Associate Professor, Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences
Genomic Imprint Regulation in Gametes and Early Embryos
Research in Dr Mellissa Mann's laboratory focuses on molecular mechanisms that regulate genomic imprinting during gametogenesis and early embryo development. Genomic imprinting is defined as a mechanism of transcriptional regulation that restricts expression to one parental allele. Imprinting is a multi-step process that begins in the gametes, where epigenetic modifications differentially mark the parental alleles. These marks must then be stably maintained in the developing embryo where they are translated into parental-specific expression. Errors in any of these stages can lead to genomic imprinting disorders, such as Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome, Angelman Syndrome, and Silver-Russell Syndrome. To strike a competitive edge, we have developed novel methodology for assessing genomic imprinting in single oocytes and preimplantation embryos, as well as a unique and powerful RNA interference system for stem cells. These tools have enabled my lab to perform cutting-edge research on four main projects using the mouse as a model system.
1. Effects of Assisted Reproductive Technologies on Genomic Imprint Maintenance
Children conceived by assisted reproduction technologies are at increased risk of intrauterine growth retardation, premature birth, low birth weight, and possibly genomic imprinting disorders. Dr Mann's research has lead the field by produced extensive and novel data showing that preimplantation development is a critical period of imprint maintenance that is susceptible to epigenetic perturbation during oocyte and embryo manipulation. Our current work will determine how hormone stimulation or in vitro embryo culture perturbs genomic imprint maintenance.
2. Role of the Kcnq1ot1 long noncoding in stem cells and early embryos
There is little information of how imprinted gene expression is established across an imprinted domain during preimplantation development and its maintenance during early postimplantation development. To better understand the regulatory events in early embryos, we are using genetic models to more precisely determine the timing of paternal allelic silencing of genes within the domain and whether the Kcnq1ot1imprinting control region and/or the Kcnq1ot1 noncoding RNA are required for establishment and maintenance of paternal allelic silencing.
3. Imprinted domain regulation
Very little is known about mechanisms that regulate genomic imprinting during early development. Using an improved lentiviral transgene delivery system, an RNAi library for epigenetic modifiers and hybrid stem cells that that we generated, we have conducted a positive selection, loss of function, RNA interference screen for epigenetic factors that regulate genomic imprinting, using the Kcnq1ot1 domain as a model imprinted domain. We have identified novel candidate factors involved in imprinted gene regulation as well as discovered a novel mechanism of imprinted domain regulation that we are currently investigating.
4. Identification of genomic imprinting control regions
An intriguing characteristic of imprinted genes is that they often cluster in large chromosomal domains that are co-ordinately regulated by cis-acting regions, known as imprinting control regions. To identify novel imprinting control regions, we have used extensive bioinformatics screening of publicly available database. Based on defined epigenetic profiles, we identified known and novel imprinting control regions. We are currently investigation these identify novel imprinting control regions and novel neighboring imprinted genes.

The Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) will open its cantonment to the public for the first time Wednesday.
EGLIN AFB � The Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) will open its cantonment to the public for the first time Wednesday.
The visitors day will include demonstrations and exhibits of the type of work Green Berets perform in the field. It will be the first of its kind since the 7th Special Forces relocated from Fort Bragg, N.C., in October 2011.
�We want to interact with the community as much as possible, but because of our operational tempo, it�s almost impossible to do that,� said Lt. Col. James Brownlee. �We want to open the doors and let people see as much as possible.�
He said organizers picked Wednesday because most of the troops will be back from deployment, which is a rare occasion. There will be more troops home than any other time this year, Brownlee said.
Soldiers wearing attack suits will show what their K-9 dogs can do.
They also will run agility tests through obstacle courses, similar to what they use for training.
The faces of the Green Beret exhibit will explain each team member�s responsibility. Scuba teams and paratroopers will demonstrate their talents and some of the unit�s equipment will be on display.
Brownlee said the 7th Special Forces hopes some soldiers will be able to jump out of a helicopter for visitors, but final approval has not been received. The jump will be at 8:55 a.m. if approval comes.
The event will run from then until 2 p.m.
The dining hall will be open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for guests to buy lunch for $4.55.
Everyone is invited, but attendance requires a proper ID or a visitors pass. Those without a military or Department of Defense ID must bring proof of identification to the visitors center at Eglin Air Force Base�s east or west gates with a person who has an ID. Visitors with passes also must attend the event with someone who has a military or DoD ID.
Although some local military events such as the Army Rangers Open House and Eglin�s triathlon have been canceled because of budget cuts, Brownlee said the Special Forces Group�s visitors day shouldn�t cost anything that had not already been set aside.
He noted the importance of thanking the community that has been so welcoming to them.
�In my 20 years of being in the Army, I have never been to a more welcoming, a more receptive community,� Brownlee said. �This has just been incredible. We can�t do this every day or even twice a year, but we want to get out there and say thanks to everybody.�
The visitors day will kickoff a week of special events for the 7th Special Forces.
The unit will host the Family Business Golf Classic at the Links at Sandestin on Thursday. Teams interested in playing should visit SFA7.com.
There also will be a family day on the beach Friday on Okaloosa Island. Brownlee said Okaloosa County Superintendent of Schools Mary Beth Jackson will give Special Forces children an excused absence to attend with their parents.
�We hardly ever get to spend time as a group,� Brownlee said. �The majority of folks will be home right now and we want to get the whole family out.�
The unit also will host its formal ball next Saturday.

Read Through History: January 2016
So, anyone still writing 2015 by mistake? Yes, I have once or twice…
Anyhow, here's this month's offering of books.
1) A Clash of Eagles by Alan Smale. This is an alternative history which explores the Roman Empire lasting until the Middle Ages and exploring the Americas. This follows the story of a Roman General living with Native Americans. Very interesting story.
2) Turn of the Tide by Margaret Skea. A great story of a family feud set in Renaissance Scotland.
3) The Hummingbird by Kati Hiekkapelto. Last Autumn I attended a Nordic Noir talk and signing at my local Blackwells and read this book by the Finnish author. Really good story and I didn't guess whodunnit!
4) Pasquale's Angel by Paul J. McAuley. This is an alternative history of the Italian Renaissance where Leonardo da Vinci was an engineer rather than an artist. This was the winner of the first Sidewise Award for Alternate History in the 1990s.
Read Through History: May 2015
Summer's here… apparently. Well, they say a heatwave is on the way so here's hoping.
Now, I bet you're all wondering what I've been plundering from the local libraries, aren't you? Well, here we are:
1) I Belong to the Earth by J. A. Ironside. Taking a break from historical fiction ('Whaaaat?' I hear you all cry) I enjoyed this very much. A classic ghost story with elements of fantasy added for good measure.
2) Assassins' Creed: Renaissance by Oliver Bowden. Although I've not played the game I'm tempted to give the first one in the series another go and move onto this. A good adventure story with a good mix of historical characters and events.
3) Thief's Tale by S. J. A. Turney. This is the first in the Ottoman Cycle series. Gives a good account of life in Istanbul shortly after the Ottoman conquest. If you liked the Marius' Mules series, you'll like this too.
4) Empire of the Moghul: Raiders from the East by Alex Rutherford. I'm glad I gave this a go. I know very little about this time and place so it's good to try something new.
I also finished The Tower by Nigel Jones that I started last month. One of the best non-fiction books I've read in a while. There will be a Tower of London post at some point. Honest.

Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen, Lidia Matticchio Bastianich
432 pages; Black and White Sketches, Color and Black and White Photography
Alfred A. Knopf, New York 2001
Review by Jill Santopietro for Good Cooking, Inc., Summer of 02
Lidia Matticchio Bastianich compiles the essence of her Italian traditions and experience with Italian-American cuisine into Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen, a wonderful cookbook with many simple, classic Italian-American dishes. Bastianich clearly presents cooking techniques, products, and a history of Italian-American cuisine, how certain traditional Italian dishes are transformed based on the availability of ingredients in the United States. Her recipes are authentic and delicious, a wonderful tribute to Italian-American culture!
The recipe for
Penne alla Vodka on page 108 was written with timing in mind. She starts it out by instructing you to begin cooking the sauce as soon as you add the penne to the boiling water. Yet, while every stovetop burner is different, consistency based on timing is difficult. Having started the sauce just a few minutes before adding the pasta, most of the vodka I added seemed to have evaporated by the time the pasta was ready. As a result the vodka flavor in the sauce was not as pronounced as I would have liked. I will certainly have to try the recipe again to further test the timing and flavors. However, I liked the recipe for its speed, method and overall taste. I would have used less cream and less cheese. The grated
Parmigiano-Reggiano, when mixed into the dish just before serving, stuck to my fork and made eating the pasta difficult. Use fresh Parmigiano and grate it fine. For those who like a rich creamy pasta sauce, try this dish. You will not be disappointed!
I found it! Finally, the closest ribollita recipe I've seen to the classic Tuscan twice-boiled porridge. This hearty dish is the product of poorer days in Italy, a dish made by adding leftovers, including stale bread, cannellini beans, potatoes, and greens to a large pot and allowing the flavors to meld slowly together. Lidia Bastianich's ribollita recipe is divine. I must admit that I was a bit reluctant to grate the carrots. Most recipes I've seen call for chopped carrots, not grated. But, grated carrots and the instructions to boil the soup once and then a second time are the essence of what make this ribollita recipe so authentic. After all, "Ribollita" is a whitish colored soup and literally means twice boiled. Bastianich's recipe depends on timing, timing that has the potential to be inconsistent due to variations in burners. I kept hoping for a description of the soup and the desired consistency to assure I was on the right track. For example, midway through the cooking process there didn't seem to be enough liquid in the soup. My familiarity with this dish made it easy for me to adjust the thickness, but for those new to the soup, a picture or explicit descriptions would be useful. Overall though, a wonderful authentic Tuscan recipe for a truly delicious winter comfort soup.
Ribollita, Tuscan Twice-Boiled Soup (page 94),
makes 12 servings
3 cups dried cannellini (white kidney) beans
8 cups cold water
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling over the soup
2 medium onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 pound kale, washed and cut into1/2-inch strips (about 8 cups)
4 cups savoy cabbage, cored and cut into '/2-inch strips (about 8 ounces)
1/2 pound Swiss chard leaves washed and cut into1/2-inch strips (about 4 cups)
2 large Yukon Gold or Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
4 medium carrots, peeled and grated (about 2 cups)
2 medium stalks celery, with leaves, chopped (about 1 cup)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups 1/2-inch pieces day-old country bread, crusts removed
1 medium red onion, chopped
Dump the beans into a 2- to 3-quart container and pour in enough cold water to cover them by at least 4 inches. Let soak in a cool place at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. Drain thoroughly. (Alternatively you may quick-soak the beans as follows: Place the beans in a large saucepan of cold water. Bring to a boil, boil 1 minute, and remove from the heat. Let stand 1 hour, then drain and continue with the recipe.)
Pour 8 cups of cold water into a 4- to 5-quart pot and add the beans. Bring to a boil, adjust the heat to simmering, and cook until the beans are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Fish out the tender beans from the cooking liquid with a wire skimmer or slotted spoon, and cool them as described on page 91. Put about three-quarters of them into a food-processor bowl or blender. Add a ladle or two of the cooking liquid and process the beans until smooth. Stir the bean puree into the cooking liquid. Set aside the remaining whole beans.
Heat the oil in an 8- to 10-quart stockpot. Stir in the onions and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Stir the tomato paste and 1/2 cup water together in a small bowl, and stir into the wilted onions. Pour in the bean puree, then add the kale, cabbage, Swiss chard, potatoes, carrots, and celery. Pour in the beans and their cooking liquid. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat to simmering. Season lightly with salt and pepper and cook 45 minutes. Let rest at least 30 minutes, or cool completely and refrigerate until the next day.
Stir the bread into the soup. Taste, adding salt and pepper if necessary. Cook until thickened and dense, about 30 minutes, or longer if the soup has been refrigerated. Remove from the heat, stir well, and let stand about 15 minutes before serving.
Ladle the soup into warm bowls. Sprinkle some of the chopped red onion over each serving and drizzle a little olive oil on top.
To reheat leftover ribollita in the oven: preheat the oven to 400 F. Ladle the soup into individual 10- to 12-ounce ovenproof crocks (French onion-soup crocks work well). Scatter some of the chopped onion over each serving. Drizzle a little olive oil over each, set the crocks on a sturdy baking sheet, and bake until the soup is bubbling around the edges and the onions are golden, about 20 minutes. Let the crocks of soup rest about 5 minutes before serving.
Good Cooking thinks that this is a really good cookbook and
recommends its purchase. Recipes are Italian classics alla Lidia.
Particularly tasty was the recipe below. Often the dish is
bastardized in many restaurants with everything from whole eggs, cups
and cups of heavy cream and even ricotta cheese. It is usually a
thick paste-like sauce loaded with wasted calories. The real
version, as Lidia prepares, is smooth as silk, velvety and packed with
flavor. After consuming a rather large portion, I could easily get
up from the table without feeling stuffed. I would have only
reserved the bacon after frying, putting it on paper towels to drain,
then adding it back to the linguine at the last minute before serving so
it was still crisp.
Linguine alla Carbonara, Linguine with Bacon and Onions, makes 6 servings
6 ounces slab bacon, in 1 piece
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
2 large yellow onions, sliced 1/2 inch thick (about 3 cups)
1 1/2 cups hot Chicken Stock or canned chicken
broth, or as needed
1 pound linguine
3 egg yolks
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Coarsely ground black pepper
The Importance of Coarsely Ground Pepper: Coarsely ground black pepper is essential to this dish. If your mill doesn't grind pepper coarsely, try the following trick: Place the peppercorns on a flat surface. Holding the rim of a small, heavy saucepan or skillet with one hand, and pressing down on the center of the pan with the other, crush the peppercorns until coarsely ground.
Bring 6 quarts of salted water to the boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat. Remove the rind, if necessary, from the bacon. Cut the bacon into 1/4-inch slices, then cut the slices crosswise into 1/4-inch strips. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until the bacon is lightly browned but still soft in the center, about 6 minutes. The amount of fat in the skillet will vary depending on the bacon. If there is more than 3 to 4 tablespoons of fat in the pan, pour off the excess. If there is less than 3 to 4 tablespoons, add enough olive oil to measure that amount. Add the onions and cook until wilted but still crunchy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and adjust the heat to a lively simmer. Cook until the liquid is reduced by about half.
Meanwhile, stir the linguine into the boiling salted wafer. Return to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook the pasta, semi-covered, stirring occasionally, until done, about 8 minutes.
Ladle off about a cup of the pasta-cooking water. If the skillet is large enough to accommodate the sauce and pasta, fish the pasta out of the boiling water with a large wire skimmer and drop it directly into the sauce in the skillet. If not, drain the pasta, return it to the pot, and pour in the sauce. Bring the sauce and pasta to a boil, stirring to coat the pasta with sauce. Check the seasoning, adding salt if necessary. If necessary, add as much chicken stock or pasta-cooking water as needed to make enough sauce to coat the pasta generously. Remove the pan from the heat and add the egg yolks one at a time, tossing well after each. (A salad fork and spoon work well for this.) Add the grated cheese, then the black pepper, tossing well, and serve immediately in warmed bowls.

Is your favorite vape juice not producing clouds like it used too? Maybe the flavor isn't coming through as strong. That probably means you need a replacement vape coil. Your experience is only going to be as good as your hardware and that's why having a working vape coil to heat it to the perfect temperature is key. Look below and find the right one for your pen, kit or shop by brand like SMOK. We'll get it in the mail ASAP when you checkout so you can go back to enjoying your favorite flavors and clouds the way you want them.
It is the wire that connects to the battery and heats up so that your e juice can turn into vapor. It exists in all devices from pens to custom built kits.
You can clean you coils by soaking them for about an hour in propylene glycol, wiping down with a q-tip and letting them dry thoroughly.
A vape coil needs replaced once cleaning no longer helps it to keep the hardware working properly. Signs that it is time to replace your vape coil include:
Vape coils can be made from five materials including:
This is the practice of soaking and exposing the wicking material to your favorite e-juice. This helps it to perform better as you start to vape and give you a better experience. Each device is different and the wicking material and vape coil are primed once it no longer absorbs the e liquid.
Stopping it from burning is easy, but it takes some care. You can make sure your tank is always over 50% full. You can also prime the coil before usage each time. You can reduce the amount of time you spend vaping or at least chain vape less often. Other things you can do are to use an e liquid with a higher VG ratio, options with less sweetener, and buying hardware with temperature controls so it isn't always on full blast.

Up to a couple of months ago she was sixty-six, looked fifty-five, and when asked, not a day older than fifty. Raised a Catholic by very strict and pious parents, she was well aware that Vanity was one of the seven mortal sins. However, her career had forced her into believing that looking younger was the key to success. And God knows that despite her good appearance she hadn't been able to get as many gigs as before, not half, not a third, at times hardly enough to allow her to live these later and wiser years in comfort. Instead, of late she would find herself counting her pennies, checking that if she had someone come round to repair the leak in the kitchen or anything else round the house that seemed to be needing the nowadays hard-to-find honest handyman's care and attention, she would also have enough money to pay the weekly rent.
Why is it that when one machine stops working all the others in the house also seem to need repairing or replacing? She didn't like throwing her old machines away. Not having married, they were the only things that had grown old with her. Not that she minded not ever having had any children. No, the maternal side of her had never been that acute. However, she wouldn't have minded marrying Shawn Barry, that pig-headed Irishman who broke her heart sooner than she would ever have given him credit for. Then again, would he have accepted her and her career? Would she have been forced to choose between the two? At least in that case, this big fat bitch of a Life had relieved her from having to make such a no-win choice.
She had never fallen in love again. Of course she had had her occasional affairs, which had disappeared as magically as they had started. Perhaps the ruler of Chaos had never meant her to share her heart with any other than Mr. J Mr. A-Z-Z.
Why is it that when she most needs comfort and the company of friends, they all seem to have inconsiderately kicked the bucket or, for you, the more sensitive reader, who prefers a more flowery style, have long started pushing up daisies?
Loneliness kills more softly but more painfully than any other death.
The war had taken Shawn.
Death by silence.
'Do you understand me Ms Cartwright?'
Did she understand him? No, she didn't want to understand him. She wouldn't understand him. Words were throbbing inside her head…they used to be music to her ears.
'Ms Cartwright, are you all right? You understand we must remove it as soon as possible. It's a safe operation nowadays. You'd soon be back home.'
One only listens to what one wants to hear. That was what the doctor had done from the start. He didn't want to hear or understand her refusal.
There were six of them, five with dark hair and one ginger. She knew everyone commented on the difference. She felt that her father treated her differently, like he held a grudge against her. She'd often catch him looking at her with a deep furrowed brow.
Once she asked her mother if she had been adopted but her mother had only laughed and said she was silly. She was a Cartwright from head to toe.
She was fifteen when her mother became very ill. She once overheard a neighbour saying that she had a crab in her windpipe. Why didn't they just fish it out? It couldn't be that difficult. She and her brothers and sisters used to catch so many of them when their parents took them to the river on Sundays.
It had been the same neighbour whom she had once heard saying that the ginger head one - herself, she'd gathered - was the offspring of shame.
Dear Shawn,
I regret I couldn't visit you at Xmas this year as I've been in a state of deep depression since September 5th when I was told there had been a further deterioration in my brain. They put me on strong tranquillisers (supposed to help me sleep), but regrettably until the first week in December I not only still hadn't been able to sleep nights, but then couldn't stay awake during the day. Life was a complete haze until the first week in December. I wasn't even bothering to wash or comb my hair, bath or do anything else except put on three stone in weight. I still only go out when it is dark to do my shopping, as I can't be bothered to put on make-up. I'm just never well and have had a terrible cough for eight months, which my G.P. chooses to ignore, so I insisted he refer me to an E.N.T. consultant. Having waited since August, I finally saw him two weeks ago and on Friday I'm to be assessed as to my suitability to be given a general anaesthetic (that's because my general health being so poor it could be dangerous). He has found a swelling to the right side of the larynx, which must be investigated but says he is more concerned about the voice-box. It is obvious he suspects throat cancer which has terrified me and if they want to remove the v. box I shall definitely refuse as I will not talk through a machine and have a hole in my throat. Can you imagine what it is like for a singer?
Darling, I'm sorry I've talked about nothing but myself but one lives alone and hardly even sees other people; you come to be rather obsessive.
I wish I could visit you again, but my neurologist (who deals with the stroke side of me) says I'm not to go alone in case I have another stroke; all of which does not help ease my depression.
Hope someone's been taking you flowers.
I send you lots of love and I think of you all the time.
The doctor had told them there was nothing that could be done. The priest had already been to see the dying woman. He was now in the kitchen talking to the children about the unquestionable acceptance of God's will.
The house had become dark all of a sudden and the walls started closing in on her. She couldn't breathe properly. She could no longer stay in the same room as that eerie-looking man in black.
Her father was sitting at her mother's bedside, holding her hand. Every time she had eavesdropped on other people's conversations, she'd been haunted by what she had heard. She should know better than to stay a moment longer in that place.
'You know I've always loved you, don't you? But now that you're leaving, I'd like to ask you something that has troubled me for a long time. Sally isn't really my daughter, is she? She's different from all our other kids. I know that everyone in town comments on that behind my back, our backs. You can tell me, I forgave you long ago.'
Followed by something that sounded like a feeble attempt at laughter, she heard what thereafter would be remembered as her mother's last words.
'You are really pathetic, Cartwright, of the six Sally is the only one that's yours.'
Not a second later, her father's piercing howl tore through the mournful silence of the night. She could never tell whether it was due to what his wife had said or because she had passed away as soon as she had made those revelations.

Splendid Spores
Science, Life Science
Grade 3- 5
Students conduct an experiment to learn about fungi.
Fundamental Facts
Black bread mold has a fuzzy, spider-web appearance. It is a type of parasitic fungi that lives on non-living organic matter. It begins as a microscopic, airborne spore that germinates on contact with any moist surface of nonliving organic matter. It spreads quickly, forming a fine network of filament clusters that obtain food by absorbing it directly from the organic matter it has attached itself to. When the sporangia (knob-like spore cases) ripen, they break open, and the spores float in the wind until they land and begin the reproduction cycle again. Fungi and bacteria can be found anywhere other life exists. They work together to decay and decompose all organic matter.
Prepare a bulletin board (away from bright light) to display the plastic bags. It should be located in a place that is easily accessible for student observations. If you do not have a board that is out of the direct light, staple a large piece of poster paper to the top of the board and let it hang loosely over the bags. The paper can be lifted for observations.
Find an open area outside, preferably out of the reach of animals, and roll out the foil. Give each student a slice of bread. Have the students place their bread slices on the foil and sprinkle them with a few drops of water. Leave the bread out overnight. The next day, have the students put each slice of bread in a plastic bag (be sure to label the bags with their names). Tightly seal the bags and staple them to the bulletin board. Make sure the students' names show. Provide magnifying glasses for observations and the journal records for writing about their observations.
Ask the students to hypothesize about the following questions:
Why was the bread dampened?
Why was the bread left outside overnight?
Why was the bread put into plastic bags?
Why was the bread placed in a darkened area?
What will happen to the bread?
Have the students complete the sequencing activity. Allow them to use magnifying glasses to observe the black mold growth. At the specific intervals suggested on the journal record, have them record their observations.

Re: Do Group Members Share or Hoard Knowledge?Toby Metcalf Nov 3, 2016 5:56 AM (in response to spearce)2 people found this helpful
Good day Sharon,
Let's break this down; two very interesting questions.
- What are your strategies to get members to exchange information in a group?
- People respond to who they trust; the information they provide is valued and they can implement change. When we build out customer focus groups, I advise building the group slowly to eliminate too much noise, using a personal invite rather than a mass email to invite them, finally, "white gloving" them into the group and making it clear why they are being asked. Make perspective members feel valued, understand why they have been asked, what they are getting out the group, and what we are doing with their shared knowledge
- Do you know the root causes for them not sharing information?
- I believe communities work because people like to help one another and get satisfaction knowing the are "expert" on issues. Lack of trust will keep people from sharing; maybe they also wonder "what's in it for me?" In addition, if you can crack this answer, please let me know as I would love to get some of my lurkers to be contributors :-)
- What are your strategies to get members to exchange information in a group?
Re: Do Group Members Share or Hoard Knowledge?Dennis Pearce Nov 3, 2016 6:35 AM (in response to spearce)4 people found this helpful
A lot of the older KM literature argues that people will deliberately hoard information because knowledge is power, but I've rarely seen that in practice. In my experience it tends to be either (1) they feel that what they know is "not ready for prime time" and might be misinterpreted if they don't get all the wording and numbers just right before releasing it, or (2) they just weren't aware that anyone outside their small circle of co-workers would have any interest or use in their knowledge.
That's why I encourage working out loud. "Sharing" implies there is a giver and a receiver, which means there needs to be some kind of coordination of exchange, and this can often be difficult for any number of cultural, personal, or political reasons. Plus, the giver and receiver need to know of each other's existence in order for the exchange to take place.
On the other hand, WOL is just putting your work and knowledge out there without necessarily knowing if or when anyone else might make use of it. Somebody else can then come along and take advantage of that knowledge, but transactionally it's two independent individual actions (the posting of knowledge and the seeking of knowledge), which is much simpler than coordinating a knowledge exchange.

If you would like to apply for this job, please visit this page: http://bit.ly/1LpZToX
The Rockefeller Foundation's U.S. Youth Employment Initiative is facing an exciting, and challenging, opportunity. We are stepping out of our funding wheelhouse and taking on a high-touch partnership development and consulting approach with private-sector companies positioned to create more opportunities for youth. With a clear mission and an exceptional rolodex of allies in the space, we're looking to bring on an ambitious and experienced professional to spearhead the strategy and execution of securing these employer partnerships.
This is a one-year, fixed term position and reports to the Managing Director, Global Markets.
A Proactive Connector: It is in your nature to actively seek out opportunities to connect with others. Your inquisitive intuition leads to meaningful conversations with all – despite background, industry, or status – creating a network as wide as it is deep. This empathy towards others, coupled with your out-of-the-box thinking, enables you to see synergies where most don't and drive results based on shared objectives.
A Strategic Do-er: You are a strong strategic thinker and problem-solver with a keen ability to synthesize relevant insights from diverse sources and translate into actionable choices. You thrive when confronted with the opportunity to solve the unsolvable as it brings to life that part of you that loves to think creatively, be resourceful, and roll-up-your-sleeves to achieve defined goals.
A Curious Learner: You are reflective and solutions-oriented, approaching every interaction and experience as an opportunity to learn and improve. You are able to effectively foster a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement by leading by example.
A Genuine Communicator: Your communication style is compelling, thoughtful, and clear, enabling you to be an effective ambassador for new ideas among a variety of audiences – internal and external, written and verbal. You are a master at balancing professional prose with humor and personality.
Drive Partnership Development
- Build, prioritize and manage a pipeline of prospective employer partners (likely with external support)
- Actively source new partners for the Foundation and manage a portfolio of existing relationships
- Partner with RF senior leadership and stakeholders (Initiative management, Executive Team, Board members) to tap their networks and support their external engagement on behalf of the initiative
- Design and supervise implementation of team processes and tools that support external engagement (e.g., CRM)
- Help shape the broader strategy for engaging employers at scale as effort matures
Oversee Ongoing Employer Engagement
- Engage consultatively with prospective employer partners to deeply understand their needs and interests, design approaches for potential collaboration and support, and finalize partnerships that meet RF's strategic objectives
- Source and manage a stable of consulting partners and other service providers to provide support to employer partners, ensuring quality and integration of learning
- Ensure quality of engagement between consulting partners and employer partners towards high impact outcomes
- With a minimum of 6 years of experience engaging large companies in an advisory or business development capacity (e.g., consulting, B2B sales) – Bachelor's degree required
- Who is an action-oriented, entrepreneurial person; a self-starter who works effectively independently as well as in teams
- With sound, mature judgment and integrity, someone who can professionally represent the Foundation and its work
- With a genuine commitment to the Rockefeller Foundation's mission and core values – effectiveness, equity, integrity, innovation and leadership – and the particular social impact objectives of the U.S. Youth Employment effort
- With expertise in a variety of sales and partnership approaches and the ability to fluidly move from initial contact to finalizing a partnership
- With experience in managing a portfolio of opportunities to ensure the right attention is placed on the right opportunity at the right time
- Who is well-versed in blending process design with implementation, someone who is both an out-of-the-box thinker and unafraid to roll up their sleeves, ideally in a sales / business development context
For more than 100 years, The Rockefeller Foundation's mission has been to promote the well-being of humanity throughout the world. Today, The Rockefeller Foundation pursues this mission through dual goals: advancing inclusive economies that expand opportunities for more broadly shared prosperity, and building resilience by helping people, communities and institutions prepare for, withstand, and emerge stronger from acute shocks and chronic stresses. To achieve these goals, The Rockefeller Foundation works at the intersection of four focus areas – advance health, revalue ecosystems, secure livelihoods, and transform cities – to address the root causes of emerging challenges and create systemic change. Together with partners and grantees, The Rockefeller Foundation strives to catalyze and scale transformative innovations that create unlikely partnerships that span sectors.
If you're interested in being considered for this role, please complete the following application. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with priority given to early applicants. We encourage you to apply at your earliest convenience. If you are chosen as a potential candidate, you will first be interviewed by ReWork and then by The Rockefeller Foundation team. The final step in the hiring process will be to arrange personal reference calls to confirm details of your work history and performance.
*Note: The official title for this role as posted by the Rockefeller Foundation is "Associate Director, Partnership Development". The original job description can be found here.
If you have any questions about the role, please feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to reading your application!

Don't you feel jaded when you read that? Cynical? I sure do, even though those words, that philosophy, is exactly the view I hold and that I have failed to express over the past 2 election cycles, choosing instead to argue why the right is so wrong. Like banging your head against a wall. Like I've said to Pat, if there is a god, GW will find out on judgement day that what he's been up to is not what she had in mind.
"A progressive politics of meaning does not require that one believe in a Supreme Being, much less the specific God that has been taught in orthodox versions of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. But it does require a recognition that many people want more from their lives than an accumulation of comforts, pleasures, and material goodies. We want more than power, more than fame, more than sexual conquest, we actually want to connect our lives to something of transcendent importance the value of which will continue beyond our own individual life. Counter to the empiricist and scientific reductionism that sometimes gets confused with
rational thought, the Politics of Meaning insists that not everything real or important can be quantified or verified through sense-data. The deepest human desires—the desires for loving connection, for transcendent meaning to life, and for justice and peace (not just for ourselves but for others)—are rooted in what we call a spiritual conception of the world."
Those quotes are taken from Rabbi Michael Lerner's book "The Left Hand of God," and you can read a lot more at the spirtualprogressives.org website.

|Sooo NOT me.
Today I took a Zumba class at the Happy Gym Palestra. It was 45 minutes straight of Shakira's Waka Waka, including: butt slapping, that simultaneous rapid forward thrust of shoulders and pelvis that always looks kinda wrong to me, and unexplained football/Flashdance rapid runs on the toes that make all of my jiggly spots sing the Jello gelatin song. I thought it would be easier than signing up for a dance class, many of which have an end of the year show, heaven help me. Enrolling in a real dance class is a big commitment. Plus, in Lucca, hip hop seems to really mean breakdancing, which in my case is a very literal translation in that it would break me into very small sharp pieces, some of which would jiggle in the remaining pools of jello like substance that inevitably surround them.
So F walked me the 17 minutes to the Happy Gym which doubles as a kiddie dance school during the day. He left me at the door and into the capable hands of the nice desk people, which is always a good start. Then I got a quick tour of the ladies changing room which was in bad shape, though it was cute to see the nice desk lady shove the towel paper on the floor into the basket behind her back while smiling grandly and making big distracting gestures with her free hand. I was early so I sat on the bench outside one of two decent sized classrooms and witnessed the most boring, mechanical, military exercise class you would ever want to see. I had to get this nice girl Elena, who was also a newbie and more interested in Zumba than boring old counting and mat work, to validate my disdain for the earlier class and we soon became fast friends..
I can't say I was the oldest person in the class. And I really, really wanted to tell you that I was. That would have made me feel so much better. But I was like the second oldest woman and there was a very serious man around my age who seemed to take no joy in the Shakira-does-the-Macarena warm up or the butt slapping good time in the middle or even the constant jumping up and down coupled with pelvic thrusts at the end. I grinned like a goon the whole time and winked at the teacher and tried to have as good a time as somebody with a charley horse cramp in their foot and a weird escalating ache through the left side of her groin can have. And then at about minute forty I wealized that my waka had weft the building.
I will be sad if the choreography and the music are always the same, but if I can walk in two days from now I may come back. At one point the teacher asked me to cavalcare the tappetino which I thought meant to straddle my mat, but I would be wrong. It meant to step over it, but I tried several other interesting things with the mat before I hit on that particular manouevre. I had to say I couldn't speak Italian that well and so she asked me where I was from. When I said New York she started laughing until tears came out from the sheer shock of it. Then when she figured out I really could speak Italian she gave me a squinty look like maybe all New Yorkers were big fat liars to boot. But I liked her a lot. And also I handed out the mats to my classmates at mat time so that they could see I am just a down-to-earth, maniacally grinning Shakira impersonator and not just some weirdo.
The stretching part is usually the part of the class where I wish I was the teacher again because all of these flexible instructor types inadvertently lull me into doing something impossibly stupid just because they are talking all soft and sexy like and playing slow music and buying me dinner. Well maybe not dinner, but you know, dimming the lights and other such tricks. At the end of class, Elena and I high-fived and the one lady older than me folded my mat for me since by then I couldn't really get up so good . . . ain't I brave, though?

Join Times staff writers Dan Weikel and Laura J. Nelson for an L.A. Now Live online discussion Wednesday at 11 a.m. about a new report on last year's shooting at Los Angeles International Airport that is critical of the communication and coordination among responding agencies.
The deadly Nov. 1 shooting left a Transportation Security Administration officer dead and three others injured.
The report released this week found that firefighters and paramedics had trouble determining where to go while responding to the emergency and that authorities took too long to set up a unified emergency command center.
"The biggest failure was the lack of communication," Mayor Eric Garcetti said at a news conference after the report was released. "People were with no information by and large for too many hours and that was unacceptable."
During the 11 a.m. chat, Weikel and Nelson will answer questions and address how officials and authorities plan to respond to the criticism.
Before the chat, questions and comments can be tweeted to the chat's moderator, @aribloomekatz, and they'll be posted in the chat. Comments and questions can also be submitted live through the chat interface on the L.A. Times homepage.

OVERWHELMED Jordan Hugill believes him scoring the goal that kept Hartlepool United in the Football League was just "meant to be".
The confident 22-year-old striker couldn't contain his excitement after scoring the winner in the 2-1 victory over Exeter City at a bouncing Victoria Park.
His fine left-footed strike came right on the stroke of half-time and it proved enough for Ronnie Moore's resurgent Pools to claim victory and their Football League status.
Middlesbrough-born Hugill joined the club on loan from Preston North End last month and he believes it was his destiny to score the crucial goal.
Hugill told SportMail: "When I heard Pools were interested in me, my motivation was I wanted to be the person that keeps them in the Football League – to score the winning goal.
"I have done that and it is just an unbelievable feeling.
I wanted to be the person that keeps them in the football leagueJordan Hugill
"It was the greatest moment in my career by far and you cannot describe the feeling, we have all fought so hard for this moment.
"I can't imagine how the other lads feel, those that have been here all season.
"Coming here, I wanted to keep Pools in the Football League because it has always been Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Pools in the league.
"So, to play a part in history is just unbelievable.
"I have made my mark by scoring the goal – that was my plan all along!
"It was a moment that was meant to be, I believe."
Hugill was booked in the eighth minute for an over-zealous challenge and he was walking a disciplinary tightrope thereafter, eventually subbed with Marlon Harewood coming on to help finish the job Hugill started.
And the striker was full of praise for his hardworking team-mates.
Hugill added: "You just had to be there in the dressing room afterwards, everybody was shouting for beers - everyone going mental!
"The manager had worked so hard on getting the shape right, everything right and just to do exactly what we did, which was unbelievable.
"The defending was excellent, especially in the latter stages of the second half and we got what we deserved in the end."
Moore went with an attacking 4-4-2 system, with Hugill and strike partner Scott Fenwick leading the line.
Both produced man of the match displays, not allowing the Exeter defence to settle all game.
And they both got their rewards with a goal apiece to cap the final home game of the season in some style.
Hugill added: "We never let their defence settle, someone commented afterwards that it was the non-league in us coming out!
"We were both up for the fight, and that is what got me in trouble first half.
"Scott is a great lad and he will run his socks off all day, same as me, and we both got our rewards.
"Scott took his goal really well, gambling off my flick and slotting it home.
"It was the same with Tish [Aaron Tshibola] sliding me in and I put my head down and just hit it."

3 Easy Hong Kong Hiking Trails
Though it might not seem like it when you're looking out over the dense cityscape, Hong Kong is surprisingly untamed, with forests and hiking trails galore. There's a huge culture of hiking and walking among the local population and it's a common sight to see Hongkongers of all ages enjoying the city's natural riches on any given weekend. Make like a local and explore Hong Kong's wild side on your next visit with these easily accessible hikes.
Bowen Road
A popular running and dog-walking route, Bowen Road is a flat stretch of (mostly) pedestrianised trail that hugs the Mid-Levels from the central to the eastern side of Hong Kong Island. The roughly four-kilometre route affords you gorgeous views of Central, Wan Chai and Happy Valley through the tree line, but without the tourists. There are several workout stations and areas of interest dotted along the way, including "Lover's Rock," where worshippers leave offerings and prayers seeking fertility, as well as luck in love. It's just a few minutes' cab ride from Central, making it a doable walk (or run) no matter your schedule.
The Peak – The Central Green Trail
Checking out the view from Victoria Peak is a must-do when you're visiting Hong Kong, but we'd rather skip the mammoth lines at The Peak Tram and walk up instead. It's a short and steep but rewarding trek, with several routes up from Central, Wan Chai, The Mid-Levels and Pok Fu Lam. From the middle of town, the Central Green Trail – starting to the left of The Peak Tram and carrying on straight up for about 45 minutes – is the easiest and fastest way up. You'll also find points of interest and historical markers dotting the path. Once there, you can loop The Peak on flat and easy Lugard Road, or visit Pinewood Battery for war relics. Those with a nose for adventure should tackle High West, the Peak's tallest point. It's an additional 30-minute scramble well off the beaten track with terrific views of Kowloon and the Lamma Channel; it's particularly beautiful at sunset. Don't forget to reward yourself with a drink at The Peak Lookout restaurant before heading back down to the city.
Lamma Island
Make the effort to visit Hong Kong's outlying islands, and you'll encounter charming fishing villages, delicious seafood and a slower pace of life that will make you wonder if you're still in the same city. Just a half-hour ferry ride from Central, Lamma Island is popular for its laid-back vibe that blends traditional fishing culture with an eco sensibility. Think vegetarian cafes, lend-alike libraries and a relaxed outlook that's worlds away from the city's fast-paced consumerism. The most popular trek on Lamma is a simple and well-signposted walk from the main ferry pier in Yung Shue Wan to Sok Kwu Wan pier on the other side of the island, where you can hop on a return ferry back to town. The walk takes you over the hills and through small villages, where enterprising locals set up fresh coconut and sliced pineapple stalls on the weekends. At the end of the hike, there are several famous seafood restaurants – take your pick – where you can finish the day with a platter of stir-fried black bean clams, deep-fried squid, garlic prawns and other boat-fresh delicacies.

The College started admission, collected fees from the students and started classes without PMDC registration. On College's website, it is mention that College is register with PMDC. The corrupt administration of the DDC did not get college registered with PMDC in last six years but collected millions of rupees as admission and annual fees.
The first batch graduated in 2017 and completed house job in 2018 while the second batch just joined the house job. The students of four further batches are attending their classes. In this situation the students and their parents are worried and facing tremendous mental stress because the future of their children is in danger.

Contemporary research in the life sciences, and particularly biomedicine, involves experimentation on live animals.* This research is considered an important tool in the progress of science. Much of it is directed towards the discovery of new ways to prevent, alleviate, or cure human diseases. However, the animals on which experiments are performed are often housed in such a way that they have limited freedom, or are subjected to distressing or severely painful interventions, or are killed. The overwhelming majority of these animals are mammals with highly developed nervous systems. They cannot, of course,
* The relationship between human beings and other animals is a central theme in this chapter. In referring to non-human animals as "animals," we do not mean to deny that human beings are animals. Following many pieces of legislation, we use the term "laboratory animal" to refer to vertebrates only.
consent to their own participation in research. Nor, generally, will they benefit from such participation. And they appear to be capable of experiencing not only pain, but other forms of suffering as well.
These familiar facts present both the scientific community and society in general with a question: with the ultimate aim of alleviating or preventing human suffering, scientists carry out experiments causing pain and distress to animals, but are we, as human beings, morally justified in acting in this way?
This question has many dimensions, as we hope to show in this chapter. Some advocates of animal rights insist that we are not entitled to harm animals, even when our purpose is noble. Those who think that the human misery caused by the more serious kinds of ill health is a more urgent concern, on the other hand, respond that it would be unwise or unethical to abolish any animal-based experimental program that may lead to the effective treatment of a human disease. Most people appear to accept neither of these positions. Preferring to take a middle course, they regard the benefits gained through research as too important not to be pursued, but also believe we have a duty not to cause animals to suffer unduly.
In this chapter, we offer a survey of the ethical issues that animal research raises. We have not tried to provide a review paper, with comprehensive coverage of approaches and views. Nor have we attempted at any point to present a fully argued case for a particular conclusion about the ethics of animal experimentation — although it will be obvious at times where our sympathies lie. Our aim has instead been to set out prominent ideas in this area and to indicate how these ideas have been developed by specialists in animal ethics.

In 2012, Fannie Mae conducted the Multifamily Energy and Water Market Research Survey (the "Fannie Mae Energy and Water Survey"), a national effort to understand trends in energy and water consumption and costs at multifamily properties. This survey eventually launched the ENERGY STAR® Score the EPA uses for multifamily housing.
Fannie Mae Multifamily Energy and Water Market Research Survey
More than 1,000 multifamily property owners and managers across the U.S. submitted responses describing their properties' characteristics and providing energy and water consumption and costs from January 2011 through December 2011. Fannie Mae shared the Survey data with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to explore the development of the 1-100 ENERGY STAR® score for multifamily properties. In 2014, the EPA successfully launched the Score for use by multifamily housing.
Fannie Mae would like to thank the many multifamily owners, property managers and industry organizations who contributed information to the Survey database, making the ENERGY STAR® Score a reality including:
The survey data and supporting documents are presented here to enable independent research, furthering the goal of helping multifamily properties reduce energy and water consumption and costs and minimize impact to the environment.
This document is the original survey sent out to more than 1,000 multifamily property owners and managers in 2012.
This document contains the comprehensive instructions that accompanied the original survey in 2012.
This manual provides a Field Name, Field Type, Data Type, Description, and Source for every field included in the Energy and Water Survey Database. In addition, the Manual provides important information regarding the data collection and analysis methodology.
This Excel database includes the responses submitted by multifamily properties to the Fannie Mae Energy and Water Survey, as well as additional data points used in the analysis.
