Sourabh Mukherjee is a delightful writer, if waking up to a nightmare after reading a novel, is your kind of delight. The fast pace of the narration, and the constant twists and turns, makes it an 'unputdownable' read.
An appropriate cover page and a juicy blurb helps it grab your attention easy, and will keep you hooked until you've finished off with the very last page.
It delves deep into the dark recesses of the minds of the characters and etches a picture of the states of marriages of the current times, the increasing rate of infidelities and the face of the corporate world.
The serial murders are well-thought, and well-plotted.
If you are a mystery lover, this book will keep you entertained.

"… I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith, to be content" (Philippians 4:11).
Q. I recently moved into a new apartment, and I am worried the former tenant still has a key. I asked the landlord to change or re-key the locks and he refused. He told me I could do it myself as long as I gave him a key. This doesn't seem fair. Why should I have to pay for this?
The Jefferson Theatre has endured nearly a century of wear and tear. It has outlasted hurricanes, floods, downtown deterioration and even an overzealous congregation who decided to destroy its original statuary, deeming the nude artwork unholy.
Virtually all new laptop (notebook) computers, tablets and smart phones now include some type of webcam (web connected video camera). Some of the newer desktop monitors incorporate an integral webcam, and millions of computer users have an external webcam connected to their computers, typically mounted on the top of the monitor and pointed at the user. External webcams, often only requiring a USB connection, can frequently be purchased for under $20.
There are many legitimate uses for Webcams, as well as some illicit or criminal uses that webcam owners need to be aware of.

I bought the purple one for myself, then I bought the gold one for my daughter-in-law, then I bought the silver one for my son, then I bought the red one for my daughter. We all love them. The read-out is bright and clear, user friendly, adjustable. So far the battery hasn't run down, but I charge it every night. I like the charge port in the front rather than on the bottom so I can stand it upright while charging. With anything, it takes a little bit to get used to the difference from what we were using, but quickly get attached. It is kind of heavy, but that is because of the powerful battery. It fits in the hand good and I have small hands. It is all I use now and it goes wherever I go. I also bought the Innokin iSubG tank to go with it and am also very happy with that.
Posted by dudley doo on 12th Dec 2015
The tid: I own four in black, silver, gold and one CoolFire IV Plus 70W in silver. This mini mod stands up to rigorous critique. More developed than the CoolFire I, II, and III, the IV is destined to become a classic. Innokin subjects their products to rigorus tests before releasing these products to the public. You are getting more value for the cost, and products that hold up well. I bought these because I know if I ever have a problem with any of their products I will get the service I would offer to anyone purchasing my own products. Excellent!
The bit: Although their products are designed and manufactured top notch, The CoolFire IV would be a bit better if you could swap out batteries or at least a battery that was above 2500 mAh at 20 Amps or above. Possibly a bigger LED screen. I like the new 2016 mods with upgradeable firmware. This would make them fly off the shelves even faster than they allready have been.
All in all, The CoolFire IV is a great transition mod or just perfect for those who like a nice simple amount of vape. when sub ohming the battery tends to drain a bit fast. My remedy for this is rebuilding my tanks upwards around 1.5 ohms minimum, with my settings around
3.6V to 4.8Volts. This gives me a rather dense yet cool draw from my tanks. I'm just not into hot vaping.
Beyond all this I will definately recommend to everyone the Innokin CoolFire IV is a great addition to anyones collection.
Hopes this helps.
Posted by Deborah Beasley on 12th Dec 2015
Love it
Posted by Unknown on 9th Dec 2015
The second one I have purchased from WOV and as always fast shipping. It MOD feels great in either hand and the ease of operation is fantastic.
Would highly recommend this unit to all people out there who vap.
Posted by Shawn R on 7th Dec 2015
This is my first box mod, and I"m really happy with it. Paired with my Nautilus tank, this is the vape experience I was going after. I set the unit to 10.5 watts with a 1.6 ohm coil, and am really pleased with the flavor and vapor production. I have to mention that it feels great in either of my hands...I love the strong-feeling weight and size of it, and the easy operation. the blue color ROCKS . Nice touch with the lanyard attachment... mine fit right on. Great service from WOV, of course, as they shipped everything right out asap. I'll definitely be after a model with removable batteries for sure now...lol... but I'm grabbing a couple more of these also...they are awesome. Battery life is pretty goo too.( been vaping on it medium heavy now for about 9 hours and the light is still yellow...not bad.) Perfect entry-level "nothing to sneeze at" mid-power box mod.
Posted by Denise Robinson on 5th Dec 2015
I love my coolfire IV. The customer service was wonderful in helping me pick out the right one for me. I will only order from worldofvape. They helped me choose the Nautilus tank also. Love them both.
Posted by Unknown on 19th Nov 2015
I bought one of these for my boyfriend a couple months back and finally got one for myself. He loves his and now I love mine, too. It fires great, has long battery life, and the overall feel of the device is perfect.
Posted by Cathy on 15th Nov 2015
Love the feel of this. It's not too heavy. Fits well in my hand. And most of all, it works fantastically. I use it with both the Atlantis and the nautilus mini.
Posted by Karl on 13th Nov 2015
Works rater well with my Aspire Atlantis. I can't seem to put it down. It also seems to have that elusive cool factor. I chose the green one and I'm not disappointed.
Posted by Xraybiker on 7th Nov 2015
I like the grip alot, but too heavy and big for me. Everything. Else Rocks

As ever fewer desktop PCs find homes with loving families, we take a look at what might well be yet another nail in their coffin: Acer's newest 17.3in multimedia laptop, the Aspire 7735Z-424G32Mn. After all, with a snappy name like that it's already well on the way to stardom! Seriously though, aside from the rather tedious model number this machine appears to have a lot to offer, not least a generally excellent specification for the mere £490 it demands.
Of course with a screen as big as this you're not going to get a slim unit, but nonetheless the Aspire 7735Z manages to avoid looking too bulky thanks to its tapered lid. Build quality, meanwhile, is generally good, with no obvious weak points.
Acer's latest is also quite attractive: its lid sports a rather fetching blue veneer finish which changes shade depending on light and angle, something the photos don't do full justice to. Unfortunately it suffers from the same drawback as other glossy coatings, requiring regular maintenance to keep it fingerprint-free.
Opening the laptop up reveals a more traditional and somewhat less attractive combination of black and gunmetal grey. Thankfully all the important bits like the touchpad, palm-rests and keyboard have been kept matte, with the only glossy parts being the two strips either side of the keyboard and the screen's bezel.
Another noticeable point is that this Acer has no touch-sensitive controls. Playback keys rely solely on secondary functions along the top of the number pad, with volume assigned to the up/down cursor keys.
Above the keyboard on the right is a large green-backlit Eco-mode button to switch instantly between normal and PowerSmart modes (favouring performance and battery life respectively), while in the left strip are three physical shortcut buttons for backup, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, though the latter is pointless on this chassis as this version of the 7735Z doesn't have Bluetooth inside.
A great visual touch (though it could be a little distracting for some) is the large power button etched to look like the common power symbol with its blue backlighting. This is partially lit when the machine is charging and fully lit when the laptop is turned on.
As expected from Acer, the laptop's isolation keyboard is generally rather good. Feedback is just a tad harsh, as keys give a hard click without any cushioning, but at least it's well-defined, and the key surface, spacing and layout are all faultless. There's also a full number pad to the right, which is always a useful feature on a desktop replacement like this.
I would never buy an Acer. Their customer service is horrific and blatantly lie to you. Their hardware also seem to have more reliability issues.
Regarding the dell you refer to, I'm assuming you mean the studio 15 which has similar specs, but a better graphics card. I have that laptop, and it runs WOW in very high settings well, games such as TR Underworld with all settings high without frame jerkiness, bioshock and mass effect brilliantly. It can handle many 3D games well, albeit the latest 2009 games may need to be played on medium settings, which still look great on a laptop.
Are the Intel Graphics capable of coping w/Photoshop?
Acer laptops are some of the best laptops I've ever used and I have never had any reliability issues, even looking around the internet Sony and HP laptops seems to be far far less reliable. as for customer service I've never had to use it because I've never had any problem at all.
I have had Acer laptops for years. Never a problem. Best value for the dollar. Currently have two Acer Aspire 5720-6512 from Office Max. After seeing mine, some of my friends got one also.
Could you please do a review on the Acer Aspire 7735G because there is not a single review on it on the entire internet! Seriously! I am thinkin of buying it.
just bought an acer aspire 7735Z this week and I love it so far, works really good.
awesome, just got one and havent turned it off in three days. fantastic

The Pisces 21 Daysailer, inspired by the traditional Herreshoff FISH class daysailer, was designed by C.W Paine in 1999. Our first yacht built was cold moulded wood epoxy construction. The hull is now also available in fiberglass. Over the past ten years we have proudly produced both and continue to offer both mediums. No matter your choice of material, these small yachts are finished to the highest standard of our Maine Boat Building tradition, the finest daysailer/weekender you'll find on the coast of Maine or anywhere else.
The Pisces 21 is a lovely boat to admire from any perspective: From the first sight of her in the morning glow gently pulling at her mooring painter, sailing and close tacking with ease around the harbor or taking a final glance as you row to shore basking in the last light of the day. This boat will move you. Crafted in the tradition of Maine boat building using the finest materials and modern finishes, the Pisces 21 Daysailer is the perfect blend of old and new. Whether day sailing your favorite cruising waters, off on a camping adventure or enjoying the hospitality of the many bed and breakfasts along the way, the Pisces 21 Daysailer is guaranteed to fill your heart with memories to be passed along to the next generation.

Co-founder Bobby Hashemi, who recently returned as chairman, is hoping to stem the group's decline. He said: 'We will consider all options.'
Its bankers have revised their terms, but only until December when they will reassess the group's finances. Losses ballooned to £7.5m before tax from £2.4m last time, including one-off charges. Coffee Republic added that it made profits of £1m, before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and one-off charges, from losses of £350,000 a year earlier.
Turnover rose for the year ended March 32% to £27.8m, but acquisitions represented all of that growth. On a like-for-like basis, sales fell 6.8%, compared with 8.6% growth the previous year.
The 18 bars accounted for 10% of its sales. Coffee Republic took a £5.25m one-off charge to cover the sell-offs, and a charge of £400,000 for restructuring and job losses. It will be left with 90 bars following the sale.
Hashemi was fielding calls after today's announcement, triggering rumours chief executive Peter Morris was being sidelined.

9 Alternative Rehearsal Dinner Ideas for Couples Who Love Food

Any food lover knows that if you want fresh, flavorful ingredients, the best place to find them is right on the farm. While you can certainly treat your family and friends to a standout dinner at a local farm-to-table joint, why not up the ante and bring the party right to the source — the farm itself?
Progressive Dinner Parties
This is the food connoisseur's version of pub-crawling: Each course takes place at a different location, typically the couple's favorite restaurants. At the first stop everyone indulges in appetizers, dinner is at the second stop and finally dessert is at the third stop.
Food Trucks
Those pintsize kitchens pump out big-time flavor that rivals even the most-esteemed stationary establishments. Whether you're planning a casual backyard affair or an evening where your partner popped the question, bringing in a fleet of food trucks is sure to blow guests away.
Locally Minded Fare
Local ingredients are a great way to give guests a taste of the area. A lobster feast or clambake with all the fixings is a must for couples tying the knot in New England, while a classy pizza party is fun way to show off a little Chicago pride.
Brewery, Distillery and Vineyard Tours
Whether you consider yourself a craft beer aficionado or an amateur sommelier, lead guests off the beaten restaurant path and into a local brewery, vineyard or distillery. Treat everyone to a tour, then enjoy a low-key reception where food and drink pairings reign supreme.
Cooking Classes
Share your passion for food with your closest family members and friends with a private cooking class where you prepare a meal together, then sit down to share it along with good conversation and wine. The occasion allows everyone to get better acquainted — and develop a culinary skill or two.
Interactive Stations
Going with a traditional, seated format for your reception dinner? Give guests a taste of something different for your rehearsal dinner with a station-style affair. Take the concept to the next level with a series of DIY stations that allow guests to customize their meals.
Next-Level Barbecue
You won't find any just-your-average burgers and dogs here. This get-together is all about true-blue barbecue with modern twists. We're talking brisket that's been smoked to perfection and sides with a gourmet vibe, like sauteed kale and homemade jalapeno biscuits.
If you have faith in the culinary capabilities of your close family members and friends, a potluck-style reception dinner is a fantastic way to bring people together and is extremely flexible. To keep things interesting, choose a theme for the event, like comfort foods or global cuisine.

DEERFIELD, Ill. & CHAPEL HILL, N.C.- Baxter International Inc. (NYSE:BAX) and Chatham Therapeutics, LLC, today announced that Baxter has agreed to acquire all of Chatham's outstanding membership interests. As a result of the transaction, Baxter will acquire Chatham's developmental gene therapy programs directed toward the development and commercialization of treatments for hemophilia.
In May 2012, Baxter and Chatham entered into a collaboration to evaluate Chatham's Biological Nano Particle (BNP™) platform – an advanced recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-based gene therapy technology – as a potential treatment for hemophilia B, known as BAX 335, which is currently in a Phase I/II study. As a result of this acquisition, Baxter obtains broad access to Chatham's gene therapy platform, including the previously partnered hemophilia B (FIX) program, a preclinical hemophilia A (FVIII) program, and the potential future application to additional hemophilia treatments.
"Chatham's gene therapy platform technology offers the potential to redefine treatment of both hemophilia A and B," said Ludwig Hantson, Ph.D., president of Baxter BioScience. "This technology will be highly complementary to our expanding pipeline of bleeding disorder treatments as we continue our pursuit of a bleed-free world."
Under the terms of the agreement, Baxter will make an initial payment of $70 million to acquire all of the outstanding membership interests of Chatham. Baxter may make additional payments in the future based on specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones.
"Given Baxter's long-standing commitment to innovative product development in hemophilia, we are confident that this transaction provides the best opportunity for the advancement of our BNPTM gene therapy platform technology for the benefit of hemophilia patients worldwide. The integration of Chatham's next-generation technology and expertise, along with Baxter's global marketing and distribution presence, is a combination we anticipate will support efficient delivery of a potential new class of therapeutics to the hemophilia market," said Jade Samulski, Co-Founder of Chatham and Vice President of Asklepios BioPharmaceutical, Inc.
Baxter will continue the ongoing Phase I/II open-label clinical trial to assess the safety and optimal dosing schedule of BAX 335, an investigational FIX gene therapy treatment for hemophilia B. The BNPTM technology provides a mechanism for the patient's own liver to begin producing FIX following a single dose of the genetically engineered treatment. The design of the vector allows for more targeted delivery of the FIX therapeutic "cargo" into the natural site of FIX synthesis. This may permit effective therapy with low quantities of the vector.
The Phase I/II clinical trial is proceeding as expected and aims to enroll up to 16 hemophilia B patients.
Following the acquisition, Chatham will maintain its licensing and development relationship with Asklepios BioPharmaceutical, Inc. (AskBio) on the development of novel hemophilia therapeutic gene therapy candidates using the Biological Nano Particle (BNP™) platform. AskBio is involved with the development of its proprietary BNPTM gene-delivery platform technology for therapeutics targeting diseases in the heart, CNS, muscle, ocular and liver tissues.

Ridge East Bench Zinfandel 2007
Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
8% Petite Sirah. Here is marvelous proof that high ripeness and fine balance need not be mutually exclusive, for while the wine checks in at 15.4% alcohol, it is as deep in defined fruit and as carefully structured as any Zinfandel in this month's survey. It is simply brimming with berries from the first, and, while fully ripe, it is not in the least bit overdone. It is laced with briary spice and complementary oak, and its long, tannin-firmed finish is as well-focused on outgoing fruit as its intense, deep and handsomely crafted aromas. As impressive as it may be at the moment, it will only get better with time, and the best prescription is for a few years of patience.
This was my first look at a new offering from Ridge, the 2007 Zinfandel East Bench. From a young Dry Creek Valley vineyard, it is a blend of 92% Zinfandel and 8% Petite Sirah (15.4% alcohol). Its big, open-knit bouquet of briery black raspberries and black cherries is followed by a fleshy, medium to full-bodied wine revealing good freshness as well as a savory, up-front style. I would opt for drinking this offering over the next 4-5 years.

Network Sharing
Definition - What does Network Sharing mean?
Network sharing is a feature that allows resources to be shared over a network, be they files, documents, folders, media, etc. These are made accessible to other users/computers over a network.
Network sharing enables access to information by more than one person through more than one device at the same or at different times. By connecting a device to a network, other users/devices in the network can share and exchange information through this network.
Network sharing is also known as shared resources.
Techopedia explains Network Sharing
Network sharing can take place at different levels. The major levels include the individual-system level and the multi-system level.
Most private computers have a public folder. By default, all users of a private computer have access to the public folder and the information stored in it. This comes under the individual-system level.
It is possible to share this folder over a shared network with other computers as well. A shared network would mean a common Wi-Fi or LAN connection.
The same is possible for other folders on the system. By turning on network sharing and allowing certain or restricted rights, these folders can be viewed by other users/computers on the same network. This known as the multi-system level.

best hot tub I have ever seenPosted Apr 2, 2017

The salt pool great. Limited eating space badPosted Mar 20, 2017
We stayed one night and everything was good. Overall a bit expensive for a standard stay hut at least it was a solid standard stay. Clean. Not too noisy considering it was st Patrick's day. My family enjoyed the salt pool. The breakfast was perfectly fine. Standard but tasty. But with such a small number of eating space and with such a large lounge many of us has to stand and eat. Lounge is nice but you have to figure out a way to swap in a lot more tables and chair for the breakfast rush.

Posted Jan 8, 2017 on Hotels
Room felt very cold when heat isn't running. Need to turn temperature up with fan on High to heat up room, when the heat kicked started, the Cold air blew out initially. After a little while, it made the room so hot and dry. Even I had the PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB sign ON while I was away from room, we suspected someone went inside the room. We remembered that our TV was ON 'Weather' channel when we left for breakfast. By the time we returned, the TV channels switched to the hotel movie On Demand one. We tested the remote & left TV ON all the time, TV channel wouldn't change by itself but MUST BE MANUALLY to do so. So, WHO changed the channel. We didn't lose anything, we didn't let the hotel know. The day that we checked out, we were a bit late. We had the PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door with TV on inside, the housekeeper kept knocked on our door. I answered. She was startled and excused that "so sorry. They told me that you were out". We wondered what was she trying to do? By speaking to friends who stayed there previously, they shared the same experience. Now, they don't stay there anymore.

Convenient location, well appointed; all amenitiesPosted Dec 27, 2016
Welcomed pets, efficient check-in, check-out. No glitches. Buffet breakfast (incl) was OK with lots of variety
for Familiesby A verified traveler
The hotel was close to our relativesPosted Dec 24, 2016
Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was great to go to the lobby and have a coffee and breakfast.
Cons: I expected a small fridge in our room. We managed without ,however it would have been more convenient to have it - we were traveling with an infant.
Location: The location was okay. It was close to relatives.
Our experience was over all good. The check in and check out was very quick and we were able to extend our check out until noon. It gave us more time to organize ourselves and the baby. The hotel was very busy with visiting sports teams,but everything went smoothly.

The Loweswater fells.
With room for only half a dozen cars or so the chances are that you'll find this parking area full. There is another car park found a little way past The Kirkstile Inn, but this one is even smaller. Should you be lucky enough to get parked however, you'll find this a truly beautiful area of the Lake District. Crummock Water and Loweswater are both within easy reach and of course there's Mellbreak, towering above this end of Lorton Vale.

Grammatical Competence Communicative competence • The ability to produce sentences in • knowing how to use language for a a language range of different purposes and functions • The knowledge of the building • knowing how to vary our use of blocks of sentences (e.g. parts of language according to the setting and speech, tenses, phrases, clauses, the participants sentence patterns) and how they are formed Grammatical Competence Communicative competence • The unit of analysis and practice is typically the sentence • knowing how to produce and understand different types of texts (e.g. narratives, reports, interviews, conversations) • knowing how to maintain communication despite having limitations in one's language knowledge (e.g. through using different kinds of communication strategies) While grammatical competence is an important dimension of language learning, it is clearly not all that is involved in learning a language. This latter capacity of grammatical competence is understood by the term communicative competence. Interaction between the learner and users of the language Collaborative creation of meaning Creating meaningful and purposeful interaction through language Negotiation of meaning as the learner and his or her interlocutor arrive at understanding Learning through attending to the feedback learners get when they use the language Paying attention to the language one hears (the input) and trying to incorporate new forms into one's developing communicative competence Trying out and experimenting with different ways of saying things the use of the following: pair work activities role plays group work activities project work. Learner Roles: They have to participate in classroom activities become comfortable with listening to their peers in group work or pair work tasks, rather than relying on the teacher for a model. They were expected to take on a greater degree of responsibility for their own learning Teacher Roles: They have to assume the role of facilitator and monitor the teacher had to develop a different view of learners' errors and of her/his own role in facilitating language learning. As a needs analyst As a counselor As a group process manager Histori I. Traditional approaches (up to the late 1960s) II. Classic communicative language teaching (1970s to 1990s) III. Current communicative language teaching (late 1990s to the present) gave priority to grammatical competence as the basis of language proficiency. based on the belief that grammar could be learned through direct instruction and through a methodology that made much use of repetitive practice and drilling. Techniques: memorization of dialogs, question and answer practice, substitution drills various forms of guided speaking and writing practice. Approach: Deductive students are presented with grammar rules and then given opportunities to practice using them, as opposed to an inductive approach in which students are given examples of sentences containing a grammar rule and asked to work out the rule for themselves. Great attention to accurate pronunciation and accurate mastery of grammar Methodologies: Audiolingualism (in north America) (also known as the Aural-Oral Method) the Structural-Situational Approach in the UK (also known as Situational LanguageTeaching). P-P-P (Presentation, Practice, Production) Methodology Under the influence of CLT theory, grammar-based methodologies such as the P-P-P have given way to functional and skills-based teaching, and accuracy activities such as drill and grammar practice have been replaced by fluency activities based on interactive small-group work. This led to the emergence of a 'fluency-first' pedagogy (Brumfit 1984) in which students' grammar needs are determined on the basis of performance on fluency tasks rather than predetermined by a grammatical syllabus. attention shifted to the knowledge and skills needed to use grammar and other aspects of language appropriately for different communicative purposes: making requests, giving advice, making suggestions, describing wishes and needs and so on. What was needed in order to use language communicatively was communicative competence. The notion of communicative competence was developed within the discipline of linguistics (or more accurately, the sub-discipline of sociolinguistics) Advocates of CLT argued that communicative competence, and not simply grammatical competence, should be the goal of language teaching. CLT created a great deal of enthusiasm and excitement when it first appeared as a new approach to language teaching in the 1970s and 1980s, and language teachers and teaching institutions all around the world soon began to rethink their teaching, syllabuses and classroom materials. Grammar was no longer the starting point. New approaches to language teaching were needed. 1. Language teaching is based on a view of language as communication. That is, language is seen as a social tool that speakers use to make meaning; speakers communicate about something to someone for some purpose, either orally or in writing. 2. Diversity is recognized and accepted as part of language development and use in second language learners and users, as it is with first language users. 3. A learner's competence is considered in relative, not in absolute, terms. 4. More than one variety of a language is recognized as a viable model for learning and teaching. 5. Culture is recognized as instrumental in shaping speakers' communicative competence, in both their first and subsequent languages. 6. No single methodology or fixed set of techniques is prescribed. 7. Language use is recognized as serving ideational, interpersonal, and textual functions and is related to the development of learners' competence in each. 8. It is essential that learners be engaged in doing things with language—that is, that they use language for a variety of purposes in all phases of learning. Theoretical The Communicative Approach in language teaching starts from a theory of language as communication held that linguistic theory is concerned primarily with an ideal speaker-listener in a completely homogeneous speech community, who knows its language perfectly and is unaffected by such grammatically irrelevant conditions as memory limitation, distractions, shifts of attention and interest, and errors in applying his knowledge of the language in actual performance. The focus of linguistic theory was to characterize the abstract abilities speakers possess that enable them to produce grammatically correct sentences in a language. His theory of communicative competence was a definition of what a speaker needs to know in order to be communicatively competent in a speech community. Held the view that linguistic theory needed to be seen as part of a more general theory incorporating communication and culture. Theory: the functional account of language use "Linguistic is concerned with the description of speech acts or texts, since only though the study of language in use are all the functions of language , and therefore all components of meaning brought into focus." He has elaborated a powerful theory of the functions of language, which complements Hymes's view of communicative competence for many writers on CLT. Seven basic functions: instrumental, regulatory, interactional, personal, heuristic, imaginative, representational. Introduced four dimensions of communicative competence: grammatical competence (grammatical and lexical capacity), sociolinguistic competence (understanding of social context and the communicative purpose for interaction), discourse competence (how meaning is represented in relationship to the entire discourse or text) and strategic competence (coping strategies that communicators employ to repair, redirect, etc. communication) Their extension of the Hymesian model of communicative competence was inturn elaborated in some complexity by Bachman, whose model, in turn, was extended by Celce-Murcia, Dornyei, and Thurrell. Language is a system of the expression of meaning The primary function of language is to allow interaction and communication The structure of language reflects its functional and communicative uses The primary units of language are not merely its grammatical and structural features, but categories of functional and communicative meaning as exemplified in discourse. Fluency Activities Accuracy Activities reflect natural use of language focus on achieving reflect classroom use of language communication require meaningful use of language Do not require meaningful Communication require the use of communication strategies focus on correct formation of examples of language Produce language that may not be predictable Choice of language is controlled Seek to link language use to context practice language out of context There should be balance between fluency and accuracy activities Accuracy activities should support fluency activities FLUENCY ACTIVITY: A group of students of mixed language ability carry out a role play in which they have to adopt specified roles and personalities provided for them on cue cards. These roles involve the drivers, witnesses, and the police at a collision between two cars. The language is entirely improvised by the students, though they are heavily constrained by the specified situation and characters. ACCURACY ACTIVITY Students in groups of three or four complete an exercise on a grammatical item, such as choosingbetween the past tense and the present perfect, an item which the teacher has previously presented and practiced as a whole class activity. Together students decide which grammatical form is correct and they complete the exercise. Groups take turns reading out their answers. This refers to the fact that in real communication people normally communicate in order to get information they do not possess. Students practice a role-play in pairs. One student is given the information she/he needs to play the part of a clerk in the railway station information booth and has information on train departures, prices etc. The other needs to obtain information on departure times, prices etc. They role play the interaction without looking at each other's cue cards. based on the information-gap principle the class is divided into groups and each group has part of the information needed to complete an activity. the class must fit the pieces together to complete the whole. they must use their language resources to communicate meaningfully and so take part in meaningful communication practice. The teacher takes a narrative and divides it into twenty sections (or as many sections as there are students in the class). Each student gets one section of the story. Students must then move around the class, and by listening to each section read aloud, decide where in the story their section belongs. Eventually the students have to put the entire story together in the correct sequence. puzzles, games, map-reading and other kinds of classroom tasks in which the focus was on using one's language resources to complete a task. student conducted surveys, interviews and searches in which students were required to use their linguistic resources to collect information. activities where students compare values, opinions, beliefs, such as a ranking task in which students list six qualities in order of importance which they might consider in choosing a date or spouse. these require learners to take information that is presented in one form, and represent it in a different form. example: they may read instructions on how to get from A to B, and then draw a map showing the sequence, or they may read information about a subject and then represent it as a graph. these involve deriving some new information from given information through the process of inference, practical reasoning etc. example: working out a teacher's timetable on the basis of given class timetables. activities in which students are assigned roles and improvise a scene or exchange based on given information or clues. Learners will obtain several benefits: they can learn from hearing the language used by other members of the group they will produce a greater amount of language than they would use in teacherfronted activities their motivational level is likely to increase they will have the chance to develop fluency Promote communicative Language use Practitioners of CLT view materials as a way of influencing the quality of classroom interaction and language use. Text-based materials Tasked-based Realia materials Textbooks A designed to direct and support CLT Texts from Syllabuses typical lesson consists of: Theme (e.g. relaying information) Task analysis for thematic development (e.g., understanding the message, asking questions to obtain clarification, taking notes, etc.) A practice situation description (e.g., "a caller asks to see your manager. He does not have an appointment. Gather the necessary information from him and relay the massage to your manager." A stimulus presentation (e.g., in the preceding case, the beginning of an office conversation scripted and on tape) Comprehension questions (e.g., "Why is the caller in the office?" Paraphrase Exercises Exercise handbooks Cue cards Activity cards Pair-communication practice materials Some provide drills and practice materials in interactional formats Based from the belief that language classroom is intended as a preparation for survival in the real world Use of "authentic," "from life" materials in the classroom LANGUAGE BASED REALIA: signs, magazines, advertisements, newspapers GRAPHIC & VISUAL SOURCES: maps, pictures, symbols, charts, graphs Since the 1990s the communicative approach has been widely implemented. Communicative language teaching has continued to evolve as our understanding of the processes of second language learning has developed. 1. Second language learning is facilitated when learners are engaged in interaction and meaningful communication 2. Effective classroom learning tasks and exercises provide opportunities for students to negotiate meaning, expand their language resources, notice how language is used, and take part in meaningful intrapersonal exchange 3. Meaningful communication results from students processing content that is relevant, purposeful, interesting and engaging 4. Communication is a holistic process that often calls upon the use of several language skills or modalities 5. Language learning is facilitated both by activities that involve inductive or discovery learning of underlying rules of language use and organization, as well as by those involving language analysis and reflection 6. Language learning is a gradual process that involves creative use of language and trial and error. Although errors are a normal product of learning the ultimate goal of learning is to be able to use the new language both accurately and fluently 7. Learners develop their own routes to language learning, progress at different rates, and have different needs and motivations for language learning 8. Successful language learning involves the use of effective learning and communication strategies 9. The role of the teacher in the language classroom is that of a facilitator, who creates a classroom climate conducive to language learning and provides opportunities for students to use and practice the language and to reflect on language use and language learning 10. The classroom is a community where learners learn through collaboration and sharing Process-based Content-Based Instruction (CBI) Task-Based Instruction (TBI).

Low-vision apps
I've been looking at apps to help someone with low-vision lately– increasing the size of text and icons on the screen and such–on Windows and Android. It's been somewhat difficult, as my visual impairment isn't as extreme, so I don't really have a point of reference. Some of the apps seem really good, but cost money for full functionality.
A couple of the apps I've looked at include Big Launcher, which seems good like it would be pretty good; it costs $9.99 in the US. I also looked at Claria Zoom, which seems really useful, but costs $3.99 per month.

One of the groups on campus hosted a game show-type event and needed buzzers. We briefly looked into making iClickers work as buzzers without success, but thought "There must be an app for that!" Indeed, there are apps for that. My student found I Buzzed First, but it turns out it's not available on the US app stores.
Here's a link to Android apps (and other buzzers) and here are the a few we found for iOS (we have iPads we could use for this):
Sync Buzzer for Android worked great on my home network, but didn't work on campus with our network, though it did work with my phone as a wireless hotspot. It allows several people to use an Android phone as a buzzer and can keep a tally of how many correct answers a player or team got.
We finally settled on the Wireless Eggspert (Amazon, $54.29), which is pretty cool. You can have it randomly choose one of six contestants to answer, or they can be used as buzzers, where the first person to buzz in has to answer the question in 5-30 seconds (timed on the Eggspert).
If you just need a gameshow soundboard, there's Ultimate Buzzer on the Apple App store; this one on the Play store is more like a game multi-tool.
It looks like there's one for android and operated through Chrome on the Chrome store.

Mathematica tech support
The past couple days I've had a few requests for help involving Mathematica. It turns out this problem is not just had on earth, but in space as well:
Loaded onto [astronaut] Foale's now-inaccessible computer was an off-the-shelf technical computing software system called Mathematica, which Foale has used for many years to perform calculations involving higher math. Thinking that Mathematica could shed some light on some of the tasks necessary to set Mir back in order, he asked that a backup of his hard drive be retrieved from his home and sent up to Mir on the next supply rocket. Installation onto the new computer, however, required a new password–and that meant a quick phone call to Wolfram Research, Inc., makers of Mathematica. The NASA ground crew contacted Allison Fry, a Customer Service representative at Wolfram Research, and Mathematica was soon up and running again in orbit.
Mathematica helps astronauts, but even astronauts need tech support. Don't you just want to learn how to use Mathematica now?

Snapchat just changed its name to Snap and came out with a new glasses-type device called Spectacles. *Queue the curmudgeon* Unfortunately, they've completely neglected the percentage of the population (more than you'd think) that wears corrective spectacles, which is too bad. It would be neat to have a camera on my glasses that could take photos or videos. Imagine having such a thing constantly record, like Tivo, so that when you witnessed an accident, you'd have instant replay. You could prove you saw bigfoot, or a rainbow, or a UFO.
Kidding aside, it seems that corrective glasses wearers are often an afterthought.
Be inclusive. Design for everyone.
Or at least everyone who can afford your product.

Innovative ideas for mobiles
I just heard about two interesting innovations. The thingCHARGER and Reviveaphone. Both are thoughtful solutions to problems people have. These are not really ground-breaking technologies, but they are creative solutions to somewhat common problems. I personally know people who have had their phones immersed and I'd be willing to bet that 80% of the people on campus have needed a charger for their phone.
This makes me wonder: How do you classify something as innovative? While these are new ideas, they aren't so radical that someone would say, "I never would have thought of that." So what is innovation? I think innovation is taking the next step to improve some aspect of life, whether that's learning something new, completing a task, or some kind of process.

Earlier, I posted about OpenDyslexic, a font that makes it easier for a person with dyslexia to read. While I don't advise anyone to change their course materials to use the font, they should certainly be aware of it.
People who create, post or publish anything online should also be aware of other issues with fonts or typefaces. WebAIM has a great article about typography and making it easier for people to read.

ChemicalSams on open internet testing
Aaron Sams, the Woodland Park educator who has been flipping his instruction for years, discusses the four or five kinds of students he has in his classes, based on how they use the world wide web for taking tests (or don't).
Basically, there are students who know how to use the tools, students who don't know how to use web-based tools and students who just don't care. Sams doesn't discuss student cheating, but his conclusions and reflections address other problems I think every teacher has.
Two of his points were especially poignant:
2. I really need to change the way I assess my students. The Purists, The Google Challenged, and The Disinterested have not benefitted from open-internet tests. I need a better way to assess the understanding of the Google Challenged and the Disinterested, and I need to be able to explore the upper limits of The Purists.
3. My students continue to treat tests as a means to acquire the sufficient number of points to obtain the letter grade that will keep their parents off of their backs. They do not treat them as the diagnostic tool needed to help me determine what a student knows and can do.
This was my problem in school. Most often, I didn't really care about what I was learning, I just wanted a grade that would demonstrate my "mastery" of the subject and keep future opportunities open to me. What must be done to truly engage a student like me or one who doesn't even care enough to try on tests?

Student Research
I recently read about an interaction between employers and a college professor. The professor asked what the employers look for when hiring. In essence, the employers said they look for real world experience.
Not their GPA.
Not their test scores or transcripts.
Their what-have-you-done files…
Providing real experience has become the task of the school, and it's one that has barely been embraced.
via Do your graduates have a what-they-have-done file? | Dangerously Irrelevant.
That's not quite true. Here at CC, we want to increase student research and faculty/student collaboration. Part of the glory of the block plan is that students can go into the field and do research to generate a "what-have-you-done" file.

MOOC Students Who Got Offline Help Scored Higher, Study Finds – The Chronicle of Higher Education
This really isn't news, per se, but it is proof of something our friends in the Writing Center have known for a long time. I suspect that students in any class, whether online or offline, will benefit from getting help outside class…
For online learners who took the first session of "Circuits & Electronics," the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's hallmark MOOC, those who worked on course material offline with a classmate or "someone who teaches or has expertise" in the subject did better than those who did not, according to a new paper by researchers at MIT and Harvard University.

Does the world want our MOOCs?
Oh, burn! What a disappointment to think that "we" don't have all the answers.
Inside Higher Ed reports that:
Online higher education is increasingly hailed as a chance for educators in the developed world to expand access and quality across the globe.
Yet it may not be quite so easy. Not only does much of the world not have broadband or speak English, but American-made educational material may be unfit for and unwanted in developing countries, according to academics who have worked for years on online distance education and with open educational resources, or OER.

Property watchdog proposal rejected
A PROPOSAL to create five senior positions to enforce policies on fighting property speculation was rejected by legislators yesterday.
The councillors said the new posts could not guarantee increased efficiency.
The Government deferred the application and referred it to the Housing Panel for discussion.
The suggestion to set up five directorate posts, with monthly salaries ranging from $73,150 to $92,250, was jointly made by the Buildings, Lands and Planning departments.
Its aim was to ensure better monitoring of the proposed special teams, which would be set up to implement measures dampening speculation and increasing housing supply.
The Government said one of the immediate targets was to produce 45,000 additional flats by 2001.
But, at yesterday's sub-committee meeting, independent legislator Emily Lau Wai-hing asked how the new posts would make a difference.
'I have reservations the Government can guarantee that, through the new posts, they will manage to produce the 45,000 flats on time,' she said.
'When low efficiency has been the reason for frequent postponement of the government schedule for many years, can the five additional staff help?' And Housing Panel chairman Lee Wing-tat said the Government should admit the slow progress of the past projects, which involved a number of departments, was due to red tape.

FDUs Library will Host a Discussion on the Koran March 27
MADISON, NJ (March 19, 2013)Fairleigh Dickinson Universitys College at Florham Library has invited Dr. Heba Musharraf, a Princeton University lecturer in the Department of Near Eastern Studies, to give a free presentation, Recite & RecallKnowing the Koran, to the public on Wednesday, March 27 at 11 a.m. in the Orangérie at the College at Florhams Monninger Center. The discussion will be followed by a screening of a Greg Barker documentary, Koran by Heart, and a question and answer portion.
Musharrafs presentation will examine the relationship between faith, the Koran, and the role that memorization plays in defining and substantiating the way Islam is lived and experienced. This discussion is part of a semester series that will combine the two themes, Connected Histories and Points of View, to help students and others explore the diversity, complexity and interconnectedness that exist within what is broadly termed Muslim society. The other two events are April 9 titled, Mirror, Soul, Vision, Beliefthe relationship between Islam and Art, and May 2 titled, Unveiled and Unimaginable? Uncovering & Discovering the Ways Islam is Lived. More information will be released shortly about these two events.
Musharraf has taught Arabic at the college level for seventeen years. She has pioneered a unique comparative and analytical methodology in teaching the Arabic language.
This event is a part of Muslim Journeys, a project grant from the American Library Association, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities that the College at Florham Library was awarded this semester. This grant provided the library with twenty-five written texts, four documentaries, and University-wide access to the Oxford Islamic Studies Online database.
For information about this event or the upcoming series please email Dr. Kenneth Sammond at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call the FDU Library at (973) 443-8515. FDU is located at 285 Madison Avenue, Madison, N.J.
