What is the Collaboratory?
C-BEN's early influence on the field, and its fast growing reputation as a network focused on leading for the greater good, can be traced in part to its founding members' willingness to roll up their sleeves and work together across institutional boundaries on common challenges to building high-quality CBE programs.
The CBE Collaboratory will deepen and extend C-BEN's founding commitment to collaborative work, creating time-bound and field-advancing projects aimed at accelerating progress and raising the profile of the network and its members. Based on member feedback, the first two Collaboratory projects will be focused on Quality and on Storytelling.
Benefits to Members & Institutions
Through the Collaboratory, both participating individuals and the institutions they represent will be given the opportunity to work at the forefront of the movement to advance Competency-Based Education.
In addition to the intrinsic benefits that come with exercising innovation leadership through the C-BEN Collaboratory, participants will be given special opportunities and recognition. In the course of the projects, participants will have an exclusive opportunity to learn from colleagues and experts across the country in safe-space workshop settings, and they will have their work highlighted at C-BEN conferences and at CBExchange 2018. Participation in the Collaboratory will increase the visibility of both individuals and the institutions they represent, and C-BEN is committed to elevating the profiles of all involved in the work. In addition to receiving special opportunities and visibility, travel and accommodations for workshops and conferences will be paid for by C-BEN.
Quality Framework Use and Adoption Project
This project focused on building field capacity and supporting widespread adoption and skilled use of the CBE Quality Framework in the design, implementation, improvement and scaling of CBE programs. Participants selected for this project participated in refining and testing ancillary resources and training materials to support competent and committed use of the CBE Quality Framework. Members of the Collaboratory Project 1 created the Quality Framework for Competency-based Education Programs: A User's Guide.
Quality Framework for Competency-Based Education Programs: A User's Guide
Members of the Collaboratory Project 1 released the Quality Framework for Competency-Based Education Programs: A User's Guide to assist institutions in using and adopting C-BEN's "Quality Framework for Competency-Based Education Programs". As the number of CBE programs continues to grow, many constituents are looking to build high quality CBE programs in accordance with the Quality Framework. This guide is intended to make the Quality Framework more accessible to institutions wishing to use it. Our goal is not to offer a pathway or the "right answers" to developing and/or improving CBE programs, but rather to offer the high-level, high-leverage questions to be considered to accelerate and enable institutional work. The User's Guide breaks down each of the 8 Elements of Quality and provides key considerations about where institutions should start, including key people to have at the table, resources needed, institutional illustrations, and pro tips. To access this guide, please click here.
CBE Storytelling Project
This project focused on growing demand for CBE and advancing field capacity to tell the story of CBE. Explaining CBE to key audiences including students, internal stakeholders (faculty/staff/administrators), regulators and policymakers remains a leading challenge for many institutions building programs. This project aimed to build the capacity of C-BEN members to tell their best stories in the most compelling ways to different audiences. Members of the Collaboratory Project 2 produced The CBE Story: A Strategic Storytelling Toolkit. Additionally, this project conducted a national storytelling contest and created an online repository of learner stories.
The CBE Story: A Strategic Storytelling Toolkit
Members of the Collaboratory Project 2 created The CBE Story: A Strategic Storytelling Toolkit. The Storytelling Toolkit is designed to help you communicate more effectively about the purpose, value and results of competency-based education. Inside this useful resource, you'll find a framework for bringing your CBE story to life. There are activities, prompts, tips and templates to help you tell your best stories to different audiences, including students and families; faculty, staff and administrators; governing boards; regulators and policymakers; and employers. You will also find tools and resources that can aid you in helping others, such as students and faculty, to tell their stories. To access this toolkit, please click here.
Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR) Project
Participants were selected through an application process in the summer of 2018. The most important qualification for participation was the ability to work effectively with a diverse team, and to appropriately balance institutional or individual interests with a broader commitment to supporting a healthy field of practice. Successful applicants have committed to practicing and advancing the competencies of servant leadership, including self-awareness, the desire to listen closely, an ability to catalyze the energy and intelligence of others, and the willingness to work in service of progress for the field of CBE.
Project Guidelines
Successful applicants will be expected to:
- Have one or more CBE programs that lead to a certificate or degree already in place.
- Attend one-two one-day meetings with AACRAO Consultants and Collaboratory partners to identify the standard elements of a
CBE record.
- Communicate with Collaboratory partners between meetings to refine and confirm standard element recommendations.
- For those participants who have not yet implemented a CLR:
- Attend three one-day workshops on developing and implementing a CLR
- Although travel is not provided, these workshops will be conducted in various regions of the United States
- Form a project team to lead the work at your college/university
- Integrate learner data across information platforms, as needed
- Implement a secure, digital record.
Employer Engagement
This project will focus on achieving the following five objectives:
- Articulate the business case for higher education attainment. Emphasis will be placed on the business case for recognition of non-institutional learning. Collaboratory participants will help develop, pilot, test and share tools to show the nancial impacts of recognition of non-institutional learning for both postsecondary institutions and employers.
- Identify best practices for working with employers and industries. Collaboratory participants will both gain access to leading employers and thinkers in the space of corporate learning and development, and help develop tools, resources and practices for CBEN peers.
- Create guaranteed pathways for industry-recognized certifications. Utilizing existing research and frameworks, Collaboratory participants will assess the competencies validated through industry-recognized certi cations, and determine how those competencies can align to degree programs. Collaboratory partners, working with Lumina, will publish those pathways. Collaboratory partners will also partner with ACE's competency-based CREDIT program to accept certi cations and work-based learning through that channel.
- Recognize work-based learning. Collaboratory participants will assess the competencies included in key work-based education and training programs, and determine how they can align with degree programs.
- Elevate CBE institutions. Collaboratory participants would make a concentrated effort to speak, write and present publicly about all they have learned, and how CBE institutions generally are an effective partner to employers and for adult working learners.
Project Guidelines
Participants will be selected through an application process. The most important qualification for participation is the ability to work effectively with a diverse team, and to appropriately balance institutional or individual interests with a broader commitment to supporting a healthy field of practice.

You can find six genealogical databases here, with sources. Please point to this top page rather than into the detailed pages or copying data wholesale. If you need confirmation, I have more data that is not online.
Living people are not listed here.
Zanzig is a one-name study. The name Zanzig is so rare we guess that everyone with the name, worldwide, is related. The Stavenhagen area is close to the old Mecklenburg-Pomeranian border (which, before 1871, was the Mecklenburg-Prussian border) and the name is seen on both sides of that border. I've been documenting Zanzigs since the 1970s.
My family databases include:
- The Hendens and Grøneviks came from Gloppen and Stryn respectively, in Nordfjord, Norway, on the west coast north of Bergen. My great grandparents, the proverbial Ole and Oline, did not meet until both emigrated to western Minnesota. Last update 1109 people on 9 Sep 2020.
- The Stewarts go back as far as Nieuw Amsterdam, with plenty of sturdy German stock mixed in. The Dutch went up the Hudson and out the Mohawk before wandering west through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin and finally sticking around Rochester, Minnesota. I have not yet traced the Stewart name itself, though it comes through Ohio and Indiana, and it's said to go to western Pennsylvania. This line also includes Renslow and Waldron. Last update 884 people on 9 Sep 2020.
- The Wood or Woods family, my father's mother's kin, came from England through Canada. James Woods married two different women from Quebec. One daughter stayed in Canada; the other family seems to have migrated to Michigan. Son James (later James Z.) married into the Barber line which apparently came from Virginia through Ohio, finally settling in Sheyboygan County, Wisconsin. Names here include Woods, Barber and Boyer. Last update 710 people on 6 Oct 2020.
- A family Zanzig tree of just my relatives that includes non-Zanzig names. This tree and the one-name study intersect. Last update 417 people on 3 Dec 2019.
- The final tree,the Hoeflings, is my husband's family and also includes the Scots McGow(a)ns, plus Tarrant and Landon on his mother's side. The Hoefling name is German, from Bavaria; the Tarrants and Landons arrived in Michigan from Ontario, Canada. The McGowns were weavers in the throes of the Industrial Revolution near Glasgow, Scotland, and it speaks well of the elder John McGown that he made a living at handloom weaving into the latter part of the 19th century in spite of mechanization, the lack of cotton during the US Civil War, and all of the incredible changes of that century. Last update 1089 people on 3 Dec 2019.
Contact me for further information, or if you have additions or corrections; please tell me which tree and the ID number of the person you're referring to. Some of this data also exists on FamilySearch, MyHeritage.com and Ancestry.com, but these pages will always be the most complete and up to date.

Are you alone in your knowing? Join with Like Minded Others at Planetxtownhall.com
The Next Chapter Will Be Ours
Yowusa.com, 25-April-2010
Page 1 of 2
For those who are just starting out in their personal Planet X and 2012 research, the first question they typically asked themselves is, "am I nuts, or is there really something here?" The second question they ask themselves once they have determined they have rational interest is, "who can I trust?"
Then, further on comes the most difficult of the three questions. "Is their real hope for us as a species? Is this a dead-end catastrophic future or the beginning of an evolutionary event that will lift humanity one big step further, towards a more noble and enlightened destiny?"
In all frankness, a certain answer to this third has long been as elusive for me, as it has been for many. Yet only now, after a decade of continuous research am I'm beginning to see a rock solid promise of a future reality that transcends the opacity of belief, with tangible substance and form. That we are approaching an evolutionary point of critical mass.
Something New On the Horizon
Keep in mind, that there is still no guarantee, but now, after a decade of steady pursuit I can see it as clear as the sun rising above a distant mountain range. To share this with you view with you, I offer two recent radio interviews I gave to Red Ice in Sweden, and Kevin Smith in Phoenix, Arizona.
What excites me about these two interviews is how they demonstrated a clear and recent shift in the public perception of this topic by a robust and growing minority. I will detail what happened in these interviews which are also freely available to you from this page by permission of the hosts.
For the first time I can see clear evidence that the numbers of these enlightened individuals are swelling. If successful, these growing numbers will become the critical mass, or tipping point that moves us decisively across the Rubicon of evolution, to the next step.
To begin explaining why, I need to share why I have dramatically limited the number of media interviews claimed I now give to outlets other than our own.
Prerecorded Interviews Only
About eighteen months ago, I have posted a notice on my media web site, MarshallMasters.com stating: "Marshall is currently working on a major book project. Due to the demanding nature of this project, he is only available for prerecorded interviews at this time."
For a guy often accused selling books, why on Earth would I turn down a valuable source of free promotion for our books? The reason is that live appearances are extremely draining.
Jumping in front of a microphone or video camera is the easy part. The hard part is to be on the receiving end of a tremendous amount of negative energy, generated by some audiences.
While other media guests in the genre may be tone down or mitigate their message to give audiences room to escape reality, I pull no punches. For me, this has never been an entertainment topic and the result is that first time listeners can often feel a good deal of fear and anger. That's the way it is with this topic and no amount of sugar coating can change that.
Consequently, there are times when this negative reaction is quite palatable because audiences cannot walk away from it despite their emotional responses. Consequently they project very genuine and human feelings. Were I simply an entertainer, that would be a factor to be managed as with any other. Like they say, it's just business ̶ or is it?
Being In It for the Species:
How Our Government Will Signal the Arrival of Planet X — Bob Fletcher, Investigator
People follow different paths to the truth about Planet X, with an enduring hope that one day, our government will finally disclose what it knows.
Like UFOlogy, the hope is that if you create a pile of pictures high enough, perhaps at some point the truth will reach critical mass and voila-disclosure. Unfortunaetly, just like Marxism, it's one of those inspiring fantasy goals that can never be achieved.
This is why Planet X investigator, Bob Fletcher, producer of the IN-COMMING DVDs, has come at this from an entirely different directions. Bob followed the money and found that more was spent on preparation for Planet X than anyone could imagine. GO

Top 3 Reasons To Brand Your Business
Everyone recognizes big names when they see them but most smaller businesses don't understand how those brands got to where they are and why branding was such an important step for them.
When you're just starting out it may seem like a daunting task. Branding has been viewed as just another item to add to your to do list or something that's going to cost you more money. Maybe you're not good at it or don't know where to start.
Building your brand shouldn't be placed on the back burner. It's an investment, an investment in yourself and your business. Your clients and customers need to know who you are, what you have to offer and where to find you. Your brand can do all of these things.
The benefits of branding your business definitely outweighs the few additional tasks on your list or the money spent.
Branding your business serves many purposes from brand recognition, setting yourself apart from competition and creating consistency that your customers rely on.
Brand Recognition
We've all been out in foreign territory. You know, when you're away from home not familiar with your surroundings. Suddenly you get that sense of relief when you find a familiar item at the convenience store or see a sign for a restaurant you like.
That sense of relief you feel is thanks to branding. That company spent some time and money to make sure you would remember them and would seek them out. Good brands are able to form a connection with customers on an emotional level. When customers feel good purchasing your products or engaging with your company then you know your branding has done it's job and hopefully one day that customer will refer more customers your way.
Brand Loyalty
Many markets today have a lot of competition amongst companies. Your brand will set you apart from the crowd. You'll will become familiar to your customers and you will build brand loyalty among them.
Brand loyalty is so important in today's world, where new options are around every corner. Customers have options of shopping in physical stores and restaurants or ordering everything from the internet, from around the world not just your neighborhood.
Your brand needs to stand out and pull your clients in and once you have your following you don't want to lose them. You need to be able to provide exceptional products or services every step of the way to keep your loyal following.
Having a clear and concise brand allows customers to understand you and they will know what to expect every time they make a purchase. If customers have a great experience when interacting with your brand they will be inclined to use or purchase again assuming that the experience will be the same.
Your brand is a promise to customers and clients stating that you work in a certain manner and offer exceptional products or services and sometimes both. You're now held responsible and don't want to let your lessen your customers expectations. Consistency is key.
By creating your brand you're helping your company stay focused.
You end up creating missions for your company.
Envisioning the future of your company.
Clients will come to you because they like your products or like what you stand for. Those clients will continue to come back giving you more business and if you've done a good job those clients will eventually spread the word to friends and family. All of these people will be following you and what you stand for as a company, your brand!
Your brand will give your company a value that cannot be monetized. So what are you waiting for? Start branding!

The wonder of the cherry is the anthocyanins. According to research from Michigan State University tart cherries contain anthocyanins and bioflavonoids, which inhibit the enzymes Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, and prevent inflammation in the body. These compounds have similar activity as aspirin, naproxen and ibuprofen.
How Gout Works
Gout is characterized with excruciating pain in the joint at the base of the big toe. In fact, about three-quarters of
sufferers suffer from this excruciating pain affecting the toe. The other areas of the body
might affect include: the elbows, shoulders, hands, wrists, knees and feet. The gout sufferer's joints will become swollen and inflamed and a fever could also develop. Most often,
symptoms can last for days (2-5 days). Simply stated, gout is caused by higher levels of uric acid in the blood. There are several reasons for this happening including: overweight, too little activity, too much alcohol, various medications, genetics, or even a health disease (hypertension, etc). Whatever the cause, you can cure your gout if you begin your treatment today!

Linda L. Patterson is a living testimony of the soothing affects of cherries on her joint pain. 'I enjoy crocheting and lately my hands have been so painful, I couldn't crochet for more than about 30 minutes.', says Patterson.

'Within the first week of taking the tart cherry capsules my hands felt so much better.', says Ms. Patterson. 'I am now able to crochet without the pain in my hands.'
A condition called hyperuricemia is one of the causes of gout. This is when the body fails to eliminate excess amounts of uric acid. Some people are born with a genetic metabolic defect in which they not only produce extra uric acid, but they fail to excrete it efficiently as well. This is bad because excessive amounts of uric acid will lead to the formation of uric crystals, which will then become embedded in the joints and the tissue surrounding them. These crystals are also known as tophi, and they are the cause of joint inflammation and pain.

It is now believed that the leading cause of back pain is simple muscle strain. Symptoms may come on suddenly and can be acutely painful; but back pain, in actuality, develops over a long period of time. When muscles contract, lactic acid and pyruvic acid are produced as byproducts of muscular activity. It is the lactic acid in the muscles that produces the sensation of muscle fatigue following strenuous activity. If high levels of these acidic byproducts accumulate in the muscles, they cause irritation that can eventually turn into pain and interfere with the normal conduction of electrical impulses in the muscle tissue. This results in a phenomenon called delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Problems with acidic buildup are often made worse by dehydration.
Eighty percent of all US population suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. In spite of this common occurrence, most people are completely unaware of the things they do that contribute to this problem.

Low Back problems affect the spine's flexibility, stability, and strength, which can cause pain, discomfort, and stiffness.

But in today's fast-paced mode of life, this is just the kind of food that we're accustomed to eating! To further reduce the risk of acquiring gout, one should also refrain from taking in too much organ meats or sweetbread (including heart, kidney, and liver delicacies). Some seafoods, such as scallops, mackerel, and mussels are also dietary no-no's because these too are rich in purines. Intake of high-fat dairy foods should also be curtailed, including comfort foods like ice cream, butter, and cheese.
According to Jennifer LaPointe, Director of Marketing for Traverse Bay Farms, www.traversebayfarms.com 'many of our customers are looking to eat healthier and our gourmet fruit product fit this trend. It's certainly better than fast food.'

5 Tips to Treat Your Gout
1. Find a pair of shoes that fit comfortably. Try finding a wider shoe that will offer more room for your toe.
Causes: Low back pain is usually caused by strain from lifting, twisting, or bending. However, some low back pain can be a symptom of a more serious condition, such as an infection, a rheumatic or arthritic condition, or ovarian cysts. Today, a high proportion of people spend the better part of their working day sitting at desks, at work stations, or in cars and trucks. These changes in human behavior have had a profound-and largely negative- impact on human physiology.
Gout is certainly not a fun condition to have. It's a common rheumatic disease and it counts rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis among its close cousins. Figures show that some 840 people out of 100,000 are afflicted with this disease, most of them men. Just what are the causes of gout, and are there any effective ways to avoid it? More often than not,
is a result of lifestyle choices, but there are other factors that contribute to the disease's occurrence.
Terry Johnson, a resident of Grand Rapids, Michigan, munchies on dried blueberries for the convenience and taste. 'I work behind a computer for eight hours a day and I like to snack. I began eating dried blueberries instead of a candy bar from the vending machine. Now I feel good when I snack because I am eating fruit instead of candy.'

These conditions result from materials being deposited into the joints, infections of the joint, sometimes called septic arthritis. autoimmune disorders, in which a person's body produces antibodies against its own tissues. These disorders include rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Joint Pain and Back Pain discussed Joint pain is a common symptom with many possible causes. There are many possible causes of joint pain. The causes can be divided into categories:
Healthy Eating for Healthy Living in 2005 Eating healthy is fast becoming a way of life. American's are living longer, however, the goal of many is not to simply live longer, the goal it is to live a longer and healthier life. Simple everyday fruit can help.
Other causes are also possible. In some cases, no cause can be found. Symptoms: - Involuntary weight loss of 10 pounds or more, - The joint pain persists beyond 3 days, - Severe, unexplained joint pain especially if accompanied by other unexplained symptoms,
Alcoholic beverages should strictly be avoided or at least restricted to an occasional glass or two. This is because alcohol has a high purine concentration and contributes in significant ways to the body's production of
uric acid
. Not only does it spur the body on to produce more uric acid, but it also affects the ability of the kidneys to flush out excess amounts of this substance. Plus, alcohol is fattening, and we know that surplus weight can also lead to gout.
Though scientists are as yet uncertain about how
really occurs, they have discovered that the causes of
can be genetic or environmental in nature, as discussed above. Knowing the things and events that can cause the disease would be a big step in reducing one's risk of acquiring it.

Yesterday Hank had to have another surgery. The poor thing has lost so much skin that this time they weren't able to fully close the wound. It's covered with a honey bandage and I have to take him in a few times a week to have it changed.
The vet also gave him a new cone, a larger one. Hopefully he wont be able to wriggle out of this one. Apparently while he was in the vets office awaiting his surgery he managed to somehow chew out even more stitches so I'm glad they gave him this larger one. It's awkward for him and i hate that he has to wear it but I also want him to heal properly.
The vet had to cut out quite a bit more skin and it's unbelievable that the venom has spread as much as it did. I found a holistic paste online which has garnered incredible reviews from both people who have been bitten by the brown recluse and the owners of dogs who have also been bitten. They say it stops the venom from spreading and expedites the healing so I ordered it because I don't think I can put this dog through another surgery.
The vet added another antibiotic to his regime as well and she feels this will help prevent any infection as well as stop the venom. I certainly hope so. Watching him lay on the sofa helpless, day after day, is killing me.
I had planned on writing about another piece of the puzzle in my long run without migraines success but obviously, I've been a little preoccupied with Hank so it may have to wait a few days.
The bandage that Hank has now is actually tied on with strings and wrapped through staples. I can tell that it itches quite bad because he jumps up occasionally and tries to bite at it. Unfortunately I cannot change the badge myself just yet, the vet will have to do that for another week or so. Our next bandage change is Saturday and I sure hope we get that holistic powder before then.
Thanks for all your well wishes and comments, Hank is our little baby and it means so much to MacGyver and me.
Do you have any pets?
Tell me about them, names and ages and anything you think makes them special?

Foxtons' figures released to the City this morning confirm a huge slump in sales in 2016 - and even lettings revenue dipped.
Sales revenue was £55.5m, down 23 per cent, and according to the firm "driven by a marked step down in activity in the second half [of the year] following the EU referendum and stamp duty changes".
Lettings revenue was £68.3m but even this was down over the year - it dipped one per cent, although Foxtons this morning said the rental sector "provides a consistent, recurring revenue stream."
As a results, profits before tax dived - £18.8m in 2016 after £41m in 2015.
There was some cheer with mortgage revenue reaching £8.9m, some seven per cent up on the previous year.
The agency opened seven branches last year - and two in February 2017 - taking the network to 67.
A statement to shareholders and the City from Foxtons chief executive Nic Budden says: "Last year's London property market was severely impacted by an unprecedented sequence of events with changes to stamp duty and the EU referendum vote leading to a substantial reduction in property sales transactions, especially in Central London.
"We were not immune to the decline in volumes, although our lettings business proved more resilient, whilst our mortgage broking business also performed well. We expect trading conditions to remain challenging throughout 2017. Should current sales activity continue through the remainder of this year, it is likely that 2017 sales volumes will be below last year."
This morning's results were predicted by both agency industry and City experts.
In January Foxtons revealed that in the final quarter of last year its revenues were only £26m - down a quarter on the same period of 2015 - while for 2016 as a whole revenues were down to £133m - 11 per cent less than the year before.
Even so, last month saw the openings of new branches in Wembley and Wood Green, in line with what the firm at the time called its "organic growth strategy that aims to continue strategic expansion of its network of branches throughout London and the Home Counties."

School outreach
Why not let us come to you?
We know that a visit to our unique museum is a truly memorable school trip, indeed many adult visitors share with us with their memories of a visit with their school. However, we understand that travel is expensive due to fuel cost increases which is why we have launched a schools outreach programme. We also hope that for certain groups who require further preparation it may be very useful for us to help with stage and/or consolidate information after a visit.
Life in Medieval, Tudor and Victorian times.
In a session designed to last 45 minutes for KS1 and between 45-60 minutes for older pupils. We will examine objects which tell us about everyday life in the chosen period. The context will be set as one of our buildings and our leader will bring historic clothing from the period, which they will normally wear and for the Tudor and Victorian period there is clothing that a couple of children in the class can try on over their school uniforms to explain what they would have worn.
The workshop is designed to be fun and curriculum focussed. In order to enable us to consolidate and complement your lessons we ask teachers to provide information on what you will have already covered and any specific focus you may like us to cover on booking. This allows us to prepare and bring the most appropriate materials with us.
We have sessions are designed for primary and secondary pupils.
£110 for one session; £150 for two sessions; £190 for three sessions. In addition we charge mileage at 45p per mile for the round trip from the museum to your school.
Other practicalities:
- The activities are designed for a class group at a time, to allow for interaction. An ideal space for us to use is one with a table for our leader to lay out some items and space for the children to sit in a horseshoe around them, but not behind tables. If you are interested in several classes doing a session in one day please talk to us to arrange this.
- We will need to discuss a start time with you, but generally not before 9.30am to allow for travel and setting up time.
- Please remember that teachers remain responsible for their pupils for the duration of the session so we expect as a minimum a class teacher to be present at all times.
To find out more or make a booking please phone our school bookings line: 01243 811459 or email [email protected]


text: The milling process of Molini del Ponte begins with the pre-cleaning of the grain in order to remove any impurities before being stored in different grain bins (each for every type of grain). Thereafter the grain is cleaned in vertical and horizontal conveyors with the use of an optical selection procedure. The humidity control which starts afterwards facilitates the next step consisting in the separation of the bran (in the case of roll-mills). Both the optical selection and the humidity control are committed to Bühler machines, leader in the sector. Then the grain is preserved in "rest" bins and after cleaned again. Finally it is ground in our antique mills (stone-ground) or in our modern roll-mills.

Charged with treason, Nakia is interrogated by the Hittite council of ministers. Nakia denies her guilt and, despite being confined, uses her magic to free her henchman Urhi, who is then suspected of launching a campaign of murderous retaliation against Kail and Yuri. Nakia, however, seems to have made one mistake that could undo all her schemes--overlooking the devastating effect all the intrigue and treachery has had on Juda, her son and intended heir to the Hittite throne!

I'm starting to think that oatmeal stouts might be impossible to screw up. I don't know if I've ever had a bad one, most of them have been pretty darn good and some of them have been just plain great. Firestone Walker's Velvet Merlin is one of the pretty good ones, and I enjoyed it. It pours jet black but thin, and the head fades quickly. The aroma is coffee atop rich, smooth malt. Maybe a little hops, too. The flavor is just the same, and that's a good thing. There's also a little chocolate and a little dark bread, before a crisp finish. This is not a heavy stout at all, but a satisfying one.

Take a look at the four-storeyed building faced with burnished stone, and decorated with columns and arched windows. It's the former location of the Scheremetyev Courtyard.
The Schermetyev'sky Shopping Centre strongly contradicts the architectural style of the rest of Nikolskaya Street. Earlier this location was occupied by the Scheremetyev Courtyard, which was knocked down to make way for the new shopping centre. But before Revolution the building housed a substantial hotel.
The Russian spelling of Scheremetiev'sky is a bit of a dog's breakfast. It's been spelled in an olde-world fashion, but the noble family of the Scheremetevs never spelled their own name this way. Foreign visitors might not notice this small difference, but it seems to rewrite history, and connect the building more with Scheremetevo Airport than the C19th aristocrats who once owned the land here. In fact their ownership has been airbrushed out of history in this fake spelling. But shopping-centre fans will still find enough to interest them here.
Kitay-gorod is one of the oldest parts of Moscow. It appeared nearby the old wooden Kremlin. Although the name translates as "Chinatown," it probably derives from kita (wattle), referring to the wall that surrounded this early Kremlin suburb. Today, remains of an old city wall and colorful churches are scattered throughout this ancient neighborhood.
The stone walls were erected in the 16th century by an Italian architect known under the name Petrok Maly and originally featured 13 towers and six gates. They were as thick as they were high. The last of the towers were demolished in the 1930s, but small portions of the wall still stand. One of two remaining parts of the wall is located in Zaryadye and the other near the exit from the Okhotny Ryad station of Moscow Metro behind the Hotel Metropol.
Kitay-gorod starts at Red Square. Apart from Red Square, the quarter is bordered by the chain of Central Squares of Moscow, notably Theatre Square (in front of Bolshoi Theatre), Lubyanka Square (in front of the KGB headquarters), and Slavyanskaya Square.
Since time immemorial Kitay-gorod has been developing as a trading area. And for centuries it was known as the most prestigious business area of Moscow. Its three main streets — Varvarka, Ilyinka, and Nikolskaya — are lined with banks, shops, and storehouses. There are also lots of historical buildings that relate to the heritage of the federal and global importance now.
In our tour you will walk along Nikolskaya Street that is famous for being the site of Moscow's first university, the Slavic Greek Latin Academy, housed in extant Zaikonospassky monastery (1660s). Another monastery cathedral, the main church of Epiphany Bogoyavlensky Monastery (1690s), is the oldest male monastery in Moscow, stands in the middle of Kitay-gorod in the eponymous Bogoyavlensky Lane. The 18th century survives in the exterior walls of the otherwise rebuilt Gostiny Dvor (Guest Merchant's Court) by Giacomo Quarenghi.
A whole quarter of Kitay-gorod adjacent to the Moskva River and known as Zaryadye (now just Varvarka Street) was demolished in the 20th century, sparing only those structures that were classified as historic monuments. These include the Cathedral of the Sign (1679–84), the Church of All Saints (1680s), St. George's Church on Pskov Hill (1657), St. Maksim's Church (1698), St. Anna's Church at the Corner (1510s), St. Barbara's Church (1796–1804), the Old English Embassy (1550s), and the 16th century Romanov boyar residence. The two last are the museums. You can visit them to see the life of the first Romanovs in the 16-17th centuries.

The College of Medicine produces graduates who have basic clinical skills and who will ultimately become quality doctors capable of treating their patients holistically. Students who are interested in medical research may participate from an early stage in medical research situations by taking the new Medical Scientist Course. In addition, we offer students the opportunity to study abroad and thus broaden their world view. It is our expectation that all of our graduate students will excel in whatever their chosen field, be it the clinical field (generalist or specialist), medical research, administration, medical care, public health, or welfare, and that they will, through medicine, contribute not only to the people of our country but also to all the peoples of the world.
It is widely held that the purpose of medical science and care in the twenty-first century will be "improvement in quality of life" and "pursuit of fulfillment in life." With that in mind, we expect our students to build the foundation of their medical vocation by experiencing for themselves diverse medical science and medical care situations, by thinking for themselves, and by pursuing their own personal dreams. In the medical school we respect each student's autonomy, and to that end we have introduced into the curriculum a wide variety of elective courses in advanced medical science, in clinical practice, and in research lab study. It is our aim that students will, by their own initiative, take advantage of the chance to study for themselves and develop their capabilities to the fullest. As school policy, instruction is carried out in small groups.
The objectives at the time of graduation for the students who are in Collegeof Medicine are doctors with basic clinical ability and basic medical research ability. All students depart from here and are expected to contribute the society through good practice of medicine in their respective fields such as physicians (generalists / specialists), medical educators, medical researchers or health-care professionals.
Towards this educational objectives, the students are required the following on learning behavior.
1. Acquiring the necessary basic knowledge in order to resolve by themselves problems, which relate to human individual as well as community, society or mankind.
2. As a physician, developing correct attitudes, manners, and acquiring responsibility and ethics.
3. Acquiring habits of self-development ability, self-evaluation in order to continue lifetime learning and training.
4. Acquiring attitudes and habits to be able to cooperate and act constructively in team activities.
We are proud of the high national examination pass rate for graduates from University of Tsukuba since the beginning of establishment and the trend still continues. We applied the new undergraduate education curriculum from the class of 2010. Since then, we have maintained the nationwide top class pass rate exceeding the national average as well.
College of Medicine had implemented ahead of the other medical schools in Japan the advanced medical education curriculum called "Tsukuba method" in 1977. However, the amount of knowledge that medical students should learn explosively in accordance with medical progress in recent years, and hence active learning is essential for doctors who are able to provide best medical care based on the latest knowledge.
In addition, in order to provide the appropriate medical services as a background for aging population, and increasing life-style related diseases, etc, doctors are required to provide not only appropriate medical skills but also consideration appropriately for patients, their families and the ability for resolving solution comprehensively, ie, the ability to provide holistic medical care. In the College of Medicine, the new curriculum was implemented with the following three parts; (1)~(3) since the fiscal year of 2004 to respond immediately the changes in circumstances surrounding medical care system.
The curriculum for the College of Medicine consisted of the following 3 parts:
The first part is "Integrated curriculum by organs based on PBL (Problem based learning) tutorial". All courses for the 1st to 3rd year students will be the course by organs based on PBL tutorial prior to clinical clerkship.
The second part is "Clinical Clerkship". It's considered to be Participatory Clinical Clerkship which medical students will actually participate in medical care as a member of the team, not as observership in the past.
The third part is "Introduction to medicine". It is aimed for learning systematically the fields that are not fully covered by frameworks by the integrated curriculum.
PBL tutorial is aimed to learn process to solve problems using "Scenarios" with advantage of their obtained knowledge. It is implemented with lectures and practical training using the form of Tutorial style (small group learning with tutor).
Regarding all medical courses of Basic and Clinical medicine for the 1st to 3rd year students prior to Clinical clerkship, they are provided by PBL tutorial style. For Clinical medicine, it is conducted by organs. Tutorial education acquires ability to solve problems and habits of lifetime learning. In addition, communication skills and cooperativeness to summarize the ideas will be acquired through group discussion.
We have implemented Clinical Clerkship (CC) which medical students will actually participate in medical care as a member of the team, not as an observer as in the past. CC is composed of unit CC, regional CC, and elective CC. System units are composed by closely related departments each other at the University of Tsukuba Hospital, and better understanding for the closely related area as 1 unit that conducts clinical clerkship for 8 weeks at 1 system unit is warranted. Unit CC is composed of 7 units in total during the period of 18 months.
After experiencing regional CC which is aimed to learn community medical care such as provided in regional hospitals, clinics and almost all medical departments, elective CC begins which is aimed to acquire a deeper expertise by selecting departments.
Medical students start CC after summer vacation of 4th year, and it is provided for 78 weeks, the longest period of all medical schools in Japan.
As the one of the main parts of the curriculum, "Introduction to medicine" is implemented for all grades of the 1st to 5th year with the objective of systematically learning areas difficult to acquire in the frameworks by organs and symptoms. The course consists of 8 units: Doctor and Patient Relationship, Team Medicine, Regional Medicine (Primary Care), Medical Safety, Health Promotion, Medical Ethics, Professionalism, and Medical English.
|Doctor and Patient Relationship
|Able to understand patients holistically and build a good relationship of mutual trust.
|Team Medicine

We love getting feedback from our guests and recently received a lovely letter from Debbie Fowler, a first time guest at Potters, telling us all about her Potters break.
Here is what Debbie said…
I have just returned from a long weekend stay on Best of British Weekend with my husband and our very good friends. My friend's husband had a milestone birthday before Christmas so what with busy lives leading up to Christmas and New Year we booked the first week in January for our treat for his birthday.
Well we were not disappointed, oh my goodness what fun! What a scream we've had, it's been absolutely great, in fact so much we were due to leave on Sunday but we booked another night whilst we were there! Bring it on Potters, we were up for it!
We did Segway, Clay Pigeon shooting, Archery, Swimming, Jacuzzi, Darts, Ten Pin bowling and the Giant's Swing. Loved it all… just loved it!
After a Christmas of hosting and cooking for the rest of the family, to be shown to your table and offered food of the God's was pure heaven and what good quality food it was – the Sea Bass was to die for! I could actually go on about the food indefinitely as we were so impressed with the lovely food and so much on offer too. Our waiter Elliot couldn't have been more attentive and really looked after us.
Then evening entertainment… definitely as good as any West End show I have seen with the glitz and glamour, and the costume changes and the singers. We were blown away and in fact my voice is still a bit blown away today as I sound like Barry White after screaming and singing along to The Upbeat Beatles!
Thank you Potters and thank you Potterettes for looking after us so well. Keep up the good work and see you soon.
After receiving this lovely letter, we got in touch with Debbie to ask her a few more questions…
Debbie, thanks for taking the time to write to us. Why did you choose Potters Resort for your break?
My hairdresser has been and tries to come at least once a year with a bunch of her girlfriends as their annual get together and she literally gushes about how lovely it all is. As you might have guessed we were all Potters virgins, never been before, had no idea of the set-up, or what to expect. It was the only time we have ever been away and actually stayed on the Resort as there was so much to do.
What surprised you most about the Resort?
The cleanliness, the organisation – we booked another night but our dining table remained the same, the head staff in the Garden Restaurant already had us marked as staying on. The warm rooms, we were in a bungalow and it was really toasty even though it was cold outside, and the carpet was clean.
My colleague is trying to establish whether it would be suitable for her family and extended family – she has an eight year old, her mum and dad are in their seventies and she has a brother with teenagers – so enter me, doing impressions of the Divaz girl group and singing! My colleague is already impressed, not at me, but at the fact that the musical show included newer songs and also older ones that mums and dads know and can sing along to. Don't even ask me how my Riverdance is going, and all this in a firm of solicitors!
I never found another person who hadn't been before when we spoke to people - everyone else had been coming for years!
How do we compare to any other UK holiday Resorts you might have been to?
I've never been to Centre Parcs, but our friends have and said that Potters entertainment trumped anything they'd seen anywhere else!
How would you describe the Resort in three words?
Fun, Friendly, Outstanding.
Thanks Debbie. Do keep sending us your feedback and you might feature on our blog soon!


text: Sony TV India Unit Strikes Content Deal With Shah Rukh Khan 9:32 AM PST 11/22/2015 by Nyay Bhushan FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy of Red Chillies The alliance sees the Bollywood star's banner Red Chillies co-producing television, digital and film content with Sony's MSM unit. Sony Pictures Television India's unit Multi Screen Media and Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's banner Red Chillies Entertainment have entered into a strategic alliance which will "explore opportunities in co-produced television, digital and film content." Financial terms were not given. The companies also announced that MSM has acquired the television rights to Khan's upcoming Dilwale (The Big Hearted) which is slated for a Dec. 18 release and is co-produced by Red Chillies. The title, among the year's most anticipated releases, reunites Khan with director Rohit Shetty after they delivered the 2013 hit Chennai Express (which was distributed by UTV Motion Pictures, a unit of Walt Disney India). "This alliance is expansive and pans a spectrum of co-produced content," said MSM CEO NP Singh, though further details on what kind of projects are in the pipeline were not given. "Moreover, it adds to MSM's already extensive library of blockbuster films." In addition to a diversified broadcasting network spanning entertainment and sports, MSM also runs its film unit MSM Motion Pictures, which released this summer's hit title Piku starring Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan and actress Deepika Padukone. In recent years, the Indian arms of the Hollywood studios have become more active in local productions which has seen them striking alliances with major Bollywood players. Recently, 21st Century Fox's Star India and leading Bollywood studio Dharma Productions announced a "creative partnership" that will see both entities co-producing and distributing films worldwide. While financial details were not given, the pact covers nine films over three years. Dharma is headed by one of Bollywood's most successful filmmakers, Karan Johar, 43, who made his directorial debut with the 1998 hit Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Something Happens) starring Khan. When Fox Star Studios was formed in 2006 as a joint venture between 21st Century Fox and its broadcasting unit Star India, the studio's first major release was Johar's My Name Is Khan (also starring Khan). "At first, the studios wanted to popularize Hollywood films here but our cinema is deeply rooted in Indian culture," Khan, 50, told THR in a 2013 interview. "So now it's good to see them producing Indian films. We also learn a lot from the experience of working with an international studio. … It's a sign of changing times and will benefit Indian films to go international faster."

31 Oct Mika + Scott | Backyard Roanoke, Virginia Wedding
Posted at 08:36h in Wedding 0 Comments
Mika and Scott's backyard wedding was truly what backyard wedding dreams are made of. Fall was doing wonderful things in the Blue Ridge Mountains and created the most magical backdrop. Their day was simple, beautiful, and so sweet.
It was such a joy to be a part of their day and extra special to be back home in Roanoke to capture it all.
Also, so thankful for couples who are willing to drive up to a random person's house to maximize the mountain views for the perfect shot 😉

Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH)
Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH)
Hunger, malnutrition, and poor health are widespread and stubborn development challenges. Agriculture has made remarkable advances in the past decades, but progress in improving the nutrition and health of poor farmers and consumers in developing countries is lagging behind. The CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) is designed to fill the existing gap between agricultural development and its unfulfilled health and nutritional benefits.
The starting point for A4NH is that agricultural practices, interventions, and policies can be better adapted and redesigned to maximize health and nutrition benefits and to reduce health risks.
A4NH brings together research and development professionals across the agriculture, nutrition, and health sectors to jointly tackle key challenges and design joint solutions.
A4NH has 4 components: Value Chains for Enhanced Nutrition; Biofortification; Prevention and Control of Agriculture-Associated Diseases; and Integrated Agriculture, Nutrition, and Health Programs and Policies.
- Improved diet quality, especially of women and young children
- Reduced exposure to the causes of agriculture-associated disease, including improving food safety along the value chain and improving human health through good agricultural practices in agro-ecosystems
- Empowerment of women and poor communities to make decisions related to agriculture, food, care, and health
- Better cross-sector policies, programs and investments that foster improved nutrition and health outcomes from agriculture and other sectors.

My Review: Lexmod Taiji Outdoor Wicker Patio Daybed Ottoman In Espresso With Turquoise Cushions
As I realized a few days ago that I haven't reviewed any daybed on my blog, I decided that in my next post I had to talk about one of these really special items.
So I chose the LexMod Taiji Outdoor Wicker Patio Daybed Ottoman In Espresso With Turquoise Cushions, which is one of the best daybeds I tried (you'll see below that this isn't really a praise…). I also noticed that it's a pretty popular product, when it comes to daybeds I mean. 😛
I haven't used any other product from LexMod, so I kind of made an opinion about them through this product. And unfortunately I can't say that I'm extremely satisfied or that I can totally recommend you this company.
But I will tell you more about my opinion a few lines below, for now let me show you some general things about this daybed. 🙂
Product name: Taiji Outdoor Wicker Patio Daybed with Ottoman in Espresso with Turquoise Cushions
Producer: LexMod
Price: $1,099.70 (At the time I published this article)
Cheapest place to buy: AMAZON
My rating: 6.80 /10
Worth buying?: Not Really
So as I told you before, I can't really say that I'm very satisfied with this daybed or that I couldn't have bought a better product. However, compared to other daybeds I've tried, it's not that bad. I'm not a fan of daybeds simply because most of the have a really low quality and a really huge price.
So I guess you can imagine now why I haven't written a lot of articles about daybeds so far…and I won't even write too many in the future either. 😛
Anyway, let me show you my personal Pros and Cons.
What I Liked About It
- The color is absolutely gorgeous, I chose turquoise because I thought it would look very exotic and so it does. I feel like in a tropical destination every time I see it
- It's a 3-in-1 item: you can use it as a sofa (the large part), as an ottoman (the smaller part) or you can place together these 2 pieces and use it as a daybed. I usually preferred to keep it as a daybed outside, because that's what I bought it for, but it would also look good as a sofa or as an ottoman
- It's made of rattan, which is a very popular fabric this year
- It feels really soft and comfortable, nothing to say about it
- The product was almost ready-assembled: I received it in 2 boxes, one containing the sofa part and the other one containing the smaller part and the cushions. So I didn't have to put them together or anything of this type
- Compared to other daybeds (especially the ones I found in some shops from my area), its price isn't even expensive, I would actually say it's rather cheap
- The ship it for free in the US
What I Didn't Like About It
- The fabric fades easily, especially the cushions. I think mine lost their turquoise color after about 6 months in the sun. And I haven't found others available for sale on Amazon
- They don't offer any cover for the daybed, even though it loses color after a few months outside
- I'm not satisfied with the quality, as the rattan fabric started to break in certain part after less than a year
- So for $1000, I believe it should last longer than 12 months and in better conditions

And now, let's start the review
As I said before, if I were to judge this company based on the opinion I made about this daybed, I would probably not buy from them again. The item isn't bad at all, at least compared to other outdoor daybeds, that have a much higher price but a similar quality.
But I would probably not pay $1000 again on any daybed, simply because all the ones I tried disappointed me sooner or later. And this LexMod daybed makes no exception, but I think it took it a bit longer to disappoint me. Do you get my point now? 🙂
Anyway, I admit there are also some nice things about it, and I will begin with these.
Sofa, Ottoman And Daybed – All 3 In 1
I have to begin by praising the producer for the great way in which they designed this item. This design would almost make me not regret paying so much money for it… 😛
Although on the official site it's stated as a daybed, I noticed that you can easily use this item in 2 other ways: ottoman, which is the smaller part, and sofa, the larger part. I know there wasn't any need of this last explanation because you can probably notice very well which is the ottoman and which is the sofa, but…just trying to be sure. 🙂
Of course that by putting these 2 pieces together you get the long-desired daybed, which is actually really simply to get. I mean, you don't have to tie to sofa and the ottoman together.
It's enough to just place them one near the other and you'll have the daybed. Sounds really simple, doesn't it? Well, it's pretty simple when it comes to this. 🙂
So I really love this versatile feature; it's probably the best thing about this daybed. You can always change it: I usually keep it as a daybed, but many times I take the ottoman inside and lay comfortable on it when I watch TV.
Or other times I take the sofa close to the small swimming pool that I recently got. The pieces are pretty light for their appearance, and even though I didn't personally carry them around, I don't think it would be impossible for me to do it. Just kidding. They're still too heavy for a woman to lift them alone. 😛
I Love The Turquoise Color That I Chose…
When I was looking at the daybeds available online, I knew I wanted a bright, exotic color and not a boring white…
I didn't exactly decide on one, but I knew I wanted a really strong shade. So after coming across this item from LexMod, which do you think that the first color that caught my attention?
Obviously that turquoise… 😉
And I really love it, even now. I initially thought about the red or the orange version, but I couldn't take my mind off the turquoise one. So I decide to get it, and I definitely don't regret it.
In comparison to the orange or red one, the turquoise shade makes it feel more exotic. I sometimes have the feeling that I'm in Bahamas in holiday when I see it there in my backyard.
Plus that I have a swimming pool close to the place where it usually stays, so you can imagine that I feel in holiday right in my backyard. 🙂
So if you want to get this daybed and you're thinking about a color, I definitely recommend you turquoise. It's true that your backyard isn't exactly as mine and you may have other preferences when it comes to colors, but I really can't imagine a color for this daybed that looks better than turquoise. My opinion…
…But It Faded Away Completely In 6 Months
That was a big disappointment for me…
Though I had read a lot of reviews and many people complained about this, I thought their fabric must have faded because they have chosen the red one. And that would normally fade faster…
So I thought they didn't even care too much about the daybed, they probably let it out in the rain, they never cleaned it up and stuff like that. That's why I wasn't very surprised to hear the color faded. And I was convinced mine wouldn't, as I would take proper care of it…
But I was so wrong. 🙁
I can't say I always kept the daybed in the sun, because I would sometimes bring the ottoman inside or move the sofa in the middle of the backyard. So somehow the sofa stayed more in the sun than the ottoman, which means that the larger part should have faded easier than the ottoman.
But there wasn't much difference actually. The cushions were the first ones to fade, that's true. They faded about 3 months let's say…I mean after 3 months you could see a difference between the rest of the fabric and the cushions.
But after 2 months the fabric had also faded away, so there wasn't a very big difference. Besides, the ottoman had also faded enough, even though it wasn't non-stop in the sun, just half of the time. So I don't know what to say about it…
You can imagine that I was extremely disappointed, because I really loved this daybed and it was perfect for my backyard. And I somehow regret not keeping it in a covered place, like on my patio, or taking it away when it was very hot outside. But it's too late now…
So the only advice I can give you is to protect the fabric from the sun, no matter what color it has. I thought turquoise would fade much harder, but this wasn't true. Therefore, if you can, keep the daybed in the shade as much as possible. You'll see a difference, believe me. 😉
The Rattan Fabric Looks Really Exotic…But It's Really Bad
I talked about the growing popularity of rattan and wicker in one of my previous posts, and I also said how much I like these 2 similar fabrics.
It's not only that they look natural and simple, but they are also extremely exotic. They make me think about the bamboo forests I used to see in geographic magazines when I was little. I always wanted to visit one! So you can imagine that I absolutely love these fabrics.
However, it's not everything so good… 🙁
Although I absolutely adored the fabric in the first months, after about 7-8 months I noticed that in certain parts, it started to fall apart.
This wasn't very visible at first, and I tried not to pull it because it would have become worse. At that point, there were only some woven parts that got broken, but a few weeks later the wicker started felling apart really bad in some parts.
And the problem was that there wasn't too much to do about it. I tried adding some special glue and I managed to make it look slightly better, but you could still see it was broken. That happened after about 10 months. So it didn't even last in good conditions for a full year.
A month later, which is 11 months after buying it, I decided to give it away because there was absolutely no way I could make it look decent anymore.
And that's how my exotic daybed turned into a completely fallen apart furniture piece… 🙁
For This Price, It's Actually Cheap…How's That?
Yeah, you read the title well…compared to other daybed, $1,000 is actually a really low price.
Believe me, I saw a lot of daybeds in all the furniture shops from my area. Initially I wanted to buy one from there, but after seeing the prices they had, I preferred to remain daybed-less than to spend so much money.
Without exaggerating, I think the cheapest daybed I found there was around $2,800. And this was actually the worst-looking one, it didn't have a cover and it was much smaller than the rest. The quality may have been decent, I don't know…but seriously, I would have never paid so much for it!
Maybe only if I was a billionaire, which I am not for now. 😛
So compared to those ones, this daybed from LexMod is really cheap. Its price is less than half, it looks much better (honestly) and it is also a 3-in-1 item. It has enough downsides but I don't want to talk about this right now, as I'm focusing on the price thing.
So it remains the cheapest daybed I found until now. $1,000 may seem a very high price, and it really is so, but if we compare it with the price of other daybed, it immediately looks better. 😀
That's why I'm not a huge fan of daybeds and I didn't talk too much about them so far. All of the are extremely expensive and their quality is much lower than you would expect, at this price.
So this piece from LexMod has the best price I found, but you've seen what I think about its quality….

My Final Verdict – Worth Paying $1,000 For It?
Before I end this review, I want to sum up my opinion about thi LexMod daybed: it's a gorgeous piece with a high level of comfort and a pretty good price (for a daybed) , but with a very poor quality and fabric.
Considering that mine lasted less than a year and that it deteriorated in a really bad way, I wouldn't recommend it even if it cost $500.
So I don't believe it's worth buying it, because paying $1,000 for an item that lasts less than a year isn't the best thing you can do.
And that's available even more for many other daybeds, that I haven't reviewed. Honestly, I haven't found (or heard) about any daybed that lasts well for several years or that people praise. All of them all made in a very bad way, they last really little and to make matters worse…they cost enormously.
However, if you plan to place this daybed in a covered place or on your patio, then it may be a much better investment. It gets damaged because of the sun, so keeping it in a covered place would solve all the problems. That would be the only situation in which I would recommend it.
So what can you do if you want an daybed for outside, not for a covered place?
Well, if you still want a daybed, my recommendation is to get a different one.
There are 2 kinds of daybeds: inside or outside ones.
If outside daybeds really suck, inside ones are much better, or I should rather say that I found a few that are much better (not all :P). Besides, they also have much more advantages like a longer durability, a much lower price and a really wide range of options to choose from.
And you can even take the outside, if you chose a piece that can blend a garden decor. 🙂
So that's my recommendation: instead of spending thousands of dollars on outdoor daybeds that last less than a year, get an inside daybed instead, for less money and more years!
Now tell me, what do you think about the Lexmod Taiji Outdoor Wicker Patio Daybed Ottoman In Espresso With Turquoise Cushions?
Would you buy this daybed? Or you would choose an indoor one instead, for a much better price?
