This module examines the distinctive features of less developed economies. In the first part of the module we review theories that try to explain persistent poverty and inequality in those economies. Issues such as child labour, inequality, growth, poverty traps, measurement, and urban-rural migration are examined theoretically. The second half of the module examines current empirical literature through carefully examining journal articles and working papers. We will examine issues of behavioural economics, public infrastructure, and how government provision of programs effect child development. The empirical part of the module will focus on micro-econometric studies and will introduce students to many new techniques used to evaluate policy programs. The common thread in linking the theoretical and empirical parts of the module is the attempt to identify policy options and prescriptions that can be used to alleviate many burdens - such as poverty and inequality - faced by less developed economies.
Upon successful completion of this module students will have an in-depth understanding of some of the problems facing developing countries and a toolkit on analyze policy programs both theoretically and empirically. Students will also be able to carry out advanced research into, and to act as policy advisors on, issues related to development economics. They should also be capable of evaluating policies in the context of the subject matter of the course from an economic perspective.
Feedback for this module will occur through class meetings where we will go over the answers to problem sets and where you will be able to ask questions about your own method of solution; answers that will be posted on the website for the module that will give you written guidance on the appropriate method to approach the problems, assignments, and tests; and office hours where any additional questions can be addressed. You should be sure that you use these methods to understand how to improve your own performance.
This course will provide a range of employability skills. In particular you will gain academic skills, professional working skills, and external awareness. The models discussed in class with provide you with numeracy skills while the ability to do a term paper and read current research work will allow you to develop working skills. Finally, given the topic of the course, you will be exposed to issues facing people in other countries and differences between other cultures that will increase your external awareness.

Posted on April 3, 2017
When you think of the term "digital," you automatically think "digital = social media." You're off to a great start but there is a little more to it. A few things I wanted to break down about the digital sphere is what does it really mean and what should you know about it?
It's crazy to think that the apps we are so familiar with now: Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook, will be completely different in 3, 5, and 10 years. Think about when we are older and see our kids on their iPhones, will we be able to comprehend what ever their newest obsession is on social media? I hope so. *GASP* As I think about not being able to keep up with social media someday.
In today's day and age, brands cannot thrive if they don't have a digital presence. It is one thing having a Twitter account on behalf of a brand but what is the strategy behind it? What is the voice/ tone of the brand? Is it playful? Serious? Goofy? A combination? Having a digital presence on behalf of a brand means being up to speed with day to day news stories, and engaging yourself into conversation when appropriate. If an alarming dairy study came out and had the possibility to negatively effect the dairy industry, brands like Horizon Valley and Darigold might make a statement via social media channels where they see fit. A cereal brand MAY be able to enter the conversation because milk + cereal are essential to one another (obvi), but it might be trying a bit too hard if a poultry or chip brand tried to enter the conversation. Milk is to cereal as chips is to guac. Chips to milk? Mission abort.
Digital takeaways that I think are important may be different than someone who doesn't have a background in public relations. In fact, someone who has been in public relations for 10+ years might have a different outlook on all things digital and where it is going. But, as far as my millennial self goes, here are a few key takeaways.
And with that, it's a marathon and not a sprint. Take the realm of social media with a grain of salt. We as millennials can adapt to just about anything and if one thing is for certain, we can quickly adapt to digital change and transformation. Just last week, Facebook launched it's rendition of Facebook Stories, which is similar to SnapChat and Instagram features. "How will we keep up with all of our stories?" is a question I think many of us have along with how will our phone batteries withstand all of the different networks. I am curious to hear people's feedback at the very least. And in case you were wondering, Facebook creeping is no longer anonymous when it comes to FB Story.
If you have a passion for financial planning, colorful floors, or new and inventive cocktails, there is most likely someone out there who has worked with a brand who's core values match that of the brands. Amazon just had a soft launch of an influencer program into beta where the new program will offer influencers commission on products sold, but is not open to the public. So in short, if you consider yourself an influencer, there is most likely a brand that fits your image and what you like to write about. And in case you were wondering, Amazon influencers must submit an application to be included.
It is one thing to read a blog post about someone's travel experience. But what was the actual story of it? Brands are continuing to work with the customer and not just for the customer, which is well stated in HBR. The customer continues to be kept top of mind and at the forefront of conversations. What are the consumer's tastes changing to and how can brands quickly adapt? Digital strategy is essential to story telling and paralleling with the mind sets of consumers.
You would not believe the tools companies use on the back end to measure success, especially for digital campaigns. Facebook ads are measured in so many ways (think engagement, click throughs, point of sale). It is every brand's dream to be on the front page of the New York Times, and can you guess why? It has the ability to reach so many people. As of 2016, the NY Times has 72.9MM unique monthly viewers. Where do you even begin to measure the success of this kind of placement? Different measuring tools help answer different questions: How many people viewed the article, how many shared it, commented on it, how was SEO involved. One tool I recently learned about can track who viewed a certain page, clicked on the "donate now" hyperlink on the page, and then actually donated! 50% incredible and 50% creepy. I think you get the point.
What do you think is the next turning point in the digital space? I am curious to hear from my millennial pals and digital experts as well! Hope this helped clear up any questions you might have had about all things social media/ digital!

The days of students lugging backpacks stuffed full of books and folders may soon be at an end, thanks to the recent movement from traditional hardback textbooks to electronic books. Culver Community Schools Superintendent Brad Schuldt recently told WKVI that Apple has recently begun providing textbooks for the iPad, and as of last week, two textbooks that the high school currently uses have been ported to the iPad.
Schuldt said that they are very interested in gradually moving into the digital age with most, if not all, of their textbooks on the iPad, but it remains to be seen how fast book providers will release their books digitally.
Apple has set a limit on the maximum cost of an eBook at $14.99– significantly cheaper than the average cost of a textbook which can cost up to $120. The school has not yet decided on whether or not to have their students cover that cost.
A number of digital textbooks are already used by the school. When they purchased textbooks for this year, the companies bundled the textbooks with a digital copy as well, giving kids the chance to get adjusted to using a digital book rather than a hard copy.
This movement is likely to change the landscape of education dramatically in the near future, but as for now, the ball is in Apple's court to get as many textbooks as possible available for the iPad.

John Hunter Hospital, Newcastle, Australia
PURPOSE: To describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of all patients hospitalized with H1N1 2009 influenza in a defined urban population during influenza season, and to analyse risk factors for severity and intensive care unit (ICU) admission.
METHODS: Retrospective medical record review was performed of all patients with laboratory-confirmed H1N1 influenza, hospitalized in Newcastle, Australia between June and September 2009. Descriptive statistical analysis of aggregated data and intergroup comparisons by regression analysis were performed to look for predictors of greater length of hospital stay and ICU admission.
RESULTS: There was a total of 106 patients. 95% of hospital admissions occurred during July and August 2009, the peak winter months in Southern hemisphere. 34% of patients were children under 18 years. Only 7% were older than 65 years. 12 patients (17% of adults) were pregnant. 85% patients had an underlying medical condition and 44% had at least two such conditions.19% had radiographic findings of pneumonia on admission. Antiviral therapy was initiated in 73 patients (69%) at a median of 3 days after onset of illness. 18 patients (17%) were admitted to an ICU, of whom 8 required mechanical ventilation for a median period of 10 days and two required non-invasive ventilation. Four (4%) patients died. No pregnant patient required admission to ICU or died. Median length of hospital stay was 4 days. Patients with underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (odds ratio, 13.6; P=0.015) and hypertension (odds ratio, 8.3; P=0.002) had greater length of hospital stay. Chest radiographic changes of pneumonia (odds ratio, 4.03; P=0.016) at presentation carried a significantly greater risk for ICU admission.
CONCLUSION: COPD and hypertension predict a higher risk of prolonged hospitalization. Chest radiographic abnormalities of pneumonia at presentation predict greater risk for ICU admission.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: During influenza season, patients with chest radiographic abnormalities suggestive of pneumonia should be promptly evaluated and treated for H1N1 influenza as early anti-viral therapy may reduce the risk of ICU admission and death.

Woods Hole Science Center
Alternate Leg ID: ESTW 80-8
Area of Operations: Blake Escarpment, United States, North America, North Atlantic
Dates: October 18, 1980 to November 02, 1980
Objectives: Act as escort vessel during ALVIN/LULU operations. Study the morphology and map previously identified features at the top and base of the Blake Escarpment using seismic reflection profiles acquired within 30 mi. of the dive sites. Acquire marine magnetics data in the Blake Bahama Basin.
Type of Activity: Sea floor mapping
Information to be derived: Sea floor map
Summary: Overall data quality is good, acquiring one second penetration with the sparker and greater than 2 seconds penetration with the airgun. The data indicate that the Blake Escarpment is an extremely steep slope. Because of the steep slope reflections from the surface of the escarpment are usually lost, or obscured by diffractions and side echoes. Reflectors in the Blake Bahama Basin are continuous and nearly parallel, sometimes onlapping a variable size erosional bench at the base of the Blake Escarpment. The character of reflectors on the Blake Plateau is variable suggesting alternate periods of erosion, deposition and reef growth. 1800 km airgun data; 1930 km sparker data; 1885 km magnetics data; 2080 km 3.5 kHz data; 1360 km 12 kHz data.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Kenny Rogers is proving that there is life after 40.
Rogers pitched a six-hitter, running his scoreless streak to 30 innings in the Texas Rangers' 5-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.
"Today we didn't really have much of a chance," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Kenny Rogers was the story. He dominated. He changed speeds and located the ball and I guess that's why he's the hottest pitcher in the game right now. He's on one of those rolls and we couldn't do much with him."
Rogers (4-2) has won his last four starts and has not allowed a run since the sixth inning of a 3-2 loss to Tampa Bay on April 21. It is the longest streak in the majors since Minnesota's Johan Santana threw 33 consecutive shutout innings from Aug. 28 to Sept. 24 last season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. It is also Rogers' longest run since his team-record streak of 39 innings in 1995.
The 40-year-old left-hander threw 104 pitches and did not allow a runner past first until the ninth in a dominating performance against one of his former teams.
"I think he's throwing the ball awesome," said Rangers pitching coach Orel Hershiser, who set the major-league record with his 59-inning streak in 1988. "It's exciting to watch. ... He's not even breaking a sweat."
Rogers did not speak to the media.
Just like the night before, the Twins received a strong start from their starting pitcher before the Rangers manufactured a big inning.
Carlos Silva cruised through the first four innings, allowing just two hits and a walk. He received some help from his defense, including a strong throw from right fielder Jacque Jones that caught Mark Teixeira trying to stretch a single into a double in the fourth, and a couple of double plays, but the Rangers finally scored on him in the fifth.
Texas scored four runs on six singles, including Sandy Alomar Jr.'s bases-loaded hit that scored Alfonso Soriano and Laynce Nix. David Dellucci and Michael Young also had run-scoring singles in the inning to help Texas to a 4-0 lead.
That was more than enough for Rogers, who is enjoying a bit of a renaissance late in his career after winning 18 games last season.
"It seems like he can go forever," Texas third baseman Hank Blalock said. "He's been the staple of our rotation."
He kept the Twins off-balance with a dazzling array of off-speed pitches and pinpoint location. After starting the season with two no-decisions and two losses, he has been brilliant.
Rogers threw seven scoreless innings to beat Cleveland on Sunday, eight shutout innings against Oakland on May 2 and six against Seattle on April 27. He surpassed this season's previous high of 24 consecutive scoreless innings, done by Houston's Roger Clemens and Florida's Dontrelle Willis.
"He came into spring training on a mission," Hershiser said. "I think he wants to continue to pitch and I think he's proven his point that he can still pitch."
It was another tough opponent for Silva, who was beaten by Baltimore's Daniel Cabrera his last time out. Cabrera struck out 11 and didn't allow a run in that game, and while Rogers was nowhere near as overpowering, he was just as effective.
"That was unbelievable," Silva said of Rogers, who is 14 years his elder. "Today he did whatever he wanted to do."
Silva (2-2) gave up four runs and nine hits, struck out three and walked one in seven innings.
"I just try to stay in the game," Silva said after his second consecutive start with no run support. "That's the only thing I can do. I felt very good. The runs are going to come, that's just how baseball is."
Young was 2-for-4 for Texas, which was ordinary for most of the game, save for the big fifth inning. Soriano hit a solo homer, his 11th of the season, in the ninth off of Kyle Lohse.
Texas has won five road games in a row for the first time since June 2002.
Matthew LeCroy was 2-for-3 for the Twins, who have lost four of their last five games.
- Twins CF Torii Hunter was held out of Saturday night's game with a sore right wrist. Hunter was injured when he collided with SS Jason Bartlett on a shallow fly ball in Friday night's game. Gardenhire said Hunter is day-to-day.
- Twins reliever Grant Balfour had ligament replacement surgery on his right elbow on Friday. "Everything went well," Gardenhire said.
- Rangers LF Gary Matthews Jr. left the game in the seventh clutching his right hamstring after trying to beat out a groundout to first. He was replaced by Kevin Mench, who made a diving catch in the ninth to preserve the shutout. Rangers manager Buck Showalter said it is likely that Matthews is headed to the disabled list.

Dennis Lobban was convicted in June 1988 of being one of three robbers who broke into Tosh's home in Kingston, killing the musician and two of his friends, and injuring three others. Tosh sprang to international fame as the guitarist with the Wailers, co-writing reggae classics like "Get Up, Stand Up" with Bob Marley.
In a test case which may affect trial procedures on the Caribbean island, Lobban, 40, claims the judge wrongly allowed the jury to hear prejudicial legal submissions which should have been argued in the jurors' absence. Five Law Lords, making up the Privy Council panel - the final court of appeal for 16 Commonwealth countries - were also told the judge wrongly allowed hearsay evidence.
Lobban has always maintained his innocence and yesterday the Privy Council was told his conviction should be quashed.
At the end of the murder trial and before the jury had retired, the court heard legal argument that Lobban's co- accused - a man called Russell - had no case to answer. Such submissions are never made in a UK court in front of a jury because any argumentor comment, or decision by the judge may influence the jury. Also, a statement from Russell, in which he says he recognised Lobban as one of the killers from a newspaper article, was presented to the jury.
The jury convicted Lobban. But Peter Thornton QC, for Lobban, told the Council that the last thing the jury had "ringing in their ears" was Russell's statement, which amounted to hearsay evidence.
Lobban has spent the last seven years on Jamaica's infamous death row, where conditions were deemed so cruel that the Privy Council a year ago reprieved all who had been there for more than five years, including Lobban. But according to his legal advisers, the Jamaican authorities have yet to implement the reprieve because of other legal complications.
Lobban is one of three menclaiming to have been the victim of such an injustice. The appeals of Nigel Neil, convicted in 1990, and Rupert Crossdale, convicted in 1989, are being heard alongside that of Lobban.
Saul Lehrfreund, a human rights adviser for Simons Muirhead and Burton, the solicitors who represent 70 death row prisoners in the Commonwealth including Lobban, said success in this case "will lead to fairer trials in a country where a miscarriage of justice can result in the death penalty".

Margaret Boyett - Teacher - Jailed After Forcing Mentally Disabled Student To Repeatedly Punch Himself In Head
Las Vegas, Nevada (The Weekly Vice) - Margaret Boyett, a 41-year-old teacher at West Prep Academy was jailed Tuesday after she allegedly forced a special needs student to repeatedly punch himself in the head.
According to Clark County police - Boyett lost control and attacked a mentally disabled student, forcing a teacher's aid who witnessed the attack to physically intervene.
Investigators say Boyett was angry last month when she grabbed the student's wrist and then forced him to strike himself in the head 7 or 8 times.
Witnesses say Boyett then attempted to slap the student before demanding that he "apologize" for his behavior.
A teacher's aid standing nearby shouted at Boyett to stop. When that didn't work, she reportedly grabbed Boyett's arm to restrain her and then pulled the student away - .
Court documents say that due to the student's disability, he was "unable to comprehend the event and form a statement."
Brooks was booked into the Clark County Jail on charges of child abuse and coercion. Bail in her case was set at $6,000.

LDU de Quito is an Ecuadorian club playing in the country's top division, the Serie A. The team plays home games at the Liga Deportiva Universitaria Stadium, which has a capacity of up to 55,104. In the 2012 season, the team ranked 3rd in the Serie A table and lost the second-place play-off against Emelec both when playing at home and when playing away.
These are the two new kits that the club will be using in the 2013 campaign. The kits are manufactured by Umbro and launched under the motto Rey de Copa (King of Cups). The home shirt has a white base colour and it has a polo shirt style. The away shirt is navy blue with a touch of light blue on the collar and on the sleeve edges, maintaining the same polo shirt style.
Posted on January 25, 2013
I'd like to know where is it possible to buy this shirt
Always amusing how people will denounce these type of kit but when it was an England shirt they rave about it….

The above may look like England and Man City away shirts, but I agree with Augustus, these are clean, tidy and traditional looking, perfect in my opinion. As for Nike making England shirts, I would wait until you have seen the shirt before you right Umbro off as boring.
Better than when Nike does a plain design, but fewer people complain then because Nike is more established.
Looking at these, I'm glad England arent made by Umbro anymore.. There boring.
I'd much rather have my club run out in something like that than an Airness monstrosity.

My great Grandfather moved here around 1914 and we have pictures of the family at the house, plus a few sketches by my Great great Uncle, however I can find no trace of this property from internet searches. From images that we have, it is very similar in style to the house on the corner of Barnett Wood Lane and Skinners Lane. Does anyone have any information as to the history of either this property or Skinners Lane. I know from family documents that by 1925 the family had moved from this address and my father believes that the property no longer exists, either bombed or fire, but we're not sure where this information came from. Any help would be gratefully received. Carol Walkley

A pregnancy rumor circulated on the net these days.
The How I Met Your Mother actress was recently photographed alongside her husband, Alexis Denisof and their daughter, Satyan, at a party in Malibu .
And photos showed what looked like an early pregnancy.
However, Hannigan took to Twitter to deny rumors.
"NO, I'm not pregnant! I just ate too much carnival food, that time of the month, hurt my back & couldn't suck my gut in, & need 2 do cardio," she wrote, adding, "And I'm NEVER gonna wear that shirt again!!!"
Alyson gave birth to her first daughter Satyan on March 24, 2009 , the day of his 35th birthday.

Garden Party
Open your pantry or refrigerator. Pick up a fruit or vegetable, a jar of honey, or a block of cheese. Without looking at the label, quick, where was that item grown or produced? Who planted it? How did it get to the store where you bought it? OK -- take a look. Your honey may be from Argentina, your tomatoes may be from Mexico, and your cheese may say "Product of Spain," but it's unlikely that the label will have further information about how your food was grown, harvested, processed and transported. If you're ready to know more about where your food comes from and how to find and support North Texas food producers, join the Chefs for Farmers dinner, an event that showcases local chefs and local food. Proceeds benefit The Family Place, which helps victims of domestic violence. The cafeteria-style meal lets participants sample two gourmet dishes from each chef while enjoying music from DJs Jennifer Miller and Paul Paredes beginning at 4 p.m. Sunday at Highland Park Cafeteria, 1200 N. Buckner Blvd. Tickets are $85. For more information, visit chefsforfarmers.com or visit prekindle.com to purchase tickets.

Pediatric CT scans Raise the Risk of Brain Cancer, Leukemia Later in LifeJun 7, 2012 | Parker Waichman LLP
Pediatric CT scans raise the risks posed by brain cancer or leukemia later in life.
According to new research published in The Lancet, a child who receives several CT scans through their early years is more likely to develop those life-threatening diseases and although the risk is relatively low overall, the increasing use of these image tests on children in recent years could elevate those risks.
Hospitals and physicians are prescribing more CT scans for a variety of reasons, either because it's absolutely necessary, a physician feels compelled to conduct the tests because the hospital has it available, a patient's insurance company will pay for it, and they fear potential legal trouble in the future. Other recent studies have suggested that many CT scans administered, especially to children, are unnecessary; that many doctors are replacing bedside care with a wealth of scans and image tests.
An AP report highlights the results of a new study from researchers at Newcastle University in the U.K. which followed more than 180,000 recipients of a CT scan in a British hospital between 1985 and 2002 until 2008. During that time, 74 had developed leukemia and another 135 had brain tumors.
Rather than focusing on the frequency of the scans, this research focused on the amount of radiation delivered during them. The research suggests that most of the CT scans performed on the children included in the study were on their head. CT scans are most often ordered on children suffering head, neck, and spine injuries, or neurological disorders. And while there did not appear to be issue with the number of CT scans ordered, there does appear to be confusion on how much radiation to administer to a child receiving a scan.
Radiation exposure has different effects on different parts of the body and in children, the dangers of radiation overexposure are amplified, especially involving scans on vital regions of the body like the head and brain. The latest British study suggests the "risk of brain tumors was tripled if children had two to three scans and the risk of leukemia was tripled with five to 10 scans."
In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration has recently ordered the makers of CT scan devices to clearly indicate the dangers of radiation exposure to children and to provide clear instructions and training on the use of their devices with pediatric patients. If a child were to receive an adult's dose of radiation for a CT scan, it could impact their risk of developing cancer later in life. If a child receives a few scans during their developing years, the risk only increases. In addition to these new orders, the FDA has also asked device makers to create new products that require less radiation, especially for a pediatric setting.
Parents have been urged to ask questions prior to their child receiving a CT scan, including whether the image test is absolutely necessary.

Bahh don't come to Florida until late March, and only once. Lame!
Anyway just to make things exciting I have been thinking. Wouldn't be surprised if a forward is dealt too in a trade with a D man too. The forward I'm thinking could possibly be Zubrus as he's a UFA, and doesn't have a no trade clause. He also would have some value aside from guys like Zajac, and Clarkson who I'd say Lou hopes to keep. If Zubrus were dealt along with a defenseman, I wouldn't expect to just be getting some Joe Schmo either.
There are a lot of reasons why I could see Zubrus not going like being a mentor to Matteau when he makes it up, and being a perfect player in Deboer's system. However there's no denying that if Lou finds a good forward option for trade, and the other team wants a forward back, Zubrus would be a candidate. Just a thought I'm putting on the table.

Who is the instructor? What is he/she like? These are typical questions among students getting ready to start a new course. In a course that is delivered completely online it is unlikely you will get the opportunity to meet your students in person. How would your online students describe you?
Social presence in online courses has been defined in different ways, but I think this description from Tarleton State University faculty members, Credence Baker and Jennifer Edwards, is a good place to start. Social presence is "the feeling that group members communicate with people instead of impersonal objects. As communication channels are restricted, social presence may decrease. When social presence is low within a group, group members often feel disconnected and cohesion levels are low. When social presence is high, however, each group member has the feeling of joint involvement."
Steven Aragon, assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, states [PDF] that the goal of developing a sense of social presence in a course is "to create a level of comfort in which people feel at ease around the instructor and the other participants." Studies conducted by a variety of higher education researchers are finding that an instructor's online presence can affect overall student satisfaction and learning achievement, as well as community building [PDF].
Social Presence Strategies
As the instructor, you set the tone for your course and it's all about how and when you communicate. The steps you take to create your social presence will function as a model upon which the other members of your course's learning community, your students, will create their social presence as well. How can you communicate your social presence online?
- Introduce yourself. This may seem basic, but is often overlooked and can make a huge difference in how your students get to know you online. Most online course sites provide some sort of "meet your instructor" template. Complete this as thoroughly as possible and consider augmenting with audio or video recordings, as well as a photo. It's always nice to put faces to your students' names and they will likely appreciate "seeing" you as well.
- Set up your own webpage. Your course site may limit what you can post in terms of space available and format, but you can usually provide a link. Do you already have a "home" website, page, or professional social networking account? Consider providing this to your students. Steven Berg, associate professor at Schoolcraft College and a contributor to HASTAC.org, recently polled his students to find out what information they would like to see on an instructor's web page. Among the ideas suggested were "merging 'personal' and 'professional' information" and "links to Facebook and other social networking" sites in which you are active. Where are you active in a professional capacity? Choose to share only those profiles that are most appropriate for students and beware of sharing too much personal information. You may even want to establish separate accounts for communicating with students and friends and family.
- Contribute to course discussions. The threaded discussion format can be challenging to negotiate, especially in courses with large numbers of students. It is important, however, for you as the instructor to be active in these forums as a facilitator. Hong Wang, in an article from Faculty Focus, recommends several techniques for instructor engagement, including "group and class discussions, having a group leader facilitate the group discussion" and "summarizing the group discussion." In courses that rely heavily on discussion forums for interaction, your activity will contribute to student perception that you are "there" and present in the course, and engaged with the content right alongside them.
- Provide prompts and transitions. Curt Bonk, professor at Indiana University, recommends several strategies for fostering social presence that also help to create a flow of communication throughout the course [video]. Bonk's ideas include recapping events, announcing next steps, and using email for critical points and reminders. This kind of activity can also help to transition students from one unit to the next, and give you the opportunity to address common questions and concerns along the way.
- Be available. Provide ways for students to contact you both within and outside of the course. Establish virtual office hours, make use of email, and consider different types of synchronous communication, such as text chat or instant messaging, video conferencing, and even the telephone. Let students know when and where you are available, and provide clear expectations for when you will respond to their inquiries.
- Be yourself. In addition to the more official and formal communication requirements of an academic course, look for places in which you can let your personality come through, show your sense of humor, and share stories about your experiences. Connect with your students as a fellow learner. Bonk recommends adopting a conversational tone and finding ways to include information about events you are involved in, such as conferences, and current interests including articles you are reading.
Social Presence Planning
There's no question about it; these techniques take time and effort to implement successfully. Consider blocking specific time to engage in these social presence activities when planning your schedule for the upcoming term. Create your own social presence task list – by term, topic, or week – to ensure that you are including communication and community-building strategies throughout the course.
Some instructors find these efforts more intuitive and easily applied than others, as is also the case in face-to-face communication strategies. It takes practice and finding the 'right' balance between being actively engaged and overwhelming your students is part of the challenge. Give yourself the latitude to try a few new techniques and see what works best for you and your students.
Reach out to the faculty development and support groups at your school to find out more about available workshops, materials, and guidance. And look for other online instructors – in your personal learning network, at conferences, through professional groups and forums – who are successfully building social presence and identify techniques and strategies that inspire you.

The Frog Princess (2002)
by E. D. Baker
No current Talk conversations about this book.
My wife read the whole series and compared them to [a:Patricia C. Wrede|36122|Patricia C. Wrede|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1215652809p2/36122.jpg] and her [b:The Enchanted Forest Chronicles|86238|The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, #1-4)|Patricia C. Wrede|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328875611s/86238.jpg|164046] series.
A young princess kisses an enchanted frog and turns into one herself. All about her adventures with Frog Boy as they try to turn back in Prince and Princess.
Not a perfect book, but bewitching. (pun intended). I've decided I want something light and cozy, and I saw that my library has the latest in the series, so I checked them all out at once. This one is 3.5 stars of spun sugar, rounded down because the next one is written a bit more skillfully & gracefully.
Hm. Definitely cute and creative. The characters were none too rich, but there were enough of them to keep my interest (and none were cardboard). I was going to say I don't feel compelled to read more in the series, but I see that this is her lowest-rated book. So maybe I will, if I can find them. A pleasant hour or two.
Story seems to consist of a dumb frog prince getting the smart and good princess into trouble and her using the friends she meets on the way to get them out of it, again and again. The characters show little depth in their actions; their only flaws are the ones the author first tells us about, and then hits us over the head with constantly. I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone looking for a complex read or good world-building. This is strictly a fluff read for girls that crave formulaic fantasy. Ages 8 to 10.
Emma is a clumsy awkward princess who does not want to marry the vain Prince Jorge. She sneaks away from the palace to avoid visiting with him an meets a talking frog who claims to have been Prince Eadric under a spell. He convinces Emma to kiss him to lift the spell but she too turns into a frog. Only the witch who cast the spell can set it right. They go in search of the witch but get caught by another witch who intends to use their body parts in a spell. They manage to escape with the help of the witch's captive bat and get to Emma's magic-practicing aunt to see if she can help. In the process, Emma realizes she has magic capabilities herself which lead to Emma and Eadric becoming their true selves. Fairly tame YA; at most Eadric is lecherous about getting more kisses from Emma.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0439591015, Paperback)I knelt on the ground at the edge of the pond. With a mighty leap, the frog landed on the ground beside me and puckered his lips. "Wait a minute!" I said, drawing back. The frog look distressed. "You haven't changed your mind, have you?" "No, no, it's just that, well, here." Fumbling in the small pouch attached to the waist of my gown, I found an embroidered handkerchief. I reached out and gently patted the frog's mouth clean. "You had dried fly feet stuck to your lips," I said, shuddering. "All right, let's try again." This time the kiss went without a hitch.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:25:18 -0400)
After reluctantly kissing a frog, an awkward, fourteen-year-old princess suddenly finds herself a frog, too, and sets off with the prince to seek the means--and the self-confidence--to become human again.

If the bear kills you then the wardens are going to kill the bear. We need to save the bears, we have plenty of people.
I would add the 'citizens united' ruling that allows big corporate to foul the airwaves and corrupt the political process with their big bucks to make it all 'worthwhile.'
When Burns would get earmarks for Montana projects he would kick a quarter of the money to lobbyists. In the case of the new classroom facility on the MSU campus, named for Burns, that kick was worth a lot of money that MSU could have used more efficiently than lobbyists who did nothing to acquire that money. The lobbyist activity with Burns was just one of the sticky issues that hurt his campaign, others like the battle with the firefighters were more problematic. But, what really done him in was nothing he did, it was the pot issue on the ballot in Missoula that brought out a lot of first time voters who remembered the Pearl Jam concert and voted for Tester because he was the music teacher of the bass player that swung the entire election for Tester. Burns was supposed to have huge majorities in Billings and Bozeman that didn't materialize.
It is funny how consistently the lobbyists misrepresented their profession. It looks like Rehberg was indeed caught lying for a political advantage. It probably worked for those who would vote for him anyway.
I also think that Rehberg should have the Koch brothers and Karl Rove pay to move the Jesus statue to his front yard or any other private property.
We have seen over the years when candidates who don't take any lobbyist money don't get elected. Tester has done an awesome job on many fronts, including Vets and jobs. Rehberg has done nothing and even has many wacko efforts out there, we can expect him to cut Social Security and Veteran's benefits if he is elected. I have made a contibution to Tester and I am not a lobbyist nor ever been one. Maybe GO you can enlighten us on the pitfalls of taking money from lobbyists and what it really means. I know Tester appreciates good beer and drinks responsibly, whereas I don't think Rehberg is responsible ever.
What about Rehberg? Without Karl Rove's money he wouldn't be in this race for the Senate.


text: X-bracing refers to the pattern of the strips of wood used in luthierie to strengthen the top of an acoustic guitar. The term derives from the pattern of the main bracing on the inside surface of the guitar's top. X-bracing was invented in the 1850s by C.F. Martin & Co to serve the needs of the modern steel-string guitar, as opposed to the traditional fan bracing of the classical guitar. This pattern comprises two main braces running in an "X" from the upper bout to the lower bout, with the "X" crossing somewhere between the soundhole and the bridge. There are several auxiliary braces as well. Bracing serves two seemingly disparate functions: Strengthen the top of the guitar in order to accommodate the 185lbs (approximately) of constant tension it must endure, while allowing the top to vibrate sufficiently to produce tone. A top thick enough to withstand the pressure could not vibrate properly. Interestingly enough, bracing also plays a major role in determining the tone of a guitar based on placement, pattern, and physical shape. In many ways, these elements affect the final tone of the instrument as much as the actual tonewood.

Wyclef can't appeal Haiti poll exclusion: council
By Joseph Guyler Delva
PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - A ruling by Haiti's electoral council that disqualified hip-hop star Wyclef Jean from running for the presidency is final and cannot be appealed, a council lawyer said on Tuesday.
The Haitian-born and U.S.-based singer-songwriter said on Sunday he would appeal against the provisional electoral council's decision on Friday which rejected his candidacy for the November 28 election in the poorest state in the Americas.
Council officials said Jean, who left his homeland with his family at the age of 9 to live in the United States, did not meet residency requirements.
The 40-year-old musical celebrity has an enthusiastic youth following in Haiti and the dispute over his candidacy has raised some fears of tensions that could disrupt the country's rebuilding after a devastating earthquake in January.
But apart from some small pro-Jean protests, the capital Port-au-Prince has remained largely calm and quiet.
Jean initially accepted the ruling and asked supporters to do the same. He has since launched a barrage of accusations via Twitter, Facebook and statements to U.S. media against the council, calling it corrupt and politically motivated.
Samuel Pierre of the council's legal department told Reuters that, under article 191 of Haiti's electoral law, rulings by the election authority's disputes tribunal are definitive and cannot be appealed.
"Therefore there is absolutely no possibility for Wyclef Jean to be added to the list of candidates approved to run in the next presidential elections," Pierre said. "So it's over." Continued...

I've been working on a small android game project in my spare time using AndEngine and I've noticed tutorials and guides are fairly sparse, so I thought I'd do a few small blog posts to show how to do a few basic things. In this one I'll give a quick run through on how to get up and running with the latest version of AndEngine.
As of writing, the latest version of AndEngine can be found on GitHub at here. But first you're going to need Eclipse set up and ready to go for Android, for which there are many excellent guides such as this one, it's pretty straight-forward, especially if you don't already have Eclipse installed- so go do that, and I'll wait here.
Done? Awesome. Next up you're gonna want to clone the AndEngine git repo, so you're going to need Git. If you're on Mac or Linux just grab it from your repositories, if you're on Windows try checking out this (If anyone has any better recommendations for Git with Windows please say so :)). When you open up Eclipse it'll ask you where you want your workspace to be, just clone the AndEngine git repo into there, on Ubuntu for me it looked something like this from the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/nicolasgramlich/AndEngine.git
"https://github.com/nicolasgramlich/AndEngine.git" is the URL of the repo you want to clone.
Then open up Eclipse in that workspace, and change the Java perspective through:
Window → Open Perspective → Java.
We also want to show the project explorer if it's not there already, which we can do through:
Window → Show View → Project Explorer.
Now let's go and import our AndEngine project from earlier:
File → Import
This'll bring up a dialogue that looks something like this:
Select "Existing Projects into Workspace" and hit next. Now you need to choose the root directory to search for the AndEngine Project so click Browse and navigate to your Workspace. You should now see AndEngine pop up in the space below, tick the box next to it and hit finish.
Now AndEngine should pop up in your project manager. Right click on it and go to Properties, you need to set the Project Build Target to the version with the highest API level you have, at the time of writing AndEngine wanted at least API level 16. Note: This doesn't mean that AndEngine games won't run on older devices, it just needs this level to compile. I've run games I've made on Froyo (2.2) devices even though it needed 4.1+ to compile the AndEngine library. You'll also need to set your Java Compiler level to 1.6 or 1.5. Check out the shots below for both of these steps.
Hopefully, with all that done, Eclipse should have auto-built your AndEngine JAR file, and you should be good to go. If you look in the bin directory in the project explorer you should see "andengine.jar".
Now we want to create a new Android Project to test out AndEngine, so go to File -> New Project.
Choose a name and make sure the Minimum required SDK is what you'd like it to be able to run on, and leave the target SDK and Compile with SDK reasonably new. All emulator-based testing will have to be done on ICS at least, as this is the only version of the emulator which supports hardware accelerated graphics.
Hit next and uncheck "Create custom launcher icon", and hit next again. Just keep hitting next until you can hit finish.
You should be able to get to your MainActivity.java file from the side view now.
Now we just want to open that file up and change its super class to SimpleBaseGameActivity.
public class MainActivity extends SimpleBaseGameActivity {
After having done that, we should see a beautiful squiggly red line. This is of course because we haven't added AndEngine to our project yet. So just copy your andengine.jar file from the bin directory of the AndEngine project and into the lib directory of our new game.
Now you should be able to mouse over "SimpleBaseGameActivity" in the editor and a little popup should come up.
Click on "Import 'SimpleBaseGameActivity' (org.andengine.ui.activity)" and that should clear up our little red line problem … and introduce a new one! MainActivity should be underlined now, so mouse over that and choose "Add unimplemented methods" and you should get:
public EngineOptions onCreateEngineOptions() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
protected void onCreateResources() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
protected Scene onCreateScene() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
For the sake of simplicity, I'll just give you some code to get a simple red screen going. (Make sure you don't delete your package line if you're copying and pasting).
import org.andengine.engine.camera.Camera;
import org.andengine.engine.options.EngineOptions;
import org.andengine.engine.options.ScreenOrientation;
import org.andengine.engine.options.resolutionpolicy.RatioResolutionPolicy;
import org.andengine.entity.scene.Scene;
import org.andengine.entity.scene.background.Background;
import org.andengine.ui.activity.SimpleBaseGameActivity;
import android.util.DisplayMetrics;
public class MainActivity extends SimpleBaseGameActivity {
Camera mCamera;
Scene mScene;
public EngineOptions onCreateEngineOptions()
DisplayMetrics metrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
int width = metrics.widthPixels;
int height = metrics.heightPixels;
mCamera = new Camera(0, 0, width, height);
return new EngineOptions(true, ScreenOrientation.LANDSCAPE_FIXED,
new RatioResolutionPolicy(width, height), mCamera);
protected Scene onCreateScene() {
mScene = new Scene();
mScene.setBackground(new Background(1, 0, 0));
return mScene;
protected void onCreateResources() {}
Now we need an AVD to run this on. Click on the little AVD button in the toolbar of Eclipse () and click "New". I set mine up like this:
Make sure you have "Use Host GPU" checked, if you don't you'll get an error about EGLConfig as it's a requirement for GLES2 I believe and you'll have issues if your AVD isn't set up to use it. An annoying trade off here is that you cannot have Snapshot enabled which means starting up your AVD will be slow every time. 🙁
Now you've created your AVD you can click Start and close the AVD window. Once your AVD is up and running press the green play button to get going. Run as an Android application, and away you go. If all went according to plan you should be greeted by a blindingly bright red screen in the AVD.
Oh, and CTRL+F11 changes to Landscape mode. Good luck!

Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic was pleased jet lag did not force his side out of the Capital One Cup at Leeds last night.
The Blues travelled to West Yorkshire with 6,000 miles already clocked up over recent days following their return from Club World Cup duty in Japan, and it looked as though that weariness would cost them when Luciano Becchio gave the npower Championship side a first-half lead.
But Chelsea found a second wind after the break, with Ivanovic one of five different scorers as Rafael Benitez's men booked a semi-final date with Swansea.
It was a resounding way for the European champions to respond to their Club World Cup final loss on Sunday but, according to Ivanovic, they were worried it would not turn out that way.
"Leeds was a very difficult game which came at a very difficult moment for us. We didn't have a lot of time to adapt," he said.
"We were tired and that is why it was a little scary for us at the beginning. We didn't know how we were going to feel at the start of the game, but now we have to look forward.
"We have to recover well because we still feel the strain from Japan and we will probably still be adapting a week after coming back."
Ivanovic was joined on the scoresheet by Juan Mata, Victor Moses, Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres as Leeds, old and bitter rivals of Chelsea, were put to bed.
A two-legged tie with Swansea was then served up and Chelsea are the near-unbackable favourites to win a competition which sees Aston Villa and Bradford drawn together in the other semi-final.
According to Ivanovic, though, having already spurned the chance to win the Community Shield, Champions League and Club World Cup this season, Chelsea have to take everything seriously from here on in.
"Swansea is a different team to other ones, they like to play," he added.
"We are at home in the first leg so we know we have to be on top of them and try to get a good result to make the final.
"This is our chance. We have gone far in this competition, we have to be ready and do everything to win it.
"We have missed out on three trophies this season and don't want to make it a fourth. But we shouldn't think any more about that, you have to deserve to win them."
The defeat to Corinthians in Yokohama inevitably made waves with regard to the direction Chelsea are going in, and Ivanovic knows how important last night's win was as a result.
"I think it was very important for us to show a reaction after the disappointment of what happened in Sunday's game. But this is just one game," he said.
"We have to be more focused and stay like that in every game and try to win the next couple of matches. It is only winning game-by-game that we can get back our mentality and be strong like we were before."
For Leeds, attention now returns to their npower Championship campaign which has been revived by four wins from their last five games.
The arrival of loan players Alan Tate and Jerome Thomas, as well as the proposed takeover of the club by GFH Capital - due to be completed tomorrow - have changed the complexion of the club's season.
Those inside Elland Road now feel a play-off place is attainable and manager Neil Warnock is desperate to unlock the potential he sees in the former Champions League semi-finalists.
"I've never heard anything like the noise when the first goal went in," he said.
"It should be like that here every week. It was amazing to listen to that noise. It shows what can be done at a club like this.
"Goodness knows what European nights must have been like because it was an amazing atmosphere.
"If we can get things right here, there's no reason why we can't push to have that every week. It's a super club with the crowds we can get isn't it?"

One Last Time(1973)
A novel by Mark Carrel
Visiting Galloway's flat in London, Inspector Merritt had an outrageous proposition to offer him: he was to go to America to steal paintings originally stolen from London's Bedford Art Gallery. Galloway could keep the huge amount of money involved, providing he could re-steal the paintings, out-smart the American police and the gangsters who had the paintings, get that money, and return to London. He accepts the challenge and manages to succeed - but not before some uncomfortably close calls.

I had been combing this particular stretch of the Kent coast on and off for weeks, enjoying the peaceful solitude of walking the shoreline on cold winter days and making photographs from some of the bizarre and beautiful objects I came across. The gull, sitting on a nest of fishermen's gloves, made probably the most interesting image of a series that included simple clusters of pebbles, unidentified plastic abstracts and the extraordinary skeletal remains of a hedgehog.
This might sound like a peculiar recreation, but I am not alone in my love of rummaging along the strand line of Britain's coast. Most of us of have dabbled in a spot of beachcombing at one time or another. We often do it without thinking, casually kicking at the flotsam and jetsam as we walk along the shore and occasionally pocketing something that catches the eye. How many of us have gone home after a day at the beach clutching an unusual pebble, shell or piece of driftwood and put it on a mantelpiece for no other reason than it is an interesting object that reminds us of the sea?
For some serious beachcombing, however, you need to head for the beach after there's been a big on-shore wind. The resultant swell often churns up what lies hidden on the seabed, and the winds can carry oceanic offal in from all over the world. Even in the UK you can stumble across vegetation as exotic as the seabean (huge polished seeds that wash down rivers from tropical forests into the sea and can still be germinated after years spent afloat). Or what about some of the lost cargo that is left bobbing about? The five million pieces of Lego, for example, that were lost overboard when the Tokio Express was hit by a rogue wave off Land's End last year. More intriguing still, some of Britain's beaches regularly produce beautiful nuggets of ancient amber.
Of course much of what you will come across will be everyday litter and marine junk. But every now and then something extraordinary washes in. On a recent trip to the Outer Hebrides, in Scotland, I came across one such find in the village of Bragar on the remote west coast of Lewis. Locals talk of a calm autumn evening in 1921 when a few local boys spotted what they thought was the shining hull of an upturned ship far out at sea. The sighting was ignored at first, but by the morning a crowd had gathered along the shore to find that "the ship" was an 85-foot blue whale with the fatal harpoon still stuck in its back.
After some wrangling over how best to deal with the carcass, the whale's blubber was melted into oil and the rest disposed of. Only the enormous jaw bone and the harpoon were kept, erected as a gate in the garden of the local postmaster's house in remembrance of this magnificent specimen.
Stories of fascinating finds washed in by the Gulf Stream and the persistent westerlies can be heard all along the beautiful shores of the Outer Hebrides. Local crofter John MacFarlane told me of the St Kilda mailbox he had once found while combing the north-west coast of Lewis. Shaped like a crude toy boat, the two-foot long piece of wood had what looked like an old first aid box fixed to it on which were written the words "Open Me". Inside were four stamped letters and 2s 6d in old money as payment for whoever found and posted them. It was a device used for centuries by Britain's most isolated community which, until 1930, lived out on the St Kilda archipelago 60 miles west of Lewis - a distance covered in less than a week by a mailbox.
But the most famous find, and the one that confirms the Western Isles as the UK's beachcombing capital, can be found in the bar of The Politician on the tiny island of Eriskay. Displayed with other related memorabilia are two of the original bottles of whisky that washed ashore in 1941 after the SS Politician sank along with its cargo of bicycle parts and 243,000 bottles of whisky en route to Jamaica. The story inspired Compton Mackenzie's book Whisky Galore, which in turn has inspired a string of headlines as ocean-going paraphernalia turned up over the years. The last being the inevitable "Planks galore" when thousands of ready-to-use timber lengths floated in earlier this year prompting a flurry of fence-building by the local crofters.
At the other end of the country, in Cornwall, there are people making more than just fences out of what the sea spits out. Professional beachcombers Rob and Nicky Parkyn run a business selling furniture and domestic accessories made from what they find. Visitors to the Fearless Flotsam shop in Port Isaac can buy lamps, fruit bowls, clocks, mobiles and fridge magnets, all fashioned from marine debris.
They find all their materials along a 10- mile stretch of local coastline. "The sea sorts it all out for you," explained Nicky. "We know where to go if we want plastic, driftwood, shoes, polystyrene, whatever."
Less experienced beachcombers may have to search a little harder. You could be lucky wherever you look, of course. But ocean currents, weather patterns and tidal flow make certain areas more productive than others. Some of these hotspots are listed by the Marine Conservation Society which publishes an annual Beachwatch report detailing the quantity and type of debris found at 210 locations around the UK coast. The results are extraordinary. Over the four-day survey, around 260,000 items were recorded with one particular mile of coast yielding as many as 17,000.
So when the weather turns rough this winter, wrap up warm and head beady- eyed for the beach. You probably won't find a blue whale, but even if you did strike lucky, it still wouldn't fit on your mantelpiece.

Today, the NY Times is running an article on the oncoming recovery, citing the typical mechanisms that jumpstart the economy: inventory replacement, population growth, or price declines (or slowing price increases). In spite of an economic recovery, key markets still have a "long way to go"; this is especially true with prices.
This labor cycle has been just awful, as the top chart shows. The private payroll slashed >600,000 jobs every month since October 2008. And the job declines are expected to continue.
The massive labor declines helped to push the employment cost index (ECI) growth down to 1.96% over the year, a record since the series was first measured in 2001. The chart below illustrates the relationship between the private ECI (total compensation measure, Table 1 here) and the private payroll (both measured in annual growth rates).
The sample size is small, as the ECI data are available on a quarterly basis since just 2001 (29 data points for the annual growth series); however, the relationship does show an R^2 of 0.33. Accordingly, as the labor market sheds more jobs, the ECI growth is expected to slow further.
Let's say that the payroll slashes another 1 million private jobs over the two months, then the relationship above suggests that the ECI growth will slow to just 1.3% over the year. However, as the lone Q1 2009 value shows, history is likely not the best predictor, since neither the ECI nor the payroll have seen these levels of losses over the sample period.
My point is that the slowing wage growth probably has some downward momentum left in the pipeline.
The chart illustrates the 6-month growth in prices (headline and core, which extracts the effects of energy an food prices) on an annualized basis. Over the last six months, energy prices have tumbled, dragging down headline inflation (deflation) to around -5% annualized in March. Illustrating inflation in this manner is convenient to quantify the price momentum over the recent past, rather than over the last year.
Based on the expectation that wages are expected to fall further, core prices, which are very much lagged to the economy and still growing at over a 1% annualized rate in the last six months, are set to fall. There's likely nothing that Bernanke can do about that.
Slowing wage growth is the mechanism by which the market clears its produced goods and services while aggregate demand is falling; however, eventually, it could become a problem.

Prices during the recovery...

Funny how they "extract" food and energy prices, both of which are on the way up. With the freeze and rain in the CA Central Valley (for example), the price of cherries will soar. Too bad because they are really good. Lack of irrigation water will affect other crops. They are every bit as relevant as other prices just a little more volatile.ReplyDelete
