Using Questions to Guide Learning: "Just in Time Teaching"
As teaching and learning at UNH become increasingly influenced by the philosophical concepts that underlie the Discovery Program—e,g., active learning, learner-centered pedagogy, and inquiry-guided learning—many faculty are looking for ways of replacing their traditional lecture/discussion class formats with new ways of engaging their students in the subject matter and of motivating students to assume greater degrees of responsibility for the learning that they take away from the course.
In the estimation of a growing number of practitioners, one such technique enables them to meet their students' wish for a more engaging and relevant approach, while at the same time allowing for a deeper grasp of the course content without sacrificing the breadth of coverage that is often dictated by the larger curriculum. The pedagogy—"Just in Time Teaching" (JiTT)—might sound like it's a substitute for detailed preparation for class, but it's quite the opposite. In fact, rather than prepare to teach a given class that will run as it was scripted well in advance of the scheduled meeting, professors who use JiTT must be prepared for a variety of scenarios, one of which is that many students didn't quite understand the material from the previous class and therefore adjustments must be made to incorporate that lack of understanding, or even false understanding, into the approach one takes to the following class.
The challenge is to find a way to assess the degree of understanding or misunderstanding, and at the same time be able to uncover its source in time to do something about it—that is, before the hole gets any deeper. At the same time, one doesn't want to completely bore the students who "got it" the first time by going over the material in the same way, one more time. This is a possible shortcoming of the in-class assessment techniques many of us are already using: "muddiest point" papers, minute papers, etc. or "peer instruction devices"(commonly referred to as "clickers"). These very valuable methods of getting a snapshot of student understanding offer just that—a still photo. JiTT proponents claim their approach lets them "get into students' minds…it helps make their thinking visible." The claim is that the technique helps them get past " Did they get it?" to "Why did they miss the point I wanted to make?"
How it works
According to James Rhem of the National Teaching and Learning Forum , "the mechanics of JiTT appear overtly simple: professors post a number of queries (commonly called 'warm ups') on a course web site prior to each class meeting. Students must log on and post replies to these by a certain deadline (usually a few hours before class). Professors review the student replies before class and make the understanding, partial understandings and complete misunderstandings the focus of the class meeting." Note that preparation for class now involves directly addressing the issue of students learning material, rather than putting together a presentation about that material.
Obviously, the effectiveness of JiTT is directly related to the type of questions posed and to the students' willingness to participate in a process that requires them to actively engage with the subject both inside and outside of class. Examples of "warm ups" from various disciplines can be found on the WEB sites provided below. Also to be found are activities designed to help students see how course topics can be better understood and more interesting when applied to situations they find relevant to their lives. These activities, called "good fors,"--as in "What is physics (or statistics, or biology, or psychology…) good for?", are designed to force students to make the connections between knowledge and application, rather than have the professor make that connection for them.

Evidently, they take wheelchair basketball very seriously in Turkey. Fans of bitter rival teams Galatasary and Besiktas hurled objects onto the court midway through the second quarter of their game last weekend, injuring several players. Players and coaches attempted to reason with the rabid crowd, but it was to no avail, as the police were subsequently called in and used tear gas to disperse the angry mob.
Wow, and I thought we take our rivalries seriously. Puts Auburn-Alabama or Yankees-Red Sox in a different light doesn't it? I doubt things would have gone this way if my man Sam Wyche was on the scene. Now that's a man who knows how to deal with an unruly crowd.

On the bright side, due to the rioting the league would have more players newly put into wheelchairs to enhance the talent pool.

text: Going into this draft I figured they would try to get at least two CBs and a forward today. Then in the supplemental draft get a GK and either another defender or another attacking player. The most sure fire thing I expected was a GK in the supplemental draft. After today, who knows what we will do. For those wondering we have the 6th pick in the second round and the sixth pick of the 3rd round in the supplemental draft. We do not have picks in the 1st (Buddle trade) or the 4th round (Janniere trade back in the day). It is Tuesday January 22nd via conference call.

All your fancy backcountry tools won't do you much good without the right pack to carry them. Be prepared for whatever you face outside the resort boundaries with the Dakine Heli Pro DLX Backpack. It's equipped with plenty of specialized pockets and straps to hold your gear and an ergonomic design that won't hold you back when you're shredding down.
The main compartment has a shovel blade sleeve and room for your probe, and loops on the exterior hold your shovel handle so your rescue tools are always easy to access. An insulated hydration pocket keeps your water from freezing, and a fleece-lined goggle pocket protects spare lenses from getting scratched. If you feel like bootpacking, you have the option of vertical or horizontal snowboard carry straps, and retractable cables hold your skis if you're on two planks. A quick-draw ice axe sleeve allows quick access to your axe if you find yourself in a hairy situation, and an integrated rescue whistle on the sternum strap can help you if you really find yourself in a pinch.

Ben Rabinowitz
hey Jpi,
This pack does *not* have a helmet carry. Hit me up and I can help you find a pack that does!
1-800-409-4502 ext. 4767
Great versatile pack.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used this pack for a few days of resort skiing in Colorado. It carried gopro gear, lunch, water in a hydration pack, and a pair of pakems, all with room to spare. It was comfortable to wear for an 8 hour day of skiing. Kept everything inside dry even after multiple tumbles in deep snow. I hope to use this as a small backcountry pack someday.
I've also used it for hiking and birdwatching. Carried a camera and binoculars. Fits a jacket easily if it get's too warm. Just a quality day pack for all sorts of activities. You won't be disappointed.
Great day-tour backcountry bag
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I put the shovel spade bit in the front pocket thing, poles and shovel handle on various side straps (I still don't know if I'm doing it right, but they don't fall off when I take a dive, so it's probably ok), water bladder thing, probe, spare gloves etc in the main compartment, and there is masses of room left over. Snowshoes also strap to the back as required. I'm not that hardcore so I don't know what else we'd need to take on an average full-day tour. Jet boil? Thermos?
Oh yes and it also looks and feels really good.
Great Pack
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have yet to use this pack but I disagree with the review below about it being a side country pack. I can fit more than enough for a full day tour. The padded back is really nice. My only complaint is that that "goggle pocket" is not big enough to fit a pair of goggles. You could still throw them in the main compartment.
Daryl Greaser
Solid resort or "sidecountry" pack
First, it's ALL backcountry - what I mean by "sidecountry" is this pack is barely big enough for backcountry essentials. This is a pack for doing laps at the local day-trip-pow-stash, but definitely not a pack for a serious day-long excursion. At least if you're me.
I've been using mine for only in-bounds skiing, for which it is perfect! Puffy, water, snacks, cans of craft beer, spare goggles, music, etc. all fit in the pack with ease and I barely know it's there.
I've also used it to hike out-of-bounds at some local hills, but I don't think loading it up with emergency provisions, probe, shovel, etc. is what this was built for. OKAY, maybe if you're heli-skiing!
The only feature lacking that the bigger models have is back-access. I didn't realize how good it is until I lost it when I downgraded from the Pro II.
Finally, what kind of bottle fits in that deploy-able side-pocket? Not any water bottle I've seen. I found it works best for crushed beer cans, keeping the suds outside!

Quality. I am very pleased with this backpack. I would definitely recommend it. Worth the pennies. I got the red one which I wouldn't have normally purchased but so glad I did...

I wish each day had ten more hours so I could tell you about so many dishes already.
This is how behind I feel in all I want to share: Six weeks ago our family came back from the Copper Canyon in Mexico. I took notes, pictures, short videos, interviewed cooks, planted myself in their kitchens until forcefully uprooted by my husband, and ate like a mad woman from any interesting sounding dish, which was practically everything (partly with the purpose to come and tell you all about it...).
Then we came home, and life got in the way... I took longer to launch this site because I wanted to add more sections. By the time it was ready, so many weeks had gone by, I was eager to share more recent food excursions from my kitchen.
Yesterday, these red tomatoes reminded me of my delayed purpose. They looked perfectly ripe to become the base for that Mexican Style Rice we ate at the Chepe train (formally known as the Chihuahua al Pacífico). It was unbelievable. Not only how good it tasted, but where and how it is made, every day.
I expected to find scrumptious food along the Copper Canyon, but not aboard the train. Used to pre-packaged sandwiches and microwaved hot dogs on the Amtrak, it was suck a treat to choose from a full menu of home-style food.
Ad we sat on the cushy blue seats, we were amazed at how the individual place settings set on the wooden tables jumped without falling as the train rocked on the old wooden tracks. With the light from the sun peeking through the window, the formally dressed waiters coming out of the kitchen appeared to step out from the Mexican 19th century, with charming mustaches in the like of the long gone Profirian era and all.
More amazement, as they poured coffee, dancing as in a tight rope with the steaming pots at least 10 inches away from the cups they were aiming to fill. But even more amazement, after we tasted the food. Such good food on a train? I had puntas de filete with a side of refried beans, quesadillas and the best ever Mexican style rice. Even before dessert, this felt like a trip within the trip itself.
And yes, that chile serrano you see in the picture is optional. You can omit it, substitute it for a jalapeño, and can add a couple more if you like. But if you are having Mexicans over, watch out: those chiles that have absorbed the flavors from all the ingredients in that pot, are the rice treasure we all hunt for.
Serves 6 to 8
2 cups long or extra long grain white rice
2 tomatoes, or about 1 pound, quartered
1/3 cup white onion, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt, or more to taste
3 tablespoons safflower or corn oil
3 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth, or water
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, optional
2 parsley sprigs
3/4 cup carrots, peeled and diced, optional
1/2 cup shelled green peas, fresh of frozen, optional
1 or 2 chiles Serranos, optional
In a bowl, soak the rice in hot water for about 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain very well.
While the rice soaks, purée the tomatoes in the blender along with the onion, garlic and salt. Pass through a strainer and reserve.
Heat the oil in a thick heavy skillet (if you have one with a transparent lid, pick that one) over medium high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the rice and sauté, stirring often, until the color of the rice changes to a strong milky white and it shows more resistance and makes a heavier sound as you stir it around, probably about 3 to 4 minutes.
Pour in the strained tomato purée, mix it gently and let it cook until the color of the purée has darkened, thickened and is mostly absorbed, about 3 more minutes.
Stir in the chicken or vegetable broth and lime juice, give it a gentle stir and top with the parlsey sprig, the diced carrots, peas and serrano chiles, if so desired.
Let it all come to a boil, and when it does, put the cover on and reduce the heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes. Here is where that transparent lid becomes so handy, as you can see what is going on inside the pot without losing steam. You know the rice is ready when it is cooked through and tender, most of the liquid has been absorbed, but there is a lot of moisture in the pot. If the rice is not yet tender and the liquid has dried up, add a couple tablespoons more water, cover again and let it cook for a couple more minutes.
Let the rice sit covered for at least 5 minutes before you fluff with a fork and serve. You may also make it beforehand and reheat it covered over low heat with a tablespoon of water.
Patricia, Thank you for sharing news about your trip to Chihuahua, and of course the yummy sounding rice recipe. I did not understand when to include the lime juice nor the chile. Could you please clarify? Many thanks. AdrianaAdriana Kocornik-Mina | June 3, 2009 4:20 PM
I love this post. I want to take the train ride and eat the steak with the refried beans. What is better the trip or the food?!?!??!Tamara | June 3, 2009 4:55 PM
Hey there! The food, the food, the food and the food... but that train helps too... (!)Pati Jinich replied to comment from Tamara | June 3, 2009 5:16 PM
My pleasure Adriana! Look for the specific directions inside of the recipe, which follows directly form that post. But you add the lime juice after you add the chicken or vegetable broth, then you mix it all gently and add the chile, parsley sprigs and vegetables of your choice. Let me know if you try it!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Adriana Kocornik-Mina | June 3, 2009 5:20 PM
I love the pictures. Whoever took them is a great photographer. Now how about an entry titled "unforgettable scallops from Cabo" to start to get the stomach juices flowing....Daniel | June 3, 2009 5:47 PM
Thank you Dany for taking such beautiful pictures!!!! Ok... I will write about those scallops...Pati Jinich replied to comment from Daniel | June 3, 2009 7:35 PM
Hi Pati,
This rice transported me back to Mexico! What a gorgeous photo, recipe and well, site!! I look forward to many more of your postings...and I'm doing that trip next time.
-Un gustazo conocerte!
Hi Eliza! Many, many thanks for your comments.
El gusto es mutuo y nos veremos pronto!
Pati, Your site is absolutely wonderful, and I'm so excited to try the new recipes. Can't wait for the next Mexican Table events in the fall! We miss seeing you and learning all the new recipes and history of Mexico. Have been using the previous recipes on a VERY regular basis. I agree with one of the comments,chicken tinga on a tostada is the best.
See you soon!
Dearest Bonnie, Thank you very much for your comments! I am so happy the recipes from the classes are working in your kitchen and I really look forward to seeing you all in the next batch of classes.... I will try my best to have new menus and recipes you will also enjoy! Meanwhile... I will keep on posting things you can try here on this new site, let me know how you like them if you try them!! See you very soon...Pati Jinich replied to comment from Bonnie Johnston | June 18, 2009 7:49 PM
Hi Pati,
I'm just wondering how long this rice (as well as your refried beans recipe) will keep stored in the fridge? We're going to have a big Mexican meal and I'm trying to decide which dishes I can make in advance. Thanks!emilee | September 16, 2009 5:22 PM
Hi Emilee,
I suggest you make the rice up to one day ahead of time, if prepared before, it hardens too much in the refrigerator and acquires a watery taste. After you make it, let it cool, store in a covered container and refrigerate. The next day you want to eat it, place it in a pan, add about a tablespoon of water, close it with a lid and reheat it over the lowest possible heat. However, it tastes the best when made the same day. You don't have to make it right before you want to eat it, you can make it that same day, 4 to 6 hours ahead of time, and just reheat it over lowest possible heat.
As for refried beans, you can make them up to 4 to 5 days ahead of time and just reheat in a pot, covered, over lowest possible heat as well. They taste great with crumbled Cotija or Farmers' Cheese on top. Hope you have a great meal!!
Thanks Pati
My son loves Mexican Rice he calls it "Arroz Naranjita"
Your recipe is wonderful. As a traditional recipe it changes a little in every mexican home.
Your´s is so much better than the one we where using. We like adding some kernel corn (sometimes yellow canned, sometime white fresh).
Thank youManuel (Café Fenix) | September 29, 2009 12:02 PM
Hi Manuel! My boys call it "arroz rojito", almost the same as yours... Great idea about the corn, will give it a shot... Thank you...Pati Jinich replied to comment from Manuel (Café Fenix) | September 29, 2009 7:21 PM
Pati - I recently found your site and have added it to my favs. You suggested using Goya sauce in a recipe and I made the switch when I made sopa. WOW what a wonderful difference. Thank you and I'll look forward to visiting your site again and again.Judy | June 27, 2010 12:32 PM

Glad you all love it Sandra! :)Pati Jinich replied to comment from Sandra | December 8, 2011 2:27 PM
Pati, Thank you again for this site! I have been combing your recipes and copying them, since I did not write my Moms recipes down. This was the rice she always made and my sons favorite. In season we top it with fresh, sliced cantelope. My Mom's parents were from Spain and she always ate it like this. It adds a cool sweetness to the rice.
Muchisimas Gracias por tus recetas. Me has dado alegria...

Real Housewives of New York
Bethenny Frankel: It's "Ridiculous" That Kim Kardashian's Weight Gain Is News
Former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel — who has been pregnant while famous and is currently going through a very public divorce — knows a thing or two about living your life in the public eye. So, does she have sympathy for Kim Kardashian, whose pregnancy weight gain has become major tabloid fodder? Yes... well, kind of.
"Fame is a rose. It has petals and thorns," Bethenny told ABC in a recent interview. "No one is really crying for Kim Kardashian. She's not the first person to ever have a baby and gain weight. It's kind of ridiculous that that's news."
Her advice? "You just keep moving."
That's exactly what Bethenny is doing. She's focusing on her new talk show, Bethenny, which will generally not cover topics like Kim Kardashian's world of fame and paparazzi.
"All the content will be driven by me and people that I know," she explained. "Everybody is a show topic."
What do you think: Is Bethenny's advice to just ignore the haters and keep moving on with your life the right tactic for Kim to take? Sound off in the comments.

Hundreds came out in spite of the cold and drizzly weather to watch the annual holiday parade in Summerville Sunday. Approximately 117 entries in the parade entertained crowds for an hour and a half.
There was snow and snowballs, marshmallows roasting, music from four high school marching bands and a plethora of floats and marchers embracing the spirit of the holidays.
This years theme was Sweet Southern Christmas.
The parade is produced by Downtown Restoration Enhancement And Management DREAM and cosponsored by the Summerville Fire Department.
MCing this year was Tim Hamilton, retiring DREAM board member. The judges were Alix Kassing, DREAM board of directors, Howard Bridgman, DREAM board of directors, and Susan Morris, former director of DREAM.
Marchers ranged from the Mayor of Summerville and his wife, driven by the Chief of Police of Summerville to the most waited for Santa atop the fire departments ladder truck.
Winners this year, according to DREAM Executive Director Jan Hursey, are:
Best Overall The Village at Summerville
Most Original Rose Court Farm, Horse Dynasty
Most Creative Dorchester Career & Technology Center
Best Adherence to Theme Summerville Rotary Clubs
Judges Choice Stratford Marching Band and Drill Team
(This is not a yearly award it is given when the judges feel there is an entry that deserves recognition. The judges loved the bands performance at the reviewing stand.)

I had their Vietnamese chicken soup last night and liked it much better than I expected. The broth was rich enough for pho, the chicken was cooked just right, and the sauces were provided separately along with bean spouts, basil, pepper slices and lemon. I get more bean sprouts in restaurants at Eden Plaza but Young Chow's location makes up for that. Best pho I've found so far on on Capitol Hill.
Posted by MM on 12/04/2011
We just wasted $$ for what this place calls " Pho" or as the order taker said " Is our version of Pho" what he omitted was " Our version is hot water - OLD and few vegetables LOTs of Onions and Lemon wedges to camuflage the testless meat with flat noodles" this hot water soup was the poorest take out ever. Save your money and go elsewhere.

What used to be my favorite lunch on the hill has been ruined by new management. Kung Pao chicken is no longer Kung Pao but a dish of chicken smothered in a too-sweet PINK sauce.
Posted by Patsy on 06/05/2011
This place has gone under new management. Ordered my favorite takeout last week without realizing this. Got the food home and is was so poor had to toss it. The Kung Pao Chicken was something that tasted like last week's leftovers. The beef was like than stew meat. Whatever was good about this place is gone forever. Hope it closes soon.

Bland food but yet edible. Didn't get what was ordered and had to argue to get the credit for what wasn't delivered. They wanted to give credit for the "next time" . There won't be a next time. As stated the food was just bland and should have had an appropriate pricing of $5.00 and less. Delivery order promised in 45 to 50 minutes was 1 hour and 12 minutes.
Posted by Katie on 07/16/2009
I can't say a bad thing about this place. They are quick, cheap, and good. I've never had a bad experience. I feel like I had tried every place on the Hill and I finally found a winner!
Posted by Why can't cap hill have good food on 05/16/2009
Ordered crab rangoon fired dumplings and General Tsao's chicken. I had to eat 2 dumplings and 2 rangoons to tell them apart. The chicken was overcooked and tasted of burnt garlic. I am shocked by the positive reviews.

American Peter Uihlein wins Madeira Islands Open
SANTO ANTONIO DA SERRA, Portugal (AP) American Peter Uihlein won the Madeira Islands Open on Sunday in his 16th European Tour start for his professional title, closing with a 4-under 68 for a two-stroke victory.
Uihlein, the former Oklahoma State star who won the 2010 U.S. Amateur, birdied four of his last eight holes to finish at 15-under 273 at Santo da Serra.
"I'm just thrilled," Uihlein said "To do it playing well on the back nine, coming down the stretch, is sweet. ... I just knuckled down I guess. It was all putting that did it today, I was just trying to free up and they started to roll in so it was nice."
The 23-year-old Uihlein earned a European Tour exemption through next season. His father, Wally Uihlein, is the chief executive golf apparel and equipment manufacturer Acushnet.
"You grow up quick out here and that was the main reason I came over," Uihlein said. "It's been a good process so far and hopefully I can keep going."
He has three top-10 finishes in seven European Tour events this season.
Denmark's Morten Orum Madsen had a double bogey on the 18th for a 67 to tie for second with Chile's Mark Tullo. Tullo, the third-round leader, had a hole-in-one on No. 4, but had four bogeys in a 71.
Scotland's Craig Lee closed with a 71 to finish three strokes behind Uihlein.

J.J. Abrams is getting back in the saddle to direct the pilot for his television project Undercovers over at NBC. Not since the jaw dropping pilot for LOST has Abram taken a seat behind a camera that's in front of a set constructed specifically for a small screen airing.
The top brass is being very ellusive on the plot of the show, only saying that it's a mix between Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Bourne Identity. Hmmmm, two spy movies? When you take two things that are pretty much the same thing it's not really a mix. That's like blending katsup and marinara, cutting it with tap water and calling it reimagined buttered noodles topping. Or in my household: dinner.

Meaning & Origins

Ordinary Food.
I'd say most people would be happy easily not knowing there's better than something they felt is the best.
This restaurant I went was ok, I mean nothing extra ordinary that I would want to go again or recommend.
Food was good, sweets limited variety nothing special ( a few pastries, cream cake etc ) ..
found it pricey considering the food.

Great Service, Ordinary Food
They still have some distance to cross to become a good restaurant. They have tried to mimic Barbecue Nation in a way, which shows lack of originality.
The service staff is excellent and attentive to the right extent. Full marks on that front.
The food is average at best. The variety in starters is limited and the same in desserts. Won't be going there again!

Temple of the Food Admirers
Tenzo Temple - - - - a Divine Place where i want to be every time. It really hard to expunge its existence off my taste and soul.
As the Name Might a little bit Intriguing so is the Whole Restaurant behind the name, the Impeccable service and ambiance is the most flabbergast
The tempting Food quality and the profile is what excited me the most, also some of the vivid unique dishes Tenzo Temple made me to explore, and the concept of the Live Cooking delivered me the most satisfaction.
just navigate through the food section and you might be exhausted, cause it provide the most unique and exotic dishes.
Thanks Tenzo Temple for amazing night and Pure Justice to my Tummy
No Matter, Its all to the Food admirer, this restaurant depicts what the name says, Please dont miss to step in here - - - to be mesmerized
"Its the temple for the Food Admirers" :)

Taste at its best :)
Been here many a times and would definitely see myself going there time n again. Awesome Seafood, especially the starters :) Great east Asian flavours and variety of dishes to hop on :)....loved the ambience and efficient service by the staff
A must try for everyone who loves food :)
-keep up the good work :)
July 19, 2012response from management at Tenzo Temple:
sir thnx for all... its very precious... thnx again...
July 18,2012
A must visit place.
Excellent food, excellent ambience and very warm and welcoming staff.
This place definitely serves some of the best starters you will taste in and around Mumbai. While the North Indian food including even the dal varieties are lip smacking, the prime highlights of the buffet have to be their Basa (Vietnamese fish) preparation, Thai curries and Asian rice varieties.
Amol Khanvilkar, IT Operations Manager

Best value for your money
Went to this place with a huge baggage of expectation since this place shares its building with barbeque Nations and didn't return sad at all.
The menu of the buffet is a nice one and has something for everyone
Service is A grade. the starters are lovely and delicious .Though the main course is a bit of a let down ,the restaurant makes up for it with its line of desserts.Mouth watering is the only word for it.
A special note for Honey Fried Noodles lovers DELICIOUS.
Go ahead and have a lovely time here.

Principles of Risk and Insurance - Contract Characteristics
Law of Agency- Insurance Brokers vs. Insurance Agents
1) Insurance Brokers- A broker is a representative of the policy owner that acts as a marketing mediator between the insurer and the policy owner.
2) Insurance Agent- An agent is a legal representative of the insurance company authorized to offer the sale of its goods and services. An agent's authority to legally bind the insurer stems from three sources- Express, Implied, or Apparent Authority.
Agent's authority to Legally Bind a Principal:
|Express Authority
Company\'s Appointment of Agent to act on its behalf
i.e. agent is given the authority to solicit applications (agent agreement)
|Implied Authority
Public is led to believe the individual has this authority
i.e. agent runs TV ads noting themselves as a rep of the company
|Apparent Authority
Company creates the impression that a relationship exists with the agent
i.e. agent is supplied with applications, sales materials, etc...
Insurance contracts are considered to be aleatory because the outcome is affected by chance and may be unequal.
a) There is an element of chance for both parties involved in the contract, and
b) The dollar values exchanged may not be equal
Insurance contracts are considered unilateral because only the insurance company (insurer) makes a promise under the contract. The insurer promises to pay a benefit upon the happening of a certain event, such as an auto accident, death, disability, etc... The applicant does not make any promise- they can even elect to stop paying premiums if they desire. The insurer will however have the right to cancel the policy if premiums are neglected to be paid.
Insurance contracts are conditional contracts; whereas, the payment of benefits by the insurance company is conditioned upon the insured or owner paying the premium.
Incontestable Clause
An incontestable clause is an unusual feature sometimes found in life insurance contracts which makes the policy indisputable by the insurer after being enforce for a period of two years or more.
Personal Contracts
Most insurance contacts are personal contracts between the insurance company and the applicant/insured and they are non-transferable. Life insurance contracts are the exception, as they can transfer ownership by was of assignment.
An insurance contract is considered a contract of adhesion because the applicant adheres to the terms of the contract if they want the benefit to remain in effect. The contract is prepared by one party (insurance company) and accepted by the insured. These contracts are not negotiated between the two parties.
Practice Question:
A variable life insurance contract may be characterized as which of the following:
I. Conditional contract
II. Personal contract
III. Aleatory contract
IV. Unilateral contract
A. I and II only
B. I and III only
C. I, III, and IV
D. I. II. III, and IV
Answer: C
Life insurance is not a personal contract because ownership rights can be transferred or assigned to another party at the discretion of the current policy owner.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 2, 2000 Defense Secretary William S. Cohen will meet with NATO defense ministers in Brussels, Belgium, and with Russian officials in Moscow next week.
Cohen begins his trip with the dedication of the National D-Day Museum in New Orleans and ends it following meetings in Moscow June 13.
NATO's Defense Capabilities Initiative will be a prime talking point during his meetings in Brussels, said senior defense officials. The initiative covers such aspects as enhanced mobility, precision engagement and better logistics. NATO leaders signed the initiative in Washington in April 1999.
Officials said the secretary will also discuss the European Security Defense Identity. "The European Union since last December had a so-called 'headline' goal that's compatible with the Defense Capabilities Initiative goal," said the official. "Part of this meeting will be to make sure that NATO and the European Union are coordinating at the ministerial level and to continue this effort."
Cohen and the other defense leaders will also discuss the Balkans and what should be done to further stabilize the countries around the former Yugoslavia.
Officials said the secretary will meet with his Russian counterpart Marshal Igor Sergeyev at least three times -- in Brussels as part of the NATO-Russia Joint Permanent Council, during a bilateral meeting in Brussels, and again in Moscow.
Before going to Moscow, Cohen will participate in the Nordic- Baltic-U.S. defense ministerial in Lithuania. He will also meet with Swedish leaders in Stockholm.
In Moscow, Cohen will discuss arms control, shared early warning, broadening defense cooperation and the cooperative threat reduction program, said officials. Cohen will also discuss Chechnya and terrorism with the Russians.
The visit to Moscow will happen right after President Clinton meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "The secretary will obviously follow up on what happens at the [presidential] summit," said the official. "Should there be any breakthroughs at the summit, the secretary will be in a position to exploit them."

Ashley Ridge freshman Jackson Ellenburg won the 2013 Race for the Ark 5K held in Summerville Saturday.
Ellenburg, 14, crossed the finish line in 16 minutes, 58 seconds to win the race and claim the top overall male award. Pinewood runner Mason Hazel, 17, came in at 17:04 to claim runner-up honors. North Charleston's Marc Embler, 56, placed third with a 17:51 time.
Ellenburg had participated in past ARK 5ks but this is his first year winning the event.
"The course was a bit wet and slick but other than that was fine," he said. "Me and Mason pushed each other the entire time."
Ellenburg's time was 12 seconds faster than his time in a race the week before which was a new personal record for him. Now the all-region athlete will turn his attention to the high school cross country season.
"I'm hoping to break 16:30 this year because our school record is 16:31," he said. "Last year at the region meet our boys kind of fell off but this year we have a very strong team so I think we can win that meet."
Pinewood's Maryah Nasir, 14, finished the Race for the Ark in 19:12 to place seventh overall and claim the top female award. Ann Hampton, 52, of Charleston placed second in the overall female division with a 20:35 time. Rachel Butler, 30, placed third in the division with a 20:38 time.
Approximately 375 runners completed the 14th annual Race for the Ark, despite rain that rolled into the area prior to the race. Results and a list of age-group winners can be found through http://thearkofsc.org/.
Since 1999, hundreds of runners and walkers from the Lowcountry and beyond have come to Summerville to participate in the race and support The ARK, Alzheimer's Family Support Services. The 5K run and walk winds through historic downtown Summerville. Prizes are awarded to the top individual runners for numerous age groups and for team activities such as the Corporate Challenge and Youth Challenge.
The ARK is a local nonsectarian nonprofit outreach program providing comprehensive support services to families dealing with Alzheimer's or related dementia. For more information on The ARK's services, call 832-2357 or visit http://thearkofsc.org/.

Peel Fruit turns iPhone into show-suggesting universal remote
Another day, another iPhone remote control system that turns your Apple smartphone into a universal remote. Hot on the heels of RedEye's offering comes Peel, with a slightly different approach to the hardware/software hybrid setup. As well as the Peel software app, you get a bright yellow IR dongle called the Peel Fruit which hooks up via a ZigBee connection to an ethernet dongle - called the Peel Cable - on your router, and controls your A/V equipment.

Tour ReviewsAverage rating: 5
During this tour , I was shocked on how gorgeous the north shore beaches really are. Of course I have heard of how beautiful they are, but when i got there and really soaked it in, i truly understand why people come to this island and never go home! Sunset beach is just amazing, must be one of the most amazing beaches I have every seen. We had plenty of time to explore each of the beaches on the tour and our guide Dennis was phenomenal , he was so informative and really just a fun guy all around.
Our guide Greg was very personable. I thought that he was so interesting and I loved everything that he had to say. The whole island of Oahu was amazing and everything that I got to see was very beautiful.
Our guide Kanoe was very knowledgeable, very attentive to all of the guests and very efficient. She took good care of all of the people on her bus and she made the day go well and the trip lots of fun.
I loved getting out of the tour bus and being able to see all of the many beautiful sights. The information about the island that was given to us by our guide was absolutely excellent. Overall this tour was excellent and it ended up being one of the best parts of my vacation.
The information that we learned from our tour guide was so interesting. All of the sights that we saw were absolutely beautiful. A big tour bus would have never been able to show us those sights. Kenn had a great storyteller voice which kept our interests. He is obviously well versed in Hawaiian history.
Our guide Pappy had so much knowledge of the area. He even showed us many things that were not highlighted in the promotional material. I appreciated how he clearly explained the time frames and he kept to the schedule.
The personal knowledge that our guide provided made this tour something special. He was great! The little details and facts that we were given on this tour made it so much better.

The treat that awaited me, a trembling custard of sweetened goat cheese anchored to a flaky cookie moistened with macerated berries, made the first breach in my discipline. But it was the ambiance--a stone patio and manicured slope facing westward toward the coast--that caused me to lose all control. Between my comfortably sore legs and happy belly, the warm sun and stunning view, as well as a liberal sampling of the vineyard's wine, I fell into catatonic bliss. Countless riders who had started long before our group lay splayed out all across the grass, victims of a similar sublime inertia.
When I eventually was able to coax myself back onto my bike, I soft-pedaled the next dozen miles to the last rest stop. It was tucked into a shaded vale. The buttery cookies from the first stop reappeared, accompanied by a bracingly fizzy lavender-scented raspberry lemonade. I packed away cookies and drank down several glasses of that refreshing nectar before somehow remounting my bike and, again, soft-pedaling. The last 10 miles, back to town, are a blur in my memory. I'd ridden close to 80 miles. I had ingested far more calories than I could possibly have expended.
Then came dinner. It began with a cocktail hour of drinks--hoppy local beers and wines from the hills we had just navigated--and appetizers passed by bow-tie-clad waitstaff. I went hard with the crostini with pate, the eggplant "caviar," and the goat-cheese custard with butter-braised leeks. The bite-size quiche tarts loaded with bacon inspired my most vigorous effort. I ate all I could find, shamelessly tracking waiters in a hunt for more.
The meal started with a buffet of lightly dressed vegetable salads, hearty grain salads, and fresh-shucked oysters. The plated main course included buttery roast chicken graced with a light pear-based aioli, a simple acid-bright mesclun salad, and creamy vegetable custard. Waiters passed fresh-from-the-fryer pommes Dauphinois, a French classic best described as the world's most perfect tater tot. I ate it all.
Yet, now that I'd given up all struggle and freely succumbed to the gourmand inside me, I discovered to my surprise that the cyclist had not been left behind. I'd begun the day believing that the demands of fine riding and fine dining would prove mutually exclusive, to the point that the pleasures of each would be muted if not erased. But the fine riding and the fine dining, both at their best when indulged with abandon and in the company of others, had enhanced one another. Unlike the sleepy meals following other centuries I've participated in, my table companions were animated, chatty. Like at a wedding, tables were mixed--young and old, fast and slow, friends and strangers--and the room buzzed with energy, stories from the road, laughs, promises to meet again next year. Something about the combination of the communal acts of sharing a meal and riding our bikes had added up to a camaraderie far greater than I've experienced doing either activity separately.
I was full, of food and drink and cycling and life, in a way I'd rarely been. Yet I was already hungry for more.
