Background Agricultural Connections
Agriculture is an important part of our lives, from what we wear to what we use in our classrooms and what we do after school. We may not always think of agricultural products as the physical source of the items or things we use everyday. However, most of these daily essentials can be tracked back to an agricultural source.
Production agriculture, or farming, is what most people think of when they hear the word agriculture. This is the actual production or growing of raw commodities. People typically categorized as farmers and ranchers are people who raise and harvest crops and livestock for consumption or purchase. It doesn't stop there. Production agriculture also includes a wide variety of specialties such as raising fish, timber, fur-bearing animals, herbs, and much more.
Many of the products we use every day come from agriculture. The sheets we sleep on and the pajamas we wear are made from cotton, just like cotton swabs for your ears. The feathers in pillows may come from chickens or ducks. The cereal and milk we eat for breakfast, the pencils, crayons, and paper we use at school, and the baseballs, bats and gloves we use after school all originate from raw agricultural products. We know that our food comes from agriculture, but we are also surrounded by and reliant upon many other inedible agricultural products that we use every day.
Interest Approach – Engagement
- Display six Agriculture Commodity Cards or pictures of six major farm animals or crops.
- Ask the students:
- "What do all of these have in common?"
- "What are some differences?"
- "Are there any similarities among the animals and the plants?"
- "Do any of these plants and animals produce food that you eat?"
- "What products do these plants and animals provide for humans to use?"
- "Where would you find these plants and animals?"
Activity One
- Discuss the information contained in the Background Agricultural Connections, then pass out the Matching Product to Source activity sheet. Students should match the product with its agricultural source.
- Answer Key:
- Timber: paper, pencils, potpourri, houses
- Dairy Cattle: cheese, ice cream, yogurt
- Cotton: blue jeans, paper, shirts
- Flowers: perfume, potpourri
- Wheat: spaghetti, tortillas, cereal
- Answer Key:
- Read Farming by Gail Gibbons aloud to the class and highlight the sources of the agricultural products mentioned in the book. Point out the different plant and animal habitats found on the farm and compare their survival needs.
Activity Two
- Discuss with the students other products that come from agriculture.
- Hand out the Alphabetizing Agriculture activity sheet. Discuss the bold-faced heading words to ensure the students' understanding.
- Discuss the vocabulary words to make sure students are familiar with each agricultural product.
- Review the skill of alphabetizing. Have students write the vocabulary words in alphabetical order on the lines under each heading. (This could be a homework exercise with parental input). Answer key:
- After students complete the alphabetizing exercise, they should complete the Word Find.
- Review terms found in the Word Find and ask the students to either identify what agriculture commodity the item comes from or to identify what items the commodity produces. For example, butter comes from dairy cattle and sheep produce wool that is woven into socks or sweaters.
Concept Elaboration and Evaluation
After conducting these activities, review and summarize the following key concepts:
- Agriculture provides the basic necessities of life; the food we eat and the items we use every day.
- Animals produce milk, meat, and eggs for our diet.
- Plants produce fruits, vegetables, and grains for our diet.

Essential Links
Enriching Activities
Download the Farm To Cart game from American Farm Bureau. Divide the class into two groups to play the game.
Have the students make mosaic pictures about agriculture using seeds (wheat, corn, soybeans, etc.). These seeds can be obtained from a farmer, local grain elevator or some hobby and craft supply stores. Help the students identify each seed before starting the art project. Ask students to draw a simple agricultural scene on poster board. Spread glue in just one section of the picture and add seeds. Continue to spread glue in sections one at a time, and add seeds until the picture is complete. Let the picture dry thoroughly before moving it. Allow time for the students to share their mosaics with the class and explain how their picture represents agriculture.
Using a wall map of the United States, ask students to think about agricultural products grown or raised in certain parts of the country (examples: Florida and California-oranges, Gulf of Mexico-seafood). Ask the students to consider why the products are produced in these locations? Have groups draw the products or cut pictures out from magazines to attach to the classroom map.
Adopt an Agriculturalist. Many teachers find it educational to have someone involved in production agriculture "adopt" their class. The students correspond regularly with the farmer or rancher's family to practice writing skills and learn about the day-to-day operation of the farm or ranch. The family may send photographs or videos, grain or feed samples, and other items from the farm or ranch. In turn, the students can write to the family to ask questions or react to what they have learned. Before students are involved, the teacher and family should set goals for the program. Establish a regular correspondence schedule to keep students interested. Invite the farm family to visit the classroom or schedule a field trip to the farm.

Microsoft Corporate Blog Policy
By Deane Barker on June 17, 2003
Microsoft Blog Policy Coming Down the Pike?: A few weeks ago, we wondered when this would happen. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, given that the GotDotNet blogs are hugely popular and Sun has launched its own blog site.
Some Microsoft employee blogs are hosted on the company's GotDotNet site. But the majority are not, and are built and maintained by individuals in their own free time. Some Microsoft blogs address the usual personal matters: books read, movies seen, restaurants visited. Others are all about the finer points of writing managed code using .Net. Most seem to fall somewhere in between.
Where does the corporate reach end? Never before has it been so easy to disseminate information. Where does the line between employee and private citizen end? Go read The Cluetrain Manifesto for one opinion.

How much do you know about multiroom installation in Fleetwood? In the old days, setting up your TV involved getting on a roof and fiddling with the aerial while someone inside the house yelled directions about the quality of the signal. Getting the right clarity was an arduous task, and once the aerial settled into position, you still weren't done. Any gust of wind, rain, or even a bird looking for a perch could interfere with your signal. When we made the switch to digital, it seemed like all that drama was done. Digital signals are thought to be stronger, more stable, and more reliable than terrestrial ones.
That said, if you live in Fleetwood, multiroom installation may not be as simple as you'd imagine. You may have solved the problem of tweaking the wires on a roof, but you still have to find the right decoder, or choose between a satellite dish and a set top box. If you're unfamiliar with these devices, you need to work with someone that can give you the right advice. They can tell you the differences between receivers, and recommend the best one for your location and entertainment set-up. In the average home, one of the biggest fights is who gets control of the remote. If you get a multiroom TV system, it's no longer an issue because everyone has their own screen, as well as their own controller.
Multiroom installation in Fleetwood solves the expensive and unnecessary challenge of having more than one set-top box. When you work with an expert like L. Wilson, you will get a customised installation system that can connect to as many TVs or domestic screens as you want, all piggy-backing off the same digital receiver. You may be unsure of the best way to link everything up, but we've been at it for 18 years and we'll walk you through the process. When you'd like a multiroom installation, contact Aerials and Satellite TV. Your household members can each watch their favourite show simultaneously, and your only worry is exactly how many TVs you're willing to buy.

R&R Love+Relationships: Wallflowers, Put Your Hands Up! Part 1
I've always been somewhat of a wall flower when it comes to night life. When I first dealt with this topic here, I was 25 and teetering on the edge of the appropriate age range for clubbers (which is about 18-25) so I still was feeling a little pressure to go to clubs even though I wasn't interested. It was what young folk are supposed to do and beyond that, I was under the misinformed impression that clubbing was the way of choice to "make yourself available" and thus "get a man". Since I've gotten older and more of my peers have joined me in leaving the clubs to college freshmen and other youngins, I've had the opportunity to delve deep into the reasons why the club scene never clicked with me: I never understood clubbing rules and politics
One of the most confounding "rules" to me was the late arrival thing. Say a club is having an event and the doors open at 9pm. Well, I was usually with the punctual crowd that actually got there at 9. How was I to know that when you say "doors open at 9pm" you really mean "don't get there until midnight because that's when everybody else will be there"? I'm very literal when it comes to stuff like time, so when you give me a time, I'll be there at that time. I also didn't appreciate the lies about free soul food buffets if you get there by a certain time...the last thing you need to do is lie to me about food. I'll be pissed for the rest of the night, as I usually was when I was sitting up hungry at a club due to this marketing scam. Then there's the whole VIP thing, which is just another marketing scam that basically has you paying twice the amount to get in just to stand behind a velvet rope or worse behind crime scene tape. I always used to feel sorry for people who were actually fool enough to pay for the VIP upgrade. You're dancing to the same music and looking at the same people, but you just paid double for it! Now on to the guy-sends-you-a-drink thing...I usually just avoided this because that one's ridiculously complicated! If you take it, then dude gets mad because you took the drink that he paid for and didn't give him whatever he expected that he didn't actually verbalize to you. If you don't take it, then dude gets mad that you rejected the drink that he paid for that you didn't ask for...I'd rather you just come up and talk to me to get to know me, but of course you can't hear with the music at 10,000 decibels. Or with stuff like this distracting you. I've had experiences that left lifetime scars
As most women probably can attest to as well, I've had some interesting experiences with guys that I could tell were regular club goers. I've been told by a young man with extremely caustic breath that I looked like a sexy librarian that was out of place. Sooo...does that mean I look smart? I was also accosted by a man who wouldn't accept that I had a boyfriend (I didn't, just wanted to get him out of my face), handed me a business card that said he owned a crematorium, and followed me until two big bouncer guys scared him away. At least he gave me well wishes that I wouldn't need his services too soon. Oh and to those of you who think it matters if an event is "upscale" versus regular clientele, it doesn't. These shenanigans happened regardless of what types of people the advertising was designed for. I guess people of all education levels and income brackets drink a large glass of coonjuice before heading out to the club.
I've come to accept that dry humping is synonymous with dancing
What happened to the days when people danced face to face? If you even attempt to dance with a guy in this manner in the average club, they will turn you around by your shoulders and some even take it a step further by trying to bend you over...bend you over! Remember when I was told that I look like a sexy librarian? That happened as the couple beside me sexed through their clothes. Complete with the guy pushing her legs behind her head. But you know, they were pretty modest since they had clothes on. It is now possible to see all out nudity and real sex in the club. Go to World Star Hip Hop to find plenty of examples.
I realized extremely quickly that if you're looking for a LTR (Long Term Relationship), the club is pointless
Because everyone assumes that you're shopping for meat just like they are. From the first time I ever went to a club atmosphere I sensed the pretense of who's-gonna-be-my-one-night-stand-tonight in the air and it stank. Worse than sexy librarian guy's breath.
Next Friday's post will explore suggestions I've gotten for alternatives and how viable they are. In the meantime, are you a wallflower? How do you maneuver the social scene as someone who doesn't care for clubbing? What are some of your worst ( and best) experiences? Tell me in the comments!

Boron-Templated Dimerization of Alkenes and Hydrolysis
We have been interested in using metal catalysts to simplify complex procedures and boost the yield of key pharmaceutical reactions. Our most recent discovery is that cinnamyl alcohol reacts with phenyl boronic acid, copper (II) triflate as a catalyst, and PPh3 as a ligand, forming an addition of allyl and hydroxyl groups across the double bond. This bond is typically difficult to form and signifies a significant advancement in synthesis of complex molecules. The optimization of this reaction will bridge the gap between simple molecules and complex pharmaceutical compounds. Hypothesis: That this reaction can be useful to the community by making complex medicinal compounds cheaper and more available to common individuals.

After the final examination,I received a letter from my aunt and uncle who invited me to stay with them for a fortnight.The news brought me a restless night.The next morning at ten,I reached their home and I was kindly received by them.They prepared a very nice and airy room for me.Just coming inside,on a small table I found a vase of roses---my favourite flower.I thanked them for their kindness.When they told me to take a rest,I really could not do so.My attention was drawn by the charming and picturesque scenery outside the window.If I were an artist I would have drawn a wonderful picture of it.
Every morning we took a walk in the neighbouring hills where we could enjoy the fresh air and sweet songs of the birds.We gathered wild flowers here and there among the bushes,I found it full of fun.In the afternoon I mostly spent my time reading or writing,for I was shut in the house by the terrible beat.The evening was the only time we could go to swim together.I improved my swimming during those two weeks.
Though the fortnight passed away at lightning speed,the memory of it will last forever.

In his speech assessing the state of the economy, Bernanke has two great paragraphs.
First, he recognizes that the household sector is unusually weak, and that this is the essence of the Great Recession:
One striking aspect of the recovery is the unusual weakness in household spending. After contracting very sharply during the recession, consumer spending expanded moderately through 2010, only to decelerate in the first half of 2011. The temporary factors I mentioned earlier--the rise in commodity prices, which has hurt households' purchasing power, and the disruption in manufacturing following the Japanese disaster, which reduced auto availability and hence sales--are partial explanations for this deceleration. But households are struggling with other important headwinds as well, including the persistently high level of unemployment, slow gains in wages for those who remain employed, falling house prices, and debt burdens that remain high for many, notwithstanding that households, in the aggregate, have been saving more and borrowing less. Even taking into account the many financial pressures they face, households seem exceptionally cautious. Indeed, readings on consumer confidence have fallen substantially in recent months as people have become more pessimistic about both economic conditions and their own financial prospects.
And then, contra to what many business leaders and politicians say, the corporate sector is going good:
Compared with the household sector, the business sector generally presents a more upbeat picture. Manufacturing production has risen nearly 15 percent since its trough, driven importantly by growth in exports. Indeed, the U.S. trade deficit has narrowed substantially relative to where it was before the crisis, reflecting in part the improved competitiveness of U.S. goods and services. Business investment in equipment and software has also continued to expand. Corporate balance sheets are healthy, and although corporate bond markets have tightened somewhat of late, companies with access to the bond markets have generally had little difficulty obtaining credit on favorable terms. But problems are evident in the business sector as well: Business investment in nonresidential structures, such as office buildings, factories, and shopping malls, has remained at a low level, held back by elevated vacancy rates at existing properties and difficulties, in some cases, in obtaining construction loans. Also, some business surveys, including those conducted by the Federal Reserve System, point to weaker conditions recently, with businesses reporting slower growth in production, new orders, and employment.

NOTE: This post was inspired by two things. One, a dope article I read last year by Michael Harriot on www.NegusWhoRead.com, a website that I highly recommend. Two, the following tweet from ESPN's Jemele Hill, someone who's opinions and takes I hold in high regard.
Today we honor the life and work of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Personally, I consider him to be one of the finest humans to walk God's Green Earth because of his courage to fight against injustice and racial inequality, two notions woven ever so tightly in to the fabric of this great nation. I love how his day is celebrated with jazz concerts, re-orating his famous "I Have A Dream" speech and a nationwide day of community service. What I don't love is how we've managed to pussify King's legacy, whitewashing his accomplishments as if the man's life wasn't in constant danger. While you may have learned one of his speeches in school (along with that ridiculous song) did you learn that the FBI referred to him as "the most dangerous Negro of the future of this nation," which lead to them tapping King's phones and spying on his every move. They even sent him letters, threatening to disclose his extramarital affairs if he didn't give up his fight for justice. Sure we exalt him for leading the Montgomery bus boycott that made racial segregation of the city buses illegal, but let's remember that during the boycott, King's house was firebombed and he went to jail for two weeks under some bullshit law on the books. And yes, we all know he was assassinated (albeit under the most conspiracy theory circumstances ever), but don't forget that he called his own death, knowing he wouldn't see the movement to fruition. You know you're a bad man when you can see your own demise on the horizon and walk right towards the light, unafraid of the consequences.
That's what kind of man King was; unafraid. He didn't get the opportunity to become a gray-haired old man who spent his remaining years in a robe and slippers sitting in a rocking chair on his porch telling old war stories; so how about we quit acting like that's how he went home to the Lord. Also, please miss me with that fake woke nigga take about how you're "more Malcolm than Martin." We all know most of us wouldn't bust a grape in a racial fruit fight and we'd be twice as frightened to march for anything knowing that we could either be beaten half to death, sprayed with a fire hose, or that a police dog could chew one of our asscheeks off.
While we're still on the subject here, yo Biloxi, Mississippi, what in the entire fuck is this?!
Put some RESPEK on King's name please! And for the love of God, quit making these damn flyers:
Dr. King wasn't spied on, jailed and murdered so that y'all can get in the club free before 12, SMH.
Today, let's remember the real Martin Luther King. The one who came to Alabama to preach God's word and ended up leading the nonviolent movement for change. The one who used his platform to advance the cause of Black Americans and not his own. The one who, when they examined his body after his death, found his heart to be in the condition of an elderly man, even though he was only 39. The one who had a dream, that even in 2017 unfortunately, is not yet fully realized.

Who needs strikers? 5 talking points from Man City 1-4 Liverpool
Paul Wilkes manned the Etihad Stadium press box to report back on a brilliant evening for Jurgen Klopp's Reds...
1. Coutinho enjoying life under Klopp
When Philippe Coutinho was linked with Real Madrid and Barcelona earlier in the season, many Liverpool supporters felt it was a little premature thanks to to his lack of consistency. The Brazilian had scored only three goals in his final 18 appearances under former coach Brendan Rodgers, but now already has four in his last three matches for new boss Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds magician was superb from the start, as he linked up cleverly with Emre Can on Liverpool's left side. When Joe Hart put Bacary Sagna under pressure with his clearance to the right-back, it was Coutinho who reacted quickest as he closed the former Arsenal man down and nicked the ball away before setting off towards goal. The playmaker slipped in his countryman Roberto Firmino, who cut the ball back into the box where Eliaquim Mangala couldn't adjust his feet in time and duly knocked it into his own goal.
Coutinho was a constant threat due to his positioning and tenacious energy without possession. He seems to understand his manager's demands and is carrying them out perfectly.
2. You don't need strikers to score goals
Liverpool found themselves 3-0 up with only a third of the game played, as Klopp's team blew City away with their speed in transition
All the pre-match talk concerned the fitness levels of Sergio Aguero and Daniel Sturridge, while Christian Benteke was surprisingly named among the substitutes by Klopp. Firmino had occasionally played as a central striker in Germany, but the adaptable attacker is certainly no natural in the position. His mobility enables him to play off the last defender and his tactical awareness ensures that he creates space for others by either dropping deeper or dragging defenders wide.
"He could train 10-12 days with us without interruption and that's very important, the same as Coutinho," admitted Klopp in his post-match press conference. Trevor Francis couldn't comprehend Klopp's decision to use Firmino ahead of Benteke against Chelsea, so Britain's first £1 million man will have been surprised by this scintillating display.
The movement and interchange between Coutinho, Firmino and Adam Lallana was outstanding, and the midfield runners' eagerness to charge into the area caused Manchester City numerous problems. "It was the reason we played like this; with the formation, we tried to bring as many players onto the pitch who had trained together," added Klopp.
The two Brazilians combined for the second and third goals, with each claiming a goal and an assist. Liverpool found themselves 3-0 up with only a third of the game played, as Klopp's team blew City away with their speed in transition.
3. City need more striking options
With five minutes remaining, Sterling arrived at the back post only to completely miss the ball
With Wilfried Bony injured, Aguero had to start, according to Manuel Pellegrini. But with the expenditure made by City, it's not unreasonable to expect greater options. Former forwards Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic are currently in fine form in Italy, while Alvaro Negredo can't even get in the matchday squad for Valencia after a disagreement with coach Nuno (plus injury, more recently).
Aguero obviously wasn't at his best as he tried to force his way into the game, but it was a typical finish from the Argentine for City's goal; he used his acceleration to race into the box before unleashing a brilliant shot with very little backlift that gave Simon Mignolet no chance.
Young forward Kelechi Iheanacho looked around in almost disbelief, as Pellegrini called him back to the bench when he was warming up. The academy product came on for City's talisman after an hour and was used alongside Raheem Sterling towards the latter stages of the match. With five minutes remaining, Sterling arrived at the back post only to completely miss the ball. Cue the travelling supporters asking their former idol about the score.
4. Moreno shows his defensive ability
He first shackled Jesus Navas, then kept Kevin De Bruyne relatively quiet in the second half
Liverpool have struggled at left-back for a considerable amount of time, and they appeared to have solved the dilemma when they bought Alberto Moreno from Sevilla. The Spaniard had attracted the attention of Real Madrid before his move to Anfield, but he struggled in his initial adaption period. He wasn't helped by Rodgers' wish to use him as a wing-back, though he did show his capability in attacking areas.
However, at the Etihad Stadium Moreno was brilliant in a defensive capacity, as he first shackled Jesus Navas, then kept Kevin De Bruyne relatively quiet in the second half. His fantastic positioning was illustrated in the 17th minute, as he twice intercepted the ball thanks to a combination of loose passing from City and his own anticipation.
He wasn't the only transfer committee signing to prove his worth when utilised correctly: German midfielder Can also had a huge impact, most notably when he pulled off a sublime backheel into the path of Coutinho in the build-up to Liverpool's third goal.
5. Fernandinho crucial to City's midfield
The Brazilian has been superb this season and had been the only City player to start every league match before this encounter. With Klopp renowned for his high-energy approach it was a shock to see the box-to-box midfielder named as a substitute, as Yaya Toure and Fernando were given the task of protecting the defence. They failed to do so, as Liverpool continuously found space between the lines and had bags of time which enabled their players to turn with ease before setting off on direct counter-attacks.
Fernandinho and Fabian Delph's introduction at the break was an admittance that Pellegrini had got both his team selection wrong and that they were being out-powered in midfield, even if he wouldn't admit this after the match. "I wasn't happy with the performance of 11 players, not only Yaya and Navas," the Chilean claimed.
Toure may have left the field after only 45 minutes, but he still made the third-highest amount of passes. It was the Ivorian's mobility – or lack of – that seems to have forced his withdrawal. Pellegrini described the match as a "complete disaster" but refused to single out individual performances. "I think it's very important to talk to the players as soon as you can, it's not normal (the result), we must think about what we have in the future."
- This game saw Man City concede three goals in the first half of a competitive game at the Etihad Stadium for just the second time (2-3 vs Man United in the FA Cup in Jan 2012, the other).
- Eliaquim Mangala's own goal was the first one City have conceded at home in the Premier League since Pablo Zabaleta scored one in August 2014, also against Liverpool.
- Philippe Coutinho has scored more goals versus Man City than any other Premier League team (4).
- Martin Skrtel has scored four goals against Man City in the Premier League, more than against any other side.
- Sergio Aguero became the top-scoring South American player in Premier League history (85 goals).
- This is only the second time that Man City have conceded four goals in a competitive game at the Etihad (Man City 2-4 Aston Villa in the League Cup in September 2012 the other).
- It's the first time they've conceded four at home in the Premier League since February 2003 to Arsenal (when they played at Maine Road), having lost 5-1 that day.
- Liverpool have scored as many goals in their last two away Premier League games (7) as they managed in their 11 before that.

Ceiling leaks are quite devastating and can get you panicking when it happens. Maybe you have not been cleaning your gutter, or you have taken too long to realize that the roof shingles are missing. Here, you will find out the steps you can take when your ceiling is already leaking.
Remove items under the dripping area
If it is furniture, rag, TV or the bed in your bedroom under the leaking, you would definitely not want it to be soaked. Fold your sleeves and get things moving. Move those items to a dry spot even if it is at the corner of the room. This could really help to save your valuable belongings.
Unmovable items should be covered
Say you have a Bösendorfer piano in your living room that is experiencing ceiling leakage, what could you do? Move it? Bearing in mind that it took more than five men to deliver it. Instead of straining your back on something that you can hardly move, you can start by covering it. Use water proof material such as plastic covering to ensure not a single droplet reaches your precious item.
Catch water
You cannot do any fixing during a storm but a dripping ceiling is not something you can possibly ignore. What should you do? Easy, get out that pail that you hardly use and position it under the leak to catch all the dripping. You will first want to dry the soaked floors to ease movement around the house. Depending on how fast it fills, you will need to empty it when it is full. If you have a large trash can, you are in luck because it will not fill up that quickly.
Relieve heavy pressure
At times, water leakage does not take place because there is no opening to drain the water. This causes water to build up and is seen as a swelling in the ceiling. Such a situation poses danger of ceiling collapse. You rather have a dripping ceiling than one which is almost falling on you. Therefore, take a sharp object and poke the center of the swelling to allow water passage. Protect yourself as you do this. You could use an umbrella while you are working on it.
Call in the expert
After getting things under control for the moment, make a call to a professional to get your roof fixed. Repair is not an easy task and can be quite dangerous if you do not have the right experience and gear for the job. Leaking could make you desperate but still, be composed and call in the right guys. Ensure you do some asking around or googling to find the perfect agency for the job. Check out for experience, qualifications and the guarantees offered by the specialist, and that way you will not have to worry.
If you want to place a claim, make sure you make copies of the insurance documentation. You may also need to call up a professional cleanup for mold or rotting wood removal. Once your roof is back to normal, never forget to carry out regular inspections.

5 Articles to Inspire Customer Experience Success
Customer experience today means everything. With retailers announcing seemingly on a weekly basis of store closings, experience is more important than ever before.
Many companies think of customer experience, however, as a flashy marketing campaign, a cool social media outreach effort, or putting associates through a one-time training program. To do customer experience right, everyone might be responsible for delivering on it and be held accountable for its success or failure. Experience must be woven through the culture and delivered consistently across channels.
For some inspiration, I've highlighted five recent customer experience articles from CX experts:
In, "If You're not an Experience, You're not a Brand. Period," Brian Solis makes that case that without experience architecture in place, brands are leaving opportunities on the table, as meaningful experiences are more important than ever.
In "Embrace the Negative Review," Shep Hyken gives two good reasons why negative reviews aren't so bad. In fact, they're an opportunity to show your company's srengths.
Don Peppers also discussed the power of negative reviews in "The Upside of Negative Reviews." Negative reviews, he said, provide important feedback in the same way customer service complaints provide feedback, allowing organizations to improve your product or service offering.
In "3 Really Difficult Ways to Create Great Customer Experience," Jay Baer lays out three primary areas where companies can exceed expectations, on the road to delivering great customer experience: speed, authenticity, and relevance.
And in "Stop Thinking in Channels and Start Thinking in Settings and Scenes," Ray Wang maintains that with the advent of internet of things and customer experiences, omnichannel is not good enough for digital. The design point must deliver on channel ubiquity across a wide variety of settings and scenes. Why? Digital customer experiences.
What's your secret to customer experience success?

This is one of my favourite Greek dishes. Using everything you'd associate with the region to create a simple and delicious dish which is all on one tin. What could be simpler? The thing about this dish that makes it truly special is the aroma it spreads around your house. There is no other smell I like more than the smell of cooking lamb.
1-1.5kg Lamb leg (boned)
1 lemon (juice of)
3 large potatoes (peeled and cut into 3cm wide slices)
3 cloves garlic (cut into 1/3s)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons dried oregano
salt & pepper
Season the lamb with salt and pepper and olive oil on all sides and then stab the flesh all over with a sharp knife. Insert pieces of garlic into the flesh. Place in a roasting tin and arrange the potatoes around. Pour the lemon juice over the meat and potatoes then pour 1/2 cup water around the outside. Sprinkle the oregano over the meat then roast in the oven for 50-60 minutes for medium 60-70 minutes for well done. Add a little water if it dries out too much during this time. Remove the meat, cover and rest for 5-10 minutes. Make sure the potatoes are soft, if not, cook for a further 5-10 minutes until they are. I actually had to cook the potatoes for a full 30 minutes more which is a mystery to me that they took 1 1/2 hours to soften!
Serve the potatoes alongside slices of the meat with any juices from the roasting tin. I served this with some crusty bread as I couldn't be bothered with the washing up of more than one pan tonight.

Murray Landowner Fined $10,000 for Illegal Land Clearing
A Shire of Murray landowner recently pleaded guilty to illegal land clearing at the Mandurah Magistrates Court on 30 July, 2015.
The owner cleared vegetation within and outside the building envelope on a special rural property without planning approval under the Shire's Town Planning Scheme No.4.
The landowner was fined $10,000 and ordered to pay an additional $3,000 towards the Shire's legal costs.
"The Shire hopes that this case highlights the severity of illegal land clearing and deters others from clearing vegetation on their property without planning approval," said Chief Executive Officer Dean Unsworth.
The removal of vegetation on any non-residential property within the Shire of Murray requires planning approval from the Shire, as well as approval from the Department of Environment, unless exempt for fire protection. Failure to do so can result in fines of up to $200,000 per offence.
The Shire of Murray is centrally located within an internationally recognised and protected biodiversity hotspot, where unlawful clearing of vegetation can be very damaging to our fragile environment.
For more information on land clearing please contact the Shire of Murray's Environment Department on (08) 9531 7777.

NCSU researchers predict quiet hurricane season
The Atlantic hurricane season will be quieter than average, researchers at N.C. State University predicted Monday.
Only four to six named tropical storms will form in the Atlantic basin, including the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, between June 1 and Nov. 30, according to Lian Xie, professor of marine, earth and atmospheric sciences at NCSU. That compares to an average of about 11 named storms per year since 1950.
Of the named storms, Xie said, one to three may grow strong enough to become hurricanes, and only one may become a major hurricane, with sustained winds of 111 mph or higher.
Xie bases his predictions on more than 100 years of historical data on the positions and intensity of Atlantic hurricanes, as well as other variables such as weather patterns and sea-surface temperatures.
Last spring, Xie's prognostication was spot on. He and his colleagues predicted eight to 11 named storms, with four to six becoming hurricanes and one to three major hurricanes. The season actually produced nine named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes.

Whoever Says You Learn Only Good Things From Losing Someone Is Lying
When I blew out the birthday candles surrounded by my family, the one I was born with and the one I chose, I knew what I was going to wish for. I held my hair back and I closed my eyes. In that instant I felt the weight of every moment that brought me to 25. My black boots were firmly set on ground that had seen me take my first steps. I am 25, a bit broken hearted, a bit healed, a layered human being whose strengths and baggage live side by side.
I am so many "I'm so sorry your mom died" and so many eye rolls that I internally made afterwards. I am the resilience that comes with having to rebuild your life every time you lose someone. I am the scars that don't fade with time, but instead become more visible on your skin as tans fade and years pass.
I've learned to light candles alongside the path I walk because I've learned that more often than not life pushes us back a few steps and knowing how to put one foot in front of the other is sometimes the only thing that gets us through. Having a light on reminds us that we've been there before, that we conquered this then and will conquer it again.
And, so, with that comes the reality of the ways a 15-year loss weighs on a 25-year-old's life. For years, I was told to look at the strength that comes from losing my mom, but what the world doesn't tell you is that there's a weight with loss that doesn't sink 6 feet under, it stays on the surface. For me, it's on the surface of my skin, in the way I interact in relationships, in the ways that surrendering is the hardest thing for me to do.
It's in the way I grow smaller when I feel like I'm being abandoned or ignored. It's in the way I overcompensate when I feel like my voice isn't being heard. I lean on control like it's the gas and my speed limit just went up to 200.
Losing someone is your biggest reminder that you can't control anything and your biggest challenge to try.
Subconsciously, I've been trying my entire life. Moments that I should have let space and breath into were suffocated by my need to find something that would work. Sometimes, nothing works...like actually, doing nothing, works.
Standing still, sitting on your hands, and breathing deeply, can be more healing, can vanish more dark clouds, than using all your energy to blow the clouds out of the sky will ever do.
Breaking yourself open as you sit on a bed with someone who you know loves you can be more anchoring than any other moment that year because it reminds you that you're human and flawed.
I grew up in a world that was so aware that I had lost my mom that it made me uncomfortable because sympathy and idolization are close cousins. One helps to heal, the other strips of humanity.
Walking into adulthood, I used writing to make sure I didn't trip on the idolization and remained human. But I've still tripped, I've still - subconsciously at times - believed the hype that somehow losing my mom gave me the wisdom to bypass the hardships that come with being 25. It made me feel invincible and exist in an alternate reality than the one I'm living in.
The reality is that losing my mom didn't only hone my strong skills it also magnified my fears and anxieties.
I learned to spot gaps and I learned how to fill them, and sometimes I learned how to fill them the wrong way.
I aced getting through my first period, college applications, and the two pregnancy tests you automatically take after the first time you have sex because getting your period is never enough proof.
I made mistakes during my first big fight with my boyfriend; figuring out my relationship with my brother as we grew up, when we didn't have a mom to navigate it for us; the time I had a health scare and didn't know where to turn, so I dug myself deeper into loneliness.
I have issues with control, surrendering scares me, I know too much about ICU floors for a girl who took one biology class in college, I cry when Tyler leaves on trips, I pray out loud and treat God like he's my homie because we've been through some shit together.
I'm the furthest thing from perfect and I haven't only learned good things from losing my mom and it's okay. I have bad habits and deeply anchored fears and realities I sometimes have to make amends for, and that's okay too.

R. J. Corman Railroad Services: Responding to Belt Railway's Call
R. J. Corman Railroad Services had been working for several days performing belt tie replacements. On Saturday, November 19, 2016, R. J.

It doesn't come as a huge surprise that both of these key events feel rather underwhelming, thanks to a very singular plot having to be shared around a large cast of characters, most of who have no personal involvement other than association with Star Lord.
If you boil these first four issues down to the barest bones of plot, you have a quest for vengeance against Peter Quill, with only Gamora standing between him and death. There's also someone seeking to destroy Drax, as well as the vaguest mentions of some relationship strife between Peter and Kitty. Oh, and there's a mysterious artifact that needs opening, but no-one cares about that right now. Only half of the starring characters in thus book are actively involved in the ongoing storylines, the rest (including The Thing) only serve to clutter the book and slow down the storytelling.
This isn't good. Rocket Raccoon and Groot were the breakout stars of superhero movies in 2014, finding an audience and a fanbase that, frankly, no-one expected. They should be, if not central to the book, absolutely embedded in storytelling. And yet, you could remove them from the story told so far without disturbing anything. The same goes for The Thing, and absolutely for Venom. Although, to be fair, Venom does break Hala's staff in this issue, his first active contribution to the story.
Guardians of the Galaxy seems like the perfect summation of the state of whichever incarnation of Marvel NOW we're on right now. Without a genuinely interested and interesting creator at the helm, what should be a flagship Marvel title cruises along without much of a direction or identity, relying on a horde of variant covers to keep it in the top 50.
Even the art from Valerio Schiti, supported by Richard Isanove, previously a reliable element of the book, feels off in this issue. During the argument scene on the spaceship, everyone is depicted as contorted, screaming their dialogue when the writing conveys a scene brimming with tension. I called out Schiti's tendency to veer towards the extreme in the first issue, and it diminishes the first half of the book.
I find myself that Schiti would get into some detailed fight choreography. He resorts to big explosions sending people flying twice, and devotes an entire two-page spread to Hala and Gamora crashing through buildings. Yes, it's big, widescreen action, but Gamora is the most dangerous woman in the galaxy. She's a fierce and vicious hand-to-hand fighter. I'd have been over the moon if the double-page splash had been replaced by a series of panels showing the two of them fighting, with Hala being victorious. It would have sold her threat more, and shown that Gamora is no pushover. Which, given that she's spent most of this volume being beaten up or being unconscious, is the way she'd be seen right now.
Four issues in, and I'm finding this book lacking focus and drive. Perhaps the shift in storytelling from Hala to the Destroyers will give this title a shot in the arm.
Until I catch-up to month of publication, I'll be able to refer to the sales charts to take a look at how well this book is performing. Guardians of the Galaxy #4 was 35th on the sales charts for January 2016, a rise of 2 places. Sales in North America were estimated to be a little over 46,215, aof approx. 7412, or 14%.

"Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" is the eleventh episode of the second season of Community and the 36th episode overall. The episode originally aired on NBC on December 9, 2010 as a stop motion Christmas-themed episode.
At lunch on the final day of classes, Abed believes that the upcoming Christmas is the most important Christmas ever due to his perception of the entire group as stop-motion animated. While the group is worried about Abed's mental health, he decides to commit to the format, singing along to a Christmas version of the show's theme song until he is tasered by campus security in the parking lot while jumping on top of cars.
In a meeting with Professor Duncan alongside Britta and Jeff, Abed rejects Duncan's proposal for extensive therapy sessions to discover the cause of his delusion in favor in searching for the meaning of Christmas. While Britta and Jeff worry about Abed potentially being expelled from school, Duncan is more interested having his work on Abed's case published. After working on a snowman outside, who is revealed to be Señor Chang, Abed is tricked into a group therapy session in the library study room with Duncan, Jeff, Britta, Annie, Shirley, Troy and Pierce. He agrees to allow Duncan to use "Christmas-nosis" to transport him to the Planet Abed with the entire group.
Upon arriving on the Christmas-themed planet, Abed sets out with the group to find the meaning of Christmas at the North Pole, but Duncan insists that they first visit the Cave of Frozen Memories. Along the way, Duncan ejects Shirley from the fantasy with a remote-controlled Christmas pterodactyl after she insists that she already knows the meaning of Christmas, while Jeff is eaten alive by a swarm of humbugs attracted to his sarcasm. Arriving at the Cave of Frozen Memories, Duncan asks Abed to access his repressed memories, but in the process of demonstrating the technique to Abed reveals that his father was absent from his childhood Christmases and leaves the fantasy distressed. Abed initiates a self-destruct sequence and leaves the cave with Pierce, Troy and Annie, but asks Britta to leave the fantasy because she tricked him into therapy.
Arriving on a train to the North Pole, Pierce leaves the fantasy after having eaten all of the cookies in the study room. Abed talks about how his mother comes to visit on December 9 every year and watches Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with him. However, he is confused when Troy reminds him that the date is December 9. Duncan arrives on the train and tells Abed that he knows the reason for his delusion, but Abed climbs to the top of the train and races to the front of the car, with Annie and Troy stopping Duncan from chasing after him. Pierce returns to Abed's fantasy, saying that the Christmas season is depressing at home by himself.
The two arrive at Santa's workshop at the North Pole, where Abed finds a package that he believes to contain the meaning of Christmas, but actually contains a DVD set of the first season of Lost, which he says symbolizes lack of payoff. Duncan returns and shows Abed a Christmas card from his mother that he found in his dorm room, in which his mother tells him that she won't be visiting him for Christmas this year in order to spend the holiday with her new family. Upon hearing this, Abed is frozen in a block of ice. However, the entire group returns and shoots their Christmas guns at Duncan before ejecting him from the fantasy with a Christmas pterodactyl, which subsequently self-destructs. An unfrozen Abed says that he realizes, "The meaning of Christmas is the idea that Christmas has meaning. And it can mean whatever we want."
The group leaves the fantasy and returns to the study room, where they agree to keep the stop-motion fantasy going through the holiday. They later watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer together in Abed's dorm room, and a reflection of the real-life characters is seen in the television.
The episode was written by series creator Dan Harmon and Dino Stamatopoulos who portrays Star-Burns on the show. The episode was also directed by Duke Johnson. The episode was made in the style of Rankin/Bass' stop motion Christmas specials, such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindee] and Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town.[1] Dan Harmon stated in an interview with TV Guide saying "There's a reason for it to be stop-motion animated, but it's not a dream. It still exists within the reality of the show.".[1]
The production of the episode was overseen by owners of 23D Films, James Fino and Joe Russo (not to be confused with Joe Russo, a director and executive producer on Community). The animation process was completed in four months, less than half the time it takes to produce an episode of The Simpsons. Fino said animators of the films Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas also contributed to the animation. On August 1, 2010, creator Dan Harmon informed Dino Stamatopoulos and Joe Russo that NBC had approved the idea of an animated episode. Two weeks later, Harmon and Stamatopoulos finished the script, and the art department began production on the sets and puppets. Animation began on October 18, though a week later they discovered Pierce is in a wheelchair, and had to add a stop motion wheelchair. One day prior to airing, the completed shots were handed in by 23D Films. Russo said about the project, "We wondered if we could do it. But we knew we'd regret it down the road if we weren't part of this, producing a special episode of a really cool show."[2]
In its original American broadcast, "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" was viewed by an estimated 4.295 million viewers receiving a 1.9 rating/6% share among adults between the ages of 18 and 49. The overall viewership was adjusted down for NBC due to NFL game local broadcasts in Indianapolis and Nashville.[3] The episode tied with the rating from the previous episode, "Mixology Certification".[4]
The episode received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics. Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club rated the episode with an A, commenting that "What "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" gets that very, very few Christmas specials or episodes have gotten in the history of the medium is the fact that, ultimately, this holiday, more than any other, is intensely personal."[5] TV Squad writer Maggie Furlong called the episode "as touching and poignant as this show has ever been".[6]

As the Ebola epidemic claimed thousands of lives across the border to the south in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, Mali recorded just a single case of the virus. It was carried by an infected two-year-old girl, who had been brought by her grandmother from Guinea, travelling 1,200km (745 miles) by bus and taxi with the feverish child. She died in hospital in the city of Kayes on October 24th

For the past 6 years, on a weekend in August, Santa Rosa has been the convening point of people all over to talk about, to learn about and to try, fermented foods.
This past weekend was that time, and purveyors and lovers of all things fermented gathered to celebrate this ancient method of food preservation at the Farm to Fermentation Festival. I got a crash course in fermentation when attended a few years ago, which I wrote about here and this year was just as enjoyable.
This year, I attended two of the many lectures offered. I learned about how to make yogurt from Janet Fletcher, local author of several books including her new book, Yogurt. I was surprised at how easy the process was- heat milk, add a bit of yogurt, and then rest at a certain temperature for a given length of time.
In Lynda LeMole's lecture "Fermented Medicine," I learned more about the health benefits of fermented foods and how they interact with our bodies. She demonstrated how to make Fire Cider, and explained the dizzyingly long list of its benefits, ranging from being an anti-inflammatory to helping nausea. We all tried a sample of it, which burned my throat but I could easily see how it would kill any germs or illness. I was excited to take the recipe and make a batch myself at home.
After leaving Lynda's lecture, I sought out my husband, who was in the Libation Lounge. I'm not a big drinker, but he had already tried all the samples of beer and cider, and directed me to the ones he thought I'd like the best (so thoughtful, right?). I really enjoyed a strawberry saison from Woodfour and a pour Moonlight Brewing that was made with redwood instead of hops.
Back in the vendor hall, we checked out samples of all things fermented- from cheese to pickles to bread to chocolate. I was excited that there were samples of natto, fermented soybeans that are very traditional in Japan. I had heard some horror stores about the dish, but wanted to try it. I found them quite delicious, and much different from other ferments like pickles or sauerkraut.
The chocolate samples were of course very popular, both from companies Firefly and Cacoco. I really liked trying 4 different types of drinking chocolates, and came home with a box of Cacoco's 'Original' to make some of my own at home.
Make sure to keep an eye on the Farm to Fermentation website for next year's date, or follow them on Instagram at @farm2ferment- it's an event not to be missed!

Many conservatives point to California as a bastion of sexual immorality. This is partly because of the reputations of cities like San Francisco. But they seem to forget that the sexual offender situation in Texas is much worse.
That's right—Texas, the land of football, Jesus, and the right to bear arms. According to the report compiled by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, there are 78,869 registered sex offenders in Texas. California, on the other hand, only has 74,857.
What's more, since the population in California is bigger than Texas, the number of offenders per 100,000 people is considerably higher in Texas. The national average is 246 sexual offenders per 100,000 residents. In Texas, that number is 314, but California is below average at 201.
Searching through the Texas Sex Offender Registry
If you wish to generate a Texas sexual predator list, your first stop is the TX sex offender registry maintained by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Then there are several ways to search. Just keep in mind, though, that the registry will no longer display the offender's employer name, address, or phone number.
- If you know the sexual offender's name, then just enter the first and last name. Then you can add additional info, such as the birth date, sex, and race. You can also indicate the county location.
- On that same page, you can click the address search. Here, you can type in your address and it will generate a Texas child molester list of offenders who live near you.
- You can also search sex offender registry by zip code in Texas, as well as by county or by the college the offender went to.
- As an additional service, you can also download the entire Public Sex Offender Registry for free. There are some requirements, however, and anyone who does download the list will have their name posted on the website.
- Operators of social networking websites may also access registration info which can help identify sexual offenders online.
Why Should I Map Sex Offenders in my Neighborhood?
This is for your security and safety. Statistics show that sexual offenders may sometimes commit the same offenses, and it would be risky to let your children play near the home of a known sexual criminal. That's what happened to Megan of Megan's Law—she was victimized by a neighbor who was convicted of a sexual crime.
The right to lookup sex offender by address in TX, however, must never be abused. The point is to keep potential victims like women and children safe, and not to harass ex-convicts who have served their time.
Despite the cast number of sexual offenders in the state, most areas do not have many offenders in one small area. The sole exception, according to Homefacts.com, is Loving County in West Texas. You may want to think about that if you plan to move there.

Stream Anime Galaxy Angel AA Episode 51-52 Online English dub Final dish REBECCA (part 1) ~ The Angels are sent to find an escaped convict who was sentenced to a 2000 year sentence for murdering 1/3 the population of planet Transbaal 500 years ago. The convict's name is Rebecca and, despite the crime she was convicted for, there seems to be no picture of her. What little information they can gather about the escape leads Forte, Ranpha and Mint to an abandoned satellite above Transbaal. Arriving, they find a recently used ship, but no life signs. After more investigating, Kokomo and Maribu inform the Angels that Rebecca was documented as being incarcerated in a cell that was already occupied. The occupant then died, but no one had ever been assigned since, leading Mint to the conclusion that Rebecca never existed and that she could have been a cover up for a military accident.
Final dish REBECCA (part 2) ~ After discovering that Rebecca may not be real, Forte, Ranpha and Mint are ambushed on the satellite. Meanwhile, Milfeulle is attacked by the prison guard who stood watch over Rebecca for years. Once Vanilla disarms him, he confesses that Rebecca is real and that she led a very sad and lonely existence. After fighting for some time, Forte realizes that Rebecca is actually the incarnation of the hatred the people of Transbaal felt after their world had been set aflame. Vanilla and Milfeulle learn that the archetype for Rebecca was a young female soldier who knew the people needed a scapegoat and offered herself to be one. They locate the scapegoat's prison (a grave) and take the casket to the Satellite. The scapegoat is awakened and cries out to Rebecca. Rebecca is shocked to see her true form and even more so when she is embraced by her. Overwhelmed with grief, Rebecca relents and vanishes. The scapegoat is returned to her prison for the remainder of her sentence. As the Angels leave they pray that the world is a better place when the scapegoat's sentence is over and she is free once more.
