total of 17 first grade college students taking general chemistry laboratory participated in this study, with 7 in the treatment group and the other 10 in the comparative group. For two semesters, a total of 10 argumentation-based general chemistry laboratory programs were applied. The result was shown that the lessons using the reading framework were effective in enhancing the students` reflective thinking. As the study progressed, the treatment group showed more changes toward the high level of reflective thinking than those of the comparative group.
The Effects of `Science History Based Chemist Inquiry Program` on the Understanding toward Nature of Science, Scientific Attitudes, and Science Career Orientation of Scientifically Gifted High School Students
Park, Gi-Su ; Yoo, Mi-Hyun ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 821~829
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.821
The purpose of this study was to develop `Science History Based Chemist Inquiry Program` for the science-gifted in high school and investigated the application effects on the understanding toward the nature of science, scientific attitudes, and science career orientation. This study was conducted with one class of 17 scientifically gifted high school students, and the `Science History Based Chemist Inquiry Program` was applied during 22 class hours. The results of this study were as follows: First, the science gifted students` understanding toward the nature of science showed a statistically significant improvement (approximate significance probability .005). Property of the scientific model, sub-domain of the nature of science, is significantly improved (approximate significance probability .029). This result show that `Science History Based Chemist Inquiry Program` can improve the scientifically gifted high school students` perception about nature of science. Second, the scientifically gifted students` scientific attitude wasn`t changed significantly. However, the openness and creativity in the sub-domains of the scientific attitude showed a statistically significant improvement (p<.05). Third, science career orientation of science-gifted did not show a statistically significant change. But the value of the level of awareness about the science career has been significantly improved (p<.05).
The Influence of Pre-service Chemistry Teachers` View of Learning on Their Practice Teaching
Koh, Eun Jung ; Choi, Byung-Soon ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 830~844
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.830
The purpose of this study were to analyze characteristics of pre-service chemistry teachers` practice teaching and to investigate the relationship between their practice teaching characteristics and the view of learning. Three pre-service chemistry teachers were selected for this study. Their 9 practice teaching videos that recorded during practice teaching were observed, transcribed, and analyzed. Responses of questionnaires about their view of learning and interviews were transcribed and analyzed. Almost all of the characteristics of pre-service teachers` practice teaching seemed to be reflected in their view of learning. Pre-service teacher K had a lot of constructive view of learning, so comparatively many features of constructivism was presented in practice teaching. Pre-service teacher M had a lot of traditional view of learning, so many traditional features appeared in practice teaching. However, sometimes pre-service teachers` view of learning did not appear to their practice teaching because of several factors. In particular, a few cases that constructive view of learning was not reflected in the practice teaching appeared, especially pre-service teacher H. Factors were the practice school`s conditions and the effects of tutors.
The Enhancement of Creative Thinking Skill through the Writing Activity about the Basic Inquiry and the Integrated Inquiry Elements
Park, Hyejin ; Kang, Soonhee ;
Journal of the Korean Chemical Society, volume 57, issue 6, 2013, Pages 845~854
DOI : 10.5012/jkcs.2013.57.6.845
The purpose of this study was to develop a teaching strategy focused on science writing and to investigate its effects on enhancing students` creative thinking skills. In advance, students in the experiment were led to write by inquiry elements. And students in the experiment group were taught by science writing strategy. Students in the control group were taught by traditional lecture-based instructions. The program was implemented over a semester. The results indicated that the experimental group presented statistically meaningful improvement in creative thinking skills(p<.05). Especially, science writing was effective on fluency and flexibility development(p<.05). This study suggests that science writing can be effective for improvement of creative thinking skills.

You guys are probably sick of me by now but I'll post it anyway as I wait for my credit card dispute to go through. FYI I filed a dispute the other day re the other issue I posted about, money has been refunded, but it is still pending an investigation. The credit card company has not heard back from the shop yet. They asked me for more information.
So anyway....there was a recall on my car that had something to do with the door latches. I took it into the dealer, had it repaired, and started hearing a noise when going over 40 mph. It's a rattling noise that is a bit annoying. I took it back and they checked the door and said it's not the door. It was almost closing time and they said to bring it back next week.
I went back the next week, took a tech for a ride, and they narrowed it down to two things:
1) They noticed a couple of my wheel covers loose and recommended that I buy all new rims for $900.
2) They recommended replacing the under shield. It's a foam/plastic type material that isn't going to make a noise like that. They wrote out an estimate for over $300 to replace that.
She said something about charging me to diagnose it and I said to go ahead and but then she backtracked and said there was nothing to diagnose and it had to be one of those issues.
I removed the wheel covers so I know the wheels weren't the issue. I saw another mechanic who said there's no way it's the shield. I called the manufacturer and their solution is to open a ticket which will go to the dealership and they asked me to call the manager there. I was hoping they'd send me to another dealer.
Should I volunteer to pay for the diagnosis if they find that it's NOT the door? I have no problem with that. But if it is the door and they botched the recall job then I shouldn't have to pay for their mistake. Sound fair enough or am I off base?

Summary for the Busy Executive: Some of the best symphonic writing I know.
With the Symphony #11, British composer Robert Simpson ended one of the major cycles of the previous century. In 1991, he suffered from a stroke and lived out the rest of his days in pain too great to allow him to compose. He died in 1997. The 1995 String Quintet was essentially complete in 1991. It's tempting to regard a composer's late work as an extended farewell, but of course Simpson had no idea a stroke was coming. Indeed, the symphony shows the composer heading in new directions.
People probably know Simpson more for his writing – intelligent, illuminating, and accessible – than for his music. His Carl Nielsen: Symphonist probably did more than anything else to take Nielsen's work out of its circumscribed Scandinavian locale to the world at large. In the Sixties, he beat the drum for the neglected Havergal Brian. Before that, he had written influential essays on Bruckner, whose music at the time hadn't really made it out of Austria, and even spurred performances of the symphonies in Britain. He performed the same service for Mahler. If Simpson hadn't ever written a note, he would still have been a major figure in Twentieth-Century music.
In his youth, Simpson wrote at least some dodecaphonic music but destroyed it. Nevertheless, Schoenberg affected his compositional outlook, particularly in his micromanagement of detail. Simpson's mature music is tonal, although chromatic. He also destroyed four early symphonies. He had a profound understanding of symphonic form, and it took him a while to translate that understanding into music. The effort paid off. Few symphonies have the inexorability and inevitability of movement as those of Simpson. He achieves this even as he largely avoids standard symphonic forms. Simpson's music proceeds as germinating, independently contrapuntal lines. You can generally find all the material of a movement in the opening measures, rather than waiting for first- and then second-subject groups to complete. It reminds me more of an Elizabethan fantasia or the Nielsen Fifth than of Haydn. That's certainly the case in Simpson's Symphony #11. What's new here, however, is the sparseness of the textures, compared to earlier works. Often, the counterpoint comes down to two or three voices. The amount of "air" around the music leads to a feeling of intense compression. The symphony falls into two substantial movements, slow and fast. Neither one's a sonata, aria, or rondo. Yet each displays strong dynamic shape. Both use the same small kit of musical ideas and both share the same basic rhythmic pulse. However, the first movement is more inward and full of trouble. Much of it seems like a slow crescendo, with a quick diminuendo at the end. The second movement uses sprightlier rhythms, but it's not really light-hearted. The idiom seems a cross between Nielsen and Hindemithian neoclassicism.
The Nielsen Variations of 1983 belong to the category of symphonic variation, whereby a symphonic movement is constructed through individual variations, like Beethoven's "Eroica" or Brahms's Haydn Variations. At Simpson's level, comparative evaluations become invidious or pointless, just as they do for Bach. Everything shows high order and power. As in Nielsen or Sophocles, the artistic sensibility is that of a grownup – emotional balance and sanity the dominant traits. Despite my reluctance to compare, I can't help myself. This counts as one of my favorite Simpsons, even though I've got a long way to go before I "crack" it. Curiously enough, I find it least effective as a variation set. I discern only with difficulty what Simpson varies . First, he seldom begins his variations with the theme head. Second, his variations concern rather abstract points, like key relationships. Third, he chops the theme up into bits and varies the bits. Fourth, he does sneaky things like turn the bits upside down. I also suspect one variation is another in reverse. I can't prove it, because I don't have the score.
The theme itself comes from some incidental music Nielsen wrote late in his career, around the time of the Sixth Symphony. I haven't heard the work in question and I'm an avid Nielsen fan. I suspect there's no current recording. Nielsen writes intriguingly in four keys at once, but so sure is the counterpoint and the orchestration, that you feel it more as different simultaneous modes of C major. Simpson keeps this feature through much of his score. The work falls into two large parts: the variations and an extended finale (also based on Nielsen's theme) that takes up nearly half the piece. The first part further subdivides into large subsections that cross the formal variation borders. We have the theme. Variations 1-3 stick pretty closely to the theme and to some extent stand separate from one another. Variations 4-7, however, just take off as an extended allegro, with Variation 8 a brief, lacy scherzo. The final Variation 9 is a gorgeous adagio, a mere three minutes – but what minutes! – solo cellos murmuring to muted trombones. The finale begins with a fugato and incorporates at least one more, both fugatos on different parts of the theme. It's another steady-pulse movement that seems to get faster and faster, wilder and wilder. The thematic bits whirl around like pieces of Kansas in the Wizard of Oz tornado. I also hear references to other Nielsen orchestral works tossed in. Wow! The four-key clashes become more and more violent, until at the very end, C Major has the final, brief word.
Obviously, this stuff poses problems for orchestra players. However, Matthew Taylor and the City of London Sinfonia sail fearlessly into the storm and ride the waves like real masters. Hyperion's superb engineering keeps Simpson's textures, particularly in the variations, clear enough to hear. Undoubtedly, one of the best CDs I will encounter all year.

Is it just us or are the publisher solicitations being announced progressively earlier with each month? Whatever the case may be, we've got links to the September 2013 solicitations and more in this week's News Round-up.
Chris Huntington on race, fatherhood, and superheroes
With Father's Day coming up tomorrow, we want to take this opportunity to share this New York Times article by novelist Chris Huntington where he writes about how the introduction of Miles Morales, the mixed-heritage version of Spider-Man in Marvel's Ultimate Comics line, has made it easier for him to share his love of comics and superheroes with his son. Here's an excerpt (but you really, really should read the whole thing):
I often forget our son is adopted. He's not the same color as his mother or me, which doesn't matter so much to us, but around the time he turned 5, he started talking about it. He pointed out that he was darker than me and darker than Barack Obama. He's the darkest person in his kindergarten class.
Why couldn't the superheroes in my comics look like my son? There was only 'The Black Panther' (not nearly as militant as his namesake, he wore a costume that did not show any brown skin) and Luke Cage, a Marvel blaxploitation character who wore a silk shirt open to his navel and told no one his real name because he had escaped from prison.
And then, in 2010, Marvel Comics presented a Spider-Man (the 'Ultimate' version) who was 13 years old and brown. To see Spider-Man pulling his mask over a tiny brown chin – to see a boy with short curly hair sticking to the ceiling of his bedroom— well, something happened. Dagim has been Spider-Man for two Halloweens in a row. He takes a bath with his Spider-Man and a toy killer whale. He has Spider-Man toothpaste and a Spider-Man toothbrush. If Spider-Man offered medical coverage, I think he would want that, too.
My son somehow understands that there is a Peter Parker Spider-Man, who is vaguely grown-up and my age, and a younger Spider-Man, closer to his age. That's just how Dagim likes it. He even understands that Peter Parker — like Superman, like Batman – wasn't raised by his birth parents. The best superheroes were all adopted like him.
I thought for a while that my son would never be interested in my comics. I was afraid they would just represent another club he couldn't join: all those big-jawed white guys with their hair parted to the side. But thanks to Spider-Man, my son imagines himself jumping on giant robots and saving the city. I hear him doing that behind the door of his room.
September 2013 solicitations
What time is it? SOLICITATION TIME! Below are the compiled links to the September 2013 solicitations as announced by BOOM! Studios, Dark Horse, DC, IDW, Image, and Marvel.
BOOM! Studios (click here to read the full and detailed list of solicited titles)
There are two new title launches in September from the Los Angeles-based publishing outfit—including a licensed comic based on FX's popular Sons of Anarchy television series—but perhaps the bigger takeaway from looking at BOOM!'s line-up for the month is that its core of ongoing creator-owned titles crafted by industry veterans is holding steady and the company isn't making the mistake of expanding its publishing portfolio too fast, too soon, as it seemed to be at the risk of doing at times earlier in its history.
Dark Horse (View and read the complete Dark Horse September 2013 Solicitation list here)
September 2013 sees the usual assortment of comic book goodness from Dark Horse, an eclectic mix of creator-owned comics, books from the Hellboy family of titles, Star Wars stuff, the latest Buffyverse comics, Conan stuff, a strong selection of manga imports, as well as offerings featuring the publisher's growing stable of original properties.
A couple of notable titles:
BUZZKILL #1 of 4
Toadies drummer Mike Reznicek co-writes this offbeat superhero comic that subverts the Popeye dynamic—according to the solicitation copy, "Ruben is not your average alcoholic; he's an unstoppable superhero who derives his powers from imbibing MASSIVE amounts of alcohol."
Sounds like a typical Saturday night at Comixverse Central.
Dark Horse isn't kidding when it calls this book "colossal." The hardcover clocks in at 1,264 pages and collects issues #0–50 of the publisher's original Conan series. We tried looking up the weight information for the book on Amazon, but it isn't available yet, although we're guessing it might be in the 7–10 lbs. range, at least. You could probably kill somebody with it if you swing it hard enough.
DC (View and read the complete DC September 2013 Solicitation list here)
DC is basically saying "I want all the moneys" with their "Forever Evil" event, putting out four decimal point numbered issues with "3-D motion covers" for each of the major New 52 titles. That's a lot of scratch to lay out if you're a loyal reader of even just one title, seeing as how your bill will jump from $3.99 to $15.96 for just one series. Good luck with that. We know from experience that it is possible to live on Cup Noodles for extended periods of time.
The Vertigo line-up looks solid, though.
IDW (View and read the complete IDW September 2013 Solicitation list here)
We just might die of a kawaii overdose with IDW's September covers. Even our hardened hearts, toughened by numerous D&D campaigns and botched FPS fiascoes aren't immune to the following images:
We're also digging Mat Santolouco's take on the Ninja Turtle design with his cover for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #26:
Image (View and read the complete Image September 2013 Solicitation list here)
It's probably not too daring a prediction for us to say that Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky's Sex Criminals will probably be the next Image title to benefit from a preorder/re-order bump due to an Apple/comiXology ban the same way Vaughan and Staples' Saga and Joe Casey's Sex did.
Image is absolutely killing it right now with as diverse a line-up of genres and creator-owned titles in play as we've seen from a publisher in a long time.
Marvel (View and read the complete Marvel September 2013 Solicitation list here)
It boggles the mind how many Avengers-branded titles there are now. It's ridiculous, really, but that's the superhero movie money changing the game, we guess.
We think Marvel's cross-promotion of the upcoming LEGO Marvel Superheroes game using LEGO versions of iconic covers is fun, though:
Somewhat tangentially relevant to the covers: A recent study to be presented later this year at a robotics conference in Japan notes that "LEGO faces are getting angrier."
Gary Friedrich, Marvel, likely headed back to court over Ghost Rider
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has just overturned the ruling rendered last year on Gary Friedrich Enterprises, LLC v. Marvel Characters, Inc., based on the Court's finding that the language of the contracts Friedrich signed in the 1970s granting Marvel ownership of the Ghost Rider character were "ungrammatical" and "awkwardly phrased," calling into question their validity and changing the legal complexion of the whole affair in the process. And yes, that means we're probably looking at the litigants going back to court over their dispute regarding the ownership of the character Ghost Rider. If you've forgotten what this was all about, or were never up on the details of the case in the first place, you're in luck because we've got a fairly comprehensive summary (with links to the most relevant court documents) at the following link:
- Leaving Proof 72 | Ghost Writer: The Ins and Outs of Gary Friedrich Enterprises v. Marvel Enterprises
And if you're done reading that, click on the following link to read our thoughts on the latest development, and what it could mean for Marvel and freelancers who worked for the publisher in the 1970s:
- Leaving Proof 190 | Ghost Writer, Redux: On the overturning of Gary Friedrich Enterprises v. Marvel Characters, Inc.
If nothing else, this will probably delay the production of a Ghost Rider "three-quel" starring Nicholas Cage, in which case we would like to offer Judge Denny Chin of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals our sincerest thanks. We don't know if we can handle any more of this:

Michael & Guy first opened its doors to the public in 1937. Back then Anthony Galea ran the business. Anthony Galea trained and worked in Paris professionally. Anthony then passed the shop to his son, Michael Galea. Michael trained and worked in London before taking over the salon. With Michael in charge the shop was refurbished and extended. Michael also took part in various competitions and was placed second by the Italian Academic Comity, Rome in Messina on the 12th January 1964 and also took home a trophy for ' PRES F.A.T.A Termini'.
Guy Galea, son of Michael Galea, was then the next to join the business and the salon was renamed Michael & Guy. After Guy's training, both Michael and Guy refurbished the salon once more by modernizing it. Nowadays you would also find Guy's sons Christian and Matthew working in the salon, both also helped in the newest extension of the salon and also travel internationally to participate in hairdressing courses, seminars and conferences. Michael &Guy hairstylists are very popular for hair shows and prepare the hair for many theatre productions. In fact they are the most experienced in this sector.

I thought I'd give you an update on our first few days in Qingdao.
We have been very busy moving in and buying start up dong xi (stuff) for our apartment.
We have had a lot of fun though, dreaming up each room and shopping.
We have also been busy with setting up our internet, water service, maid service, gas payments, and looking for furniture.
Our landlord's daughter's boyfriend (haha) speaks pretty good English and has been helping us a lot. Our landlord is turning out to be a great one! He has helped us with all the little details. His family took Zachary out to eat and took us shopping for furniture. We haven't quite found what we are looking for yet but have lots of ideas for our office. :)
Here is a few pictures of the things that we have purchased for our home thus far and a few peeks at our new casa.
So happy about this. :) We have a nice built in cabinet in our entry way with the perfect space for flowers. I was so excited to find a florist in our apartment complex. I was also super excited to find hydrangeas! And all the flowers are super cheap! Less than 30 cents per flower.
Well there you go! I took these pictures 3 days ago and already the apartment is looking much more put together and like home. I'll post more pictures soon!

Mistake #1: Not having a business plan
A Real Estate Agent is considered an Independent Contractor. Essentially this means you are starting your own business. Majority of Real Estate Sales Representatives have no clear goals or timelines and this is the reason why so many fail. Without a business plan or even a marketing plan, agents will spend way too much time and money doing things that do not add value to their business. By creating a business plan and reviewing it often, it allows you to identify your short and long term goals and how you plan on achieving them.
As Tom Ferry says "if it is not written down, it does not happen!"
Mistake #2: Expecting success to come immediately
Most Real Estate Agents come in to the business thinking that they simply get their license, tell their friends and family and then success just falls in to place. WRONG. It's a very harsh reality coming in to the business – you may even learn a hard lesson about who your true friends really are. Good things take time. It can take a few months to make your first sale and may even take a couple of years before you can make a comfortable living.
Mistake #3: Not having money prior to starting – no income buffer
Just like any other business owner, you need money to build your business. Just becoming a Real Estate Agent costs money in education and licensing fees. Agents may need to work part time at first, take out a loan or ask a family member for money. It is recommended to have at least 3 months worth of savings in the bank before becoming a full time agent. Brokerages should never encourage a new agent to go full time right away. It is better to make the transition from a part time agent to a successful full time agent – you still need to pay the bills and it could take a few months before you even receive a pay cheque.
Mistake #4: Not marketing in the right areas or underspending on marketing
Sometimes real estate agents will start overspending on real estate marketing in the wrong places such as newspapers, post cards, real estate magazines etc. thinking they will get their name out there to hundreds of people. While these can be great marketing tools if used the right way, it has been proven that majority of your business will come from your sphere of influence (family, friends, co-workers etc). The first thing we suggest when getting in to the business is writing down the name and contact information of all the people you know and putting them in to your database. Sending out an introduction mail-out to these people is the best thing you can do for your business in the beginning. Focusing on building your referral network in the beginning of your career will have strong results and does not cost very much.
Mistake #5: Not using the resources available to you
When entering the real estate world, you are essentially on your own. Take advantage of any resource that is around you whether it is your broker, your sales managers, your colleagues and other professional organizations and coaches. If possible, set yourself up with a mentor in your office. Your broker should be your best resource and their purpose is to help you be successful – ask questions, attend any seminars or webinars that they would suggest and read any articles that come your way. Knowledge is power!
Mistake #6: Choosing the wrong brokerage for the wrong reasons
The most important decision a real estate professional can make is choosing the right brokerage. The brokers purpose it to give support to their agents and guide them to have a successful career. A lot of agents are more focused on commission splits and monthly fees than they are on the training and support they will receive from their broker. We have seen it too many times where agents chose to go with the brokerage that offered them "100% commission with no desk fees" but they received no access or support from their broker and then they end up going to the brokerage that may charge more but offer more to their agents as well.
As the saying goes "you get what you pay for"… When it comes to your business, agents should choose a brokerage that cares about their agents success and treats them as a business partner. Some other brokerages will charge nickle and dime for paper, printing, private offices etc. and that's how they run their business. This is more like a landlord/tenant relationship. The also learn the hard way and receive a very large bill at the end of the year owing their brokerage thousands of dollars.
Choosing the right brokerage is essential and can absolutely have a big impact on your business.
Talk to a career advisor.
Mistake #7: Not asking the brokerage the right questions
Every brokerage is different in what they will offer you whether it be their commission splits, their training, expectations or their culture. As mentioned, most choose the company based on their split and this usually isn't the best route especially when you are new to the business.
Ask the right questions when you first meet them... for example:
1. What type of training do you offer your new and experienced agents? Does this cost extra?
2. Do you offer front desk services to your agents? Is this an extra cost?
3. Are there options to join a team or do you have to work individually?
4. What is your market share?
5. Do you have a contract? Ask to see their contract and have it explained to you. Is it easy to get out if you are not happy. Are there penalty costs for breaking the contract?
6. Do I have to pay extra for printing, telephone, paper, envelopes, staples etc?
7. Do you help me with listing and buyer presentations?
8. How do I get a hold of my broker of record? Do they take personal calls?
9. Does my broker of record or management staff sell homes too?
10. What does my commission split include?
11. How many agents are in the office? How much one-on-one time would I get with my broker?
12. Will you help me with marketing?
13. What can you do to help me be successful?
There are some ideas of questions to ask...
