Long flights and weather delays are a part of traveling for everyone. But waiting in massive security lines and racing through the airport to catch a connection? Some travelers get to skip those hassles. Members of United's Global Services program receive slightly different service at different places, but one thing's consistent: These travelers are treated like special guests as they move throughout the airport. Joining their ranks is only feasible if you fly United all the time.
How United's Reward Programs Work
United Airlines rewards its most loyal customers through its MileagePlus system. Frequent travelers who fly with United can become eligible for Premier status, which includes four reward tiers: Silver, Gold, Platinum and 1K. Travelers reach higher levels by racking up points when they buy flights and other United services.
United measures points in a few different ways. MileagePlus members earn Premier qualifying miles (PQM) or Premier qualifying segments (PQS) based on the length of each flight they buy. Within the United States, United also measures Premier qualifying dollars (PQD), which you earn by spending money on qualifying purchases. Each rewards tier has minimum requirements for all three measurements, and you can reach the tier by meeting any one of those minimums. For example, members reach Premier Silver status when they accrue 25,000 PQM, 30 PQS or $3,000 in PQD.
Eligibility within any Premier tier is only good for one calendar year. (An exception is made for travelers who are part of the Million Miler program – anyone who flies at least a million miles on United gets lifetime Premier status.) At the beginning of each new year, the number of PQM, PQS or PQD you earned in the previous calendar year determines your level. But even travelers who reach Premier 1K status are still out of reach of the ultimate United perk: Global Service status.
Reaching United Global Services Status
Global Services is an elite club for members who exceed Premier 1K status, and few travelers get in. In fact, entry is available by invitation only, and United is hush-hush about exactly what it takes to earn an invitation. Travelers who are part of Global Services generally report having PQD of around $50,000 or more and PQM of at least 150,000 per calendar year.
So what can you do to get that Global Services travel experience? Travel a ton and choose United every time. Unfortunately, that's the only way to get an invitation. United offers other ways to earn miles that can be redeemed for free trips, such as opening a United credit card or paying for purchases through its MileagePlus X app. However, those purchases aren't eligible for PQD, so they won't help you move up to Global Services.
What to Expect From Global Services
Global Services members report receiving a high level of personalized service from United employees. Some airports have dedicated check-in areas for travelers with GS status. Members may be escorted to the front of the TSA security line, escorted between gates during connections and upgraded for free. Some members even say that when they've had tight connections to make, they've been driven between gates in a luxury car.
On the plane, members say that pilots and flight crew greet them by name and provide a lot of individual attention throughout the trip. Global Services members are also invited to board the plane in the first group, along with people who are disabled or traveling with young children. Like other Premier members, travelers enrolled in Global Services are also allowed to check several bags at no cost.

If I were to look in the download folder on my computer, I would see that I have numerous unfinished self-paced, 'discover/accept/become' yourself online classes from a variety of very wise women downloaded there. I always start with the best intentions. I experience a surge of excitement as I enter my credit card number, declare my intentions far and wide. I leap in whole heartedly with both feet, I introduce myself in the closed Facebook group, and then, Here's what always happens next. I get behind, then more behind, and then I exit the FB group or turn off the notifications because it hurts my heart that I have failed myself again.
For years, I have longed to belong, to fit in, to connect on a deeper level with other women. And as much as I longed for it, I was also afraid of it. And then I went to my first women's retreat and I sat in that sacred circle and something magical happened. I was seen. I was understood. I was honored. Grace was extended in every direction. When I looked around the circle I found women who did not need me to explain my feelings, or to apologize for them. And this experience has happened again and again in many circles, many retreat experiences.
So, I've asked myself what the difference is, why an online class or group doesn't 'work' for me and a circle of women does? By all accounts, as an introvert, sitting at home in my jammies doing 'the work' should be just exactly my cup of tea. It surprised me at first, as it does many women, but there's an unexpected safety in the circle. In fact, we faciltiators work very hard to create that feeling of safety and it's one of the things that is most remarked on in retreat evaluations.
Once I experienced it, I was smitten. Connection, belonging... they are very powerful feelings and I now look for every opportunity can make happen for myself to sit in circle and experience it again. I stared facilitating women's rereats so that I could help make that happen for other women.
My wish for you in this brand new year... I hope that you find connection and belonging in whatever way works for you. It's important and you deserve it. If you have thought that a women's retreat is not your cup of tea, I want to encourage you to do some research and find one you might let yourself lean into. Here's to leaning in. Join the circle. Have some fun. Feel the love. #circlefunlove

23. Principio precationum tuarum exivit verbum, et ego veni ut annuntiarem, quia tu desideriorum vir, itaque intellige in sermone, et intellige in visione.
Here the angel not only exacts docility from the Prophet, but also exhorts him to greater attention. We shall afterwards perceive that this singular and extraordinary prophecy needed no common study. This is the reason why the angel not only commands Daniel to receive his message with the obedience of faith, but also to pay greater attention than usual, because this was an important and singular mystery. He states first of all -- the word went forth from the time when the Prophet began to pray I will not delay by reciting the opinions of others, because I think I understand the genuine sense of the passage; namely, God heard the prayers of his servant, and then promulgated what he had already decreed. For by the word |went forth| he expresses the publication of a decree which had formerly been made; it was then issued just as the decrees of princes are said to go forth when they are publicly spread abroad. God had determined what he would do, directly Daniel had ceased, for God's counsel would never fail of its accomplishment; but he here points out the impossibility of the prayers of his saints being in vain, because he grants them the very thing which he would have bestowed had they not prayed for them, as if he were obedient to their desires, and approved of their conduct. It is clear enough, that we can obtain nothing by our prayer, without God's previous determination to grant it; yet these points are not contrary to each other; for God attends to our prayers, as it is said in the Psalms, -- -He performs our wishes, and yet executes what he had determined before the creation of the world. (Psalm 145:19.) He had predicted by Jeremiah, (Jeremiah 25:11,) as we have remarked before, the close of the people's exile in seventy years; Daniel already knew this, as he related at the beginning of the chapter, yet he did not relax in his prayers, for he knew that God's promises afford us no ground or occasion for sloth or listlessness. The Prophet, therefore, prayed, and God shews how his desires were by no means vain as they concerned the welfare of the whole Church. He next states -- the word went forth as soon as Daniel began to pray; that is, as soon as he opened his lips he was divinely answered. He afterwards adds, he came to make this known, because, says he, thou art a desirable man Some take the word |desirable| actively, as if Daniel glowed with intense zeal; but this is forced and contrary to the usage of the language. Without doubt, the Prophet uses the word in the sense of acceptance with God, and the majority of interpreters fully agree with me. The angel therefore announces his arrival on behalf of Daniel, because he was in the enjoyment of God's favor. And this is worthy of notice, for we gather from the passage the impossibility of our vows and prayers acquiring favor for us before God, unless we are already embraced by his regards; for in no other way do we find God propitious, than when we flee by faith to his loving-kindness. Then, in reliance upon Christ as our Mediator and Advocate, we dare to approach him as sons to a parent. For these reasons our prayers are of no avail before God, unless they are in some degree founded in faith, which alone reconciles us to God, since we can never be pleasing to him without pardon and remission of sins. We observe also, the sense in which the saints are said to please God by their sometimes failing to obtain their requests. For Daniel was subject to continual groaning for many years, and was afflicted by much grief; and yet he never perceived himself to have accomplished anything worthy of his labors. He might really conclude all his labor to be utterly lost, after praying so often and so perseveringly without effect. But the angel meets him finally and testifies to his acceptance with God, and enables him to acknowledge that he had not suffered any repulse, although he had failed to obtain the object of his earnest desires. Hence, when we become anxious in our thoughts, and are induced to despair through the absence of all profit or fruit from our prayers, and through the want of an open and immediate answer, we must derive this instruction from the angel's teaching, Daniel, who was most acceptable to God, was heard at length, without being permitted to see the object of his wishes with his bodily eyes. He died in exile, and never beheld the performance of the Prophet's prophecies concerning the happy state of the Church, as if immediately preparing to celebrate its triumphs. At the end of the verse, as I have already mentioned, the angel stimulates Daniel to greater zeal, and urges him to apply his mind and all his senses attentively to understand the prophecy which the angel was commanded to bring before him. It now follows, --

Blogging section should be or should be not on the website! Is always a subject to debate, so many websites have this section and it is regularly updated by an authenticated person. On the other hand, lots of websites are exist on the internet, which do not contain blogging section. Thus, beginner or small business owner discusses with internet marketing experts regarding their website should have a blogging platform or not. In my three years, successful career in website development and Internet Marketing industries I have been taking part in such debates with my clients concerning blogging. My recommendation for them is 'Blogging section must have on your website.'
I have been keenly interested in reading and always likes to read interested and unique contents on the internet, even it is my habit that I read basic information about the product before purchase it. Just imagine! How many people come to the internet to satisfy their curiosity! I think millions and more!
If you are really dedicated to your customers, it's your duty to provide exact information about your product and service to them and blogging is the simple medium to engage with them! They always visit your website, thus you can easily maintain adequate traffic to your website and your website will get a good ranking in the search engines.
We all know that Search Engines love content & blog is all about informative content. So, this is what a search engine wants. It means that your website ranking will be better & achieve more visitors. It converts traffic to revenue generating leads.
It is a not doubt that social media is more powerful medium to connect with the enormous internet crowd. You need to understand that blog is also part of the social media to share skills and knowledge with the community. Your website should have social media sharing feature in the blogging section.
Content should be unique and rich dominated the information that delight the reader to share with their followers. Thus, you can build your brand values in social media that improve the traffic on your website and ultimately, it can convert leads into deals. However, you have a small business and newly start the online business.
You may have an idea that 80% traffic is organic on a website that comes through search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. Algorithm system on the search engines is deciding the website's position in the search result page if your website has good rank, it appears on top of the SERPs and thus you get huge organic traffic. The content is the key to obtaining a good niche in the search engines. Even Google's motto is "Content is King" means if your content is unique and outright dedicated to a reader then you get automatically get top position in a result page.
The blog also crawls in search engines and rich content show at a top niche in SERPs. It effectively obtains the attention of readers.. Thus, you will be succeed to gain huge organic traffic and it supports the website to get good rank by the algorithm. Second, most, you should frequently update a blog on the site to keep it 'fresh' and engage with regular visitors.
The blog is also a powerful source to build internal links, which crawl in search engines and improve the visibility of linked web pages. You can put related links with a specific keyword in blog to generate internal links. That helps the web page to optimize search engines.
In short, blogging section on a website has lots of SEO Advantages. You can optimize your web pages in search engines through internal links in a blog. Thus, your web site crawls in the search engines frequently and get good rank.
Eventually, the blog has its importance in the search engines and social media as well. Still, so many consumers read about the product before purchase. Blogging section is a simple way to engage with customers and blog loudly tells a story of your products and brand. It also supports the website into optimization in the search engine; it also helps to gain good position in SERPs.

Given to Fly: What I Learned From Traveling as a Trans Man
Bruno Cinti
By Bruno Cinti
I have been the aftermath of my very own Hiroshima. I've been a phoenix. I've been Pikachu at an LGBT* party. The scene existed, and it was pure magic. I was a perfectly timed word, an embrace or a shelter against the cold for someone once.
I was happy, even though I was broken.
I was fleeting. An eternal passenger, uprooting myself from everything and everyone.
So fleeting I became a rover.
My first journey was the dawn after the crippling pain of betrayal. No, it's not bad poetry. Literally. It was the morning after I found out that the alleged woman of my life was cheating on me with a coworker. As I watched my world crumbling and my concept of love explode like a bottle of beer in a bar brawl, I thought about not going on the trip. Fuck that.
Setting foot on the Island was like returning to the realms of magic. Finding newly sprouted wings where I had shoulders. It has whetted an insatiable thirst. Suddenly the world was huge and I… I was born an explorer. Suddenly I could face my fears. Even if sometimes they still won. I stared them down, letting them know their expiration date was close.
Traveling as a trans man brought about a whole new set of dreads. Airports. Not passing in a situation where I preferred to go stealth. Coming out to the wrong crowd. Hostel bathrooms. Those used to be especially terrifying. Fortunately I have come to realize that the world is far less scary than my imagination. I found nothing but acceptance and respect. I won't deny it is a privilege. But there are good people out there. Lots of them.
I have done so much I thought I never would. I got drunk in a battered airstrip that ran across a whole island. I loved on a rocky ledge covered by crunchy moss, overlooking the birth of a waterfall. I walked through a volcano. I set with the sun among palm tress. I strolled down the Street of Sighs. I relaxed where the fields become the sea. I backpacked in Europe.
I met the most unexpected people. Two Brazilian siblings in their sixties who shared a joint with me in Patagonia. He was a passionate naturalist. She'd been the first woman in a motorcycle club. Pure rock and roll. A gaucho from Mendoza, who lived alone and completely cut off in his shack, waking up every morning to the overwhelming Pincheira Castles. A French drug dealer. A Swedish hippie who lived in a cave house. A 7-year-old boy who spoke cockney English and Andalucian Spanish and believed that earthquakes were caused by monsters playing puzzles. A German girl who sang Bob Dylan songs in front of a bonfire. A Chinese man who witnessed my first glimpse of Amsterdam and was extra kind to me, although I had spilled my beer on him (accidentally!). So many faces, so many ways of recovering my faith in mankind. So many I can't stop. There are so many more out there. So many unlikely connections, so many roads to take. So many fears to beat.
Maybe I am also immature. Maybe I'm afraid of staying. Somewhere, or in someone. Maybe I'd rather be the fleeting smile and not the feet of clay.
But who cares when adventure awaits?

MSG XC Round 2 – Henham Park
Mud, Sweat & Gears XC Series – Round 2 – Henham Park – Race report by Laura Sampson 🙂
Sussed Out riders all thought during the week leading up to MSG Round 2 at Henham Park that they would finally be having a dry race……unfortunately not!! Friday's forecast was heavy rain all day and it certainly did just that! Thankfully though the guys at MSG had put together a great course that was as resilient to the weather as any course could be and the racing was fierce!
Upon arriving at Henham and going out for a practise, the course was not as bad as we expected. Luckily it was not the sort of mud that we raced in at Hintlesham one round earlier where the mud stuck to your bike like clay! The course was a more sandy consistency which held up much better! The course this year was a reverse of last years and felt like there was more climbing. Certain parts of the course were still quite muddy, boggy and slippery but there was no tyre change for us, the Mitas Scylla is so versatile in all weathers!
The morning race kicked off at 10am for team riders Laura (Elite), Caitlyn (Youth), Elvita (Sport) and Jason (Open) with the sun shining and a lovely warmth on our faces 🙂 The start was fast paced, everyone desperately trying to get to the front to enter the single track first. The first lap proved that this was going to be a tough race with constant pedalling at times through the boggy mud which was extremely hard going. Eventually as the laps passed a dry line formed which helped a little. The MSG team had spiced up the course this year by putting a couple of drops in with a berm down a steep decent, giving those that rode it a good time advantage!
Andy tackling the techy A line in the afternoon race
Caitlyn got a superb start and pushed on hard all race; after completing three laps finished a well deserved 2nd place 🙂 Laura crossed the finish line after 5 laps in 3rd place following great rides from Mel Paddington & Hollie Bettles. Elvita won her category in fine style with a margin of nearly 7 and a half minutes, completing 4 laps! A superb effort! Another great effort came from Jason who, even after two crashes, finished his best result to date – 14th!
Next up was Dean racing at 12.30pm within a large field of 29 boys. The under 12's course took in parts of the track avoiding the technical A Line but did include a very steep hill. Dean got an excellent start and led the boys off. Coming over the start/finish line after one lap Dean was in 4th position. He dug deep to try at catch up to 2nd and 3rd place but after two laps Dean finished in 4th. The racing was extremely close, only 52 seconds separating 1st – 4th, well done Dean for a brilliant effort!
The afternoon race was fast approaching and just prior to the gridding the heavens opened, more heavy rain 🙁 This changed the conditions of the course rapidly. The first riders came through the start/finish line with muddy faces but still smiling. The first steep climb was un-rideable so suited those with Cross skills. Andy started five lines back in his category and fought hard through all the riders, racing hard. Crossing the finish line 8th (61 in the Vets field) and after a tough 6 laps was extremely chuffed with his result.
Neil unfortunately suffering with cramp pulled out after 4 laps finishing 21st. Liam rode hard on his first outing in the Expert category. A clash with another rider ended his pursuit and race with a badly injured ankle.
Well done to all the Sussed Out Team racing in what was once again tricky conditions. Thanks to all our sponsors.

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Tusculum University swept the men's and women's individual titles as the Pioneers opened the 2019 cross country season by hosting the Zaxby's Open Friday evening at the Holston Home for Children course.
Nicole McMillen set a collegiate course record in winning the women's race by more than a minute, and Will Cronin repeated his 2018 championship in the event for the Pioneer men as part of a one-two finish with Kyler Hodges for the second year in a row.
Tusculum's men finished second to Milligan with 43 points, while the Pioneer women earned third place in the field of seven teams with 78 points as Milligan captured the women's team title as well.

Isaac Hybarger rounded out the Tusculum lineup by placing 48th in 22:24.2.
As in the women's race, the Milligan men had five runners in the top 10 and won the team title with 34 points, followed by the Pioneers with 43 points and Lincoln Memorial with 68. Southern Wesleyan was fourth with 123 points, followed by Warren Wilson (128), Walters State (149) and UVa-Wise (153).

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Momentum has been the modus operandi in this market, prompted by a five-year bull run, an emergence from a recession, record low interest rates and quantitative easing. With the onset of tapering, threats of higher interest rates looming and massive gains since the 2009 market bottom, momentum will decline as a strategy. No longer will high-beta stocks be given a free pass after earnings misses. No longer will all stocks fly together, hitting new highs on a daily basis.
Fundamentals will begin to matter again. Stock picks will need to be right, not just ride along with the crowd. And sell-side analysts will no longer be applauded for upgrades that require very little useful information other than the fact that momentum is in play. This will separate investors who have outperformed by simply riding the trend vs. those who capitalize on both better data and momentum.
So which companies will have the edge? And how can we figure that out?
It's been more than five years since momentum has taken a backseat to analysis and stock-picking. Since that time, new laws have been created to strengthen the Chinese walls that are meant to separate analysts from those who pay their salaries. Typical sell-side analysts may make recommendations with good intentions, but as humans they are subject to influence by employers, companies and clients. With these inherent biases still present among analysts, their performance (or lack thereof), may become apparent when picking the right stocks becomes more important.
I turned to new technology and new financial start-ups in my search for a new, data-driven approach. And I came across a report from the Aite Group highlighting innovative financial technology startups for 2014.
Tangent Data Services is one such start-up. Tangent compiles and analyzes anonymous data on a large number of North American-based emails containing transactional information from more than 400 e-businesses, including Netflix (NFLX) - Get Report, Groupon (GRPN) - Get Report, LinkedIn (LNKD) , Amazon (AMZN) - Get Report, Vistaprint (VPRT) and OpenTable (OPEN) .
Tangent's Founder and CEO Daniel Goldberg provided samples of data available prior to Q1 earnings. So as not to cherry pick, he allowed me to choose as many names as I wanted from all the companies he currently covers. I chose 10.
The data was impressive.
Below I have highlighted Netflix, Groupon and Vistaprint as examples. All three are household names with heavy institutional ownership. All moved dramatically after reporting earnings. The following charts show the quality of Tangent's data.
Tangent's data was perfectly correlated with the year-over-year percentage change in Netflix's actual domestic net streaming additions. This was in line with the consensus view, but impressive nonetheless.
Groupon, on the other hand, definitely shows the power of Tangent's proprietary data analysis. Groupon's gross billing data suggested a 14.3% year-over-year increase, while the consensus view suggested a 20% year-over-year rise. Groupon actually reported 14.7% year-over-year growth in gross billing -- and its stock dropped 21% the following day.
Then there's Vistaprint. Like with Groupon, Tangent's data suggested a different outcome than did the consensus view. Tangent's year-over-year sales growth data was much closer to the actual results than the Street consensus. After reporting earnings, Vistaprint dropped 24.8% the following day.
While Tangent data cannot account for all fundamental information essential to a company's relative performance, this kind of information is a great asset to analysts making recommendations. Unfortunately for sell-side analysts, Tangent only sells their data to the buy-side, keeping the information limited to an exclusive group of investment managers.
If data analytics services keep their information exclusive, then what is the future value of typical sell-side analysts?
The consequences to investment banks, which rely on sell-side research to help generate income, could be dire if they don't find their own way of producing this type of data analysis.
Whether the transition from momentum to value is a process of mean reversion, a healthy mid-cycle bull market, or a consequence of Fed intervention, the outcome will be the same. Fundamentals will matter again.
The question then becomes this: in the new age of big data and technological innovation, will companies like Tangent replace bureaucracy-bound sell-side analysts?
My guess is yes. The next phase of fundamental analysis will look nothing like what old Wall Street recognizes.

Robert Heathcote knows Punta Norte has the physical ability to be a stakes winner but the trainer admits he's not so sure about the four-year-old's mental state.
Punta Norte, who has mixed some brilliant performances with some equally awful runs, gets his black-type chance in Saturday's Listed Tattersall's Members Cup (1600m) at Doomben.
"He was very good first-up and then he was too fresh and wanted to over-race second-up," Heathcote said.
"On pure ability and his work on Tuesday morning he could win on Saturday. But he is a head case and who knows?
"For all that, one day the penny will drop and you will see a very good horse."
Punta Norte has won five of his 17 starts but there is little doubt if his racing manners were better, he would have a greater winning record.
He was a good third first-up over 1110m at Doomben five weeks ago and then at his last start was beaten two lengths when midfield behind Mischievous Devil over 1350m at Doomben on February 13.
Right Or Wrong is the TAB's $1.60 favourite for the Members Cup with Punt Norte on the third line of TAB betting on Friday at $6.50 behind the Peter and Paul Snowden-trained Snippets Land at $6.
Heathcote will also have Bewhatyouwannabe ($11) in the Member's Cup.
"He tries and hasn't had much luck at all. He is nicely drawn in three this time," Heathcote said.
The trainer is also looking forward to the debut of promising youngster Capo Di Tutti in the Winning Edge Presentation 2YO (1050m).
Capo Di Tutti was an eye-catching 4-1/2 length winner of a Deagon barrier trial on February 16, running a slick 45.41 seconds for 850m.
By Written Tycoon out of Queenie, the gelding is a brother to the now Hong Kong-based Trump who was trained by Heathcote to win the 2012 Group Three Gunsynd Classic.
"Trump was Written Tycoon's first black-type winner and, like Trump, I think Capo Di Tutti will need a bit more ground.
"But he trialled well and he is promising," Heathcote said.

PDF Product Sheet OSTENIL TENDON
1 ml contains:
|Sodium hyaluronate and sodium chloride
|20 mg
Disodium phosphate, Sodium dihydrogen phosphate,
Mannitol and water for injections.
Ostenil Tendon is a transparent solution of natural and highly purified sodium hyaluronate obtained by fermentation and is devoid of animal protein. Ostenil Tendon also contains mannitol, a free radical scavenger, which helps to stabilise the chains of sodium hyaluronate.
Because of its lubricating and viscoelastic properties, Ostenil Tendon promotes tendon gliding and the physiological repair process. In addition, due to its macromolecular meshwork Ostenil Tendon reduces the free passage of inflammatory cells and molecules.
For the treatment of pain and restricted mobility in tendon disorders. A tendon is a strong structure of fibrous connective tissue designed to transmit forces from muscle to bone and resist load during muscle contraction. Tendons may be surrounded by different structures; fibrous bands, synovial sheaths, peritendon sheaths, tendon bursae. Overuse or inappropriate biomechanical stress may cause inflammation and/or degenerative changes of the tendon, leading to pain and loss of function. Lubricating the tendon could reduce pain, improve tendon function and reduce the potential for adhesions.

5 Reasons continuous learning platforms are the future of PD
by Participate, on 11/15/17 1:58 PM
After graduating college twenty years ago, a mentor advised me that "continual and perpetual education is the key to success."
I interpreted that advice as the following: work a few years, take an evening class or two, go to grad school and continue to subscribe to the New York Times, all while pursuing a career in my chosen profession.
As we know, a lot has changed over the last 20 years. The internet and interactive communication—for better and worse—has transformed and disrupted virtually every industry. As we now brace ourselves for a future of AI-enhanced productivity—including robots and self-driving cars—it's quite possible that most industries as we know them today will be unrecognizable a generation from now.
In this environment, continual and perpetual education is essential.
Continuous education requires all of us to discover new ways to learn that are enabled by technology but are also driven by connections that exist in professional learning communities.
Educators who self-organize on Twitter and other social networks to share knowledge, resources and best practices with peers around the world have pioneered the continuous learning movement. Continuous learning platforms are now emerging that incorporate these always-on, community-based learning opportunities into more formal professional development programs.
Here are five reasons why continuous learning platforms are the future of professional development for educators.
1. Learning management systems (LMSs) are not designed for professional development
While professional development is a component of some LMSs, most are often designed to process administrative tasks including student registration, scheduling and curriculum delivery.
Interactions are typically contained within a school or organization, and resource availability is most often determined by administrators with limited opportunities for others to socialize and surface up new information.
No LMS is predicated on professional development, nor set up to provide collaborative learning opportunities that educators now expect and find on other outlets including Twitter Chats, Edcamps and EdTech conferences.
2. Knowledge is best transferred through professional learning communities
These days, many new skills and resources become outdated by the time they are institutionalized in top-down professional development environments. This is why so many educators are attracted to professional learning communities and networks that enable them to share ideas, best practices and new digital technologies.
Educators rely on these real-time communities of peers who have tried, failed and iterated upon the very approaches they are considering for their classrooms.
3. Curation and discovery must exist in open environments
There are hundreds of thousands of worthy educational applications, videos and digital tools in the education sector. Educators are organically discovering these through professional learning communities, blogs, conferences and a myriad of other settings.
Unfortunately, PD programs and LMSs typically limit access to a finite list of top-down, pre-approved resources that are outdated and often uninspiring.
Continuous learning platforms have open resource discovery and curation environments that allow communities of educators to identify compelling resources, and then tag them for subject, grade level, standards and other attributes.
Here, there are no limits to what is accessible (outside of blacklisted tools that have no merit in educational settings). Communities of educators also share best practices and inform other users about current resources.
4. Accomplishments deserve to be recognized and shared
Professional development must be predicated upon learning, practice and evidence of impact on student outcomes, rather than seat time or a scan of a badge at an education conference.
Continuous learning platforms are designed to recognize and showcase how teachers are learning and sharing insight with their students through badging and a suite of credentialing opportunities.
From interactive courses where educator output and student impact is evaluated by a community of peers, to incorporating new resources discovered during a Twitter chat or Edcamp, to creating a collection of apps, videos and websites around a current events topic, continuous learning platforms track, document and advance professional learning in all of its dynamic forms.
5. Ideas and resources must be shared globally
Professional learning communities are interconnected. While continuous learning platforms allow any school, district or organization to maintain private communities where educators share resources, ideas and interactive courses, there are always opportunities to connect with other organizations and individuals on the platform that can provide value.
In the 21st century, education must be continual, perpetual and global. Continuous learning platforms are designed to harness all of these connections to power teacher learning and classroom practice in order to achieve better student outcomes across the world.

Objectives The aim of this review was to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events associated with shift work and determine if there is a dose–response relationship in this association. Method Electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched for cohort or case–control control study designs in any population, reporting exposure to shift work as the main contributing factor to estimate CVD risk. For each study, adjusted relative risk (RR) ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were extracted, and used to calculate the pooled RR using random-effect models. Meta-regression analysis was conducted to explore potential heterogeneity sources. Potential non-linear dose–response relationships were examined using fractional polynomial models. Results We included 21 studies with a total of 173 010 unique participants. The majority of the studies were ranked low-to-moderate risk of bias. The risk of any CVD event was 17% higher among shift workers than day workers. The risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) morbidity was 26% higher (1.26, 95% CI 1.10 -1.43, I2= 48.0%). Sub-group analysis showed an almost 20% higher risk of CVD and CHD mortality among shift workers than those who did not work shifts (1.22, 95% CI 1.09–1.37, I2= 0% and 1.18, 95% CI 1.06–1.32 I2=0%; respectively). After the first five years of shift work, there was a 7.1% increase in risk of CVD events for every additional five years of exposure (95% CI 1.05–1.10). Heterogeneity of the pooled effect size (ES) estimates was high (I2=67%), and meta-regression analysis showed that sample size explained 7.7% of this. Conclusions The association between shift work and CVD risk is non-linear and seems to appear only after the first five years of exposure. As shift work remains crucial for meeting production and service demands across many industries, policies and initiatives are needed to reduce shift workers' CVD risk.

Courtney Tobias Benner, PHS Class of 1995, grew up in a house with parents that were both school principals. She was expected by her parents to be an excellent student. She was such an excellent student, she earned the distinction of being named Valedictorian of her 1995 PHS graduating class.
Along the way, Courtney also had success in athletics as she was a member of the swim team and tennis team at PHS all four years of high school. She excelled here as well as in the classroom as she earned a varsity letter in each season.
In tennis, Courtney earned All-Conference during her sophomore, junior, and senior season. She also earned Academic All-State her senior year in tennis. As a team, the Pilgrims won the Northern Lakes Conference and IHSAA Sectional each one of her years in high school.
While a part of the swim team during the winter months, she was a part of the school record holding Medley Relay and 400 Freestyle Relay teams.
After high school, Courtney matriculated north to the University of Notre Dame where she earned her B.A. in Psychology. She then attended Loyola University in Chicago where she earned her Master's Degree in Educational Psychology.
Courtney currently lives in Atlanta, GA with husband Jake and their two children Grant (9) and Reese (6). Courtney has been teaching at East Rivers Elementary School since 2002. She has taught second grade, third grade, and is currently teaching 5th grade.
When queried about the balance between academics and athletics, Courtney responded by saying, "I wanted to excel in both. Swimming taught me self-discipline; when you're getting up at 5:00 in the morning for practice, attending school all day and then getting back in the pool in the afternoon, you realize down time is precious and you are productive whenever the opportunity allows."
Courtney's early successes in her life, has lead to many successes as an adult. The Plymouth High School Athletic Department would like to thank Courtney for her help in supplying us the information for this article. We wish her and her family many more successes!

40k Lesson #36
Here are a list of things I like to have going in the background when I paint minis (in no particular order):
1) Dawn of War or Dawn of War II soundtrack
2) Other music (preferably something geeky like Bad Dudes or a movie soundtrack)
3) Detroit Tigers games
4) 40k podcasts
One thing I learned the other day, though, is hockey and miniature painting do NOT go well together.
I tried to paint over the weekend during the Wings/Pens Stanley Cup Finals (I know the NHL dropped the "s" in Finals this year, but I refuse to acknowledge such ridiculousness). It didn't work. Errant brush strokes. Paint that dried on the pallet while I stared transfixed at the TV. A dropped piece or 2. A broken brush when I got pissed off and snapped it in my hands as I clenched my fists. That dead hooker.
All in all, it just isn't worth it.
And since the Wings blew a good opportunity by allowing 3 unanswered goals in the 2nd period of game 4...I'm turning the game off and painting tonight. I've got enough things between my family and work to piss me off, I don't need the Wings pushing me over the edge. I will NOT buy a gun. I will NOT go on a shooting spree. And I sure as hell will NOT have my last words be "Dakka dakka."...at least in that context. If my last words are "dakka dakka" when I die of old age....or in bed with Felicia Day, then so be it. I can live with that.
5 comments:
If I had a nickel for every time I had to dispose of a dead hooker...ReplyDelete
I've either got my iPod on random, or tv such as the History channel or Discovery or something. I lose track of time, and when the same show that was on at nine cycles back through again...I know it's time to go to bed!ReplyDelete
I have to have 40K radio on. I can't paint without it. I've tried music, tv, silence. None of them work, especially silence. Listening to 40K radio while I paint helps to immerse myself into the hobby realm.ReplyDelete
I'm right there with you Oni... I used to listen to specially selected music, but then I started listening to 40K radio and now I can't paint without it. The total and complete 40K immersion is just all kinds of fun.ReplyDelete
I meant to add I'll also listen to Dice Like Thunder, and 40K Warcasting and a couple others I can't think of right at the moment, but they're all good for helping you get into the painting mode.ReplyDelete

According to a customer survey carried out by Warrantywise, the public dislike dealing with workshops more than any other trade; 78 per cent of women and 62 per cent of men believe they will be ripped off when getting their car fixed.
The survey also highlighted that the public lacks understanding when it comes to the components their vehicles use and the words mechanics use to describe service methods and parts.
"Although it might sound like an oversimplification, the answer is to provide customers with complete clarity," explains Shaun Greasley of TecAlliance UK & Ireland.
"It's obvious from the survey, and from our combined experience as individuals within the trade, that the majority of the general public has become so disconnected from how cars work, that they have no idea of their requirements.
"On top of this, it is left to those who are the least trusted – and often least equipped – to try and educate them, while at the same time presenting the bill!"
"First class job"
TecAlliance repair and maintenance information (RMI) allows technicians to access seven million items of technical data, more than 21.5 million repair times, 230,000 service plans and 900,000 repair instructions.
"TecAlliance RMI users have an effective tool to tackle the problem, because it gives them the ability to demonstrate to their customers exactly what is required for a specific service or repair, how long it will take, what parts are needed and even how much those parts will cost," continued Shaun.
"This provides consumers with the clarity they crave and goes a long way to restoring the element of trust.
"Naturally, the work still needs to be completed in the correct manner, which is where RMI delivers again because through its detailed service actions and repair processes, it provides a proficient technician with all the information they need to carry out a first class job and, ultimately, that's what really counts for the workshop and motorist alike."

Keywords: intraoperative neuromonitoring, brachial plexus injury, neuropathic pain, peripheral nerve surgery, peripheral nerve disorders. Introduction. Damage of the brachial plexus (BP) takes a special place among the trauma of the upper limb, also in peripheral nervous system. Disability with brachial plexus injury (BPI) is more than 85%. According to statistics, people of working age make up 70-75%. During microsurgical operations on the brachial plexus difficult to find damaged branches, as they may be surrounded by scar tissue. In this study we show our experience of using intraoperative neuromonitoring (IOM) during the operations on brachial plexus. Methods. We analyzed clinical cases of BPI at the Department of peripheral nerves surgery in the City Clinical Hospital No7 of Almaty. The period of research is 2 years (2015 – 2016 yy). Neurosurgical treatment included: the restoration of trunks BP and neurotization of trunks BP. IOM has been used at the step of separation nerve trunks of the brachial plexus, by direct somatosensory evoked potentials (stimulation with 10-12 mA). Results. Total number of patients was 30 (male - 25, female - 5). Types of surgery that we used: autotransplantation 16% (5 patients), external/internal neurolysis 63% (19 patients), nerve suture 3% (1 patient), neurotization 18% (5 patients). As a result of treatment clinical improvement occurred in 42 % (with partial or complete interruption of nerve) and in 75% (with compressing, traction damage, cicatricial process). Conclusion. Results of surgical treatment depends of BP damage nature. IOM helps find the damaged trunks of the BP and intraoperative stimulation improves clinical outcome.

First names in reference to a man of peace
A child's personality and psychology are influenced by their first name. If you want your child to be an actor of complete peace around him like Prem Rawat (https://www.wopg.org/prem-rawat/ ) , or simply volunteer in organizations for world peace like the Prem Rawat Foundation, choose the first name which aspires peace. If you are looking for a baby name that has real meaning, there is no better promise for the future than this.
Here are 10 first names with wonderful symbolism around peace
A sweet and airy name that will delight parents looking for originality. The dove is a universal symbol of peace, but is also associated with purity and courage. In Roman mythology, it is the favorite bird of Venus, the goddess of love. The little doves are known to be charming, dreamy and passionate.
The olive tree is a tree loaded with strong symbolism: in ancient Greek culture, the olive branch is a sign of peace and hope. The associated name is just as poetic, and will be perfect for an intelligent and perseverant boy. We also love her feminine version, Olivia, which also has the advantage of being a most universal first name.
A rare and original name, which seduces us with its melodious sounds and its beautiful meaning: Alana is a Gaelic name which means "harmony", "justice". Little Alanas are often very creative, lively and full of imagination.
This Hebrew first name comes from the word "absalom", which means "father of peace". Very popular, it is currently the 27th most used name in France. Its advantage? Short and sound, it combines modernity and powerful symbolism.
It is a name which comes from the Greek "eirenè", peace. It is a name that is rare these days, but which seduces us with its somewhat retro originality and its symbolism.
In Hebrew, Noah means "rest", "appeasement". It is a sweet and powerful name at the same time, since it necessarily evokes the builder of the Ark, which according to the Book of Genesis, allowed humanity to survive the flood. Noahs are natural leaders, who never have to use force to be heard, caring and philosophical.
The name Paloma comes from the Latin word "palumba" which means "dove". It is actually a more international variant of the first name "Dove", and its popularity has exploded since the early 2000s. The Palomas are very sociable and are known for their adamant will.
A German given name, formed from the Germanic word "frido", peace, and from "rik", "the chief, the master": it means "the peaceful king". The Frederics are children with a strong character, natural leaders who combine curiosity, dynamism and loyalty.
This first name comes from Latin, "serenus", "calme". It is a name which had almost disappeared in France until 1950, but which has always remained very popular in the United States, Spain and Italy. We love the originality and the sweetness full of strength of this name, which we often associate with women of a fist but with the heart on the hand.
Liam is an Irish name that has become extremely popular because it is original, sweet and short. 35th most given name in France today, it means: "the people for me". It is a name that will be perfect for a very sociable, open and passionate little boy.

Well, friends, it's the end of an era. This is the last Higl's Squiggles you'll ever have the honor of reading. (Not to worry, though. I'll write my final 'thank you' column in the senior edition in late April. That'll be a tearjerker.)
Ah yes, they've finally done it. They've finally kicked me out.
I only kid. It's just our typical transition period to a new staff.
But as I reach my final days as editor in chief of this award-winning newspaper, I think, "Was it all worth it?"
Before you gasp out of horror and disgust on how I can even question the work of my college career, hear me out.
Here at The Carroll News, the staff dedicate their lives to producing an award-winning newspaper. With that said, staffers sacrifice a lot to put together this publication you read on the john or throw across the Quad, offering it up as a sacrifice to the terrifying JCU squirrels (but it works better if you put peanut butter on it).
There's little time for a social life, sleep, healthy eating habits, full devotion to schoolwork (sorry, I had to say it) and sanity.
In the end, these fours years have been just one, giant marathon. You don't know if you're going to make it along the way. You throw up. You urinate yourself. You sprain your ankle or tear a muscle. And, when you reach the finish line, you're much more disheveled than when you first started.
Along the course of this marathon, I (metaphorically) threw up, sprained my ankle and tore multiple muscles. (Notice I left out the urination part. That's just far too embarrassing and gross.)
Ever since becoming editor-in-chief, I've grown insane, sleep deprived, sassier (probably because of sleep deprivation and insanity) and can't even remember the last time
I've gone out. (What are these Pub Tuesdays you speak of?) I've learned it isn't wise to schedule a class before noon (it was quite embarrassing when I passed out in the front row of philosophy class, drooling on my desk). I've learned that people will remember and point out all your flaws and typos, but forget your triumphs. I've learned that people are irrational and difficult to work with.
And, I've often asked myself one question: Was it all worth it?
Yes, I suppose it was. There were plenty of times I almost quit working on this newspaper (I'm woman enough to admit it).
But, I've learned so much. I've learned patience. I've learned humility. I've learned to hold my dearest friends close. I've learned teamwork. I've learned to never use the oxford comma (thanks, AP style). I've learned to take a deep breath, look my haters in the eye, nod, smile and move on.
I've learned so much from my staffers, readers and critics.
To all you readers out there, I thank you (again, you'll be receiving even more thanks in my final column in the special senior edition). You've been my motivation.
Although I'm convinced only my parents read my column, I'm absolutely floored and grateful when someone from the JCU community takes five minutes to skim my feminist rants or witty written banter. You've been my motivation to cross the finish line.
Because, loyal readers, it's all about you. We do all this work for you. We sacrifice our sanity, sleep schedules and chance of having friends to keep you informed and entertained. And even if you don't agree with what we print, well then kudos to you – at least you gave us a few minutes of your time (and, your constructive criticism makes us better).
And, of course, what wouldn't a sassy Higl's Squiggle's column be without some advice. So here's my advice to you, readers: In your four years at JCU, find your marathon. Find something that physically, mentally and emotionally pushes you to your limits. Find something where you'll be able to grow and develop. Because, who got anywhere by playing it safe?
So, here I leave you, loyal readers.
Cue the credits, draw the curtains and all those crazy clichés.

Spain new house prices drop to 2003 levels
Prices for new Spanish houses fell for the 5th consecutive year during 2012, hitting levels not seen since the start of 2003, a surveyors' association said on Wednesday.
New house prices were 33.5% lower on average than at the peak of a housing market bubble that burst in 2007 and would keep falling through 2013 as low demand fails to soak up the massive stock overhang, Sociedad de Tasacion said.
Prices dropped 6.9% in 2012 year on year, according to the association's figures, which showed the regions of Navarra and La Rioja had registered the steepest falls.
"However, it could be that the drop in prices, which is expected to continue, will begin to make properties more attractive to international investors which will help absorb stock," it said.
Spain slipped into its 2nd recession in 2 years at the end of 2011 and battered consumer and business confidence is expected to keep its economy shrinking late in to this year.
The property crash has been disastrous for Spain's banks, some of which have since been nationalised and forced to accept European aid.
Many of those lenders are now shifting foreclosed homes and troubled property loans off their books and into a 'bad bank', which received 37 billion of toxic assets from 4 nationalised banks at the end of December.

The Saskatchewan government is still weighing whether it will provide assistance to producers who lost animals and property in October's wildfires.
Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said the province has already agreed to help pay for the burial of what is now estimated at 770 cattle killed or euthanized as a result of the fires in southwestern Saskatchewan.
"Generally speaking, when it comes to paying for livestock, we haven't used AgriRecovery to cover insurable losses, so we're kind of caught in that precedent and it's a bit of an uncomfortable place to be," he said Oct. 25.
Some affected producers have said governments should step forward to help in the unusual circumstances of the fire and wind storm that occurred Oct. 17. In addition to the hundreds of cattle, miles of fences and other infrastructure and acres and tonnes of feed were lost.
However, Stewart said he is unsure about setting a new precedent, and added that feed assistance programs haven't always worked.
"In the past we've implemented programs to cover some of the cost of transporting feed and we found that those programs were just built into the cost of the feed," he said.
"We don't want to go in that direction again, but if there (are) some things we could do, we'd be interested in that."
A wildfire relief fund established by the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association had raised more than $100,000 worth of donations in about 24 hours.
President Shane Jahnke said all types and sizes of donations were rolling in, from a large ranch that pledged $30,000 to animal health and feed companies and agri-retailers.
"A lot of it right now is feed," he said. "What we're probably looking for as well is (donated) trucking assistance because people can donate from all over the place, but it's hard to get the trucks there."
The Mennonite Disaster Service has volunteered time to rebuild fences.
"It's just been absolutely remarkable," Jahnke said.
He also said that a final tally of damage should be completed before the government announces any further help, if it intends to do so.
"How do you put a value on native grass?" he said.
"If we don't get rain and it doesn't grow back, it's invaluable. If we get a rain, it will bounce back quick."
