Abstract—Evidence from a range of studies indicates the potential that mobile technologies have to support important aspects of learning. However, it is clear from a number of study findings offering evidence about implementation approaches that developing relevant uses of mobile technologies to support learning is not concerned just with appropriateness of learner techniques or pedagogical approaches, but also with developing wider cultural acceptance and involvement in the contexts in which learning is supported. This paper will present an argument that implementing activities involving mobile technologies that offer benefits to learning requires an adoption of approaches and factors at a wide systemic level. Learning activities using mobile technologies can (and should) occur within learning settings that constitute the foundation of a wide system, including both home and school (informal to formal) elements. An implementation framework is proposed that accommodates appropriate practices within this wide context. It highlights the need for cultural and political factors to be involved at earlier as well as later implementation stages if wide success is to be accomplished.
• For the head teacher—recognizing the learning potential of the devices; providing opportunities for discussion, reflection, and monitoring.
• For teachers—identifying and selecting appropriate learning activities; supporting activities focusing on important aspects of learning; allowing and mediating the development of activities focusing on social, metacognitive, and megacognitive aspects of learning; involving parents on a regular basis with learning activities; gaining feedback about impacts and successes of learning activities; providing pupils with opportunities to exercise increasing independence as to when and where to use devices inside and outside the classrooms; widening learning activity uses each school term.
• For parents—being willing to be involved in supporting learning activities with children; monitoring how devices are being used and whether impacts can be recognized; supporting appropriate social as well as educational uses of devices.
• For a project or LA consultant—providing effective learning activity exemplars.
• For pupils—being willing to explore learning activities using devices; being willing to explore uses of devices inside and outside the school.
• For the head teacher—gaining advice on usability and usefulness of specific devices; enabling technical support; ensuring a range of resources on devices, including Internet access, to allow important learning activities to be undertaken.
• For teachers—offering plans to manage the operation of devices and how pupils and parents will maintain these; providing opportunities for pupils to develop technical and operational skills at the same time when undertaking selected learning activities; providing opportunities for pupils to share their technical knowledge with others.
• For parents—gaining awareness of how to maintain and manage the operation of the devices; being aware of technical routes to follow if required.
• For a project or LA consultant—providing technical support or advice regularly; maintaining Internet access inside and (where possible) outside the school; providing facilities that allow pupils and teachers to keep and share resources; providing opportunities for pupils and teachers to engage with others in other schools.
• For pupils—gaining technical and operational skills while undertaking learning activities; seeking qualifications to demonstrate technical and operational skills; sharing skills willingly with others.
• For the head teacher—being willing to take a positive lead; involving parents in "buy-in"; accommodating the likelihood of shifting concerns by different parties; building in the legitimacy of undertaking activities with mobile devices for all parties; accounting for an impact dip if this arises.
• For teachers—being willing to tell pupils that they can use mobile devices as they wish even in lessons; introducing mechanisms to allow pupils to support each other; capturing important uses and outcomes to share them with others.
• For parents—being willing to accept that mobile devices are legitimate resources to support a range of important learning activities.
• For a project or LA consultant—being aware of and offering ways to support a system involving teachers, parents, and pupils.
• For pupils—being willing to explore different features offered by the devices knowing that this is legitimate.
• For the head teacher—providing ways for all parties to gain ownership of learning involvement; involving parents and pupils in learning endeavor; managing parental expectations; enabling regular discussions with parents, teachers, and pupils.
• For teachers—managing pupil expectations; providing regular learning opportunities that are home- and out-of-school-based; celebrating successes and allowing pupils to gain qualifications; providing for the sharing of ideas and how individual pupils have used the devices.
• For parents—being willing to purchase or part-purchase devices; accepting involvement in educational and learning practices; allowing children to use devices as they see fit.
• For a project or LA consultant—supporting sharing across the stakeholder groups, of technical, operational, and pedagogical features.
• For pupils—developing capabilities enhancing independence of action and engagement with learning; exercising judgment about choice of approaches and media to suit learning needs.

Product Overview
- Well priced
- A little too hot
Product:Giro Air Attack
Price as reviewed:£119.99
At £120 for this helmet, it's nice to see that Giro isn't trying to take us for a ride with the Air Attack.
Without the use of a wind tunnel, it's hard to argue with the aerodynamics of this helmet.
One thing that is certain, though, is that it's not the quietest lid I've used.
It's now had three evening races in mixed conditions, and it's one for the classics.
Obviously, everyone feels heat in a different way, and I'm usually cold, yet found I didn't want to race in it once the arm-warmers came off - it felt just too warm.

Ive eaten cake made from whole fish, gotten drunk at a heavy metal karaoke bar, visited a zoo consisting entirely of dead animals, and I have been locked outside, naked, in the deep polar-night due to a malfunctioning Finnish door. Ive even been to Moscow, and that place is on an entirely different level of weird. They have street shows where people bet on large falcons that eat tiny kittensI know because I watched one. But nothing could prepare me for what greeted me when I went grocery shopping yesterday. [img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/16353-132971-IMG2215JPG-620x.jpg[/img] Yeah, thats right. Thats a pasta brand using an illegal rip-off of our beloved plumber to sell their evil-wares. To add insult to injury, they dont even attempt to hide this fact. The only thing that they altered was his name. [img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/16353-132971-IMG2216JPG-620x.jpg[/img] Im sorry but a chiefs hat does not make Mario turn magically into Marco, and thus allows you to bypass a huge lawsuit. Naturally, I nerd raged. I was insulted that they would take my beloved icon and pervert him in such a foul manner. It was spitting on my childhood, common legal sense, and the good name of Nintendo. Finally, I was able to distill my anger into a plan of action. [img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/16353-132971-IMG2247JPG-620x.jpg[/img] I made delicious Marco butter pasta and broiled pork steak.

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:132778Monsters' Den: A Free Game That Doesn't Suck2009-05-20T10:52:28Z2009-05-20T10:52:28ZIve always been skeptical about free PC games. I grew up in the great age of freeware discs, so my idea of a free game is something with limited capacities, poor art, and derivative gameplay. Thats why the quality of Monsters Den: the Book of Dread blew my mind. At its core Monsters Den: the Book of Dread is an old-school dungeon crawler. It plays something like a mash-up of Diablo 2 and the Dungeons and Dragons tabletop role playing game, and its completely unapologetic about borrowing liberally from its source material. Its a game clearly made for fans of the genre by a group of individuals deeply steeped in the core mechanics of the games. A player begins by choosing a four character quest-party from a slew of fantasy archetypes (Warrior, Cleric, Mage, Ranger, Rogue, Barbarian, and Conjuror), assigning names to the selected characters, and picking out an appropriate portrait. After the initial creation process the player can select from several lengthy campaigns with vastly different themes, plots, and difficulty levels. [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6cdJM5oXUS8/SJNhVh2ve2I/AAAAAAAAF9s/L9tJgfZ6P14/s800-R/monsters-den-book-of-dread-survival-mode-level-100.png[/img] Once youre plunged into the game-proper you quickly realize that the game is graphically simplistic. The world is represented by a series of nondescript halls, viewed from a distant overhead view, forming a maze. Further exploration reveals graphical icons that represent potential battles, treasure chests, resurrection shrines, and dungeon exits. Once a battle is initiated your team of dungeon-delvers and their dastardly foes are displayed as static portraits. Graphically, its all very simple but I found the aesthetic to be extremely tasteful: the well done enemy portraits, animated attacks, and an intuitive interface all added spice. Battles are turned based and you can prompt your party to perform any of six individually assigned attacks, buffs, summons, and spells. Your adventurers have an energy-bar, which is depleted from the use of magic, and a health-bar that you need to keep an eye on. Most enemies are exceptionally weak to certain attacks and are extremely resistant to others. In short, if youve ever played an electronic RPG or D&D youll feel right at home. Where Monsters Den really shines is in the absolutely mind-boggling number of loot drops. Every defeated monster and treasure chest will yield loot in the form of weapons, armors, potions, and magical items. They all have randomly assigned statistics, values, and rarities. The rarer items are uniquely named and provide the user with additional statistical bonuses ala Diablo 2. There is also a town shop at which you can either sell excess loot or buy additional items. Its all pretty heavy stuff for a browser based game. [img]http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/2346/demonhidecloakxs5.png[/img] As you delve deeper into the dungeon you gain an additional level with each new floor. This allows you to tweak your statistics (Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, and Intellect), and learn new skills. This lets you craft the character you desire and is an almost direct copy of the Dungeons and Dragons system. Monsters Den: the Book of Dread is a monster of game. If you love playing with statistics, dungeon crawling, old school role playing, or just table-top gaming it comes highly recommended. Youre allotted four permanent saved game slots, you can select any number of difficulties, it has an intuitive interface, and theres even a game-plus mode for every campaign. Its an impressive game, and the best part is that its absolutely free.

This is a blog about censorship, so please feel free not to read it. If anything I say offends you please feel free to either stop reading or let me know in the comments. I will attempt to respond. America is a big place founded on ideals that we dont always live up to. We have endemic poverty, were often xenophobic, and we can seem a bit strange to the rest of the world. Were bigger than most people seem to realize: the state of Texas is almost twice the size of the country of Germany. The United States is a jumbled collection of people with different backgrounds, religions, ethnicities, and orientations. Us Americans try to get along, but we often dont. Yes, we do have racism. Even with a black president, race is an inescapable fact of many American lives. It may always be part of our culture. Its something were not very proud of. But, Resident Evil 5 is not racist. It is a video game set in Africa. The primary antagonists of the story seem to be native to the region. These plot decisions have necessitated the need for dark skinned foes. This is realism not racism. Even if Resident Evil 5 were blatantly racist I would still not oppose its release. It would offend every fiber of my moral sensibility if this was the reality of the situation. But I would still fight for its right to be released. [img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/16353-121102-freespeech21jpg-468x.jpg[/img] Free speech is not polite speech. It will always be uncomfortable for someone; but thats just how the First Amendment of the United States Constitution works. It seems that those critical of the perceived racial bias in this game have a set a double standard. It seems that they seek to establish those of African descent as a protected ethnic group. Especially irritating are those that offhandedly dismiss the double standard claim. This is usually done by arguing that Africans have a unique image problem.The logical extension of this argument is that the rest of humanity is just fine to use as pixel-fodder. Obviously, there are no other negative stereotypes than a brutal black man. Resident Evil 5 is sure to become an issue. There will be countless newspaper editorials, magazine articles, and internet blogs on this very subject. Some will call for boycotts and others for outright bans. This will be particularly noticeable in the United States. I find this to be inexcusable. But like I said, were a big nation that doesnt always live up to our ideals.

Sometimes we do crazy things. We take a look at the current state of our lives and realize that its time for a change. Things just get dull, and we begin to become jaded. Our day to day lives begin to seem like prisons, and the only way out is a major change. Thats why I moved to Finlandsort of. It was a number of things really. I got laid off from my job, was forced to change apartments, and had developed a serious case of apathy. Life suddenly stopped being exciting for me. Even video games began to seem dull. So I did the only logical thing. I walked right into my departmental advisors office and applied to study abroad. I really didnt care where, because it really didnt matter. This was more a matter of saving my soul than visiting some tourist destination. I just had to movelike Jack Kerouac just had to get on the road. It was an overwhelming compulsion. [img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/16353-120375-jesusjpg-468x.jpg[/img] I chose Finland because I heard it had lakesseriously. I didnt speak a word of Finnish, or know the first thing about Finland. I literally signed the form and found the country on the map when I got home. I left North Carolina on New Years and havent looked back since. It was probably the best decision Ive ever made. Ive got my soul and my zest for life back. Im living in Ouluabout a hundred miles from the Arctic Circle. When I first got here there was only three hours of daylight per day, the temperature was well below zero Fahrenheit, and I saw more snow in one day than I had previously seen in my whole life. It was wonderful. I also discovered that I like photography, so all of the pictures are my own. [img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/16353-120375-IMG0520JPG-468x.jpg[/img] In the end I think I did it because of playing video games. The hero always seems to make a hard choice and then sees it through to the end: Mario always goes after Peach; Final Fantasy characters leave their lives behind to save the world; and Master Chief keeps soldiering on. I realized I had to be my own hero, because no one was going to save me. Its cheesy I know.

So, Im assuming that most of you are over the legal drinking age in your respective countries. Therefore I present you with a beer review. Im going to have to be honest. I think that almost everything Anheuser-Busch puts out is shit. Theyre the proud distributors of all that horrible beer you drank in college. Besides, theyre not even an American owned company. Thats why the ironically named American Ale impressed me so much. Its not the most fantastic beer in the world, but its reasonably priced and doesnt completely suck. Id say that American Ales quality is better than most mass produced beer, but not quite as good as a midlevel micro-brew. It has a really full flavoryou can actually taste the hopsand goes down smooth. American Ale finishes on a nice yeasty note. I picked up a six pack for around $6.50. American Ale is well worth the money, but it certainly wont blow your mind. Itd be a good beer to take to game night with the bros. Its also a good introduction into the world of slightly higher end bargain beersif you liked it, try Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale or Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA next. If I had to give it a numerical score Id give a 7.0.

Country Music Lifer George Jones To Get New Box-Set From Time Life
- Time Life plans to release Legends of American Music: George Jones, a three-CD boxed set covering the Hall of Famer's career, on May 20.
- John Goodspeed touches on a few country bending performances at SXSW, including: Shelby Lynne, Bruce Robison, Joanne Cotten, Deana Carter, and a few bands from The British Invasion with a twang.
- The other side of Miranda Lambert:
"I had 20 chicken eggs I was hatching in an incubator. I got home Sunday, and the one chicken that hatched died. I cried all day about my chicken dying," she says.
- Craig Shelburne has a list of six bands he saw at SXSW that he recommends you check out as well. Follow the link to the Buddy Miller video, that's some pretty sweet stuff.
- Shelburne also says the new Hayes Carll album, due out on April 8th, is well worth the wait.
- Long live the songs of Cindy Walker, whom Charles Haymes labels the greatest female songwriter in country music history. (via ggcolumn)
- On the subject of great women in country music, coming in at #96 on Country Universe's "100 Greatest Women" feature is Allison Moorer.
- The Tennessean's Beverly Keel says the public image of Alan Jackson as a shy, laid-back and easygoing man is misleading. "The real Jackson is also smart, quick-witted, strongly opinionated and sometimes stubborn," she says in her profile of the critically acclaimed singer. Jackson himself describes his life since becoming a celebrity:
"Since then, my life as a recording artist and celebrity, it's unreal. It's not normal after that. . . . I go to the grocery store about once a year. I lose touch with all the things that my fans are doing, everyday life things that they are just going through to get by. I'm totally out of touch with that, but at the same time, I think I had enough life experience that I can still stay grounded with that, I guess, and still have enough information there to continue to write songs that are simple and they can connect with."
- If you haven't heard, Carrie Underwood became the most recent member of the Grand Ole Opry over the weekend and Matt C. declared her the perfect choice.
- Another one bites the dust–Harp magazine folds after news that their parent company is filing for bankruptcy.
- Vanessa Franko says Dierks Bentley could possibly try out some of his new material acoustically this year at Stagecoach.
- Nashville singer/songwriter Jason Rogers won top honors for his song "Breathe Into Me" in the country category for the international Song of the Year competition for 2007. You can find out more about the competition for their "About Us" page.
- Linda from Still Is Still Moving posted pictures from Willie Nelson's performances last Thursday in Waco and Friday in Austin. It's nice to see the red, white, and blue guitar strap has returned to it's rightful spot around his neck.
- Video premiere of Taylor Swift's "Picture to Burn" on AOL Music.

Lovin' the Top 100 Women of Country list. Good stuff.
Time Life is like Rhino in that they typically do a good, but not great job with their reissue
The sound is good but the value for money in terms of playing time per disc is usually poor, discs running 55-60 minutes. In my hands right now I am looking at two different sets covering George Jones' Starday years. The Time-Life set has 15 songs , the foreign set called THE LEGEND BEGINS has 23 tracks. Fortunately there is only a 4 track overlap so both are worth having
I read that the Time-Life set will consist of three CDs with 60 songs. This sou for George Jones sounds great but there have already been a number of good sets on the Possum. Unless, of course, Time-Life has gotten their hands on the Musicor material and are including 10-15 of those cuts in the set
I heard that Willie was trading off on his guitar strap, with the leather one(the red/white/blue was pulling on his neck. It was nice to see it in Waco and at the Back Yard
Does Miranda Lambert cry every time she eats at KFC? Sheesh…..
The Top 100 Country Women on Country Universe is off to a great start. Should learn a lot from that one…
The article on Cindy Walker was very concise but got the point across. Just like with Western Swing music itself, I think Texas is one of the few states where the residents still aprreciate Cindy Walker's songs and great songwriting talent. Thanks for the link!
Wow, so it turns out Alan Jackson is a normal human being after all these years! Im shocked!…..(lol)
Rick, I know plenty of people who would cry if they had to eat at KFC.:)
I hope to cry if I 'had' to eat at ANY fast food place by the time the year is over. ;)

Named Stereo Review's album of the year (and, really, can you ask for a better endorsement than that?) upon its release and generally regarded as the album that introduced Randy Newman the songwriter to a wide audience, Nilsson Sings Newman has gained a reputation of being an minor masterwork. This, in a way, is misguiding, since this isn't an obvious record, where the songs are delivered simply and directly. It's deliberately an album of subtle pleasures, crafted, as the liner notes state, line by line in the studio. As such, the preponderance of quiet piano-and-voice tracks (featuring Newman himself on piano, Nilsson on vocals) means the record can slip away upon the first few listens, especially for anyone expecting an undeniable masterpiece. Yet, a masterpiece is what this is, albeit a subtle, graceful masterpiece where the pleasure is in the grace notes, small gestures, and in-jokes. Not to say that this is devoid of emotion; it's just that the emotion is subdued, whether it's on a straightforward love song ("Caroline") or a tongue-in-cheek tale like "Love Story." For an album that introduced a songwriter as idiosyncratic as Newman, it's only appropriate that Nilsson's interpretations are every bit as original as the songs. His clear intonation and sweet, high voice are more palatable than Randy's slurred, bluesy growl, but the wild thing is, these versions demand that the listeners surrender to Nilsson's own terms. He's created gentle, intricate arrangements of tuneful yet clever songs, and as such, the album may be as much an acquired taste as Newman. Once you've acquired that taste, this is as sweet as honey.

Blowing off steam is human nature, but one needs to act as if every word might be accidentally transmitted either over the radio, phone, etc. So if caught, one only needs to prepare for what is to come from the supervisor.
No excuss for it to go over the air or overheard in the background at dispatch while on the phone.

As far as cussing, you should always wait until someone else it talking on the radio and then say the preferred words so it is that "background" noise that we are all use to hearing.
Each center is different. Mine we let loose, if something ****es you off let it fly, I don't care, I am old enough to know what offends me and what doesn't. Nobody else cares, least of all the supervisors. As long as it doesn't go over a phone line or radio it doesn't matter. They know this room is our room and they respect that and as long is as everything is being handled a few swear words isn't going to cause a problem.
I have worked both sides of the radio and I have never found the need to swear in front of citizen or anyone for that matter, however there is something about the chair and four walls and computer screens that just brings out the best of my vocabulary. We even did the swear jar one year and believe me that was one hell of party, opps sorry one hec of a party.
My point is if you have people in your comm center who take offense to swearing, well I guess you have to accommodate that and watch your language. Your job isn't worth a swearword or two.
I agree with MRJIM, we let our new people know of the free fire zone and it's never been a problem.

Hans Chapter FiveHans' ship arrived the day of the coronation. As he came down the plank leading Sitron along, his first real view of Arendelle was gorgeous. The people were out enjoying the sunny weather, doing their shopping and going about their lives. Flowers opened their petals towards the sky on every windowsill, goods stacked in surplus in the market, and a lush, green forest carpeted the background. The kingdom was healthy and ready for his rule. The shipmates carried his luggage off into the inn loading area. All visiting nobles would be staying in the finest hotel in the kingdom, very near to the castle. While looking up at the turrets his mind dug for ways to break the ice between them. He smirked at the pun and shook his head.Hans Chapter Five by Shellyluvstoread
As he made his way to the gates, the prince couldn't help a small smile when he felt a gentle tug on his coattails. A flower was held up to him as a girl no older than five shuffled her feet and looked down at the ground. He smiled and kissed her head, taking the flow
Hans Chapter FourEverything had gotten so much better in the time span of only a few months. Hans' brothers were actually teaching him, helping him, accepting him. It was as if the past eighteen years had been a bad dream.Hans Chapter Four by Shellyluvstoread
Even the eldest,Theodore, was his main mentor in the human nature classes. He would go through every little step Hans didn't understand.
"What does it mean by 'finding someone's weakness?'"'
Theodore looked over and scanned through the page.
"In order to get the kingdom, you will probably have to manipulate people. Some are easier than others. Ones that show their weaknesses are the easiest. For example, your Elsa will have to open up to show you something that lets her guard down. We don't know what has happened since she was eight, but those closed gates tell me that she won't be very friendly. On the other hand, her sister could melt if anyone tried to talk to her. This is why you should keep your options open."
Hans tapped his fingers nervously. He had already promised himself th
Control, Don't ShowHans paced around the arena, hands clasped behind his back and a frustrated look etched on his face. His gloves lay forgotten beside Sitron, who was watching attentively from a ways away. The king had been very clear about what he should be able to do before he left for his trip to Arendelle. Keep the powers under control, know your limits, and don't let your emotions get the best of you.Control, Don't Show by Shellyluvstoread
Fire was not solid in any shape or form. It could only burn. The only thing it could do was destroy. Other than to warm it had no purpose! Then again, usually fire wasn't conjured from people's hands.
He chewed on his lips and started a simple flame in his palm. He allowed it to grow. There was a stationary target at the end of the area, which he aimed and missed. He ground his teeth together and dug his boot into the ground. The only thing he could do was to learn from his mistakes, so he took another shot but this time he focused in on the flying ball of fire and willed it to hit the center of the t
The Med StudentThe public library was Elsa's favorite place to be. No one bothered her, she had her own little corner and there was the perfect view of the medical section.The Med Student by Shellyluvstoread
Every Sunday she would curl up and hope a certain med student would come to study. Of course she couldn't talk to him. Even though he was a year above her, he was one of her sister's close friends and Anna was almost ready to propose to him herself. He was off limits. But that didn't mean Elsa couldn't admire his face.
Right on time, Hans showed up and crept in between the shelves.
Elsa glanced up from behind her book and grimaced. Some guys were too pretty. Some guys didn't need sideburns to highlight their jaw. Some guys didn't need stunning green eyes that made her chest shrink in on itself.
Before he could notice, she was back to staring at her book. This run around was getting really stupid, but it was hard to stop once she got started. She huffed in frustration and put the book up vertically, balanced on its hardback, her ey

A deeply satisfying continuation of one of my favourite characters. The novel is presented in Abercrombie's creative language and with violent panache. Highly reccomendedPublished 14 days ago by Mark Ellis Gough

Abercrombie fan here. Not a fan of the western genre, so for me this one started slow. I trudged through the first 40% of the book, quite disappointed. Read morePublished 20 days ago by Lutz

'Neighbors' Parties Its Way Past 'Spider-Man' to Box Office Crown
Neighbors came in number one at the box office over the weekend, taking in $49 million during its first weekend in theaters, making for one of the biggest debuts of an R-rated comedy ever, according to figures from Box Office Mojo. The Seth Rogen and Zac Efron vehicle that pits a family man against the frat boys he lives next door to benefited from a strong marketing campaign and solid reviews from critics, pushing The Amazing Spider-Man 2 out of the top spot after the latest installment in the superhero franchise spent just one weekend at number one.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 showed a decline of over 61 percent, only taking in $35 million over the weekend. It seems the appeal of stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone weren't enough to save a movie in the reboot of a franchise that many feel was unnecessary and too soon after the Spider-Man trilogy directed by Samm Raimi and starring Toby Maguire. Box Office Mojo predicted that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 would have the worst box office performance of any film in the franchise after its lackluster debut. The movie currently has a lowly 54 percent fresh rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Neighbors, meanwhile, managed to snag decent reviews and a 74 percent fresh rating on the site. While at first glance the movie looks like a typical bro comedy, it was aided by the performances of teen idol Zac Efron and female comedian Rose Byrne who was actually allowed to play a real role in the film rather than being relegated to second place as per usual for women in these types of comedies. Box Office Mojo also pointed out that those two actors helped drive the viewership of young women, with the audience being 53 percent female and 47 percent under the age of 25.
The Other Woman came in third, showing a 33 percent loss to make $9.6 million during its third week in theaters. People continue to show up for the film based on the star-power of Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and model Kate Upton despite the movie's terrible reviews.

text: How to Use Yoga Props From Blocks to Bolsters: Yoga Props Deciphered by Lizzie Fuhr 2/21/12 16 Reactions 59 Shares Print 33 5 21 0 0 When you're first getting acquainted with a yoga practice at a studio, you know that you've got to wear comfortable clothes and that a mat is required. You think you're all prepared, but then you see a huge wall loaded with props. The whole thing can be a little intimidating to say the least. Many believe that props are just for beginners, but guess again. Even the most advanced instructors utilize help from props to achieve a pose to its fullest potential. Still concerned? No need to fear. Here is an explanation of seven of the most basic props and why they're each wonderful. Blocks What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Blocks offer the stability needed for ideal alignment, deeper poses, and increased strength. If seated poses make you cringe, employing a block can take some of the edge off your hamstrings or lower back. If you're unable to touch the ground in standing poses, bring the ground closer to you by balancing your hand on a block instead of the floor! You'll get the same benefits of the full posture without the risk of pushing yourself too far. Source 1 / 6 Printed Blankets What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When you walk into a yoga studio, chances are you'll see big stack of woven blankets. These guys are wonderful to sit on at the start of class to get your back in comfortable, seated alignment. One of my favorite ways to use a blanket is in Pigeon. For a little extra help, I love rolling a blanket up and threading it under my bent leg for support. They're also awesome for Savasana: roll up a blanket and place it under your knees, or cover your body if it feels chilly in the room. Even if a teacher doesn't request it, if they're available, it's a great idea to grab one. You never know when they'll come in handy. Source 2 / 6 Straps What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Straps are one of the most underutilized props for beginners. A lot of times people are afraid of not looking flexible enough so they don't go to grab one. Big mistake! Straps help you grasp limbs and deepen stretches so you really get a feel for the posture. They're also wonderful for people with an intermediate or advanced practice that are trying to perfect bound poses. Source 3 / 6 Bolsters What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sitting on a yoga bolster gives your back a much-needed break. When you're first starting out, a bolster can help prop you up when you're trying to go for deep spinal stretches. They're also an amazing tool to help enhance your breath. With the proper vertebrae alignment a bolster offers, you'll be able to take fuller and deeper yoga breaths. My favorite use of a bolster? Placing one under my back to prop my chest up and open up my heart. If you sit at a computer all day, trust me when I say your bod will thank you for this. Source 4 / 6 Sandbags What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sandbags are widely employed to enhance restorative postures. Their most common use is to deepen stretches by adding extra weight (typically 10 pounds) to a particular area and help bring awareness to it. For example, if you place a sandbag on your stomach or chest, you'll bring more attention to the rise and fall of your breath. Getting set up on bolsters and having sandbags placed all over your body can ease you into truly delicious relaxation. Source 6 / 6 Eye Pillows What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If your mind races and calculates during Savasana, grab an eye pillow. They're amazing to help you chill and zone out at the end of your practice!

In addition to getting ramped up to see familiar faces and meet new ones, we'll be toting around a copies of a few of our forthcoming titles and plenty of shiny new catalogs to wave in your faces. And since we won't be at a booth this year, we will instead be everywhere. In the book lines, at publishers' booths, at snack-and-wine gatherings in the aisles, not
not crashing evening parties/events/galas, in the whispers of the wind, in the rustling of exhibit floor curtains. In your free book totes and dreams.

International Trade and Strategic Privatization
AbstractThe literature on mixed oligopoly does not consider that there is strategic interaction between governments when they decide whether to privatize their public firms. In order to analyze this quetion we consider two countries; In each country there is one public firm and n private firms. Firms have a constant marginal cost of production and the public firm is less efficient than the private firms. In this framework, we show that when the marginal cost of the public firms takes an intermediate value only one government privatizes its public firm and that government obtains a lower social welfare than the other.
