Despite the widespread use of social media by students and its increased use by instructors, very little empirical evidence is available concerning the impact of social media use on student learning and engagement. This paper describes our semester-long experimental study to determine if using Twitter – the microblogging and social networking platform most amenable to ongoing, public dialogue – for educationally relevant purposes can impact college student engagement and grades. A total of 125 students taking a first year seminar course for pre-health professional majors participated in this study (70 in the experimental group and 55 in the control group). With the experimental group, Twitter was used for various types of academic and co-curricular discussions. Engagement was quantified by using a 19-item scale based on the National Survey of Student Engagement. To assess differences in engagement and grades, we used mixed effects analysis of variance (ANOVA) models, with class sections nested within treatment groups. We also conducted content analyses of samples of Twitter exchanges. The ANOVA results showed that the experimental group had a significantly greater increase in engagement than the control group, as well as higher semester grade point averages. Analyses of Twitter communications showed that students and faculty were both highly engaged in the learning process in ways that transcended traditional classroom activities. This study provides experimental evidence that Twitter can be used as an educational tool to help engage students and to mobilize faculty into a more active and participatory role.

About HOPE DRCHOPE International has been providing small business loans and savings services to thousands of entrepreneurs in DRC since 2004. HOPE DRC targets small business owners who can use loans to increase their inventories or invest in assets that have the potential to increase their incomes. Funds from Kiva lenders play a major role in expanding access to affordable, flexible capital for micro-entrepreneurs, 80% of whom are women.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Microfiber bedding is not only affordable but also convenient! Microfiber threads are extremely fine, offering you an incredible softness and comfort. Generally made from polyester - microfiber is stain resistant, durable, colorfast, quick to dry, will not shrink and resists wrinkles. In addition to premium quality, microfiber bedding is an affordable alternative to cotton. Microfiber bedding is not measured by thread count, but instead by GSM weight (grams per square meter) - the higher GSM weight, the thicker the fabric will be. Dress your bed in style, comfort and quality with microfiber bedding!
PLEASE NOTE: We make every effort to ensure colors are represented accurately online. Due to possible variances in manufacturer dye lots, however, colors may vary slightly from what is depicted.
Sheets can be made from many different fabrications. Various fibers and weaves are ultimately responsible for the particular performance characteristics of a sheet set.
Microfiber: Microfibers are tiny synthetic fibers. They measure less than one denier in size. They are one of the most commonly used fabrics in the upholstery industry; this is because of their ability to repel moisture and their strength and durability against wear and tear. This fabric can be used to make woven, non-woven and knitted textiles. Microfibers are also very soft to the touch, so they are great in water repellent clothing.

Do you hang up lights for the holidays? I love driving through the neighborhood and seeing all the lights and Christmas displays. There is just something about lights at night that brings a sense of awe and wonder for me.
This year I wanted to add a little twist to the regular old lighting display so I decided to write a message to everyone that passes by.
Materials Needed:
Writing instrument (I used some dry erase crayons)
String of lights (I used 2 strings)
3M Cord Organization Clips (Appr 9 packages of the 4 packs) Command™ Brand
First things first. You will want to clean and prep the vinyl fence area you will be using. Follow all package instructions for this.
Take a ruler and a writing instrument and draw an outline of what you want to spell out with your lights. You could even do a simple picture.
I used a dry erase crayon that came off pretty easy. You will also want to use your ruler to make sure your letters are evenly spaced and that the height of each letter is even as well.
Place your first 3M Cord Organization clip at the top and start stringing the lights. I started draping the lights the way I wanted the letters to look and would place a cord organizer clip where the light cords would need to be most secure.
Once you have finished a letter, use a cord keeper to move you to the next letter. If you get to the end of a string of lights you can tuck any extra cord into the cord organizers for out of the way keeping.
Once you get to the end of your word connect to a power source and plug it in so you can see how it all looks. I made some adjustments to my letters if something looked off to me.
I also wanted to make sure the top of my fence was nicely lit so I added the cord clips there as well.
I should mention that the adhesive is strong enough for outdoor use, so get your ideas flowing!
Wait until it starts to get dark and turn the lights on for others to enjoy!

You're admitting it, which means you know it and you're dealing with it.
All the best Windy.
"It is not the critic who counts."
I'm glad you were able to recognize it and be treated for it. Hopefully you and your doctors will continue to treat it effectively and you can have a long, fulfilling life.
Life... is a state of mind.
I don't really think too much about treatment, as I don't know the details. It's hard to imagine that someone with so much success could still be depressed... but that's exactly what depression is, the complete removal from reality. Assuming it was a suicide, it is evident that he could not see how loved and respected he is by so many. He could not see his own accomplishments. I hope that those who don't suffer from depression can really take a step back and think about that. Those of us who are clinically depressed are often not in our right-mind.
I also suffer but have learned to deal with it... at one point I decided no more meds. But I had to make a deal with myself (and the doctor)... I have to stay "engaged" with others. Even if that means just checking in and posting on a forum...thankfully I have told friends and family and if I shut down and get "quiet" they check in on me... thankfully they love me enough they won't let me drown in my sorrows but they make me "snap out of it"... honestly bike riding helps...ALOT. I can get out and feel a part of a community; I belong and I matter. So do you...

ty for ya advice everyone. i beeen staying in bed but im up now im going to try to kayak
I Got out of the country (on a couple Bike tours) and talked to people, there, and found where I lived, the USA, was a lot of the problem ..
BTW , in LA they just call it "the Business" .. it gives some and takes a lot.
You have my utmost respect for admitting the problem here. Don't feel alone...everybody's got SOMETHING to deal with. I hope this can be part of your answer.
Also, if you can't do something good anymore, don't be afraid to pick up something new. After my second stroke at 24, I couldn't draw half as good as I used to be. I then found DJ'ing and A/V production. Until I was good enough to ride a bike again, I had that going for me. I got to DJ in Pittsburgh, NYC, Baltimore, and Chicago because I didn't have a 9-5 job or anything holding me back. I still can't draw as good as I was, but my experiences led me to re-route and evolve the artistic skills that I do have. Don't ever get discouraged about something you can't do well. Let it be a stepping stone towards something better and don't look back.
Dont ever move to the Pacific Northwest if you suffer from clinical Depression cause when the clouds come back in October it means business. I've been here over 30 years and I still get scared of our winters. ( No money to leave)
^ i feel the same way about summers in the south. and that's why i moved to seattle.
i wouldn't say robin lost any 'battle.' he crushed it most his life.
we're all gonna die.
had he lived another ten years and lost control one day while riding, i hope none of you would say, "he lost the battle." lame.
I'm glad to hear you're dealing well with it.
I had serious depression when I attempted to finish my college degree after taking a break. All's I can say is my now-wife then-girlfriend was a big reason I got through it. That and some anti-depressants to bring me back to a little bit of reality.

Trust me, makes a HUGE difference combating SAD!
Seasonal Affective Disorder
Williams was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's, wasen't he? The thought of succumbing to such a degenerative illness may have simply been too much.
I think it was a compound of several things. Williams was going through divorce number 3, his most recent TV show was just canceled after the first season, and he was diagnosed with Parkinson. That's a tough run of luck.
I've worked with alcoholics who also have mental illness. I make sure they have a phone and I match them up with two other people. Each morning they call each other to check that they have taken their meds and if it appears that the person is isolating, we will arrange a visit.
Seems to work out very well.
I just spent 3 days in San Diego/ Tijuana. Maybe too much sunshine is possible. It just beats down on you all day, I think the Seattle half sun half clouds aint that bad.

Summit Entertainment has released the first images of X-Men: First Class star Nicholas Hoult as a zombie named R in Warm Bodies, director Jonathan Levine's adaptation of author Isaac Marion's 2011 romantic thriller.
Hoult, 22, plays a typical undead being who, upon eating the brain of a deceased young man, suddenly falls madly in love with the corpse's living girlfriend (played by Teresa Palmer of The Sorcerer's Apprentice and I Am Number Four). Their unlikely relationship kicks off a chain reaction that will transform him, his fellow zombies and possibly their post-apocalyptic world.
"By any standards, Nicholas is pretty fantastic," Levine tells USA Today, where two of the images premiered. "He's definitely the Brad Pitt of the zombie world. We wanted to stay true to the zombie tradition and yet make a believable romantic interest."
Warm Bodies opens Aug. 10.
I'm sure some will dismiss this as Twilight with zombies, but damn, this book was one of the best I've read in a good while. A truly original take on an overdone genre, with some laugh out loud bits. Plus I love Nicholas Hoult. Yeah, they might be aiming at the Twilight market with the movie, but if done right it may turn a few of the mindless hordes into real movie fans. Here's hoping they don't mess it up.
Zombies eat people.

History - Past and Present…
Trojan Health Volunteers was established in 1985 by USC student, Daniel Potter, who recognized the need for pre-health students to gain exposure to their future occupations outside of their classroom experience. He contacted hospitals all over Los Angeles and ran this program out of his dorm room. When he graduated in 1987, he handed the program over to the Joint Educational Project to administer.
Since its inception, Trojan Health Volunteers has grown at an accelerated rate. Each semester, roughly up to 120 pre-health students participate in THV. Currently, the program partners with eleven different hospitals and clinics in the greater Los Angeles area. These range from large health sites like Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to St John's, a neighborhood clinic a few blocks away from USC's main campus.
Trojan Health Volunteers is not only a community outreach program, but it also strives to be a forum for discussion about current bioethics topics and related healthcare issues. Every student participating in THV completes several papers ranging from on-site reflections to research topics, and attends group discussions . While the discussion sessions are held very informally, participation is required.
A full-time staff member supervises two part-time undergraduates - the program director and assistant director. These students recruit, train, monitor students and develop/maintain relationships with partnering hospitals/clinics.

Below is a link to our blog that provides feedback and advice from current and previous THV volunteers about each health site. Use it to help decide which site might be the best match for you! http://uscthv.wordpress.com/

In May 2008, the Blended Fam hopped an 18 hour flight to South Africa. They encountered much of the local flora and fauna (lions, ellies and hippos, to name a few), consumed too much of the regional barbeque (impala & warthog) and even felt the spray of one of the wonders of the world (more like soaked by its torrential downpour).
This journal of their trip includes photos from Zulu-Nyala, Phinda, HluHluwe/Umfolozi, St. Lucia Wetlands Park, and Endoneni Reserve in and near KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

Have you ever walked into a class, sat down, got all of your stuff ready, waited patiently until class began, watched as a host of eager minds filters through the door, and eagerly anticipated the beginning to a new educational experience? And then as everyone else has gotten ready and the professor walks in and says, "I hope you're all here for Astrophysics 498". Suddenly, you realize that you not in the right place and then follows the attempted graceful, but in all actuality awkward, departure in search of where you do belong.
Well if you've made it here chances are, you do belong. How do you know? See if you fit the bill for a progressive and innovative educator…
Are you creative and like to engage all senses in the learning experience?
Do you bring excitement and enthusiasm to your work?
Are you a charismatic and strong leader?
Do you want to reach out and educate others in a way which transforms the way they think about learning?
Are you the teacher, therapist, consultant, trainer, professor, or business owner who gets others excited about meeting their personal goals as well as community goals?
Do you seek out those that do not learn in traditional ways and encourage them to succeed through your use of fully engaging techniques?
If you said yes to most of these questions, then you, my friend, are in the right place, at least philisophically. The Association for Experiential Education seeks to make "a more just and compassionate world by transforming education". And with your contributions, you too are part of that vision.

NORTH BAY -- This year marks a time of relative stability after a long period of tenuous wrangling over federal estate tax policy, following Congress's decision in January to extend a temporary and historically large exemption for estate and gift taxes, said North Bay experts in estate and succession planning.
[caption id="attachment_80575" align="alignright" width="389"] Joseph Kitts, Jay Silverstein, Ron Wargo[/caption]
While many taxes did increase following the so-called "fiscal cliff" in early 2013, financial planners pointed to the preservation of the exemption as having a significant impact for the long-term tax strategy of business owners and high-net-worth families into the foreseeable future.
"It's probably safe to assume that it will be in place for the next few years, without the fear of 'use it or lose it.' Congress has other battles to fight," said Joseph Kitts, tax partner at the Santa Rosa office of BPM -- Accountants and Consultants. "That's what made estate planning so difficult for the past 10 years -- that the rules for estate planning were so much in flux."
It was in January that congressional debate over the fiscal cliff reached a climax, with the signing of the American Taxpayer Relief Act giving financial planners clarity as to which tax breaks -- many originally intended to be temporary -- would remain intact.
High on the list of provisions expected to be affected was the linked exemption for estate and gift tax. The heightened provision of more than $5 million for individuals and $10 million for couples had been a boon for estate and succession planning since going into effect as part of broader economic stimulus in 2010, making it easier to pass on a business or a wealthy estate without a significant estate tax burden.
Closely-held wine industry companies and other ventures with high-value assets have been able to benefit directly from the exemption. But the amounts also create a cushion for appreciation of ownership assets in the future, a notable benefit as an improving economy helps push business valuations upward.
Financial planners had advised clients that the provision could be significantly reduced in 2013, down to the previous $3.5 million or even the traditional $1 million exemption for individuals as Congress looked to reel back some of the breaks it extended to taxpayers over the past few years. Many individuals hurried to pass on their businesses and estates before the anticipated deadline, generating a huge flow of demand for estate planning groups working to finalize plans before the end of 2012.
Yet in what many said was a surprising turn, Congress chose to continue the exemption essentially as-is, along with a handful of other provisions meant to stimulate investment by business owners.

Anxiety Rating Test Results: 41 - 60 : MODERATE
This score indicates that your anxiety level is moderately elevated above the normal range: MODERATE anxiety issues.
People who consistently score in this range are considered to have issues with anxiety (when anxiety and its consequences interfere with a normal lifestyle). At the very least, you should seek good self-help information as soon as possible so that you can prevent your anxiety from becoming even more of an issue.
While good self-help information at this stage can prove helpful, working with an experienced anxiety disorder coach/therapist is the most effective way to overcome problematic anxiety. Doing this work now can prevent anxiety from becoming even more of an issue.
NOTE: This quiz is intended for informational purposes only. It is NOT intended to replace professional assessment.
Take another anxiety test.
Or, visit our anxiety symptoms page for information and explanations about over 100 common symptoms of anxiety.
The combination of good self-help information and working with an experienced anxiety disorder therapist, coach, or counselor is the most effective way to overcome anxiety and its many symptoms. Until the core causes of anxiety are addressed - we call these core causes the underlying factors of anxiety - a struggle with anxiety unwellness can return again and again. Dealing with the underlying factors of anxiety is the best way to eliminate problematic anxiety and its symptoms once and for all.

Rumor: Apple Pay to enter Canadian market in March
Date: Friday, January 9th, 2015, 11:47
Category: Finance, Rumor
Apple Pay could be headed north within a few months.
Per 9to5Mac, Apple is preparing to expand its new Apple Pay payments service internationally with at least the Canadian launch currently scheduled for early 2015, according to sources close to the story.
Sources say partners are currently in negotiations with Apple regarding the launch scheduled to come sometime in the first half of this year. Apple and Canadian launch partners are in the process of planning advertising and other promotional material for March, which indicates that the launch could come as soon as then. Of course, these are still active discussions and it's possible the talks could fail to result in a launch by March. Several sources, however, say that Apple is currently targeting that timeframe.

Annmarie Richards saw a need, and she did something about it. Instead of walking past homeless children on Jamaica's streets like so many others, Richards decided to bring them home. Twenty-three of them so far, to be exact. Not only did she invite these kids into her home, she did it without question; feeding them, clothing them, and sending them to school.
Why does she do it? Simply for the joy of hearing that they are successful later in life. What a truly amazing woman! Please SHARE her story!

Actor Kunal Thakkur who was last seen in Imagine's Bandini and recently seen in Himesh Reshammiya's Expose is all set to return to television with an episodic. The talented actor will soon be seen in Sony TV's crime thriller episodic series CID.
Our source informed us, "The upcoming episode of CID has been inspired from Rishi Kapoor's Khoj wherein a person's wife gets kidnapped and some other girl comes and claims to be his wife. Kunal has been roped in to play the husband in the episodic. Later, he calls the CID to search for his missing wife."
When contacted Kunal, he confirmed the news saying, "It's
great to be back to television after a long time. Television is really hectic as

doing television. I am enjoying playing this character as it has lots of scope
to perform and lot to emote. The team of CID is very good to
get along with."

It was a foggy evening and The Mane Cast, led by Twilight Sparkle, were searching for Voidspace Army troops when all of a sudden Queen Chrysalis appears out of the fog. "Well hello there" said Chrysalis. "Chrysalis!" said Twilight in an angry voice. "I've come to take down this Supetastic 6 Unlimited I've heard so much about and rule the entire multiverse, and there's nothing you can do to stop me" said Chrysalis before giving out an evil laugh. "Oh yeah, you and what army?!" said Rainbow Dash. Then out of nowhere a sound appears, Yee! Yee! said the sound. Then out of the fog came a hoard of Shocker Combatmen, then another hoard appeared, it was Gormin, troops of the Space Empire Zangyack. "And there's plenty more where that came from" said Chrysalis. All hope seem lost, that is until four beings appear out of the nowhere, it was Kamen Rider Fourze and the Go-Busters. Fourze and the Go-Busters the battled the Shocker Combatmen and Gormin, The Mane Cast joins them. In a minute or two Chrysalis' newly formed army was defeated. "You may have won this time, but you have yet to defeat "Zan-Shocker" said Chrysalis as she and her army ran off. "We've got to warn Supetastic 6 Unlimited" "And we've got to warn All Riders and Super Sentai" said Fourze in Japanese (the rest of the english speaking cast can understand him). To be continued...

One Shoulder Bridesmaid Dresses
Each and every type of evening dress has its own charm and suits to a specific silhouette type. And for sure that the aim being to bring in the front line the best cards the challenge comes along with the fine taste and sense about knowing what to choose in order to hide different parts and make it as an overall gorgeous look.
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
Especially when it comes about a major event the outfit problem becomes a desperately need of finding something original as pattern and at the same time something stylish for you. And in case of a wedding, in case of being in a bridesmaid posture another aspect interferes: the outfit is either chosen by the bride, as it is something imposed and undoubtedly inspired from the wedding theme. Not only to choose something but to be in the same consent with the event. Today's proposal is the one shoulders bridesmaid dress.
To start with, the one shoulder dress type definition is about the asymmetric cut of the dress at the top part of it. It has just one shoulder covered or with a single strap added in order to create a different view than a common one.
In what cases should one consider the one shoulder bridesmaid dress type as an option for its maids of honors at the wedding? I believe that firstly it counts the wedding style, then the bridesmaids' personal look. Starting with the first aspect mentioned the one shoulder gown is totally a formal outfit. It is elegant and refined as style as it can become a label for such a wedding type.
Going further, the bridesmaids look is a versatile subject. But generally speaking the one shoulder dress is suitable in many cases and even not counting the age or the body shapes. In one direction, it should have the empire waist, with accent exclusively and more for the above part of the dress, to the bust and the interesting design about just the single shoulder covered. On the other side, such a dress type can be aimed to hide the real line of the waist, the hips and at the same time to create a sort of visual illusion about a disproportional look. In other words, for a person with wide hips and not a generous bust or the same proportional measurements for the top part the balance is created through this cut of the dress.
Last, but not least, the one shoulder gown is the femininity symbol, with a slow tendency at the sexy appearance but a surely aim about creating a fancy, stylish and beautiful view about the maids of honors. It is exactly the balance you need: not too shrill, not a common appearance, something elegant and appropriate for such an event.11

Consuming Rituals of the Suburban Tribe
Published: January 13, 2002
(Page 2 of 4)
Housecalls does not describe what it does as anthropology; it prefers to say that its researchers generate ''reality-based product differentiation.'' But the language of Margaret Mead and her followers constantly creeps into the company's official literature. One company brochure talks about consumers as if they were aborigines, lauding the benefits of ''seeing and hearing them in their everyday environments.'' Housecalls researchers often approach American consumers as an exotic species. Body language and gestures are rigorously documented. In one food study, for example, the company's cameras captured the spontaneous reaction of a woman who ''disgustedly picked off the pasta sticking to her serving fork.'' Through extended in-house contact, the company's field researchers also get their subjects to reveal the personal motives behind their use of various products; in one recent case, a young woman feverishly scrubbing her bathroom confessed that she did so to win her grudging husband's approval.
Housecalls camera crews follow subjects in and out of their homes, into the deepest crevices of their day-to-day lives. They have shadowed teenagers as they wander into stores to buy disposable cameras; followed an executive in his car on his way to work as he takes a swig of mouthwash and then spits it out at the first traffic light; spied on mothers changing their babies' diapers; followed middle-aged men into their bathrooms to see how they apply antiperspirant; and videotaped the interactions of young couples as they run their hands through hair doused with various brands of mousse. In the process, Abrams and his team have created a curious, singular library of videotapes showing ordinary Americans going about their normally unrecorded business.
Although the advertising business overall has struggled since Sept. 11, Housecalls has continued to prosper. Recent clients include Kraft Foods, Duracell and Playtex. More and more companies, Abrams says, have recognized that traditional focus groups -- in which groups of randomly selected citizens discuss their uses of Kleenex and Mars bars while researchers hidden behind a one-way mirror scribble down their utterances -- do not always paint an accurate picture. Consumers' memories are notoriously unreliable, for one thing. Even worse, focus-group subjects often sugarcoat their experiences out of a desire to please. In recent years, advertising companies began noting that participants were parroting back their very own slogans. In addition, focus groups were often being dominated by one or two overbearing personalities, many of whom had made odd careers out of the experience, going from study to study like professional alcoholics at A.A. meetings. The method had gone stale.
The fly-on-the-wall immediacy of the Housecalls approach isn't cheap, of course. Where a traditional focus-group study costs a client around $10,000, a Housecalls study sets a client back $33,000 for a study of around 20 people. ''We've done just about everything,'' Abrams says, ''from adolescent cereal consumption to diet-pill use by obese women. We really are ethnographers -- we're out there in the field.'' And the increasing demographic diversity of America means that there are more and more consuming tribes requiring intimate, independent study. ''Old methods of market research are just not cutting it,'' Abrams explains. ''Manufacturers cannot keep pace with the evolving lifestyles of so many different groups and subgroups.''
Take Maalox, the over-the-counter antacid. The makers of Maalox recently came to Abrams because they had little idea how people with chronic heartburn became loyal to its product rather than Rolaids or Pepto-Bismol. Accordingly, Abrams's company has designed a close-up study involving a group of Westchester County women.
Housecalls often clusters its studies in a single geographical area, like the sprawling New York garden suburbs. This is a key consumer heartland but one that sometimes seems as impenetrable to advertisers as the Amazon. For the antacid study, the Housecalls team has been patiently plotting its way from house to house, visiting one woman after another who suffers from persistent dyspepsia. For Janet Allen, the assignment is almost as sensitive as the study Housecalls did for Playtex examining the use of padded bras. But Allen, a former academic researcher who did graduate work in psychology at Columbia, knows which buttons to push and which to leave delicately untouched. ''You have to be very careful,'' she says as we talk about the social mechanics of discussing heartburn with middle-aged women. ''The subject mustn't ever feel judged or intimidated.'' (Indeed, Housecalls only uses women ethnographers; Abrams calls male researchers ''latently threatening.'')
The subjects of the Maalox study are each provided with the ingredients -- salsa, spicy tomato sauce and the like -- for a fatty, burn-inducing feast. After the woman eats, team and subject sit around for half an hour chatting, waiting for burning sensations to rise in their subject's chest. At one Westchester home, a woman chomps on a witches' brew of barbecue sauce and chips for 20 minutes.
''It's burning ,'' says the woman.
''Do you ever consider not eating barbecue sauce and chips?'' asks Allen.
''I know it makes me burn, but it's so yummy!'' The woman looks forlorn. ''No, I wouldn't stop eating it. I'd just take my Maalox instead.''
The woman points ominously to her solar plexus. ''It's beginning to burn much more,'' she groans. ''It's like a tingling. I'm starting to burp.''

Am I missing anything? Any of the above not worth it?
