Pine Cosabella Women's Molded Bra Soire ykibsi5020-Everyday Bras
Plush Vegan Cashmere Reversible Beanie Grey OS
Brazil is one of the largest economies and the fifth most populous nation in the world. It is also one of the largest global meat producers and exporters, which has made it a particular focus for our work. Over the last several years, our Humane Society International farm animal protection division has worked with large corporations and retailers to introduce and implement more humane policies for the welfare of animals in Brazil's food supply chain.
This week, in yet another great advance, Walmart, the country's third largest retailer, announced that it will sell only cage-free eggs by 2028 in all of its 471 stores in Brazil. This move has the potential to spare millions of egg-laying hens a life of extreme misery, in which they are confined in (battery) cages so small that the birds can barely move or stretch their wings. In 2016, Walmart made a similar commitment for its stores in the United States and Canada after working with us.
Among other successes in Brazil, last year, Carrefour, the country's largest retailer, committed to sell only cage-free eggs in its 670 stores. Just yesterday, pasta and baked goods manufacturer M Dias Branco, which has 30 percent of the market in Brazil, announced a cage-free commitment by 2025. And earlier this week, Premier Pet, a major pet food company, announced a cage-free commitment for hens by 2025 – the first pet food company to adopt this policy in Latin America. Last year we worked closely with Premier Pet to launch its first dog food line made exclusively with cage-free eggs.
Other companies we've worked with to secure commitments for 100% cage-free policies include leading baked goods companies such as Pitcairn Islands Flag Winter Thermal Cycling Jersey for Women, Pivaconis Womens Beauty The Beast Princess Cosplay Halloween Party Show Dress and Ofner, the country's third largest pasta manufacturer Pivaconis Women's Long Sections Autumn Winter Cashmere Casual Baggy Pea Coat, Brazil's largest gourmet chocolate chain Pivaconis Womens Striped Slim Business Formal OL Blazer Skirts 2PCS Suit Set, a major food service provider Grupo Lemos Passos and one of the largest food processors in the country, Aurora.
Multinational corporations, including PIYOGA Women's Petite Athleisure Yoga Pants, Short Straight Leg (US 010), Brazil Fast Food Corporation, PJ Harlow Cindy Rib VNeck Swing Tank Cindy, and PJ Harlow Women's Charlie Rib Racerback Tank PJ2006 (Medium, bluesh), have also worked with HSI to announce cage-free egg policies in Brazil.
In addition to these cage-free victories, HSI has made tremendous strides in ending the use of cruel gestation crates in Brazil. This week, Pamplona, one of the largest pork producers and the fifth largest pork exporter in the country, committed to phase out the use of gestation crates by 2026. That commitment will alleviate suffering for more than 40,000 sows from this intensive confinement.
In 2014, we persuaded BRF, the country's largest pork producer, to phase out its use of gestation crates, followed by similar commitments from JBS, the world's largest meat processing company, Aurora Alimentos and Frimesa. These companies together account for 58% of the animals in Brazil's pork supply chain, so the impact has been huge.
HSI and its partners are also working with more than 200 civil society groups, including environmental groups, health groups, consumer groups and animal protection groups, throughout Brazil to promote Meatless Monday to their constituencies, as a way to reduce the suffering of animals in factory farms.
We are excited by the progress we've helped to secure in Brazil and we congratulate Walmart, Premier Pet and Pamplona for their willingness to adopt reforms for farm animals. Increasingly, consumers are pressing for changes in how animals used for food are treated. Businesses that make the decision to end cage confinement and other objectionable practices are not only contributing to making our world a more humane place, they are also making a smart business choice that will pay off for years to come.

I had never made that connection before. (And, yes, I watch too much tv). However, I'm rectifying that situation thanks to a certain novelist.

Freeing Our Minds From White Supremacy
We were taught that we were inferior and this penetrated our psyches for generations. This isn't something that you just "let go"; just forget about it and move on from.
[Education: Commentary]
The bombardment of negative images over the many, many years through all types of media has done severe psychological damage to people of African ancestry.
This constant, ongoing dilemma continues to plague people of African descent and perpetuates the Black inferiority complex that so many of us suffer from.
We despise and avoid any connection to Africa; in doing this we despise and avoid our existence. I totally agree with Malcolm X, as he recounted in the speech "You Can't Hate The Roots of a Tree, Without Hating the Tree," that there is no way we can say we love ourselves and hate Africa.
The damage is so severe that some of us will do whatever it takes to change "the skin" that we're in. We have been taught to hate ourselves by the inhumane treatment we've received at the hand of White oppressors and there is a desperate need to find a way to escape the damage that's been done.
These conflicting thoughts cause cognitive dissonance that we now must try to resolve by denying who we are and where we came from. Reading the self-loathing comments of Keith Richburg and Mayotte Capecia, in Milton Allimadi's book, "The Hearts of Darkness; How White Writers Created the Racist Image of Africa," caused me to shake my head in disbelief.
According to Richburg, his ancestors were spared from remaining in barbaric contemporary Africa when they were mercifully taken into slavery and in his eyes this was seen as a blessing. Capecia expressed her dismay at not being born white. It sounds farfetched that a person of African ancestry would have such outrageous ideas but this is all too common and expressed in many ways. This is a sign of the mental disorder that we all experience daily.
Thinking back to my own experiences growing up here in the United States there was no discussion of Africa or identifying with being an African. It wasn't until I saw Roots by Alex Haley on television that I began to see a connection to Africa. Ironically, it was my teacher, a White male that encouraged the class to watch it.
Being made fun of because of my dark complexion hammered at my self esteem. There was no positive reinforcement or relationship to Africa until I had a summer job as a teenager at the Uhuru Sasa Shule, in Brooklyn, New York, an African cultural institution. I learned more about African culture and this was very uplifting and planted a seed within me.
What we suffer isn't by chance but by design. We were taught that we were inferior and this penetrated our psyches for generations. This isn't something that you just "let go"; just forget about it and move on from. This is something that requires deep seated healing and a determination to free oneself from the bondage of the debilitating words, images and inhuman treatment of Africans over the centuries.
I have been learning to recognize the mental disorders that all of us suffer from because of White supremacy. The healing begins with accepting that I am an African and my roots are in Africa. This is an ongoing, lifelong process; one that involves an inner awakening, recognition and a determination to daily love myself.

From 1989 to 1995 Billy West helped launch his career on The Howard Stern show bringing us some amazing voices and also some outstanding impressions, most notably and Howard's favorite, Larry Fine of the Three Stooges. Well, the talented and funny voice over actor may not have much to speak about in the near future.
"Good new everyone!" 20th Century Fox recently announced that they have ordered 26 new episodes of Futurama, the popular cartoon based 1000 years in the future, to be aired beginning in 2010. The success of DVD sales and re-runds on Comedy Central have brought the show back into popularity and prompted Fox to make a move. Billy West was a key role in the shows production, voicing over four of the shows main characters and a countless number of additional voices. Why is this so significant for Mr. West?
Fox has entered production of the show with a certain budget ($75,000) for the voice over talents. The problem is the actors can't come to a salary agreement with Fox that will make both parties happy. Fox says it will begin going through the process of recasting the voice over talents since an agreement can't be reached.
"We love the 'Futurama' voice performers and absolutely wanted to use them, but unfortunately, we could not meet their salary demands," 20th Century Fox TV said in a statement. "While replacing these talented actors will be difficult, the show must go on."
Fox has also gone this route before during some tough negotiations with another popular cartoon, "The Simpsons". The studio had threatened to replace the voice talents on the show when it couldn't come to an agreement with the actors. Auditions for replacements were about to begin but an agreement was finally made with the actors.
So who will be the voice of Philip J. Fry, Professor Hubert Farnsworth, Dr John Zoidberg, Captain Zapp Brannigan and many others? Billy West hasn't made an official statement to the public about the situation but I'm sure the former Stern show personality isn't happy with the situation. The wouldn't be the first time Mr. West has had a problem with being compensated for his work. In 1995 Billy West reportedly left the Howard Stern show because WXRK/CBS management refused to give him a sufficient pay raise. Billy is greatly missed by Stern show staff and fans.
It has recently been confirmed that Billy West and the rest of the original cast of Futurama will be joining the show as it returns with new episodes to be aired on Comedy Central next year. Apparently a salary deal has been struck with 20th Century Fox and the cast joined creator Matt Groening at Comic-Con last week to sign autographs and help promote the return of the show. Good news all around for Futurama and Stern show fans of Billy West!

Keys to surviving high-risk traffic stops
By Dave Smith, Senior Street Survival Instructor
& Betsy-Brantner Smith, Street Survival Instructor
On September 1st, 2009 Patrolman Chad Spicer and Corporal Shawn Brittingham of the Georgetown, (Del.) Police Department were on patrol when they heard a general broadcast detailing a shooting that had just occurred in the parking lot of a nearby McDonald's restaurant.
They quickly located a Chrysler Sebring with 20-year-old Christopher Reeves at the wheel and initiated a short pursuit before the vehicle abruptly stopped in the Kimmeytown neighborhood of Georgetown. According to news reports, Brittingham and Spicer's cruiser stopped alongside the suspect vehicle with the passenger door of the squad car next to the driver-side door of the Chrysler.
Reeves fled on foot but sitting in the rear passenger seat was Derrick J. Powell, armed with a handgun. Neither officer had time to exit the cruiser before Powell began firing on them, striking Chad Spicer in the cheek. The round exited below Spicer's left ear and bullet fragments struck Brittingham in the neck.
Powell then fled on foot while a third passenger, Luis Flores, reportedly stayed at the scene and attempted to render aid to Patrolman Spicer, who later succumbed to his injuries after being transported to the hospital. Chad Spicer is the first Georgetown police officer to die in the line of duty and he leaves behind a young daughter, his parents, and a community in mourning.
Thankfully, Corporal Brittingham is expected to make a full recovery.
High risk traffic stops are extremely dangerous. Four other American police officers have been killed this year during traffic stops, two of them during known to be high-risk situations. One of the best ways to honor these heroes is to review them with the intention of remembering how we can keep ourselves safe under the worst circumstances.
- Criminals are unpredictable, so recognize that any high-risk stop is going to be an extremely fluid situation. As detailed in Chuck Remsburg's book Street Survival: Tactics for Armed Encounters, when stopping a vehicle occupied by known or suspected felons, call for back up, even if you're in a two-man car. Try to advise dispatch of your exact location, direction of travel, and where you want the other units positioned.
- The positioning of your own vehicle is critical. Because the suspect vehicle may suddenly turn, leave the roadway, or abruptly stop, you need to maintain enough distance to safely maneuver or stop your vehicle while maintaining a visual on the suspect's car if they begin to flee. If the suspect does hit the brakes suddenly, you should also stop and be prepared to reverse quickly, staying at least 30 feet back.
- Get your weapon (handgun, shotgun, or rifle) ready before you come to a stop and try to pull the car over in a place of your choosing. If you're in a two officer vehicle, it's the driver's responsibility to position that cruiser to give each officer the equal opportunity to use that vehicle as effectively as possible for cover. If you're by yourself, it's a good idea to cant the vehicle to put as much of the engine block as possible between you and the suspect's vehicle.
- Don't get sucked into the thrill and the momentum of the situation; use time and distance to your advantage. Get to and maintain cover (which may mean staying in your patrol car) and be prepared to back up even further to keep distance between you and the threat. It's our instinct to want to rush in, but don't. And above all, don't get trapped. As back up arrives, if lighting and cover allow, consider the use of a flanking officer to create a classic L-ambush situation.
- Use strong, powerful verbal commands to get the suspects to leave cover and come to you or a designated colleague. Once you think you have everyone in custody, have a tactical plan to safely clear the vehicle, including commands to unknown hidden suspects who may still be in the vehicle. Remember that time is generally on your side at this point, again, don't rush in.
It's been 39 years since the senseless murder of four young CHP officers during a high risk traffic stop in a restaurant parking lot near Newhall, CA. Remember the lessons learned from that terrible day and honor the sacrifice of all law enforcement heroes, past and present, by training, sharing, and working hard to keep each other safe.

|One of our two new Hereford bulls in with the ladies (and some of their new calves).
|A palisade on a back road in Pulaski County.
Our boys preferred to stay home and watch a movie and, with cell phone in hand, we set off solo. It is always a chance for us to talk, one on one, and we really hadn't had this opportunity for a while without some kind of interruption (it's summer vacation, after all!). Our favorite way to "off road" is to not take a map (OK, well on longer trips we do bring a Kentucky Gazetteer for backup). As I have a built-in understanding of maps and direction sense, and only usually need to look at a map once or twice to absorb its spatial relationships (yes, this is an idiot savant skill I seem to have been born with), my husband has learned to trust this about me. Doing this kind of "off-roading" (or off-mapping?) is not being afraid of making the wrong turn or the thrill of the wonderment of where we might come out. I rather live my life this way, too: taking many roads and exploring new ones around the constant fixture and presence of home and family. And, as long as I can catch a glimpse of our little "monadnock" here, Green River Knob, I always know where we are.
This same phenomena occurred when we lived back in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire, too, as wherever you go, or soon nearby, you can see the great mass of Mount Monadnock as both a presence and beacon. These geographical fixtures define our places and provide an odd kind of security, too. When we are on top of our knob looking out and I see Green River Knob watching over us to the west, I always find it rather comforting. There is wisdom, truth and solace in the hills around us.

Sorry, I Love You
I'm sorry.
There, I said it. Again.
Do you even remember how many times I have uttered those words to you? Yeah, I know, it's just too numerous to mention one by one. Countless as the stars they are, but you know them all. And you know the odd thing about you? You ALWAYS forgive me. It doesn't matter how little or how monstrous my shortcomings are. I even denied you before, remember? But it seemed so insignificant to you. You are always there, waiting. Waiting for me to turn to you. You're just unbelievable, really.
Your love and kindness simply emanates in everything around me. Yet I always break your heart. And you know how many times I cried because of that. Yes, I did cry A LOT because of you. But the amount of teardrops I shed cannot seem to drown my transgressions away. I always lose myself. I always forget about you. In my mind there is this enduring battle between knowing what's right and doing the opposite. I cannot seem to win.
And I know that you know how my guilty conscience eats me up big time. Ever since I've truly known you, I realized my 'guilt meter' is always on a high. It sucks, you know. Of all the feelings in the world, it's the one I hate most — being guilty about you. Yet why do I always hurt you? Why do I always fail you? It's making me mad. And heck, you are still so crazy about me it's so mind-boggling. I'm not even deserving.
I love you. I am truly, madly, deeply, crazily, deliriously in love with you. Help me become a better me. Help me, please.
Again, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. My God, please forgive me.
P.S. And really, I'm sorry for not using capital Y all throughout this article or else my readers would immediately recognize I'm talking to You. Er, it's the surprise factor, as you probably know.
P.S. 2. Happy Valentine's Day lovely peeps!

You will be able to relax and organise your time just as you wish.
Whether you're after windsurfing, fishing, hiking, horse riding or mountain biking, you will find them all at Big Bear Lake.

Ronda Giangreco: Fighting multiple sclerosis one Sunday supper at a time
Ronda Giangreco couldn't have been happier, or seemingly healthier, when she returned to her Sonoma, Calif., home from a trip to Italy in July of 2008.
A self-described "foodie," Giangreco had been to cooking school in Italy and was full of ideas for the entertaining she so loved to do.
On July 26, Giangreco and her husband, Michael, spent a glorious day wine-tasting with friends in the nearby Napa Valley.
The next day, she was disabled, felled by a case of sudden-onset multiple sclerosis, a disease that affects the central nervous system by disrupting the flow of information from the brain to the body.
The same disease that, years earlier, had claimed the life of her mother.
Giangreco shared her story when 400 Denver-area residents gathered at the Grand Hyatt Denver for Women on the Move, the annual fundraising luncheon put on by Colorado-Wyoming chapter of the National MS Society.
Giangreco described how she vowed to fight the disease, for which there is no cure, via good nutrition and good fellowship. Literally, one meal at a time.
"Told that I might not be able to walk much longer, I asked myself: 'Where should I walk right now?' " Her answer: To the kitchen.
"I have always loved to cook," she said, "but when I made the audacious vow to my husband that I would create a big Italian feast every Sunday night for an entire year as a means of warding off this disease, he thought I had lost my mind."
Thus, "With steaming plates of pasta, I would attempt to triumph over multiple sclerosis, one week at a time."
The weekly gatherings apparently were a success, for today Giangreco remains mobile, energized and eager to face each new day as an ambassador for the National MS Society.
She refers to her diagnosis as a "blurse," a blessing and a curse, in that the down times are made easier by the fact MS also enabled her to fulfill a longstanding dream of becoming an author.
Her book, "The Gathering Table: Defying MS with a Year of Pasta, Wine & Friends," details her dinner parties. It enjoys brisk sales.
The luncheon also was the occasion for chapter president Carrie Nolan to present the inaugural Spirit Award to Marc Spritzer, director of CoBiz Advisors, CoBiz Financial's business development division.
"We are honored to recognize Marc for his outstanding commitment to the community," Nolan said. "He is a passionate individual and leader. His dedication to making connections and fostering relationships has benefited our community, and the lives of people living with MS."
Spritzer's community involvement includes serving on the boards of the Denver Health Foundation's Level 1 Society, the Downtown Denver Partnership, the Jewish Community Foundation and CAMA, the Colorado Advanced Manufacturing Alliance.
The Spirit Award was made possible by support from Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
CBS4 anchorwoman Karen Leigh emceed the luncheon planned by David Alexander of David Alexander Design; Paige Burkeholder from Premier Trade Solutions, Inc.; Daya Haddock of TIA, Inc.; Melissa Hart, a University of Colorado law professor; Katy Spritzer, who is with the Dividend Capital Diversified Property Fund; Ellen Petrilla of Vision Care Specialists; and Claudia Curry Hill of CCH Connection.
Brandt Wilkins, chairman of the chapter's board of directors, helped the committee members welcome a crowd that also included former Colorado Supreme Court Justice Mary Mullarkey.

Headless Goat Spotted Near 31-Inch Sweet
By Joanna Sugden
Gallery owners exhibiting at this year's India Art Fair in New Delhi were making sales in the first few hours of the event Friday, raising hopes that the Indian art market is showing signs of a revival.
Aicon Gallery New York City, for instance, sold its first work, a piece by Modernist S. H. Raza, for $200,000 to a private collector based in the U.S. on the preview day of the fair Thursday. "It's off to a pretty good start," said Andrew Shea, the gallery's director. "This fair will be a big indicator of the health of the Indian art market."
Mr. Shea said the atmosphere was more hopeful than at last year's fair, where galleries struggled amid slowing domestic economic growth and global woes. Sales of contemporary art have yet to return to levels see before the downturn in 2008, said Mr. Shea.
This is the fifth edition of the India Art Fair, formerly called India Art Summit, which takes place alongside gallery openings and speaker events until Sunday.
Some of the most popular works on display at the international galleries had a distinctly Indian flavor.
Daniel Besseiche, a French gallerist, said he had already sold a painting of Mahatma Gandhi by Bangladeshi artist Shahabuddin Ahmed for $24,500.
Another eye-catching item he is showing is "Wrapping Bonbon Drapeau Inde," a sweet, 31-inches long, painted with the Indian flag by Jenkell Laurence. It is on sale for $16,300. Mr. Besseiche said he had five interested buyers though they want him to lower the price. To which he responds: "I won't budge."
Jannis Markopoulos from Frida Fine Arts of Berlin was exhibiting a work by Georgian artist David Datuna, which was made from photographs behind hundreds of spectacle lenses. From a distance the work, "India View Points of Millions," looks like the Indian flag.
Although the gallery was yet to make a sale when India Real Time visited Thursday, Mr. Markopoulos said he was optimistic.
"This year people are handling the art, they are talking about the prices, they are talking about the reality of buying it more than they did last year," Mr. Markopoulos said.
At Mumbai's Gallery Maskara Pvt. Ltd., one work was drawing particular attention but not, the gallery owner admitted, because people were seriously considering buying.
"Glimpse of Thirst" by Indian artist Shine Shivan is the stuffed body of a decapitated goat wearing a set of false teeth where it's head used to be and a jacket made out of human hair decorated with dozens of real chicken heads.
"This is about pushing the language of sculpture," said Abhay Maskara, the gallery owner.
The piece is selling for $13,130 but serious buyers had yet to come forward.
"There's a tremendous amount of interest in the work," Mr. Maskara said. "The question is, 'Do you have the courage to take it home?"

As the title says, I'm almost new to Java and by that I mean I have attempted it before without luck and having forgotten most of the principles since then, I'm trying again now.
I originally was using the tutorials provided by Kilobolt as they were quite engaging since they were about making games (which is my eventual goal) but something came up and interfered with the time I had available to learn. The Kilobolt tutorials were good but not entirely about Java itself so I have decided to start from basics again.
I seem to have a lot of trouble just starting the learning process this time, trying to find a tutorial I can do (or at least stick to). The tips I've found online (cant post links, shame really they are interesting reads) have pointed out some failings in myself, one of which is that I'm trying to learn all by myself via books, text tutorials and videos, by joining this community I'm hoping to engage with others in a way that gets my mind working and actually understanding the fundamentals of java, examining others code and building my own with any luck.

AUSTIN, Texas - The Santa Clara University women's soccer team advanced to the final match of the 21st NCAA Championship with a 2-1 victory over the University of North Carolina in the second College Cup semifinal, hosted by the University of Texas at the Mike A. Myers Stadium.
Santa Clara earned its 20th win of the season, as the team improves to 20-4-1, while North Carolina's season ends at 21-2-4. The Broncos will face West Coast Conference rival Portland, 2-0 winners over Penn State in the first semifinal match. The championship contest will take place on Sunday, December 8 at noon Pacific Time. The match will air live on ESPN.
The All-WCC final will mark only the third time in College Cup history where two teams from the same league will face off for the Championship, joining UNC vs. Duke in 1992 and UNC vs. NC State in 1988. On Sunday, Santa Clara has a chance to become only the second team in women's soccer history to win back-to-back championships.
Santa Clara struck first, scoring on its first and only shot of the first half, at 9:30. Senior Devvyn Hawkins played a ball to sophomore Bree Horvath, who redirected to junior Veronica Zepeda. Zepeda dribbled around one defender before taking her shot, low and to the far post to beat North Carolina keeper Jenni Branam for the 1-0 lead.
Reminiscent of last year's game, North Carolina countered immediately, but its goal was once again called off for an offside violation. Just minutes later, UNC's Anne Morrell posted a header that beat Bronco netminder Alyssa Sobolik, but freshman defender Micaela Esquivel made a diving save to preserve the lead.
North Carolina was aggressive, taking nine shots after the Broncos' goal. The Tar Heel's seventh shot of came in the 36th minute, equaling their total in the entire contest during last season's championship contest.
Santa Clara's second shot of the game came in the 57th minute, but senior Aly Wagner's shot was stopped by Branam. It was the start of a more aggressive Bronco attack, as SCU posted five more shots in the period.
Zepeda found the back of the net again in the 72nd minute. Junior reserve Kristi Candau was chasing down a ball near the corner of the box when Branam came out and punched it away before Candau could take a shot. Branam pushed it to a waiting Zepeda, who scored her fourth goal of the tournament, and seventh on the season. The fourth tournament score tied a Santa Clara record for goals in a NCAA Tournament, as Wagner achieved the feat last season, and Mandy Clemens set the precedent in 1999.
North Carolina countered with its first score in the 79th minute, with its 17th shot of the contest. Lindsay Tarpley scored off a rebound from a Cat Reddick shot to avoid its first two-goal loss in 17 years. The last time North Carolina has lost a game by more than one goal dates back to the 1985 Championship, when the Tar Heels fell to George Mason 2-0, a span of 425 games.
Additionally, Santa Clara improved to 22-0 in NCAA Tournament action when scoring two or more goals.
Today's match marked the fourth time Santa Clara has met North Carolina in the national semifinals. It also marks the Broncos' third victory all-time against UNC, and third straight, becoming the first collegiate team to defeat the Tar Heels on three straight occasions. North Carolina still leads the all-time series 13-3.

Easing the Learning Assessment with Blackboard
The Blackboard online environment offers many ways to incorporate both formative and summative assessment techniques in your courses. Consider the following ideas.
Create online tests for frequent self-assessment
Although this type of assessment activity requires a bit of up-front work, it pays off over the long term for you and your learners. The idea is to create pools of questions that can be presented to learners in practice tests based on the text, classroom presentations, discussions, and supplemental readings. By taking these self-tests, learners are exposed again to the important concepts in the course; they get to see what kinds of questions you write; and they get important feedback about areas in which they're weak. Consider these more as a learning tool for learners than as a grade-assigning tool for you, but they do need to carry some weight if you want learners to take them seriously.
Post assignments to the discussion forums
When a learner submits an assignment, you can have him post that assignment to the Discussion Forums also. Obviously, this technique works only if the assignments are all unique, such as reports, term papers, projects, and stories. (There's not much point in having 34 copies of the same thing posted.) The advantage of this suggestion is that learners are more likely to reflect on their own work if they see other examples of the assignment from their peers. Most instructors who have tried this suggestion claim that the quality of the work improves when learners know that their peers will see it.
Use a virtual classroom or chat for "oral exams"
Just as you would meet individually and face-to-face with learners during office hours, you can use the synchronous communication tools in Blackboard to do it. What areas are good for oral exams? Any foreign language works well, as do fields in which a learner might be expected to have a reasonable amount of factual material "off the top of her head" for quick retrieval. To use the Chat functions for assessing learner progress, have learners sign up for specific times to meet with you online, and then generate a variety of questions from which you can select to pose to them. Just remember that not all learners are equal when it comes to typing ability, so you have to be clear that you're grading on quality, not quantity.
Use a rubric for discussion forum postings
Rubrics are scoring guidelines that allow instructors to assess student work. If you're concerned about requiring learners to participate in discussions because of the subjective nature of the activity, create a rubric to use for scoring. It gives learners a better sense of what you expect and helps set the tone for messages within the forum. Some examples of criteria might be how well organized the posting is, whether it includes original thinking, whether claims have supporting evidence, and whether all parts of the question are answered. Points can then be assigned in each category for excellent, good, fair, poor, and unacceptable, with a final score that totals all these numbers. With a large class, this process can quickly become overwhelming, however, so you might consider scoring only a randomly selected set of responses for each learner, instead of rating every posting for every learner. Learners will appreciate knowing how they're being graded, and you'll feel better knowing that you're following the same criteria for everyone.
Set up learner groups for projects
With Blackboard, the group members can have their own discussion forum, their own file-sharing environment, their own chat area, and they can easily send and receive e-mail within the group. Getting together in person becomes suddenly less important than it was before. In addition, the problem of a learner not pulling his weight in a group (the "lazy" problem) can be minimized because the teacher is, by default, a member of every group. As the instructor, you can readily determine who is doing what by simply reviewing the group's discussion forum, identifying who's writing, and participating in real-time chats.
Gather "Muddiest Point" or "One-Minute" papers with messaging or e-mail
This terrific assessment technique, which is used in face-to-face classes, can be adapted to online use. A muddiest-point paper is a way for you to learn, in a nonthreatening manner, what learners are struggling with. In a face-to-face class, learners write down and turn in one topic that they find difficult to understand in class. In Blackboard, learners can do this same exercise by using the messaging function or e-mail. You can set a specific time for learners to submit their muddiest-point papers, have them turned in weekly (but whenever the learner chooses to submit them), or issue an open-ended invitation to submit them whenever a topic seems confusing. One successful strategy is to require learners to submit a muddy point on a regular basis, simply to overcome the habit many learners have of merely gliding along without understanding important concepts and assuming that they'll understand it eventually. By prompting learners to identify where they're struggling, you engender in them a greater sense of ownership of their own learning.

Kathryn McDonough sat at the defense table — sometimes stoic and sometimes sobbing — as nearly a dozen members of Elizabeth "Lizzi'' Marriott's family berated her for betraying Marriott's trust and luring the 19-year-old University of New Hampshire sophomore to her death.
Kathryn McDonough sat at the defense table — sometimes stoic and sometimes sobbing — as nearly a dozen members of Elizabeth "Lizzi'' Marriott's family berated her for betraying Marriott's trust and luring the 19-year-old University of New Hampshire sophomore to her death.
McDonough, 19, had just pleaded guilty Thursday to hindering the prosecution, tampering with a witness and conspiracy for lying to investigators after Marriott's family reported her missing last year. She had told investigators her new friend never showed up at the Dover apartment McDonough shared with 30-year-old Seth Mazzaglia as planned the night of Oct. 9.
McDonough was sentenced to 1½ to 3 years in prison and taken into custody at the end of the two-hour hearing.
Wracked with rage and sorrow, Bob Marriott, the victim's father, said the family grudgingly accepted the plea deal to further the prosecution of Mazzaglia.
"I want to say goodbye to a person when they die," he said. "That's something I will never be able to do for my baby. I have gone to Peirce Island so many times and talked to the water. The defendant's callous actions have caused me so much grief."
"To say that my life has been turned upside down doesn't give it justice - it feels more like torn inside out and ripped to shreds,'' he said.
Prosecutors say Marriott did arrive at McDonough's apartment that night and was killed by Mazzaglia, who is charged with first-degree murder.
The couple later admitted to investigators they used Marriott's car to drive her body to Peirce Island in Portsmouth and threw it into the Piscataqua River, which feeds into the Atlantic Ocean. Her body has never been recovered, a fact her family lamented Thursday as intensifying their grief and robbing them of a chance to say goodbye.
Mazzaglia, who is being held without bond, is due in court Wednesday and his trial is scheduled to start in May. McDonough's plea agreement calls for her to testify against Mazzaglia. Prosecutors have yet to say what transpired that night or what McDonough's role was. She later admitted to investigators that she did nothing to render assistance to an unconscious Marriott or summon help.
In an email Thursday, Westborough attorney George Thompson, who represents the Marriott family, said the family isn't pleased with the sentence, but appreciate that McDonough's cooperation may help ensure Mazzaglia is punished.
"In this matter, it is the Marriotts' hope that the greatest sense of justice possible will be realized by the conviction of Seth Mazzaglia of the premeditated murder of Lizzi and that he will spend the rest of his natural life in prison," Thompson said.
In Rockingham Court, Marriott family members said the charges McDonough pleaded guilty to don't adequately convey her conduct or her culpability. They are classified as "victimless crimes" — a categorization Marriott's mother disputed.
"Yours were the actions of a cold, calculating woman trying to stay out of trouble,'' Melissa Marriott said. "Victimless? I don't think so."
Lizzi Marriott's paternal grandmother, Susan Marriott, told McDonough, "You invited her to her death." Her maternal grandmother, Charlotte Panneton, asked McDonough how she could live with herself.
"She gave you her friendship and you betrayed her," Panneton said. "You did not stop the chain of events that took her life."
Panneton said her granddaughter was "ripped" from her life "in such an evil way," adding, "I am haunted and consumed by this loss. The pain is so agonizing it cannot be described. I hurt to the core of my being."
Marriott's father held fast to his anger and regret.
"Lizzi is gone forever and the defendant lives and will walk free in a short period of time. Lizzi met Kat and thought she had made a new friend, and that got her killed. That is wrong at so many levels and I will suffer every day of my life living with that. Is the imposed sentence fair - no - it may, however, be the best thing moving forward - time will tell."
But Bob Marriott also talked about the joy his daughter brought him as well as the loss he suffers.
"I am so proud of my Lizzi, she was a wonderful, vibrant person who loved life and spent time helping others," Marriott said. "I spent 20 years parenting her so that she would be a good person, be happy and be successful, and that was ripped away by (McDonough's) betrayal."
Prosecutors say McDonough and Mazzaglia conspired and told investigators Mazzaglia accidentally strangled Marriott during consensual sex, an allegation Marriott family members said was reprehensible and deepened their pain. Prosecutors have been adamant there was nothing consensual about the circumstances surrounding Marriott's death, but won't elaborate.
McDonough's lawyer, Andrew Cotrupi, said during the hearing that he wanted to dispel any notion that Marriott was somehow complicit in her death.
"Lizzi went to a friend's house to watch a movie,'' Cotrupi said. "She said no to a man that would not accept that. She is fully blameless in her death. Kathryn recognizes that."
Just weeks before her death, Marriott began her first days as a transfer student at UNH, majoring in marine biology and commuting to campus from Chester, N.H., where she was living with relatives.
Marriott, who graduated from Westborough High in 2011, was working at a Target store in Greenland, N.H., which is where authorities say she met McDonough.
Rockingham Superior Court Judge Marguerite Wageling, too, had harsh words for McDonough before officers cuffed her wrists behind her back and led her away.
"But for you, Elizabeth Marriott would be alive today,'' Wageling said. "But for your cowardly and selfish actions, she would be alive or this family would have a body to lay to rest. You will carry that in your conscience the rest of your life.''
Reporter Sara Mulkeen contributed to this report. Material from the Portsmouth (N.H.) Herald was also used.

My Messenger From My Love
has not yet been deployeed. I dread the day that he is but
I know that that's what has to be done. He has to protect
our country along with the rest of our military troops. But
every single minute that goes by I think about all of those
military wives out there whose husbands are deployed, and I
can't even imagine the pain, lonliness, and worry that they
go through. I wrote this poem for them. To give them hope
when they feel like falling apart. I would like it very much
if you would please post this on your website. Thank you.

My Messenger From My Love
by: Brittany Akers
On my way to work today,
I saw an awesome sight.
More beautiful than anything.
More brilliant than sunlight.
It's wings were lined with silver.
And it's hair had a golden shine.
I knew what it was.
This angel, it was mine.
A winged messenger sent to me,
>From the love of my life.
To take away the lonliness,
To take away the strife.
She was but a child,
About the age of eight.
Sent to help me get through,
While I had to wait.
Her lips smiled at me,
So soft and rosy red.
Her mouth opened,
And this is what she said:
"When nights are cold and lonely,
You can always look to me.
For I am the winged messenger,
Sent to comfort thee.
When all seems to be lost,
Without a hope in sight,
For the winged messenger will be there,
To help you fight your fight.
Your soldier knows how lonely you are,
And how hard that it must be.
He knows he can't be with you,
And that's why he sent me.
To embrace you when you're lonely,
To hold you when you cry,
To empty out the well of tears,
That never seems to run dry."
A tear fell from my eye,
As I realized what was going on.
My soldier sent me an angel,
To look after me while he's gone.
I felt a brush against my cheek,
To wipe away a tear.
A feeling of joy and happiness,
Began to replace my fears.
I felt safe once again.
Secure within myself.
So, I put my fears aside,
And set them on the shelf.
I got into my car,
And I drove on to work,
With a sense of joy,
Where no fear could lurk.
On my way to work today,
I saw an awesome sight.
A winged messenger sent from my love,
To say 'everything will be alright'.

Nearly 100-year-old Iowa family business closing
Store to close in April
A family-owned business in Marshalltown that has been open for nearly 100 years is closing.
The owners of Iowa Lumber at 211 South 2nd Ave. said the toughest part of closing is saying goodbye to their customers.
On Friday, every sale made for Bob Jacobson takes him one step closer to closing the doors on his business.
"That's what I put into the business, a part of me," said Bob Jacobson.
Bob Jacobson started working in the lumber industry when he was 16.
Bob and his wife Ruth bought the Iowa Lumber store more than a decade ago, and kept it a family-run business like it had been since it first opened in 1916.
"I love the people. We just love the people," said Ruth Jacobson.
The store will close on April 12. The Jacobsons said a slowing economy and competition from big chain stores is the reason they need to close.
"Once we turn the key on the front door and turn the light off and stuff, it's probably going to hit me pretty hard," said Jacobson.
Customers said mom-and-pop shops like the Jacobsons' have a personal touch they can't get anywhere else.
"The big box stores, they are what they are. There's nothing personal about them. This is family, people you know, this is people you care for," said Mark Kern, one of the Jacobson's customers.
"I would just like to thank everyone that crossed through the threshold of the door, for coming in and supporting a business like this," said Jacobson.
The store is now selling everything inside the store for 40 percent off and the lumber outside is 30 percent off.
The Jacobsons said they plan to have an auction in May to sell off everything that is left over.

We have a team of A+ Rated plumbing professionals in Produce, FL who can be on site and provide you with the information you need to get your plumbing repairs in Produce, FL done fast.
Repiping in Produce, FL is not something that homeowners think about often. In most Florida homes pipes are hidden from view behind walls and inside cabinets, and as long as nothing goes wrong we pay them no mind. So why would you need to re-pipe your home in Produce, FL? That is exactly what you will find out by reading this article.
Re-piping is basically what it sounds like replacing all the pipes in your entire home. Your pipes will be replaced with not only brand new pipes, but new pipes that will not rust or corrode. Having the pipes in your home replaced in Produce, FL is a big decision, so it is important to be well informed of the reasons to re-pipe and the potential benefits.
Your washing machine is filling up surprisingly slowly. This is usually due to low water pressure, and can be caused by a leak in your pipes that has formed due to corrosion or tree root intrusion. The stream of water from your showerhead is very weak, or becoming weaker as time goes on. This can also occur as a result of leaks in your pipes, and should be taken care of right away! Even if you dont mind the weak stream coming from your showerhead, leaks can be very damaging to your home, and end up costing you more money. Your tap water has a funny smell, is a strange color, or has some other characteristic that doesnt seem normal. If you are looking to get your home repiped in Produce then you found the right website.This can not only be unpleasant, but also harmful to your health. If you notice this sign, call us right away. One main factor that can indicate a need to re-pipe your home is age. The older your home is (15-20 years) the more likely it is that your home would need to be re-piped. There are two reasons for this. One is that corrosion is a natural process that happens over time so the older your home is, the more time your pipes have had to rust and corrode from years of use. Second, is the materials used back when older homes were built were often more susceptible to corrosion, and therefore age faster than materials that are used today. CPVC is the most commonly used pipe today. We at Phillips Corp use only top grade materials in all homes we re-pipe.
At Phillips Corp. we go the extra mile to make sure your home is taken care of. All floors and walkways are covered while work is in progress to ensure your floors are protected. Our professional technicians clean up the work areas daily when leaving your home.
Job specifications are gone over in detail with the homeowner before work is started; we want our clients to be knowledgeable of what is going on in their home.

How do I know if I need a new water heater in Produce, FL?
There are several signs that may indicate your water heater might be failing:
Water buildup in or around the area of your water heater may suggest a leak. Water-quality issues, such as rust or sediment visible in your water supply, could indicate the unit may fail soon. The unit no longer provides the same temperature or duration of hot water as it had in the past. We provide water heater installation in Produce, FL.
What's the difference between a conventional storage tank and a tankless one? A conventional tank constantly heats stored water, is good for high usage demands and is economical. It can be stored in a closet, basement, or garage and has a capacity ranging from 20 to 80 gallons. A tankless water heater has lower operating costs, uses less space and can reduce energy consumption by as much as 30%. It also can provide continuous hot water at a precise temperature. However, it does require more upfront investment, may need venting and is not ideal for heavy usage.
A slab leak is the plumbing industry term for a pinhole leak that has developed in a copper or galvanized water line below the concrete subfloor of your home. We use state of the art equipment for leak detection in Produce, FL for our customers. We provide slab leak repair in Produce as one of our services.
At Phillips Corp we have the latest sonar technology to detect and locate your leak. Once the leak is found we can provide you with upfront pricing and a repair plan to fix the problem.

We've run recipes for this classic salad in various incarnations every few years as far back as the 1940s — with and without raw egg, with and without anchovies, changing up the cheese and even mixing in pasta or shellfish. This version is simply the best.
- Yield
- Makes 6 servings
- Active Time
- 25 min
- Total Time
- 25 min
- 1 large garlic clove, halved lengthwise
- 3/4 to 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (3-oz) Portuguese roll or a 7-inch piece of baguette, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 8 anchovy fillets packed in oil, drained
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 hearts of romaine (an 18-oz package), leaves separated but left whole
- 1 oz finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/2 cup)
- Special Equipment
- a very large salad bowl (preferably wooden)
- Season salad bowl by rubbing a cut half of garlic followed by 1 teaspoon oil onto bottom and side of bowl (reserve garlic).
- Heat 3/4 cup oil with both halves of reserved garlic in an 8-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat, turning garlic occasionally, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then discard garlic. Add bread cubes to oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, about 2 minutes. Transfer croutons to paper towels to drain. Pour oil through a small fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof measuring cup and add enough additional olive oil to bring total to 6 tablespoons.
- Put anchovies in salad bowl and mash to a paste using 2 forks. Whisk in egg and lemon juice, then add reserved oil (warm or at room temperature) in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Season with salt to taste.
- Add romaine leaves to dressing and toss to coat. Add croutons and toss briefly.
- Divide salad among 6 large plates, then sprinkle with cheese and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Cooks' notes:
· The egg in this recipe is not cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area. · Dressing and tossing the lettuce leaves whole will result in an overall crisper salad. · Although the croutons are best warm, they can be fried 1 hour ahead.

For $3,000, get your own Indy 500 tiny home experience
Tiny homes will be available this year at the Indy 500, which are more hotel room than glamping tent, Indianapolis, Monday, Jan. 29, 2018. The lodging, which will be parked waterside on the infield, will be priced at $3,000. Robert Scheer/IndyStar
INDIANAPOLIS — If "glamping" is a little too rough for you, there will be boutique tiny homes available for rent at the 2018 Indianapolis 500.
The four-night, four-person package announced Monday morning includes four general admission tickets to Carb Day, Legends Day, and Indy 500 Race Day. Then there's the tiny house itself, complete with dining table, refrigerator, power, personal shower, flushable toilet and a stove top.
In total, the four-guest, four-night Tiny House Hotel package is $3,000. That breaks down to about $187 per person each night.
"We're always looking to provide unique experiences for our guests," IMS President J. Douglas Boles said in a release. "The Tiny House Hotel is an exciting new offering in May during the Indianapolis 500."
That's twice the price of the "glamping" package that had gained popularity in recent race seasons. For a queen bed package in one of IMS' luxury tents, it's $1,500 for four nights.

Broncos' 1977 Orange Crush defense to be honored during Colts game
The Broncos' third-best defense in the NFL will have to move aside Sunday. Just for a while.
Several members of the Broncos' legendary 1977 Orange Crush defense will be honored during halftime of Sunday's AFC divisional playoff game against the Colts at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, the team announced Wednesday.
A tribute will acknowledge the players and coaches in attendance and recap the famed '77 season, when the Broncos, led by its defense, reached its first postseason and Super Bowl berth.
Those expected to attend: head coach Red Miller; defensive backs coach Joe Collier; defensive tackle Rubin Carter; defensive ends Barney Chavous and Brison Manor; linebackers Larry Evans, Randy Gradishar, Joe Rizzo and Bob Swenson; defensive backs Steve Foley and Billy Thompson; and cornerback Louis Wright.
Ring of Fame linebacker Tom Jackson, the leader of the Broncos' defense from 1973-86, will be featured on a recorded message during the tribute.
