utility storage
Utility storage is a service model in which a provider makes storage capacity available to an individual, an organization or a business unit on a pay-per-use basis. The utility model is sometimes called metered services or storage on demand.
Cloud storage face-off: Public cloud vs. private cloud vs. hybrid cloud storage
Every cloud storage option has its pros and cons. Depending on your specific needs, the size of your environment, and your budget, it's essential to weigh all cloud and on-prem options. Download this comprehensive guide in which experts analyze and evaluate each cloud storage option available today so you can decide which cloud model – public, private, or hybrid – is right for you.

As in the utility computing model, the purpose of utility storage is to use resources efficiently and reduce costs. A use-based pay structure can be much more cost-effective for an enterprise than it would be for them to purchase, manage and maintain an infrastructure that meets peak requirements, which may be far beyond what's needed normally.
There are three basic models of utility storage:
- On demand. Vendors install storage systems configured with more capacity than is needed; users "turn on" additional capacity as required and are billed for the additional usage.
- Internal utility. In this scenario, an IT department pools its storage resources and adds the components necessary to internally administer the storage as an on-demand service to the company's business units.
- Off site. Storage service providers (SSPs) provide off-site storage facilities, typically based on a lease arrangement with service level agreements (SLAs) that guarantee quality of service (QoS). Many companies use SSPs for off-site backup; increasingly, SSPs are also being used to replace or augment onsite data storage. See: storage as a service (SaaS)

Travel Guide North America USA Northeastern United States Pennsylvania Harrisburg
© All Rights Reserved Lingering
Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania and with around 50,000 is a relatively small city, the ninth in the state.
If you have a membership to a Science Museum you can use it for free or discounted admission to the Whitaker Science Center, also in Strawberry Square.
Average highs range from around 3-4 °C in January to around 30 °C in July. Lows average between -5 °C and 19 °C respectively. The average annual amount of precipitation is about 1,100 mm with summers being slightly wetter due to heavy downpours. Snow is common from December till early March.
Harrisburg International Airport (IATA: MDT, ICAO: KMDT) receives a number of domestic flights.
The following trains operated by Amtrak travel to and from Harrisburg:
Many international rental companies have a wide selection of rental cars and these include Hertz, Avis, Dollar, Thrifty, Enterprise, Budget and Alamo/National. Most companies will require you are at least 25 years of age, although younger people might be able to rent cars at slightly higher rates and with some insurance differences as well. A national driver's license is usually enough, but an additional international one is recommended. Also note that it usually costs more to include lots of other extra things. For example extra drivers, GPS, the first full tank, SLI (Supplemental Liability Insurance), PAI (Personal Accident Insurance, usually covered already at home), road assistance/service plan, and drop-off costs for one-way rentals.
If you want to book a car, it is recommended that you book your car before arriving in the USA. This is almost always (much) cheaper compared to just showing up. Also, try and book with a so-called 'broker', which usually works together with a few or many car rental companies and can offer the best deal. Some examples include Holidayautos, Holidaycars and Sunny Cars. Some of the cheapest deals to book from Europe, includes Drive-USA, which also has a German version.
For more information and tips about renting cars and campers, additional costs, insurance, traffic rules, scenic routes and getting maps and fuel it is advised to check the USA Getting Around section.
If you are in downtown Harrisburg, 2nd street is lined with good places to eat or drink and has a lively nightlife. Families will enjoy Strawberry Square and children will love the giant Chockablock clock.
There is a very small internet bar/cafe culture in the USA. Even then most of the internet bars/cafes tend be located in major urban centers. Accessible WiFi networks, however, are common. The most generally useful WiFi spots are in coffee shops, fast-food chains, and bookshops, but also restaurants and hotels more and more have a network to connect on. Some of them might require you to buy something and you might need a password too, especially in hotels.
See also International Telephone Calls
The general emergency phone number is 911. The USA has a great landline phone system that is easy to use. The country code for the U.S. is +1. The rest of the telephone number consists of 10 digits: a 3-digit area code, and a 7-digit number. Any small grocery store or pharmacy has pre paid domestic or international phone cards. These phone cards are very cheap and offer good rates. The once ubiquitous pay phone is now much harder to find. Likely locations include in or near stores and restaurants, and near bus stops. The cellphone network in the states is slowly getting better but is still not as good when compared to other western countries. Cell phones tend to operate using different frequencies (850 MHz and 1900 MHz) from those used elsewhere in the world (2100 MHz). This used to prevent most foreign phones from working in America. Phones must be tri- or quad-band to work in the U.S. Fortunately, technology has meant that most phones should now be able to pick up one of the U.S. networks. Prepaid phones and top-up cards can be purchased at mobile phone boutiques and at many discount, electronics, office supply and convenience stores. A very basic handset with some credit can be had for under $40.
The US Postal Service is a very good and well priced mail system. There are post offices in every small and large town for sending packages internationally or domestically. Although some might keep longer hours, most are open at least between 9:00am and 5:00pm. If wanting to send a letter or postcard it is best just to leave it in a blue mail box with the proper postage. First-class international airmail postcards and letters (up 28.5 grams) cost $1.10. There are also private postal services like FedEx, UPS, TNT and DHL, which might be better value sometimes and are generally very quick and reliable too.

Sometimes, this column is all about the hits.
You can have your obscure sitcom and enjoy it. You can have your earnest documentary and feel the better for watching and agreeing with it. Knock yourself out. I'm with you a lot of the time. But, every now and then, a question arises – What are the masses watching on TV and getting a kick out of, week after week? To answer this we have to start by acknowledging that, in prime time, loads of people are not watching the major networks. They're watching something like HGTV. Home and Garden TV. Fixing stuff. Decorating stuff. Selling houses.
We spend the winter watching these shows and making plans to do things when spring arrives. Look, it's more entertaining and rewarding than some CBS sitcom about scarily callow twentysomethings going on dates and having issues with mom that are worked out when everybody goes shopping. Okay, it might be just as much fantasy – like, are you really going to build that deck? – but it's fun, fun, fun.
With this in mind, I wondered what's hot on HGTV. To my small astonishment I read this: "Timber Kings becomes HGTV Canada Royalty as #1 Series in the Network's History."
Apparently, it's true. The hottest show on Canadian TV might be this thing, which chronicles the adventures of the master log smiths at Pioneer Log Homes in Williams Lake, B.C. Yep, they are the world's largest handcrafted log-home builders. And we, or a lot of us, anyway, are galvanized by their day-to-day work. Talk about hewers of woods and drawers of water. We do worship our core activities in this country.
Like many successful shows on specialty channels, Timber Kings (there's a marathon of episodes, HGTV, almost all of Friday, and you can find all the episodes online) is a curious hybrid. Although it's a reality show about people doing their jobs, there's a sitcom element. The people at Pioneer Log Homes are emphatically established as characters who argue, joke and curse their way through an episode.
As André Chevigny, the general manager of Pioneer Log Homes, says in an early episode, the customer who wants a log house, whether it's a small cabin or a mansion, has fantasized about it for a long time, and it's his crew's job to make the fantasy real. That means 18-hour days, seven-day work weeks and often dangerous tasks in hostile conditions.
Mostly, on the show, it means a lot of footage of enormous logs and guys going around with chainsaws. Each house they build is handcrafted on-site, then taken apart, shipped and reconstructed wherever the client wants. On the evidence of a few episodes, every client is demanding and wants the house finished in an unreasonably short time. This is the key dramatic element – a race against the clock as tempers rise and safety becomes an issue.
There is swearing galore – "You frickin' dumbass, are you trying to kill me?" is a question frequently tossed around. It's mostly guys, but Danielle, a crane operator, is one of the key people, usually telling some agitated guy to chill. A lot of it seems arch, the conflicts and resolutions that unfold in this dysfunctional family/team, but the allure of the show is authentic, hence the ratings.
Mind you, for all of the real work we see – the craftsmanship is enormously impressive – the show is dizzy escapism. This impressive company might have started out making small trappers' cabins; it now caters to people with many millions to spend on elaborate home of near-hallucinatory grandiosity. And what you see done in a one-hour episode is many months of toil edited into a neat package. The rhythm and outcome is as predictable as any CBS sitcom.
Timber Kings is a hit because, essentially, it's a show for burned-out people. Burned-out daily by this digital age. By technology, by the feeling that with all the work we do, we create nothing substantial. Here on the show people work with huge logs and, after all the tension, there's a real, substantial creation left behind. Something you can touch.
Airing tonight
Unusually Thicke (Slice, 10 p.m.) is another celeb reality show, this one devoted to the doings of the Canadian TV star of the 1980s, Alan Thicke. It is, in truth, like a downmarket Curb Your Enthusiasm. As Entertainment Weekly described it, "There's an inexplicably hypnotic appeal to the fabulously banal life of former eighties star Alan Thicke. The beauty is that Thicke doesn't actually realize he's hilarious, especially when the topics are his loose grip on technology or his tight hold on the eighties."

An estimated 2,500 people showed up at a North Dallas Borders bookstore to get an autographed copy of George W. Bush's first memoir, the bookseller reports. But the former president could put his John Hancock on only 1,300 copies of Decision Points and on 500 bookplates for the legion of unlucky buyers.
In a news release, Borders noted that Bush signed 500 copies more than expected (800) and that hundreds of others in line would receive a signed bookplate later.
First in line were Terry and Tammy Jones of Justin, Texas, who camped out overnight after arriving at the store yesterday about 2 p.m. They bought four books Bush autographed, met him briefly, and beamed, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram writes.
"I waited 18 hours for two seconds and a kiss on my hand. I'm never washing this hand again," Tammy Jones said.
As part of the advance publicity for the book, Bush spoke with USA TODAY's Judy Keen in his first post-presidential newspaper interview. Read what he said.

Centuries ago, Sir Isaac Newton told us that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. For this reason, no man without a death wish really has any desire to position himself in the path of a speeding Ivan Johnson. Even other NBA players, who are quite large and competitive themselves, are hesitant to get in his way. Recently, as if he's suddenly realized just how frightening he truly is, Ivan has begun to exploit this advantage. It seems that not a Hawks game goes by nowadays in which Johnson doesn't get at least one coast-to-coast dunk, where he just grabs the rebound and takes off dribbling. It basically works 100% of the time because nobody steps up to stop the ball. That's not what happened on this particular play, but as you watch Johnson fill the lane like a boulder crashing down the side of a mountain you'll understand precisely what makes him such a weapon in transition, with or without the ball. "You want me to take a charge, coach? That's a six-foot-eight, 255-pound man who is banned for life from the Korean Basketball Association. **** that." –Many of Johnson's opponents, probably. The most honorable of mentions to DeAndre Jordan, who showed off an improved post game as he put on a dunking exhibition against Orlando. As powerful as he was, though, none of his individual dunks top that of Ivan Johnson (as if I'd dare say otherwise). Dunk rating on the Starbury Nastiness Scale: 7.5/10 2012/13 Daily Poster Stats Throwback Poster of the Day: If anyone ever is foolish enough to cross Ivan's path, this is basically what will happen (except for the part where the defender lives to tell about it).

With the furore about Mass Effect 3's ending (which for the record I quite liked) people seem to have brushed over the relationship system. Unbelievable characterisations mixed with sallow interactions manage to crate some of the emptiest sentimental claptrap I have seen outside of a Lucas movie.
DoFuss's "Now So Cheap It Should Be Criminal" Games of 2011.
These are the games that had their price dropped unfairly quickly, those games that should have done better but never got what they deserved.
DoFuss's Big Budget Games of 2011 (yes, I know its May).
This is a list of the biggies. Games with the advertising muscle to make an impact, with or without the medias' approval. Don't hold that against them though, seek them out if they passed you by.
More Damned Shadows (Link)
This should be the last you see of my articles on Shadow's of the Damned, the game I expected to worship but that I ended up just adoring. It was a hard score to decide on for Play Devil, as their scores are weighted slightly higher than I would naturally place them and I suspect that by comparison to some other reviews on the site I should probably have gone up to 8.5, rather than the flat 8.
Shadows of the Damned (360, PS3)
For me Shadows of the Damned achieved a sublime mix of creative talent. If I were to compare it to the classics I would see it as a mix of Shakespeare, Mozart and Da Vinci coming together for a production. To my Japanese centric mind, with a propensity for horror and narrative, the pool of creative talent EA pulled together was breath taking. Suda 51 brought his spin to the story, with Shinji Mikami handling game play and Akira Yamaoka on drums… I mean writing the score. Honestly there is nothing in this mix that could possibly go wrong. Right? Well in theory yes but, as I proved one time when I made ramen with a beer and cheese, sometime the whole can be far less than the sum of its parts.
Cultural Diversity and Ethnocentricity
Last month saw the release of a number of significant titles from Japanese designers and developers, most notably Child of Eden and Shadows of the Damned. For a long time gamer like myself they represented hugely significant titles marking (in Eden) a spiritual successor to a classic (Rez), and (in Shadows) a collaboration of some of Japans greatest talents. Yet while my excitement was nearly over flowing at their release, the gaming playing community at large responded with a near inaudible, 'meh'.
The DoFuss Show – The Penultimate
We are back for the almost-last DoFuss Show. December will see the last DoFuss Show with my return from Japan to the UK. As I won't be in the 'land of the rising sun' any more, the opening lyrics claim that I am 'the number one gaijin, the man in Japan who can' will become hopelessly inaccurate so (as we can't be bothered to rewrite the theme tune) we decided to cancel the show.
My Picks of E3 – Dead Space 2.
Whenever I have been asked about my most anticipated game of 2010 is I have answered Dead Space 2. It is an instinctive response; the original was far and away my favourite game of 2008. While I feel the game didn't need a sequel science-fiction survival horror titles prove a rare breed, so I take them where I can get them.
Mirror's Edge (360, PS3, PC)
I don't like what Mirrors Edge does to me. It captures my most obsessive side. The part of me that is determined to take every jump perfectly. My problem is that I don't seem to be good enough at it.

Port of Marseilles
17 May 2016
France's ports, railways and airports face shutdown.
02 Mar 2016
The Mediterranean port of Marseille Fos is seeing stronger container growth compared to the industry average in Europe, a result the port attributes to shippers becoming more convinced that the port's days of labor strife are in the past.
16 Jul 2015
The French port of Marseille Fos is off to a strong start in 2015, with overall cargo volumes up 6 percent and containerized traffic at the deep-sea port up 10 percent.

The Writer's Life, Post graduation
by Charles Duncan
The sound of Mingus playing loud from a second story window made James smile and walk slower. His back and leg were starting to ache, so he welcomed the excuse to pace himself. Waves of hot air and city-smell rose from the concrete that baked in the sun, all the rank puddles dried up and the trash withered, black metal handrails along the stoops too hot to touch. The little troublemakers that always ran up and down these blocks sat morosely, silently holding cold drinks or slumped over as if dead. Lazy little bastards, he thought; give 'em some time in the jungle hauling a pack and they'll be calling this paradise.
He turned the corner onto Freemont and saw Earl sitting on the corner. Same spot as always, feet out on the sidewalk, Styrofoam cup overturned and its contents on the pavement. Only a couple nickels, like most days. A sharp feeling ran over James, making his skin crawl and his face curl into a frown. Earl's head was lolled over to the side and he was mumbling like he always does after eleven in the morning. As he got closer, Earl saw him and started talking to him, loud.
"Jim-bo, my man, how you holding up?"
Earl's skin had that sickly junkie pallor and his lip was twitching, his eyes held that desperation that James loathed. He kept his gaze away and walked past without responding, and once he got a few paces away Earl began to yell.
"You know me! We seen a lot of shit together, man, shit nobody should see! How you gon' ignore me?!"
A few blocks later James reached the boardwalk. Kids were yelling and playing, young couples were walking and holding each others' hands, vendors sat bored and stared into the distance. James' slow pace was accompanied by the clack of his cane against the wooden boards, his back really starting to hurt now. He kept walking, slower as he passed through the smell of fried food from a vendor's kiosk.
Two kids with cap guns ran past him, and one squeezed his plastic trigger, the harsh percussion of the cap ringing out over the boardwalk. A bitter chill washed over James, the noise seizing him and forcing him rigid. Goosebumps rose on his skin and his cane slipped unnoticed from his fingers. After a split second he came back, looked around at an unrecognizable scene, confused, and realized he was hyperventilating. He hobbled stiffly over to a bench and sat down, his cane resting several feet away on the hot boards.

iOS How-To : Displaying picture of a contact from address book
Par Arnaud Boudou le dimanche 17 avril 2011, 10:35 - How-To - Lien permanent
Displaying picture of a contact from the address book is a relatively easy at first, but unfortunately behaves differently depending on the version of the OS. Here's what to consider, and the limitations.
In the beginning
The first available function was ABPersonCopyImageData ( ABRecordRef person ) which, until iOS 3.2, returned an object with the picture as defined by the user, ie the original picture including cropping. But, starting iOS 4.0, this function now returns the "raw" version of the picture, without cropping.
The new way to do
Starting iOS 4.1, a new function ABPersonCopyImageDataWithFormat ( ABRecordRef person, ABPersonImageFormat format ) is available. This function, very similar to the previous one, accepts a new parameter which can have the following values:
- kABPersonImageFormatThumbnail : the returned object represents the picture of the contact as defined in the address book (same behavior than ABPersonCopyImageData before iOS 4.0).
- kABPersonImageFormatOriginalSize : the returned object represents the raw picture from which is derived the picture in the address book.
Known issue
The problem with this new function is that it's available only starting iOS 4.1. Apps using iOS 4.0.x will have to use original function, but with a wrong behavior compared to previous releases of iOS. You just have to hope that the devices using iOS 4.0 will be a minority.
The code
In order to properly handle different versions of iOS, here's an example of a function fetching the picture of a contact
// Return picture from contact - (UIImage *) contactPicture:(NSInteger)contactId { // Get contact from Address Book ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate(); ABRecordID recordId = (ABRecordID)[contactId intValue]; ABRecordRef person = ABAddressBookGetPersonWithRecordID(addressBook, recordId); // Check for contact picture if (person != nil && ABPersonHasImageData(person)) { if ( &ABPersonCopyImageDataWithFormat != nil ) { // iOS >= 4.1 return [UIImage imageWithData:(NSData *)ABPersonCopyImageDataWithFormat(person, kABPersonImageFormatThumbnail)]; } else { // iOS < 4.1 return [UIImage imageWithData:(NSData *)ABPersonCopyImageData(person)]; } } else { return nil; } }

2014 - A New Year's Resolution
In 1974, the Idaho Legislature passed a bill to allow a portion of hunting and fishing license fees to be earmarked to acquire and enhance wildlife habitat. These funds continue to support Idaho Fish and Game's work with the public in various ways to improve wildlife habitat.
Wildlife Management Areas
Fish and Game owns about 204,000 acres of land in Idaho. Wildlife management areas play a critical role in the life-cycle of the species or suite of species for which they were purchased. Some were purchased to provide critical winter range or migratory corridors for deer, elk and antelope. Others are large wetlands complexes important for waterfowl and shorebirds. They are located in every region of the state, and many are in close proximity to Idaho's population centers. Each area has a habitat biologist, whose responsibility is maximizing benefits to wildlife and providing for enjoyment of the public.
Partnerships with Other Landowners
It is difficult to manage wildlife populations when you only own 204,000 acres of the 53 million acres in Idaho. Since roughly 70 percent of the state is in public ownership and about 30 percent of the state is in private ownership, Fish and Game needs to work with public land management agencies and private landowners. Public land management agencies include the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Idaho Department of Lands, and projects include:
- Conducting prescribed burns to improve aspen stands.
- Creating larger impoundments and planting wetland plants to Restore degraded wetlands.
- Fencing riparian areas to better manage livestock and vehicle use.
- Reseeding shrubs grasses, and forbs after wildfire.
- Cutting junipers to reduce densities in shrub-steppe habitats and benefit mule deer and sage grouse.
Other projects take place on private lands. These projects focus on activities that benefit sustainable agriculture and wildlife. Current projects include:
- Working with farmers to plant habitat on highly erodible farm land.
- Working with grazing associations to reduce juniper on shrub-steppe habitats.
- Providing engineering assistance and project funding to restore wetlands on private and public lands.
- Writing timber stand improvement plans for private land.
Fish and Game volunteer projects are an opportunity for people to participate in habitat restoration. These rewarding activities provide an excuse to get outside, as well as improve and enjoy the land. Most projects include some type of restoration or planting activity, such as:
- Planting sagebrush or bitterbrush on wildlifemanagement areas or other public lands.
- Planting willow cuttings in riparian areas.
- Removing old fences to make wildlife passage easier.
Given this variety of projects, everybody can find something to enjoy.
Help Create Habitat - Buy a License.
Each one of these methods has an important place in the "toolbox" of habitat improvement. But Fish and Game can only continue to work on habitat projects if it has adequate funding. Fish and Game, as well as many other conservation groups, receives no funding from taxpayers. Supporting Fish and Game and other, nongovernmental conservation organizations through donations or purchasing a hunting or fishing license is an easy way to contribute to habitat in Idaho.

The young cast of Jez Butterworth's play Mojo, currently playing to a packed house at the Harold Pinter Theatre, have received glowing reviews for their portrayals of habitués of a seedy 1958 Soho club.
But how did such a young cast, which includes Harry Potter star Rupert Grint and Ben Whishaw, learn their parts so convincingly? They were taught by experts. Dispatched to Soho's French House for a tutorial in louche drinking, they spent an afternoon in the company of actors including Dottie Phillips, 85, who acted with Burton and Taylor in Under Milk Wood, and the slightly younger singer Eddie McPherson, mother of Suggs, who used to run Soho's Kismet club.
A few hours later the young actors made a stumbling exit from the bar, ashen faced and weary, leaving the Soho pensioners upstairs to carry on as before. "They don't make them as sturdy as they used to," commented one.

Guest post – Teacher Luiz Eduardo (Dudu)
Hello everyone! I know I've been quiet on the blog for a couple of months now, I do have some (good) reasons for that. First and foremost, this blogger got married in June, which meant a lot of hard work with planning everything, and a bit of partying afterwards. I've also attended and participated in the 13th National Braz-TESOL convention in Rio de Janeiro. I was really honoured for having been invited to be the MC for the convention (and I hope those who attended it thought it was a decent job), and I also presented a Pecha Kucha in the very first PK night in the history of Braz-TESOL. Most importantly, it was a great pleasure to have the chance to attend the convention with other staff members. One of these has actually written a guest post and has kindly accepted to be published here. Without further ado, here comes the first text of this new semester in Doing Some Thinking, a guest post written by teacher Luiz Eduardo, or, simply put, Teacher Dudu. I hope you enjoy what's to come!
The teacher must have a heart
After attending a week of professional development, such as the 13th BRAZ-TESOL National Convention, teachers normally go back to their schools full of new ideas. They heard Christine Coombe talking about the 10 characteristic of a highly effective teacher; Kathi Bailey speaking about the bridges to link what students can say to what they want to say; Ben Goldstein and the metaphors in English; Jim Scrivener developing the interaction between teaching and learning; David Nunan mentioning the proto-language and real language; Luke Meddings giving ideas to teach unplugged; Herbert Puchta showing thoughtful aspects about Neurolinguistics; Nicky Hocky and the digital literacies; Jeremy Harmer elucidating the myth of multi-tasking; and Lindsay Clandfield talking about critical thinking, among other speakers. And I'm not even mentioning what teachers have certainly learned from all the workshops and talks they have attended in addition to the plenary sessions.
Although they have probably enjoyed learning and remembering so many things, they now have a big problem in their minds, which is how to apply all those things in their classroom. Is everything suitable to their reality? Should they try to do everything they have heard from these highly-respected professionals in ELT? But… how???????
This is exactly my point in this reflection. Though teachers should always try to keep up to date, they are the ones who know their students, classroom, school, city and country. They are the ones who must feel when to use certain activity. They should know how adapt activities to different contexts. They have to make students embrace the activities and the ideas they've been presented with. They are in charge of the responsibility to teach their students. Finally, they are the ones who have to cope with such diverse teaching situations.
Thousands of activities without feeling aren't worth it, just as feeling without any activity is equally worthless.
It's possible to say that the teacher should have this balance: to keep up to date, but always remembering that they need a reality filter. As Christine Coombe ranked 'the calling to the profession' as the number one characteristic of a good teacher, I think I can say that the teacher's heart is this reality filter I'm talking about.
I fortunately work in a school which encourages teachers to try new ideas, and to be always pursuing self and professional development. I am, most definitely, looking forward to putting to use the new ideas I had during this fantastic brainstorming week.
I am a teacher at Atlantic Idiomas in Brasília, Brazil. I was born and I've grown up here in Brasília, the city which has the most beautiful sky in the world. I have a BA degree and teacher's course in History from Brasilia's Federal University (UnB). I am finishing my undergraduation Language course, majoring in English, this year; also at Brasilia's Federal University (UnB). I've been teaching English since 2004 and I really love what I do. From now on, I want to participate more actively in the online teaching world.
Why join a teachers association?
A while ago, I wrote a post about what had brought me back to twitter. As we're on this subject matter, another post I wrote was on the effect of PLNs on my professional growth. I've also written something about my fond memories of Braz-TESOL conventions and how much I treasured them. That's all fine, and I do believe all those things, namely twitter, PLNs, and conventions do add a lot to my professional life. But how so? And, even more important than that, why bother?
How does being the member of a community help?
Even though this is not the most important question, the answers to this question are just too many to be written in a single blog post. Pretty much all posts you can find on this blog were the result of some sort of interaction I had with other teachers, students, or just people who weren't even in the field of education. When you join a community and become an active member of it, you're allowing yourself the chance to reflect on lots of things you believe in. However, you must always keep an open mind as this activity is bound to show you ways of thinking you couldn't probably fathom before.
A lot comes from online communities, building your PLN, sharing and contributing with like-minded people as well as people who disagree with you, but know how to do so reasonably and also in attempt to get something out of the discussion. When we're online, we also have the chance to interact with people from different countries a lot more easier than you can do face-to-face. However, I always feel there's something missing in the online component of interaction.
Despite all the benefits that arose from Web 2.0, it's still hard to beat the atmosphere from a face-to-face convention. Having had the chance to attend the last Braz-TESOL national convention with more than 1200 teachers from all over Brazil and all over the world, I can certainly assure you that the things you experience in such a convention are a lot more intense than what you usually get online. It's like one thing complements the other.
Finally, joining a teachers association, online or face-to-face, is helpful because it puts you together with people who, just like you, believe that teaching means acknowledging you must constantly be learning. Teachers who are members of a teachers association are willing to share information, experiences, and anecdotes that might help other teachers. Members of these associations aren't selfish and believe that the ones who benefit the most of such exchange of information are they themselves. Oh, really? But why is that?
Why should I join a teachers association?
I believe that sharing what I know with others and listening to what they've got to say, and trying out new things in class is done with the sole purpose of helping learners. I usually tell my students that teachers should care a lot less about their teaching and a lot more about their students' learning. This means teachers should learn how to truly listen to their students. In language teaching, I very much agree with the idea of working with language that's produced by learners themselves as this is more often than not a lot more personal and meaningful to learners than a pre-fabricated chunk of language used to show a point. If you've paid a visit to this blog before, you probably know what I mean by this.
That's fine, but what's this got to do with joining a teachers association? In a nutshell, the better the teachers are, the better students will be. If you believe you're a fantastic teacher but you don't share what you do in class, you're likely to have to start from scratch every semester or year. I honestly can't think of an educational setting in which students only have one teacher. This means that the better our peers are, the easier our job will be every new semester or year. Instead of having to teach students from scratch, you can just continue what had been done in previous semesters. Now, if that happens, and if you believe you're such "a fantastic teacher, like, the best teacher in the world ever", how much do you think you can accomplish if you haven't got to worry about teaching your students the basics, or things they should have learned long before they were your students?
If we accept that teachers who join teachers associations as teachers who are always willing to seek what's best for their learners, then it's likely that students who have been the students of teachers who participate in such associations are better prepared than students whose teachers do not take part in such associations. And the better prepared our students are, the easier our job is. Would you agree with that?
Where to go now? Well, if you're reading this and you're an English teacher in Brazil, you could start by clicking here (or on the image below).
On July 19th, the 12th Braz-TESOL National Conference will take place in São Paulo. The very first time I attended a National Braz-TESOL was exactly in São Paulo, in the year 2000. I had the chance to be introduced to this world of ELT where there are many teachers trying to find out about what's new in their profession, hear those iconic people we only had the chance to see in books talk, and if we were lucky, we could exchange a word or two with them. On that occasion, I was fortunate enough to attend Ken Wilson's workshop on Drama (here's a link to Ken's blog and twitter). That was one of the highlights of the convention for me, as it instilled in me a desire to start a Drama club in the schools I worked. I could finally start that in 2003, when I was teaching at a different school. Last time I checked, the Drama club is still running and doing very well. Another highlight of the event for me was Adrian Underhill's workshop on pronunciation. Being completely honest, that's the first recollection I have of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and I was truly gobsmacked for not having been properly introduced to that earlier by my teachers. I mean, of course I'd seen what at the time I called funky symbols in dictionaries, but I didn't know there was an international board that regulated that 'periodic chart'. Underhill spoke about his book entitled "Sound Foundations" at the time and it's also something that made me realise how important teaching pronunciation is. As I'd never lived abroad myself, I always felt that pronunciation was an area I had to improve if I ever wanted to take teaching seriously. That workshop (you can see short sample of it here – video 1 out of 4) was also something that made me think about a couple of things related to ELT and I believe it's also shaped my current beliefs. Another thing that I remember is the person who introduced me to the world of Braz-TESOL. He was one of the very first bosses I had and who was also one of my former teachers when I was studying English – Rogério. We actually went to the convention together and had it not been for him and the other boss I had at the time – Virgílio – I probably wouldn't have decided to really take ELT as a profession. I'm grateful to them and I'm also happy to still be able to be in touch with two of the people I look up the most.
I remember that it was upon returning from the Braz-TESOL in y2k that I first thought it would be nice to start presenting workshops, and the very first workshop I presented was only possible due to, again, Rogério's support. He was the one who said we could present something together in a regional Braz-TESOL, and so we did. I guess one of the reasons why we attend these workshops is to spread the word and share what we've learned. I rememeber we talked about ice-breaking activities and Ken Wilson's workshop on drama was actually a big source of inspiration. I'm pretty sure I profited from a lot more during that 2000 Braz-TESOL convention, but these are the highlights. As digital cameras weren't that popular back then, I haven't got pictures in my computer to upload to the post.
The second time I attended a Braz-TESOL convention was in 2004. As I already "a bit" more experienced in the area, I could actually relate to some of the names of presenters and some of the topics that were being discussed. One of the things that worked a lot better for me in that convention was networking. Actually, it was in 2004 that I had the chance to meet Terry Shortall, who is probably the guy who influenced me the most to take my MA at Birmingham University. I also had a better chance to bond with some of my co-workers at the time, among them I can highlight Helder Melo, Gustavo Barcellos, and Shaun Dowling. On the left you can see one of the pictures we took when we saw this bus. Come on…. HELP tourism?!?!?
The next convention was going to be in Brasília, my hometown. We were all really excited about it as we knew we could do a very good event. In addition, as we wouldn't have to pay for a plane ticket neither the hotel accommodation, that mean we could actually have some spare money to buy some books. Shaun Dowling was the president of the Brasília-Goiânia regional chapter at that time, if I'm not mistaken, and Helder and I were invited to be the Master of Ceremonies of the convention. It was a lot of work, but that also meant we had the chance to meet and talk to some people whose work we were big fans of. As MCs, we unfortunately couldn't attend lots of workshops as we had to make sure the plenary speakers had everything ready for their talk. Among some of the people we had a chance to talk to were Luke Prodromou, Scott Thornburry, Penny Ur, and George Pickering, as you can see in the pictures below:
Even though we couldn't really attend many workshops, we did manage to sneak in few sessions, but we always had to forewarn the presenter that we wouldn't be able to stay until the end as we had to be in the auditorium on demand. We also had a shot at presenting a workshop together on pronunciation.
Another highlight of the event was having the chance to get to know Terry a bit more and chat about the the MA programme. I still wasn't so sure I was going to go for it, but it certainly helped me make up my mind. I still needed a little push, though, which was given by a very good friend of mine who is also going to the Braz-TESOL with me and who is also taking her MA. If it weren't for this final push Uyhara gave me, I'd probably still be thinking about it instead of actually doing it.
And now it's the 2010 Braz-TESOL conference in São Paulo. I'm glad I'm taking with me a greater deal of readings and experience. I don't know if you feel the same way, but I think the more we learn, the more we profit from other people's speeches, talks, and workshops. It's much easier for us to 'fill in the gaps' and 'create bridges'. In addition to that, I'm also looking forward to meeting some people who have been reading this blog and with whom I had chances to have conversations either through the comments but also on Twitter. Too bad there'll be no wi-fi available, but I'm sure it's going to be worth it.

Product is working!
By Love TSC
from Toronto
Started noticing a significant change in the overall texture of my skin within 4days. Thrilled so far & recommend. About the packaging... concept okay but, the diameter of the opening of the bottle is too small, each time you need to insert the dobber, wasted product runs down the outside. Of course this happens after you've already used what you need so it's very frustrating. Your traditional, see through, no waste or contamination serum bottles would be better. Please consider, if you decide to continue this new 'wonder' line, because it works but not if some of it has to go the drain. Thanks so much

not so wonderful
By Casper
from BC Canada
poor bottleneck design allows dropper spillage when inserting, the extra gets smoothed over my neck area so not a total waste.Generous sizes, Scent free, and non irritating serum, but no instruction on amt to use. I use dime size nite & day and find my skin more congested and purging?Not the effect I was hoping for, maybe the wonder serum is better?
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By la Diva
from THUNDER BAY
I bought this after watching the presentation on TV. After using it day and night, using the cleanser,toner, day serum, day moisturizer and the same routine at night with the night products,..... for three weeks AND guess what.....NOTHING. I could see no visible results. Wonder Effects LOL. If the oriinal packaging had not been thrown away it would have been sent back. Now, I am stuck with ineffective products on easy pay.

HELP-changing food
I got Rambo blue buffalo freedom LBP because that's what the breeder was feeding him. His stool is solid in the morning but as the day goes on it gets looser and by the time he goes at night it's pudding-like.:( So I decided to switch him over and I bought Fromm LBP. I know i need to change his food slowly. How slow? I usually give him 1/2 cup of blue buffalo. How much Fromm should I put in there? Will it take a few days? Weeks? :confused:
I do a 75% (old) to 25% (new) ratio for two days, then 50% to 50% for two days, and then 25% (old) to 75% (new) for two days. The 7th day is all new
But it depends on the dog and food, some dogs do fine cold turkey while others need 2 weeks to adjust. My dogs have always been fine with a 7 day switch
I was super cautious and did it over 3 weeks. Started with an 1/8 of a cup of the new and filled up the rest with the old to one cup. I also kept the same ratio for 3 days before increasing the amount of the new food .

Re: 338 RUM performance
recoil of an unbraked 338 rum is pretty stiff, quite a bit more than a 375 h&h with full house loads. I shot mine for over 4 years without a brake, but I won't go back. I hear of guys with 338 rums that kick like a 243, but I have never seen it. My 300 rum kicks like a 243 with 180 gr bullets, but the 338 kicks pretty good with 300 gr bullets and not quite as bad with 225's. I use a walker game ear in my right ear and it keeps my right ear from the muzzle blast and my left ear is against the stock and the game ear also helps me listen for sneaky grizzlies that might be trying to sneak up on me.

Re: 338 RUM performance
Unless you are very fond of recoil it will need a brake at 8.5 lbs.
Mine is 9lbs ish ready to go, and with 250's I can handle it unbraked. once I go up to 300's I can take the recoil, I just cant hold on to the gun hard enough to shoot accurately.
Im going back to 250's and taking my brake off. I nearly went deaf this year when I forgot to put in plugs. Im a carpenter and If it hurts my already deaf ears, it cant be good for you.
I have a XCR 1

Re: 338 RUM performance
Recoil out of a 8 1/2lb 338 rum is going to be bad, no matter what bullet you're shooting! Only you can decide if you can handle it. My rum weigh's 11lbs fully loaded and kicks about like a 270 with my 4 port side discharge brake on it.

Re: 338 RUM performance
The recoil without the brake is stout, no doubt about it. It's a huge case shooting a lot of powder behind a heavy bullet. Those are all the elements that create recoil, and you have them all in the .338 RUM. You say that it is going to be a mixed use rifle, and I am not sure what that means. I think that you, and a lot of others, are too worried about noise. I don't mean that you want to go to the range with no ear protection, stay a couple of hours, and absorb all of your noise plus that from everyone else. That's a recipe for deafness at a young age. My point is that there are hearing protection devices available that will completely protect you from any recoil noise, and you probably should not let the noise issue make the decision for you. It is just one small, solvable issue) I use a protection device (and I cannot remember what the brand is, but you could find them at Cabelas, Midway, and most other shooting supply outlets)that fits snugly and comfortably in the ear, lets in normal conversation level noise, and completely blocks recoil reports. The few times that you would shoot the rifle at game in the field simply would not be enough exposure to hearing damage levels to affect your hearing. So I agree with you on one point, but not on another. At the range, definitely use ear protection regardless of whether you or anyone else is or is not using brakes; in the field, you just don't shoot enough to cause any damage to your hearing. I cannot think of anything you would use a .338 on in the field where your daily limit would be in the dozens. We are usually talking about one or two shots per animal hunted per season. Plus, you would want to leave the brake on when hunting anyway so you can see where the bullet hits the animal.( I just looked up the protectors I use in the Cabelas catalog, and they have two brands that do the same thing: "Hear Defenders ($30.00)," and "Hearing II Protectors" ($12.00. I use a different brand, but they all operate the same.) I am 66 years old and have been shooting highpower rifles since I was 14. I also shot trap competitively for 20 years. I have over 50 rifles from a .22-243 Middlestead to a Browning highwall in 45-70, and I shoot a lot, and I mean a lot. I have no hearing loss whatever. The advantages to brakes are endless, the disadvantage is just one, the noise, and that problem is easily solved. Whatever .338 you buy, and I still recommend the RUM, put good brake on it, (I recommend Benchmarks, other guys will recommend their favorites) and enjoy your shooting by about tenfold. I posted earlier that the recoil from my >338 Rum with a Benchmark brake on it is about the same as an unbraked .243. Maybe less. Anyone who doubts that statement is more than welcome to come up to my place and we will take a number of heavy rifles out and shoot them with and without their brakes. It will be an education. Best wishes to you whatever you decide to do.

Re: 338 RUM performance
I agree. Use some noise cancelling headphones that amplify sounds all other times. Protects your ears but enhances your abilities during the hunt by quite a bit. I tried it for the first time this year and will always have a pair on now! Takes having a brake out of the equation.

Re: 338 RUM performance
I have never tried those, but I am desperate need of even a small new toy, so maybe I will give them a try. I have heard good things about them from a number of sources. But I will stick to my recommendation for brakes until they plant me next to my favorite willow tree, and I do not understand, frankly, why some people are against them. I am repeating myself here and I apologize if people are tired of reading my posts on the advantages of brakes, but they have all positive features save the increased noise, which is easily dealt with. Why would anyone want to be beaten to a pulp by a .338 when you can shoot all day with no discomfort. Why would anyone want to shoot a heavy rifle, and big calibers are getting more popular by the minute, and eventually develop a flinch or a habit of closing your eyes as you pull the trigger as if that would reduce the recoil, or ruin your son or daughters interest in shooting because they do not want to endure even the recoil of a 25-06, develop a laundry list of bad habits all due to the fear of recoil when a simple 2-3 oz device installed on the end of your barrel solves all those problems. I hate recoil, and despite my years of experience, recoil was affecting my shooting significantly until I got to the point that I was closing my eyes and just jerking the trigger. I am the poster boy for the old adage "the jerk behind the trigger" as an excuse for poor shooting. Then I tried one brake, a Vais, on my 300 Win mag, and my whole world changed. Now I can hold rock steady prior to firing a shot; now I do not even blink when the gun fires; now I can see the bullet hit the target and know immediately the results of my shot; now I have a lot more confidence in myself and in my rifle. That is a luxury on the range, it can be a miracle in the field. I posted the story of the doe I shot and hit a little low and just behind the last rib. I saw the bullet hit the deer, clearly saw it hit her, and clearly saw exactly where I hit her. She ran off showing no sign of being hit. She ran 200 yards, jumped a fence, and disappeared over a hill. My partner swore I missed her, but I knew better. We searched for two hours, my partner getting more and more angry that we were wasting hunting time. I kept telling him that I saw the bullet hit the deer, but he does not use a brake and would not believe me. 21/2 hours later, we found the deer, about fifty yards from where she jumped the fence. She had been hit slightly low and just behind the last rib, and the bullet went right through her liver. How she went that far, I have no idea, but I do know that without the brake on my rifle, we would have given up and the deer would have been left to rot. I would have probably shot another one, and we would have had two dead deer instead of one, and one of the two would have been wasted. Even the scavengers would not have eaten the first doe. We hunt wheat fields, and the coyotes like those warm little mice and won't even give a dead deer a second look. There is a reason that gun builders like John Lazzeroni, Weatherby, and a host of others put brakes on their guns as standard equipment. And the reason is that the owners of those expensive guns expect them to shoot very well, and the builders want to make sure that they do for publicity purposes, and they know how much better the new owner of a fine rifle will shoot with a brake. I am sure there are many of you out there who are not particular bothered by recoil, and all I can say is God bless you, and keep doing whatever works for you. I shot on the range once next to a guy shooting a .416 Rigby without a brake. He was rock steady, kept his eyes open, and could tell you where every shot went. I admired that, but I can't do it, so it is brakes forever for me. Sorry this got so long, it is just that I hear on the range complaint after complaint about how poorly someone's gun shoots, and how there must be something wrong with it, and when I watch the guy shoot, he has both eyes closed and couldn't jerk the trigger any harder if he tried. I have politely offered some of them if they would like to shoot my rifle. Some get angry at the offer, some politely decline, and some take me up on it and then say that they are off to get a muzzle brake put on their rifle. The day before the opener two years ago, I was at the range and shooting 3/4 inch groups with my 300. The guy next to me was all over the place; could not even get the rifle sighted in. He had just bought the rifle, and did it right; he had a Remington 700 with a 3-9 Leupold on it. He asked me to help him, which I agreed to do of course, but I was not looking forward to shooting even his 30-06 without a brake. I got it sighted in and finally had it shooting inch and a half groups. He went back to shooting it and shot four to five inch groups. He was also closing his eyes and flinching badly. I had him shoot my 300 and to concentrate on relaxing, breathing normally, and keeping his eyes open. After about three groups, he was under an inch. He went off to get a brake installed. As I said, if it works for you, keep doing it, but it is brakes forever for me.

Re: 338 RUM performance
I did not read all of the posts but have a little input. My 338RUM BDL kicked pretty hard with 300gr loads but then I added a lighter synthetic stock (Bell Carlson Alaskan) and a lighter weight scope (zeiss conquest) it kicks significantly less now and I have no intentions of adding a brake to it.

I am so very sad. I cannot walk. I have hurt myself and dislocated both my hips. Both are back in place and the worst one is in a sling that will be on at least another week. I wish I could run and play--I wish I could just walk! I wish I wasn't making Mom work so hard cleaning my bed up.
I am supposed to recover--I am not expected to have surgery. But this is so hard.
My agility career is over, Mom says - and all this because I slid off the bed and landed wrong. :-(
I am trying to keep my chin up, but it is hard.
We just got a New SUV,
Mom calls it a CR-V!
It was designed just for me,
A CRV-SUV for ME, Cheri!
We Took A Trip in The SUV
To Kalamazoo to Do Agility
It Has More Room Than the 300Z
And A Special Place For Me, Cheri!
I Spent The Whole Trip Catching ZZZ's
In The SUV--Yay Yay Yay Whee!!!!
We Made The Trip With A Lot Of Ease,
In The CRV-SUV Just For Me!!
I am so glad to be home, but I am so happy that I had such a comfy sleeping place for our trip - the trip didn't seem long to me at all---I do not know what Mom and Kenzie are talking about!!!
I know that I am loved, but I sometimes wonder if Mom is disappointed in me. I just do not do my weaves at agility trials, even though they are perfect most of the rest of the time. Mom seems unhappy, though she does not try to show it. I know that she loves me. I just wish I felt more comfortable at trials. Maybe someday I will, but I am 10 and I am afraid that I will continue to fail, and then I will run out of time to compete. I do not want to fail. I am a little sad. At least Kenzie did well, so that helps Mom feel better. Mom does not understand what happens to me. I don't want her to give up on me.
I am a good dog - I am a good agility dog, and I just wish I could do better when it counts.
Cheri :-(

The entire family of Archana and Manav celebrated Gudi Padva in today's (23 March 2012) episode of Pavitra Rishta. It was also the day of engagement of Vinay and Purvi.
Vinay's mother come to meet Archana to talk about the dowry for her son's marriage. She demands heavy gold ornament in the wedding. Archana says that it won't be possible for her to manage the heavy gold ornaments for the wedding but Vinay's mother is not ready to compromise. Tej comes to know about it and asks Archana not to accept the demands of Vinay's mother.
Archana is worried for Purvi for the demands put forward by Vinay's mother cannot be met by her. Meanwhile Archana also overhearas Vinay's mother talking to someone that Purvi has left job and she agreed for Purvi and Vinay's wedding because of her job. This makes Archna feel bad and she starts crying. Her mother Sulochana consoles her.
Archana then talks to Vinay and her mother regarding this and a big argument starts and Vinay's family leaves Archana's house.

DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. This gene encodes a DEAD box protein of unknown function. It shows high transcription levels in 2 retinoblastoma cell lines and in tissues of neuroectodermal origin.
