This assignment will attempt to identify specific skills and abilities that are required for independent learning. For one to be successful through their academic journey, it is important to be determined and in control of ones studies, including, taking responsibility of the targets one sets and identifying strategies which will allow the journey of study to become fulfilling and enjoyable.
Firstly, this assignment will attempt to define what is meant by independent learning and then go on to identify the key skills required for independent learning. This assignment shall compare and contrast two types of learners, a passive learner and an independent learner, and conclude by looking at the advantages and disadvantages of both types of learners.
What is an independent learner?
An independent learner is one who takes responsibility of their own learning and will take an active role in the process of their own learning and development. By attending lectures and seminars and asking questions, an independent learner is able to further develop their knowledge and understanding of the subject.
An independent learner will be able to take part in the whole process of learning, asking questions and debating issues. An independent learner is one who does not solely rely on their tutors, but will go and learn using their own resources and learning styles. An independent learner is one who is able to gather and link information to have a better understanding of what they have seen or read. An independent learner is a deeper learner which allow them to use the information they are given in a more active and productive way.
An independent learner will continue to self evaluate through their studies and have the ability to identify their strengths and weaknesses and respond accordingly. An independent learner monitors their progress through keeping journals which will help them to determine their own individual learning style.
An independent learner will always reflect upon their work, by reflecting and asking questions on a particular topic an independent learner will remain focused which will allow them to learn at a more profound level. An independent learner keeps their mind stimulated by taking time to study their subjects through reading, writing, researching and through participating in class discussions, which increases their confidence and credibility as a student.
An independent learner will always set themselves realistic goals and will use their study time efficiently such as prioritizing their work load and making the most of resources available to them, such as, IT and libraries.
One definition of independent learning is The ability to take charge of one's learning.(Holec 1981)
Key Skills required for an Independent Learner
An independent learner will adapt specific skills and learning behaviours that will promote and increase their performance in their studies. Some of their main strategies that an independent learner will apply are demonstrated below.
Preparing for lectures
An independent learner will always be prepared for lectures by attending lectures on time. They will use different styles of note taking such as, such as spider webs, or pattern notes, or they might develop their own note taking style, which will suit their individual needs. An independent learner will write down questions they need answering in lectures.
Asking Questions for clarification
An independent learner will frequently ask probing questions to enhance their learning as well as to clarify what has been observed. This is also a good way to challenge ideas and theories and introduce new ideas to be considered into the discussion. Through this they will gain more insight into the topic a give rise to new and interesting debates.
Critical thinking
An independent learner will always critically analyse the validity of information by researching, evaluating, comparing and contrasting theories, and weighing up strengths and weaknesses in both viewpoints. Edward Glaser, 1941 (cited in Cottrell S, 2008, pp275) defined critical thinking as:
'Critical thinking calls for a persistent effort to examine any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the evidence that supports it and the further conclusions to which it tends'.
An independent learner whilst critically analysing must give important to, persistence and should correctly evaluate evidence and ensure the viewpoints are rationale and can lead to a conclusion without any implications.
Effective note taking
An independent learner will always first determine which method of note taking is most beneficial to them. An independent learner will always choose a method which is both enjoyable and suitable for their learning style. For an independent learner it is important to take notes in lectures as they can refer back to them when doing their research and it will also help them to gather new ideas and plan their work. Taking notes will help with remembering information that will be relevant to the topic they are studying, for example, books that they may need to refer.

There are various methods of note taking, such as, writing, audio recording or using mind maps. Mind maps are a very effective way of processing information in a more easy and visual way. Mind maps encourage a learner to use their own words and ideas creatively and also organise information that will be useful and effective. The idea of mind mapping was introduced by Tony Buzan in the 1960s.
An example of a mind map:

An independent learner will always reflect upon their learning and make positive changes through self evaluation and monitoring their performance. An independent learner will learn the skill of reflecting on their learning by carrying out self audits establishing their individual strengths and weaknesses, and applying strategies that will strengthen areas of work where they feel there is room for improvement. An independent learner will also, use feedback from both tutors and peers in a production and construction way. By gathering feedback an independent learner can help identify, limitations, they may have in reaching their full potential.
An independent learner might use different strategies to help them reflect on their work, for example, by keeping a learning journal, which would be useful to help record their personal thoughts and feelings about their learning journey. This is a very productive way of reflecting, evaluation and critically analysing their individual performances and helps develop writing skills.
The benefits of reflection are demonstrated by David Kolb (1984) in his theory of the reflective learning cycle.
Available from http://images.google.co.uk/images. [accessed15/11/2009]
Kolb's reflective learning cycle, is a good technique of reflecting and if adapted by a learner it can give them an insight into ways or methods they can apply to their learning.
Organisation and Good Time Management
An independent learner will have the ability to use methods and skills to become a good organiser and use their time in an effective way. They will have targeted goals, which will be realistic and achievable, allowing them to remain focused and motivated in their studies. An independent learner will apply self management skills to help them organise and prepare their workload and set themselves realistic time scales in which they will meet their deadlines. Effective diary keeping as illustrated in Cottrell S.2008 The Study Skills Handbook is an excellent method of managing ones time effectively. This will allow the learner to keep control of their time and help them organise their studies.

An independent learner is one who keeps oneself motivated and uses strategies to help, overcome anxieties or pressures that come along with studying in higher education. By researching and using other methods to understand and learn the subject, an independent learner minimises the risk of becoming overwhelmed with their workload. Research skills are very important and using different methods will help in becoming more confident in reading and research. Identifying and selecting relevant information as illustrated in Cottrell S. 2008 The Study Skills Handbook is a very good approach to researching and reading. This gives the learner particular strategies to apply to help them learn and understand their subject, such as, using the reading list, select the latest information, select by reliability and select by amount.
Organising and setting a realistic time schedules, will allow an independent learner to become more in control of their studies, as well as preventing themselves to become bored and disengaged with their learning.
An independent learner will apply new and enjoyable ways in which will help them learn easily. Creative ways of learning helps individuals acquire their own learning style. It will allow the learner to identify the best way in which they can learn affectively, applying new and old skills for learning. An independent learner will apply and discover new and innovative ways of researching and gathering information to help them with their learning. As illustrated in Cottrell S. 2008 The Study Skills Handbook creative planning, using visual images as well as writing notes can help with capturing your thoughts and ideas in different ways.
Good Social Skills and the Ability to Collectively Work with Others
An independent learner must have excellent social skills and the ability to affectively work and communicate with others. Having good social skills will allow the independent learner to debate and exchange ideas and challenge theories and viewpoints in an assertive way. An independent learner will work with others, offering and exchanging different ideas of learning. Collectively working with others will enhance your understanding of a subject as well as reassuring the learner at times when they are feeling overwhelmed. Sharing ideas of how to manage with studying and other responsibilities will allow the learner to gain new innovative ways of juggling their work. Independent learners allow being constructively criticised, listening and observing what is being said and ask questions if necessary.
Applying Other Strategies
By understanding what kind of learner you are and then identifying the strengths and weaknesses in this, an independent learner can easily identify areas of weakness and apply other strategies that will help overcome barriers.
In addition to the above skills an independent learner may also apply the CREAM strategy to their studies. This is illustrated in Cottrell S, 2008 The Study Skills Handbook. The CREAM strategy means Creative, Reflective, Active and Motivated. These strategies help students in becoming more aware of their individual learning styles as well as applying and discovering new ideas, being creative and imaginative whilst learning, which keeps their minds stimulated and interested in their studies.
Self Evaluation and Monitoring
An independent learner will consistently self evaluate and monitor their performance, using different strategies to help them monitor their progress. Independent learners may use personal journals or carry out self evaluations, as well using feedback from tutors and peers to indentify areas in which they need to develop further. This helps the learner to quickly manage areas of weakness, and apply strategies to overcome this, as well as indentifying their strengths. This approach allows the learner to be in complete control of their learning and development.
Advantages of being an Independent Learner in contrast to a Passive learner
There are many advantages of being an independent learner. An independent learner is actively engaged in the entire process of learning and developing. An independent learner takes a keen interest in their studies and will take an active role in ensuring that they reach their aims and objectives. Being an independent learner as opposed to a passive learner is more likely to succeed in their studies. Passive learners take little or no responsibility in there learning and development. They are often known as learners who memorise information rather than understanding what they are learning. Passive learners will always use surface learning and will not process in a productive manner, which will distract them from their studies and they may become easily bored and disinterested in what they are learning. Passive learners are often ill prepared for lectures are unable to actively contribute to group discussions and debates. Due to their passiveness and laid back attitude towards learning they are more likely to miss deadlines and underachieve.
Independent learners will increase their confidence and self reliance and make the most of information they have gathered.
An independent learner will not only meet their full academic potential, but will also be dedicated to their learning and developing themselves as individuals. Independent learners have understood and taken the key skills that are required to become successful in their journey of learning. This demonstrates that by being an active and independent learner one will not only gain respect of tutors and peers, but will also be making their own success.

Inhospitable World
Cinema in the Time of the Anthropocene
Oxford University Press 2018
Inhospitable World: Cinema in the Time of the Anthropocene (Oxford UP, 2018) explores the connection between cinema and artificial weather, climates, and even planets in or on which hospitality and survival are at stake. Cinema's dominant mode of aesthetic world-making is often at odds with the very real human world it is meant to simulate. The chapters in this book take the reader to a scene —the mise-en-scène— where human world-making is undone by the force of human activity, whether it is explicitly for the sake of making a film, or for practicing war and nuclear science, or for the purpose of addressing climate change in ways that exacerbate its already inhospitable effects. The episodes in this book emphasize our always unnatural and unwelcoming environment as a matter of production, a willed and wanted milieu, however harmful, that is inseparable from but also made perceivable through film.
While no one film or set of films adds up to a totalizing explanation of climate change, cinema enables us to glimpse anthropogenic environments as both an accidental effect of human activity and a matter of design. Chapters on Buster Keaton, American atomic test films, film noir, the art of China's Three Gorges Dam, and films of early Antarctic exploration trace parallel histories of film and location design that spell out the ambitions, sensations, and narratives of the Anthropocene, especially as it consolidates into the Great Acceleration starting in 1945.

Dry Needling
Dry Needling is a fast and effective method to achieve muscle relaxation and reduce muscle complaints. The most painful point in the muscle is the trigger point, which can cause muscle tightening. This causes the muscle to function poorly and to cramp in places. During Dry Needling, am extremely small needle is placed into the trigger point of the muscle. This improves the muscle's metabolism, causing the pain and muscle tightening to disappear.
The result of Dry Needling is often a quick and direct reduction of pain and improved freedom of movement of the related muscles and joints.
You do not feel the insertion of the needle. If the trigger point is punctured, you may feel a short contraction of the muscle. This gives a feeling similar to cramp and can be accompanied by some localised, and also occasionally unlocalised, pain. The muscle then usually immediately relaxes.
Dry Needling is not the same as acupuncture. During acupuncture, several needles are used and they remain pricked in the body for some time. In Dry Needling, only one needle is used and is only inserted into the muscle for a short period of time. In contrast to acupuncture, Dry Needling does not rely on 'energy'.
Dry Needling offers a solution for a prolonged increase in muscle tension and muscular cramps, accompanied by pain and limited movement.
For Dry Needling treatment and advice you will soon be able to visit Fysio de Kolk, SMC De Kolk in Oostzaan

The Star Entertainment Braces For Sydney Casino Competition
Australian on line casino operator The Star Leisure Team lost over AU$94m (US$67.6m) in its most the latest fiscal yr as COVID-19 spoiled what was shaping up to be a document effectiveness for the firm.
The level of entertainment is high at 홀덤사이트 site for the beginners at the online platform. The playing of the games is safe and secure for the players. You can choose the correct games to have desired benefits at the online platform. Learning about the rules and regulations is necessary for the players.
Figures produced Thursday demonstrate The Star's profits coming in just under AU$1.5b in the 12 months ending June 30, a 31% drop from fiscal 2018-19. Earnings fell by approximately 50 % to AU$282m while the enterprise booked a web decline of AU$94.6m compared to a net financial gain of AU$148m the previous year.
Australian casino companies also report 'normalized' effects that faux the inherent volatility in the VIP gambling sector doesn't exist. On that fantasy island, revenue was down only 21% to AU$1.8b, earnings dipped only 22.8% to AU$421m and the company really booked a income of AU$176m. (Leap in, the water's warm… Ignore people penguins swimming by.)
The Star's chairman John O'Neill claimed the organization had delivered history earnings from July 2019 as a result of February 2020, just after which Australia's land-centered gaming operators had been shut down by COVID. The company's flagship eponymous on line casino in Sydney reopened on a partial basis in June in advance of opening up the floodgates in July (following the 2019-20 fiscal year experienced finished) only to impose new limitations a handful of months later.
Overall VIP gambling profits (actual, not normalized) fell 51% last 12 months to AU$285m, of which the Sydney casino contributed AU$262m (-28.2%), irrespective of the house enjoying a modest bump in its VIP get. Total domestic gaming earnings slid just about 1-quarter to AU$1.45b, with Sydney contributing AU$1.17b (-25.4%).
More than in Queensland, the Brisbane and Gold Coastline casinos put together for revenue of AU$579m (-38.8%), nearly all of which arrived via domestic gaming (AU$553, -23.3%). Queensland VIP profits tumbled 89.3% to just AU$24m, thanks to a steep decline in turnover and a actually abysmal earn price of just .09%.
The current fiscal 12 months has been a mixed bag for The Star, failing to secure a 30-12 months Gold Coastline on line casino monopoly but scoring a definitely sweetheart monopoly on electronic gaming equipment in Sydney.
The Star has also suffered some community relations very own-targets, such as fines for enabling visitors to violate COVID restrictions and letting a person very youthful visitor to get her gamble on. The Star also uncovered by itself sucked into the New South Wales regulatory probe into rival Crown Resorts' dealings with their junket companions.
On a more good be aware, the company is proceeding with its Queen's Wharf Brisbane challenge, though its new Sovereign VIP home (pictured) at the Sydney on line casino is reportedly attracting a 'pleasing' variety of the company's "highest value domestic customers."
DOMESTIC VIPS ARE NOW THE Warm CHICK AT THE BAR
With COVID however raging and the governments of Australia and China scarcely on speaking terms, The Star has no illusions about its intercontinental VIP organization rebounding any time quickly. The Star CEO Matt Bekier explained the worldwide VIP company "is stolen" and will probably continue to be so for a different calendar year. The firm has hence sold off one particular of its non-public jets and ditched its 'VIP motor yacht.'
Bekier mentioned the business was at the moment carrying out only 5% of its regular VIP volume, but these shoppers had been "almost totally domestic." That signifies they're funds shoppers, so The Star does not have to stress about chasing down global VIPs to repay credit marketplaces.
Bekier said some previous prospects are "just not at ease coming again into private places" but the shoppers that are coming again are "spending up." Regardless of "minimum advertising stimulus," the Sydney casino is operating at its most potential less than its recent limitations, which Bekier reported "bodes nicely as limits are eased."
Bekier observed that the Sydney on line casino would deal with its initially ever competitors in the table activity marketplace the moment rival Crown opens its Sydney venue in December. Bekier explained his corporation was "not cocky but confident" that it will be ready to fulfill this challenge, in aspect via "individual account strategies."

Do the physical impacts of climate change affect the prospects for achieving the first target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), to halve world poverty? With the official mid-point of the MDGs on 7 July 2007, this is an important question to consider as we assess challenges to meeting these goals, and look beyond them.
At a global level, the latest UN MDG report argues that the proportion of people living in extreme poverty has fallen, from 28% in 1990 to 19% in 2002, using the $1-a-day poverty line. However, this progress has been highly uneven. Structural change in East and South Asia has driven the reduction in global poverty incidence, but in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) there was no progress in the 1990s, and it is too early to say whether tentative declines in poverty since 2000 are a new trend. Despite rising urbanisation, over 60% of people in SSA are reliant on agriculture for their income. The potential impacts of climate change pose two key questions for current agriculture-led strategies to reduce poverty.
Climate change: Certainty and uncertainty
Current scientific evidence suggests that the physical impacts of climate change are unlikely to be substantial in the short-term, that is before 2015. But the medium term is a different matter. This is important, not just for looking beyond the 2015 target to the Goal proper – to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger – but also for the durability of the poverty exits achieved before 2015.
While the future physical impacts of climate change are unclear and contested, with aggregate figures masking significant intra-continental variation, two general trends in SSA are discernable.
First, in the longer-term, small increases in temperature are, in aggregate, expected to reduce crop yields and the area of arable land to a greater extent than other regions.
Some project up to a 9% decrease in potential agricultural land by the 2080s and a reduction in yield of up to 10% and 18% for cereals and maize, respectively, by 2050.
However, the pathways of change are not straightforward. A clear example is the 'hill function': that the positive effects of higher temperatures and CO
levels on crop yields (through increased photosynthesis) reach an inflection point after which further increases in temperature reduce yields.
Such thresholds differ across species and landscapes, with, for example, maize yields being particularly sensitive to increases in temperature, because maize does not utilise higher CO2 levels effectively.
Improvements in crop varieties and wider agricultural technology might counteract reduced yields, especially as current figures are often considerably below optimal levels, but this is not certain.
The second general trend is that episodes of heavy rainfall and drought are likely to become more frequent and severe, and that prediction of these events will remain difficult. These physical impacts are much more short term. The The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) finds that it is likely (> 66% probability) that there has been an increasing trend in such events in the latter half of the 20th Century and 'very likely' (> 90% probability of occurrence) that the frequency and severity of such natural hazards will increase in the mid to late 21
Both of these general trends – decreased crop yields and areas of arable land, and increased occurrence and intensity of natural hazards – have implications for agriculture-led poverty alleviation policies.
The challenges of climate change for agricultural policy
Current approaches to poverty reduction, as exemplified by the UK Department for International Development's (2005) Agriculture Policy Paper, highlight the critical role of agricultural productivity in stimulating agricultural growth and poverty reduction.
Supported by the experience of Green Revolution productivity gains in South and South-East Asia, and based on the inverse relationship between farm size and productivity, small farm approaches argue that labour-intensive smallholder-led increases in yields can address both growth and equity goals at once: directly (through income increases), and indirectly (through increased employment and demand for goods and services). Small farms are generally owned and operated by the poor, use locally-hired labour, and distribute income within nearby locales, creating multipliers. They also have advantages over large farms in certain types of transaction costs: the supervision of labour, local knowledge, and food purchases and risk.
Climate change might challenge this current policy approach in two ways. First, climate change raises questions about the source of agricultural growth, and the relationship between land and labour productivity. For African countries in the early stages of rural growth, the current policy approach argues that both land and labour productivity must rise, but land productivity must rise faster – to create employment, absorb surplus labour, and stimulate demand for non-farm goods and services. Some already question whether this Asian-style agricultural model is applicable to the SSA context, and what effect HIV/AIDs may have on the land and labour productivity ratio. Moreover, if climate change also means that there is less agricultural land available, and the area of low-potential land is increased, the need to increase land productivity to stimulate agricultural growth becomes all the more pressing.
Second, climate change poses a question about the likelihood of the multipliers stemming from agriculture-led growth. Increases in farm-based income are closely linked with increases in non-farm income in the wider rural economy (e.g. from vending, petty trading, provision of everyday services). This is especially pronounced from broad-based smallholder-led agricultural growth. However, a key issue for a dynamic non-farm rural economy is that there must be consistent and stable increases in agricultural incomes. Diversification into non-farm activities usually only occurs to a significant extent when demand for goods and services at the end of agricultural cycles is regular and constant. As we have seen, the only certainty regarding climate change is increased variability (including increasingly changeable rainfall patterns), implying that agricultural growth patterns will become more capricious. Therefore, what is the likelihood of sustaining non-farm rural growth when agricultural incomes are increasingly unpredictable?
A mixed picture, but good grounds for concern
We do not wish to paint an overly-pessimistic picture regarding the impacts of climate change. Increased meteorological variability might increase yields in particular locations, open up new cropping possibilities, and lead to reconfigured patterns of growth and trade that will benefit some.
There are potential benefits for farmers from climate change mitigation, for example through new revenue flows from carbon markets and biofuels. And there are also good reasons to suggest that communities and systems may adapt to such a long-term shift. The high flexibility and adaptability of small farms – not least the experience of farmers in coping with variable climates – may also enable labour-intensive smallholder-led agricultural growth to occur. On the other hand, there are also reasons to think that small farms might struggle to adapt: poorer farms are often found on less productive land, and in marginal environments; and will clearly struggle if adaptation requires large financial costs. Overall we feel there are good reasons to be concerned.
In the face of increased uncertainty and risk, the two key adaptive responses at the country level are diversification and flexibility. However, such responses may be difficult for many SSA countries. Path dependence on conventional export crops, and few opportunities to shift to manufactured exports (due to trade regulations and market conditions), could mean that climate change might further lock countries into cycles of low and fluctuating agricultural growth and limited poverty reduction.
In short, there might be a limited window of opportunity for current strategies to trigger rural growth processes, and wider multipliers, in rural economies in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. It may only be a matter of two or three decades before current strategies to foster smallholder-driven rural growth become much harder to achieve. If so, this is a clear reason to redouble efforts at stimulating smallholder-driven rural growth processes immediately. And while we have focussed on SSA, similar dynamics may be significant in parts of rural Asia, particularly India, where a large number of the world's poor live.
Governments and aid agencies must start to think beyond 2015. The first Millennium Development Goal has always begged the question: what about the other half?
The projected impacts of climate change pose a further question: if poverty is not reduced substantially in SSA countries by, say, 2040, then can poverty reduction using current strategies be achieved at all?

Few psychologists would deny that psychological measurement is messy and that observed scores are biased by systematic and random measurement error. It is therefore surprising that also few psychologists are actually trying to do something about this by using multi-method measurement models to control for measurement error. Multi-method measurement models are usually published by psychometricians who are only interested in measurement, but not in substantive theories. As a result, most published work relies on messy measures with unknown validity. This is also true for research on well-being. Given the lack of emphasize on measurement, it is also very difficult to find competent reviewers of work that uses measurement models because most well-being researchers are not trained in measurement.
To avoid the pain of peer-review, I am presenting the result of a complex model of well-being as a blog post. This model addresses many unanswered questions in the well-being literature. This may sound like a good thing, but it is a problem. Psychology articles are designed to answer one question at a time. Hopefully, without any concern about effect sizes. Like, does money buy happiness? Yes or No? Or, does neuroticism predict well-being. Of course, it does. This piecemeal work often culminates in a meta-analysis that shows the average correlation across many studies. Although this information quantifies effects, nobody knows what to do with this quantitative information. Psychologists are not used to think in terms of complex models with multiple variables that can all influence each other. In fact, they despise these models becaues they make causal assumptions with correlational data. What would happen if we allowed that. After all, we pride ourselves on the use of experiments which makes us superior to the social sciences that use correlations. The problem is that nobody has come up with a good experiment to study what makes lives good that could be adminstered on Mturk for 20 cents per participant.
Ok, rant over.
1. A measurement model of well-being.
The most widely used indicators of well-being are life-satisfaction judgments. They have high face validity because they directly ask respondents to evaluate their lives with a subjectively chosen ideal. However, face validity does not imply that a measure is valid or that all of the variance in it is valid variance. The most widely used evidence to claim that self-ratings of life-satisfaction are valid indicators of well-being is that they show convergent validity with informant ratings. Although everybody might be lying, it is more likely that agreement between raters reflects some valid information about individuals' lives.
Lucas, Suh, and Diener (1996) demonstrated convergent validity of self-ratings with averaged informant ratings.
|Life-Satisfaction T1
|Life-Satisfaction T2
|Life-Satisfaction Informant
These data cannot be used to create a measurement model because the self-ratings at time 1 and time 2 are likely to share some method variance. This would explain why they are more highly correlated with each other than with averaged informant ratings that reduce random and systematic measurement error by averaging across raters.
The first measurement model of well-bieng was published in 2013 (Zou, Schimmack, & Diener, 2013). Rather than averaging informants, each rater was treated like an independent method. The data came from the Mississauga Family Study. In this study, students who lived with their biological parents participated in a Round-Robin family study. Thus, there were three targets (students, mothers, fathers). In addition, there were three informants (students, mothers, fathers). These data can be analzyed with a model with planned missing data and four measures (self, student informant, mother informant, father informant), where data are missing for the informant ratings of the same target (informant ratings of student by students).
|Life-Satisfaction Self
|Life-Satisfaction Student Informant
|Life-Satisfaction Mother Informant
|Life-Satisfaction Father Informant
The correlations in Table 2 show convergent validity four all four methods. Moreover, there is no evidence that self-ratings are more valid than informant ratings which should produced stronger self-informant correlations than informant-informant correlations. All methods seem to be equally valid. The main deviation was found for the correlation between mothers and fathers as informants. This could reflect some shared method variance in parents' ratings of students' well-being. However, a single-factor model fits these data reasonably well, CFI = .983, RMSEA = .048.
Nevertheless, adding a method factor (i.e, a correlation between the error variances) for mothers and fathers as informants improved model fit, CFI = 1.000, RMSEA = .000.
The path coefficient from the factor (unobserved variable, latent variable) to the observed self-rating scores of .597, implies that only about one-third of the variance in self-ratings is valid variance that is also reflected in informant ratings. As these scale scores are based on the 3-item Satisfaction with Life scale (Diener et al., 1985), with a reliability of about 85%, this means that a large portion of the variance in self-ratings is systematic measurement error. This hasn't stopped well-being researchers from treating single-item life-satisfaction ratings as perfectly valid measures that do not require a measurement model (e.g., World Happiness Reports).
In conclusion, the first part of the model answers three questions. First, do life-satisfaction judgments have some validity? The answer is that they very very likely have some validity. Second, is all of the reliable variance in life-satisfaction judgments valid? The answer is that it is very very unlikely that this is the case. The third question is how much of the variance in life-satisfaction judgments is valid variance? Of course, there is no precise answer to this question, but a reasonable answer is that it is more than a quarter and less than fifty percent.
2. Affect and Well-Being
The second question is what predicts variation in life-satisfaction judgments. One theory of well-being is that the only relevant information is how much pleasure versus displeasure we experience in our lives. This theory is known as hedonism and usually attributed to Bentham who famously proposed that we are all slaves to pleasure and pain. In philosophy the question was whether it can be objectively justified to define well-being in this way. The modern consensus is that well-being cannot be reduced to feelings because individuals might want to do other things with their lives. Thus, a subjective theory of well-being at least allows individuals in principle to have high well-being with a lot of pain and little pleasure. However, it seems likely that people care about their feelings and that they influence how they evaluate their lives. This brings us to two empirical questions. First, how much of the variance in well-being is explained by feelings? Second, what else influences well-being independent of feelings?
Many studies have examined the first question using just self-ratings. However, this creates problems. Feelings are also measured with self-ratings, which creates shared method variance, but there could also be systematic method variance that is unique to judgments of feelings and life-satifaction. To overcome these problems, it is possible to create measurement models for feelings and life-satisfaction judgments and to examine their relationship at the unobserved level that removes measurement error from the observed scores.
To go slowly, I first show the results for a model in which memory-based ratings of happy feelings are used to predict life-satisfaction judgments. Model fit was acceptable, CFI = .989, RMSEA = .036.
The autogenerated model in MPLUS looks pretty crappy, but it does show all of the paths, including the correlated error variances for ratings by the same rater as well as for father and mother informant ratings. The key finding is that the standardized effect size for the effect of happiness on life-satisfaction judgments is .718. In a model with a single predictor, we can square this parameter and see that happiness alone accounts for 51% of the variance in well-being.
We can now do the same for negative affect. Very similar results are obtained with global ratings of unpleasantness or ratings of sadness (.69 vs. 71). Thus, sadness also explains 50% of the variance in well-being.
If happiness and sadness were independent, these results would confirm the hedonist theory of well-being, but happiness and sadness are not independent. It is therefore necessary to include happiness and sadness simultaneously as predictors to see how much of the variance in well-being is explained by affect alone and how much variance is left to be explained by something else. This is of course just multiple regression with the notable difference that regression is conducted at the level of unobserved variables that control for measurement error.
The autogenerated model looks fine because it doesn't include the correlated errors. The actual model included these errors. The fit of the model was acceptable, CFI = .989, RMSEA = .029. The correlation between happiness and sadness was r = -.59, which is similar to results in the only two multi-method studies of this relationship (Diener, Smith, & Fujita, 1995; Zou et al., 2013). The residual (unexplained) variance in well-being was 37%. Thus, affect explains roughly two-thirds of the valid variance in well-being, but one-third is not explained by affect.
Thus, the first conclusion that we can draw from these results is that well-being cannot be reduced to the balance of pleasure and displeasure. Apparently, we are not slaves to our passions and have ways to embrace our lives even when we are not experiencing pleasure or dislike our lives even if we do. Most important, the remaining unexplained variance is not just measurement error because the model controlled for it.
This brings us to the second question. What else predicts well-being independent of our feelings. And this question will be examined in Part II of this series called "How to build a monster model of well-being."

Name: Rhonda Bramell (blogs at Bramell, Party of Five)
Kids' names and ages: Becca, age 5, and Evan and Carley, age 2
What are the challenges/perks to having twins? 🙂 Oh dear, that's a loaded question. It's definitely a challenge not having enough hands–from trying to feed two babies at once when they were infants to now, as toddlers, trying to go somewhere if I'm alone with them. One of the great perks is that the kids always have a playmate in each other; all three kids play well together.
Where are you from and what brought you to NWA? I am from small town Wynne, Arkansas. My mother would tell you that I came to NWA to follow a boy, but 20 years later, I still won't own up to that. Let's just say I came here to go to the U of A.
If you went back to college what would you study? Hmmm….I really don't know. I did not like school enough to go back.
What's your work background? I worked in the radio business for 7 years after college; doing station events and promotions. I got to meet lots of musicians and celebrities along the way, which was very cool. Now I work for the American Cancer Society, helping the medical community connect their cancer patients to our services. I also recruit and train volunteers.
If you had a whole day to yourself what would you do? I wish I had a fabulous answer to this question. I cannot even tell you what I'd LIKE to do…it just never happens. Never. But I'd probably end up doing something stupid like cleaning the house.
What's something you've been meaning to do but can't seem to get around to it? I've been meaning to help my 5-year-old daughter make a scrapbook from our trip to Disney World this past spring. I'm afraid that she'll be big enough to do it herself before I get around to it.
What are some of your favorite things to do with your kids in Northwest Arkansas? We take lots of walks—in our neighborhood, on the trails and at the parks. We also like going to the the libraries for special events, concerts and storytime.
What's a make-up essential you couldn't live without? Does moisturizer count? I have horribly dry skin, so I use lots of it.
What would you do with an unexpected gift of cash? Finally, an easy question! I would go pick out some new carpet. Today. And I'm not even kidding.
What's one of the best pieces of parenting advice you ever received? From a friend of mine who also has twins: get them on a schedule from the beginning. I did, and I think it's the only way we survived. They are still very routine-oriented, which makes it a little tough when we have to travel or disrupt the routine.
The worst? I'm sure there was plenty, but I can't think of anything now.
If someone wrote a song about your life right now, what would a good title be? Crazy Lady with a Messy House
One word to sum me up … Tired.

Graduate Research and Discovery Symposium (GRADS)
The Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of the LIT ROOM: A Mixed-Technology Architectural-Robotic Embedded Environment for Augmenting Interactive Picturebook Read-Alouds
Document Type
Publication Date
Spring 2015
My developing, interdisciplinary research features the design and evaluation of technology-enhanced environments supporting multimodal, interactive picturebook read-alouds. Because we are entering a new frontier in literacy where technology-enhanced tools are changing the way we teach and children learn, it is increasingly critical to consider how these tools support interactivity, provide feedback, and generate creativity and innovative thinking. The on-going LIT ROOM study, presented here as research-in-progress, is an exemplar for innovative, interdisciplinary design research and suggests that in an increasingly digital society, children's literacy be cultivated in a robotic-embedded environment that is, at once, physical, digital and evocative of the picture-book being read. Inspired by concepts of embodied interaction, this research involves the implementation and evaluation of an intelligent, fine-tunable suite of architectural-robotic artifacts – the LIT ROOM - distributed at room-scale in a public library children's room setting. Through a reconfigurable, co-adaptive learning environment, the LIT ROOM aims to augment the dialogical reading of picture-books within an engaging and exploratory space for the advancement of literacy.

I've got a SAPUI5 app in HCP that I started with WebIDE's Master Detail template.
I have two OData services, both through the Hana Cloud Connector with destinations in HCP.
My primary OData service is coming through fine, and the master and detail relationship works fine. It's running off of a non-SAP legacy system with Olingo. The secondary service is our on-premise SAP system.
I am trying to have, on my detail page, one or two fields pulled from the secondary service for a matching entity.
So, if we call my primary source A, I have A(invoices), with A(invoices)->InvoiceDetails as the detail collection. I want to be able to hit the secondary OData source B for item name in the same list results as my invoice details.
I have these routes defined in neoapp.json:
"path": "/ADest", "target": {"type": "destination",
"name": "ADest" }, "description": "ASource Odata"
}, {
"path": "/BDest", "target": {
"type": "destination",
"name": "BDest"
}, "description": "BDest Odata"
My manifest.json has entries for the two sources like this:
"dataSources":{ "mainService": { "uri": "/ADest/Odata/odatapoc.svc/",
"type": "OData",
"settings": { "odataVersion": "2.0",
"localUri": "localService/metadata.xml"
} }, "otherService": {
"uri": "/BDest/sap/opu/odata/sap/another_srv/",
"type": "OData",
"settings": {
"odataVersion": "2.0"
} }
"models": { "i18n": {
"type": "sap.ui.model.resource.ResourceModel",
"settings": {
"bundleName": "pdpgenpoc.i18n.i18n"
}, "": {
"dataSource": "mainService",
"preload": true
}, "src2": {
"dataSource": "otherService",
"type": "sap.ui.model.odata.v2.ODataModel",
"preload": true
} }
/ADest/Odata/odatapoc.svc/ has entities /Invoices, which in turn has InvoiceDetails. InvoiceDetails has a member element VendNum.
/BDest/sap/opu/odata/sap/another_srv/ has /Vendors with vendor number as key.
The xml for my detail view includes:
<Table id="lineItemsList" width="auto" items="{InvoiceDetails}" updateFinished="onListUpdateFinished" noDataText="{i18n>detailLineItemTableNoDataText}" busyIndicatorDelay="{detailView>/lineItemTableDelay}"> <headerToolbar>
<Toolbar id="lineItemsToolbar">
<Title id="lineItemsHeader" text="{detailView>/lineItemListTitle}"/>
<Column><Text text="{i18n>detailLineItemTableIDColumn}"/></Column> <Column minScreenWidth="Tablet" demandPopin="true" hAlign="Right">
<Text text="{i18n>detailLineItemTableUnitNumberColumn}"/>
<Column><Text text="3"/></Column>
<ColumnListItem type="Navigation" press="onPress">
<ObjectIdentifier title="{ItemDesc}" text="{InvcDtlNum}"/>
<ObjectNumber number="{ path: 'VendNum', formatter: '.formatter.currencyValue' }" unit="{InvcItemNum}"/>
<ObjectAttribute id="VendName" visible="true" title="{VendNum}" text="{src2>Vendors(VendNum)/VendName}" active="false"/>
I've tried a few variants on the binding {src2>Vendors(VendNum)/VendName}, including expression binding like {= src2>Vendors('VendNum')/VendName}, even trying just hard coding {src2>Vendors('12345')/VendName} to see if I could just pull a hard-coded vendor's name, but the expression isn't returning anything.
Two questions; first, is there something I've missed to be able to use src2 in my view XML? I'm not referencing it in the controller at this point.
Second, how do I reference the main service's bound element (VendNum) inside an expression pointing at the secondary service (src2)?

Greece has imposed a curfew on bars and restaurants in some of the country's most popular holiday hotspots, after recording a surge coronavirus cases. The country has only had 5,749 cases of coronavirus, at the time of writing, and 213 deaths. However, the cases recorded on Sunday are the highest daily total since the beginning of the year.
The country has gained popularity recently with Britons going abroad on holiday recently after Spain was removed from the UK's "air bridge" list.
The country is a popular holiday destination that is known for its sun, sea and stunning scenery.
In fact, three million Britons usually visit Greece each year.
But now, Greece is imposing new restrictions to help halt the spread of the virus.
The new rules mean that establishments will have to close from midnight until 7am.
Spokeswoman for the Greek government Aristotelia Peloni said that the new rules will be imposed in Mykonos, Santorini, Corfu, Crete, Rhodes, Zakynthos and Kos.
The restrictions will be put in place from today until August 23.
The cities of Thessaloniki, Larissa, Volos and Katerini will also have to follow the new measures.

The Haldiki peninsula, which is also a popular holiday destination, will also be affected by the new restrictions.
Masks in the country are also compulsory in all indoor public areas.
The government has reportedly ruled out a general lockdown.
There are also new restrictions in place for passengers from Belgium, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden.
Anyone from those countries arriving into Greece from August 17, will be required to provide a negative coronavirus test.
Furthermore, only 750 people will be allowed to enter the country each day from Albania.
Greece remains exempt from the Foreign Office's advice against all non-essential international travel.
However, countries experiencing sudden high spike of the coronavirus are at risk of being removed from the UK's "air bridge" list.
It comes as Belgium, Andorra and The Bahamas were removed from the list last week.
Last month, Spain was also removed from the list after recording localised outbreaks in the regions of Catalonia, Navarra and Aragon.
Anyone travelling to Greece from the UK has to complete a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) at least 24 hours before travel.
If travellers fail to fill out this form, they could face a fine of €500 on arrival into the country.

In Japan, the length of hospital stay (LOS) at psychiatric institutions often exceeds a year, and factors related to such stays have been identified. However, we do not know how multiple patient, hospital, and physician factors interact to determine LOS. Patient data were collected from a psychiatric hospital in Osaka, Japan. We developed subgroups, which were determined by interactions related to LOS using signal detection theory. In acute or emergency wards, five factors related to LOS were identified, and subjects were categorized into six subgroups. The indices obtained by the five factors ranged 2.49-3.47 for odds ratio, 0.47-0.84 for sensitivity, 0.40-0.76 for specificity, and 0.52-0.71 for positive predictive value. In general wards, five factors related to LOS were identified, and subjects were categorized into six subgroups. The indices obtained by the five factors ranged 3.02-5.36 for odds ratio, 0.58-0.86 for sensitivity, 0.37-0.68 for specificity, and 0.85-0.92 for positive predictive value. Psychiatrists who have been practicing longer in acute or emergency wards appear to have significantly longer stay of patients, and older or more severe patients tend to be in need of longer inpatient care. Our results provide findings that may be helpful in decreasing LOS at psychiatric hospitals.

This Asian-inspired dinner is perfect to serve with vegetables and rice for a fast and wholesomely meal and is a healthy beef recipe made from lean ground beef fried with ginger, garlic, sesame oil, a touch of honey and lots of green onions. I mean lightening by "fast." This Korean beef bowl with veggies is ready in about 20 minutes, and you will have your vegetables ready even sooner.
In Korea beef has always been very expensive, so beef dishes use the ingredient almost always moderately, often combined with vegetables (or wrapped in them. Korean beef is your favorite Korean restaurant's fast weeknight version. With ground beef instead of short ribs, a plate of sweet and spicy beef became easier. In Korean food, there are plenty of delicious flavors you don't often see in west food. Their sesame oil is loved by them, their roasted seaweed umami and their gochujang, of course. If this red pepper paste has never been present before I recommend that you pick up and play with it! I use ingredients in my cupboard today to make this recipe simple and economical.
1 pound lean ground beef
3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes,
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
Cook your ground beef with sesame oil in a saucepan, medium-high.
Pour over the meat and combine the soy sauce mixture. Allow a few minutes to simmer.
Serve with white rice.
Chicken may be used to replace ground beef or chicken if it is not available at home by chance.
I add some coconut oil to my rice for this extra flavor and texture. As long as it suits your tastebuds, you can add anything you like to the recipe and of course follow the instructions above.

The Vienna State Opera is the Austrian opera house and opera company based in Vienna, Austria. It was originally called the Vienna Court Opera. In 1920, it was renamed the Vienna State Opera. The members of the Vienna Philharmonic are recruited from its orchestra.
The fight scene in the opera house was filmed at LH2, which is a concert rehearsal space in London. The entire backstage and upper box seating was built at LH2. The production had just five days to shoot all of the footage in Vienna. Time was reserved for exterior shots and essential interior shots at the opera house.

LAKE ST. LOUIS, Mo. - The National Equestrian Center, in Lake St. Louis, hosted the 28th annual St. Louis National Charity Horse Show and several world grand champions and national champions were crowned at the show, held Sept. 28 through Oct. 1.
This show is rich in history and tradition. Considered one of the most competitive and prestigious shows on the fall circuit in the 1950s, the St. Louis National Charity has made great strides since returning in 1978 to get back to that status. Although entries this year in some of the divisions were lighter than usual, competition in the various world and grand championship classes was first rate and provided numerous highlights.
In the three- and five-gaited divisions it was a treat to see the current open world's grand champions perform again.
For the second year in a row, manager Ray Cloninger was at the helm and, with support from a big group of sponsors and committee members, ran a successful show. Saddle & Bridle has been a long time supporter of their hometown show and has poured a large amount of money into the successful Saddle & Bridle Shatner Western Finals and Saddle & Bridle Hunter Classic Finals as well as the Saddle & Bridle Pleasure Medallion program. The western, hunter and pleasure equitation divisions have continued to groweach year and this year's finals were a clear indication of the depth of talent. Chris and Jeff Thompson were both on hand to present the various awards to the Saddle & Bridle class winners.
World grand championship titles in both the western and hunter finals were on the line and the pleasure equitation riders competed for grand championships in their medallion classes. With so many prestigious awards up for grabs, entries converged, for the sixth year in a row, on the National Equestrian Center from all over the country hoping for the nod from the judging panel of Ellen Beard Arnold, Bill Hughes, Jan Lukens and Steve Crabtree.
Hospitality throughout the week included a "Meet me in St. Louis" Welcome Party for exhibitors Wednesday evening. A "Taste of St. Louis - Italian Style" party was held Thursday evening and the traditional exhibitors' party drew a crowd Friday evening after the show.
Friday evening during the show, a special presentation was held to induct the Tom Pettry family, loyal horse show supporters, into the St. Louis National Charity Horse Show Hall of Fame. The Pettry family has a long history with the St. Louis Charity and in addition to their St. Louis Hall of Fame Award, was the Special Night Sponsor for Saturday evening's session.
Highlights of Saturday evening competition, in addition to the western pleasure world grand championship and pleasure medallion senior finals, included a performance by the current World's Grand Champion Five-Gaited 5 O'Clock. He took the victory pass in the Five-Gaited Championship with Todd Miles up for Chris and Jean Nalley. A.J. Bruwer and The Midnight Hero finished with the reserve streamers for Diana Schaefer. Both horses finished in the same order in the open qualifier.
The Three-Gaited Championship featured Miles and World's Grand Champion Three-Gaited Manila Thrilla in a solo performance for owner B & T Vonderschmitt LLC.
Mike Roberts drove I'm A Lucky Charm to the Fine Harness Grand Championship tricolor for owner Dr. M.W. Sorenson. Bruwer was reserve with Vickie Reed's SJ Great Guts. The Broadway Bay and Randy Waller picked up the yellow ribbon for Margie Torkelson.
The final class of the night, the Shatner Western Pleasure World Grand Championship, was a fitting end to a successful week of competition in St. Louis.
Ten horses entered the ring for the first split and 11 horses performed in the second section. The list of past winners as well as some of this season's most successful western division campaigners was a long one and the panel had a great group from which to pick the 12 that would return to be judged again.
When the 12 exited the ring the panel had to make the selection of the top ten from which the winner and reserve winner would be chosen. A huge ovation from the crowd greeted the 10 who returned to await the panel's decision.
Kansas City and Beth Oliver were named the world grand champions after having already won the Saddle & Bridle Hunter Classic World Grand Championship earlier in the week. CH Impressive Ruler turned in the reserve performance to add to a great week with owner Mary Strohfus. Oliver and Kansas City also qualified for the 2006 working western pleasure finals with their win earlier in the week in the 13-entry 2006 working qualifier.
The American Flag and Suzanne Bradshaw, previous winners of the class, finished in third and were followed in the ribbons by In The Zone and Susan Honkamp, Callaway's Scoop The News and Kristen Pettry, Exquisite Step and Teresa Amen, Calgary and Susan Hoskins, The Phinest and Sharon Vuinovich, CH Brett Maverick and Shari Eades and Elanwood's What A Sport with Ann Cleek.
Thursday evening the Saddle & Bridle Working Western Pleasure World Grand Champion was crowned and this time the top two horses finished in reverse order. An emotional Mary Strohfus exited the ring with CH Impressive Ruler and the world title. Kansas City and Oliver were reserve world champions.
The remaining ribbons were awarded to Exquisite Step, Stardust's Ruby Tuesday and Donna Spears, Calgary, Great Belles Of Fire and Jetta Smith, CH Brett Maverick, Cholita and Katie Haynes, He's Mr. Big Stuff and Natalie Pride and Shadows In The Sky with Susan Webster.
A top group of junior exhibitors also competed for their juvenile world grand championship title and Callaway's Trooper with Rachael Worthey topped that group in Friday evening's final. Patty Milligan directed the winning team. Winsdown Cosmos and Katie Fisk earned the reserve world championship for owner Donna Skinner. Royal Wisdom and Heidi Van Gundy, Royal Crest's Whispering Stone and Hilary Kleinart, Stardust's Ruby Tuesday and Alesia Spears, Shadows In The Sky and Rachel Loyd and Lifetime Warranty with Nathan Hinds claimed the remaining five ribbons in that order.
Eleven teams competed for the Shatner Western Pleasure class that qualified for 2006. Patti Harms and Undulata's Blustery Day earned the win in the big class. Royal Wisdom was reserve with Heidi Van Gundy for Chris Nazarenus.
The Saddle & Bridle Hunter Classic World Grand Championship was well populated with two sections of 10 horses competing. Horses in each section were required to perform rail work as well as jump a single obstacle. The jump and rail work proved to be no problem for the majority of the competitors and 12 teams were called back for the final cut, which consisted of rail work only. Earning his first world grand championship of the week, Kansas City took the victory pass with owner, trainer and rider Beth Oliver.
A close competitor, CH Impressive Ruler and Mary Strohfus were crowned the reserve world champions in an outstanding class. From the get go, these two horses would prove throughout the week that they were evenly matched and extremely competitive, as they traded places in the top two ribbons more than once.
Exquisite Step and Teresa Amen, Classy News and Kimberly Moore, LA Kiawah and Melissa Brais, Colour Me Proud and Grace Meyer, Emily Grey and Joan Todd, Stardust's Ruby Tuesday and Donna Spears, A.F. Colour Creation and Megan Mahoney and Run And Shout with Alexandra Ramage claimed the remaining eight ribbons in that order.
Kansas City was ready to defend his title before the week was even over. Oliver took the victory pass with her versatile mount in the Saddle & Bridle Hunter Seat Classic 2006 qualifier, which required all 12 entries to jump an obstacle. Stardust's Ruby Tuesday and owner Donna Spears were reserve.
The Saddle & Bridle Senior Pleasure Medallion Grand Championship showcased incredible talent from the pleasure equitation ranks and was a great way to get Saturday evening started. Though entries were lighter than in years past, 10 riders returned to the ring Saturday evening to put their skills to the test in phase II. The talented group worked hard to impress the panel, but when the cards were turned in, it was Lindsay Haupt taking the grand championship title, under the direction of Zubrod Stables, with Wizard's Icon.
Blair Barrett rode strong under the guidance of Renee Biggins and was all smiles as she accepted the reserve ribbon on Samuel Adams, owned by Pete and Christine Rives. Kristen Koenig, Kelly Creech, Sally McEwen, Anna Hormann, Danielle McGarry, Molly O'Connor, Lauren Woodruff and Aubri Kennamer finished out the top 10 ribbon count in that order.
Molly O'Connor proved to be the only rider for the 2006 Senior Pleasure Medallion qualifier however, since it was not filled, the class did not qualify her for 2006.
Twelve riders competed Friday night for the Saddle & Bridle Junior Pleasure Medallion Grand Championship. Each rider completed the workout with a strong effort and in the end it was Deanna Lanigan who was named the junior medallion grand champion after having won the UPHA Junior Pleasure Challenge Cup National Championship at All American Classic just a few short weeks ago. Instructed by Scott and Carol Matton of Knollwood, Lanigan rode Oh Gee Whiz to the title, which was his second junior pleasure medallion grand championship in a row.
Taking the reserve title back to Paducah, Ky., was Elena Breeden, riding under the Cryst-A-Kell banner. Breeden rode Santana's Diamond to the title. Jourdan Schaye, Jennifer Roberts, Kristen Gardner, Angela Darrow, Molly Bryers, Mallory Hartigan, Avery Bul, and Jessica Randall were the remaining ribbon winners in that order.
Kristen Gardner became the first to qualify for next year's championship by winning the 2006 Junior Pleasure Medallion qualifier under the direction of Robert Gardiner and Jonelle Chovanec Gardiner. Avery Bul was second under the direction of Patty Milligan.
The Saddle & Bridle Five-Gaited Equitation Grand Championship was a fun class to watch as six riders undertook the test of riding in flawless form while maneuvering their gaited horses through the pattern. Brooke Jacobs and Cydni Simmons have both racked up numerous show ring honors between the equitation and five-gaited divisions and this class called on them to showcase their skills in both disciplines. They finished in the top two with Jacobs taking the win under the direction of her father Brent Jacobs. Simmons rode under Tammy Devore's guidance to take the reserve title for Burlington Saddlebreds. Jamie Bender, Victoria Willock, Ashley Budde, and Devon Deckard followed in the ribbons.
These classes are just a few of the highlights of the 28th annual St. Louis National Charity Horse Show. Complete can be seen at by clicking on Show Results.

Director TECOMA Uganda with a group of women living with HIV/Aids eat a Moringa leaf source served with posho bread in Toroma health centre. They say it has tremendously improved on their CD4 count and boosted their immunity. They always educate other people living with HIV/Aids on the health and nutritional benefits Moringa and encourage them to eat Moringa products.
Moringa fresh leaf source pasted with groundnuts ready for consumption in Toroma Health centre in Katakwi District. The fresh leaf source is prepared within a period of 15 minutes to prevent the vitamins from getting denatured.
Fresh leaves are harvested from a Moringa demonstration garden within the health centre. Yellow leaves and sticks are removed because they have low nutrient content. After the sorting, clean water is set to boil while the fresh leaves are washed with cold water. After washing, they are placed in the boiling water. After 10 minutes, groundnut paste is added and left to boil for at least 5 minutes before it is removed to be served.
