A Blueprint for Reinventing Education
By Marty Nemko
Yet the proposed solutions remain basically unchanged, for example, "Reduce class size." despite little evidence for its efficacy let alone cost-effectiveness. And when you think about it, class size reduction won't help and may hurt! For example, if you're a student in a class of 15 versus one of 30, the teacher spends 1/15 vs. 1/30 of time on you. Is that likely to increase your learning so much as to justify saddling the taxpayer, especially in these tight-budget times, with the great cost of doubling the size of America's teaching force? (Don't forget that you'd have to build twice as many buildings!) More important, consider that, to lower class size, schools would have to dig far deeper into the barrel of teacher applicants. Wouldn't you rather have an excellent teacher with 29 classmates than a mediocre teacher with 15?
Yet teachers' unions,
capitalizing on the intuitive appeal of lowering class size,
convince legislators and the public to continue to push for it.
Given the lack of supporting data, could the unions' primary motive
be merely to get their members the same pay for less
Not shackled by such motives,
here is my plan for reinventing education. It has far greater
potential to be a game-changer:
SuperTeachers. Some teachers
are terrific, many are far less so. Now imagine that every student
in America, rural or urban, rich or poor, could get top teachers,
and at lower cost.
Impossible? Not at
all. Nation's-best teachers--for example,
of algebra--could, in collaboration with an expert on online
education, create immersive, simulation-rich, interactive courses,
to be available online. Paraprofessionals would, at the school
site, provide the human touch, answer student questions,
Of course, the teachers'
unions have and would fight this, and because they have powerful
lobbies, will likely continue to prevail.
An approach to improving teaching that would be less effective but more likely to gain teacher's union support: Have prospective teachers trained by master K-12 teachers rather than by university professors who are too often theoreticians who have never taught K-12, let alone been masters at it.
Criticality-selected curriculum. We should ensure that kids graduate with the knowledge needed by most people before we try to teach knowledge needed by few.
For example, could anyone reasonably argue that it's wiser that all high school graduates have taken four years of math filled with quadratic equations, geometric proofs, and trigonometry than a course in rational decision-making? For example, think of how many people graduate from high school and even college with A's in algebra and geometry yet when faced with a decision on whether to buy a house, get involved in a volunteer activity, invest in a business, etc., poorly assess the probability and magnitude of the risks, rewards, and opportunity costs.
Shouldn't learning conflict resolution skills be prioritized over ancient history? How to critique a research finding over the atomic structures of the periodic table of the elements? Ethical entrepreneurship over foreign language? (How well do you speak that foreign language you studied in high school for years?)
Before requiring students to study simultaneous equations, the Doppelganger, and quarks, shouldn't students take a course in life skills: for example, budgeting, interpersonal communication, comprehensive sex education, and parenting education? What could be more important than learning how to be a good parent?
To not make such
curricular changes is to be guilty of the very elitism that many
educators, activists, and politicians decry.
More big projects. Students are minimally motivated by assignments such as worksheets, reading textbook chapters, and math problems 24-96, the evens--or the odds. Students are far more likely to be motivated, for example, by participating in a play to be performed for the entire school, building a robot for an interschool competition, creating a student newspaper, or preparing for an after-school debate tournament open to students and families, just like sporting events. Speaking of which, evidence and common sense suggests that a debate program would improve thinking skills more than any other school activity.
Flex classes. If you wanted to start learning, for example, Greek, would you choose a class for beginners or one in which advanced students comprised half the class, and thus in which much time was spent on material that was (ahem) Greek to you?
Both logic and metaevaluations indicate that placing high- and low-achieving students in the same class is unwise. Yet to avoid certain minority groups being overrepresented in lower-level classes, we now, ever more, mix high- and low-achieving students in the same class. That causes too great a teaching challenge for most teachers and is one of many examples in which, increasingly, education decisions are based more on politics than on pedagogy.
The best answer is not rigid tracking but what I call flex classes. For academic subjects, place students in classes by achievement level but conduct frequent reviews to ensure that all students, especially children of color, are given the opportunity to move up (or down) to fit their learning needs. Non-academic school activities (art, PE, lunch, etc.) could and perhaps should include a wider range of students.
Chronically disruptive students must be placed in special classes. One child should not be allowed to trample on 29 children's right to an education. If a student, despite the teacher's best efforts (with the principal's help,) continues to disrupt classmates' opportunity to learn, that child must be moved to a special class taught by someone with special skills in working with such kids. Mainstreaming sounds good in theory but too often doesn't work in practice.
Begin career exploration in elementary school. Finding an appealing career can motivate many students. And that would reduce the problem of many high school and college graduates having no idea what career to pursue. The marginal validity of career "tests" suggests that more value may come from guest speakers, field trips, and watching videos of people in various careers. Remember that career "test" that said you should be a forest ranger or funeral director?
Give students a choice: a college-prep or an equally high-quality career-prep curriculum. No matter how hard I wish or how hard I work, I will never be even a decent artist, basketball player, let alone engineer. I just can't picture things in three dimensions. Jeez, I can't even remember faces well, even though I use every trick in the book.
Wouldn't it be wiser for me to focus on building on my strengths in language and verbal reasoning rather than to insist on my spending most of my school day remediating my visuo-spatial weaknesses? Yet increasingly, in the name of high standards, even high schoolers who read on a sixth-grade level and who have more ability in making or fixing things or as entrepreneurs, are force-fed a college-prep curriculum replete with Shakespeare, protozoa, and analysis of the War of 1812. In California, you can't get a high school diploma without passing an exam based on a college-preparatory curriculum. Not surprisingly, this causes many to drop out of high school.And when academically weak students do go on to college (today, many colleges are open-admission even to the grossly underprepared), they disproportionately drop out. 200,000 students each year who graduated in the bottom 40% of their high school class go to so-called four-year colleges. Of those, 3/4 of never graduate, even if given 8 1/2 years!
And even if such students manage to defy the odds and graduate, they are unlikely to impress employers. Overwhelmed with applicants, most employers today yawn at applicants with a 2.5 GPA in sociology from Southwest Missouri State. A new report in the Chronicle of Higher Education, The Great College Scam, indicates that 60 percent of the increased number of college graduates from 1992 to 2008 work on jobs requiring just high school!
Meanwhile, such graduates usually have learned little in college. Their mean growth in reading, math reasoning, thinking skills, etc., is unbelievably low. The new and authoritative study, Academically Adrift found that 36% of all college students' learning skills grew not-at-all in four years! And those who did grow, showed small gains.
Not only do most of those students not graduate, learn little, and be no more employable than if they hadn't gone to college, they incurred huge student debt, and suffered the boredom and ongoing assault to self-esteem that comes from being forced to spend years studying academic material for which they are unprepared.
Perhaps most important, such students incur huge opportunity cost: what they could otherwise have done with their time. High school students, who, the longer they're in school, fall further behind, are more likely to derive personal and career success by avoiding college. Instead, many would be wise to choose a path that prepares them for a good career straight out of high school, perhaps augmented by a post-high-school apprenticeship, training in the military, or on-the-job training, for example, at the elbow of a successful, ethical entrepreneur. Ironically, America now has an oversupply of college graduates and an undersupply of, for example, machinists, chefs, retail managers, and entrepreneurs, all of which are jobs that can't be offshored.
Thus, high
schools and perhaps even middle schools, should offer a choice of a
high-quality career-prep as well as college-prep
curriculum. If my own child, through grade 6, showed clear signs of
being unlikely to succeed in a college-prep curriculum, I'd
encourage him or her to choose a career-prep path, which,
yes, taught her reading, writing, critical thinking, etc., but in
the context of preparing her for a career that doesn't require
college, for example, robotics repair or entrepreneurship.
curriculum. Transformative change is most likely to
occur one-on-one. Students, K-20, should be given far greater
opportunities for peer and adult mentoring. For example, a
match.com-like website could match protégés and
Use scaled-down high school campuses: only for extracurricular activities. Especially as America's debt becomes ever more unsustainable, it's unwise to maintain, let alone build large high school campuses. Students should do most academic work at home (iris-recognition software would ensure attendance,) with SuperTeacher-taught classes (see above) with interactivity provided by videoconferencing software, bulletin boards, email, and phone exchanges with students and local tutors. Later in the day, students would go to scaled-down campuses, primarily for extracurricular activities and tutoring.
Now what?
That's my blueprint for
reinventing education. I encourage you to send your reactions and

I'm 21 years old and I just got together with my first boyfriend. It took almost half a year for me to finally agree to be his girlfriend but I did. And not long after becoming "official" he told me he loves me. Ok pause. Background story. We hung out over the summer but it didn't lead to a relationship. We remained friends and apparently we both retained feelings. The thing is I wouldn't say I love him just yet. I care about him a lot I can see a future with him. But I'm not head over heels. Whereas he talks like we're soulmates and he never wants to leave me. I met his family and they're really nice and normal. He obviously grew up with a positive image of a man and woman. I have met his best friend several times. Good sign right? I guess I'm just a little taken aback because we're so young and he is so into me. I guess I'm just a cautious girl. I'd never hurt him or anything. I'm just wondering if I don't know his behavior is OK and should I take it as a good sign? by the way I did not grow up seeing a man and woman happily together so that only further raises my suspicions.
Most Helpful Girl
So it seems like he is either:
1) immature
2) confused
3) actually in love
1) You would probably know by now if he is immature, whether that is something you like or not about him is immaterial; bottom line is that in this case, it isn't actually love.
2) You are the best thing he's had so far, and these new deeper feelings of his are the deepest he's ever felt, so it must be love, right? He believes that he loves you, and this may be due to some confusion just because he's been raised in a home with a strong, successful relationship. In this case, you should definitely talk to him about this, ask him some questions about how old his parents were when they got together (he could be trying to get a similar relationship, since his parents worked out so well), other things like that.
3) If he is neither of the first two options, then he probably really is in love with you, and should understand that you don't feel the same just yet, if you ever will. Let him know that you can see a future with him, but that you aren't comfortable with saying those words before you truly feel them. I'm assuming he is aware of your past experience/witnessing of failed relationships, so just be sure that he knows you aren't as immediately trusting as he is because of it.
In all of these three cases, try dropping subtle things into his head that could lead him to rethink what he's said and make sure that he means it. If it isn't something he would get too touchy about, you can talk with him upfront about it. Just be like "Hey, are you sure you love me?" and run over everything you think could be 'wrong' or misunderstood (not my plan of choice, but hey, whatever works).
No matter what, just tell him how you really feel about it. He became more vulnerable after telling you he loves you, and may not have expected those words back, but he was hoping for them. As long as you're sensitive and you respect his feelings, he should understand and respect your own feelings. This situation doesn't have to be a problem as long as both of you are aware of where your relationship is.00|00|0

Tofuku-ji's San-mon Kyoto Reviews
403 reviews
The oldest Zen gate of its kind Dec 04, 2013
The Tofuku-ji's San-mon (main gate) is located at the foot of Mt Enichi, one of the thirty six peaks of the Higashiyama Mountains. The name is short for Sangedatsumon, which means an enlightenment gate to Nirvana.
Since its establishment the Temple was hit by fires three times in the 14th century and the San-mon gate burned down. The present gate was rebuilt in 1425. There is a nice stone bridge over a pond filled with lotus flowers in front of it.
The San-mon is the largest and oldest Zen temple gate in Japan. The gate is 22 meters tall and has three entrances, two floors, double door construction with a gable and hipped roof covered with ceramic tiles. The square pillars on the four corners of the roof where supplemented when Toyotomi Hideyoshi made large repairs to the gate in 1595 after it was damaged by a great earthquake. Inside there are statues and colourful pictures on both ceiling and pillars. The gate is closed and can therefore not be visited. You have to admire it from the outside.

Malelane - Eleven villagers accused of setting a pastor alight after accusing him of using a magic penis to sleep with women still don't know whether they'll face trial or not.
This comes after their case was once again postponed in the Boschfontein periodical court on Thursday.
"We are still waiting for the Director of Public Prosecutions to decide if the case is ready for trial, but, as the police, we are done with all the investigations," provincial police spokesperson Hlathi told African Eye News Service (Aens).
Initially, 12 villagers, aged between 28 and 50, were arrested in February after Albert Malwane, a pastor of the Izwi Zion Christian Church in Jeppes Reef outside Malalane, was burnt to death a day before.
One of them, Sunnyboy Mthalala, died on May 16 after complaining of painful and swollen feet. He also vomited blood.
Villagers told Aens that when Malwane was buried, his family placed a curse on those responsible for his death.
Malwane's father, Timothy Malwane, confirmed that a curse was released at the pastor's funeral to haunt his son's killers.
Malwane was dragged from his one-roomed house in the Etitandini informal settlement near Jeppes Reef south of Malalane and taken to a hill, where he was set alight.
Malwane's house was also burnt and his wife and daughter went into hiding.
Community members had accused him of talking to animals and using an invisible penis to sleep with women in the informal settlement.
They also accused his wife of turning into a snail and terrorising the community.
The 11 accused have not been asked to plead to charges of murder and arson and are all out on R1 000 bail each.
They are expected to appear in the same court on September 29.

She hasn't found Schroeder yet (easy child's new rat baby) but she is happily tracking Kobe (Matt's 3 year old cat). Kobe seems surprisingly intrigued and not at all intimidated by a new cat in the house. Pepper is orange and white with the longest and softest hair! She has green eyes and has a bob tail. She's really plump and has the prettiest face. I am in love . I can't wait for easy child to get home from school. We picked her out weeks ago but didnt have a date to get her until my friend called this morning saying I could pick her up. So it will be a surprised easy child after school. She's been driving me crazy asking me when, when, when .... for weeks now. I will let easy child take some pictures later tonight and try to post some for you all. She truly is heart melting

I've printed the image onto ivory linen card from Papermill Direct, and added the text using New Garden font. I also outlined the hearts and filled in the bird's wing using a sakura clear stardust pen, but as usual it's not really showing up in the pic. Red textured cardstock is also from Papermill, the black is core'dinations. Gingham ribbon from my stash.

Get this Obama's second term will be defined as him destroying jobs, increasing the costs of most things like fuel, food, and medicine, defined with him prancing around the globe on his farewell tour visiting places like Africa and Europe.
New of him wasting resources to shake hands with other bureoucratic idiots and tyrants is disturbing.
He's enacting a war on carbon, on job growth, on prosperity so as to enable him to think that he is actually saving the world.
He basically killed the US coal industy and put a stop to the keystone pipeline with requirements that they will never be able to meet something about carbon neutrality ?
What idiots voted for this guy ?
So what to expect ? well apparently he won't go on a hunting safari while in Africa because of all the added costs to put up snipers so as to protect the potus from any wild animals that may get to close or who are unfortunate so as to be in his general area as he wastes tax payers monies and pollutes the world with all his added carbon emissions.
So how is our gov-ment spending our money ?
How about 2 million on coffee and breakfast pastries. http://news.yahoo.com/video/house-spent-2-million-coffee-233939304.html
Yes despite sequestrian, the idiots at washington, despite their over paid pay checks have decided to stick tax payers with 2 million tab for their morning caffeine fix and sugar blinge...
How about them fat a$$es pay for their own damn coffee...
Whats next slush funds to pay for mistresses and idiot family members who cant hack it in the real world and thus live off gov-ment rat do nothing jobs..
Oh wait... you weren't suppose to know about slush funds or that tax money goes to drug dealers, pimps, prostitutes, and special interest.
The life of a lobbyist is well paid...
Our country will not be able to survive 3.5 more years of this monster. Let's pray he stays with people of his own ilk and the idiot biden goes to look for him; and gets eaten by a lion....
Recs is not working so +1...
Dr the country will be able to survive, but it won't prosper not like it should.
Its a damn shame given all the unprecedented borrowing and spending stimulus ~ the fact that interest rates have been purposefully manipulated to zero ~ QE to infinity ~ that there is no business leader in the white house but some dumbkoff who never did anything in the private sector who thinks he is actually doing a good job ?
At what ? promoting gay rights while our ambassadors are murdered ~ our citizens are spied upon ~ our secrets are stolen and sold away ~ our space program now consists of a token facility whos mission is to promote muslim friendship ?
WTF are you serious ?
A potus with half a brain would have job growth as his number one priority ~ instead he is creating road blocks and discouraging any sane person from wanting to expand or dare to start a new enterprise.
Had news of all the necessary preparation needed for him and his family to go on an African safari to hunt the wildlife in Africa ~ who knows he might have actually wasted even more resources creating a no fly zone over his safari ~ placing snipers at risk out near BFE in the blazing sun with scopes ready to 187 any wild animal that comes too close to his entourage.
Mister Potus, wtf are you doing ?
Affordable health care my you know what...
Only affordable for those lucky enough to be in the 1%
LZ..you are more optomistic than I, With the influx of +/-30M inferior minorities as a by-product of the new immigration policy there will be millions of jobs lost by natural born citizens, obamacare will be the catalyst which adds an unknown quantity of hard working Americans to the unemployment lines.
This Muslim terrorist potus is following the mandates of his religion and putting forth the destruction of our country and citizens through any means at his disposal. His treasonous actions are for all intents ignored by all of the pathetic news agencies.
These thoughts coupled with your points, tends to lead me to believe our great country is gone.....
You are all TOO KInd. The first president to Publicly order an assassination of an American citizen by drone For "anti-American speech". The First president to be proud of Spying on Americans; Nixon and others Did this too but they were ashamed. Even the Republican Congress Gives him a free ride on these issues. He abuses The IRS power and Taps cell phones of journalists. If you see my obituary tomorrow morning you know why! Actually as History has shown he does not need to silence his critics. No one calls for impeachment for any of these crimes.
I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take it from someone else .-" Thomas Sowell

Saturday's story on corkage policy brought in a serious pour of comments and emails from readers.
A reader from Villa Park, who prefers to remain anonymous, says that he occasionally brings his own wine to restaurants and that they tend to be pretty good bottles. But, he wonders, why he should have to pay a two or three times markup on a wine from the list just because the 2007 Silver Oak he might have brought was already on the restaurant's wine list. He feels the $15 or $30 corkage fee is more than enough to cover the "shame" the waiter might have had to endure for popping the cork on his lower class wine.
Good points -- but that two or three times markup he mentions is a bit behind the times. Markups are more like two and a half times wholesale (not retail) and on up to four times. True, waiters are often less than enthusiastic about opening a cheap bottle of wine.
But add the cost of the corkage onto the price of that bottle, and cheap wine plus corkage is not always the bargain it may seem. You could spend that same $30 or $40 on something from the list and get a better wine in the end. Part of what you're paying for when you dip into a restaurant's wine list is the expertise of the person who put the list together.
That's not saying that every wine list includes wonderful bargains at the low end. Some restaurateurs cede the duties to a distributor and the temptation is, of course, to pad the list with plonk that's otherwise hard to sell.
I feel strongly that customers would order more wine -- and better wine - -if restaurants kept prices more reasonable. The cost of wines by the glass versus craft beer is one reason some are leaning toward beer with dinner.
And that's precisely why some restaurateurs have introduced wines in keg. They can offer the wines at a lower cost and ordering is less intimidating. I wrote a story about that recently.
For every manager and wine buyer like Taylor Parsons at Republique -- who feels every bottle of wine should be served with the same attention as the most expensive bottle on his list -- there's restaurant that treats BYOB bottles with less respect.
Reader and wine collector Jim Ruxin of Brentwood complains that "at most restaurants other than the city's best, the servers treat outside bottles like they were house plonk and fill the glass too high. They need to be prompted about smaller pours out of the bottle, so accustomed are they to trying to sell more of their own wine. Very few servers at mid-range restaurants have any sense of the notion of letting a wine breathe, which is often needed with higher value bottles brought in from the outside. Decanters are often scarce."
Overfilling wine glasses is one of my pet peeves at restaurants, so much so that I often just tell the waiter that we'll pour it ourselves. That way we control the bottle -- and anybody at the table who's a quick drinker doesn't get more than their fair share of the wine.
Connie Brescher of Port Hueneme writes, "I understand the point you are making regarding corkage fees in fine restaurants but honestly, you and I know that the profit margin for most restaurants is not in the food but in the signature cocktails, wine, etc."
"Why does the customer/patron have to be charged exorbitant corkage fees or pay 4 times the amount for a bottle of wine than the retail price -- not fair! I would rather pay for good food, go to a restaurant with a reasonable wine list or pay a low corkage fee or none at all."
She's put her finger on the conundrum everybody in the business knows is true. Drinkers subsidize the cost of the food at restaurants -- and alcoholic beverages fuel much of a restaurant's profit.
Although many wine lovers tote bottles to high-end restaurants in order to afford to drink a beautiful wine with their meal, reader Ed Wood tends to bring wine to less expensive restaurants.
"I've been to Lucques," Wood comments, "and prefer to enjoy the adventure of their wine list. On the other hand, I also go to a less expensive local Italian restaurant near me in the 'burbs and bring my own. That is because their wine offerings are the usual mass market stuff provided by the distributors. Not saying that all of it is bad, or even most of it, but it is too familiar."
Other readers pointed out that it's often the restaurants with the most limited and boring — and overpriced wine lists — that charge a high corkage. And some of them don't even have good glassware. Or staff who know how to pour wine.
So what are you exactly paying for?
Jim Ruxin again gets it right: "My point is that high corkage does nothing to develop loyalty among wine-loving diners. And loyalty is the single most important factor in sustaining a restaurant over time."
Anybody listening out there?

I like driving fast. Do you? There is something exhilarating about accelerating. Maybe it's the thrill of letting go, of yielding to the unknown and trusting intuition versus the limiting, logical mind. In that space of letting go, we experience a deep sense of connection with ourselves and the energy around us. We're present. We're aware. We're alive. Does it feel to you that time moves faster now than it did before? The days, weeks, months, and years seem to zip past us. Perhaps this acceleration is on the quantum level, the spiritual level. We attribute it to time because we have no other point of reference. What if we're in an invisible vehicle that's accelerating and our current scientific instruments don't know how to measure this Continue Reading
The Spiritual Side of Conflict
Conflict. What comes to mind? In today's world, we often associate conflict with negative images and feelings. We believe conflict is destructive, unnatural, and unhealthy. In turn, we approach conflict from a position of fear and uncertainty. We do whatever we must to restore a sense of power and certainty in the situation. We push to end the conflict quickly and in our favor, or we go to extremes to avoid the person and situation. Is this familiar? In this ego-based paradigm, we view conflict as a proverbial "pie" to divide with winners and losers. There is a model I've adapted from Thomas-Kilmann highlighting five main conflict styles based on a scale of assertiveness (concern for self) versus cooperativeness (concern for other).

To Be Or Not to Be? That is the Authenticity Question.
What does it mean to be authentic? Have you ever heard the phrase, "die before you die"? Check this out. "To be, or not to be, that is the question…" Hamlet's words resonated in my soul as a disillusioned and frustrated teenager. Now, nearly thirty years later, I have a greater appreciation for the seeds of consciousness embedded in this insightful soliloquy. Who is Hamlet conversing with in this monologue? Himself? Yes. We all talk to ourselves, right? I had no idea how profound the notion of conversing with oneself could be in understanding authenticity, until many years into adulthood. Take a moment to tune into the voice in your head. If you ask, "What voice?" That's the voice. Keep listening. Are you present to the Continue Reading

He was running away for his life. Hot, sweaty, hungry, and alone. Forced into hiding. Forced to run for his life. Forced to do things he would not normally do because if he didn't, he wouldn't survive. He had to run so quickly from his enemy that he didn't have the opportunity to grab his weapon. As David found his way to the priest he asked for food. He also needed something else – a way to defend himself.
"David asked Ahimelech, 'Don't you have a spear or a sword here? I haven't brought my sword or any other weapon…." (1 Samuel 21:8)
He would have taken anything-a sword, a spear, something to protect himself against the dangers on the unknown journey ahead.
At this moment, the anointing that David had received to become king was years in the past. When Samuel anointed him, he was just a boy, and now he was a man. The fulfillment of the promise that he would become king was no where in view. Rather, it was the opposite. His reality was that he was a man with a price on his head. King Saul, David's enemy, would come days later and destroy the entire town that the priest lived in. Every single man, woman and child would no longer be living because Saul's wrath was so great against David.
David was forced to live in the in-between of a promise he had received and the reality of living like a criminal in hiding. He would face years of hardship. That was his reality. The anointing must have felt like a far off dream from another time in his life.
It is at this moment of what could have been a huge discouragement to David that God intervenes.
God sent a loving reminder of His faithfulness in the past:
The priest replies to David " The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah is here. It is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want it, take it; there is no sword here but that one." (1 Samuel 21:9)
The sword that the priest had on hand, just happened to be Goliath's sword. The one that David had used to kill his first enemy he had ever faced. God knew that David needed a physical reminder that the Lord had fought his battles before in the past and He would fight his battles in the future. As a boy, he was sustained by the strength of God, and killed the giant. He needed to remember that God who gave him victory would again sustain him.
David answered the priest "There is none like it, give it to me." (1 Samuel 21:9)
As David drew that sword, he remembered that God had given him victory over his enemy. And in the following months and years to come he held onto that truth.
He remembered God's faithfulness on the long nights in the desert.
He remembered God's strength as he lived in the darkness of a cave.
He remembered God's promises as he was forced to flee to Philistine enemy territory.
He remembered God's victory as he took his sword into battle.
In the darkest moments of David's life, he remembered that God had defeated his enemy, and God would do so again.
We too need to remember God's faithfulness and victories in our past. As we read God's promises and as we take a hold of what he has spoken into our lives we sometimes are forced to wait. Waiting can be hard, tedious, exhausting. It is in these moments that we must remember his power, his miracles, his loving-kindness to us. David grabbed a hold of Goliath's sword and used it to defeat every single enemy that came into his life.We too must take hold of the promises he has given us and remember that His Word will accomplish what He desires and achieve the purposes for which it was set out for (Isaiah 55:11). What he has spoken will come to pass.
I have spoken and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed and I will do it. (Isaiah 46:11 ESV)
Remember His promises. And take your sword of the Word and use it to defeat the enemy that wages war against your soul.
Heavenly Father, often I feel like I am waiting for your word to come to pass. Help me to have faith and trust that you are working on my behalf. Help me to defeat the enemy by remembering your faithfulness and your promises of truth.

India approves $100 Million Aid for Afghanistan

Ahead of Afghan President Hamid Karzai's visit here next week, India Thursday cleared USD 100 million aid for the third phase of the small developmental projects (SDPs) for Afghanistan as part of its commitment on a USD 2 billion aid programme.
The outlay for the third Phase of the Small Developmental Projects is 100 million dollars or approximately Rs 540 crore, Finance Minister P Chidambaram told reporters.
The SDPs directly impact local communities and support social-economic development, provide livelihood, help conserve environmental and cultural heritage, empower women, promote child welfare and facilitate community life through creation of infrastructure in the education, health, agriculture and agro-industry, renewable energy, trade, transport and communication, recreation and community development sectors, a cabinet pressnote said.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who will begin his tour from Mumbai, will interact with the business community there and seek greater investment in his country in various sectors. Briefing the reporters on the Presidential visit, Afghan Ambassador Shaida Mohammad Abdali said, Karzai was coming to India at "a critical time" as international combat troops prepare to withdraw from Afghanistan by 2014.
Karzai will also deliver the annual Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad annual lecture on November 11. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Karzai will hold wide-ranging talks, including on regional security situation and safety of Indian nationals and Indian projects on November 12 in New Delhi. The two leaders will discuss a range of key issues of mutual interest, Abdali said, adding efforts to intensify the India-Afghanistan strategic dialogue on bilateral and regional issues will also be made by the Afghan side.
India has also agreed to train upto 600 Afghan Army officers every year in India under a pact that President Hamid Karzai is expected to sign with India early next week, highly placed sources have told NDTV.
The program is the first concrete follow-up on military-to-military cooperation under the umbrella of the Strategic Partnership Agreement that was signed between Kabul and New Delhi in 2011 when President Karzai was given a grand reception in India.
Under the agreement, India, which has the world's third-largest army, agreed to train, equip and build the capacity of the Afghan forces.

STAFFORD, Va. (AP) — Stafford authorities say a couple has been arrested after holding a man hostage and forcing him to withdraw money from an ATM and make purchases using his credit card.
The sheriff's office says a woman told an employee at the BB&T bank in Stafford that a man told her he was being robbed. She said she'd seen him leave the lot in a car driven by a couple and provided authorities with the license plate. The bank staff then called 911 and sheriff's deputies were dispatched to an address matching the car's registration. When a man answered he told the deputies he was being held hostage by the couple inside.
Authorities say the man had been held since Sunday, and during that time he was forced to withdraw money. He also suffered lacerations and broken bones.
Police have charged 28-year-old Jamhal Blanks and 18-year-old Brianna Archie with extortion.

When dividing fractions, why does the method of multipying by the reciprocal of the second fraction work
- print Print
- list Cite
When dividing fractions, why does the method of multipying by the reciprocal of the second fraction work.
(1) This rule is true for all real numbers except 0 -- division is simply multiplication by the multiplicative inverse (called the reciprocal). Thus dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 1/2.
(2) In the case of dividing by fractions: consider `(a/b)/(c/d)` . This is called a compound fraction, and like many other constructions is frowned upon-- usually for no other reason than historical precedent. Anyway, you should not have a fraction in the numerator or denominator.
We can multiply this expression by one without changing it -- the trick is to find a suitable form of one. One idea is to realize that (c/d)(d/c)=1. Thus if we multiply the original compound fraction `(a/b)/(c/d)` by `(d/c)/(d/c)` we have formed an equivalent expression -- better, the denominator is now 1, thus `(a/b*d/c)/1` . Dividing by one leaves the expression unchanged so `(a/b)/(c/d)=a/b*d/c` which is the rule you asked about as d/c is the reciprocal of c/d (as long as neither c nor d is 0)
(3) Another way to see this is to again start with `(a/b)/(c/d)` . This time multiply numerator and denominator by b/1. (Note that (b/1)/(b/1) is just 1, so the result is equivalent). Then you get `(a/1)/(bc/d)=a/(bc/d)` . Now multiply by (d/1)/(d/1) to get `(ad/1)/(bc/1)=(ad)/(bc)=a/b*d/c` .

Actually, V has had a lot of bloggable quips since the school year began. But I haven't had time to capture them in text or in photos. Finally here they are, though no photos yet.
On the way home from school one afternoon. In the background on the radio, there's a contest being held for Supafest tickets. Give the correct answer to the question and you win tix. Question: What do you call the plastic at the ends of shoelaces?
V (in a calm voice): Aglets
Me: What?
V: Aglets. The answer is aglets.
Me: Where did you learn that?
V: From TV! I learned it from Phineas and Ferb. TV rocks!
Unfortunately, we were not fast enough to text the answer. Pffffft.
From a Filipino subject seatwork. Topic: Pangngalang pantangi at pambalana. Panuto: Tukuyin kung ang salita ay pambalana o pantangi. Kung pantangi, isulat ang salitang pambalanang katumbas nito.
So far lahat naman okay, until…
Ateneo de Manila –> pantangi –> pandesal –> isang malaking X mula sa guro!
Me: Ano 'to? Bakit pandesal??
V: Eh kasi it sounded like Pan de Manila eh…
Topic in English is how to use the dictionary, so she has been practicing searching for words in it. One day, she sounded… hmmm.. I dunno, parang excited or intrigued.
V: Mom, look, there's sex in my dictionary.
Me: Oh okay, that's a valid word.
V: I wonder what it means…
Me (Obviously going the safe way): It just means boy or girl… It's a normal word. Nothing bad about it.
V (reads the definition aloud and comes to the word "copulation"): Anong copulation?
I scratch my head. Ano nga ba? How do I explain words like these to a nine-year-old???
I so love V for what she wrote in an English test. Instruction: Write a paragraph about what each family member does. (Emphasis mine.)
My sister, brother and I study hard so Papa and Mama are always happy. Mama buys us things and gives us what we need. Papa works hard so he can give Mama lots of money so she can buy everything we need.
Read that, Papa? Give me lots of money, okay? hahahahaha
Asides… Motor vehicles are easy to insure, but how about trailers and 5th wheels? Good Sam provides 5th wheel warranty and extended service plans for trailers.

text: Effects of Vastus Medialis Oblique Retraining versus General Quadriceps Strengthening on Vasti OnsetBENNELL, KIM1; DUNCAN, MARGARET1; COWAN, SALLIE1; McCONNELL, JENNY1; HODGES, PAUL2; CROSSLEY, KAY1,3Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise: May 2010 - Volume 42 - Issue 5 - p 856-864 doi: 10.1249/MSS.0b013e3181c12771 Clinical Sciences Abstract Author Information Purpose: To compare the effects of vastus medialis oblique (VMO) motor control retraining (MCR) and quadriceps strengthening (QS) exercises on the onset timing of the medial (VMO) and lateral (vastus lateralis, VL) quadriceps muscle. Methods: This single-blind randomized controlled trial involved 60 currently pain-free individuals with a history of anterior knee pain and delayed (>10 ms) onset of VMO relative to VL during stair stepping. A blinded assessor took measures at baseline, immediately after 6 wk of treatment, and after an 8-wk follow-up. Both exercise programs involved weekly individual physiotherapy sessions with home exercises. The MCR program comprised specific VMO exercises incorporating EMG biofeedback, mostly in functional weight-bearing positions. The QS program comprised progressive-resistance inner range open kinetic chain exercises. The primary outcome was the latency between the onset of VMO EMG activity relative to that of VL during stair stepping measured using surface electrodes. Results: During stair ascent, there was a significant change immediately after the intervention in VMO-VL timing in the MCR group only (P = 0.04), but there was no significant difference in the change between groups. During stair descent, VMO-VL timing changed in both groups (P < 0.01), with the MCR group showing a greater change than the QS group (P = 0.02). At the completion of training, quadriceps strength was only improved in the QS group (all P < 0.001). At follow-up, VMO timing and quadriceps strength had improved in both groups compared with baseline (P < 0.01), but there was no difference between groups. Conclusions: Although greater changes in motor control during stair descent and strength are induced by interventions that target each of these parameters in the short term, both parameters are similarly improved after the cessation of training, regardless of the target of the intervention. 1Centre for Health, Exercise and Sports Medicine, School of Physiotherapy, University of Melbourne, AUSTRALIA; 2Centre for Clinical Research Excellence in Spinal Pain, Injury and Health, School of Health and Rehabilitation Science, University of Queensland, AUSTRALIA; and 3Department of Mechanical Engineering, Melbourne School of Engineering, University of Melbourne, AUSTRALIA Address for correspondence: Kim Bennell, B.App.Sc.(Physio), Ph.D., Centre for Health, Exercise and Sports Medicine, School of Physiotherapy, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia 3010; E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Spain and Bollywood–a Marriage Made in Heaven
April 25, 2014 | Comments Off on Spain and Bollywood–a Marriage Made in Heaven | Betsy Woodman
One of my favorite Hindi movies is the 2011 blockbuster Zindagi na Milegi Dobara (Life Doesn't Come Twice.) It's the story of three bachelors taking a road trip through Spain, just before one of them is supposed to get married. Each picks a dangerous sport and the others are honor-bound to try it out with him, and they're all pushed to their limits. The film explodes with energy. It's also highly authentic in its details–it was shot on …Read More

Sam's Amazing List is a web-based essay that, through expositions, interviews, videos and photographs, revisits and responds to an online journal I kept at age 14.Using web standards (HTML, CSS & JS), I will create an immersive online personal essay that uses archived websites, video, audio and other media (produced by me) to explore the role of the internet in adolescence through the lens of the original Sam's Amazing List, a website I maintained on Geocities during my freshman year of high school.
The form of the story will use web tools old and new. I will conduct interviews with old friends. Readers will be able to log in to their old accounts on bygone websites in situ so our internet histories are entwined. I will create vignettes relating to people, places and events noted on the original Sam's Amazing List and incorporate them into the essay. Ultimately, the essay will be presented as a single-page immersive web experience that embraces the internet as both subject and object.
In recent weeks, I've been researching topics relevant to this project:
- Analysis of the adolescent psyche, specifically the "imaginary audience" / "personal fable" theories and research specific to web-based self-expression in adolescence.
- Looking at internet history by conversing with peers about experiences on the web and performing exercises in which I document my initial reactions to my old websites.
- Exploring and prototyping new forms of online storytelling with sites like MetaFilter and tools like TouchCast as inspiration for ways to present rich annotation. I've also built prototypes to that end.
I'll be posting updates here as I enter the production phase of the project.

Last week I had my annual dermatologist appointment and as you know, Dr. Valerie Gallais and I always finish with the fun part: our conversation about beauty and her latest favorite products.
Whenever I see her, if I've started using a new product I take it with me and ask her what she thinks. While I was there I also interviewed her for my beauty chapter so I'm saving some secrets, but of course I'll share a couple with you today.
A few weeks ago I told you I was trying a new product, but I wanted to test it first. I have and I love it and better yet, Dr. Gallais approves.
My latest find is Peeling Jeunesse, a "resurfacing" peel with botanicals from the Darphin Paris professional care line. It may be a "professional" product, but it is sold without prescription and it really, really works. There is one caveat however, it may not be suitable for extremely sensitive skin.
It is to be applied on a dry, cleansed face with a cotton pad imbibed in the clear liquid with a blot, blot, blot, technique — avoiding the eye area of course. Naturally the peel is applied on the entire face and if you desire you can just keep on moving down the neck and onto the chest. I haven't moved below my chin as yet, but I intend to do so.
Full disclosure: It stings like crazy for a couple of minutes. In my twisted mind I'm thinking, "that's because it's doing its job(!)"
This is what the hype promises and I honestly found it to be true: ". . . experience the radiance and smoothness of a low-level glycolic peel with less irritation that instantly brightens, refines skin's texture, and minimizes fine lines."
The peel is to be used at night, only once a week, no rinsing. You wake-up in the morning, rinse with warm water and look at the lovely results — a clear, ever-so-slightly rosy glow. Add day cream.
When I presented my pretty little bottle to Dr. Gallais she approved, adding that, as I said, it could be too harsh for some women.
While she was my captive audience I asked her if she noticed if women were less interested in certain procedures they liked in the past. She told me that fillers and Botox in small dosages continue to be at the top of to-do lists, but that there is almost no demand for light fruit acid peels.
"With products like the Darphin peel and Foamer 15, women can get very similar results at home," she said.
Then I asked her if I could use a deeper, more invasive professional peel with her. "Absolutely not," she assured me. It was a perfect day. . .

Doctors support biggest local reconfiguration in NHS, says HuntBMJ 2013; 347 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.f6593 (Published 01 November 2013) Cite this as: BMJ 2013;347:f6593
- Adrian O'Dowd
- 1London
Ambitious plans to reconfigure nine hospitals across northwest London have the blessing of local doctors, said England's health secretary, Jeremy Hunt.
Hunt announced on 30 October that he was backing plans to reconfigure health services in northwest London that were presented to him in advice from the Independent Reconfiguration Panel, the group of experts that advises the health secretary on changes to NHS services.
However, the trade union Unite described the plans as a "cause for considerable concern," especially the downgrading of two accident and emergency departments to urgent care centres and changes planned for another two emergency departments.
The panel was asked to scrutinise proposals made earlier this year by the Shaping a Healthier Future programme led by …

In the winter, do you wear bronzer, self-tanner, or neither?
i use Nars "Laguna" bronzer.
Neither, I go as I am
I wear brozer on my cheeks and spread the remainder left on my brush around my forehead and jawline
bronzer.. just a tiny bit though.
I am afraid!! of bronzer. I always end up looking orange or bruised.
I just wear my usual blush. I'm too pale to wear any kind of bronzer. I think I'd wind up looking like an Oompa Loompa.
I wear both year round. I did have to search to find the perfect non-orange shades for me, but it is possible. You just have to be patient!
I just use a little bronzer in the winter, I like Nars Laguna.
Neither--I just use Benefit's Georgia on my cheeks.
Whatever blush I'm using seems to get the color back.
I use olay Tinted moisture , And Bit of bronze
I use MAC bronser in 'Golden' to give my face some colour during the winter
Bronzers looks too dirty on me or too orange.
I used to use LORAC Gold shimmer.
I am debating to purchase 24K Gold from Jane Iredale
Has anyone tried that?
I use powder bronzer with a pink or peach blush on top , I am pale all year so this combo helps me look like I have a pulse

Another year has passed. I am a year older. Because I have my blog (and chemo brain so I need my blog) I can look up and see where I was a year ago. I was coming back from vacation and going to have gall bladder surgery. My gall bladder is all healed but I still can't eat fatty foods - probably will never. And now I have back issues. I guess I have to have a stern discussion with my body: this year is for getting healthy and not having more issues. I want a healthy year. Why not? I deserve one. Finally. For once.
Anyway, we are on vacation and I am having a good day. My back is not having a good day. It doesn't like kayaking, walking around, or riding in cars but otherwise is okay. We are going home tomorrow but I refuse to pack on my birthday. I'll do it all tomorrow. Procrastination can be a good thing.

The History Of Herodotus Volume 2 of 2
Page: 146222. The allies then who were dismissed departed and went away, obeying the word of Leonidas, and only the Thespians and the Thebans remained behind with the Lacedemonians. Of these the Thebans stayed against their will and not because they desired it, for Leonidas kept them, counting them as hostages; but the Thespians very willingly, for they said that they would not depart and leave Leonidas and those with him, but they stayed behind and died with them. The commander of these was Demophilos the son of Diadromes.
223. Xerxes meanwhile, having made libations at sunrise, stayed for some time, until about the hour when the market fills, and then made an advance upon them; for thus it had been enjoined by Epialtes, seeing that the descent of the mountain is shorter and the space to be passed over much less than the going round and the ascent. The Barbarians accordingly with Xerxes were advancing to the attack; and the Hellenes with Leonidas, feeling that they were going forth to death, now advanced out much further than at first into the broader part of the defile; for when the fence of the wall was being guarded, 225 they on the former days fought retiring before the enemy into the narrow part of the pass; but now they engaged with them outside the narrows, and very many of the Barbarians fell: for behind them the leaders of the divisions with scourges in their hands were striking each man, ever urging them on to the front. Many of them then were driven into the sea and perished, and many more still were trodden down while yet alive by one another, and there was no reckoning of the number that perished: for knowing the death which was about to come upon them by reason of those who were going round the mountain, they 226 displayed upon the Barbarians all the strength which they had, to its greatest extent, disregarding danger and acting as if possessed by a spirit of recklessness.
224. Now by this time the spears of the greater number of them were broken, so it chanced, in this combat, and they were slaying the Persians with their swords; and in this fighting fell Leonidas, having proved himself a very good man, and others also of the Spartans with him, men of note, of whose names I was informed as of men who had proved themselves worthy, and indeed I was told also the names of all the three hundred. Moreover of the Persians there fell here, besides many others of note, especially two sons of Dareios, Abrocomes and Hyperanthes, born to Dareios of Phratagune the daughter of Artanes: now Artanes was the brother of king Dareios and the son of Hystaspes, the son of Arsames; and he in giving his daughter in marriage to Dareios gave also with her all his substance, because she was his only child.
225. Two brothers of Xerxes, I say, fell here fighting; and meanwhile over the body of Leonidas there arose a great struggle between the Persians and the Lacedemonians, until the Hellenes by valour dragged this away from the enemy and turned their opponents to flight four times. This conflict continued until those who had gone with Epialtes came up; and when the Hellenes learnt that these had come, from that moment the nature of the combat was changed; for they retired backwards to the narrow part of the way, and having passed by the wall they went and placed themselves upon the hillock, 227 all in a body together except only the Thebans: now this hillock is in the entrance, where now the stone lion is placed for Leonidas. On this spot while defending themselves with daggers, that is those who still had them left, and also with hands and with teeth, they were overwhelmed by the missiles of the Barbarians, some of these having followed directly after them and destroyed the fence of the wall, while others had come round and stood about them on all sides.

This D vitamin is refreshing optio among the dull-to-take regular pills and the price is very affordable as well, buti wish it would contant no corn syrup and cane sugar. They are not the healthiest sweeteners to say the least and in my optinion don't have place in such supplement. Stevia is much better alternative to sweeten it. It Is a herb, ZERO Glycemic index AND ZERO calories! The perfect sweetener for me. I use it all the time.

Shook it and sprayed several times into the air(it really does "fill up" a room), but didn't like the smell at all... Sure, you can recognize the Jasmine, but it's not that awesome natural smell, that I am looking for. It's hard to describe it, but you can tell the "unnaturalness", if I can say it this way. This or maybe I was with higher expectations, that usual after using Heritage Product's Rose Petals Rose Water. You can spray this rose water product in your eyes (and it is actually beneficial). This one - I would never spray it on body, let alone face/eyes.

Last time I bought a bottle of these, the softgel's contents had terrible, rancid smell. To make matters worse, I discovered that fact, when I was already through half the container, putting in my body this unworthy product. According to the expiration date listed on the bottle, it still had several months of good use, but I guess the raw product used for this batch was not on the necessary level. After some time I "bumped" into this item once again, this time in iHerb's Super Specials section. It was a good deal and I've read quite a few articles praising the krill oil, stating how superior it is to the fish oil and so on. So I pulled the trigger and bought the stuff again. This time, when it arrived, the first thing I did was to chew one softgel to see if this time it was all good. Well, fortunately the nasty smell was replaced with the regular "fishy" smell. It is not a pleasant smell, but at least I can tell it was fresh. A month later and the bottle was finitó. Frankly, I didn't feel any better compared to when I was on regular fish oil. Maybe it would take longer time to notice any difference. Maybe it contains more antioxidants per gram. Maybe.Maybe.Maybe. To see for myself it will cost me time and money with uncertain results. That's why I am ditching the krill oil for good and return to regular fish oil (the one offered by Natural Factors is pretty concentrated and the New Chapter Salmon oil is of exceptional quality) and sometimes plant based omega formulas (flax oil, borage, evening primrose) for a change.

This sauce has very nice taste and it really (for me) isn't too sweet and the fact, that grape juice is used to sweeten it is very good fact to hear, although stevia might have been even better choice. But still - the Glycemic Index is low enough and I like to consume it with yogurt/cereal/ice cream topping etc.

When I was ordering this product I didn't expect it to be such an awesome product. I don't use garlic powder that often (I prefer the fresh one), but I decided to give this product a try partly because I have tried the paprika powder from the same brand and was left with great impression and partly because I need powder in some new dishes I am currently trying. I have to say, that this one is definitely worth it. It is not bland and the garlic smell and taste is there (in a good way)! There are many dishes, that benefit from putting garlic in it (I like mainly the Mediterranean) and this product won't be a waste of money or a "meal-spoiler". It's more expensive, than the other brands offered here, in iHerb, but I think it's worth it to try and then decide whether or not you want to continue purchasing it. Overall: here are my pros and cons: + Glass bottle + High Quality + Not Chinese garlic (unlike several other brands) + Taste isn't washed out + Reputable brand - Somewhat small package - A little bit pricier.
I am not a baby, but decided to give this baby food a try, especially since some of my favorite foods are Sweet potatoes, blueberry and pumpkin. The taste is balanced, definitely not (too) sweet and I mostly feed the Apple and Pumpkin's flavor. Overal, it's very nice and healthy, but I guess I prefer the freshly prepared equavalent.

This product worked when i started to take it (experienced gas, bloating) but still it did not work in the way i would like to be( laxative effect). The potency is not one of the highest too considering that there are products with 30-50 billion per capsule(this having only one).
I always liked the coffee smell, but never liked its taste. This one though - it's different! First of all - its healthy and packs mushrooms, which I also use as standalone products. And the way I prepare it - it's a little piece of heaven! Goat milk + 1 measuring spoon of this coffee + 1 measuring spoon of herbal coffee (it's not decaffeinated coffee, but HERBAL based coffee. It's available here on iHerb. Search for "herbal coffee alternative") + a little bit stevia (I recommend the "NuNaturals" one, since it really is nonbitter and taste great) , stir and ENJOY heavenly tasting healthy coffee. P.S. some may like to add vanilla (if you like its flavor) and that's okay, but I like it this way VERY much!
Bilberry is definitely one of my favorite foods and I try to ear it whenever possible, but when the natural form isn't available, I like to supplement with product like this one. And 21st Century's (and because of iHerb) price is just incredibly affordable and around half the price of similar products. I just purchased it and I can't tell muh about its properties, but when I do have more insights about it, I will update this review! Thaks iHerb for offering these great products on amazng prices!

Methods and knowledge about traceability is developed in a joint research project between SCA packaging, Philips and Lund University. This paper is based on a case study at van Eerd Group, a retail chain in Holland. Discrete event simulation is used as a method to analyse different scenarios, based on the existing case system. It is clear that intelligent packages play an important role not only for the customer but also for the retailer and the supply chain. In the study it is indicated that intelligent packages can be used to reorganize future supply chains towards more efficient and cost effective distribution systems. Because of the flexibility with RFID technology temperature and handling information can be collected and analysed later. This additional information is important for providing good customer satisfaction and security.
