The listening section is 60-90 minutes, and the longest passage is about five minutes long. Therefore, you should practice listening to academic passages daily for about 30-45 minutes. National Public Radio, Ted Talks, and Randall's Cyber Listening Lab are good starting points for TOEFL listening practice. To make the most our of your listening preparation, consider the following tips:
Get in the habit of taking notes as you listen.
Focus on the main points and the most important supporting points of the passages.
Using your notes, practice writing 150 word summaries of the listening passages.
Deliver 60-second oral responses to the passages, again relying on your notes.
Use Randall's Cyber Listening Lab when you want to check your listening comprehension. Focus on the difficult listening passages on that web site.
Familiarize yourself with the eight listening comprehension question types and the strategies for answering them, as you can find here.
Follow these listening strategy tips for the listening, speaking, and writing sections of the exam, as you can read more about here.
The fifteen TOEFL listening practice tests on this web page do NOT include all the question types that you will see during the listening section. In addition, some of the questions you see here will not appear on the listening section of the TOEFL test. As you can learn here, eight specific listening questions will appear on the TOEFL exam.
Nevertheless, completing these practice tests will give you excellent practice. In addition to answering the multiple choice questions, consider doing these suggested integrated speaking and integrated writing activities:
Use your notes to deliver 1-3 minute oral summaries of the listening passages. Then check the transcripts to make sure your response is complete and accurate.
After you take notes, write 250-500 word summaries of the lectures. Make sure to read the transcripts to check you for completeness and accuracy of content.
During the actual test, take notes while you listen to the academic discussions, lectures, and conversations.
Pay close attention to any cues such as transition words and stressed words that will help you to closely follow the passages.
During the speaking and writing sections of the exam, arrange your notes, which you can learn more about here, on a sheet of paper to easily show the relationship of the points in the listening to the points in the reading passage.

Beef and Sweet Potato Chili is the perfect dinner for a cold winter night. Flavorful with spices and date paste, this is also a good dish to make for a crowd. It can be lightened up by using ground turkey or chicken instead of the beef.
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and pepper. Stir occasionally until softened.
Add the garlic and stir until just fragrant. Add the ground beef. Break the beef up with a spoon or spatula and stir so it is combined with the onion and pepper.
Add the salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and oregano as the meat browns.
Crush the tomatoes in the can and pour them into the pot. Add the coffee and date paste. Stir everything together and allow the mixture to come to a boil.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes and chili flakes (add chili flakes to taste).
Reduce the heat to a simmer and give the chili a stir. Cover the pot and allow to cook for 10 minutes.
Stir the chili again, ensuring that it is not browning too much on the bottom. Continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally.
Once the sweet potatoes are tender and the chili has reached the desired thickness, remove the chili from the heat and season to taste. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Why President Trump Wishes His Relationship With His Late Brother Had Been Different
Politics 12:15 PM PDT, August 9, 2019 - Inside Edition Staff
12:15 PM PDT, August 9, 2019 - Inside Edition Staff
President Trump is expressing regret over his relationship with his late brother.
Fred Trump Jr. died when he was just 42 after suffering a heart attack due to alcoholism. In a new interview with The Washington Post, the president spoke candidly about his brother's passing, confiding that he feels haunted by Fred Jr.'s death and the events leading up to it.
"I do regret having put pressure on him," Trump told Post reporter Michael Kranish of trying to convince Fred Jr. to take a more active role in the family business. "It was just not his thing. ... I think the mistake that we made was we assumed that everybody would like it. That would be the biggest mistake."
Fred Jr., Trump said, only ever wanted to be an airline pilot, a job he did for just a short time.
But the brothers' father, Fred Trump Sr., dismissed the job as little more than "a chauffeur in the sky," the Post reported.
The interview is remarkable, Kranish told Inside Edition, because it's one of the few times the president has ever admitted a mistake publicly.
"It's very rare for the president ... to express regrets, so the fact that he did so in this case I thought was very notable," Kranish said. "He certainly did do that."
But Fred Jr.'s death has taught Trump lessons in how he plans to deal with the opioid crisis and other addictions.
"Donald Trump says today he has learned lessons from that and wants to apply those lessons to fighting alcohol and opioid abuse," said Kranish.

You Can Go Home, But You Pretty Much Have to Stay Here
Brian Doherty | 6.17.2010 12:31 PM
Yahya Wehelie, born and raised in the Virginia suburbs, is having a hard time coming home to America, reports the New York Times, and he's not alone:
As a 26-year-old Muslim American man who spent 18 months in Yemen before heading home to Virginia in early May, Yahya Wehelie caught the attention of the F.B.I. Agents stopped him while he was changing planes in Cairo, told him he was on the no-fly list and questioned him about his contacts with another American in Yemen, one accused of joining Al Qaeda and fatally shooting a hospital guard.
For six weeks, Mr. Wehelie has been in limbo in the Egyptian capital. He and his parents say he has no radical views, despises Al Qaeda and merely wants to get home to complete his education and get a job.
But after many hours of questioning by F.B.I. agents, he remains on the no-fly list. When he offered to fly home handcuffed and flanked by air marshals, Mr. Wehelie said, F.B.I. agents turned him down…..
The American authorities in Cairo canceled his passport and issued a new one Sunday with the notation, "valid only for return to the United States before Sept. 12, 2010," Mr. Wehelie said. That is his goal, he said, but he has no idea how to get home.
He's not the only one:
At least three Americans have been detained in recent weeks by the Yemeni authorities on suspicion of terrorist connections, and civil liberties advocates have identified a half-dozen Americans or legal United States residents on the no-fly list who are stranded abroad, most of them after visiting Yemen.
Kevin Drum is hoppin' mad over at Mother Jones:
This is an abomination, pure and simple. There's not the slightest question that it would be possible to allow Wehelie to fly home safely even if he were Osama bin Laden's minister of defense. The government of the United States should be allowed to search him and his luggage with abandon if they have reason to suspect him of illegal activity, and they have every right to question him for the same reason. But the right to keep him from flying home? No. That doesn't just skirt the line of what the American government should be allowed to do, it blows right by it and makes a mockery of the constitution and every smarmy bureaucrat who pretends to support it while snickering behind their hands about "carefully protecting the civil rights and privacy concerns of all Americans." How on earth can Barack Obama stand by and continue to allow stuff like this to happen?
Because Obama could not care less, and see this blog post for links to plenty of Reason and Reason associates on that point.

Albertsons and Rite Aid Call Off Merger Agreement
Credit: Getty Images by Justin Sullivan
By Melissa Campanelli
Albertsons Companies and Rite Aid Corp. announced on Wednesday that they are calling off their merger agreement. The $24 billion deal, announced in February, has faced opposition from a number of investors as well as top-10 shareholder Highfields Capital Management. Critics have argued the deal provides Albertsons' private-equity owner, Cerberus Capital Management, a vehicle to take the company public without rewarding Rite Aid shareholders in return, according to CNBC. With Rite Aid and Albertsons unable to come to an agreement, they ultimately decided to call the merger off.
Albertsons said in a statement that even though it believes the strategic rationale of the Rite Aid combination was compelling and disagrees with the notion that is wasn't offering sufficient merger consideration to Rite Aid stockholders, "we were unwilling to change the terms of the merger." Rite Aid Chairman and CEO John Standley said in a statement that "while we believed in the merits of the combination with Albertsons, we have heard the views expressed by our stockholders and are committed to moving forward and executing our strategic plan as a standalone company." Under the terms of the merger agreement, neither Rite Aid nor Albertsons will be responsible for any payments to the other party as a result of the termination.
Total Retail's Take: Wednesday's announcement is a blow to Rite Aid and Albertsons, which are both facing increased competition (cough, Amazon.com, cough) in their respective industries. In the end, the two sides were unable to structure a deal that sufficiently appealed to investors. In my opinion, the termination of this deal doesn't signify that consolidation in the grocery and pharmacy verticals will slow down anytime soon. Companies in each vertical are seeking ways to fortify their businesses — under increased pressure from online competitors — and acquisition remains a primary way of doing so.

Q: AWS redrive to source queue from dql queue., using an API in code? So in december 2021, AWS launched "DLQ redrive to source queues allows SQS to manage the lifecycle of unconsumed messages stored in DLQs."
I wanted to know can this be done through code, can i say call this from java and hit an api with say source queue arn and dlq arn as arguments and it takes care of redriving.
I have already done this using pull message off dlq queue, and then push it onto source queue using java. that was before this feature was available.

A: DLQ Redrive is not available to do programmatically right now, for now, the only way to Redrive is going to SQS console -> Go to your DLQ -> Select "DLQ Redrive"
More information can be found here: Introducing Amazon Simple Queue Service dead-letter queue redrive to source queues
