BOOK REVIEW The tunnellers of Holzminden POW camp
Western Australian state Liberal parliamentarian Peter Abetz (brother of Tasmanian Liberal Senator Eric Abetz) argues that Australia still has the capacity to develop a flourishing car industry.
Peter Abetz MP
I believe that the decision to allow the car industry in Australia to come to an end will have very serious implications, not only in the short term for employment, but also for the future well-being of our nation.
Over the summer holidays I read Bob Worth's book, The Battle for Australia: A Nation and its Leader Under Siege (Macmillan Australia, 2013), which recounts much of the internal goings on of the Curtin government during the Second World War.
In this book, we read that Churchill was of the view that the first priority of the war was to defeat Hitler; that the Japanese advances in the Pacific were a secondary issue; and that if Australia were to be invaded, then so be it. Churchill was able to convince Roosevelt that the defeat of Hitler had to be the top priority of the Second World War.
At the time, Australia, even though it had a population of around seven million, had very limited capacity in manufacturing.
We were totally dependent on the goodwill of Britain and the United States to provide us with aeroplanes and military vehicles. Britain declined to make available any military supplies to Australia. Nor did America, initially.
The only reason Australia was not invaded was because the Japanese supply lines were so stretched that the Japanese decided that to invade Australia would be one bridge too far — although part of the Japanese military was keen to invade.
The lesson learnt by the Australian community at the time was the importance of having a sound manufacturing base. As a result, the postwar government encouraged General Motors to establish a motor vehicle manufacturing facility in Australia, which in turn helped to develop our engineering and manufacturing capacity.
Subsequently, other car manufacturers set up here. Ford already had an assembly plant in Geelong prior to the Second World War; but after 1945 we really began to develop our capacity.
We made Chamberlain tractors at an ex-munitions factory in Welshpool, Western Australia, and produced the Nomad aircraft. Australia deliberately developed very considerable skills in the engineering manufacturing field.
If our nation were ever to fall on bad times — which today certainly does not loom on the horizon, but one never knows what lies beyond — one can only wonder what the consequence will be if we enter a period of hostilities and have lost the expertise and manufacturing plants that could produce military hardware.
We only need to remember that the Russians, after the Germans began to invade in 1941, were able rapidly to convert their Stalingrad tractor factory into producing tanks. If we have no car manufacturing left in Australia, we simply will not have such a capacity.
It is often said that the Australian car industry is so inefficient that we simply cannot compete on the world market. While this is often repeated, it is actually far from true.
It is, however, true that our manufacturing plants have been so heavily unionised that we have too many very inefficient and very high-cost work practices in place. The reality is that the Australian car industry, according to the Australian Society of Automotive Engineers, is one of the least subsidised motor vehicle industries in the world.
Let me give you an example. In Germany, because of the country's over-reliance on renewable energy, the cost of electricity has escalated to a point where many industries are looking to move out of Europe. To assist the motor vehicle industry, and to assist it in being competitive, the German government has decreed that car manufactures pay the cost of electricity at a rate equal to the cost of producing it from coal-fired power stations, which is the very cheapest available electricity.
This amounts to a multi-billion-dollar subsidy to the German motor vehicle industry. The Australian motor industry enjoys no such energy subsidy.
Or take Japan. The Japanese motor vehicle industry is heavily protected by the country's corporate law, which prohibits any car-dealer selling more then one brand. Furthermore, no director of a company that sells a particular brand of vehicle can be a director of another company that sells a different brand of vehicle.
The result is that Japan has a very limited range of brands available on the market. This scheme very effectively protects its motor vehicle industry.
Here is another example of subsidies in other countries. When Ford Australia had plans in hand to begin producing the Ford Focus Sedan in Victoria for the Southeast Asian market, the Thai government approached Ford in Detroit and offered free land for a new factory and no taxes for a number of years. It was a no-brainer as to what Ford did. Thailand offered a far more attractive proposition.
To what extent is the Thai motor vehicle industry subsidised by government? Perhaps it's not an overt cash subsidy. Rather, it's a subsidy in free land with an exemption from taxes for a number of years, and so on.
It's noteworthy that Ford has a development team in Geelong. That team has to tender with all other Ford countries to develop new cars. The Australian team is able to develop new motor vehicles as competitively as any other Ford development centre in the world.
The Australian team was awarded the contract to develop a new four-cylinder sedan for the Indian market. Why? Because Australia could develop this sedan more cheaply than India's engineers.
The Australian team is involved in developing the new Ford Transit van for the world market. This van will be built in China, but the development work is being done in Australia. Why? Because it's the cheapest place to do it, even though we have high wages.
It indicates something of the teamwork at which Australians excel and the level of expertise found amongst our engineers.
The other concern I have about allowing the automotive manufacturing industry to disappear from our shores is that it will have a flow-on effect to other manufacturing industries, including the aviation industry and other engineering-related businesses.
Australia has always been a comparatively high-cost country, but the subsidies that are offered by other countries are often ignored by those who talk about Australia's industry being inefficient.
A further concern I have is this: In many ways, the demise of the Australian motor vehicle industry has been brought about in large part by the purchasing choices of Australia's federal and state governments.
When Ford developed dedicated LPG vehicles, these were found to be cheaper to run than a small four-cylinder sedan. Our federal and state governments bought very limited numbers of these cars, but then ceased to buy them, because they lacked a five-star safety rating. This was because the LPG system was not responsive enough to facilitate stability control.
Ford invested in developing a direct-injection LPG system, then began to market it. Now we have an LPG Ford, that is five-star safety-rated. And how many cars did the federal and state governments buy? Virtually none.
If you go to Europe, it is very evident that governments purchase cars and vans that are built in their own country. But not in Australia!
We can look in our own backyard in Western Australia in the remote Aboriginal communities. Nearly every government worker there is supplied with a Toyota Landcruiser or Nissan Patrol.
Yet their job description is very clear that they only drive on roads, and certainly some of those roads are stony and at times muddy.
But an all-wheel drive Ford Territory Diesel — which is half the cost of a Toyota Landcruiser and uses at least 40 per cent less fuel — would do the job admirably.
How many Ford Territories do we find in the outback with government number-plates on them? None. Somehow, our government purchasing officers think that buying imported cars is a better option.
The demise of Australia's car industry has multiple causes: inefficient work practices promoted by the unions and tolerated by the manufacturers and the government, and the motoring public not buying our cars. We only have ourselves to blame for the demise of this industry.
The question we need to ask ourselves is how little manufacturing can we do in Australia and still retain our standard of living.
The notion of a service-based economy is a fiction. We need to manufacture goods. We need to export from our primary industries.
But it is value-adding by manufacturing that generates sustainable employment. Unless we replace our motor vehicle industry with a strong alternative manufacturing industry that creates significant employment, I fear for the future of our nation's economic well-being.

How To Go To A Tokyo Rock Show
Shibuya clubs Chelsea Hotel and Take Off 7.
You're coming to Tokyo on vacation. During the day you will go to the Imperial Palace, see a piece of traditional Japan in Asakusa, take a trip to Kamakura to visit ancient temples. But at night you want to unwind and have fun. How about catching a rock show?
Posters for events in Shibuya.
On any night, there are dozens of clubs where Japanese rock bands are playing. The best clubs, or 'live houses' as they are called here, are concentrated in the western side of the Yamanote train line, which circles central Tokyo. Shinjuku, Shibuya, Shimokitazawa and Ikebukuro are where the finest live houses are. Each of those areas has its own character, its strong and weak points.
Advantage: Home of the Loft, one of Japan's most famous and oldest rock clubs, Shinjuku live houses feature some of Tokyo's best bands. There are lots of punk shows.
Disadvantage: Most Shinjuku live houses are in Kabukichou, Tokyo's premier red-light district. Expect to dodge touts for various adult entertainment to get to shows. It's like walking through a brothel for some rock 'n' roll. (This might not be a weak point for some readers, to be sure.)
Advantage: There are great shopping and record stores in the area (including the Grand Temple of Japanese music, the seven-floor Tower Records Shibuya).
Disadvantage: The live houses don't have much character.
Advantage: A short train ride away from Shibuya or Shinjuku, Shimokitazawa has its own scene, and many in the audience are themselves likely to be musicians and appreciate good music. The quality of bands playing at clubs like the Que and Shelter are usually high.
Disadvantage: Sometimes the audience is nothing but musicians, making for a boring (and incestuous) crowd.
I hardly ever go to Ikebukuro, further north from these three music centers above, so I don't have anything to say about it.
Street between O-East and O-West in Shibuya's love hotel district.
One thing about most Tokyo rock clubs is they're hard to find. They're in the basements or upper floors of characterless buildings. But don't let that discourage you, because there's an excellent on-line resource called Tokyo Gig Guide, put together by a Tokyo resident named Craig E.
Tokyo Gig Guide gives detailed instructions on how to get to the major live houses, with some photos.
Another extremely useful thing Craig does is put together a calendar of good shows. The gigs he lists are all worth watching.
Or, you can simply head to one of the clubs and take a chance on the bands playing that night.
My experience is that shows at the Que and Shelter in Shimokitazawa, and the Loft and Red Cloth in Shinjuku, usually showcase decent-to-great bands.
Most Tokyo rock shows start at 6:30 or 7 at night. I think this is so that the shows can end by around 10PM, allowing fans living far away to catch the train home. (Trains stop running between midnight and 1AM.)
Except for very popular acts, you usually don't have to buy tickets in advance. Typically, tickets cost about 2,500 yen at the door, or around US$25, and you need to pay another 500 yen or so for the first drink.
If there's more than one band playing, the ticket seller will ask you which band you've come to see. Even if you hadn't come for any specific band, it's a nice thing to do to tell the ticket seller the name of any of the bands written on the program. That's because the clubs divide up part of the revenue from the show based on which bands the ticket buyers say they have come to see. (That is, if 20% say they're Band X fans, then Band X gets 20% of the payout.) So, if one band has a particularly crazy name that you like, or is low on the roster and probably consists of starving musicians, you'd be doing them a favor by telling the ticket guy that's your band, even if you have no idea who they are.
Of course, if there's only one band playing that night, you don't need to tell the ticket seller you've come to see that band. If you do, the ticket seller will nod politely, wearing a serene expression, but will be thinking: "yeah, no duh."
I talk to the ticket sellers in Japanese, but they should be able to understand English, considering they must have graduated from high school and therefore studied English for six years. Ask first if the person speaks English and then talk S-L-O-W-L-Y (as rust may have set in to their English comprehension skills in the years since they last studied the language).
Shows end about 10PM. Band members often come to talk to fans on the floor when the shows are finished. If you liked a band, by all means talk to them, say you loved their music, buy their CDs and so on. Most musicians live for those kinds of encounters.
Christmas is just around the corner...

Similar to our standard Presentation Mode, our Easy Presentation Mode makes it easy to conduct polling with just your browser. PowerPoint is not needed or used. This can be especially useful for situations where your presenters don't send in their presentations ahead of time and thus there's no time to prepare PowerPoint files with embedded poll slides. Easy Presentation Mode can also be used to display "Social Q&A" questions on the big screen.
Overview of Use for Polling
Create your poll questions. When you're ready to conduct audience polling, visit the Easy Presentation Mode web page which will show a list of poll questions. Do this on a computer that is connected to the projector (e.g., the AV guy might perform this via a laptop computer in the back of the room). Click any poll question that's listed. Doing so will immediately unlock that poll so that the audience can respond. The poll results will be displayed. In the bottom-left corner, click the circled-line button to return to the list of poll questions where you can pick your next poll question, as desired. Close the browser window when done.
Detailed Steps
- After creating your poll questions, visit Session Settings, then choose Easy Presentation Mode. NOTE: you would normally do this on a laptop computer that is connected to the projector.
- You'll see a list of poll questions. As soon as you click on a poll question, a new browser window will open and that poll will be unlocked so that the audience can respond. Results will be displayed in your browser window, similar to this:
- If you're done with that poll question, you can close the browser window which will cause that poll question to re-lock. Or, if you're ready to pick the next poll question, click the button in the bottom-left corner that looks like this:
- You'll return to the list of poll questions where you can pick another poll. Please note that your previous poll question will still be opened (available for response). The only way to close that previous poll is to either pick a new poll or close the browser window.
Additional Options include:
- By default, poll results will be shown on a light (white) background. You can switch to the Dark Theme at any time.
- Normally, your web browser's address bar and menu options will remain visible while using Presentation Mode. Click on Enter Full Screen Mode to hide those parts of the browser. You can exit full screen mode by either pressing the Esc key or by choosing 'Exit Full Screen Mode' from the menu button (bottom left corner).
- When you click on the bottom-left button after having selected a poll, you're viewing the "overlay" which lists all of the available poll questions plus the options noted above. Clicking on 'Close Overlay' will return you to your poll results.

Great food and service!
Excellent food, service. Will always recommend this to my friends and family
Service was great. Food was delicious. And oh my that chocolate mousse cake was amazing
The service was amazing. The staff was super friendly & always moving around to offer food. Would go back more often if it wasn't so expensive
Nice place to eat but even though our cards were turned to green, they stopped bringing the meat and we had to ask for certain meats before it was brought to our table. The come to a table close to us and skip to a different table.
The food was amazing and the serves was spot on. Would recommend to friends and family highly
Everything was spotless clean service was great and the food is top notch And the Salad bar has everything you could ever want in the salad bar
Not too fancy not too under dress great for a date or family outing. So many items to choose from.
Everything was amazing, and the lunch weekend deal with drinks and desserts is by far the best way to go.
Just ok food. No ribs that day.
Your waiter should mention the difference between free and paid soda for the weekend lunch.
Brasa Brazilian Steakhouse is better.
Texas de Brazil has become my favorite place to dine from day 1 and I will always consider this place for all my special occasions.
It was a lot of good different meats and the salad bar was good as well. Service was very good as well and Veronica was good. It seemed alittle over priced for me was a good experience overall
Everything excellent
Very good food
Excellent service
The best Texas de Brazil ! The food is always great here!
Great place to spend time with family and friends. Great food, plentiful, and the Gauchos kept on coming. Carla was the best and Jose did a great job (minus my ice tea). Will say although the experience was great and well as the service and food, it is just a little pricey.
Fantastic service! Food was great!
Worth the price!
Our party was wholly disappointed with 'Texas'. While the place was nice looking, things went from bad to worse as the evening progressed. Our waiter was rude defending his mistakes instead of correcting them and the food was both expensive and sub-par. The only bright light was the salad bar. Won't be returning.
Morgan was attentive and provided great service with a smile. Food tasty and meats seasoned quite well. Salad bar consisted of a fresh variety of foods. Great experience from beginning to end.
Food & service was excellent. I have eaten here before and will continue to dine here.
Great food for a reasonable price (not cheap). Nice staff, very professional and attentive.
While it is an expensive dinner it makes for a very special experience. There's no food waste at this place. You take only what you can eat. It's a fantastic place for special celebrations. Only well behaved children around. The distance between the tables allows for privacy. The waiters are super nice and pleasant. The food was outstanding in every way.
Only slight recommendation for improvement, for those of us who are visual - it would have been nice if each meat stick had the name of the meat on it so we could read it instead of asking the waiter three times what he said.
Excellent server. Excellent food. A wonderful evening!!!
We were seated in the middle of the room and it was uncomfortable.
The food was amazing like always!! Very clean! Very nice waiters!! Alway love going there!
Classy joint, staff top notch. Salad bar to die for!
Our waitress was very attentive, I commend her excellent service!
The meat servers were very slow.
Extremely loud, the restaurant should allow for a quiet area.
Let me start by saying the food is amazing. The smoked salmon is one of my favs along with the lamb chop.. steak cooked to perfection... Now this is a place you MUST COME HUNGRY AND READY TO EAT A LOT... if you have a quick fill stomach. not the place for you.. the price of food requires multiple plates for the "bang for your buck" effect.. I'd honestly argue children shouldn't be taken just because the price per person verses what a child eats... but if you got it like that then never mind me... now.. I don't know about other locations... but I wish the restaurant had a section for families vs a section for couples only because if you are trying to have a nice date night/intimate setting this place isn't it. People do come with their children ( I have a child, I don't bring her) and that's great have a family outing, but I feel there should also be a side for adult only seating just so you can have a night a away from children... overall I am still going to eat here cause the food is yummy, but maybe not a place for when I want a quiet evening with my man. <3
Good food & meats. Meat Servers very attentive. Initial server who came to take drinks, was difficult to hear/understand. Needed to speak up more. Also, could not get his attention several times. The noise level is very high--all surfaces in the room are solid so it bounces around and is magnified. Hard to hear waiters and have a conversation. But overall, a good time.
Meat servers had to be chased. They seem to always go to a particular group of people first before coming to ours. Certain meats never made it to our table unfortunately.
This is (was) our favorite restaurant. We consider ourselves regulars. This time around our experience was lackluster. We had reservations for 12noon and despite that, we had to wait around 15 minutes to be acknowledged because the hostess stand seemed chaotic and not organized. We were observing no communication between the five people at the hostess area--two of whom were managers. There was no logic to how they sat patrons except maybe seating the bigger parties first.
If this is how they want to seat customers then why bother with reservations?
It was great!!!
Nice restaurant but we were in a crowded section with not a lot of room around the tables. Seemed to make it harder for servers and wait staff to get to the table. Was also inconvenient to get to and from for the salad bar or restroom. Wasn't a terrible experience just unlike the other Texas de Brazil we have dined at before.
First time, it was a good experience.
We have been to Texas de Brazil many times, and this was unfortunately one of the worst service experiences we had there. It was very busy, so we understood it may be different than normal, however when gaucho after gaucho entered the room we were in, and went to 1 or 2 tables in the area and then left, bypassing our table and adjacent tables repeatedly throughout the night, it was a very frustrating dining experience. Unfortunately , if we had a decent waitress, it could have been remedied, but that was not the case. We informed her , and she did nothing to change the situation. Finally my husband sought out a manager, but there wasn't one to be found on the floor. We eventually managed to flag some gauchos down by waving our arms to get their attention, but it made the meal unpleasant and way longer than it should have been
Valentines Day
The food is always cooked to perfection. They go out of their way to make sure everything is to your satisfaction and if you have special notes in your reservation they go out of their way to make sure you enjoy every moment. May seem a bit pricey but definitely worth every single penny.
Everything was simply EXCELLENCE. Only thing might be the overall price, but it was wonderful.
We were having an early Valentine's Day dinner we had good food but the server was bad we go every year for our anniversary but this time we had bad experience. We will return again but be cautious about our server.
$50 is too much for a buffet. Need to add more other dishes to accommodate the children. Need more soup, salad varieties, bread and less wine. Services on the meat was slow and kind ignore u and kept ongoing. It was not what we expected. Ty

I ordered my wedding dress on July 16th & it arrived last night. The dress is perfect!!
I can walk out of a store with a size 4 pair of jeans, but in formal dresses, I wear a 10, so I ordered a 10. I got a 10. If you need custom sizing, GET MEASURED BY A PROFESSIONAL! There are drop-down boxes next to the items to input your custom measurements.
The dress I received is high quality. It's lined & has built in cups for support. It has many tiers & gathers - and there's not a single thread out of place. I have to say that after reading some negative reviews, I am quite pleasantly surprised.
Okay, I am honestly ecstatic!! Everything else could go wrong with my wedding and I wouldn't care because this dress is so right!! As far as time is concerned, they hand make dresses. They don't grab them off of racks and throw them into boxes.
It takes time to sew. Mine took a whole 10 days including shipping.
So that's my story with JJ's House. And yes, I would order from them again without hesitation.
Product or Service Mentioned: Jjshouse Dress.
Store Location: Fort Myers, Florida
I find it very suspect when anyone comes to a site called Pissed Consumer to write a positive review lol
I was familiar with the site because I did research before ordering from them. And the site does also welcome positive feedback for retailers.
Additionally, I posted previously that my mom's dress didn't turn out so well because it was made of two different materials that absorbed the dye differently.
It's still a well made dress & it's beautiful, it's just 2-toned and she wanted a solid color. I'm just keepin' it real.
I'm getting ready to order a dress from JJs for my son's wedding. Did you pay an additional "customs fee" when your gown arrived? By the way, congratulations on your wedding, appreciate any info on JJs.
No, I wasn't charged any additional fees. My mom ordered a dress from them as well - just a word of caution: different materials absorb dye differently.
The dress she ordered was made of two different materials and was two-toned when she got it. Mine was two different materials, but white is white, so I didn't have issues. For what it's worth, although her dress was two-toned, it was still gorgeous, phenomenal quality and a perfect fit. The variation in color was noticeable, but it didn't look bad because it was all dyed in the same color.
You may, however, consider choosing a dress made from the same material throughout.
And yes, I've ordered from them since and will again. I obviously don't speak for everyone, but I've yet to be disappointed by them.
How do you contact them if you try to put your measurements and its not working?
I contacted them directly from the site: http://www.jjshouse.com/about/email.php?type=pre_sales
You can address issues regarding a current order also through the online form.
The address their emails came to me from is firstname.lastname@example.com. But I don't know if you'll get anyone with that, it seems to be for automated emails. ,)

Are You At Risk, Then? Since anyone can get acute
from a cold that they have, it is not difficult to imagine that virtually everyone is at risk for developing this condition. Yet, there are some additional reasons why this condition can effect you more often or even just more severely than it will effect other people.
In chronic
, there is inflammation of the mucosal membranes of the bronchial tubes due to infection, a condition that leads to an excess in the production of mucus. This extra mucus disrupts the normal breathing processes by blocking the air passages and preventing the entry of sufficient quantity of air into the lungs.
If you are someone that smokes, your chances of getting chronic
are often much more severe than those that are likely to get acute
If the person has been suffering from the condition for more than ten days, there is no danger of the condition being contagious; this is the aftermath of
Healthy people only need to take care to prevent getting infected. Beware of infectious particles when a person suffering from
bronchitis coughs
; you could then catch the infection.
Causes Of Chronic
The causes of chronic
are often a bit more drastic. If you have this condition, the walls of your bronchial tubes have become thickened and they are inflamed to such a degree that it is considered nearly permanent. When this happens, chronic
is evident.
The Natural Treatment: If the person is a smoker the most important thing is to stop smoking (read the nicotine addiction guide). Eat alkaline foods. Fruit juices of all kinds, especially pineapple, lemon, orange, and grape fruit are best, as they help to loosen and cut the phlegm.
The good news is that you can do just that.
doesn't have to be a condition that you can't shake. Before you can actually deal with
, you need to know what it is and how it affects your body. Having an education in this information puts you at the forefront of spotting symptoms and taking action before you become ill further or even lessening the effect that
can have on your daily life.
Causes of
Smoking is not the only major cause of chronic
although the ailment is commonly seen among regular smokers. Smoking in itself does not cause the disease; but it facilitates the multiplication of bacteria and thereby slows the healing process in the respiratory tissues. Continuous exposure to pollutants such as hazardous chemicals, smoke, or dust is responsible for chronic
Chronic bronchitis
is very common in smokers and people with weak immune system. Inappropriate diet, lack of sleep, stress and exposure to chemicals and pollutants all contribute to the development of chronic
. Smoking facilitates the development of chronic
by sustaining the proliferation of bacteria and by slowing the normal process of healing. Smoking can cause serious, permanent damage to the respiratory system.
Certain people should seek the help of their doctor sooner. If you have chronic health problems such as chronic lung problems, congestive heart failure, emphysema, or asthma, then you need to see your doctor as soon as you feel an episode of
coming on.

has not gone away within six weeks. Those that face chronic
can develop additional conditions like asthma when their air passageways remain inflamed.
People with chronic
need long-term medical treatment in order to completely overcome the illness. Antibiotics are the most common form of medicines prescribed in the treatment for chronic
and despite their efficiency in fighting malign bacteria responsible for causing chronic
, they also destroy internal benign bacteria that are part of the immune system. Such medical treatments with antibiotics can weaken the organism in time, making it more vulnerable to other infections.
Chronic bronchitis
medical treatments also include medicines for decongesting the airways clogged with mucus. Bronchodilators such as albuterol and ipratropium are inhaled medicines that eliminate excess mucus that causes obstruction of the respiratory tract and difficulty breathing. Chronic
treatments can also include steroids in order to strengthen the body defenses against bacteria and viruses.
Symptoms To Look For: The main sign of this condition is that of a yellow/gray or even green colored mucus that comes up when you are coughing. This mucus is called sputum. The mucus should be a sign to you that something is wrong, especially with this type of coloring.
Since viruses complete their life cycle in a few days,

happens in your lungs. In fact, it is a condition that affects the inner walls in your air passage ways of your lungs. There,
causes the lining to become infected and inflamed, causing you the symptoms of fevers, chills, coughing and a pain in your chest.
Some forms of stomach trouble may be a cause of bronchitis and even pneumonia. This is particularly true of those persons who bring up acid and other stomach contents into the mouth while asleep, and then aspirate it into their lungs.
Difficulties of Treating Chronic Bronchitis Medical science has still not found appropriate medicines to cure this condition. It focuses on relieving the symptoms of this condition in order to prevent it from proceeding to more complicated stages. The disease can last for three months a year for two consecutive years, and there can always be a relapse.
Some people don't have a large accumulation of the product in their throats and therefore do not cough it up. For this reason, you should realize that you can have bronchitis without having any mucus.

is a persistent respiratory illness and it also has a recidivating character. The symptoms of chronic bronchitis are usually not intense, but they reoccur on a regular time basis. While acute bronchitis usually clears on itself within a few days, chronic
can last for months. Chronic
is an infectious disease and needs ongoing medical treatment with antibiotics. If the medical treatment is prematurely interrupted, the illness reoccurs and can lead to complications.
"Side Effects" It's a good remedy for many health problems. It could almost be called a "cure-all." It's good for colds, influenza, asthma, coughs. It soothes nerves, help liver and kidneys, and helps most all stomach problems.

Bronchitis causes inflammation and sometimes viral or bacterial infection of the mucous membrane, bronchial tubes and other organs and tissues involved in the process of breathing. The respiratory system has many natural defenses (nostril hairs, cilia, mucus) against external irritants (airborne viruses, dust particles, chemicals, pollen). However, constant exposure to these external agents can sometimes enable airborne viruses to penetrate the natural barriers of the respiratory tract, causing inflammation and infection. When external irritants reach inside the lungs, there is a high risk of complication (pneumonia). When the bronchial tubes become inflamed and irritated, they produce a surplus of mucus which clogs the airways and prevents the normal airflow.
When acute
is neglected or wrongly treated, it often progresses to
chronic bronchitis
or some other pulmonary disorder. On the other hand, infection of the lungs is responsible for acute

acute bronchitis
is bacterial while ninety percent is viral. When a person is continuously affected by acute bronchitis, his or her bronchial tubes are weakened, and this paves the way for chronic

When you're searching for a life partner, the first meeting can be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. It doesn't matter if you've met through a mutual friend or a matchmaker. The first date is a significant step—but you might not always walk away hearing wedding or alarm bells. Sometimes, you might not be certain if you want to give it a second shot. Here are a few signs you should.
4 Reasons to Say Yes to a Second Date
1. You Had Chemistry
Did you feel the proverbial butterflies in your stomach? If so, it may be a sign of attraction and chemistry. Matchmakers say other signs are significant eye contact, lingering touches, or genuinely smiling when you look at the other person. You can't force chemistry; it's there, or it isn't, and if it is, it's a good sign you should say yes to a second date.
2. You Feel Happy
If you found yourself smiling, laughing, and generally enjoying yourself, you should say yes to a second date. Dating isn't always fun, but with the right person, you'll have a good time whatever you're doing.
3. They're Respectful
Someone may be charming, funny, successful, or all of the above, but if they aren't respectful, they aren't worth your time. The first indicator of respect is showing up on time. If they are late, they should apologize and, ideally, let you know they are running late ahead of time. They should also listen when you talk without interrupting and not dismiss or belittle things you say. Furthermore, pay attention to how they treat other people, such as the waitstaff or bartender.
4. You're Not Sure How You Feel
If you're confident it isn't going to work out, you should politely decline a second date. Uncertainty, on the other hand, isn't always a bad thing. First dates can be nerve-wracking, and you, your date, or both of you may not be completely yourselves at first. Situations may be awkward, and it could be difficult to get to know one another in an hour or two. This is all the more reason to give it another chance.
Whether you need help landing your first date in a while or want to fit meaningful dates into your busy schedule, turn to LUXE Matchmaking Dating Service. As one of the nation's most trusted matchmakers for professional singles, they serve elite professionals and executives nationwide through their exclusive online platform. Call (844) 822-5862 to speak with one of their friendly team members about how their matchmakers can help you find your match. Or, visit the website to learn more about their matchmaking services or become a member.

An award-winning pastor and the congregation he leads at the Flora-Bama lounge have left the United Methodist denomination, he confirmed Wednesday.
The Rev. Jeremy Mount, who received the Harry Denman Evangelism Award in June at the United Methodists' annual meeting in Mobile, turned in his credentials in mid-December, he said. He is the third well-known pastor to leave the Alabama-West Florida Conference in 2013.
"We've always loved the local churches we've been a part of," said Mount, who was discipleship pastor at Perdido Bay UMC and led Worship on the Water as a ministry of the church. "We have had a harder time dealing with the larger structure of the denomination."

Although buying a condo is similar to buying a home, there are differences. Your VA condo insurance should be tailored to fit your needs. Here's the ways that condo insurance differs from homeowners so that you understand the need for a policy that protects your needs.
With a condo, you are generally only responsible for the interior of your place. Your HOA covers the common areas and land, and all of your neighbors contribute to that insurance, which makes sense. A homeowner, on the other hand, is responsible for the entire property. Condo insurance should appropriately reflect the risk to you as a property owner.
The coverage for rebuilding your condo is different from a house. If the interior of your condo is damaged, you would be responsible to rebuild. If the outside walls are damaged, your HOA would have the insurance to rebuild it. In some cases, the HOA also covers certain items within your interior. You do not need a policy that provides duplicate coverage. A homeowners policy needs to cover the interior and exterior of the home.
One of the ways that homeowners and VA condo insurance are similar is in the personal property coverage. The contents of your home or condo need to be fully covered against potential damages. Talk to your insurance agent to make sure you have the right insurance policy that protects you.

To say that I was a little out of my comfort zone would be more than an alternative fact. I was so far out of my comfort zone that I might as well have set my watch back a day or two. But everybody kept telling me "Just have fun!" and "It's for a good cause!" so I took another breath, swallowed my discomfort, and kept on dancing.
Dancing With The Stars is a bi-annual event that supports The Horizon in Kent and Queen Anne's Counties. For six weeks every summer, kids strengthen their academic skills, develop self-confidence, get some swimming instruction, and learn to become better citizens. With goals like those, a little personal discomfort seemed worth the risk.
The "stars" of the program are just plain-old folks like me with little or no dancing prowess. Fortunately for us, we are partnered with good dancers who know what they're doing, but—as in my case—not necessarily what they're getting themselves into. I was lucky enough to have Jennifer Tosten as my partner; she runs Jennifer's School of Dance on High Street, although she may be thinking twice about that career now. Let's just say, she had a lot of heavy lifting to do!
I have a fair number of Scottish genes, so I thought it might be fun to indulge my DNA with a little Highland flinging. We picked a tune—Wake Me Up—which was originally a George Michael (Wham!) hit, but our version was a cover of that song performed by The Red Hot Chili Pipers and no, that is not a typo. I thought it might go well with my kilt. When I told my wife about our number, she had one question: "You are going to wear underwear this time…aren't you?"
Jennifer and I began rehearsing just after Christmas, five weeks before the event took place (on February 4) at The Kent County Community Center in Worton. Ten couples squared off for the coveted trophy—a giant disco ball. A whole host of volunteers worked long hours to transform The Community Center into the legendary Moulin Rouge, Paris' most renowned cabaret where the can-can first lifted its petticoats and kicked up its heels way back in 1840. What our Scottish number had to do with the Moulin Rouge, I have no idea; I guess I hoped no one would notice or care.
Jen and I had an extra little surprise up on sleeve—or maybe in our sporran. I am a bagpiper so we figured to add a little spice to our routine with a soulful rendition of Amazing Grace before we began reeling and flinging. (We figured at the very least that would wake folks up!) That seemed like a good idea at the time but as the day drew closer, it just added another grace note of anxiety to my performance—as if I needed any more surrounding my dancing debut.
The weeks leading up to the big night flew by. When my body wasn't spinning, my head was with choreography, step counts, and trying to remember which component came after the one before. I desperately tried to get to a place where I didn't have to think, a place where my feet, arms, and hands did what I wanted them to do without counting and thinking. I almost made it.
I'll spare you all the gory details. Let's just say that we did have fun and that it was for a good cause. Last I heard, we (all the dancing couples) raised more than $53,000 for the Horizon Center, a new record! As for me, I admit I was happy when it was all over and I bet Jennifer was as well. And, with regard to the question that's on everyone's mind, let's just say there were no surprises and everything is still in fine working condition, thank you very much!

I am using Arch Linux ARM (http://archlinuxarm.org/) on one of my embedded systems and pretty happy with it (actually Arch Linux ARM one of the most popular ARM distribution), and it also can install packages from AUR, exactly like "official" Arch Linux. I do not see anything wrong by adding arm to the list of supported architectures, if package can be build on ARM and works on it (mosh actually works without any issues). I maintain couple of packages in AUR with arm architecture added and I do not see any side effect of this - for major people who do not use ARM it won't change anything, but for couple of ARM users you will make life a bit easier. It's up to you, anyway - this is just my two cents.

Creative Consequences for Teenagers
Consequences should be disciplinary and not punitive -- in other words, it's more effective to give your teenager a consequence for inappropriate behavior that teaches her how to display the desired behavior than it is to simply punish her. Colleen Gengler, an educator in family relations at the University of Minnesota Extension, explains that "discipline means to 'teach,'" and positive discipline helps teens learn to effectively solve problems and manage conflicts. Creative consequences can help parents present their teens with fundamental life lessons while helping teens recall what they learned from these disciplinary actions 1.
Community Service
While community service is often a voluntary effort, parents can involve kids in community-service work as a consequence for disrespectful behavior toward others or property. Community service teaches children to think of others by offering helpfulness and showing compassion. Community service is also used as a punitive consequence by law-enforcement agencies, so this will teach your child what to expect if he ever engages in criminal activity.
Essay Writing
If your child chooses to disobey curfew or "borrows" your car without permission, you could instruct her to write an essay on expected behavior in the home. This consequence is an exercise that allows your child to reflect on why her behavior was inappropriate, and to consider some of the natural consequences that could have resulted from noncompliance with house rules, such as getting into a car accident. Encouraging your child to write down these ideas can teach her to make better choices in the future.
Removal of Privileges
In some cases, privacy is more of a privilege than a right. Some teens share bedrooms with other siblings, giving them a small amount of privacy within these arrangements, while others are privileged to more privacy as sole occupants of their rooms. In an article posted on the "TODAY Moms" section of NBC's "Today" show website, one mother recalls when her parents took her bedroom door off of the hinges because she slammed the door in their faces to express her anger. Such an act can remind your teen that she will have to use respectful words to express her frustration, especially if she has no door to slam.
Practice Makes Perfect
Children sometimes attempt to get out of doing tasks by partially completing them. Parents can teach their children to complete tasks effectively and in their entirety by instructing them to practice washing dishes or vacuuming their rooms, for instance, as often as possible. If your child is generally required to wash dishes once a day and has been doing a mediocre job just to spite you, offer him the opportunity to practice washing dishes appropriately twice a day for the duration of one or two weeks until he gets it right.

One of the most popular weight loss diets in recent years is the Cabbage Soup Diet. This is a weight loss diet that can be effective because you are led to eat small amount of solid food, thus consuming small amounts of calories.
Soup also makes you fuller easily,thus making you feel satisfied. Cabbages are also rich in fiber, making you feel full even after taking just a bowl of the soup. Many Cabbage Soup Diet recipes are also very salty, leading you to drink lots of water.
Cabbage Soup Diet Weight Loss Results
The Cabbage Soup Diet is intended for a full week of weight loss dieting. You will be placed in a strict diet consisting of soup and a very limited amount of food choices.
Many claims that the result of dieting using the Cabbage Soup Diet can help people lose up to 10 pounds in a week. But many health experts are not impressed for they think that most of the body weight lost in the process are just "liquid weight", where only water are lost in the weight loss process and it can be easily gained once the diet is over.
How to make Cabbage Soup?
Here is a sample of an easy to cook Cabbage Soup recipe for those who want to try out this soup diet and lose weight fast.
Sample Cabbage Soup Recipe for Weight Loss

Required Discussion Forum Question:
Using the artwork you posted last week in the discussion forum, ask a friend or family member to help you practice leading an inquiry-based conversation around it, and talk about it in the forum: Describe your experience. What was easy? What did you find challenging?
This week…
… Felt really challenging it was very strange to take forth an activity from this MOOC with a friend and really see what worked – and why – or why not…
This post is about IBL: discussing a photograph with a friend in a way that models future practice. I have also summarised some 'activities as inquiry' from Hubard and some excellent suggestions for practice taken from the Forum. Many of those are from primary age tutors – but still relevant for my University staff and students – especially I think the 'jump up and wriggle time'!! Absolutely…
Working class hero – discussion of Billingsgate Fish Market
Last week I chose Bill Brandt's (c1938) 'Billingsgate Fish Market' as my artwork. It is a B&W photograph of a scene at the Fish Market – with three men in the background about their business and one man in the foreground gazing at the camera – or though the camera at us the onlookers.
Discussing Billingsgate with my friend
I asked my friend to look at the photograph and to take the time to respond to my questions – as himself, not imagining himself to be a student or anything, just he himself… though obviously one thing he knows about me is that I do teach and I did say that I was asking him questions that I might ask a group of students at some point.
I sat my friend down in front of my laptop to look at the photograph – and asked him to say what he literally saw in the picture … and to make any observations that he wanted… I then waited and waited.
After quite some time had passed – with me wondering all the while whether I had made the supplementary statement too soon – he said, 'Okay.' Another silence... I then asked for his response:
He: Possibly Billingsgate Fish Market – one man in a white coat – a porter because a basket on his head; one man with boxes on his head – a punter - customer – though unusual because you don't normally see them carrying … One man with paper in his hand – a tally? The Tally man… Is this a hierarchy? One man is looking at the camera – is this a staged picture? There's a big fish in the basket which is unusual as we don't eat big fish nowadays… is it a shark? There's JE on a box - jellied eels? It's a cramped busy place. There's a chopping block – is that fish or meat – it's a big part of the picture… But they don't do that kind of thing in a fish market… I don't like it! I don't know why. Too ambiguous? What's it for? Don't know what's going on… Wouldn't have looked twice at it – it doesn't give me enough…
Me: My next question would have been, What attracts you to or repels you in the picture … It seems like it repels you? And it's not the subject matter?
He: Yes. It's the composition – it's cramped – I can't see the point of it… I can see it's night time – and all the different packaging – laughs – could use it with Logistics students…
Me: I might have asked students whether that was documentary or art or whether that mattered?
He: (No real response – kept looking at the picture.)
Me: When do you think that picture was taken?
He: That's why it's so frustrating that it's such a cramped picture. There are wheels there – it could be 1910, 1920? If I could see the wheels… if I could get a better look…
Me: Perhaps the cramped nature of the picture is part of the point?
He (more looking – positive noises)
Me: It was taken circa 1938… Though the clothes could be anywhere up to 1960s?
He: Yes - looking at it – it's not the cliché jolly cockney pictures … Good…
He (more looking – positive noises)
Me: You noticed one person looking out – at us… I just did another course – Dorothea Lange took documentary pictures in the
– had one, 'Angel of the Breadline'? With just that – one person looking –
inviting us to comment - to be a chorus perhaps… On that hierarchy you were
noticing? US
He: – it's … class… Not the jolly chatty cockneys – you don't see working men like that - in that picture – closed – working… Not laughing and joking… It's good – a good thing…
He: I'm glad I looked now, yes…
We then discussed his quite strong reaction against the picture. We also discussed that he only felt able to share his initial negative reaction to the picture because of our trust relationship. He thought that saying he did not like the picture would have pulled forth a lecture on why he should like it – and what makes it good. And even though we have trust, he was surprised that he did not get that lecture but was 'allowed' to continue to explore the picture and his reaction to it – until he came at last to his final (in this encounter) reaction. He did have a positive reaction – but not because he felt he had to be positive – or that he had to pretend to be positive… He realized that once he overcame his own resistance (and the feeling that it was all a trick – that he was about to be talked down to and condescended…) he actually did respect and like the picture – for his own reasons.
This brief encounter of no more than twenty minutes at most was a revelation. Naively, I did not think that the mere showing of a photograph would evoke so much emotional and cultural baggage – nor such negative educational or academic baggage.
In this episode, I can see all the weight of a content-based, hierarchical, elitist and measurement-obsessed system. In this brief encounter there was resistance, confusion, frustration, irritation, anger, self-doubt, a tendency not to trust the 'teacher' or the teaching scenario; a belief that your own thoughts and feelings will be deemed inappropriate, bad, irrelevant… just plain WRONG. I can see the expectation that students are expected to swallow their pride and lose all of themselves – do as they are told – think what they are told to think…
That this one small and quite beautiful picture evoked such a strong response in a grown up ... What on earth are we doing to our young?
I am lucky that there was trust in this friendship, otherwise I would never have been allowed to see all this. Now how to remember it – not just in this MOOC and in my final project – but in all my teaching!
Activities an inquiry and learnig: Notes on the
– suggestions for practice: Reading
Olga Hubard, Activities in the Art Museum, NAEA Advisory Fall 2006. © 2006. Used with permission of the National Art Education Association
Activities that frame encounters with artworks:
- Introduce key concepts e.g. modelling a partner to test out resistance in material – which will bring fresh insight to sculpture
- Hook people in with a riddle
- Record encounters with artworks tip: make the sketchbook first (see www.accessart.org.uk )
- Reflect by drawing most powerful moment on a postcard
Activities that deepen and enrich encounters:
- Foster close observation: use a viewfinder; bend a piece of wire; describe to another; tear off paper and produce mini-collage
- Access an immediate response: say the first word or draw the gesture that come to mind
- Elicit an embodied response: become the artwork; write a letter *from * the landscape
- Access the emotional tone: write a poem or prose piece in response to; create a soundtrack for…
Activities that connect the artwork to other realms of learning, creation, experience:
- From artwork to own world – e.g. discussing cultural icons – ask students to offer suggestions and descriptions of icons of their own – and to follow up in social studies
- Developing non-art 'skills' – generate nouns/adjectives from an artwork and use in sentences (!)
- Inspiring artistic creation – expressing an artwork through the medium of dance – seeding own work…
- Guiding the honing of specific art skills – drawing sculptures to improve draftsmanship.
Useful teaching notes from a Forum Discussion Thread
I have my students keep a 'cuaderno personal', ( a composition book) that they write reflections in on a regular basis and are provided feedback in. Maybe at the closing of class discussion, you could have them reflect/expand on the discussion in their book (or in a class wiki), then you as the teacher can read the entries and give them feedback, or have them peer review it, getting feed back from a classmate. It does take a lot of time to read all of them and to provide feedback, but watching them read the comments when they pick up their notebooks will give you goosebumps. Just a few words on the reader's part makes them re-digest the discussion. Hope this helps.
In my experience, allowing the free flow of conversation (as adults would handle it when talking about a piece) comes with practice. When I teach my students how to do Socratic seminar, there are some weeks of hand-holding and oodles of modeling on my part. We have a facilitator for each seminar, and for the first couple of weeks, it's me! This way, the students, who will all get a chance at being facilitator can see a model of how to redirect a conversation that might be going off of the deep end. It's rough at first, but with each new piece, there's more ownership on the part of the students and a better understanding of how to practice being reflective when thinking about a piece.
I tend to use a lot of literary works and poems, so I have the kids do annotations (a lesson during Orientation week) and come up with critical thinking questions (another lesson). We also review expectations for seminar each time we engage in it (which is weekly) and I'd be more than willing to share these. It's a poster I simply made in PowerPoint that hangs up in my classroom. The students are also aware that they're being assessed throughout the process from annotations to participation, from grace and courtesy to eye contact. If you practice it enough, it becomes second nature!

The 2 minute silence and focus becomes a "group effort". It encourages students to work together...to be aware of movement and sound around them (a non-interactive group activity). This prepares them for "circle" (an interactive group activity) where they each get a few moments to share their awesome thoughts and ideas....it's always a wonderful experience (as a teacher) to hear what ideas and thoughts they have. Sometimes, they are PROFOUND!
This technique has been used with kids from ages preschool thru high school. The initial focus was ACTUALLY more about finding time management solutions which led to patience, self & group awareness, then, focus on art. I kept finding that I (the teacher) was "commanding and directing" the use of time in the classroom (which goes against my teaching methods/beliefs) when ultimately, students must understand (at some point in their lives) how to utilize "time" efficiently on their own (it's the real world, right?). And much of their time management is structured/controlled/directed by parents... waking them up, getting them dressed, driving them to school, etc. etc. There isn't a lot of autonomy…I found myself using SO much of my own energy dictating time and completing state guidelined activities rather than encouraging the learning process and one day, I just thought, "WHY am I doing this? THEY are perfectly capable of accomplishing this...if they can take responsibility for time management, I can focus more on the curriculum and teaching pieces... When the students became responsible for their own time and tasks, things took a dramatic change in the classroom. I would place an easel in front of the class and list the 4 stations they needed to work through. Students each had a journal page with those 4 tasks (for example) and when they moved through each station, it would be checked off (yes, even for preschoolers). I had my own personal station that would be more in depth than the others. Preschoolers were introduced to time as well and instructed that they had until the big hand landed on the 5 (25) to get everything completed (for example). SO, it sounds absolutely crazy, doesn't it? Well, it was...a complete mess in the beginning...but then, something remarkable happened (it took about 3 weeks before things started to catch on)....kids would notice the clock (with excitement and giggles to get everything done) and watch the hand move, which began the process of understanding "time", they would nudge their other classmates as the big hand moved...and at times, if I looked around and saw unmarked charts, I might "suggest" that they look at the clock as well...with time, these kids became very responsible for their time and tasks for the day. It was quite remarkable, actually (this spilled over into other classes and their home life as well). Even for the preschoolers! When "Looking Time" was integrated, toddlers through 5th grade were limited to 2 minutes (5 minutes for the older kids)....and we'd take turns talking...much like our instructor does with her museum visitors. My only rule was that we allow everyone the opportunity to speak without interruption (because there are some VERY important things being said, everyone deserves the opportunity to share their ideas and if everyone is talking, we won't be able to hear them! :) I've never had to limit the time because the kids already know the first 15 min are for circle and looking time (free time at the end...if not enough time, no free time)...they're watching the clock (not me)...lol! I don't know if this would work for others, I can only tell you that it worked for me and I've used the same concept for light years. By making students responsible for their own time, you free up more time for you the teacher) to engage in other areas (taking those extra minutes to re-explain a concept to a student or coming up with a new side activity for the next day, etc. etc.) I should also note that another teacher in the same building adopted a similar approach and it worked beautifully in his room as well. :) So, maybe give it a go and see what happens! I would love to hear the responses! Good luck to all!
It is difficult to have a quiet, controlled classroom discussion when children are excited and motivated to share their responses to an artwork. We want the excitement, but when the voices cancel one another out, the students' production of new thinking around a complex idea a can dissolve in the distraction. One strategy from the theater department has been for the teacher to clap her/his hands in a rhythmic pattern, and have the students clap back. This always stops the action. It is friendly and collaborative, and gives the class enough time to catch their collective breath. Before any rambunctious discussion, let the class know about this technique. . And speaking of ideas, a class motto that reads "All ideas are good ideas" will establish a tone of acceptance.
I've used this technique as well and it is effective. Another attention grabber is turning off the lights (kids know if I turn the lights off, to freeze). Sometimes I'll do a quick "wiggle, giggle, jump up and down" session but it really is based on the dynamics of the group. What works for one class, might not work for others. Positive rewards are VERY helpful as well (stickers, stickers and more stickers). :)
One strategy that worked well with my kindergarten class was drawing names. Each student had their name on a popsicle stick and it was in this shiny can that I decorated. I used this when my class was not responding to my questions. I would shake the can and the students actually would get really excited and want their name to be drawn. This technique worked wonders and I heard many interesting responses.
One strategy that I use when teaching children in the gallery, that may work in the classroom, is to ask the children to spend one minute looking at the painting. I tell them that they will then turn around so they can't see the painting and I will ask each one of them in turn to share something that they remember about it. I have never had the same observation twice within one group. It works well near the beginning of a session as each student gets to stay something and be heard and I get to praise everyone of them individually. It's not only useful for including the quiet children - who incidentally I have found make the most profound observations, so its great to have their input - but its a great method for engaging even the most disruptive child. When we turn back around to look at the painting in more depth, I have them all hooked and eager.
In the art classroom compared to the art museum, there are some differences of relationship to the teacher. Some of my students have been coming to my studio for more than three years. We are all very comfortable with each other, a learning family. I like to get student impressions after looking at art, after making art.
If you throw the question making and asking to the students and they direct the questions to you, or to each other students, this can produce surprising results. The questions they come up with might be anything from sociological to technical, they are often delicious, funny, totally irrelevant, or not, and often insightful.

As the teacher, most of the time I do not like to be the one breathing out the learning oxygen, being the main voice in the room will just make me the dominant personality (not what I want to be) followed by a hierarchy of dominant personalities. I want my quiet achievers to have a voice but that might take a different form than through dialogue.
Mixed ability classes: Your comment reminded me of a class I took through Coursera-MIT Global Poverty (my favorite class offered through MOOCs) this past winter/spring. The scenario you described above made me think of a study that Dr. Esther Duflo & Dr. Banerjee conducted in
I was able to find the study (free-at least for now, so click on and save) for
you. Even though this research was completed in India , they faced a very similar
situation (further explained in the abstract portion of the paper) and I think
this analysis could provide you with some ideas and strategies. http://www.povertyactionlab.org/publication/remedying-education-evidence-two-randomized-experiments-india India
On another side note, I would also consider researching Montessori concepts and teaching methods.....this teaching methodology encourages multiple age integration and students helping other students........http://www.montessori.edu/maria.html
Other MOOCs to consider: I highly recommend that everyone taking this course, sign up for "Art Historical Methodologies ARTH301" through
(free and virtually all OCW/reading-not much interactive discussion there-so,
it would be nice to have some fellow classmates from here to discuss that class
with as well) saylor.org.
It examines the differences between Art History, Art Criticism, Art Aesthetics
and the different philosophical approaches/styles used. I had NO idea there
were so many different philosophies (some were established in the 1700s!)
and how these techniques are used today with presenting art and integrating it
into the public classroom (schools, museums, etc.). Take a look! Saylor University
Other MOOCs to consider: I highly recommend that everyone taking this course, sign up for "Art Historical Methodologies ARTH301" through
I highly recommend you take Modern and Contemporary Poetry by Prof. Al Filreis. It's the first MOOC I took, and frankly, it spoiled me. It's truly an inquiry-based MOOC that was organized and implemented in a manner that kept me engaged from the first minute. Al was very invested in the course and in the success of the participants, constantly making his presence felt and asking open-ended questions as opposed to lecturing and giving us the answers.
Next week – our Project – good luck everybody!

Los Feliz Triangle Park
Hollywood Blvd. & Prospect Ave. at Vermont Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90027
ShoeboxLA is very pleased to begin its second season with Los Angeles artist Jay Erker. For Cut Both Ways Erker presents, in book form, layered fashion advertisements whose subject matter has been clearly removed. Bodies of abstraction are created by the accumulation of layered pages and the subsequent interstitial spaces are shaped from the cut away figures. Eliminating the subject diverts attention from that which is meant to compel, focusing the viewer's attention to the figure's absence, the background of the originating image, and the newly constructed abstracted imagery. Erker received her MFA in film at California Institute of the Arts in 2001 and her BFA in photography in 1997 from the University of Florida. She co-founded Weekend, an artist-run space in Los Feliz, with husband John Mills.
