How do ordinary girls turn into extraordinary women? That was the question asked by child psychologist and author Sylvia Rimm in her books “See Jane Win” and “How Jane Won.” Her books, based on interviews with hundreds of now successful women, will be the basis of a speech Rimm is giving Wednesday, March 30, at 7:30 p.m. at Trayes Hall in the Douglass student center, [[phy_address]] in New Brunswick. The lecture is free and open to the public.
A child psychologist, columnist, author, and former correspondent to the “Today Show,” Rimm interviewed such successful women as Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor, former New Jersey governor Christine Whitman, news anchor Jane Pauley, violinist Pamela Frank, and retired rear admiral Marsha Evans.
Rimm’s research suggested the following 10 guidelines for action, as excerpted from “How Jane Won” (Crown Publishers, 2001):
Guideline for girls and women No. 1: Dare to compete. Take the risk of entering competitions in either your school or work world. Enter some competitions where you feel confident so you can experience the exhilaration of winning. But also enter some competitions in which you feel less skilled.
Not expecting to win helps you learn not to be too hard on yourself, and even small improvements can help you build confidence.
Competition and collaboration are not opposites. Selecting the appropriate occasions for cooperation and competition is part of learning to function successfully in a competitive society. If indeed you hate competition and don’t wish to learn the skills of competing, you might be happier investigating the more traditional career paths for women. They tend to be less competitive than the career fields that have been led by men.
2: It’s cool to be smart and work hard. Feeling smart doesn’t mean you have to be the smartest, nor does it mean you have to feel capable in every area. Finding your strengths and interests will help you feel good about yourself. However, don’t totally avoid or write off subjects or fields that seem difficult to you. Sometimes getting the right tutor or finding the appropriate mentor is all you’ll require to get over your fears, anxieties, or feelings of helplessness. For example, quite a few women in our survey had assumed they couldn’t do math, until they received appropriate help.
There were women in business, media, and science who deemed themselves failures before they received guidance from mentors. Your learning style may be different, and once you’ve overcome a difficult hurdle, concepts may become clearer. Your values may not fit with a particular job, and you may need to search for your own niche. Neither situation means you’re a failure, only that you must search creatively for your right place.
It can be quite difficult to be independent from your peers in school because there are so many pressures to conform. Being independent doesn’t mean you have to live a life of isolation without friends, only that you should select friends that fit with your values and that you should think carefully about those values.
3: Choose the school that fits you. Family economics and your own personality should be important factors to consider in making decisions about schools and colleges. Your parents have made your earlier decisions, but your input will be an important consideration in further decisions. You need to consider your personality honestly to determine whether you need to build assertiveness. If you are particularly shy or quiet, an all-girl or all-woman environment may encourage you to speak out. It may also provide you with more opportunity and more courage to accept leadership. Also, be honest with yourself about the effect of boys or men in your environment. They may or may not be a distraction, and only you can make that determination.
4: Choose friends who share values that matter most to you. Being social is neither bad nor good as long as your social life doesn’t interfere with your learning during your crucial school years. If you select friends who value learning, you’re likely to support each other in the process and still find time for fun. Extracurricular interests like music, sports, government, debate, drama, science, and math teams all combine learning and fun. Religious groups and specialinterest groups in high school, college, and adulthood often provide comfortable neighborhoods for friends, discussion, support, and leadership. Even if you pride yourself on your independence, research shows that teens and adults alike are affected by peer pressure. Thus, if you select or fall into a negative or boring peer group, with time you’ll find your behavior and values becoming more negative or boring, despite your assumptions to the contrary.
5: Get out and see the world. Enjoy travel with your family if you have the opportunity. In order to benefit from your experiences, you’ll need to be open to them. There may be times when you’d rather stay home, but for the most part, those experiences will simply blur in your memory. Travel is more likely to stand out as unique and help you grow as a creative person.
Try to encourage your school to organize a travel group. Participating in a student exchange program will give you a unique and unforgettable opportunity. If you’re a college student, consider spending a semester or summer in a different area.
6: Let your parents be a resource. Although adolescence and young adulthood is surely the time to establish yourself as more independent, don’t rule out parents’ recommendations that are based on their love for you and their experiences in the world. Although you should have many choices by this time in your life, during your high school years, your parents have the moral and legal responsibility for setting limits. Assume they are doing this in your best interests, even when you disagree with them.
7: Don’t let your siblings hold you back. Don’t let your birth order prevent you from taking the risk of leadership. Leadership may not feel as comfortable to you if you are the middle or youngest child, but do make deliberate attempts to take charge of committees or organizations so that you can learn to lead. If you’re the oldest in the family, don’t always insist on control. Stepping back and letting others take the lead from time to time may free up some creative energy and give you the freedom to make occasional mistakes. A balance of control and creativity is important for most careers.
When it comes to exploring your own talents, don’t avoid areas just because a talented family member seems to have claimed the spot. You may find you are equally talented, or at least more talented than you’d believed. You can have less talent than a brother, sister, or parent and still be very capable compared to the rest of the world.
8: Prepare to be challenged and get support to defeat obstacles. Your pathway to success is likely to be indirect. At some point, you’ll face lessons that will seem impossible to learn, challenges that will feel insurmountable, closed doors that you will be unable to open. Determining whether you should persevere, get help, or change directions will be the test of your resilience.
9: Balance passion with reason. Consider the values you want to derive from your career. Be realistic in balancing your love of the work with the availability of jobs, financial remuneration, time commitment, and its fit with your family and relationship goals.
There is wisdom in passionately loving your work, but despite your passion, you may not be able to achieve success, because some careers are simply too competitive. You may have to discover a passion for a new career.
10. Expect the balancing act to be a struggle. You may have many choices about the timing of your career and whether or not you want to combine your career with marriage or family life. You can expect to struggle psychologically with those is sues, and a race against the calendar for family planning is not unusual.
You may choose not to marry; you may choose to marry but not have children. Be prepared to struggle with some career choices in which you may never be certain if your success or lack thereof is tied to your abilities or to your gender.
Balance is a dynamic process. Sometimes things may get off-center in one direction or another. There’s not one perfect, ideal way to perform life’s balancing act.

May 26, · Unilateral hearing loss occurs when you experience hearing loss in the ear. This may be perceived as difficulty hearing or complete deafness. Often, those with hearing loss have problems Author: Dr. Victor Marchione. Unilateral hearing loss (UHL) means that hearing is normal in one ear but there is hearing loss in the other ear. The hearing loss can range from mild to very severe. UHL can occur in both adults and children. Approximately 1 out of every 1, children is born with UHL, and nearly 3% of school-age children have UHL.
Oct 27, · Several options exist to address adult-onset severe-profound unilateral sensorineural hearing loss with normal contralateral hearing sensitivity. One approach is traditional amplification. This will be dependent on remaining function in the affected ear and ability to achieve audibility. Mar 21, · Unilateral hearing loss (UHL) has been defined as a 3FA pure-tone average (PTA) above 20 dB HL or thresholds above 25 dB HL at two or more frequency above 2 kHz in the affected ear. 1 UHL in adults has an estimated prevalence of % of the overall population, with only 2% of people with UHL using a hearing aid or device. 2.
A unilateral hearing loss is a hearing loss in one ear, as opposed to a bilateral hearing loss, where the hearing loss occurs in both ears. A unilateral hearing loss can range from mild to severe or profound and often affects quality of life. A unilateral hearing loss may also be called a one-sided hearing loss or a single-sided hearing loss. Jul 15, · Age-related sensorineural hearing loss (i.e., presbycusis) is the most common type in adults. Several approaches can be used to screen for hearing loss, but the benefits of Cited by: 1.
If hearing loss affects one ear and not the other, called unilateral hearing loss, and if the results of hearing tests indicate that sensorineural hearing loss may be causing your symptoms, doctors may recommend an MRI scan to visualize the inner ear and surrounding structures.

Trailer Thursdays – Atomic Blonde
What would happen if you combined Jason Bourne and James Bond, set this person loose at the tail end of the Cold War and cast Charlize Theron?
You’d get a movie that sounds too good to be true! But it’s real and it’s called Atomic Blonde.
Theron is Lorraine Broughton, a spy with MI6 who goes to Berlin to take down an espionage ring that has just killed an undercover agent she knew for reasons unknown. She’s joined by David Percival (James McAvoy), a Berlin station chief who joins her in shooting, punching and kicking through anyone that stands in their way. Want an example? How about Broughton taking out some opponents with a red high heel? The film is directed by David Leitch, who came to prominence with the fantastic John Wick. If sharp, kinetic action is your speed, then check this out!
Atomic Blonde hits theaters on July 28, 2017.

FOUR Cs OF REFLECTION Reflection should help students make a connection between their service experience and the academic concepts they have learned in the classroom.
Reflection is a tool to help students develop critical thinking skills and improve on future performance by analyzing their experience Well-written prompts can help challenge students’ currently held beliefs, attitudes, assumptions, biases, privileges, prejudices, and stereotypes.
So what we can do to address the need for reasoning? One point of interest is professional teacher education; both pre-service teacher training and ongoing professional development opportunities should include the latest neuroscience research. Staff in career centers can help applicants understand the importance of good thinking skills.
I do agree with Judy Willis in her article “A Neurologist Makes the Case for Teaching Teachers About the Brain,” on the “There are no more critical life supports than passionate, informed teachers who can resuscitate students’ joyful learning. Fortune 500 executives choose critical thinking, collaboration, and communication as key skills for their employees!
While I’m grading tests, I’m thinking about how we develop critical thinking skills. ” Or, do these skills develop because we study certain subjects or because we understand certain concepts?
Statistics is a course full of “word problems”…thing that many students try to avoid. Quantitative literacy is not just statistics, by the way.Through guided prompts, students can focus on objectives before, during, and after their service experiences, creating more intentional, guided learning.A key aspect of reflective writing is that it it not a description paper.Well constructed prompts help them articulate how their discipline or what they learned in a course can be used to positively impact a community.Critical thinking is a widely accepted educational goal.But I do think that critical thinking is entwined with quantitative literacy/statistical reasoning/ problem solving in the classroom.I’ve read countless articles about the need for critical thinking and quantitative literacy and the failure of current education models to deliver QL skills to our students.Not only does she strive to help her students succeed, but Diane enjoys the collaboration with her peers.She has taught a variety of courses and loves learning how new technology and resources can help students be more successful.When educators learn about how the brain appears to process, recognize, remember and transfer information at the level of neural circuits, synapses and neurotransmitters, and when they share that knowledge with students, they share empowerment with their students. Did the authors explain the background/context of the problem? We all encounter people who can’t seem to think critically about situations…not just mathematically, either.Informed teachers help students understand their ability to change their brains and experience success and renewed confidence. After reading multiple articles about critical thinking, I see one common thread is the need for good questioning. They struggle with processing information from different resources, turning a problem around and over and conceptualizing differently, collaborating with others, and/or communicating their thought process effectively.

When high school athletes don’t get recruited as they had expected, they often don’t know what to do next. Alexus, a Palisades Charter High School student, was a state-ranked swimmer, but wasn’t high ranked enough to be recruited. Alexus’s parents expected the best for her, and Alexus created a college list that was unrealistic, full of many reach and dream schools but no safe schools.
Alexus and her parents reached out to me to help them develop a college list that included schools which could help her develop her academic and social skills, rather than just her athletic talent.
Together we revised her college list and added colleges that were a good fit for her academic skills and personal interests. Next we worked on college essays that showed who Alexus was beyond swimming. After reviewing all the options, we found UMass had the best to offer Alexus. After she made her final decision, she thanked me for my support with this note:
“You answered all my questions, read my essays; your support was greatly appreciated. I wanted to let you know that I’ll be attending University of Massachusetts Amherst and couldn’t have made this decision without your help.” — Alexus
Sometimes, high school athletes don’t get recruited, and that leaves them with work they didn’t expect: they need to apply to college like everyone else. And one of the important parts of applying to college is creating a college list.
Are you or your child having a tough time applying to college? Contact us and let’s see how we can help.

As a business analyst, daily contact with other people in the company is inevitable, but if you suffer shyness it can be a real ordeal. Psychologist and professional coach Francesca Lungescu gives us her advice to meet the challenge.
Dedramatize the situation
For a shy person, making contact in person or by telephone is always a source of anguish. Francesca Lungescu suggests dedramatizing the situation. “We are trying to replace negative thoughts like “what will he think of me?” or “he will judge me” with positive thoughts that correspond more with reality – “we’re on the same team, it’s normal for me to contact him”, “I need his help, but he surely also needs my help”, etc.”
Ask questions
Another way to reduce the stress of a conversation is to be aware that this conversation is not based just on one, but on two participants. That’s why Francesca Lungescu invites shy people to ask questions to fuel the conversation. “We ask where the project is performed, what’s going well, etc. This advice is also good for oral presentations. In this case, the goal is not to talk for an hour without stopping. It’s good to involve the people in the room, ask them questions, invite them to participate. In this way, the attention will not all be on us.”
Preparing your participation
Another tool for shy people: preparation. “One way to prepare for a meeting,” explains the professional coach, is to structure your message on paper, putting it in the form of a list. It’s also a good idea to repeat it out loud alone or to practise with someone.”
Here you can ask for the help of a mentor, a professional coach or a trusted colleague, in order to get feedback. This lets you tame the “judgement” of others in a safe context.

Moorhead’s Kennadi Berg performs during a period break of the boys hockey game on Nov. 26 at the Moorhead Sports Center. Berg is a student at Horizon West and a member of the Moorhead skating program, which is a part of the Red River Valley Figure Skating Club.
Ice skaters practice at the Moorhead Sports Center weekday mornings from 5-7 a.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays during the winter months. In the spring and fall they skate in the evenings, and in the summer they practice skating during the day.
Skaters practice for competitions throughout the year. They perform for judges, demonstrating their skills, and they skate to pass U.S. figure skating tests in hopes of achieving the gold level in different disciplines. Most of these skaters will perform in the Moorhead Ice Show, which is usually scheduled for March.

A child has already been killed by the new Tread+ treadmill.
Peloton CEO and co-founder John Foley announced the incident on March 18 in a statement to social media, though he refused to go into details about exactly what had happened. Instead, he generally assured people that he was aware of the situation — and stressed that adults keep their kids safe by following the Peloton safety guides.
Related: Celebs Speak Out After Eight Killed — Including Six Asian Women — In Atlanta-Area Spa Shootings
He said:
“I’m reaching out to you today because I recently learned about a tragic accident involving a child and the Tread+, resulting in, unthinkably, a death. While we are aware of only a small handful of incidents involving the Tread+ where children have been hurt, each one is devastating to all of us at Peloton, and our hearts go out to the families involved.”
Well, we’re glad he made the statement. But let’s break this down a little bit more.
The Tread+, which is definitely an investment at $4,295, has been known to have some safety issues as reported in the Peloton Tread Facebook group. Many users, for instance, have complained of a malfunctioning belt vibration issue — which definitely sounds scary even if we don’t know quite what it means.
But is this new treadmill to be so unsafe for people with children? The shocking thing is, this is a separate incident from the one reported back in February in which a 3-year-old sustained a “significant brain injury.” More on that later…
Foley insists that safety is the company’s top priority — though we’re sure that’s going to come across as a little hollow for the families with injured children. He continues:
“We design and build all of our products with safety in mind. But in order to help ensure that you and your family members stay safe with Peloton products in your home, we need your help. This is especially true during what I hope is the final stretch of the pandemic where everyone is still at home. To prevent accidents, please take care to review and follow all the safety warnings and instructions that we provide.”
So it was user error? The kids’ and parents’ fault. Uh huh.
The final part of his message simply reinforced:
“Out of respect for these families and their privacy, we don’t plan to provide any additional information about these accidents.”
Right, out of respect for the families, you don’t reveal their names. But a little more information to help prevent future deaths might actually be helpful here.
[Content Warning: Description of child injury.]
We still don’t know the nature of the accident in which a child was killed, but a report filed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission described the injuries suffered by a 3-year-old who got trapped under the machine. After being discovered by his father, the boy “was found to have tread marks on his back matching the slats of the treadmill, neck injury, and petechiae on his face, presumably from occlusion of blood flow.”
Thankfully there was an update on that report saying that the child was “expected to fully recover” — frankly that’s the only way we knew this was a separate incident from the one the CEO is talking about now.
But what do y’all think? Should we put the blame on Peloton for their product? Should it come with a warning that it’s unsafe for children to be around? Drop us your comments (below)!

I travel through my life and feel like an explorer in my work.
The energy of nature is what fascinates me. Organic Power. I am aware that nature is in a continuous state of change. By visualizing this motion I learn to understand the primal force.
With the materials I work with, pure pigments, water and pastels, I explore how to create a monumental form to get natural forces on paper. Like wind, fire, growth and storm. The flow of lines and the use of pigments, applied layer by layer lead you to this growth.
When I try to get natural abstraction on paper, like a tree in the wind or rain, I am not working on form, but on structure and rhythm caused by wind and falling rain. It’s an experience in time and space that I transfer on paper, the energy of the moment.
I visualize the light of various seasons or the hour of the day, the temperature of the earth, the way water is absorbed by roots of trees or just the light reflected by a tree in moonlight. Every drawing is a revelation.
I have the desire to stay in contact with nature, the origin of life. My work leads me to the source of our existence.

Therapy and Learning Centre service prides itself on working not only with the child but also works closely with the parents to teach the child how to use specific activities and games to change the way the muscles combine to work together and make tasks easier. Then team also work on improving the integration between the two sides of the brain to improve processing of information. Visual motor integration is evaluated to see if the perceptual skills and motor skills needed to develop reading and writing skills are age appropriate and to compare the motor control to the age appropriate levels.
A combined program is designed for each child by the two therapists in collaboration with the parents to be incorporated into their daily routine. While practice of specific skills will help, the programs are designed with fun in mind and include specific games and activities especially designed to promote further development of the skills. By incorporating some practice into the daily routine, progress is seen quickly and the program works on encouraging each child to reach his or her optimal potential.

Men are less likely than women to seek mental health help for depression, substance addiction, and stressful life events, including anxiety and trauma. There are many reasons for it, including an unwillingness to talk, social norms, existing stigma, and downplaying symptoms.
But “I’m fine” can only get someone so far—especially since men are significantly more at risk of attempting suicide than women. Just because it’s difficult to open up about mental health doesn’t mean that anyone should struggle in silence.
Join McLean Hospital as Christopher M. Palmer, MD, discusses why men’s mental health is becoming a bigger crisis, ways to talk to your loved ones about mental health, and answers audience questions about the value of destigmatizing men’s mental health.

For example, about a billion people have no clean water.
The first step of the program is to provide clean water.
About 1.1 billion more people have clean water now than in 1990.
Instead I used what was left of the clean water.
"Clean water comes from the ground on the other side of that high place."
This is used to help provide education, food, clean water, medical care and training needs.
Let's say he wants to help provide clean water to those who need it.
The organization's goal is to bring clean water to 100 million people by 2020.
So we're putting clean water into the building up to a bit past I00 feet.
Where on Earth is extra clean water going to come from?

So I have a link on a page that if clicked should enable another form or section further down the page, and if unchecked, hides it.
The ideal is that if it shows it, the auto-layout adjust the page and vice versa.
In CSS it would mimic a div that is set to display: none; and the click turns it to display: block;
Is there something in the works for this or a workaround through a plugin?

Ground nuts of a tropical tree, Terminalia chebula.
Use on protein or cellulose fibres. Considered both a mordant and a dye, because of the high tannin content. Yields a light butter-yellow to beige or mushroom. Substantive, no mordant needed. Use at 15-20% WOF as a mordant on cellulose fibres. As a dye, use at 20-30% WOF for medium shades.
TO USE:soak 24 hrs in water to dissolve. Add more water if necessary and enter fibre. Bring to a high simmer for 1 hour. Let fibre cool overnight.
Light and washfastness: good.

Through the River is a challenging and fascinating book that takes the reader on a poignant journey through River Town, providing an eye-opening view on how people can live in close proximity while having radically contrasting perspectives. River Town's three communities live and act so differently because each group is using a distinct set of assumptions about truth (truth lens). This journey exposes the eternal consequences of how our truth lens influences whether we tell others what we know, insist that others accept what we know or be resigned to keep what we know to ourselves. Today the confusion about truth is great but the stakes are even greater. Our understanding of the different ways people view truth is crucial to building and maintaining constructive relationships. Through the River explores the tools God has given us to engage people who have different assumptions thereby enabling us to communicate Christ to a lost and damaged world.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Salvador Calzadillas isn’t worried about catching the coronavirus when he’s picking mandarin oranges in the trees in central California. But he said the mere act of getting to the groves each day puts him and his wife, also a farmworker, at risk, and there’s nothing they can do to change that.
Farmworkers, after all, can’t work from home. Calzadillas and his wife are among half a dozen workers who crowd into a car or van to get to the groves a 40-minute drive away. There, they are huddled in a group to get daily instructions — without regard for social distancing, he said. “There’s been no changes so far, everything is the same,” Calzadillas said. “Many of my co-workers say it’s like we’re immortal, we’re working just the same. There’s no prevention, and we keep working.”
More than a third of the country’s vegetables and two-thirds of its fruits and nuts are grown in California. Agriculture groups and union leaders are urging employers to take extra precautions to prevent the outbreak from spreading among California’s farmworkers, who are already in short supply.

Field Guide to Farmers and Ranchers
You live in a rural area, surrounded by farmers or ranchers who earn their living from the land. You see them drive into town in their pickup trucks, or having lunch at the local coffee shop. But how can you tell ’em apart?
Let’s start with definitions. Not everyone who raises crops is a farmer, and not everyone who raises livestock is a rancher. If you raise row crops, vegetables, dairy cows, pigs, chickens, catfish or Christmas trees, you’re a farmer. But if you produce tree fruit, you’re an orchardist, and if you grow ornamental plants, you’re a nurseryman. If you raise wine grapes, you’re a grape grower or a viticulturist, but if you also produce wine, you might call yourself a winemaker, a vintner or an oenologist.
You’re a rancher if you mostly raise cattle, bison, elk or sheep. You may be a rancher if you raise horses, but if your horses sell for more than the cost of a new pickup truck, you’re a horse breeder. I don’t know what you’re called if you raise goats. A rancher might also raise alfalfa or wheat, but he won’t take it kindly if you call him a farmer. Conversely, many farmers also raise cattle, but still call themselves farmers. If you charge city folks an outrageous fee to spend a week riding horses, looking at cows and eating steaks around a campfire, you’re a dude rancher, Dude.
OK, let’s say you’re dining at the local café, and see a fella at the next table dressed in cowboy boots, a Western shirt and a Stetson. A rancher, right? Not necessarily. He might also be a trucker or the local banker trying to make a good impression with his rural customers. A farmer, on the other hand, often dresses like … well, like a mud hen, in plain coveralls, work shoes and a John Deere cap. Unless, of course, he’s a trucker. Same wardrobe, different hours.
Farmers and ranchers use the same words to describe different things. When a rancher talks about hybrid vigor, she’s talking about her crossbred cows. When a farmer mentions hybrid vigor, he’s referring to corn varieties. Ask a farmer about genetics, and she’ll tell you about the herbicide-tolerant soybeans or insect-resistant cotton in her field. Genetics means just one thing to a rancher: bull semen.
Ranchers gripe about vet bills and sand in their stock wells, trespassers leaving gates open and poor market prices. They complain about the high price they have to pay for winter feed, but they will spend any amount of money for a good horse. Farmers gripe about the high price of chemicals, seed and fertilizer, and poor market prices, but they will spend any amount of money for a new tractor.
Farmers and ranchers carry different stuff in their pickup trucks. The back of a farmer’s pickup contains empty Roundup jugs (unless he’s an organic farmer and then it’s a flame weeder), while a rancher’s pickup contains empty dewormer and vaccine bottles. A farmer’s pickup bed might contain a shovel, a broken part from his combine, two crescent wrenches and a box of assorted nuts and bolts. Look in the back of a rancher’s truck, and you’re likely to find a saddle, a rope, fencing pliers, a roll of barbed wire and a box of staple nails. In the spring, the farmer’s pickup truck is loaded with bags of seed, while the rancher’s contains bags of range cubes and a salt block. Both trucks, of course, contain a dog.
Inside the farmer’s pickup cab, you’ll find a dog-eared notebook listing the corn hybrids or soybean varieties planted that year, the dates they were planted, and a note marking the opening day for duck or deer season. There’s an equally dog-eared notebook inside a rancher’s pickup that lists the days the cows were inseminated, the date that each calf was born, the date the cows were last vaccinated, and a reminder of the opening day for elk or antelope season.
A farmer spends most of the money she earns on more equipment, seed, weed killers and a lawn tractor for her husband, who works in town. A rancher spends his money on vet bills, fencing materials, winter feed for his cattle, and a new wire stretcher for his wife. A farmer considers a variety trial field tour or a visit to the nearest Cabela’s or Bass Pro shop a vacation. Ranchers will spend their vacation attending the annual cattleman’s meeting or a rodeo. It should be noted that many ranch and farm spouses do not agree with these definitions.
A farm should be large enough to require the use of at least one tractor, although some farms in the Midwest and South are big enough to merit their own zip code. Western ranchers usually measure their spreads in terms of sections, or at the very least quarters. This is because it may take several acres to sustain a single cow in areas where it rains only during presidential election years.
Ranch country generally lies west of a line that runs from Texas and Oklahoma through Kansas, the Nebraska Sandhills and into the Dakotas. You’ll know you’re in ranch country when you see cattle guards across public roads and a mailbox at least a mile or more away from the nearest residence. If you’re driving through a desolate area where the only other vehicles in 50 miles are a propane delivery truck and a county road grader, you may be in ranch country. Should you happen to meet a rancher driving the other direction, odds are he or she will raise a forefinger from the steering wheel in a friendly wave. It is considered good form to return the wave, as long as you use the proper finger.
You can spot the entranceway to a ranch by the gate made of old wagon wheels, deer antlers, or the ranch name or brand fashioned from wrought iron. There may be a sign wired to the fence along the highway that reads “Eat More Beef,” or which identifies the owner as a proud cattle breed association member.
A farmer, on the other hand, often decorates the front yard with an old manure spreader, an old steel-wheeled tractor or an antique Gleaner combine. The signs posted on a farmer’s place identify the local cooperative or favored hybrid corn brand, and advise road hunters to keep out.
Farmers and ranchers will pitch in to help their neighbors in times of crisis, will stop to pull you out of the mud or help change your tire, and consider themselves to be conservationists and stewards of the land. Just over two million of ’em are left in the country today, and America is a better place because of them.
Neither a farmer nor a rancher, Jerry Schleicher is a country writer and cowboy poet who lives in Parkville, Missouri.

I’m not sure I can pull this off. It’s like watching a tennis match where you go back and forth between players. The difficult part is segueing from one plot to the other without jarring the reader. In a way it’s similar to time shifts or flashbacks in a novel. That can be tricky if it’s not done well because it can be confusing. I wrote one book that goes back and forth in time, Threads, but I made sure that the shifts were clear by headlining the year and city the story takes place.
Both plots in this new, as yet untitled novel, revolve around a murder, of course. In one, I employ a favorite trope of mine: the corruption of the super wealthy. I remember my mother, a blue-collar worker without a worldly bone in her body, saying whenever we drove through a wealthy area with lavish homes that the people who owned them had to be crooks. I used to laugh, but not so much anymore. They’ve become my villains, whether the corruption is the cause of their wealth or it’s their motivation to keep it.
The second plot involves twins and a ghost or two. New Orleans, along with Savannah, has quite a few haunted houses.
So we have two, actually three, upstanding citizens who are nasty pieces of work and a twin haunted by her sister who disappeared but no one can prove is dead.
Make those two work, Polly, without giving the reader a neck ache. I double-dare you.
Polly Iyer is the author of eight novels: standalones Hooked, InSight, Murder Déjà Vu, Threads, and Indiscretion, and three books in the Diana Racine Psychic Suspense series, Mind Games, Goddess of the Moon, and Backlash.

Argonne Researchers Study How Reflectivity of Biofuel Crops Impacts Climate
by Joan Koka (Argonne National Laboratory) … The new analysis, published in The Royal Chemistry Society’s Energy & Environmental Science, incorporates the additional effect of changes in reflectivity, or “albedo.” Albedo effects sum up the amount of incoming solar energy that gets reflected back into space; these changes, along with numerous other factors, in turn contribute to changes in greenhouse gas emissions.
While there is much data variability, the findings reveal that when a piece of land is changed to produce a biofuel crop, albedo effects also changed. When only albedo change effects are considered, researchers found that land converted to producing corn ethanol had a net cooling effect on climate. By comparison, land that was converted to producing miscanthus and switchgrass, two other plant sources for next-generation biofuels, had a net warming effect. But when carbon stock changes, another key effect of land use change, are also taken into account, corn and switchgrass ethanol exhibit net warming effects associated with land use change whereas miscanthus grass ethanol exhibits a net cooling effect.
…
Cai (Hao Cai, an Argonne environmental analyst and lead author of the study) and his team began their research by first collecting data on land cover and albedo gathered from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and NASA satellites, respectively. They mapped the albedo data associated with specific land types—say, corn cropland or prairie. Then they ran simulations where they converted different land types to produce corn, miscanthus and switchgrass, and looked to see what would happen to albedo and to the net cooling or warming of the atmosphere as a result.
Unlike past studies of albedo effects of land use change, which analyzed no more than 20 sites of specific land types, the team investigated millions of sites in more than a thousand counties in the U.S., covering 70 percent of the nation’s corn production fields.
…
Albedo effects varied among corn, miscanthus and switchgrass crops in part due to differences in their size and shape, as well as growth and environmental factors—all of which can vary dramatically from one site to the next.

Adapted from the 1999 book by Walter Dean Myers, the film marks the feature debut of music video director Anthony Mandler, from a script by a trio of writers, among them Radha Blank, who made her directing debut last year with another Netflix acquisition, "The Forty-Year-Old Version." This movie was screened back at the 2018 Sundance film festival, the drama Monster is about a black teen swallowed up by a cruel legal system, remains just as timely in 2021, a story of a grim predicament that would probably feel similarly relevant in another three or even six years down the line. Strange that it’s gathered dust for so long, less a sign of its quality and packed cast and more perhaps of the time of its premiere, nestled alongside two other dramas covering crudely similar ground (Blindspotting and Monsters and Men), finding itself swallowed up by an industry still only willing to give black stories a small piece of the pie.
Much of the film’s shine can be attributed to a reliably mighty central performance from Kelvin Harrison Jr, whose work to date has continually shown him to be one of the most impressive and commanding young actors working today, equally devastating in dystopian horror It Comes At Night, seat-edge high school thriller Luce and style-over-substance melodrama Waves. Firing on all cylinders once again, Harrison plays Steve, a hard-working student at an elite school, who finds himself charged as an accessory to murder, a bodega robbery gone wrong that leaves its owner shot to death. Steve is accused of being the lookout but he maintains his innocence, even if those within the system are quick to label him guilty.
Harrison’s heartbreaking journey from an honors student to a suspected accomplice is told in jagged bits and pieces, jumping back and forth to the time before and after the fateful incident. The structure is effective at times but it also robs some scenes of drama, keeping us in the dark in moments when being more informed would have helped. While the script is often remarkably subtle, it’s also remarkably clumsy and the performances too range from the great to the lesser.
‘Monster’ compellingly teases us with the question of Steve’s involvement throughout its tight 98 minutes, urging us to wrestle with a cloudy amalgamation of truth, facts, and points of view — just like Rashomon, which famously examined ideas about angles of perspective by offering four stories from four people involved with a crime. Honestly, the Rashomon reference is thuddingly obvious, a meta-commentary somewhat awkwardly junking up a narrative that’s already cluttered with the meta-stuff of its protagonist’s student film projects.
‘Monster’ transparently follows its advice, given voice by Mr. Sowicki. But beyond the unnecessary self-commentary on the art of filmmaking, the movie still offers some worthwhile drama. It addresses the corrupt dynamics of a racist legal system, and pieces together Steve’s life-changing experiences with a tense urgency. It’s nothing we haven’t seen before, but it’s passionate thanks to Harrison, who gives his character some depth beyond the usual lost-innocence character arc, and lends credibility to some overwrought voiceover narration; his work is bolstered with strong work by Hudson, Wright, and Ehle. It’s a nicely paced film, occasionally poetic in its visual flourishes and eminently watchable. And bottom line, we care about what happens to Steve, which speaks to its assertion that truth is more than what we just see or hear.

The New Tecumseth Public Library (NTPL) is starting important conversations about race and spreading education about how to counter racism.
The launching point for this starts October 22 at 7 p.m. with the NTPL’s first anti-racism book club, where attendees will discuss “So You Want to Talk About Race” by Ijeoma Oluo.
Kim Burgess, who leads adult programming at NTPL, said it’s important for the public to note that they don’t have to read the book to participate and anyone can attend.
“What I’m hoping is anybody interested attends the Zoom meeting and you can always take the book out later. We always have circulating copies,” she told The Times.
“These are difficult conversations and I know that people are interested that may be a little tentative; you don’t have to be, this is a safe forum, this is a place to start, to get some information and to learn and to grow together, especially in our own community. These are very current issues that I know everybody wants to talk about, so just register and don’t be afraid.”
To sign up and attend visit www.eventkeeper.com/code/ekform.cfm?curOrg=NTPL&curID=461515.
The event was made possible by a local book club member who wanted to get the community talking about racism.
She donated money to purchase 10 copies of “So You Want to Talk About Race” as a book club set, which can now be rented out internally, or to external book clubs looking to access the book.
The Anti Racism Book Club isn’t solely focused on discussing books, but some of the titles they’re looking to read over the next several months include “The Skin We’re In” by Desmond Cole, “How to be an Antiracist” by Ibram X. Kendi and “White Fragility” by Robin DiAngelo.
Various programs are also going to offered discussing anti-racism and the NTPL has partnered with a diversity group out of Simcoe County called Making Change.
“One of the things they do are public information sessions and they’re going to come and do ones for us,” said Burgess.
On December 1 from 7 to 8 p.m. a presentation called “If Nothing Changes, Nothing Changes” will be hosted by Making Change, offering insight into local efforts towards implementing equity. diversity and inclusion.
“So, we have a whole bunch of adult programs we are going to try and offer in the coming months, just getting people talking about anti-racism and Black Lives Matter, how we can become allies and work we can do around anti-black racism,” Burgess said.

SEC failed at this due to the fact that their product will not operate above 130 degrees F, and that the requirements would not be able to be met without different materials (The Orion Shield Project, 2003). Due to this issue alone, it caused problems with the project, delaying the timeline for completion, increased the amount of resources used and not committing to the stakeholders. Not only did they fail to meet the temperature standard, they also failed to meet the life span expectation. Mr. Allison is responsible for overcoming these technical objectives as project manager of The Orion Shield Project. Ethical Issue: Before even beginning the project, Mr. Allison couldn’t keep his commitment in regards to meeting the temperature requirement.
The questions 1-5 are all closed questions in Ms. Kelley’s questionnaire. They are not worded in the most effective way to be able to obtain the appropriate information she needs related to the behavioral incidents that Global Ed Charter School has been experiencing. The first question asks the teachers and staff to estimate the number of behavior incidents that they have observed, but only for the last two weeks. Since the school year began not too long ago, why not expand the time frame to list all the behavior incidents since the beginning of this school year? The second closed question, question number 2, the wording of the question does not clearly state what she is asking and was confusing for me to try to understand.

Remember, all references listed in the reference page must also be cited in the text. And speaking of the reference page, it had some formatting errors and should have been placed on a separate page. Also, the instructions in the syllabus stated that a minimum of three references should be used in the paper to support the information, but only one reference was used in the paper. For the most part, the rules of punctuation, spelling and grammar were followed and some errors were noted in the paper. The title of the paper was missing on the first page of the text, which was also noted in your week two paper.
What lessons can be learned from Va Tech? (Discuss at least 2) The first and most important lesson would be that we couldn’t judge a person to their full extent. We will never know what they are capable of. Cho, according to “friends” and professors, was just an antisocial person that avoided mostly everyone.

These include confirmation inquiry, structured inquiry, guided inquiry, and open inquiry. They suggest that a student should not start with open inquiry because this is the least controlled of all. Rather, they suggest, students should start at confirmation inquiry. In confirmation inquiry, students are provided with the question, procedure, and the results (Banchi & Bell, 2008). Students are merely learning how to collect data and record.
One male student from the class participated but was not included in the data because of technical difficulties. Data collection techniques Participants were told by their instructor that they would be taking two separate personality tests to compare the results of the two with each other. The first test taken was the MBTI, which was to be self-administered via a website and self-reported on a worksheet. Students were given a link to the test and told to bring their scores with them to the next class meeting. The students and instructor used the SPSS computer program to obtain significant data from the results.
Informal Assessments Standardized testing is the preferred way of assessing a student’s performance standardized testing is not appropriate for every student. In New York State alternate assessments are used for every student who is unable to take a standardized test. Whenever a standardized test is modified the test is no longer standardized it becomes an informal assessment. If a student is severely mentally challenged and a standardized test has to be modified by giving the student more time, or substituting the pictures for real objects or photos then the test is informal. Some Special Education Teachers make their own informal assessments and these are referred to as teacher made informal assessments.

Momentum keeps building for ending the school-to-prison pipeline, but we already know what kids need.
Dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline doesn’t require more information or analysis. It requires a will to change strong enough to produce sustained, effective action.
Someone said that the other night at a meeting about the pipeline. And a lot of people said what a lot of people have been saying for a very long time, the gist being don’t criminalize kids, educate them. Well, maybe it takes repetition to sink in deep enough to matter.
Here’s a definition of the pipeline: “ … the policies and practices that push our nation’s schoolchildren, especially our most at-risk children, out of classrooms and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems.” That’s from the American Civil Liberties Union, one of numerous organizations working nationally to fix what’s wrong.
Schools went along with the tough-on-crime, no-tolerance attitude that swept politics and the criminal-justice system in the 1980s. The result has been a huge increase in the number of children suspended or expelled, often for classroom behavior that could be dealt with productively if it were treated as a teaching opportunity.

The meeting last Wednesday evening was co-sponsored by King County Councilmember Larry Gossett and Seattle City Councilmember Mike O’Brien and attended by several of their colleagues who wanted to hear from community members about the problem.
Kids who are expelled or suspended fall behind, often drop out and very often wind up in jail. Some schools jump straight to calling police rather than handling some discipline cases themselves.
And all of this toughness is most often directed at children of color. Data from across the country, including Seattle, show black and brown children are punished at much higher rates than white children for the same behavior.
Two kids do the same thing, and the black or Latino or Native American kid is treated more harshly than the white child, who may not be punished at all.
What so many schools are doing is biased — it fails to educate, and it creates problems by making children more likely to do crime and time. It’s bad on every level.
Of course, it’s hard to change big, bureaucratic institutions and people who’ve gotten comfortable with a system that makes life easier. It’s easier to kick a student out of class than to figure out what’s going on and try to do a little educating.
At the meeting I mentioned, Paul Kurose remembered that his mother, the celebrated Seattle teacher and social justice activist Aki Kurose, would see children sitting in the hallway after being booted out of class by other teachers, and she’d bring them into her classroom. To her a mistake presented an opportunity to learn.
There are many teachers who are heroically good at getting the most from their students, but not everyone is. Most people, not just most teachers, take the path of least resistance.
At the meeting, several panelists and community speakers had a connection to either Middle College High School at High Point or another of its campuses. MCHS takes students who haven’t fit well in a traditional high school and has helped most of its at-risk students graduate and go on to college. Teachers put an emphasis on their relationships with students.
Speakers said Seattle School District is trying to make MCHS more like the rest of its schools when it should be the other way around, even closing one campus.
The speakers championed MCHS as a refuge for students that the larger system won’t adapt to. All the current attention on school discipline means districts are going to have to change, and some are already doing that.
But the stakes are so high, and the problem so obvious, that many other institutions are not waiting for education reform but are changing themselves to reduce or eliminate the role they play in the school-to-prison pipeline.
Last week, King County announced a committee to recommend solutions to the growing racial disparity in the juvenile-justice system. It includes judges, law-enforcement officials, educators, community members, mental-health leaders, social-service providers and even young people.
Already, the justice system in King County has been working to divert young people away from jail and connect them to help they may need.
King County government, the Superior Courts and Prosecutor Dan Satterberg have taken leading roles in changing what happens to children in the system, because they see the negative results when incarceration replaces education.
We know what young people need from their parents, but what do they need from their communities, from the institutions for which we are all responsible? Maybe it’s a little love, caring and opportunities for growth.

Creating relationships at work is important. It helps develop your career, build trust, and work more effectively. And, it’s a heck of a lot more fun! Building relationships in the workplace is often easier said than done. There are a number of ways to build strong, worthwhile relationships with the people you work with, and here are six!

Getting the job is just the beginning of your journey. You’ve now got to set yourself up for success, and your first few months in this new role will often be the litmus test. How do you ensure a successful start from day one? Find out!
Our company reviews over half a million resumes each year, so it’s safe to say we’ve seen our fair share of good resumes, bad resumes, and resumes that fall squarely in between. While the bad resumes tend to be that way for various reasons, the good ones almost always have a few things in common. […]
Six seconds. That’s not a lot of time to catch a reader’s attention, but that’s all you’ve got when it comes to a recruiter reviewing a resume. I thought it was time to share what really can make a resume stand out. Here are the eight secrets to writing an attention-grabbing, job-landing resume!
When problems arise, we let panic set in and allow our basic instinct to take over. It’s fight or flight, which often leaves us defensive or defeated — neither of which are the best way to bring something to management. Before barging into your manager’s office or sending off a convoluted email, we suggest you do the following.
Ask almost anyone about happiness in the workplace, and they’ll likely tell you it’s tied to money, management, or that professional nemesis every office seems to have. But they’d be wrong. Happiness has nothing to do with the job itself — nor does it have anything to do with a boss or a colleague. It has everything to do with you. How you go about tapping into your happiness is entirely up to you, but what we’ve found that works best is the following.
Many people who deserve a raise are also the least likely to ask for one. In fact, go to any company and you’ll find at least one workhorse who completely underestimates his or her own worth. While discussing pay can be downright frightening, it shouldn’t keep you from asking for a salary increase. Try these nine negotiation strategies to make the discussion that much easier.
If you’re feeling a bit burnt out and need to recharge, there are plenty of ways to do this from the comfort of your own home, or even the office. Don’t worry about packing a bag; the following can help you reinvigorate your mind and body.
We all know mentorship is important. It’s one of the most effective ways of developing – and retaining – new talent within an organization. If someone has recently asked you to become a mentor, or you’re currently working with a mentee, here are steps that will help ensure you’re both getting the most out of the relationship.

African slavery was pervasive in Spain's Atlantic empire yet remained in the margins of the imperial economy until the end of the eighteenth century when the plantation revolution in the Caribbean colonies put the slave traffic and the plantation at the center of colonial exploitation and conflict.
The international group of scholars brought together in this volume explain Spain's role as a colonial pioneer in the Atlantic world and its latecomer status as a slave-trading, plantation-based empire.
These contributors map the broad contours and transformations of slave-trafficking, the plantation, and antislavery in the Hispanic Atlantic while also delving into specific topics that include: the institutional and economic foundations of colonial slavery; the law and religion; the influences of the Haitian Revolution and British abolitionism; antislavery and proslavery movements in Spain; race and citizenship; and the business of the illegal slave trade.

This style of image mashups is very popular in digital news magazines. Does the style have a specific name?
I'd call it scrapbook, collage or paper and paste style - emulating the traditional school book art.
The technique of pasting images together can be tracked far away since the invention of paper and the term "collage" was used by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso it became a distinctive part of modern art (early 20th century).
Colleges, in one way, it's an expression form, a way to achieve an unique meaning from parts with distinct origins, making the total far more meaningful than the original parts sum.
When you use a computer program to make collages, it is correct to use the "digital collage" term.

Russia’s Incredible Vistas
A good reason to visit Russia are the incredible vistas one will encounter, places that are not only strikingly beautiful but mystical and mysterious at the same time. It is a land of plains and steppes that stretch for countless miles, its mountain ranges from the Caucasus, Urals, Altai, to lesser know Sayan and Stanovoy ranges. It’s northern reaches are covered by boundless tundra and the taiga reaching from its western borders to its eastern borders. It even more surprisingly it has its own delectable deserts.
◊
Russia’s Boundless Beauty
The country’s 17.[[phy_address]] kilometers include one-eighth of the Earth’s inhabited land area. Getting to see just a small part of this vast landscape can be an awesome experience. Western Russia’s population density being much higher compared to the Eastern portion one can visit areas where seeing another human is a rare event. But exploring its western boundaries can be just as amazing. The countless lakes and rivers of Karelia will call the fisherman, Backpackers and explorers will be called to its wide open spaces, hunters will be called the far reaches of this magnificent land. Russia hold great adventure for all who hear it’s call.

Hotel Utopia
"Rooms so disparate that they cannot coexist in one hotel, unless they were rooms from several hotels, from several periods, from several schools ..."
This paragraph from Orly Castel-Bloom’s novel “La Mina Lisa” aptly describes the exhibition “Hotel Utopia.”
The exhibition is held on minus one floor of the Lighthouse Brown Hotel, on the corner of Ben Yehuda-Allenby Street in Tel Aviv. The floor, which immediately after the exhibition will be converted into a spa, a beauty salon, and a fitness center, serves as a space detached from the outside world, corresponding with the term "Heterotopia" coined by Michel Foucault. This group show, which features works in diverse media by dozens of artists, creates a multimedial and multicultural space that holds the simultaneity of the minimalist and the busy, the original and the replicated, the high and the vulgar, the familiar and the foreign. A space that is easier entered then left.

Hughes expected "more measured" F3 race after Hubert tragedy
FIA Formula 3 frontrunner Jake Hughes says he was expecting better driving standards in the series at Spa as its second race followed Anthoine Hubert’s fatal crash in Formula 2.
F3’s second race of the weekend was the first on-track action since Hubert’s passing, with the teams and drivers assembling for a minute’s silence in memory of Hubert just before the race, led by his mother and brother.
HWA driver Hughes said that he had expected a more “measured” race from his peers in the wake of the tragedy.
“That one was particularly bad,” said Hughes, who was clipped into spin in both races at Spa at the same corner, Les Combes.
“After what happened yesterday…I understand people want to push hard and go for eighth as it’s the last point available, [but] people think they can do anything at Spa.
“At tracks like Spa and Monza, stuff can happen anytime and the speeds we’re going, it’s not going to be a small one most of the time.
“It’s not like I feel like I got away with anything, it’s just that it’s too many people taking too many risks on a track that is clearly susceptible to something like that.
“I was watching the race on the pitwall and there were three or four times people were clashing at Les Combes, people picking up punctures.
“I expected a much more measured race after what we saw yesterday and I’m not particularly impressed.
“We all make mistakes, I did one in Paul Ricard, but there’s a time and a place and people have to learn from it.”
Another driver to criticise driving standards was Renault F1 junior Christian Lundgaard, the ART Grand Prix driver screaming on the radio after Yuki Tsunoda of Jenzer had moved across to block him on the Kemmel Straight.
Armstrong "deflated" after winning

Ferrari Formula 1 junior Marcus Armstrong, who won the race in question, said he felt little joy after taking the chequered flag.
Armstrong delivered a textbook drive from pole position for his second win of the season, but he and his fellow F3 podium dwellers did not celebrate in parc ferme as celebrations were muted.
“I know that it’s not right to celebrate after what happened and I didn’t feel the need to celebrate,” Armstrong told Motorsport.com. “I’ve never been this deflated after a race win in my whole life.
“The radio, I said on the radio, ‘This one’s for Anthoine’, and then we kept the celebrations to a minimum. Just out of respect for the family.

For ambitious students, essays present a unique opportunity to stand out and demonstrate their intellect, academic flair, as well as their advanced writing skills. However, that’s easier said than done. How does one stand out from the mediocrity of the crowd while trying to answer the same essay question they all try to answer? What will make your answer more persuasive than others? The following blueprint is right from the playbook of a top-rated essay writing service.
Keep on reading if you want to learn which road is that and how you get there.
Original Thinking
The true hallmark of an exceptional essay is original thinking. At the same time, that doesn’t necessarily mean coming up with a brand new theory. Keep in mind that there aren’t too many topics that haven’t been explored in-depth and thought out of virtually every angle.
But what it does mean is that you can explore an original angle, a standpoint of view that differs from the standard ones. Furthermore, there might be some new evidence or research that offers unique insights into the given topics.
Either way, that’s how you come up with something that will make your essay both unique and intriguing.
Demonstrate in-Depth Knowledge of the Topic
Your essay needs to reflect a strong grasp of the topic and excellent comprehension of the presented concepts. Each of the facts needs to be relevant to the point you are trying to make as they will be the foundation of your essay. Reinforce your theory with quotes and references from various academic sources.
Exceptional English
Words need to flow effortlessly and each sentence needs to be both clear and concise. That way the reader doesn’t need to read the sentence more than once to comprehend its meaning. Everything needs to be in a logical order, without any random jumps from one to another topic. It goes without saying that grammar and spelling need to be perfect.
Focus on the Given Questions, not Your Own!
Very often students tend to focus on questions they’d like to answer, rather than the ones assigned to them. They do so because they feel comfortable answering those questions.
So, you need to be careful and don’t end up doing exactly that!
Instead, punch directly through the given questions, no matter how challenging they are, or how uncomfortable you feel answering them.
You never know if your professor wanted to achieve that – make you answer something that is far from your comfort zone, that doesn’t feel right to you.
Being brutally honest, cutting right through the core of things, is the recipe for a brilliant essay. Anything else is just a distraction that will only water down the topic.
Balance Your Arguments
This is about being impartial to a certain topic and taking into consideration different points of view, rather than working only with one-sided arguments. No one is impressed by one-sided arguments, at least not professors and academics.
On the other hand, taking into account multiple points of view makes you considerate and thoughtful which plays well with all readers.
Your Interpretation and Opinion is Also Important
This is about showing that you have concluded by weighing up the given evidence. That you respect the facts and not what other people had to say about the given issue. That you can think independently and intelligently about the given topic and you are not in any way bias.
Include Visuals
They say that a picture speaks a thousand words, and that’s a fact. Images and diagrams can make your essay way more enjoyable and can help you effectively communicate your points. If you’ve seen at least a few top rated essays, you will know that both images and diagrams are the common nominators for all of them.

I scrubbed up an old excel calcutor that some people might find interesting when dealing with deduplication for storage and data transmission between storage devices including cloud(s).
Other caculators are avaliable that are backup/recovery centic and will give the amount of storage required that can be feed into this one. Given the prevalence of dedupe most people have a reasonable idea how much can be saved but they usually not aware what happens if the dedupe rate changes.

Many have highlighted that the dance video which appeared spontaneous was actually well-rehearsed.
I am not concerned that this is the case. Some of what appears most spontaneous in a drama, stage-production, stand-up comedy, busking, and so on, has actually been extremely well-rehearsed. Presiders at liturgy, others taking leading parts (readers, prayer leaders,…) need to rehearse to the point where what is “fixed” (responses, readings from scripture,…) is as “natural” as what is not. This is central to my using language as a model for liturgy.

Former Guns N’ Roses manager Alan Niven has revealed that back in the early 80s, Eddie Van Halen was considering leaving Van Halen in favour for glam rock act KISS.
During an interview with Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon Niven revealed that when the band were first starting out, they would cut their teeth practising by playing KISS covers.
“Well, that will probably explain why it took five years instead of two and a half – they might have been snapped up earlier if they hadn’t been playing ‘Party All Night’ or whatever that cursed thing is.”
He then went on to detail that during a time of tension at the Van Halen camp in 1983, Eddie phoned up Gene Simmons, asking to join KISS.
“I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but talking about the magical, mystical, magnificent KISS – my God, that was difficult to say – you may not be aware that there was a time when talking about holding bands together, that there was a time apparently when Eddie was so frustrated, and I think this would have been 1983, somewhere around there, that he called Gene Simmons.
“Because they knew each other from the ’70s, and he told Gene that he wanted to join KISS.”
He continued, “Apparently, Gene Simmons had the appropriate and accurate assessment at the time and looked at Eddie and said, ‘You can’t leave your band. It’s called Van Halen, it is your band.’

“And that’s not just a matter of possession and control, that’s a matter of content and style,” he continued.
“Because – Van Halen without Eddie… I don’t know. Alex I think is an incredibly underrated drummer in the shadow of his younger brother, and I think he deserves far more credit than he gets.
