Table of
"Just Justified"
Chapter 10 is pivotal in the Book of Acts, for it records the salvation of the Gentiles. We see Peter using "the keys of the kingdom" (Matthew 16:19) for the third and last time.
This event took place about ten years after Pentecost. Why did the Apostles wait so long before going to the lost Gentiles? After all, in His Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), Jesus had told them to go into all the world, and it would seem logical for them to go to their Gentile neighbors as soon as possible. But God has His times as well as His plans, and the transition from the Jews to the Samaritans to the Gentiles was a gradual one.
The stoning of Stephen and the subsequent persecution of the church marked the climax of the Apostles' witness to the Jews. Then the Gospel moved to the Samaritans. When God saved Saul of Tarsus, He got hold of His special envoy to the Gentiles. Now was the time to open the door of faith to the Gentiles and bring them into the family of God.

Acts 10:1 & 2
Caesarea is sixty-five miles northwest of Jerusalem and thirty miles north of Joppa (Jaffa). At that time, Caesarea was the Roman capital of Judea.

It is impossible to designate which Cornelius this was. Cornelius was an especially common name in Rome ever since Publius Cornelius Sulla in 82 B.C. liberated 10,000 slaves, who were enrolled in the "gens Cornelia," to which he belonged.
What we DO know about this Cornelius:
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:3
Ninth hour
About 3 o'clock p.m. This was the usual hour of evening worship among the Jews.
See the Parable of the Laborers in the field:
A vision
The text is as plain as it can be, that an angel of God did appear to Cornelius. This was in a vision, i.e. a supernatural representation.
An angel of God
A heavenly messenger who either
Angelos and the Hebrew equivalent, malak (which also means "messenger"), are the two most common terms used to describe this class of beings in the Bible. In general, in texts where an angel appears, his task is to convey the message or do the will of the God who sent him. Since the focus of the text is on the message, the messenger is rarely described in detail.
(from Holman Bible Dictionary. Copyright © 1991 by Holman Bible Publishers. All rights reserved.)
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:4-6
Observed him
Greek: atenizo - Fixed his eyes attentively on him.
What is it, Lord?
This is the expression of surprise and alarm. The word "Lord" could have been translated "sir," since there is no evidence that this is an address to God, and still less that he regarded the personage present as the Lord. It is such language as a man would naturally use who was suddenly surprised; who should witness a strange form appearing unexpectedly before him; and who should exclaim, "Sir, what is the matter?"
Come up for a memorial
Are remembered before God. They were an evidence of piety toward God, and were accepted as such.
Though he had not offered sacrifice according to the Jewish laws; though he had not been circumcised; yet, having acted according to the light which he had, his prayers were hard, and his alms were accepted. This was done in accordance with the general principle of the divine administration, that God prefers the offering of the heart to external forms; the expressions of love to sacrifice without it. This he had often declared, 1 Samuel 15:22, Hosea 6:6; Ecclesiastes 5:1.
Lodging with Simon
He remains as a guest at his house. See Acts 9:43.
By the sea-side
Joppa was a seaport on the Mediterranean. Tanneries are erected on the margin of streams or of any body of water to convey away the filth produced in the operation of dressing skins.
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:7 & 8
When the angel...departed
Immediately doing as directed, and thus showing the simplicity of his faith. In all probability he dispatched the messengers the same evening.

Household servants
These were in a rather special category of servants or slaves in that they were closely related to the affairs of the household and were obviously trusted individuals. It would be important, therefore, to avoid using some general term for slaves of servants, for Cornelius was obviously very particular in the choice of persons to whom he would commit this important task. It might even be possible to employ an expression such as "personal servants."
(from the UBS Handbook Series. Copyright (c) 1961-1997, by United Bible Societies)
A devout soldier
A pious man. This is an instance of the effect of piety in a military officer. Few people have more influence; and in this case the effect was seen not only in the piety of his family, but of this attending soldier.
It has already been remarked that Cornelius had taken care to instruct his family in divine things; and it appears also that he had been attentive to the spiritual interests of his regiment. We do not find that it was then, even among the Romans, considered a disgrace for a military officer to teach his men lessons of morality, and piety toward God, whatever it may be in some Christian countries in the present time.

Sent them to Joppa
It has been properly remarked, that from Joppa, Jonah was sent to preach to the Gentiles of Nineveh (Jonah 1:1); and from the same place Peter was sent to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles at Caesarea.

From the Amplified Bible
There was then a distinction between clean and unclean, indicated by the calling of Abraham, but more explicitly by the Levitical rites and laws; yet appointed from the beginning, for we read of it in the time of Noah; a distinction applicable to men, to food, to dwellings, to land, to animals. This distinction was made by God for special ends, but at Jesus Christ's death the distinction had served its purpose. God interposed, and threw down the middle wall of partition:
Acts 10:9
As they went
Caesarea was about 35 miles north of Joppa and could not be reached in one day. Cornelius received the vision at 3:00 p.m. (Acts 10:3); so if they started on the journey shortly after that they would reach Peter by noon.
On the housetop
Many homes had a flat roof which was reached by a stairway from outside.
The small room in the second story, or on the roof of the house, was the usual place for retirement and prayer. See the notes on Matthew 9:2. Even when there was no room constructed on the roof, the roof was a common resort for retirement and prayer. Around the edge a battlement or parapet was commonly made, within which a person could be quite retired from public view. "At Jaffa, the ancient Joppa," says Prof. Hackett (illustrations of Scripture, p. 81), "where Peter was residing at the time of his vision on the house-top, I observed houses furnished with a wall around the roof, within which a person could sit or kneel without any exposure to the view of others, whether on the adjacent houses or in the streets. At Jerusalem I entered the house of a Jew early one morning, and found a member of the family, sitting secluded and alone on one of the lower roofs, engaged in reading the Scriptures and offering his prayers."
Dr. Thomson (Land and the Book, vol. i.p. 52) says of these roofs, "When surrounded with battlements, and shaded by vines trained over them, they afford a very agreeable retreat, even at the sixth hour of the day - the time when Peter was favored with that singular vision, by which the kingdom of heaven was thrown open to the Gentile world."
Sixth hour
Twelve o'clock (at noon).
The Jews had two stated seasons of prayer, morning and evening. But it is evident that the more pious of the Jews frequently added a third season of devotion, probably at noon.
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:10-12
While they made ready
That is, preparing a meal - it would seem that this was the customary hour of dining. The Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans, however, had but two meals, and the first was usually taken about ten or eleven o'clock. This meal usually consisted of fruit, milk, cheese, etc. Their principal meal was about six or seven in the afternoon, at which time they observed their feasts. See Jahn's Bible. Archaeol. Section 145.
A trance
Ekstasis (NT:1611) ecstasy
The word "trance" here is from a Greek word which literally means "to stand out of," and is brought over into our language in the word "ecstasy." The experience which both of these apostles (Peter, here, and John in Revelation 1:10) went through was that of being so absolutely controlled by the Holy Spirit, that their physical senses of sight, hearing, feeling, were not registered so far as any recognized impressions were concerned. It was as if they were temporarily outside of their bodies. The control of the Holy Spirit over their faculties was such that He could give them the visions they had, Peter, the vision of the sheet let down from heaven, John, the prophetic visions of the Revelation.

Saw heaven opened
As Steven saw when he gazed into heaven in Acts 7:56.
This language is derived from a common mode of speaking in the Hebrew Scriptures, as if the sky above us was a solid, vast expanse, and as if it were opened to present an opportunity for anything to descend. It is language that is highly figurative.
Originally "fine linen;" later, "sail-cloth" or a "sail." Dr. J. Rawson Lumby suggests that the word, "applied to loose, bellying sails of ships," may indicate that the form of vessel which appeared to Peter "recalled an image most familiar to his previous life - the wind-stretched canvas of the craft on the Lake of Galilee" ("Expositor," iii., 272).

Four corners
A symbol of totality, and often of the entire world (as in Isaiah 11:12; Ezekiel 7:2; Revelation 7:1; Revelation 20:8).
All kinds
Every species of quadrupeds, whether wild or domestic; all reptiles, and all fowls.
Consequently, both the clean and unclean were present in this visionary representation: those that the Jewish law allowed to be sacrificed to God, or proper for food; as well as those which that law had prohibited in both cases: such as the beasts that do not chew the cud; fish which have no scales; fowls of prey, and such others as are specified in Leviticus 11.
(from Adam Clarke's Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1996, 2003, 2005 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:13 & 14
There are 6 words in the New Testament translated kill:
Clarke observes:
Sacrifice and eat. Though this verb is sometimes used to signify the slaying of animals for food, yet, as the proper notion is to slay for the purpose of sacrifice, it appears to me to be better to preserve that meaning here. Animals that were offered in sacrifice were considered as given to God; and, when he received the life, the flesh was given to those who offered the sacrifice, that they might feed upon it; and every sacrifice had in it the nature of a covenant; and covenants were usually made by eating together on the flesh of the sacrifice offered on the occasion, God being supposed to be invisibly present with them, and partaking of the feast.
(from Adam Clarke's Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1996, 2003, 2005 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)
Not so
Oudamos (NT:3760) strongly emphatic negation - 'no indeed, by no means, most certainly not.'
Common or unclean
When commanded to kill some of these animals and eat, Peter replied that to do so would mean violating the Jewish ritual law against eating unclean foods (Leviticus 11). Furthermore, clean animals had to be prepared in such a way that the blood did not remain within the carcass. Although Peter was a Christian, he was also a good Jew, who did not violate Jewish dietary rules.
(from The Wycliffe Bible Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1962 by Moody Press. All rights reserved.)
Peter saw all kinds of creatures, both clean and unclean and was commanded to kill and eat. His "Not so, Lord!" reminds us of Matthew 16:22, where he told Christ not to go to the cross. Anyone who says "Lord" cannot say "Not so!" If He is truly Lord, we must obey Him.

From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:15 & 16
Perhaps Peter would suppose that the design of this vision was to instruct him that the distinction between clean and unclean food, as recognized by the Jews, was about to be abolished. But the result showed that it had a higher and more important design. It was to show him that they who had been esteemed by the Jews as unclean or profane - the entire Gentile world - might now be admitted to similar privileges with the Jews. That barrier was robe broken down, and the whole world was to be admitted to the same fellowship and privileges in the gospel.
Why did God use a vision about food to teach Peter that the Gentiles were not unclean?
Ephesians 2:11-18
Galatians 3:27-29
Steeped in Jewish tradition and filled with certain biases, Peter was convinced his views on the Gentiles were correct. It took a three-part heavenly vision for God to change Peter's mind. One of the most basic and practical lessons from this encounter is that when God speaks, we must not challenge what he says. Doubting God is the rebellion of Eden. When God says something is so, we must not debate with him. The right response is humble submission to his revealed truth.

Acts 10:17-20
Diaporeo (NT:1280) to be thoroughly perplexed
In all this we find an admirable display of the economy of Providence.
(from Adam Clarke's Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1996, 2003, 2005 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)
The word here rendered "gate," puloona (NT: 4440) refers properly to the porch or principal entrance to an Eastern house.
Doubting nothing
No explanation of the vision has been offered. But Peter is bidden to obey certain directions –
In what follows we find this principle again verified.
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:21-23
Brethren from Joppa
There were 6 of them – Chapter 11:12 (these six brethren accompanied me). Peter knew he would be called into question about his actions, and he was wise to take witnesses. In fact, this was double the amount required by the Law and by the Lord (Deuteronomy 17:6; Deuteronomy 19:15; Matthew 18:16), where "two or three witnesses" were specified.
Altogether, there were 10 who made the trip north from Joppa to Caesarea – verse 7; there were 3 from Cornelius; Peter, and the 6 Christians he took with him.
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:24-26
The following day
Four days were occupied before Peter met Cornelius at Caesarea.
Prosdokao (NT:4328) to expect something to happen, whether good or bad - 'to expect, to anticipate, expectation.'
Wuest translates: "Now, Cornelius was looking for them with eager expectation and hope."
Relatives and close friends
It appears that he had collected the whole circle of his intimate acquaintances, that they also might profit by a revelation which he expected to come immediately from heaven; and these amounted to many persons (vs 27).
(from Adam Clarke's Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1996, 2003, 2005 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)
Fell down ... and worshipped
Proskuneo - (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master's hand); to fawn or crouch to, i.e. (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore):
(Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)
Pipto with proskuneo used together -
Cornelius had been brought up a pagan and was accustomed from boyhood to seeing divine honors rendered to heroes. He no doubt thought Peter was an angel of a higher order, being sent for by an ordinary angel. It was not strange then that he would bow to Peter.
(Dake's Annotated Reverence Bible, Finis Jennings Dake, Dake Publishing, Lawrenceville, GA)
Lifted him up
An expression for "caused him to stand up." In saying that he was only a man Peter is obviously emphasizing that he is not an angel and therefore does not merit any kind of special regard or worship
(from the UBS New Testament Handbook Series. Copyright © 1961-1997, by United Bible Societies.)
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:27 & 28
He probably met him at the door, or at a small distance from the house. It was an expression of joy thus to go out to meet him.
(From Barnes' Notes, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1997 by Biblesoft)
Unlawful ... to keep company
This was not categorically forbidden; but it did render a Jew ceremonially unclean, as did even the entering of a Gentile building or the handling of articles belonging to Gentiles. The most ordinary kinds of food such as bread, milk or olive oil, coming from Gentiles, might not be eaten by strict Jews, not to mention flesh, which might have come from an unclean animal or from one sacrificed to a pagan deity, and which in any case contained blood. Hence, of all forms of relationships with Gentiles, to accept their hospitality and sit at table with them was the most intolerable.
There is no Old Testament regulation forbidding such social contact with Gentiles, though the rabbis had added it and had made it binding by custom. There is nothing more binding upon the average person than social custom. Upon coming from the market, an orthodox Jew was expected to immerse himself to avoid defilement (Edersheim, Jewish Social Life, pp. 26-28; Taylor's Sayings of the Jewish Fathers, pp. 15, 26, 137, second edition). It is that middle wall of partition between Jew and Gentile (Ephesians 2:14) which Jesus broke down.
(from Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1997, 2003 by Biblesoft, Inc. Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament. Copyright © 1985 by Broadman Press.)
The Jews professed to ground this prohibition on the law of Moses; but there is no direct command in the Mosaic law forbidding Jews to associate with those of other nations. But Peter's statement is general, referring to the general practice of the Jews to separate themselves in common life from uncircumcised persons. Juvenal says that the Jews were taught by Moses "not to show the way except to one who practices the same rites, and to guide the circumcised alone to the well which they seek" (Sat., xiv., 104:, 105).

A Comparison
NOTE: They were completely different until #4, when they each yielded to Jesus Christ, and then they were brought closer and closer until they were each filled with the same Spirit, and made one in the Lord, brothers in Jesus Christ.
Peter explained to Cornelius and his company that Jewish law made it "taboo" for a Jew to associate with or visit people of another nation. However, God had now so lifted Peter out of his Jewish scruples that he could no longer look upon any man as ceremonially common or unclean and therefore unfit for social fellowship. God had made his will so clear to Peter that he had accompanied the servants of Cornelius without any objection, a thing he would not have done as a Jew.
(from The Wycliffe Bible Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1962 by Moody Press. All rights reserved.)
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:29-33
The remarkable thing in this section is Peter's question, "I ask, therefore, for what intent ye have sent for me?"
Didn't Peter know that he had been summoned there to preach the Gospel? Had he forgotten the Acts 1:8 commission to go to "the uttermost part of the earth"? Today, we can look back at developing events in the church and understand what God was doing, but it might not have been that easy had we been living in the midst of those events. In fact, the Jerusalem church questioned Peter about his actions (Acts 11:1-18), and later called a conference to deal with the place of the Gentiles in the church (Acts 15).
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:34 & 35
No partiality
The word used here denotes "the act of showing favor to one on account of rank, family, wealth, or partiality arising from any cause." It is explained in James 2:1-4.
The same doctrine is elsewhere explicitly stated in the New Testament, Rom 2:11; Eph 6:9; Col 3:25.
The doctrine may be thus stated:
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:36-38
Vincent suggests that
Peace through Jesus Christ
The Messiah came to Israel, and the Word was preached to Israel. Until now, the Jews had nothing to do with the Gentiles - nor did the Jewish believers in the young church.
When Abraham was called out, there was a separation between his descendants and the rest of mankind.
He is Lord of all
That is, Jesus Christ. He is sovereign, or ruler of both Jews and Gentiles, and hence, Peter saw the propriety of preaching the gospel to one as to the other.
(from Barnes' Notes, Electronic Database Copyright © 1997, 2003, 2005 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)
The word you know
Peter reminds his Gentile audience that the main facts concerning Jesus and the gospel were known to them.
They knew the several matters of fact relating to this word of the gospel sent to Israel.
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:39-41
We are witnesses
Because they had had no more certain information concerning this Jesus, Peter declares to them his resurrection from the dead, and the proofs of it, that they might not think that when he was slain there was an end of him. Probably, they had heard at Caesarea some talk of his having risen from the dead; but the talk of it was soon silenced by that vile suggestion of the Jews, that his disciples came by night and stole him away.
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:42 & 43
He commanded us to preach
The command to preach the Good News of salvation was the last thing Jesus said to them before He ascended into heaven (Mark 16:15-16; Acts 1:8).
Judge the living and the dead
To Him all the Prophets witness
As Jesus Christ was the sum and substance of the law and the Mosaic dispensation, so all the prophets bore testimony, either directly or indirectly, to him; and, indeed, without him and the salvation he has promised, there is scarcely any meaning in the Mosaic economy, nor in most of the allusions of the prophets.
(from Adam Clarke's Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1996, 2003, 2005 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)
Through his name
As in the Lord's prayer: not simply the title, but all that is embraced and expressed by the name: Christ's "entire perfection, as the object revealed to the believer for his apprehension, confession, and worship" (Meyer).
(from Vincent's Word Studies in the New Testament, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1997, 2003, 2005 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)
Whoever believes
Peter's sermon is our first example of preaching to the Gentiles. It contains very little reflection upon the meaning of the person of Christ, no emphasis upon his pre-existence, incarnation, and deity, nor on the atoning character of his death. It is indeed a "primitive Christology," and consists primarily of the proclamation of the facts of Jesus' death, life, and resurrection, and the appeal to believe on him for the forgiveness of sins.

The Holy Spirit fell
Peter was just getting started in his message when his congregation believed and the Holy Spirit interrupted the meeting.

Those of the circumcision
From this point Luke distinguishes Christians into two classes
For they heard them speak with tongues
In other languages than their own native tongue.
This sudden manifestation of the Holy Spirit's power on uncircumcised Gentiles was probably necessary to convince Peter and the six brethren of the circumcision that God had opened the door wide to Gentiles. It was proof that a Gentile Pentecost had come and Peter used it effectively in his defense in Jerusalem (Acts 11:15).
(from Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1997, 2003 by Biblesoft, Inc. Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament. Copyright © 1985 by Broadman Press.)
This is why they knew the Gentiles had received the same Spirit baptism that they had received about eight years before at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-11). This experience proves that
From the Amplified Bible
Acts 10:47 & 48
Can anyone forbid water
This is a sort of challenge thrown out to his own six Jewish brethren, who might be supposed to object to the recognition of their Gentile brethren without circumcision. A great principle is here expressed. He does not say, 'Having received the Spirit, what need have they of water!' But, 'Having received the supernatural seal of real discipleship, who can refuse them the visible token of it!'
(from Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1997, 2003, 2005 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)
Peter at once recognized that the Gentiles should be brought into the fellowship of the church, and he therefore commanded that Cornelius and his family be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
(from The Wycliffe Bible Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1962 by Moody Press. All rights reserved.)
Though they were Gentiles, yet, having received the Holy Ghost, they might be admitted to baptism. The argument is conclusive;
These Gentiles were not saved by being baptized, they were baptized because they gave evidence of being saved. Sinners have always been saved by faith, that is one principle God has never changed. But God does change His methods of operation, and this is clearly seen in Acts chapters 1-10. The experience of Cornelius and his household makes it very clear that baptism is not essential for salvation. From now on, the order will be: hear the Word, believe on Christ and receive the Spirit, and then be baptized and unite with other believers in the church to serve and worship God.
(from The Bible Exposition Commentary. Copyright © 1989 by Chariot Victor Publishing, and imprint of Cook Communication Ministries. All rights reserved. Used by permission.)
Many years ago, I heard a testimony from a man who is from India and of course spoke the different languages of his native land. He as a preacher was in a small Kentucky Pentecostal Church and he heard a person speaking in one of the little known languages of India, which he understood. The person was praising God.
So I state that tongues are a present manifestation of the Holy Spirit in our day.
Paul the Learner
In the name of the Lord
That is, in the name of Jesus Christ; which implied their taking upon them the public profession of Christianity, and believing on Christ Jesus as their Savior and Sovereign; for, as they were baptized in his name, they professed thereby to be his disciples and followers.

Peter and Cornelius provide a great lesson for believers who want to make a real difference in the world. See the following acronym for world:
With this event the period of transition in the early history of the church comes to an end. Believers among the Jews, Samaritans, and Gentiles have all received the Spirit of God and are united in the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:27).

Paleo Diet Grocery List: Grass-Fed Beef.
I walked into my local butcher shop this morning and I saw this amazing looking grass-fed T-Bone Steak. Immediately I thought about firing up the barbeque, make some chimichurri sauce and for the sides, some twice-baked sweet potatoes with roasted garlic and chives. Alas, Tim is away for the next two days visiting his mother, so I can't imagine James, Jake or myself would want to feast on something this great without sharing it with him.
So I took home some grass-fed beef tenderloin instead. Jake and James are at school for two hours longer today, so I would have some extra time preparing something fancy for them. Though I must say that this is not how we eat daily but given that the boys really miss Tim, I thought some extra fancy food would cheer them up.
The plate that I put together below, although a tad more (ok, maybe much more) time consuming than I normally would like to spend on cooking dinner should be included in all the best paleo cookbooks out there, if I do say so myself – let me know if you think otherwise.
But before giving you the recipe and the picture perfection that resulted, hear me out on my thing with grass-fed beef. I hope this will persuade you to include grass-fed beef in your Paleo diet.
My Thoughts On Grass-Fed Beef
No other ways of saying this – cows and grass are made for each other. With a four-compartment stomach, a cow's digestive system can convert grass and leafy herbaceous plants into protein, a key skill that us humans are not capable of. The cows manage this by chewing and softening their food in the first compartment of their stomachs, then regurgitating the cud (food that is brought back from the stomach) and chewing it again. That may not sound too appetizing, but this characteristic is special and places cows in a class of animals called ruminants, a status shared by sheep, goats, bison and deer.
For the ruminants that grace our dinner plates, grass is truly their natural diet as it keeps them healthy and in my carnivorous opinion, pretty yummy.
Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Fed Beef
What a cow eats can have a major effect on the nutrient composition of the beef. This is particularly evident when it comes to fatty acid composition. Grass-fed beef usually contains less fat in total than grain-fed beef, which means grass-fed beef contains fewer calories.
In terms of fatty acid composition, this is where grass-fed beef shines:
- Grass-fed beef has slightly less, saturated and monounsaturated fats.
- Grass-fed beef contains up to five times as much Omega-3 as grain-fed beef. Among many health benefits, Omega-3s help lower risks of heart diseases, relieve arthritis, reduce incidents of depression, lower inflammation, improves symptoms of ADHD, protect against Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
- Grass-fed beef contains about three to five times as much Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) as grain-fed beef. Among many health benefits, CLA helps reduce cancer tumour incidences, fight inflammation, and reduce risks of cardiovascular diseases.
Grain-Fed Beef is still healthy, but not as healthy as Grass-Fed
It is important to keep in mind that conventional grain-fed beef is still healthy; it is just that by eating a natural diet and eating what it is built to eat, grass-fed cows are in general just or absolutely healthier for our bodies. Quick examples include grass-fed beef containing more Carotenoids, Vitamin E and minerals (potassium, iron, zinc and phosphorous).
Should I then Buy Grass-Fed Beef only?
Now the question that probably pops into your mind is should grass-fed beef be a staple in my Paleo diet grocery list and is it worth it. The answer to that question is yes, if your situation allows for it – that is if it is available in your area and that you can afford it. Like I have mentioned, conventional grain-fed beef is healthy by its own right (if you don't overcook it), so switching to grass-fed beef is really about looking at costs and availability for the extra health benefits.
Perhaps next time you shop for beef, you may consider purchasing the more expensive grass-fed beef and eat a lesser amount of beef overall to maintain your budget. This is what I do in my household when I splurge on expensive meats – I offset the increased costs by reducing the amount or frequency of consuming that meat – for a few days that week, we would go vegan, the Paleo Diet way.
Roasted Beef Tenderloin with Sauteed Wild Chanterelle Mushroom and Spinach over a bed of Coconut Cauliflower Puree; and topped with some baked Rutabaga chips (serves 4 people)
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients List:
- 2 pounds of grass-fed beef tenderloin
- ½ stalk cauliflower (cut up into pieces)
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ pound chanterelle mushrooms (roughly cut up)
- 1 stalk of organic spinach (cleaned well and roughly cut up)
- ¼ Rutabaga – peeled and sliced thinly (can use a mandoline or a food processor) (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic (roughly chopped up) Sea Salt and Pepper Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp of almond flour
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C
- Put cauliflower in hot boiling water and boil for 10 minutes
- Put an oven-ready skillet on the stove top at medium high heat
- Season the beef tenderloin with generous amounts sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil
- Once skillet is hot, pan-sear all sides of the tenderloin for about 2 minutes aside ensuring that the juices and flavors are captured and sealed.
- Once all sides are seared, put in the oven for about 10 minutes for medium-rare results. Cook 5 minutes longer if medium or medium well results desired.
- While tenderloin is in the oven, sauté individually the chanterelle mushrooms and spinach with garlic and olive oil.
- When time is up, take tenderloin out of the oven. Transfer to a slicing board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- For the sauce, heat the skillet, add 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and de-glazed the pan. Make sure all the bits and pieces from the skillet is picked up and mixed. Add almond flour. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- For the cauliflower puree, drain the cauliflower from the pot. While still hot, put the cooked cauliflower and coconut milk in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add some olive oil to get a thick consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Optional Rutabaga chips: Toss the rutabaga with olive oil. Sprinkle with some sea salt and the black pepper. Spread the rutabaga across a baking sheet so it fits in one layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes in 180°C oven (same as beef tenderloin), flipping the pieces every 10 minutes. They will curl and turn crispy. If the chips need more time, put them in for another 5 minutes and check again until they are at desired crispiness.

It is often a misconception that pregnancy and childbirth is the role and job of a mother. In reality, fathers play an important role. Pregnancy is a shared responsibility and an expectant father has plenty of work to do. It is the woman who carries the baby within her for nine months. But, fathers too have equal responsibilities and duties. An expectant father's role during pregnancy is no less important. Becoming a parent for the first time is an emotional experience.
For all those soon to be daddies, a joy is on your way. You might feel alienated at times and things could be challenging at times. So, here we present few things you must keep in mind and should do as soon as your wife announces about her pregnancy.
Don't Miss: We're Expanded by two Feet!!
Expectant Father's Role During Pregnancy
1. Take Care of Mum
It is crucial for you to be present with her and take care of your wife. An expectant dad must ensure that his wife eats healthy. It is the time she needs your support. Not just practical support, but emotional support as well. Support your partner and give her healthy food to eat. Take her to walks or do exercise together throughout the pregnancy (as per recommendations of the doctor). Accompany your wife on doctor's visits and all medical appointments.
2.Learn Parental Skills
You may join parental classes. These classes will guide you on how to be a good parent. Both, the expectant father and the mother must attend the classes as these will help in understanding how to look after a baby.
Read More: What is Mother-Toddler Program?
You must start reading books about pregnancy. This will give you an idea about the pregnancy-related issues and how to deal with them. Are you searching pregnancy reveal ideas, check these cute pregnancy announcements ways?
3.Participate in Household Chores
All the daddies to be must help their wife. Your wife is undergoing a transformational process. Pregnancy is a shared responsibility and it is your duty to take care of both the child and the wife. You must help your wife and do the vital household chores and let her rest.
The most important thing, "Keep your work aside." Make time for your baby and wife. They need your support and love.
4. Make a Birth Plan
Planning is always a must. It must be based on the felt needs. You must start planning ahead of pregnancy. Create a proper birth plan with your partner and also decide in advance where you want to have the baby.
5. Work Together
Adjust and understand your responsibilities. After pregnancy, some women may feel certain physical changes in their body. To avoid these strains, you must accompany and help her more before the baby's birth.
Image Source: Google
And also be prepared to play your role well after a baby's birth. Be her partner. In the early days, breastfeeding can last for several hours. Don't leave your partner alone at that crucial time. Be there, accompany her, and bring her snacks and drinks. Ensure that your partner too is getting an adequate amount of sleep.
Learn these things and enjoy your role as a father.
Thanks for stopping by and Reading!

808 Wilshire Blvd. #100
Santa Monica, CA 90401
Price: $$
By SARAH SHMERLING | Managing Editor
On the Westside, there may not be a shortage of options for where to get fresh fish, but what about fresh fish plus casual dining, quick service—and validated parking?
All of this is what Spinfish Poke House's Santa Monica location serves up daily.
Entering the restaurant, everything looks and feels clean—definitely an attribute to look for when you're about to eat raw fish.
Located in the bottom floor of an office building, a large, floor-to-ceiling window allows ample natural lighting—the perfect place to grab a bite on a lunch break or on the way home from work.
There are currently four Spinfish shops open—Pasadena, Little Toyko, La Cañada and Santa Monica, which opened in June 2016.
If you've dined at a poke place, you know that many of them are laid out similar to a Chipotle or Subway. You start at one end, adding ingredients as you make your way toward the end.
One of the most notable things about Spinfish's menu is the number of choices. There are nine Signature Bowls to choose from—or you can craft your own. Either option is fully customizable, with choices for protein (ahi tuna, salmon, albacore, Hamachi, spicy tuna, shrimp, scallop or tofu) and base (white rice, brown rice, noodles, mixed greens or chips).
Russell Mansjur, who works in marketing for Spinfish, explained that the Aloha 808, Shaka and Banzai bowls are some of the location's most popular choices.
The first thing we sampled was a mix of the Aloha 808—which features sesame shoyu, ogo, Hawaiian sea salt, chili flake, and green and sweet onion—and the Shaka, sriracha aioli, masago, panko and green onion. We opted for the white rice base, with salmon as the fish.
The freshness of the fish shined through, and the mix of toppings added crunch and flavor. The combination of the sauces, fish and toppings blended well—nothing was overpowering and it all balanced together. The rice was fresh and soft, with a good, sushi-rice flavor.
The second bowl we opted for was a combination of the Sweet Heat and Shaka bowls. Sweet Heat packed a small punch—with sweet chili sauce, masago, crispy onion and green and sweet onion—but managed to not overpower the salmon and tuna we selected for this bowl.
Other options on the Signature Bowl menu include the Choco Loco (chili-lime, citrus zest, coconut flakes, cilantro, cucumber and sweet onion) and the So Fraiche (wasabi crème, cilantro, citrus zest, panko and sweet onion).
If you're interested in concocting your own creation, Spinfish offers a choice of 10 sauces, including ponzu, wasabi shoyu and pineapple-mango salsa, and 19 toppings—ranging from lemon zest to minced garlic and edamame.
Top the bowl off with krab salad or seaweed salad, or try the Spinfish guacamole for an additional $2.25.
Not feeling a poke bowl? Spinfish also serves Spinfish Nachos, with spicy tuna, guacamole, crab meat, seaweed salad, sweet shoyu, sriracha aioli, furikake dry topping and crispy onions.
We finished off our meal with Milk Tea, which was light and refreshing—a nice complement to our bowls.
Spinfish has gluten-free and soy-free options as well, so every diner can satisfy their sushi craving.

Mysuru: The enthusiastic women were through with just four idlis while the men could gobble a plate full of uppitu in just 54 seconds!
The event was an eating contest for men and women organised as part of Dasara Aahara Mela at Scouts and Guides Ground here yesterday.
Totally, 21 men and women had registered for the contest and a tiny-tot picked up 10 contestants in each category.
The idli-eating contest commenced first with Shwetha Urs coming first with four idlis followed by M.S. Mahalakshmi in second place with three idlis and Rajashri coming third with two plus idlis. In the uppittu-eating contest, Kaushik from Srirangapatna stood first followed by Suresh of Kuvempunagar and Balakrishna of Jayalakshmipuram in second and third places respectively.
Dr. K. Rameshwarappa, Deputy Director, Food and Civil Supplies, distributed the certificates to the winners. District Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa paid a surprise visit to Aahara Mela last evening and sought the opinions of the visitors. Later he tried his hand on cooking by spreading Dosa batter on a hot tawa.

The Cardinals played a close back-and-forth game against the Redskins, but due to 9 unanswered points to end the game, the Cardinals 8-point lead turned into a 1-point loss. In spite of the loss, we must note that Wells, Kolb, and of course, Fitzgerald did have great games. The Cardinals are now at 1-1, and to lose a close game like this in a division where one win will likely make the difference of who represents the NFC West and who doesn't at the end of the season, this loss is truly heart-breaking. However, the show must go on, and the Cardinals need to develop the killer instinct to close out games like this and not let teams back into games when they have the opportunity to go for the jugular. But let's move on and get ready for a Cardinals @ Seahawks matchup next week.
As we mentioned, the Cardinals will travel to Seattle this upcoming Sunday to take on the Seahawks in a key divsional game. Keep checking Cardinals 360 for all the information you will need regarding the game.

Mack puts drivers first with new Anthem model
There are many things that fleets do to attract drivers, and certainly plenty of options that drivers look for when choosing a fleet. When Mack Trucks was designing its new Anthem highway tractor – it's first new on-highway model since the introduction of the Pinnacle in 2005 – it turned to drivers.
It costs close to $7,000 to recruit, train and onboard a driver, said Roy Horton, director of product strategy, and with an existing driver shortage and driver turnover rates above 75% as a result, retaining drivers is "more and more important than it has ever been for our customers," he said.
Fleets will like the efficient powertrain – up to 3% increase in fuel efficiency over a Pinnacle model with a GHG17 Mack MP engine – and the connectivity, including Mack's GuardDog and Mack Connect solutions, that will speed repairs and boost uptime. But they will also like the driver comfort touches Mack has included as ways to both entice new drivers and retain current ones.
Stu Russoli, highway product manager, detailed the process Mack followed in designing its truck during a press briefing on Thursday at the Mack Customer Center. Russoli said Mack visited drivers in truck stops, surveying them on what they liked and didn't like about their current trucks regardless of make, and touring the inside of those trucks to see how drivers set up the interior for life on the road.
The result is a bevy of interior options.
Start with things like the all-in-one roof, creating a solid, leak-proof sleeper. Mack has also eliminated the window in the sleeper roof, citing driver feedback that found they didn't like to have to cover all the windows for a good night's sleep. There are two side windows with screens to allow air to flow in but not rain, and they also include aircraft-style built-in shades to completely seal out light.
The 70-inch sleeper itself provides 12 inches of additional headroom (6-foot, 11-inch height) above the driver's seat, allowing drivers well over 6-feet tall to easily stand up and walk to the back of the sleeper, which has an interior roof height of 7 feet, 11 inches.
Russoli said the Anthem's exterior certainly represents Mack – bold and strong – and may attract a driver initially, but interior touches will also keep those drivers.
For instance, the new dash moves common controls within easy reach of the driver. "It's much safer for the driver who doesn't have to reach around," he said.
Taking a cue from racing, the steering wheel features a flat bottom that is "real sporty, it's really nice, but [functionally] it offers more belly room," Russoli said, which makes getting in and out of the truck easier. The steering wheel also features automotive-style controls with phone and cruise control on the left-hand side. Russoli said adding cruise was a request many fleets made, hoping that drivers would be more likely to use it if it was easy to reach.
Rocker switches are now laser etched, which doesn't seem like a significant change, but one that Russoli said was needed so the switches remained readable as they wear. "If you only buy used trucks, your impression of our brand is of that used truck," Russoli noted. "We want that truck in its second life to have (the same brand experience)."
Mack is offering Sears Seating in the vehicle, with 30 different combinations of styles and fabrics. There are vinyl, cloth and ultra-leather options.
From an interior lighting standpoint, just like the exterior lighting, all lights are LED. There are six dome lamps, pipe lighting, task and reading lamps, red wash lighting, and red ambient floor lighting, all dimmable.
To help drivers with pre-trip inspections, there is a Pre-Trip assistant that is part of the optional 7-inch infotainment package. The Pre-Trip assistant provides a checklist of tasks and will also turn on all exterior lighting – including brakes – so drivers can easily walk around the vehicle and ensure all lights are working.
The infotainment package interfaces with the steering wheel buttons and includes satellite and weather band radio, TomTom navigation, Apple CarPlay and optional backup camera. An optional D-panel offers four optional auxiliary gauges (if the D-panel is not installed, that space becomes storage and the gauges are included in the standard 5 in. Mack Co-Pilot display).
The 70-inch sleeper is available with either a single or double bunk, and depending on how the sleeper is spec'd, up to 27 cubic feet of space – or enough room to place approximately 18,000 golf balls inside the cab.
There are overhead cabinets above the driver and passenger seats in the 70-inch sleeper along with optional side storage spaces above the doors that are 10 inches deep. Three under-bunk bins – accessible by lifting the bunk – are also available as is standard under bunk storage.
Other options include cabinets that include a pullout work surface, wardrobe space, shelving, TV prep kit, refrigerator and microwave hookups.
The sleeper control panel includes controls for heating and air conditioning, USB outlets, stereo control, and lighting controls. There is a phone charging system on the dash, as well, that allows drivers to plug in their phones.

Vampires have existed in fiction for well over a hundred years now, stretching back to John Palidori's The Vampyre, published in 1819. In all that time, they've morphed into tragic heroes, romantic lovers, and even managed to…sparkle?
No. Real vampires are supposed to be scary. They stalk you in the dead of night, their bite draining you of blood and transforming you into one of them, doomed to wander in search of people to feed on yourself. That means stories like Nosferatu, Dracula, and Stephen King's masterpiece, Salem's Lot.
Only King's second novel, Salem's Lot is his take on the story of Dracula and vampires, introducing them to the new world through the small town of Jerusalem's Lot, Maine. The story is focused on Ben Mears, who returns to Jerusalem's Lot years after leaving as a child to write a book about the abandoned mansion call the Marsten House. Arriving at the same time is an Austrian immigrant by the name of Kurt Barlow. Not long after, people start disappearing, then reappearing in the dark depths of the night, thirsting for the blood of their family, friends, and community members. It falls on Ben, Susan Norton, a college grad, Father Callahan, and a young boy by the name of Mark Petrie to discover the source of the evil and battle it.
Salem's Lot isn't just my favorite. The year after it was released, in 1976, it was nominated for the World Fantasy Best Novel award. Stephen King even said himself in an interview with Playboy in 1983 that it was his favorite. (In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2014, though, his answer changed to Lisey's Story.) It also regularly breaches the top five in lists of King's best works, and has over 80,000 five star reviews on the book review site Goodreads.com.
This is more than just a horror novel about vampires. It's a time capsule of classic Americana, at least before the vampires overrun the town, and an example of a book which is nearly perfect on all the cylinders of plot, characterization, and description. It's an example of some of the best that writing can be and a book that anyone with any interest at all in horror or vampires should read.
If you disagree, I hope little Danny Glick comes tapping on your window in the dark of night. He'll be able to convince you far better than I.

Woolies gears up for Christmas
Supermarket giant, Woolworths, has launched its 2015 Christmas campaign, inclusive of a series of television ads that showcase Australians enjoying Christmas at home.
The TV commercials, entitled 'Make it Famous' feature six Australian families serving up the Christmas dishes that have made them famous with their family and friends.
Andrew Hicks, director of marketing-supermarkets, Woolworths Ltd, said the authenticity of featuring non-scripted interaction between families was the hallmark of a successful and relatable campaign.
"Christmas for Australians is about joining together and sharing the love of great food. Every family has a tradition and is famous for something, whether it's your glazed ham, BBQ prawns or taking a nap after lunch. This year we spent time with families and friends famous for making Christmas special in their own way.
"Our families aren't actors, they're real people with real dishes and some really interesting and endearing Christmas stories, rich in family values and tradition. Nothing was scripted. We captured them in their homes as they all made their very own famous recipes," he added.
The TV campaign will be followed up by a series of commercials featuring celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver, and is set to run for six weeks.

When it comes to blood pressure, hypotension is associated with poor outcomes for patients, how do we react to this? How do we manage and avoid hypotension where possible?

How can teaching in this area help to save lives? Should you consider a 'geriatric intensive care unit'?

Presented by Brian Marsh, Anaesthesia, Critical Care Medicine, Extracorporeal Life...info_outline DINGLE 2019 | The opportunity in variability
"Perioperative medicine is an opportunity; it's multidisciplinary and its developing around a culture of trust between anaesthetists, surgeons and perioperative physicians" The future of perioperative medicine embraces the full scope of medical advancement and is therefore difficult to predict, as a result truly informed shared decision making is both crucial and more complex. Variability of practice is a key factor; usually caused by the overuse or underuse of a facility and its resources. The former being a particular problem in America with the financial incentives associated with some...info_outline EBPOM 2019 | Troponin Screening - essential?
This piece argues that troponin screening is useful, if used appropriately. Is it the case that this test has been 'over sold' and as a result has provoked unhelpful pushback from practitioners?

Hypnotherapy for weight loss
Have you ever been on a diet only to put weight back on afterwards?
Do you ever wonder why you end up snacking or binging when you consciously know you don't want to?
Do you struggle with portion sizes, motivation for exercise, or saying 'no' to treats?
This course may be for you. With a full assessment of your eating habits, followed by six sessions, this course is designed to give you the best possible chance of changing your eating behaviours and habits which usually then lead to weight loss.
As hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious, it is an ideal method to combat unhealthy eating habits. It would be unethical for me to promise a certain amount of weight loss or a success rate, as everyone has a different reason for both gaining and wanting to lose weight.
Instead of focusing on what you eat, hypnotherapy can help to break the patterns of behaviour that lead to over-eating. Unlike many diets out there, weight loss through hypnotherapy does not forbid any food. We work with the subconscious to encourage better eating habits and get rid of unwanted food cravings. By encouraging healthy eating and a better lifestyle, weight loss usually follows.
The hypnotherapy for weight loss course is designed to work with your own personality. If you are a person who hates being told what to do, then you are unlikely to respond well to a diet forbidding you from eating your favourite foods. If you see food as a source of fun, it is important to continue that in any weight loss programme.
What you will get;
- full personality assessment and assessment of eating habits
- one to one therapy - this is not a group session
- six x 60-75 minute sessions including hypnotherapy
- handouts and worksheets, where appropriate
- CDs or mp3 recordings for home use
- telephone/email support between sessions
- reduced rate on follow up sessions if required
- start whenever you want
Usual price (if paying per session): over £500 - only £395 for this course.
Contact John on 07407 193 395 or 01756 761 604.
Hosted by John Taylor
John runs a busy practice based in Skipton and Northallerton providing hypnotherapy and psychotherapy for a wide range of conditions. With over 5 years as a therapist he has a wide range of experience in many techniques and situations.

Beautiful location. Friendly and responsive staff. Wine and food pairings offered and were bang-on. Restaurant was busy yet we were not rushed out at all. Food prices were slightly higher than anticipated though it was high quality food, generously portioned. All in all a lovely meal.
It was amazing!! Highly recommend this fresh experience.
I've been before and like restaurant. This time tried their famous burger and fries. Did not disappoint. Portions are good but small compared to many places but this is not a bad thing. Too often there is an obscene amount of food which people eat just to finish. This was a nice size with lots of fries. Really enjoyed.
Disappointed with flavours at Planta. Maybe we didn't get the best dishes but the food felt rushed and very oily, salad was soaked in dressing. Cocktails mega sweet. Waitress forgot one of the dishes. Planta is riding the wave but hopefully better options will come to the city.
Disappointed in the food
Was really looking forward to eating there as I had heard great things but never eaten there before.
Had the Sag Paneer, watery, disappointed
Had the lasagna. More noodles than eggplant
This is my favorite place in a whole GTA. Ambient is just lovely, young friendly staff, and food is just awesome!
Please try EVERYTHING on the menu!
Everything was wonderful, totally worth the price! Don't bother with the giant chocolate chip cookie though, it's forgettable
The hostesses could be more welcoming at the door as I asked them how they were doing and they were kind of off-putted by me asking how they were. Overall the servers that helped my table were super welcoming and were patient also help suggest menu items.
The food was terrific, and despite the price I think it was worth the quantity and quality of the food!
Made reservations and still waited half hour to be seated at a small high top table as a party of four. The party of three right after us were seated at a empty larger table for five. Did not like the disorganization. Food presentation and taste were good but not amazing. Some dishes were very bland. Expected more.
Everything was wonderful except the portions were very small. We had to eat again when we got home. 2 hours later. That's with appetizers, and dessert.
Fresh, good quality, well presented food. Beautiful decorated restaurant. Nice staff. Waiting time to drinks and starters too lo g (>20 min).
Server was excellent and food was even better
Love this place!!!
The food here was some of the best vegan food in Toronto, and a must try even if you're not vegan and are just looking for a fresh take on veg. Restaurant is bright, decor is trendy and casual, and the waiter we had was wonderful—very attentive and conversational yet professional.
Terrible service. 3x I have dined here, and consistently poor service. Multiple people swarming around, posing and none of whom pay attention to diners.
Waiters dictate to the diners what they should order rather than listening. Awful.
Planta's friendly and professional front of the house staff together with the talented back of the house always make our dining experience a perfect one!! Thank you!
Ive had lunch there twice with friends all was great!
I would not. I found the food very disappointing, one dish was inedible. We actually sent it back. The other dish was just not very tasty.
We eat a plant based diet so coming here was a must. Everything we had was great. We ordered a salad that contained cilantro and didn't enjoy it. Our waiter Michal replaced it for us with one he enjoys and it was perfect. He also spent time with us to point out everything that was or could be made gluten free.
Our servers were excellent as was the food and ambience.
While we had to wait for our reserved seat in a drafty entranceway the food and service once seated made up for this situation. No explanation was given.
The valentines menu was a little limited, service was great!
Terrible experience, food and service was awful and overpriced.
Lovely dinner on Valentines. Staff was very attentive and friendly
Valentine's Day date - amazing!
The food was delicious! The planta burger lives up to the hype and was well worth the enthusiasm. Servers were incredibly attentive and kind, even though it was incredibly busy, our food and drinks arrived in a very timely manner.

Partners with SIPX, Study.net and XanEdu to Make Securing Permission to Reuse Copyrighted Content in Massive Open Online Courses Effortless
Danvers, Mass. – Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a global licensing and content solutions organization, has launched a MOOC Content Licensing Solution in partnership with course material providers SIPX, Study.net, and XanEdu. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are large virtual classrooms that are accessed online by students worldwide and that are often sponsored by leading institutions of higher education.
The MOOC Content Licensing Solution uses the current per-page or per-article academic-based pricing rightsholders have established through CCC's Electronic Course Content pay-per-use service. CCC offers digital rights from over 5,000 rightsholders around the world to public, private not-for-profit, and private for-profit U.S.-based institutions of higher education that conduct academic MOOCs.
One of the biggest challenges in reusing published content in MOOCs is obtaining copyright permissions and then disseminating the licensed content to enrolled students. Through its partnership with leading course materials providers, CCC's solution provides copyright-cleared course content to students enrolled in a MOOC, relieving the instructor of the burden of securing permissions and distributing content.
"This solution makes it easy for instructors at academic institutions to secure permission to reuse copyrighted content in their MOOCs," said Tim Bowen, CCC's Director, Academic Products & Services. "It also makes it simpler for students to secure the licensed content at academic-based pricing from rightsholders."
"We see a growing interest from educators in using portions of copyrighted works – such as book excerpts, journal content and magazine articles – to enhance their online courses, many of which SIPX has supported in the past 18 months," said Heather Ruland Staines, Vice President, Publishers Development, SIPX, Inc. "This new capability on the CCC platform will help us support online education even more efficiently in the future."
