The Learning in Business Research Associates (Libra), an independent
research body in the e-learning sector, is making its resource data, research
and information available on request.
The material, some of it previously commissioned by e-learning vendors, can
enter the public domain six months after it has been made available to the
organisation that commissioned it.
The material relates principally to the UK e-learning market and varies from
research on the key issues in the instructional design of e-learning materials
to measuring the return on investment from projects.
"In some major corporations where there may be thousands of learners,
ROI is becoming a major issue. The cost per head could, in theory, drop to a
few pounds," says Libra MD Vaughan Waller.
"But on top of that, you have to add the significant cost of a learning
content management system and all the work involved in planning and
implementing the whole project. To bring a sense of reality to the e-learning
industry, it is important to disseminate reliable, accurate information – if
only to set it against the hyperbole that seems to prevail in this

Throughout her career, Shirley Williams has taken a keen interest in new technologies and their use in teaching and learning; from her first involvement in teaching and learning as an undergraduate in the 1970s, helping her fellow students get to grips with one of the early interactive computers, to her current work on the EU-funded MUVEnation project, helping teachers understand how virtual worlds can be used to encourage pupil motivation.
*Since winning her award in 2009, Penny has subsequently retired.*
Penny Wiggins is a Learning and Teaching Fellow having being selected by the university as a Fellow of the 'Blended Learning Unit', the university's Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. Penny is also Associate Head of the School of Law.
Anita's interest is in the group of learners whose life/work responsibilities preclude them from undertaking full-time higher education, and whose own education took place prior to the recent widening participation initiatives. The common thread which draws together all her activities as an academic is her interest in learning, teaching and assessment, particularly as it relates to the experience-based learning of mature professional students. This interest is the focus of both her research and her practice.
Dr Helen Walkington is Principal Lecturer in Geography at Oxford Brookes University and her pedagogical mantra is 'geography is learnt through the soles of your feet.' She has used reflections on her own research experience to inform her teaching, where she has created opportunities for students to carry out field-based research through placements, expeditions, fieldtrips and experiential learning courses.
"David Taylor's teaching approach combines the incisiveness of a basic scientist, the wit of a comedian, and the compassion of a priest (which he is)." (A colleague from Manchester, 2008)
David Taylor was trained as a neurophysiologist in Leeds, London and the Max-Planck Institute in Bad Nauheim. He came to Liverpool in 1983 with the idea of staying for three or four years, but somehow got involved.
Arran Stibbe is a senior lecturer in Humanities and a fellow of the Centre for Active Learning. He says that his teaching philosophy can be summed up in ten words 'The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery' (Mark van Doren). Yet developing this art has taken a journey of his own discovery, into realms of active learning, inclusive classroom interaction and assessment for learning, and the journey is ongoing.
Mike Sharp has two passions in his work with students as the Head of Department for Business Information Technology and Enterprise. Firstly, widening participation by breaking down the barriers to HE for students through identifying the challenges for them and designing programmes, courses and study modes that allow them to access HE and succeedss. Secondly, ensuring students have ability to manage complexity early in their studies.
Pam Shakespeare has worked for thirty years on courses and packs reaching over 75,000 learners. One key problem in developing practice-based distance learning has fascinated and concerned her throughout her career. The problem is this – if you don't know anything about someone's life and experience, how can you help them use it for learning and develop a relationship with them?

General Star Management Co. has launched a trio of specialized product liability coverages called "Encore!" designed to protect manufacturers, importers and distributors from product liability exposures arising out of discontinued products, mergers or acquisitions, or other past product exposures.
Discontinued Products coverage is available on both occurrence and claims-made forms, depending on individual risk characteristics. A three-year policy term is standard and can be increased to five years where eligible. With premiums that are fully earned at inception and non-adjustable, the policy offers a single aggregate for the policy term.
Additional insured status for the purchasing company is an option, subject to eligibility requirements. General Star provides primary limits of up to $2 million; excess limits are available depending on the applicant's risk profile.
Retroactive Limits of Liability provides protection for a merger or acquisition scenario in which the seller has no or inadequate product liability coverage.
General Star provides claims-made coverage with limits of up to $1 million with a one day policy term and a customized reporting period designed to meet the requirements of the merger/acquisition. Retro dates of up to five years are available, subject to eligibility.
Liability Trigger Conversion provides "Nose" coverage under a variety of scenarios when a business converts its liability insurance from a claims-made to an occurrence form. Protection is provided on an occurrence basis, with a liability trigger conversion endorsement.
Nose coverage is provided on a one-year term and is renewable annually. Limits of up to $2 million per occurrence are available for eligible applicants. Excess coverage will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Underwritten by General Star's Casualty Division, primary and excess coverage is provided on a non-admitted basis by General Star Indemnity Co. General Star is a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Reinsurance Corporation, a member of the Berkshire Hathaway family of companies.

Spore was a living, thinking super bio weapon created by the Deviants when they were at war with the Eternals back in the prehistoric era. When Spore was created and unleashed, it consumed any living being -Humans, Deviants, or Eternals- it could find.[1]
As he targeted all three Celestials-created species, Spore was deemed an abomination and a threat to the Celestials' schemes and was destroyed by one of them[1] during the Second Host.[2]
Unfortunately Spore's now liquefied remains were absorbed into the soil beneath him when he was killed and his essence survived in the plants that sprouted from the ground allowing him to regenerate and come back to life in the place of his demise now called Tierra Verde. That land was controlled by a drug lord named Felix Guillermo Caridad.[1]
Spore was resurrected through the cocaine that was manufactured from the plants which grew from the soil when Caridad injected himself with a dose of tainted cocaine and was transformed into Spore himself.[1]
The Monster came into conflict with Wolverine and La Bandera leading to a vicious battle, fortunately Spore was eventually defeated when it was touched by a mutant named Sister Salvation and hasn't been seen since then.[3]

|Energy Projection

Immortality: After having consumed Eternals, Spore acquired their genes for immortality.[1]

By Peter Staunton in Marrakech
Sergio Ramos has labelled Real Madrid "God's team" after being questioned over the Pope's allegiance to Club World Cup final opponents San Lorenzo.
The head of the Catholic Church has supported the Argentine side – who lifted the Copa Libertadores to qualify for the tournament – since his youth, but the Madrid defender believes his side have divine powers.
"The way I believe I am a Christian, but in football it does not usually help much," he said ahead of Saturday's game.
"In the semi-finals we noticed the love from supporters in Marrakech and it seemed like we were playing at home. That sums up the greatness of this team. Madrid is God's team and the team of the world. In Argentina all Argentines love football with a passion. We will try to give joy to all Madridistas, but the Pope is supporting San Lorenzo!"
Ramos intends to play despite being struck down by a thigh injury in the semi-final against Cruz Azul.
The Spain international returned to Madrid training on Friday after missing Thursday's session in order to undergo a recovery session at the team's hotel.
He was replaced during the second half against the Mexicans after opening the scoring but is determined to take part in a tournament that he has never won before.
"The feelings of the past two days have been good and positive," he said. "There is a training session today, we have to assess how I'm feeling. Today, I'm not that concerned. I'll progress step by step, match by match.
"This is a special moment because we are playing a final and I've never played this final before. That's my motivation. But if there's a great risk you have to take it seriously but we're going to train and we'll see how I'm feeling."
Meanwhile, Real coach Carlo Ancelotti has given his other injury concern James Rodriguez a clean bill of health ahead of the final at the Stade de Marrakech, but was cautious over the selection of Ramos.
"James has no risk," he said. "He's been training since Wednesday, he feels well. He has no major injury. He's fully recovered.
"Sergio had a problem but this muscle injury is not that severe. We have to assess his training, we have to talk to him and see how he is feeling. The decisions of the medical staff are important."
Neither Ancelotti nor Ramos would be drawn on the current controversy over the appointment of the officials for the final.
The San Lorenzo president, Matias Lammens, suggested on Wednesday that Madrid would favour Portuguese official Pedro Proenca and the Argentine camp also described Pepe as a "violent" player. The Guatemalan Walter Lopez will take charge of the fixture.
"We don't mind who the referee is," the centre-back added. "We hope that the referee officiates properly. I don't want to create any conflict or discussion. Any team would want Pepe, he's one of the best defenders in the world."
Ancelotti added:"We are focusing on playing well. Everything else around the game doesn't interest us. I don't even know the name of the referee."

In the South, Mothers are elevated to a deity status. I don't know when it started or when we decided to take the Mother worship to the next level, but it is a fact of life in the South. Probably Elvis Presley's famous relationship with his Mother was the most public example of a powerful man becoming a little boy again when in the presence of his Mother.
As a boy growing up in the 1950's in the South, I remember that the important things in my life were sports and my friends. The emphasis on sports came from my Dad, who I think was trying to insure that I didn't become "light in my loafers", which is a story for another time.
My friends were a collection of kids from the neighborhood, all within four or five years of me. I was the youngest and smallest, but I tried extra hard so I wouldn't be the last one chosen in our pickup games. We recognized two seasons, football and baseball, both to be played in a little park across the street from my house. The park was about forty yards long and twenty yards wide and was built on a slight grade of about 15 degrees. At age nine I remember the field being as big as Soldier Field in Chicago and the grade being like climbing Everest.
Offense always went uphill, whether we were batting or receiving a kickoff. We would take on the persona of our favorite athletes and did the best we could to emulate Mickey Mantle or Johnny Unitas in our play. The games were always hard fought, for the "championship of the world", and were only broken up by lunch or the inevitable sunset.
We were an isolated community, and it was quite shocking to have a group of black kids our age show up one fall day and asking to play in our pickup game. I think David Livingston aka Liberace, knew the eldest black kid, and that may have been the connection to this improbable scenario. As there were less of "them" than there were of us, we were forced to choose mixed teams, preventing the desired "whites vs. coloreds" called for by some of the older boys.
What transpired was my introduction into how a game could become a sport. The play was faster, the hitting was much harder and the intensity was at a level I had never experienced in our daily pickup games. There was blood, but there was athleticism and respect. I have no idea whether I was on the winning side or not, I just recall be called for lunch and that that was our cue for the end of the game. We were dirty, sweaty and thirsty.
As I headed to my house across the street from the park, a bunch of the guys asked if they could get a drink of water at my house before heading home. I said "sure" and was leading a procession through my front door when we were met by my Mom who shooed us to the spigot on the side of the house. As we did not have a hose on the spigot, to get a drink you had to get on your knees and turn your head sideways under the spigot, not exactly an ideal situation. I was asked to get a glass from the house, where I was refused by my Mom and told to get rid of everyone as soon as possible.
When I returned inside I was berated for bringing coloreds into the house (stealing the family silver) and asking for a glass (transmission of disease). I was let known I was to never associate with those boys again and if I snuck off and did it I'd get whipped. I was given a racist anthropology lesson and confined to my room for the rest of the day, which was fine because I was worn out.
This racist world view was my dictum until 1967 when I made my first black friend. Fortunately for me the world was changing, and I was able to understand why it needed to change.
Today is Mom's birthday, Happy Birthday Mom.

Sex addiction can be suffered by both the male and the female, but it is most prevalent in men. Sex addiction is the overpowering desire for sex; it becomes a problem and is considered to be an addiction when the sexual act happens often enough to interfere with a normal life. Addiction to sex has a damning effect on relationships, friendships, careers and lifestyle.
There is a fine line drawn between enjoying sex, and sex addiction. Sexual addiction gives way to lengthy periods of time when the individual is given completely over to sexual activities. Sex addicts rarely are capable of controlling their sexual behavior nor can they control the incidence. Sex addicts often use this overwhelming desire as a cover up for other problems such as social isolation, depression and stress.
Sex addicts tend to have distorted views; they attempt to rationalize their behavior by blaming others. They will vehemently deny they have a problem and make many feeble excuses for their actions.
Risk-taking is a natural outcome of sex addiction. The addict engages in many forms of sexual activity, unmindful of the consequences. Not only does the addict damage his own relationships and social life, he puts at risk the emotions of the partners and the risk of physical injury.
Sex addiction can progress into illegal activities such as exhibitionism, instituting obscene phone calls or Internet contact or molestation. Being a sex addict does not necessarily mean that the person is a sex offender.
Behaviors associated with sexual offenders:
*Having multiple partners and extra-marital affairs
*Having sex with prostitutes and anonymous partners; sex addicts treat sexual partners as objects and not as a social intimate.
*Excessive and compulsive masturbation
*Use of pornographic materials, chat rooms and on-line pornography sites
*Unsafe sex
*Voyeurism, watching others engaged in a sex act
*Molestation and rape
The causes of sexual addiction:
As with most mental disorders, why sexual addiction occurs is conjecture and theory. It can be used as a coping mechanism to cover deep emotional problems or a personality disorder, it can also be the results of childhood molestation; bipolar disorder or OBD are all potential reasons and causes.
Generally speaking, the person who suffers this addiction gets very little pleasure from this sexual activity and forms no bonds, emotional or otherwise with the partner. The addiction often leads to a feeling of deep shame and guilt.
Getting help:
Sexual addiction, which is an intense preoccupation with sex, requires the help of a professional. The deviate should be seen by a trained psychologist or psychiatrist or sex-therapist. Usually the treatment regimen is dependent on the underlying cause; behavioral treatments have been found to be beneficial in the treatment.
Sex addiction is one of the mental health disorders that are treated by the specialists at Cedar Hills Hospital in Beaverton, OR. The hospital caters to inpatient, partial hospitalization or outpatient care.

This content has been archived. It may no longer be relevant
I don't usually do request posts (mostly because I don't get any good requests!) but I'm always happy to help a friend in need. So when Katie called on me for help dressing her post-pregnancy bod, I got straight on the case. I'm sure she's not the only woman who's strugged to dress as her body has changed following pregnancy, and as I'm hitting the age now where lots of my friends are starting families, so I get the feeling this post might be useful to a fair few other people in times to come. Katie said "I used to be slim with modest boobs. Then I had a baby. Now I am slimmish, but with a flabbier stomach that pops out after I've even looked at some food, and a pair of magically enhanced breasts, a couple of sizes bigger. Nothing fits me any more and I don't understand how or where to shop!" Now, I like to think I know a little bit about dressing for a body with ample boobs and a tum (baby or not) so, without further ado…
For work, I think the key to this is to look for softly tailored items that make the most of the soft curves you have, but still give you room to move (and give your body room to change). For play, stick with things that are comfy, made from nice, quality fabrics, and are adjustable so you can keep wearing them through any fluctuations.
Here are some fab frocks to start with…
Purple/Cream cowl 2-in-1 dress £42 Closet at Dorothy Perkins
– Long-term readers will know I really rate Closet for work dresses, as they get the smart/casual thing perfectly and the cut is really good for a curvier figure, though you may have to go up a size as the waist is usually quite small. Going for a darker bottom and lighter top draws the eye upwards and the cowl neck is really good for making the most of a great cleavage.
Fanfare Jersey tie dress £67 French Connection
– Jersey is a great fabric that's easy to take care of, doesn't crease and hangs brilliantly. French Connection have a great way of draping it to make universally flattering frocks, and this one, with its gathers at the waist, would look amazing on a petite, curvy figure without being too revealing at the neck.
Anya Cowl dress £85 Monsoon
– I love the colour of this and the shape reminds me of much pricier dresses from Whistles. Again there's a cowl which gives it a bit of a glam feel without being too over the top, and the gathered skirt gives it a bit of a fashion-y edge to stop it looking too baggy and dull.
Knot front dress £120 Vero Moda Very at ASOS
– If you're conscious of your tummy then dresses that are nipped really tightly at the waist might be a bit scary because you risk a 'bump' underneath. But anything too shapeless can be boring. I think this dress is the happy medium. It definitely skims the middle section, but the detail at the front stops it looking like a sack. Great colour for brunettes, too.
Dart fan detail dtress £65 Warehouse
– This dress really makes the most of any curves, but the gathers mean it doesn't cling too much to any small lumps or bumps so it's a bit more forgiving than something more Joan Holloway-esque and doesn't require loads of shapewear underneath for a smooth line. Post-baby curves are gorgeous, so you may as well make the most of them and get your wiggle on!
And now, for play…
Multi striped Askern wrap dress £129 Hobbs
– You know I love a bold print, and there's no reason why you should dump colour and print just because you've gained the odd pound. The idea that horizontal stripes add 'bulk' is a myth. This dress would look amazing on any figure.
Mid-wash skinny flare jeans £15 Dorothy Perkins
– A good classic shape that makes the most of a good bum and balances the figure brilliantly. I am the queen of gently flared jeans. Bootcut might be a bit old-fashioned and mumsy, but the skinny flare is great, and I love a dark wash which can sometimes be ok for work too (if work allows denim).
Two-tone orange and navy dress £35 Zara
– This is a great colour and the darker panels streamline it perfectly. The shape is inherently wearable and easy to throw on at the weekend when you don't fancy jeans. I'd team it with navy wedges or a pair of little ballet flats for a really simple look.
Black stripey long-sleeved V bow top £91 Love Moschino at My-Wardrobe
Yeah, it's expensive, but there are plenty of cheaper alternatives! This is a nice take on the classic breton striped top, with a bit of a girly touch. It'd look just as good with a pencil skirt for work as it would with jeans for the weekend, and the shape skims the hips and waist without digging in.
Twist trim grey blouse £35 Miss Selfridge
– This is another great multifunctional top that would go with all kinds of different outfits, and the detail will help to create the illusion of a perfect hourglass shape, skimming the tum and cinching the waist. Add a big long pendant to really draw people's attention.
Black sheer floral print kimono jacket £42 Topshop
– A kimono jacket is the ultimate item for taking all those pre-pregnancy tops that are feeling a bit tight and making them wearable again. Chuck this on over the top of all those old vests, t-shirts and so on, and give them a new lease of life.
Frill detail pink blouse with belt £14.99 H&M
– Not all tops have to be v-necked, and this little frill detail one is a lovely alternative with a cute print that's crying out to be teamed with denim. The little belt is a nice touch, though it can be removed for something more floaty and feminine.
Safari Top (centre) £29 Hobbs Outlet
– Looking for something that'll really get people's attention? This does the job – the top alternative to a wrap dress, in a real 'look at me' print. It'd be lovely with slinky trousers or an a-line skirt and heels for a night out, but would also work with something more casual too. Pop a vest underneath if it's a bit low in the neck for daytime.
All these items come with a caveat, of course, and that is the right underwear. I'm sure I don't need to stress the importance of being frequently re-fitted for a bra, and also making sure you're not squeezing into too-tight old pairs of knickers that create horrible lines and VPL with every outfit. Your ladybits have just squeezed a baby out…don't force them into cheap, Primark pants, treat them to a bit of luxury!
Oh, and obviously I've never had a baby so I'm only going on my tried-and-tested rules. If any other new mums have any suggestions of how to get used to all those new-found curves, do share!

text: Home > Business Geithner's planned departure puts Obama in a tough spot By Rachelle Younglai, Reuters Posted at Jan 05 2013 09:42 AM | Updated as of Jan 05 2013 05:42 PM Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner speaks at the Institute of International Finance's annual meeting in Tokyo in this October 11, 2012 file photo. Reuters WASHINGTON - U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's plans to leave near the end of January put the White House in a tricky spot, depriving the Obama administration of its longest-serving economic adviser for its next fiscal showdown with Congress. Geithner, who spent his years as Treasury secretary battling the financial crisis and then fighting with Republican lawmakers in 2011 over raising the U.S. debt ceiling, has wanted to leave government service for some time. The Treasury Department said Geithner "has previously stated that he plans to be at Treasury until around" the Jan. 21 inauguration. The department said it did not plan to make any further announcements about the timing of Geithner's departure until after his successor is named. Bloomberg News reported that Geithner would leave at the end of January. Obama chose Geithner to lead the just-ended negotiations with Congress to avert the Dec. 31 fiscal cliff of spending cuts and tax hikes that threatened to push the economy back into recession. But the deal, which preserved most of the Bush-era tax breaks for Americans, sets up a series of crucial fiscal deadlines by delaying automatic spending cuts until March 1 and not increasing the government's borrowing limit. That puts Obama in the tough spot of nominating another Treasury secretary and asking the Senate to approve his choice when lawmakers are in the middle of another budget battle. "The confirmation process will be nasty regardless as it will be a referendum on Obama's economic and deficit plans," said Chris Krueger, a policy analyst with Guggenheim Partners. Geithner has already resorted to using emergency measures in order to give the Treasury Department the ability to pay government bills and avoid a damaging debt default. The country hit its $16.4 trillion debt limit Dec. 31, and the Treasury is on track to run out of funds in February. If Congress does not raise the debt ceiling on time, the United States would default on its debt payments and roil markets worldwide. "From a confidence standpoint, you don't want to change the man at the top during a crisis," said Ward McCarthy, chief financial economist at Jefferies & Co in New York, adding that Geithner could still provide guidance as an adviser after he leaves. Lawmakers are at war with each other over the size of government, and Republicans plan to use the debt ceiling increase to extract massive spending cuts from Democrats. And Geithner had managed to win the respect of Republican lawmakers, especially in the volatile House of Representatives. FILLING THE VOID Geithner was instrumental in helping Republican President George W. Bush and then Obama fight the 2007-09 credit crisis, first as the president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank and then as Obama's only Treasury secretary. He survived calls for his resignation over how the Treasury handled the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program bank bailout fund. He fought with Republican lawmakers over raising the debt ceiling in 2011. As he tried to resign, Obama asked him to stay through the November presidential election. Obama's chief of staff, Jack Lew, is widely expected to be chosen to replace Geithner. But a number of key Republicans do not like working with Lew, the former budget director, which could potentially exacerbate the raw relations between the administration and Congress. "Geithner's leadership and expertise would undoubtedly be a tremendous asset to the president and the country as we confront this next challenge," said Max Baucus, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which is in charge of vetting the next treasury secretary. It is not clear who Obama would choose to lead negotiations for the next set of fiscal deadlines. Vice President Joe Biden, who helped broker the fiscal cliff deal, or Rob Nabors, the White House's main liaison to Congress, could fit that bill. "That is a lot of experience and steadiness that you would be getting rid of," said Steve Bell, a former Senate budget committee staff director who is now an economic policy director with the Bipartisan Policy Center.

Fake iMessage App For Android Surfaces, Raises Security Concerns
There's something fishy about this iMessage app for Android, and it's not the fact that it's using an outdate iOS 6 skin. While that should be a first warning sign, the reality is that the app, which recently appeared in the Google Play Store, is the work of a third-party developer. It by no means provides official cross-platform access to Apple's popular messaging service.
9to5Mac reports that scrutiny of the .apk file – the form the program takes outside the Play Store ecosystem – suggests that there is a serious potential risk to personal data. The app works by using the developer's own server as a proxy to spoof messages into appearing to come from an iPad Mini, thus bypassing the strict "Apple Only" nature of the iMessage protocol. However, in doing so, it means that the developer has access to all of your message data.
People that have tried the app reported varying results – some report that they can only message other Android users, while others have only some Apple contacts.
In addition to these security flaws, the iMessage app requires you to sign in with a working Apple ID. As you probably already know if you have one, your Apple ID stores payment information and personal data, and serves as your gateway into a number of Apple services.
The iMessage for Android app is available as a free download in the Google Play Store and is by a developer called Daniel Zweigart.


text: Politics 25 April 2010 Don't kid yourself about Mumsnet Sign-up It is always wise to approach with caution the subject of Mumsnet. Journalists who fall foul of the collective wisdom of its members can find themselves roasted on a public spit, spiced with the sanctimony that tends to flavour the opinions of Mumsnetters. (Gosh, was that approaching it carefully?) One of the lessons painfully learned by every journalist over the past decade is how nasty the public space has become. When I was writing columns in the Times ten years ago, the worst you could expect was a condescending letter from Sir Bufton Tufton beginning, "Dear 'Ms' Miles, as I suppose you call yourself . . ." That, and the odd stalker. I once had a man called John who used to write 20 pages of neatly handwritten A4, sometimes breaking into Capital Letters: "Am I Wasting My Time Doing these things. As usual, every second Thursday, I have to go through a green Plastic bin, To fish out anything that you have Done. I then stuff them into a Bureau that is kept in an outside Greenhouse extension. The drawers can hardly be opened now. Alice - am I Just Wasting My Time Doing this." Primark suspect At least John was polite. With the internet, everything has changed. Partly it is because readers are able to fire off missives at 1.30am: "you silly cow". Partly it is because newspapers encourage sillier and more extreme opinions in the hope of getting more "hits" on the website; all very well for advertising figures, not so much fun for the person being hit. Mostly it is down to a decline in deference - online columns do not carry the authority of print versions. There is no authority online; everyone is equal. Some people seem to find that hard to deal with and respond by turning into children. If you reply to the rudest messages with polite responses, you almost invariably receive contrite apologies - "I never thought you would read it", "I'm sorry I was a bit angry", or even "Now I've read the column properly . . ." There is a disconnect between the intemperate message and the person who sent it. It is most odd. The strange relationship people have with "online" is a challenge for adherents of "e-democracy" and undermines the fashionable theme of the "Mumsnet election". Will Mumsnet make such a difference on 6 May? It's a nice idea for the media, allying neatly with the fascination for leaders' wives - cue pictures of SamCam's handbags and Sarah Brown's shoes. You can see why it's taken off so well. When I popped on to Mumsnet just now, there were a couple of fairly lively threads on the manifestos, but nowhere near as lively as the discussion about whether Primark ought to be offering padded bikinis for seven-year-olds. The day of the Liberal Democrat manifesto launch is admittedly not the most gripping of political moments, and the Primark story was pretty amazing. Although not as amazing as some of the comments on Mumsnet. "Stoppinattwo: Mrs Shu - I have been nothing but polite, if you intend to wind me up by implying that my daughter wants tits and is not normal then you arnt worth the discussion, you obviously always make the right choices and your children are all perfectly balanced." Blog off So what will make a difference to the election result? A survey conducted for the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts at the start of the campaign showed that 64 per cent of voters expect to learn about it from TV, 47 per cent from newspapers, 27 per cent from radio and 19 per cent from promotional materials. Compare these with the proportions expecting to get information from blogs (3 per cent) or social networking sites (2 per cent). Some interesting ongoing research at Southampton and Manchester universities, led by Professor Graham Smith, has found a distinctly limited role for mature online political debate. Among thousands of people who offered to take part in an experiment to see whether online forums are effective at changing attitudes to policy, half did not even log in. Of those who did log in, well over two-thirds never accessed any of the easily digestible information offered. When people posted comments, they were simply assertions of opinion or references to personal experience. And the only people whose minds were changed by the experiment were those few who actively contributed to the online discussion - and who were changing their views not due to better information, but due to other participants' largely uninformed opinions. Just because the medium has changed does not mean there is a world of difference between Sir Bufton Tufton, John and stoppinattwo.

MILF Explorer webcam sex free mature features a wide variety of mothers playing solo, with guys, and sometimes with other hot moms. For under $30.00, a member gets access to photos and videos of all these MILFs doing dirty deeds. The site's content is optimized for high bandwidth users. The photos are crisp and clear and the videos ' in WMV format ' are pleasing enough to watch. The videos are separated into parts to be watched within a browser and are also available for download. I really liked the videos on this site. There is some actual dialogue and a concrete plotline. The themes chosen are pretty interesting, including an awkward college guy that is hot for his best friend's mom.
While Nikki presents a loud design on the outside, her navigation is a bit quieter as the content can be found through small text links that are clumpy and jumbled. Her webcam mature PICS & VIDS & STORIES section contain poor quality thumbnails to links such as My Pictures, Pics From My Old Site, Pro Shot Videos, My Home Videos as well as a My Friends section with one friend listed and a My Dirty Stories area with only one story written in a single, lengthy paragraph. As she posts old photos from a previous website she has been a part of along with seemingly older looking home videos, a good portion of her content doesn't appear to be very exclusive while her newer pictures and videos tend to be lower in quantity. Videos are in WMV format and the majority of her content is in fact hardcore, with the occasional dildo fucking routine. Unfortunately, her webcam section seems to never really be working and there is no set schedule for Nikki's appearances so if you catch her on, it's just by luck. Unlike many other individual sites, she is not affiliated with a cam network that allows you to look at other girls all day long.
Having said all that, there are definitely some quality milf webcam tube picture sets and videos on Milf Tease, you just have to root around a bit to find 'em. Quite frankly, the navigation on Milf Tease is downright confusing; it took me a few minutes to get my bearings and I still had trouble finding what I wanted to see. The confusion is not eased by the fact that all of Milf Tease's content is located on numerous different sites linked to Milf Tease. So is Milf Tease really 'the best place on the net to find the hottest REAL MOMS who are looking to stuff their lonely pussies with any cock they can get their hands on'? Not by a long shot. Is it worth a dollar for a three-day trial? Sure, but only if you don't forget to cancel your membership on the third day.

Skip to 0 minutes and 8 seconds Looking back and talking to my colleagues, I think managing the classroom was the thing we were all most worried about before we started. As you've heard, it can be learned and developed. So it's not something to be fearful of. I'm not saying it's always been easy, and there definitely has been some challenges. But major incidents are incredibly rare. And it's actually more about dealing with low level disruption in the classroom, like pupils constantly talking. There are definitely things that you can do before you start your teacher training to help you find your voice and be assertive in the classroom, which will allow you to have a good start with your classes. Your voice is an important tool in your classroom.
Skip to 0 minutes and 45 seconds You don't need to shout. But you do need to be clear and be understood by your pupils. When we were interviewing for teacher training, we were asked to do a presentation. It was evident who had prepared well, who had thought about what they were going to say. But also about who had the most potential to talk to a class. The teachers are not looking for students to be a finished article, but you do need to have some presence and good communication skills before you start. I used to practise what I was going to say to my classes at home. I would stand at the top of the stairs and see if my sister could hear me from the kitchen.
Skip to 1 minute and 17 seconds I didn't shout. But I did have to project my voice using my stomach muscles, something I'd never really had to think about before. There are lots of videos and hints online that you can use to try and help you do this as well. You will need to make sure that your voice can be heard above the classroom noise when you want to get the class to be quiet. It's also really important to speak clearly. Some of the trainee teachers on my course had quite an accent, which there's nothing wrong with. But they did have to be very careful about their pronunciation, especially with those key words, making sure that they are clear for others to understand.
Skip to 1 minute and 50 seconds If you've got pupils in your class who have hearing difficulties, or are learning in a second language, then it is especially important for them to be able to understand what their teacher is saying. If pupils cannot understand the instructions, then they're most likely to start playing up and misbehave in your lesson. A good idea is to record your own voice, and listen to it back, and check what you are saying and making sure that it is clear. It's not always a comfortable thing to do. But it's definitely a worthy thing to do as it reveals a lot about yourself. Your body language is another important tool for managing your classroom.
Skip to 2 minutes and 25 seconds You need to come across as confident, even if you're not inside. But it has to appear that you are in front of your class. The children are more likely to respond to your instructions if you have a confidence about you, and you are able to carry yourself well in front of them. It sounds a little bit daft. But you can practise in front of a mirror, or even record yourself, and then watch it back. Think about things like, how does the way you stand project your confidence? What about your facial expressions? You don't have to frown, a confident smile, in fact, will be a positive start with your classes. The most useful thing to do is to watch other teachers.
Skip to 3 minutes and 2 seconds They will have their own way of doing things. But you can definitely pinch their ideas. Think about things like, how do they address their class? What do they do to signal that they want the class to be quiet? How do they make use of their voice? Behaviour management is a bit like having a tool box. The more tools you have, the easier it is for you. The earlier you start collecting your tools, the better. It also shows you're ready to tackle a classroom environment when you apply for your teaching training course.
The importance of behaviour management
Concerns about becoming beginning teachers
As Skeena explained, behaviour management is a skill that can be learnt the same as any other. That said, it is often one of the areas that beginning teachers most worry about when they start their training. Often having a space to discuss these concerns and consider alternative approaches to deal with any concerns is sufficient to alleviate anxieties applicants to teacher training may have.

Book Summary:
(Taken from Amazon)
The garotted corpse of a notorious antiquities thief and forger is discovered in an excavation pit at an archeological site near Colchester, on England's east coast. Despite being on parental leave to care for his four-month-old daughter, Detective Inspector Michael "Mick" Chandra is put in charge of the case, his family leave suspended by New Scotland Yard's commissioner.
The victim is identified as Stanislaw Janus, a former curator of pre-Roman British artifacts at the British Museum, who turned to crime by fencing his forgeries on the international antiquities black market. Prior to the murder, Janus had engineered the theft of the priceless Ravenhoe Cauldron from the Colchester Museum,. The nearly 2,000-year-old solid gold vessel had been unearthed by archeologists in the very pit where Janus' corpse was later dumped.
Mick must find Janus' murderer as well as locate the missing cauldron, but his task will not be easy. Interpol reveals that Janus assumed multiple identities and remained out of reach of law enforcement agencies. Nathaniel Wyatt, his former colleague at the British Museum, descricribes Janus as the "Steppenwolf" -- charming one minute, vicious the next. Mick calls upon he Yard's Arts and Antiquities Unit for help in this complex case.
As it turns out, he will need all the help he can get, as the case becomes increasingly fraught with danger and risk.
A diverse cast of characters illuminates and obscures Stanislaw Janus' past: Dr. Cassandra Palmer, Chief Curator of the Colchester Museum, who had known Janus for more than a decade; Dr. Gil Matcalf, director of the archeological dig, who openly disdains Janus; Alissa Woo, Metcalf's beautiful graduate assistant, who originally discovered the caludron at the Colchester sitre; Nathaniel Wyatt, Janus' former collesgue; and Anderson Peale III, noted wealthy collector of Celtic artifacts, who may not be as reputable as he seems.
Familiar faces from the two previous Mick Chandra books return as well: Jessica Beaumont, the American-born pianist who is now Mick's wife; Mick's friend and chief informant, Jamie Geller; and Mick's no-nonsense partner, Sergeant Elizabeth Chang.
The plot of The Ravenhoe Cauldron takes many u-turns and detours, often landing Mick and Elizabeth back to square one and exposing them to danger.
And what is the meaning of the mysterious rust-encrusted key sent through Mick's home mail slot bearing a note that reads: "The key to the Ravenhoe Cauldron?"
Kathy's Review:
This is the third Mick Chandra mystery that I've read, and I have enjoyed all of them. While I don't think you need to read the first two to enjoy this one, it might help to understand the characters of Mick and Jessica more. In the first novel, the relationship between Mick and Jess is the focus. In the second, they are newlyweds. In this book they now have an infant daughter, Sarabeth, and gain another addition to the family in cat, Pickles (who joins faithful dog Nessie). In getting to know this family, it deepened my appreciation for the characters in each installment of the book.
In Ravenhoe, a notorious art forger is murdered and a priceless artifact is missing – and Mick Chandra is put on the case. As he investigates, a long list of suspects is revealed, and someone is trying their best to keep Mick off their tail. Who is guilty? Is more than one murderer on the loose? As the body count rises, Mick must work to uncover the mystery behind the Ravenhoe Cauldron.
I am impressed with Ms. Yount's research in this novel. It is obvious she did her homework about art forgery and fakebusting. And again, this installment just made Mick and his wife, as well as friend Jaime Geller and Mick's partner, Elizabeth, more endearing. This is a thoroughly enjoyable and well-written series of mysteries and as always, I look forward to Mick's next case. If you haven't already read the first two books in the series, A Death in C Minor and The Erlking, do yourself a favor and pick up all three.

Technology (Innovations for Education)
Visual communications applications within higher education facilities continue to grow. As campuses begin to exploit the benefits of any-screen information delivery, an increasing number of institutions are implementing facility-wide systems that allow administrators, students and staff to directly engage with both internal and external sources of information. When combined with the ubiquity of portable screens, availability of increased bandwidth and emergence of next-generation technologies such as near field communications (NFC), the growing shift towards visual communications infrastructures is creating new opportunities for the way campuses inform, protect and collaborate within classrooms, throughout campuses or across remote locations. Used traditionally as a tool to promote specific school initiatives, screen-based broadcasts now range from publicizing carefully crafted campaigns to supporting student-driven content, alerting campus populations in the event of emergencies, ramping up recruitment efforts or facilitating the provision of distance-learning programs.
As a crisis management tool, visual communications systems allow campuses to easily transform messaging into emergency notifications — allowing security staff to immediately alert thousands via place-based screens, desktops or directly on mobile devices. As a result, campuses can react more effectively to unexpected situations and reduce response times whenever evacuations or adjustments due to inclement weather are required. Using new IP-enabled management tools and pre-set content broadcasts, content administrators can quickly target specific locations to more efficiently address their alerts.
For everyday campus activities, visual communications assets provide users with convenient wayfinding capabilities. Using a combination of dynamic software and interactive technology, staff, students and campus visitors can easily locate and download maps of custom routes by scanning quick response (QR) codes directly to their tablets or mobile phones or by simply tapping a handheld device to the screen to transfer mapping information via NFC technology. As a result, wayfinding content can now be taken on the go rather than remain static on a permanent display.
Higher education facilities have started making more significant investments in larger-format visuals such as towering video walls to "wow" visitors or promote on-campus events. Often applied as a branding or recruitment tool, sponsored content can also include highlighting successful research initiatives, faculty profiles, clips from sporting events or be used as a vehicle to promote content created by students. Large media walls are also becoming important for ensuring continued alumni funding by publicly acknowledging donor contributions.
By leveraging the new trends by which people virtually communicate, visual communications becomes a highly empowering collaborative tool. For instance, by embracing social media networks such as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, campus administrators can more actively entice audiences to interact with targeted content in a timely and relevant manner. Campus material can then be shared across online channels more effectively while students and staff become invested in the creation of peripheral conversations as their contributions appear across widespread visual communications networks.
Within physical classrooms, visual communications technology is allowing campuses to create more collaborative learning experiences for both instructors and students. For example, university finance labs are now using screen-based setups to display stock tickers and real-time display information in order to create realistic trade-floor simulations. Visual communications also allows institutions to enhance the provision of distance learning programs — enabling offsite students to access and engage directly with lecture slides, classroom video and virtual chats. We've seen projects of different sizes and scopes and facilities are able to customize their solutions to fit a variety of needs. For instance, a studio space can be used in the same manner as a traditional lecture hall. As the professor presides over a semicircle of screens, each one a stand-in for an off-site student, the unique configuration allows virtual participants to view each other via an interactive webpage. To recreate the participatory experience of in-class learning, students are able to contribute to classroom discussions via virtual hand-raising and exchange views through virtual question-answer sessions — allowing the visual communication application to provide the same degree of collaboration that is found within traditional classrooms by increasing interaction between multiple remote participants. Through these types of collaborative solutions, higher education institutions are able to leverage a cohesive mix of online, virtual and interactive technologies, creating innovative visual communication capabilities that both expand and enhance the way today's learners engage with each other as well as with the content being presented in class.
Increasingly part of the campuses' communications ecosystem, visual communications systems are also shifting from push-based digital signage installations to systems that absorb audiences by tailoring experiences according to location, audience and specific device. For instance, a content administrator can now select a different set of video clips for viewers on mobile devices, as opposed to content being sent to a massive videowall display. By selecting highly customizable channel management and scheduling tools, campus media managers are able to recreate the efficiency of a broadcast booth setup, thus curating content streams that can be timed to reach the right viewer at the right time on the right device. As a result, communication strategies are able to reach higher response rates from users, thus encouraging higher interaction rates and more collaboration.
Furthermore, today's generation of students is connected to their schools, their communities and their peers like no other contingent before them. Therefore, they have come to expect levels of collaborative capabilities that increase with every new app, social platform, and newly developed device. For schools looking to immerse their student, staff and faculty communities into genuine synergies, collaboration via integrated visual communications systems becomes essential. By allowing users to actively exchange with the various display screens that surround them — whether it be participating in online classrooms, downloading class schedules to mobile devices, submitting papers via virtual kiosks or conferencing face-to-face with support staff or professors — campuses can ensure that their academic culture remains at the forefront of today's collaborative possibilities by weaving visual communications into their daily applications.
Looking towards the future, students will increasingly demand connected capabilities that form a natural extension to their on-campus experience. Opportunities such as giving online viewers the power to directly control on-screen content, the ability to search and save records from alumni centers or the capability to virtually browse athletic achievements directly from a school's trophy case will make the campus of tomorrow an entirely interactive experience. However, creating the collaborative backbone to tie-in each innovation will remain a top priority, making visual communications technology the key to tomorrow's collaborative success.

How about You Become Mystery Shopper for a day or two, How about doing it full time and professionally?
I have never been a fan of the Mystery Shopper idea. Because how you would feel to go to the shop and spy on the poor staff? But as I got more shopping experience: good, bad. I started to notice things. I am sometimes impressed with the level of customer service but there are also some occasions that the sales assistance can put me off being in a shop and buying.
So if I would like to help employers to find out how their business is operating in and how they can improve and develop client experience even more, than I am for it. I can be a Mystery Shopper and combine my passion for shopping with the idea of helping employers. But to be completely honest, I can be paid, get free things and meals if I decided to become a mystery shopper. And this just sounds wonderful for me indeed!
Going shopping and being paid for it. I am in heaven!
So how you can get involved in this? There are plenty of UK agencies that list Myster Shoppers Opportunities. Check out for example: GFK, CheckOut Mystery Shopper, Mystery Shoppers Group just to name really a few. There are big stores themselves having mystery shoppers panels like Selfridge for example. There is also Mystery Shoppers Association which looks after the idea of a new type of profession.
Have a look and read, find out more and Become Mystery Shopper Today!

There are people who live by the norms and standards they established up to the last letter and then they demand those people around them to also adopt the same. The problem is when things are not meet, disappointments and emotional turmoil could ensue. However, perfectionism can be effectively use for greater productivity and to win over a sea of intense competition.
How can we possibly balance perfectionism and reality?
