A Comparative Analysis of the Effects of Video-Based versus Live Presentation Staff Development on Teachers' Cognitive Learning and Attitudes
Date: December 1995
Creator: Cox, Alan R. (Alan Ray)
Description: The problem of this study was the identification of effective and efficient means of providing quality staff development for reading instruction within a school-district setting. The study investigated the comparative effectiveness of two staff development delivery systems measured by 1) a cognitive test of a school district's reading program and 2) an affective measure of teacher attitudes toward staff development. The sample was drawn from the teacher population of a large urban school district. The 46 subjects were elementary school teachers in grades K-5 randomly divided into two groups: Group A (videotape with a trained on-site facilitator) and Group B (face-to-face live presenter). Participants in the study received training using "The Fort Worth Reading Program," a staff development program designed by the researcher. In addition to the presentation of content information, which is the central component, the program features small group discussions, off-line activities, and question and answer periods. Both groups received the same treatment with the following exception. A central component to the Group A training was the presentation of content information in a videotape format. Group B did not view the videotape, but received the same information via live presenter. Two instruments developed by the researcher were used ...

A Content Analysis of School Reading Textbooks in Taiwan and in Texas
Date: August 1993
Creator: Wang, Sheue-shya
Description: The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the values, beliefs, and ideas in school reading textbooks (Readers) in Taiwan and in Texas. It intended to examine the social control function of school Readers, with which a culture deliberately molds its young generation. This study employed primarily qualitative methods. The collection of data used the technique of content analysis, student surveys, and teacher expert panel discussions. The analysis of data followed a constant comparative approach. The themes shared by the two sets of Readers included family, friends, humans and living creatures, political ideals, reading/writing, appreciation of nature, science, indomitable spirit, turning danger into safety, setting goals, education, desirable and undesirable qualities or behaviors. Despite the similarities of these themes, the substance or focus of them may vary. The themes unique to the Texas Readers were content knowledge, cultural diversity, dilemma and choice, observations about people, words, tomorrow's technology, winning, and general truth. The themes unique to the Taiwan Readers included life philosophy, learning, necessary difficulties, sensitivity, and military strategies. The theme occurring most frequently in both sets of Readers was the desirable qualities or behaviors. The values advocated in the Taiwan Readers were idealistic and had a society-centered ...

Development of a Discouragement Scale for Adults with Normative Data for Gay Males
Date: December 1996
Creator: Chernin, Jeffrey N.
Description: According to Alfred Adler, founder of Individual Psychology, a feeling of inferiority is in some degree common to all people. People who are unable to overcome these inferiority feelings by striving for cooperation may become discouraged. Although there are three scales to measure social interest, no scales measuring discouragement for adults was found. Additionally, Adler held basic assumptions regarding homosexuality, and the findings suggest that the assumptions should be reexamined. The purpose of this study was twofold. First, three University of North Texas candidates developed a discouragement scale for adults 18 years of age and older, known as the Discouragement Scale for Adults (DSA). Discouragement was examined relative to the five life tasks. Second, this candidate normed the instrument for the scores of gay male subjects and compared it to the scores of the other subject groups. Since the emphasis was on developing the instrument and norming it for various subject groups, no hypothesis was developed. Data was collected on three subject groups, known as the general norm subjects, the discouraged subjects, and the gay male subjects. Analyses were performed on the scores. Among the analyses, it was found that gay male subjects were slightly more discouraged than the general ...

The Impact of Student Thinking Journals and Generic Problem Solving Software on Problem Solving Performance and Transfer of Problem Solving Skills
Date: August 1993
Creator: Sullivan, Gary E. (Gary Eugene)
Description: This study examined the effects of specially designed thinking journal activities that have been attributed with encouraging reflective thinking, on instruction using generic, or content-free problem solving software. Sixty-three fourth grade students participated in four instructional sessions using a software package called Moptown Hotel. Students completed separate posttests that measured (1) performance on problems of the same kind as those used in instruction, and (2) transfer of skills to other kinds of problems. Scores of students who wrote thinking journals prior to testing were compared with scores of students who did not. Results indicate that students who wrote thinking journals performed the same as students who did not when tested on problems similar to those practiced in class. Tests in which students transferred their skills to word problems, however, produced significant differences. There was no significant difference between scores when averaged over all four weekly occasions. However, for the final session alone, students who wrote thinking journals scored higher on tests of problem solving transfer than students who did not (p < .01). The study also examined the relationship between the degree of metacognitive thought displayed in students' journal entries, and their measured problem solving ability. Results indicate that students ...

Reactions and Learning as Predictors of Job Performance in a United States Air Force Technical Training Program
Date: December 1999
Creator: Boyd, Steven W.
Description: This study is based on Kirkpatrick's (1996) four level evaluation model. The study assessed the correlation between and among three levels of data that resulted from evaluation processes used in the U.S. Air Force technical training. The three levels of evaluation included trainee reaction (Level 1), test scores (Level 2), and job performance (Level 3). Level 1 data was obtained from the results of a 20 item survey that employed a 5-point Likert scale rating. Written test scores were used for Level 2 data. The Level 3 data was collected from supervisors of new graduates using a 5-point Likert scale survey. The study was conducted on an existing database of Air Force technical training graduates. The subjects were trainees that graduated since the process of collecting and storing Levels 1 and 2 data in computerized database began. All subjects for this study graduated between March 1997 and January 1999. A total of 188 graduates from five Air Force specialties were included. Thirty-four cases were from a single course in the aircrew protection specialty area; 12 were from a single course in the munitions and weapons specialty area; and 142 were from three separate courses in the manned aerospace maintenance specialty ...

Obama and his family�s flight to Africa and Hawaii cost our government $15.8 million. Just think of how much relief � both personal and financial � this $15.8 million would have brought to our wounded warriors and their families.

A powerful typhoon lashed Japan on Monday, leaving two dead and dumping torrential rains, damaging homes and flooding parts of the country's popular tourist destination of Kyoto, where 260,000 people in the city center were ordered to evacuate to shelters.
A powerful typhoon lashed Japan on Monday, leaving two dead and dumping torrential rains, damaging homes and flooding parts of the country's popular tourist destination of Kyoto, where 260,000 people in the city center were ordered to evacuate to shelters.
Typhoon Man-yi, packing wind speeds of 162 kilometers per hour (100 mph) Monday evening, was centered over the city of Miyako, about 550 kilometers (350 miles) north of Tokyo.
Trains in Tokyo and its vicinity were largely suspended and hundreds of flights were grounded.
Dozens of people were injured. Police and disaster management officials said the body of a 72-year-old woman was dug out of the debris of her home, which was smashed by a mudslide the night before in Shiga prefecture, east of Kyoto. A 77-year-old woman was found dead in a mudslide in Fukui prefecture.

The Meteorological Agency said the storm dumped an "unprecedented" amount of rainfall in Kyoto and two neighboring prefectures it passed overnight, dumping as much as 8 centimeters (3 inches) per hour. It lifted a "special warning" for the area Monday but urged residents to stay alert.
In Kyoto, where the city's major Katsura River flooded, some 260,000 people in the prefectural capital alone were told to evacuate. Hundreds of thousands of others were also ordered to evacuate across Japan.
NHK showed tourists in Kyoto being taken to safety on boats towed by rescue workers on a flooded riverside street.
In the nearby town of Fukuchiyama, an aerial view showed a vast area of muddy water swallowing the town, with houses, fields or other structures half-submerged. The town's entire population of more than 81,000 was ordered to evacuate.
The government set up an emergency task force to assess damage and support rescue efforts, said Prime Minister's Office official Hikariko Ono. Kyoto and Shiga prefecture asked the Defense Ministry to mobilize relief teams.
Some 70 people were injured across the country since Sunday, public broadcaster NHK said, citing its own tally. A man was missing after he went to check fish traps in a river in Fukushima prefecture.
More than 300 homes were flooded across western and central Japan, according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency, and about 80,000 houses in the region were without electricity.
As a preventive step, workers at the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, about 250 kilometers (155 miles) northeast of Tokyo, were pumping away rainwater that was pooling around hundreds of storage tanks containing radioactive water.
Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said the rainwater was being released to the ocean and was believed to be untainted. TEPCO said it was pumping away the water to reduce the risk of flooding and potential tank leaks mixing with rainwater, then seeping into the soil or flowing into the sea.
The government's Nuclear Regulation Authority, however, said the pumping and release of the rainwater into the ocean was possibly "an event" subject to reporting under nuclear safety rules. TEPCO said the radioactivity in the released water was within allowed discharge limits, but duty regulators at the plant were checking.
Recent acknowledgements by officials that contaminated water is leaking from the plant have triggered safety concerns.

What would be the best way to use this bag? I'm not a beach goer. Can I use it as an everyday purse?
· Add Your Answer · Votes 0 0 · A shopper on Aug 6, 2014
Best Answer · The bag really is large, so I would say it's too big for a handbag. I use it as a gym bag and it is fantastic for that. I also use it for hauling odds and ends to house-sitting jobs. The straps are long enough and wide enough to carry even slightly heavy loads comfortably.
Yes it can. It is a very large bag. I'm using it as a book bag for school. It can be used for an overnight bag. It's very roomy.

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Erubiel Durazo gave Mark Mulder the offensive
support he needed -- in a big way.
Durazo hit three homers and drove in all five Oakland runs, and
Mulder became the first 16-game winner in the major leagues by
pitching the Athletics to a 5-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles
on Wednesday night.
The A's trailed 4-0 before Durazo hit a pair of two-run homers
off Sidney Ponson. Durazo then connected off B.J. Ryan (3-3) in the
eighth to break the tie and put Mulder in position to win.
"I was just trying to stick around long enough for us to score
a bunch of runs. And Ruby did that for us," Mulder said. "He did
everything today. He was outstanding."
It was only the second home run by a left-handed batter against
Ryan since 2002 and only the seventh hit that Ryan has allowed to a
lefty this season.
"I know he is really tough, so I went out there and just tried
to make contact," Durazo said. "I just feel real good at the
plate and I'm seeing the ball real good."
Durazo singled in his first at-bat and finished 4-for-4,
matching his career high for hits. It was the second three-homer
game of his career, the first coming in 2002 when he played for
The feat tied an Oakland club record set 12 times previously;
the last player to do it was Miguel Tejada, who now plays for the
Orioles. It also was the first time in the 13-year history of
Camden Yards that a player on the visiting team hit three home runs
in a game.
Mulder (16-4) allowed four runs and six hits in eight innings,
but gave up only one single over his final five innings.
"I didn't think Mark had his best command," said Oakland
manager Ken Macha. "That said, after the third inning he pitched
real well."
Octavio Dotel worked the ninth for his 12th save.
The first-place A's completed a three-game sweep and climbed 16
games over .500 (68-52) for the second time this season. Oakland
has won five straight on the road, its longest streak since a
10-game run in 2002.
Down 4-0, the A's got started in the fourth when Scott Hatteberg
drew a leadoff walk and Durazo homered.
The A's wasted Eric Chavez's two-out double in the fifth when
Jermaine Dye was called out on strikes, but Oakland used a familiar
formula to draw even in the sixth. Hatteberg hit a leadoff single
and Durazo drove Ponson's next pitch over the right-field wall for
his 17th homer.
Ponson then gave up two infield hits before ending his stint by
striking out Mark McLemore on his 104th pitch of the night.
Vying to win his sixth straight decision, Ponson gave up four
runs and nine hits in six innings. It was the first time since June
24 that he yielded two homers in a game.
"I didn't have command of any of my pitches," Ponson said.
"It's frustrating. Those guys gave me four runs, we should have
beat this team. But they found a way to beat us."
The credit goes to Durazo, who, according to Ponson, hit a
poorly thrown slider in the fourth and a fastball down the middle
in the sixth.
"He did what he should do, hit a home run," Ponson said. "I
couldn't keep him in the ballpark, and B.J. threw an awesome pitch.
When the guy's locked in, you can't do anything about it."
The Orioles surpassed their run total from the first two games
of the series by scoring two in the second.
Tejada hit a leadoff double and scored on a one-out single by
B.J. Surhoff, who went to second on the throw to the plate. After
Darnell McDonald beat out an infield roller that moved Surhoff to
third, Jay Gibbons drove in a run with a grounder that bounced high
off the plate.
Oakland loaded the bases with two outs in the third before
Ponson retired Dye on a grounder.
Baltimore made it 4-0 in the bottom half. After Tejada singled
in a run for his major league-high 108th RBI, Melvin Mora crossed
the plate before the A's could complete a double play.
Game notes
The start was delayed for 57 minutes by rain. ... Orioles
CF Jerry Hairston will miss the rest of the season after breaking
his ankle Tuesday night. ... The A's activated LHP Arthur Rhodes
from the disabled list and optioned RHP Jairo Garcia to Triple-A

- Better than the competition. Review by Michael Dito
Price Value Quality
I bought the Plano plastic ammo box because it had a metal locking bar, as compared to the plastic locking mechanisms on the other brands. I first saw the Plano boxes when I bought ammo from an on-line seller and the ammo arrived packed in a Plano ammo box. The Plano held the contents easily, and did not flex or bulge under the load when I picked it up and moved it around the house. The handle appears sturdy, and it also did not flex or bend when the loaded box was lifted and moved around.
Also, the Plano boxes stack easily and securely as they have flanges molded-in to the tops and bottoms. These things work, and once stacked, they don't slide around.

I live in a classic turn of the century Cmabridge (MA) three family. The basements here are constructed of a stone foundation (with lime morter)below grade and a double course of brick above grade. The florr is sand
I am renovating and starting literally at the bottom and working my way up. I just poured the new floor slab. I put in an interior perimater drain consisiting of a 4" diameter perforated PVC drain pipe wrapped in filter fabric, embedded in a channel filled with 3/4" stone - this connects to the sump pit. I put a 6 mil vapor barrier down and poured a 4" reinforced concrete slab.
I already realize I made a few mistakes.
1. I should have removed 4" of sand and put the stone down in the entire basement, not just around the edges.
2. I should have put down 1" rigid insulation
3. I should have run the edges of the vapor barrier up the sides of the slab to keep the water from the foundation migrating into the side of the slab.
With this in mind...
I want to finish one part of the basement and make the other part clean storage.
I was thinking of using UGL drylok floor paint, but after reading some documents from BSC I am hesitant to do so as I might just get more water condensing on the floor if the concrete can't absorb the vapor
Should I paint or not?
Second related question is I was going to put up 2x4" wall all around the interior perimiter. I intended on using a sill seal under the 2x4 to isolate it from the slab.
What is the best combination of foam/insulation and memabrane water proofer to insulate the wall? The more I read about moisture, the more I see that using the wrong combinations of products can create micro climates behind walls and cause long term issues.
I found one diagram in a BSC document called "READ THIS before you design, build or renovate" it shows almost what I have on page 14, but I don't have a way to connect wall drainage to the interior drain.

Without seeing your situation, it is hard to make a suggestion. If you have any concerns of moisture, DO NOT trap moisture between your wall. It will become a breading ground for bacteria and mold. I live close to you and have years of experience dealing with basement issues. I'd be happy to visit you if so desired.

Software-based energy savings
Tweaking the right controls lets users fight power hogs on laptops and desktops. Some tips are fairly easy to implement, but for others, you will need to delve more deeply into your system settings. In all cases, the reward for your work will be vastly improved battery life on notebooks and power savings in the long run.
Laptop Mode Tools
Configuration file: /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf
Activity monitor: /proc/sys/vm/laptop-mode (1 = aktiv)
The Laptop Mode Tools are disabled by default on Ubuntu. To enable, change the value false in the ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=false line of the /etc/default/acpi-support file to true. The Powersave daemon provides functionality similar to the Laptop Mode tools on openSUSE.
Display Power Management Signaling is a method of using the graphics card to trigger monitor power state changes with three energy-saving states: Standby, Suspend, and Power off. Both devices need to support this approach.
C States
Sleep or idle states for ACPI-capable processors. Five levels range from C0 to C4. The higher the number, the less power the CPU uses.

A Boulder-based advertising agency had a problem when its employee parking spaces were being usurped. So it responded with charity.
TDA_Boulder began informing parking violators in June that the fee to retrieve an impounded car would be matched by a charitable donation from the agency.
"I'd literally have someone parking in my spot at least once a week," said Jonathan Schoenberg, executive creative director and partner at TDA. "In the grand scheme of things, it's not the end of the world, but it's frustrating when it's an epidemic."
Schoenberg presented the problem to a creative team that came up with the idea to affix the name of one of 12 charities on each of TDA's parking curbs.
The ad agency also put up four wall signs that read: "Parking violators, thank you for your altruism. We are going to tow your car and donate $200 to the charity designated on the parking block."
Blue Sky Bridge — a child-abuse prevention and intervention advocate — has received two donations from the TDA program, said Alli Gerrish, a board member at the nonprofit.
"TDA is our most creative contributor. We love the program and partnering with them," said Gerrish, who added that Blue Sky uses the donated money to fund forensic interviews, crisis-intervention counseling and law enforcement and public training.
In total, the ad agency has donated $1,000 to Blue Sky, the Climate Reality Project, Move and Special Olympics Colorado.
Other charities in TDA's program are the American Cancer Society Inc., the Boulder County AIDS Project, Earth Vision Trust, the March of Dimes Foundation, the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, One Percent for the Planet, There With Care and the YWCA.
Margaret Campbell, a marketing professor at the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado at Boulder, said the positive message associated with the generally negative idea of having one's car towed could behoove TDA.
"It's interesting when our expectations are violated," she said. "There could be a benefit around them turning it into a kind of corporate charity event as opposed to a bummer."
Similarly, she said, "a nonstandard sign like this could actually decrease the incidence of illegal parking by getting people to think about it a little more."
In downtown Boulder, free parking can be scarce, especially when traffic is heavy at the Pearl Street Mall or the semiweekly farmers market.
"Boulder's a pretty tight town for parking, especially when the college kids come back to school," said Rocky Denny, manager of Boulder Valley Towing, which charges $202 when parking violators use TDA's private lot at 1435 Arapahoe Ave. "There's a lot of illegal parking and parking violations."
Prior to the parking program, TDA didn't have the towing company remove cars from the lot. As a result, some employees and clients had to find spots elsewhere.
"Part of it is we're really nice people, so the charity end of things is a way to relieve some of the tension of actually towing somebody," Schoenberg said.

So don't get me wrong, he's a great husband and great guy, but he just isn't as involved in the planning and preparing as I would have thought he would be. This morning while I'm at work our nursery furniture was delivered. Yay! His response was 'I don't think I'll get to it today though' even though he has NOTHING going on until tonight. Why isn't he more excited and having fun with all this stuff like I am? Friends of mine have husbands who bought 'dad' books or have 'dad' apps on their phones, but not mine. Am I being to sensitive? Is it something I'm doing, or not doing? He says he's excited to have a family and I know he means it, but what's up with the actions not matching up with the words? And how come I always have to bring it up instead of him? Just a vent...thanks, I feel better :)
What's up with my husband?
Comments (9)
My hubby hasn't been at all interested until the last couple of days... for some reason, it seems to have hit him we only have three more months, so he's been working on the nursery like a mad man! I thnk it's just certain guys - my DH is a manly man (meaning not the sensitive, crying type, more the cowboy, tough guy act), so showing emotions is just not something he's keen on.
Have you taken your man to the dr appts with you? Maybe schedule an ultrasound and get him to sit down with you and watch him/her move around... I think that's what got DH into the whole baby mode ;-) However, if he's like my man, he's never going to start gushing to people about his baby - just not who he is...
Good luck!
Married DH 6/18/2005

My DH is the same way. He is very excited about the baby but is not involved in any of the planning, gift registry, nursery decoration etc. But I have heard from a lot of friends that they chnage completely the second they hold the baby. So don't worry, I am sure our husbands will be more excited than us once they see the baby.
Expecting on 12/03/2012
Same with my DH.
He is super excited about hearing the heartbeat and about becoming a father in general but he just doesn't get excited at all about shopping or preparing the nursery. It's almost like he likes the IDEA of becoming a dad but doesn't really want to get into the nitty gritty details of what that entails.
He keeps telling me he can't wait to cuddle with the LO or nap in the same room (for some reason it's his fantasy of being a dad :eyeroll:). But he doesn't get that most of life will be changing diapers, washing clothes and bottles, feeding and trying to stay awake when the baby is crying and won't sleep.
He also for some reason says that I am being unrealistic when I say I want to splurge on some items that we will use for a long time such as the carrier or stroller and I am talking Beco Gemini and a $150 stroller; not Maclaren or anything! To me it's incongruous that he is so happy to become a dad but so not happy about spending the time and money to get things set up.
I think, on the whole, women get more into the 'nesting' aspect of baby prep more than guys do. We want to get everything set up and ready and perfect, we want to get all the supplies in a row. We're also the ones who have the more immediate connection to the baby, so it's a lot more real to us...we're the ones getting kicked, bladder-squished, and all the fun symptoms, after all! We KNOW this baby is coming.
My husband is crazy excited about the baby. He falls asleep every night with his hand on my belly, he talks to her, he talks about her all the time. But he's also a lot less concerned about putting off getting the nursery ready until the last month or so of the pregnancy, and I was pretty much on my own as far as the registry went.
Someone once told me (long before we were expecting) that a mom becomes a mommy the minute she finds out she is expecting a dad becomes a daddy when he meets the baby for the first time. I think it is so hard for men to understand because they don't get to experience all that we do. My hubby was SO excited in the beginning...downloaded baby apps and super excited about name selection, etc. but as we have progressed, his excitement has subsided. I did all the registering and decorated the nursery by myself. But, he loves to go to book stores and pick out books for the baby. I know he is excited for the baby to be here and that he will be such a great daddy, I just am not sure they understand before the baby is here.
I have to agree with the person that suggested keeping him up to date on what's going on with the baby. My husband loves knowing when our LO is blooping, what the doctor says, any random aches, pains, and sensations I'm having when I'm having them...it makes him feel really involved and a part of the process. I told him that she can hear now so he cuddled up with my belly before we fell asleep last night and talked to her while I told him when she blooped in response and where the blooping was. He's been really good about the whole thing (he even has his version of nesting; he'll role his eyes when you peg him with it, but it's true), but I think any husband would appreciate knowing about all that stuff even if he won't admit it.
Renee (27) Tim (30) Married 8/11/07
Enide 12/28/12
My husband is the same way, he's telling all his friends that he's going to be a dad and he's been coming with me to my ultra sound appointments. He can't stop talking about the future and I know he is crazy excited. BUT, he didn't want to go with me to Babies R Us to register (I went with my sister), he's not excited about decorating the nursery, he's not too enthused about the baby shower (my sister is hosting it but it will be in our home and co-ed), etc.
I'm giving him a pass because he is the nervous type and I don't want to overwhelm him. I'd like him to be more "into" it like I am, but I know he is in his own way.
he has his own way of showing it although its nothing what i expected. He's somewhat like my dad....Smh lol
But everyday i wake up touch my belly an smile!!
Smile mommys to be!!

Take fantastic creative photos in low-light
How to stretch your creativity further on a low-light shoot
The trick with flash photography at night is to make it look as much like a natural light source as possible. You might want to consider using warming gels and shooting in RAW as well, just in case you need to do some tweaking later on. But by following this guide you'll be on your way to learning how to take some decent low-light snaps and giving them some atmosphere.
A hint of flash
The key with flash photography at night is to try and make it look as natural as an artificial light source can. Switching your flash to the slow-sync setting will enable the ambient light to register on the CCD and blend in the flash accordingly.
If you're shooting in an environment mostly lit by tungsten or fire, you might consider placing a warming gel over the flash, so that its burst of light blends with the scene. Sheets of colour adjustment filters are made by Lee Colour Magic in a variety of strengths (available from www.speedgraphic.co.uk).
You can always shoot a single RAW file, then save it out with a different white balance setting and then blend them together, but save yourself time and do it in the field.
The best slow sync shots work when there's colour and brightness in the background and the subject's silhouetted. Take an exposure reading from the background using centre-weighted or spot metering and lock that reading in. Add a little underexposure to saturate the colours if you prefer. The flash will then take care of the exposure of the main subject, with any movement being rendered as a blur.
If the sky lacks punch, change the white balance setting to Cloudy or Shade – either in-camera or later when you're converting your RAW files.
You can't beat a good silhouette at this time of year. Crisp, clear days are often followed by dusk skies ablaze with colour. To make the most of this richness, look for a clearly de?ned subject to place in front of it.
Take a meter reading from an area of the sky that's not too bright or dark, lock the exposure in and recompose to include the subject. It'll be rendered as a silhouette against a saturated sky.
Don't worry about clipped shadows on the exposure histogram – you don't want to record detail in the subject.
Try to capture the mood and soul of a place at night, as well as the most attractively lit buildings. Keep an eye out for interesting shadows, contrasts, shape and that old favourite, urban decay. Make sure you have someone to keep an eye on your gear though.

Hi. Thanks for putting all this great info together. Nice to have such a great resource. I went through many of the articles, and have come back from time to time. Its nice to see that y'all have opened up the Discussions after a long pause.
While some of the topics might be similar for all kids, I strongly believe that once a child has been stereotyped by others, it sticks. For a mother like me with an Only, it then becomes my unwelcome burden to dispel these idiotic stereotypes. My toddler is one of the most sharing and giving child, and the evidence is quite clear when we have these huge family gatherings.
Christmas is an eye-opener. All the screaming and fighting My little girl has this baffled look on her face when she sees kids fighting over toys
Thanks you for being supportive!!! And bringing back my sanity (after the medical issues I had to go through and then give up and settling for just one).
PaulineM of CreekView
Yeah Cassy, my feelings echo yours! \o/
And thanks for giving me the kindle book Because I am the only child. Love the story, and the illustrations are so cute, my Lilly was in giggles 8-D. I'll put up the review soon.
Can I please have the Kindle book?
I love this site, and am a mother of an only child, girl, soon of be 5 years old. We live in rural Kansas, and you can imagine how hard it is meeting other parents of onlies. I looked at a few pages of the books by Loretta Campbell, and they look fantastic…eager to read it to my princess. You can Email the gift code to me, and I will get started on writing a review.
Hi All visitors to the Only Child Project.
Those of you who have requested for the free book offer in order to post a review, please note that the Amazon Gift Code will be sent a day after your request.
Hope all of you had a great Xmas, and Wishing you and your Only Child a Happy New Year!!!!
elita little
yep, finally, someone wants the opinion of the children themselves instead of focussing on parents of onlies.
It is a miserable life, I can tell you. Not all the fun and roses this site, or any other only child site or resource or counsellor makes it out to be.
I am 61, wife died a few years back. Never had children, not choice, but medical reasons. Its lonely as hell. I am well off, the wife had inherited quite a bit, and we were careful with money but lived well. My health is amazing, so I guess I'll live for a few decades more – unless of course cancer gets me first like it did her. But there's more to life than just living. I have no siblings, cousins that I have not seen in several decades. My parents were the most fantastic ones any one could have. I miss them to this day. I know mother couldn't have more for medical reasons, but I just wish I wasn't an only. People complain about siblings not getting along, but at least there is someone to fight with!!! On the plus side, the most wonderful childhood, good married life.
I hope people talk to other only children before they make up their minds about having an Only child. Don't just talk to other parents, or Wikipedia, or shrinks.
Awesome video!
never realized the other viewpoint!!
Very nice site! cheap goods
I have an only child and have felt pressure by lots of people around me asking when I will give up and have another. I, too, would love the book gift code in exchange for an Amazon review, but also for my son!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: werty
Portal network Lycos Europe said yesterday that it would expand its agreement with paid search provider Overture Services, despite the ongoing legal fight between Lycos Inc. and Overture in the U.S.
The multi-year deal builds on the companies' 18-month-old agreement to display Overture paid listings on Lycos Europe sites in the United Kingdom, Germany and France. They subsequently expanded the deal to include seven of the 11 Lycos Europe country portals.
Overture listings will appear on Lycos sites in Sweden and Denmark on Jan. 1. Overture operates in 11 markets worldwide. It plans to add Australia in early 2004.

Get Those Music And Videos Available on Your Android Phones
By Kyle Daniels
On Wednesday, January 28, 2015
Youtube has now become one of the most visited social media sites all over the world because of its accessibility and kind of entertainment that it gives to its audience. But what I find very inaccessible is when I can not save the music or video that I really love and would love to listen to or watch all over again and even share to my friends to my computer.
Luckily I found Freemake YouTube MP3 Converter. Aside from its being a freeware, expect that you will not see any kind of ads while using this application. There is no subscription needed so it makes it more accessible to everyone. This tool's main job is to give comfort to its users in providing them choices to convert their desired videos from Youtube to MP3,AVI and WMV among others. In short, this tool gives its users the freedom to transfer videos from Youtube to their computer. I really love this app because since I got to know this tool, I was able to save media files to my android phone. I have also observed that this freeware really provides high quality music when converted.
I find this freeware an impressive one because it is fast, easy to use and provides users the comfort no other freeware can give.
- The freeware is easy to use
- There are no ads in the freeware
- Conversion sometimes has a delay

more compact unit. Takes up less space (no mash container). I can also keep the mash on temp
then mash out ...

Over the course of history, various groups of people have been taunted or shunned because of birth defects or genetic abnormalities. One such group is albinos, who are born with a melanin defect, resulting in the loss of pigment in the skin, eyes and hair, causing vision problems, and making them susceptible to various skin cancers.
In 2009, Brazilian photographer Gustavo Lacerda began a series focused on albinos who live in his homeland. His first hurdle was to gain their confidence, as most of the people he approached were accustomed to the harsh scrutiny of outsiders. Once trust was established, Lacerda invited them into his studio where he used classic portrait lighting to create an atmosphere of calmness, allowing each person the comfort needed to reveal their personalities.
The resulting photographs show a group of people comfortable within their own skin, and with each other. From two-year-old twins, to three siblings, to a girl scout, Lacerda posed people against soft backdrops that compliment their skin tonality, letting the viewer focus on the gesture and pose. These are quiet images about a group of people often ostracized by society. Through Lacerda's work, we are introduced to the beauty, fragility and complications of albinism, and the people living with it, who are frequently marginalized and misunderstood.
Gustavo Lacerda works and lives Sao Paulo. His series, Albinos, has received critical praise and was recently featured on Huffington Post and Wonderland Magazine and is included in the Musée du Quai Branly Collection (Paris, France) and the Sao Paulo Museum of Art (Sao Paulo, Brazil). A monograph on Albinos is in production, and will be released at the end of 2013 by Editora Estudio Madalena.

In today's business environment, team leaders in companies large and small the world over are under intense pressure from senior management to justify any expenditure related to hiring staff. Finance professionals may still enjoy greater demand for their skills than those in other disciplines – but with revenues falling, margins being squeezed, and more people coming on to the jobs market, those who make recruitment decisions are in a strong position to raise the bar when screening candidates.
The simple things
How you convey your credentials and enthusiasm in your application is a good place to start. When sifting through hundreds of CVs, it's far easier to find reasons to eliminate candidates than to grant them interviews. Spelling mistakes, poor grammar, and lack of clarity and meaning will conspire to reward your application with instant rejection; no employer wants to have to train someone in such fundamentals. So, if your written communication skills are weak, start practising to improve now. There are plenty of resources on the internet that will help – from the web pages of online versions of quality newspapers through to free exercises and quizzes.
Make every experience count
If you're fortunate enough to have landed a finance job while you're studying, then that's great – not only will your experience help with your understanding of the syllabus, you'll be building on your appeal to employers with each new task you take on.
But what if your work experience is confined to non-finance jobs, such as in a shop, restaurant or bar – or if you've only ever carried out voluntary work? The good news is that you're likely to still have much to offer employers. The secret is to think about the aptitudes required in finance work and consider how your experience (even if your duties differ considerably from those of an accountant) might have prepared you well. Working in teams, handling money, managing time, dealing with customers, and coaching new or less experienced colleagues – those are skills that can be developed in many of the most basic part-time jobs. And by articulating those transferable skills, you'll not only be more convincing as a candidate, you'll be demonstrating the capacity to think laterally and make a business case – qualities vital in the finance leaders of tomorrow.
Finally, make full use of one-off opportunities to enhance your appeal to employers. Attend networking events. Register for free interview, CV, and presentation workshops staged by recruitment agencies and ACCA Careers. Apply for employer mentoring programmes. And keep mining the internet – if for no other reason than to keep reminding yourself of just how important employability is in what has become a fiercely competitive jobs market.

Becoming familiar with VM-aware storage
As with any product still in its infancy, an exact definition for virtual machine-aware storage can be difficult to nail down. In simple terms, VM-aware storage is an appliance that vendors build specifically with virtual machines in mind in order to cut back on some of the most pertinent issues in virtual environments: complexity, difficult management and lagging performance.
Using VM-aware storage typically means there's no need to configure logical unit numbers and volumes, and because VMs are directly associated with the storage they reside on, priority can be given to more demanding apps and VMs can be granularly managed. This guide will walk you through what products classify as VM-aware storage, how they are implemented in virtual environments and what benefits they can bring to storage and virtualization administrators so you can make an informed decision about whether they're the right choice.Continue Reading

the rich suing the next of kin of the relatively poorer victim. ?
That bike has a gas engine and no lights. The incident happened at 1:30 AM. I'm thinking this is a story that has 2 sides.
My greatest fear is all of my kids standing around my coffin and talking about "how sensible" dad was.
This 'accident' happened in October 2012. It is newsworthy again today because of the lawsuit. Just do a Google search of this incident to get many more write-ups and additional information. I read at least six different print stories, and each was slightly different in what they 'reported'.
That YouTube video was the only one that mentioned that she was being followed home by her policeman husband. Other stories called her 'mother of three' and Miss, and no mention of a husband, or his career.
Was she out somewhere and tipped back a few? Who knows since she was not administered a breathalyzer, and was driven home after the incident. (CYA?) You'd have to have witnesses to say 'she was at O'Malleys until 1pm' to throw suspicion on her character and testimony.
The pic of the kid on the motorized bike is just a pic. It does NOT say that this was the bike he was riding at the time of the incident.
I'd have to have more information, but I'd still have to say that her suit is baseless. She did hit them from behind. She should have been found 'at fault'. If she had hit a deer, would she be as 'traumatized'? Who would she be suing? Suing the city/township? For what? a burned-out streetlight? More info is needed.

text: The Continuing Crisis The Continuing Crisis By R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. – From the November 2013 issue September transforms itself into October and hesto presto the federal government closed down, or rather parts of the federal government closed down: the parks, the monuments, the beaches, the pop stand across from the White House, but not the White House itself or the Congress. The expiry of those last two branches of government, particularly the former, was what we Americans have been counting on. In the White House the chief executive officer is promising not to negotiate with the House of Representatives until it agrees to fund his legacy, Obamacare. So he has put the foreign policy of the United States in the steady hands of the KGB. He has called off his promise to bomb Syria after his secretary of state, the nugacious Mr. Jean-François Kerry, promised the bombing would be an "unbelievably small, limited kind of thing." Then on October 3, a mentally ill woman drove her car into a White House barricade and proceeded down Pennsylvania Avenue, creating havoc until her car was surrounded and she died in a fusillade of police fire.Thank you for your interest in this article.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says Washington state's new gay marriage law is not the final word in the debate.
Santorum said Monday that he is encouraging opponents of same-sex marriage to continue to fight. He held a private meeting in Olympia with a group of gay marriage opponents who are now exploring a referendum to block the new law.
The former Pennsylvania senator's visit to the state capital came within an hour of Gov. Chris Gregoire signing the gay marriage bill. Santorum said the law waters down marriage at a time when divorce rates are already up. He says the consequences of failing to have strong traditional marriages include more people going to prison, more dropouts from school, higher poverty rates and higher government spending.
