many of today's most valuable firms have come to realize that analyzing and improving individual workers — a practice known as ''employee performance optimization'' — isn't enough. As commerce becomes increasingly global and complex, the bulk of modern work is more and more team-based.
teams are now the fundamental unit of organization.

there was nothing showing that a mix of specific personality types or skills or backgrounds made any difference. The 'who' part of the equation didn't seem to matter.''
At Google, we're good at finding patterns,''
As they struggled to figure out what made a team successful, Rozovsky and her colleagues kept coming across research by psychologists and sociologists that focused on what are known as ''group norms.''
Norms are the traditions, behavioral standards and unwritten rules that govern how we function when we gather
Norms can be unspoken or openly acknowledged, but their influence is often profound.
looked for instances when team members described a particular behavior as an ''unwritten rule'' or when they explained certain things as part of the ''team's culture.''
After looking at over a hundred groups for more than a year, Project Aristotle researchers concluded that understanding and influencing group norms were the keys to improving Google's teams.
The researchers eventually concluded that what distinguished the ''good'' teams from the dysfunctional groups was how teammates treated one another. The right norms, in other words, could raise a group's collective intelligence, whereas the wrong norms could hobble a team, even if, individually, all the members were exceptionally bright.
As the researchers studied the groups, however, they noticed two behaviors that all the good teams generally shared. First, on the good teams, members spoke in roughly the same proportion, a phenomenon the researchers referred to as ''equality in distribution of conversational turn-taking.''
Second, the good teams all had high ''average social sensitivity'' — a fancy way of saying they were skilled at intuiting how others felt based on their tone of voice, their expressions and other nonverbal cues.
psychological safety — a group culture that the Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson defines as a ''shared belief held by members of a team that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking.''
Psychological safety is ''a sense of confidence that the team will not embarrass, reject or punish someone for speaking up,''
''It describes a team climate characterized by interpersonal trust and mutual respect in which people are comfortable being themselves.''
Rozovsky's study group at Yale was draining because the norms — the fights over leadership, the tendency to critique — put her on guard. Whereas the norms of her case-competition team — enthusiasm for one another's ideas, joking around and having fun — allowed everyone to feel relaxed and energized.
other behaviors that seemed important as well — like making sure teams had clear goals and creating a culture of dependability.
it made sense that psychological safety and emotional conversations were related.
The behaviors that create psychological safety — conversational turn-taking and empathy — are part of the same unwritten rules we often turn to, as individuals, when we need to establish a bond.
If I can't be open and honest at work, then I'm not really living, am I?''
to be fully present at work, to feel ''psychologically safe,'' we must know that we can be free enough, sometimes, to share the things that scare us without fear of recriminations. We must be able to talk about what is messy or sad, to have hard conversations with colleagues who are driving us crazy. We can't be focused just on efficiency.
By adopting the data-driven approach of Silicon Valley, Project Aristotle has encouraged emotional conversations and discussions of norms among people who might otherwise be uncomfortable talking about how they feel.
In the best teams, members listen to one another and show sensitivity to feelings and needs.
'Just having data that proves to people that these things are worth paying attention to sometimes is the most important step in getting them to actually pay attention,'' Rozovsky told me. ''Don't underestimate the power of giving people a common platform and operating language.''

"executive function," the ability to self-regulate, the measurement of which turns out to be a better indicator of success in school than the results of an IQ test. Kids with good self-regulation skills are better able to control their emotions, resist impulsive behavior, and become self-disciplined and self-controlled.
how do we reconcile today's anxious parents and the highly structured environment with our children's need for unstructured, self-regulated play?

"An important piece of the story is that it's not just about making the life of a teenager easier by saying maybe we can make classes later," said Benjamin Smarr, a postdoctoral psychologist at the University of California at Berkeley who studies circadian rhythm disruptions and learning.
As it turned out, taking a class schedule mismatched to your biological clock took a toll on students' grades, as the chart below shows.
Early-rising "larks" had a grade advantage in morning classes, they found. Night owls performed better in afternoon and early evening classes, but the researchers also found these students tended to struggle more than those with earlier circadian rhythms in general. The researchers believe this was because their schedules were the farthest off "normal" class schedules, and the actual class times often varied significantly from day to day, making it difficult for these students to develop any consistency.

Most high schools don't really have the option to make multiple sessions of the same class at different times, but Smarr said for those who use software that can track the timing of students' activity, it may be worth getting a sense of when different groups of students are likely to be most alert when scheduling core classes. Other forms of technology may also help, he said, allowing students to access classes or rewatch lectures at different times of the day.

The brain is equipped to tackle a pretty hefty load of information and sensory input, but there is a point at which the brain becomes overwhelmed, an effect scientists call cognitive overload. While our brains do appreciate new and novel information (as we'll discuss later), when there is too much of it we become overwhelmed. Our minds simply can't divide our attention between all the different elements.
the brain's wiring can change at any age and it can grow new neurons and adapt to new situations — though the rate at which this happens does slow with age. This phenomenon is called neuroplasticity, and it has had major ramifications in our understanding of how the brain works and how we can use that understanding to improve learning outcomes.
The ability to learn, retain, and use information isn't just based on our raw IQ. Over the past few decades it has become increasingly clear that how we feel — our overall emotional state — can have a major impact on how well we can learn new things.
Research is revealing why, as the emotional part of the brain, the limbic system has the ability to open up or shut off access to learning and memory. When under stress or anxiety, the brain blocks access to higher processing and stops forming new connections, making it difficult or impossible to learn.
research shows that failure is essential.
Information in the brain that isn't used is often lost, as neural pathways weaken over time.
Researchers have found that novelty causes the dopamine system in the brain to become activated, sending the chemical throughout the brain.
Neuroscience research suggests that the best way to learn something new isn't to focus on mistakes, but instead to concentrate on how to do a task correctly. Focusing on the error only reinforces the existing incorrect neural pathway, and will increase the chance that the mistake will be made again. A new pathway has to be built, which means abandoning the old one and letting go of that mistake.
cater to the emotional and social needs of students and improves their ability to learn, is more important than styles
Students may have preferences for how they learn, but when put to the test, students were found to have equivalent levels of learning regardless of how information is presented.
students who don't get intellectual stimulation over the summer are much more likely to forget important skills in reading and math when they return to class.
Peer collaboration offers students access to a diverse array of experiences and requires the use of nearly all the body's senses, which in turn creates greater activation throughout the brain and enhances long-term memory. Group work, especially when it capitalizes on the strengths of its members, may be more beneficial than many realize.
Aside from being able to see and hear patterns, the human mind has a number of innate abilities (the ability to learn a language, for instance) that when capitalized on in the right way, can help make learning any concept, even one that is abstract, much easier. Combining these innate abilities with structured practice, repetition, and training can help make new ideas and concepts "stick" and make more sense.
Learning can change brain structure.

Let 'Em Out! The Many Benefits of Outdoor Play In Kindergarten | MindShift | KQED News - 0 views

#LiquidNetworkSpill MindShift play kindergarten executive function blog article child development outdoors learning
With no explicit math or literacy taught until first grade, the Swiss have no set goals for kindergartners beyond a few measurements, like using scissors and writing one's own name. They instead have chosen to focus on the social interaction and emotional well-being found in free play.
With many parents and educators overwhelmed by the amount of academics required for kindergartners — and the testing requirements at that age  — it's no surprise that the forest kindergarten, and the passion for bringing more free play to young children during the school day, is catching on stateside.
"So much of what is going on and the kind of play they do, symbolic play, is really pre-reading," Molomot said. "It's a very important foundation for reading.
Donnery notices that the gross motor skills of many of her kindergartners are underdeveloped, noting that usually means that fine motor skills are also lacking. "Developing those gross motor skills is just critical, can impact so much of later learning," she said.
Scenes of rosy-faced children building forts in the snow are presented in sharp contrast to the academic (and mostly indoor) kindergarten in New Haven, Connecticut, where a normal day is packed full of orderly activities: morning meeting, readers' workshop, writers' workshop, a special activity (like art, gym, and music), lunch and recess, storytime, "choice" (a fancy word for play), math centers, then closing meeting.
I would like to see this movie.
You'd be surprised at the importance of play.
lacking in the attention needed to learn, with more than 10 percent of the school population diagnosed with some kind of attention disorder.
occupational therapist Angela Hanscom opined in the Washington Post that there's good reason our kids are so fidgety: more and more students come to class without having enough core strength and balance to hold their bodies still long enough to learn.
"In order for children to learn, they need to be able to pay attention. In order to pay attention, we need to let them move."
But this has to be more than just a wiggle stool or yoga ball... HMW get greater movement into Kindergarten? (and it need not just be in the Kindergarten classroom)
A recent study by psychologists at the University of Colorado shows an even stronger reason for free play: children who experienced more undirected free play showed signs of stronger executive function, a strong predictor of success in school. "The more time that children spent in less-structured activities," wrote researchers, "the better their self-directed executive functioning."
Reading and recess are important enough that we need to do both.
While this kind of adult-led movement is a far cry from the nearly unstructured free play of a forest kindergarten, it does serve the school's purpose of high academic standards for their kindergartners, in hopes this prepares them for future academic success.
Note that it says "hope"...

Why Curiosity Matters - 1 views

And socially curious employees are better than others at resolving conflicts with colleagues, more likely to receive social support, and more effective at building connections, trust, and commitment on their teams. People or groups high in both dimensions are more innovative and creative.
joyous exploration, deprivation sensitivity, stress tolerance, and social curiosity—improve work outcomes.
joyous exploration has the strongest link with the experience of intense positive emotions. Stress tolerance has the strongest link with satisfying the need to feel competent, autonomous, and that one belongs. Social curiosity has the strongest link with being a kind, generous, modest person.
deprivation sensitivity—recognizing a gap in knowledge the filling of which offers relief. This type of curiosity doesn't necessarily feel good, but people who experience it work relentlessly to solve problems.
joyous exploration—being consumed with wonder about the fascinating features of the world. This is a pleasurable state; people in it seem to possess a joie de vivre.
social curiosity—talking, listening, and observing others to learn what they are thinking and doing. Human beings are inherently social animals, and the most effective and efficient way to determine whether someone is friend or foe is to gain information. Some may even snoop, eavesdrop, or gossip to do so.
stress tolerance—a willingness to accept and even harness the anxiety associated with novelty. People lacking this ability see information gaps, experience wonder, and are interested in others but are unlikely to step forward and explore.
thrill seeking—being willing to take physical, social, and financial risks to acquire varied, complex, and intense experiences. For people with this capacity, the anxiety of confronting novelty is something to be amplified, not reduced.
we all seek the sweet spot between two deeply uncomfortable states: understimulation (coping with tasks, people, or situations that lack sufficient novelty, complexity, uncertainty, or conflict) and overstimulation.
people become curious upon realizing that they lack desired knowledge; this creates an aversive feeling of uncertainty, which compels them to uncover the missing information.
nstead of asking, "How curious are you?" we can ask, "How are you curious?"
But maintaining a sense of wonder is crucial to creativity and innovation. The most effective leaders look for ways to nurture their employees' curiosity to fuel learning and discovery.
How can organizations help people make the leap from curious to competent?
by providing the right types of stretch assignments and job rotations.
complexity and breadth of the opportunities they'd been given,
It enhances intelligence
It increases perseverance, or grit
And curiosity propels us toward deeper engagement, superior performance, and more-meaningful goals
The ProblemLeaders say they value employees who question or explore things, but research shows that they largely suppress curiosity, out of fear that it will increase risk and undermine efficiency.Why This MattersCuriosity improves engagement and collaboration. Curious people make better choices, improve their company's performance, and help their company adapt to uncertain market conditions and external pressures.The RemedyLeaders should encourage curiosity in themselves and others by making small changes to the design of their organization and the ways they manage their employees. Five strategies can guide them.
leaders can encourage curiosity
when our curiosity is triggered, we are less likely to fall prey to confirmation bias (looking for information that supports our beliefs rather than for evidence suggesting we are wrong) and to stereotyping people (making broad judgments, such as that women or minorities don't make good leaders). Curiosity has these positive effects because it leads us to generate alternatives.
My own research confirms that encouraging people to be curious generates workplace improvements.
What is one topic or activity you are curious about today? What is one thing you usually take for granted that you want to ask about? Please make sure you ask a few 'Why questions' as you engage in your work throughout the day. Please set aside a few minutes to identify how you'll approach your work today with these questions in mind."
"What is one topic or activity you'll engage in today? What is one thing you usually work on or do that you'll also complete today? Please make sure you think about this as you engage in your work throughout the day. Please set aside a few minutes to identify how you'll approach your work today with these questions in mind."
When we are curious, we view tough situations more creatively. Studies have found that curiosity is associated with less defensive reactions to stress and less aggressive reactions to provocation.
curiosity encourages members of a group to put themselves in one another's shoes and take an interest in one another's ideas rather than focus only on their own perspective. That causes them to work together more effectively and smoothly: Conflicts are less heated, and groups achieve better results.
he groups whose curiosity had been heightened performed better than the control groups because they shared information more openly and listened more carefully.
Hire for curiosity.
"Have you ever found yourself unable to stop learning something you've never encountered before? Why? What kept you persistent?"
most people perform at their best not because they're specialists but because their deep skill is accompanied by an intellectual curiosity that leads them to ask questions, explore, and collaborate.
"What is the one thing I should do to make things better for you?"
hen we demonstrate curiosity about others by asking questions, people like us more and view us as more competent, and the heightened trust makes our relationships more interesting and intimate.
But focusing on learning is generally more beneficial to us and our organizations,
A body of research demonstrates that framing work around learning goals (developing competence, acquiring skills, mastering new situations, and so on) rather than performance goals (hitting targets, proving our competence, impressing others) boosts motivation. And when motivated by learning goals, we acquire more-diverse skills, do better at work, get higher grades in college, do better on problem-solving tasks, and receive higher ratings after training. Unfortunately, organizations often prioritize performance goals.
rewarding people not only for their performance but for the learning needed to get there.
Leaders can also stress the value of learning by reacting positively to ideas that may be mediocre in themselves but could be springboards to better ones.
Organizations can foster curiosity by giving employees time and resources to explore their interests.
Employees can also broaden their interests by broadening their networks. Curious people often end up being star performers thanks to their diverse networks,
Leaders can also boost employees' curiosity by carefully designing their teams.
What if…?" and "How might we…?"
To encourage curiosity, leaders should also teach employees how to ask good questions.
Organizing "Why?" days, when employees are encouraged to ask that question if facing a challenge, can go a long way toward fostering curiosity.

a student's grade could be more reflective of the teacher's approach to grading than the student's academic performance.
because many of the teachers' grading practices rewarded or punished students for every assignment, activity, and behavior in the classroom, students often were less willing to take risks and make mistakes, and cared less about learning
But Previna didn't blame the teachers. After all, none of them—herself included—had ever received any training or support with how to grade
She started by sharing a few articles about the weaknesses of common grading practices with the entire middle school faculty
Then she invited all faculty to research, examine, and imagine ways to align grading to their vision for progressive and equitable education
first learned how many common grading practices were created during the Industrial Revolution and are based on century-old beliefs about teaching, learning, and human potential that have long since been debunked. By continuing to use these practices, we contradict our current understanding about effective teaching and learning
After studying the research about grading and learning about research-supported grading practices that are more accurate, more bias-resistant, and develop intrinsic motivation in students, the pilot group of middle school faculty members was excited to start using them. These more equitable practices included using alternatives to the 0–100 scale, not including behavior in the grade, ending extra credit, using rubrics, and developing a culture of retakes and redos
Students were less stressed, and classroom environments felt more relaxed and supportive of learning.
Grade inflation decreased
Grades are more accurate and less biased
Students' motivation increased
Changes to grading practices leverage other aspects of programmatic reimagining

For elementary-aged children, research suggests that studying in class gets superior learning results, while extra schoolwork at home is just . . . extra work
By the time kids reach high school, homework provides academic benefit, but only in moderation.
Homework supporters say homework teaches responsibility, reinforces lessons taught in school, and creates a home-school link with parents. However, involved parents can see what's coming home in a child's backpack and initiate sharing about school work–they don't need to monitor their child's progress with assigned homework.
What works better than traditional homework at the elementary level is simply reading at home.

How Do You Teach to the Standards When Doing Project-Based Learning? - 4 views

PBL learning standards
People often debate about whether we should be process-driven or product-driven in project-based learning. But I think there's a third option. We can be learning-driven. In other words, we should start with the question, "What do we want students to learn?" and let that drive the process and the product.
PBL is not a license to ditch the standards or take a break from real learning.
#1: Inquiry-DrivenInquiry-driven PBL begins with a state of curiosity and wonder. It might be as simple as the sentence stem "I wonder why _________" or "I wonder how _________." Students then have the opportunity to research, ideate, and create.
#4: Problem-DrivenProblem-driven PBL begins with a specific problem or challenge that students must solve. An example is our maker challenges that present a specific scenario that leads students into research, problem-solving, ideation, and a final product that solves the initial challenge.
#3: Product-DrivenPBL experts often say, "Students should focus on the process and not the product." But there's also a time and a place for projects that challenge students to focus on developing a quality product. In these projects, the product has tighter parameters but the process is more flexible.
#2: Interest-DrivenAnother approach is the interest-driven PBL process.
#5: Empathy-Driven (Design Thinking)Empathy-driven PBL can have elements of the previous four PBL approaches.

Six Fixes for Proficiency-Based Learning « Competency Works - 0 views
www.competencyworks.org/...for-proficiency-based-learning
assessment competency CompetencyBased transformation standards learning
Proficiency-based learning, at its core, is about redesigning the learning and teaching system of America. Instead of basing learning on how much time a student spends, it bases learning on what students can demonstrate—exactly the same as every other system students will encounter in the world outside of school.
In addition, schools should continue to share information pertaining to course grades and start to share information regarding student attainment of specific standards, including course-crossing skills such as problem solving, creativity, and analysis. While we would recommend that the course grades continue to use A-F or 0-100 scales, shifting to a 1-4 scale on the standards probably provides better insight for everyone involved. In this way, parents, students, and educators will know how students are doing within the structures of a class and how students are doing in regard to specific standards. This both/and approach will provide more information that can then be used to promote better learning.
Keep cohorts of kids together as they progress through their learning. Teachers can vary the learning strategies for various cohorts of students, supporting some students to dig deeper into various standards while others realize initial achievement—and then bringing everyone back together again to start the next unit of learning. Further, as research on learning has demonstrated, learning is a social endeavor, not meant to be undertaken alone. A cohort model supports this research.
Hold students accountable to key and important standards, designating a small handful of "graduation standards" while using the other standards in the Common Core or various state standards to develop curriculum, guide instruction, and build classroom assessments. This strategy focuses learning on key and endurable concepts, skills, and themes; ensures that instructional support is targeted at the most important learning; and pushes students to think about and analyze ideas deeply rather than memorize an unwieldly number of discrete facts.
Educators need to clearly define top levels of performance and provide explicit expectations and opportunities for students to achieve these levels of learning. While we should not expect students to "exceed" standards in all cases, educators should require students to do so in areas of particular interest and aptitude for students.
Schools must establish both incentives and consequences for critical work habits such as time management and meeting deadlines. Rather than ignore these, they must teach, model, assess, and report them separately and eliminate the practice of controlling behavior by reducing grades. We have seen numerous effective strategies where late work requires coming in after school, not attending co-curricular activities, or mandatory guided study halls, to name a few examples.

CrowdStrike to Acquire Reposify to Bolster Visibility and Reduce Risk Exposure of External Assets
Reposify's external attack surface management (EASM) capabilities expand CrowdStrike's robust Threat Intelligence and Security and IT Operations product suites
AUSTIN, Texas and Fal.Con 2022, Las Vegas – September 20, 2022 – CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWD), a leader in cloud-delivered protection of endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data, today announced it has agreed to acquire Reposify Ltd. Reposify provides an external attack surface management (EASM) platform that scans the internet for exposed assets of an organization to detect and eliminate risk from vulnerable and unknown assets before attackers can exploit them. With Reposify, CrowdStrike will provide a fundamentally differentiated EASM experience to customers as part of its world-renowned Threat Intelligence product suite, combining deep insights on endpoints and IT environments with internet scanning capabilities that deliver an adversarial-view of organizational risk across internal and external attack surfaces. CrowdStrike will also leverage Reposify's capabilities to bolster its rapidly growing Security and IT Operations product suite.
Attack surface management is a critical aspect of the broader enterprise security posture. Understanding where shadow IT, legacy systems and unknown infrastructure exposes enterprises to additional risk is essential to enhance the overall security stance of organizations.
"Fortifying security posture and reducing enterprise risk are top priorities for organizations. Traditional risk models take an inside-out approach, which doesn't always account for how a threat actor may view the external attack surface. Reposify's technology delivers an outside-in perspective of an organization's global external risk, providing deep visibility into what connected devices are vulnerable and most likely to be targeted," said George Kurtz, co-founder and chief executive officer of CrowdStrike. "Combined with CrowdStrike's industry-leading threat intelligence and ITSecOps offerings, this acquisition will provide customers an adversarial view of their external-facing risk and vulnerabilities so they can be more proactive in managing their security posture and more resilient to attacks."
"We couldn't be more excited to be joining the peerless team and industry-leading innovators at CrowdStrike," said Uzi Krieger, chief executive officer of Reposify.
Reposify was founded by Yaron Tal in 2017 to help organizations take control of their external attack surfaces by providing complete and continuous visibility and actionable insight at scale. Their core technology leverages one of the largest databases of internet-facing assets to empower organizations with the most complete view of their external attack surface with just a click of a button. In March 2021, Gartner named Reposify to its 2021 emerging vendors list in the external attack surface management security category. This annual list showcases rising technology vendors that are spearheading the future success of cyber innovation.
"We built Reposify to enable organizations on a global scale to have visibility into the unprotected assets from the vantage point of attackers, and look forward to integrating our groundbreaking technology into the world-class CrowdStrike Falcon® platform," said Yaron Tal, founder and chief technology officer of Reposify.

Visiting Central Florida wineries should be on everyone's list when exploring the area. Read on to learn more about one of our favorites!
What comes to mind when you think of Central Florida? Probably theme parks or maybe going on some outdoor adventures with your kids? We can guarantee that what did not come to mind were Central Florida wineries. Well, we think that needs to change!
One of our favorite vineyards in Florida is True Blue Winery. Located in Davenport, it is a charming and delightful winery and bistro that my friend MaryAnn and I found after the hot air balloon ride we'd had that morning. As you drive up to Polk County's first and only winery, you can see the rows and rows of blueberries. During blueberry season (March-May) you can pick your own berries, and the site is often used for private parties and weddings.
The bistro has both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's all decorated so beautifully. They serve steaks, sandwiches, salads, of course cheeses. Their specialty, however, is brick oven pizza. Since we got there just as the winery opened, it wasn't quite fired up yet. 🙁 But it's ok, because the real reason MaryAnn and I went was to sample the wine!
Look at that brick oven!
For $10 we were given 9 samples and a wine glass to try them in (which we got to keep). The samples included blueberry wines made at the winery and some others, like peach and cranberry, that were brought in. The only one I didn't really like was the peach, but I'm just not a fan of peach flavored things.
We love finding wineries in unexpected places (kind of like when we found hundreds of wineries in Iowa!). There's a lot more to Central Florida than people think, and wineries are among some of the attractions that we personally would love to explore more of. We found this Florida winery map, which we plan on using A LOT.
During our visit to True Blue Winery, we really liked it because of it's simple elegance. We were treated like family from the second we stepped foot inside and loved the casual atmosphere. We definitely recommend stopping in to see them, or any of the wineries in Central Florida.
Great post! I recently wrote about the best Italian wine trip, and I had the opportunity to learn abt the Australian yarra valley road. The Californian way is still unknown to me, thank you for the inspiration!
BLUEBERRY WINE?!!!! Amazing – and that choc chip ice cream yummy 🙂 It's interesting because you always associate California with USA wines and never realise Florida also has a few gems as well.
In recent years, I've been going down to Florida at least once or twice a year, so I've pinned this for future reference. I love visiting wineries, but I don't think I've ever had blueberry wine.
We tried kiwifruit wine in New Zealand but it was a bit sweet for my taste. I like the idea of being able to snack on wood fired pizza or some cheese with your wine sampler at this winery.
Such a cute winery! Hopefully we can make it to Florida soon and visit!
I must admit I don't know much about wine (let alone fruit wine!) but these ones look quite different!
I do too! But I didn't think they were too sweet. I'm sure you'd like it if you tried it.
I'm really curious what blueberry wine tastes like. Is it fortified? I'm guessing quite sweet?
Hi Fiona! There were a few varieties, some sweeter than others.
Looks like a beautiful property to explore. And an interesting tasting experience. Not sure if they'd be too sweet for me but I'd give it a try.
9 samples for $10 seems like a steal to me. I don't drink much at all hardly ever, but one day I would like to try the experience of a winery.
Hi Holly! You should, it's a lot of fun. And if you don't usually drink much, having samples would probably be best.
I've truly never heard of blueberry or any other fruit wine other than the traditional grapes used. The tasting flight with its semi-dry, sweet, etc looked liked a good way to sample and compare the different tastes. Wine aside, it's always nice to spend time with a friend and explore a local place.
That is a cool find. I've never even heard of Davenport, Florida. You didn't even stop to get me. 😉 Nor have I been blueberry picking. Hint Hint.
We sampled a lot of fruit wines in North Carolina, but my husband did not like them. He is some sort of a wine connoisseur so he goes for the real thing. But I always love a winery like True Blue because of the elegance of the place, the good food, and the gift shop with pretty little things!
Looks like a really nice place! I'm not a big fan of fruit wines; I often find they're a bit too sweet and syrupy for me. Glad you enjoyed them, though!
Looks like perfect place for date with wife outdoor after 5 years being together. 🙂 I liked a lot their decoration. My wife adore this type of decoration.

This is the Castle Creations Talon 120HV Brushless ESC. The Talon HV120 has the power in all the right places, and the looks to match. The first high voltage controller to come out of the Castle factory with a built in BEC deserves nothing but the biggest BEC we could muster. No more reaching for an external BEC or messing with extra wiring.
At the heart of this powerhouse sits a 20A peak BEC** with selectable 6v or 8v output voltage. With a voltage input range from 3S to 12S LiPo, and a 120A* continuous amperage capability, it's capable of up to 6000W of continuous power for a wide variety of heli and fixed wing applications. Its sleek aluminum case not only ensures your Talon HV stays cool during high power demand situations, but also looks the part while doing it. For those seeking optimum cooling performance, we are offering a 40mm fan accessory, it is recommended for set ups with low airflow, such as under canopies or in a fuselage. Talon HV users will have access to our industry leading software functions and USB programming capability via Castle Link USB adapter***.
*RC HOBBY APPLICATION RATING: 120 amps for the duration of a single 10,000 mAh battery pack with the ESC in contact with a 5 mph airflow of 25C (77F) or cooler air. Controller temperature must never exceed 100C (212F). Exceeding current or temperature ratings may damage components and may shorten the life of the ESC. Always verify system current draw at fullthrottle. Decrease load or increase airflow to decrease the ESC's operating temperature.
Setup - Power 160, Talon 120HV, 10S w/19x10 in Hangar 9 DHC-2 Beaver 1/4 scale.
Note - Powering receiver via ESC lead and powering LED controller with separate BEC lead. Manual doesn't specify if ESC lead is 'opto' so I was happy to learn that that both leads are powered.
ESC is super smooth and never even gets warm I my setup. I have the older Edge 120HV in the exact same setup in another plane and the Talon seems every bit as cool, although a bit heavier. Over all, I dig this setup with integral BEC Pro. Would buy again.
LOVE this unit! Power all day in my Goblin 570 KSE. Powerful BEC and smooth response!

Biological Definition Classification of Infection
Biological Definition Infection Method of Transmission The principles of best practice in infection control are based on extensive research and should be adopted in order to help prevent avoidable infections and to control existing ones. Infection control is especially important within healthcare settings, where the risk of infection to patients is greatly increased. An understanding of the infection process should lead to appropriate actions which help to protect patients, and healthcare workers themselves. Good infection control techniques adopted during patient care
Biological Definition Infection Method of Transmission
The term cycle of infection is used to describe the processes leading to patients acquiring infection within healthcare settings. Knowledge of this cycle is essential in order to understand how infection can occur. All precautions and measures taken in order to prevent and control infection are based on the interruption of this cycle. It involves interaction between the host and the infecting microorganism. Based on their relationship to the host microorganism can be classified as saprophytes & parasites An infection can cause fever and other health problems, depending on where it occurs in the body. When the body's immune system is strong,
it can often fight the germs and cure an infection. Some cancer treatments can weaken the immune system, which may lead to infection.
The disease transmission cycle describes the six components required for the spread of an infectious organism to a susceptible host. The essential components in the cycle are the agent (disease-producing microorganism), reservoir (the place where the agent lives—humans, animals, plants, soil, air, water), mode of escape—how the agent exits the reservoir, mode of transmission, place of entry, and susceptible host. Each of these components must be present for the infection to be transmitted.
Saprophytes The word came from greek papers that mean decayed & phyton means plant. They are free-living microbes that maintain dead or decaying organic matter. They are found in soil and water. Play an important role in the degradation of organic matter.
Parasites They can either be pathogen greek pathos means suffering & gen means disease-producing or commensals come from Latin com means with & mensa means table i.e living together. They can establish themselves and multiply in hosts. The term infection & infectious disease is different. A place (lodgement) & multiplication of a parasite in or on the tissue of a host constitutes infection.
Classification of infection
Health Care-Associated Infections of Public Health Concern Healthcare-associated infections can affect the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts, central nervous systems, and bones and joints. HAIs may also affect skin, soft tissues, and muscles. HAIs of public health concern in many settings include:  Urinary tract infection (UTI), including catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI)  Bloodstream infection, including central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI)  Surgical site infection (SSI)  Pneumonia, including ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)  Multidrug-resistant infections  Infectious Diarrhea and Clostridium difficile infections
1) Initial infection with a parasite in a host is called PRIMARY INFECTION.
2) Subsequent infections by the same parasite in the host are called REINFECTIONS.
3) When a new parasite sets up an infection in a host whose resistance is lowered by preexisting infection is called SECONDARY INFECTION.
4) When a patient already suffering from a disease a new infection is set up from another host or other source is called CROSS INFECTION.
5) Cross infections occurring in hospitals are called NOSOCOMIAL INFECTION.
6) Depending on whether the source of infection is within or outside the host's own body, infection is classified as ENDOGENOUS or EXOGENOUS.
Apart from these basic terms mention above, some other infections are iatrogenic infection, inapparent infection, atypical infection, latent infection. The germs may be bacteria, viruses, yeast, fungi, or other microorganisms. Infections can begin anywhere in the body and may spread all through it
Sources of infection
Healthcare-associated infection (HAI) is an infection that occurs in a patient as a result of care at a health care facility and was not present at the time of arrival at the facility. To be considered an HAI, the infection must begin on or after the third day of admission to the health care facility (the day of admission is Day 1) or on the day of or the day after discharge from the facility. The term "healthcare-associated infection" replaces the formerly used "nosocomial" or "hospital" infection because evidence has shown that these infections can affect patients in any setting where they receive health care.
The commonest source of infection in humans is they. It could be patients or carriers. The carriers can be healthy, convalescent. Depending on the duration carriers can be temporary & chronic. The temporary carrier lasts less than 6 months, while chronic last several year & sometimes rest of one's life.
Many pathogens can infect both humans and animals. Therefore animals may act as a source of human infection. The infection in animals may be asymptomatic. They can serve to maintain the parasite in nature & act as a reservoir of human infections. They are called as RESERVOIR HOST.
Bloodsucking insects may transmit the pathogen to humans and cause a disease called ARTHROPOD –BRONE DISEASE.
Some pathogens can survive in the soil for very long periods spores of tetanus bacilli may remain viable in the soil for several decades & serve as a source of infection. Water may act as a source of infection due to contamination with pathogenic microbes such as cholera vibrio etc.
Again contaminated food may act as a source of infection. The presence of the pathogen in food may be due to external contamination (staphylococcus) or pre-existing infections such as meat or other animal products (Salmonella spp).
Method of transmission of infection
Contact:- Infection acquired by contact, which may be direct or indirect. The term contagious disease had been used for diseases transmitted by direct contact from infectious disease. Indirect contact may be through the agency of families, which are inanimate objects such as clothing, pencils that may be contaminated by the pathogen.
Inhalation:- Respiratory infection such as influenza & tuberculosis is transmitted by inhalation of the pathogen such infection are shed by the patients into the environment during sneezing, coughing, or speaking in the form of a droplet.
Ingestion:- Generally acquired by the ingestion of food or drink contaminated with the pathogen. It can be waterborne (cholera). Foodborne (food poisoning) or hand borne (dysentery).
Inoculation:- Pathogen in some instances may be inoculated directly into the tissue of the host. Inoculation may be iatrogenic when unsterile syringes & surgical equipment are employed.
Congenital:- Some pathogens can cross the placental barrier & infect the fetus. This is known as vertical transmission.
Iatrogenic & laboratory infection:- Infection may sometimes be transmitted during the administration of infection. Modern methods of treatment such as transfusion, organ transplant surgery have increased the possibilities for such infection.

MILWAUKEE (September 12, 2013) — Committed to offering the light commercial business sector reliable backup power options to meet their growing electrical needs, Briggs & Stratton now offers more than 60 different backup power solutions for its dealer network. The new offerings are specifically engineered and manufactured to thrive under the rigorous, heavy power requirements of commercial applications.
Already a respected manufacturer of residential standby generators, the product expansion signals the company's intention to become the commercial sector's trusted name in backup power solutions.
Six differing voltage levels (120/240, 120/208, 139/240, 227/480, 277/480, 347/600), two configuration setups (WYE or Delta) and two controller types (ComAp InteliNanoNT or ComAp InteliLiteNT) are now available from Briggs & Stratton and can be used in conjunction with the 35-kilowatt1 (kW), 48-kW1 and 60-kW1 standby generator units. It adds up to 64 unique backup power options that are ideal for convenience stores, small grocery stores, restaurants or small offices. Capable of providing comprehensive power protection, these commercial standby generators help reduce lost revenue and allow small business owners to continue serving customers through a power outage.
The new offerings still come standard with the features and services expected by Briggs & Stratton customers. A four-year limited parts and labor warranty2 is one of the most comprehensive in the commercial standby power industry. A durable GM Vortec™ 1800 RPM engine is more fuel efficient and quieter than other higher-RPM commercial engine options, and helps ensure a neighbor- and budget-friendly operation. The weather-resistant enclosure made of Galvaneal steel offers years of outdoor protection. The redesigned enclosure also makes servicing the unit easier. Additional maintenance access points prevent time-consuming disassembly.
Advanced, worry-free monitoring is now available with the optional infohub™ wireless monitor. Using a computer, tablet or smart phone, standby generator owners can instantly check their generator's system status from home or away. Owners are notified when maintenance is needed so the generator is always prepared prior to a power outage occuring.
The new Briggs & Stratton® generators will be sold individually and it is recommended that dealers pair the units with the GE Zenith transfer switch options also offered by Briggs & Stratton.

Headline News Nintendo Switch
February 7, 2018 February 9, 2018 Craig Majaski 0 Comments Switch-Metroid-Prime-4, Switch-Ridge-Racer
During last year's E3 presentation, Nintendo surprised everyone with a Metroid Prime 4 announcement for the Nintendo Switch. Although they only showed a logo, it was enough to get many gamers (including us) incredibly hyped for the next game in the series.
While details have remained scarce surrounding the upcoming game, it was confirmed that a new studio was at the helm – leaving us to wonder what the heck Retro has been up to for the past couple of years. Of course rumors swirled and over the past few months one that seemed to gain some traction was that Bandai Namco was involved in some manner with Metroid Prime 4. This wasn't too far fetched because Nintendo has an excellent relationship with them. They teamed up recently with the latest Super Smash Bros. games after all. But a fighting game is one thing (and something Namco has intimate knowledge with), but a first person adventure game? That seemed a little outside their wheelhouse.
Then yesterday another clue was found on LinkedIn, where someone's resume of projects included an "Unannounced IP (First Person Shooter/Adventure Exclusive to the Nintendo Switch)". First person adventure game, you say? That phrase isn't thrown around with any other franchise except Metroid Prime. Supposedly the team could be made up of some of the folks who worked on the cancelled Star Wars 1313 project as well. The plot thickens!
Another listing on LinkedIn shows the developer outing Ridge Racer 8 which is a "drift-based high speed car racing exclusive to the Nintendo Switch". This isn't too outrageous either since we know that Bandai Namco has at least three big exclusives planned for the platform, and Ridge Racer isn't shy about being exclusive to a system (Ridge Racer 6 on Xbox 360 and the portable versions on PSP and Vita).
When all is said and done, all of this is just rumor at this point. There seems to be some very plausible ideas put forth and we wouldn't be surprised to learn that this is all true. Equally we wouldn't be shocked to find out it's all a big lie. What do you think?

MCA and Viacom are suing each other over their USA Network partnership, with each claiming that the other damaged the nation's biggest cable television network.
In a lawsuit filed in Delaware, MCA said Viacom violated their partnership agreement by keeping MTV and Nickelodeon independent from their USA Network venture. MCA asked the court to force Viacom to sell its cable channels or shed its 50 percent of USA Network.
Viacom, parent company of Fort Lauderdale-based Blockbuster Entertainment, quickly filed its own lawsuit in Delaware, seeking relief from the suit and "from MCA's conduct harming their USA partnership."
The lawsuits culminate two years of negotiations over control of the cable channels, which have become a large part of the revenue dollar for their parent companies. It also comes the day Viacom introduced a new channel for vintage reruns called Nick at Nite TV Land. (In South Florida, only TeleMedia of Boynton Beach has confirmed that it will carry TV Land.) "Domestic basic cable networks are so valuable that any time a dispute arises like this, the parties are going to play hardball," said Dave Davis, an analyst with investment bank Houlihan & Lockey.
The companies are no strangers to such tactics. Four months after firing Viacom Chief Executive Frank Biondi, Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone released Biondi from his non-compete contract. That move permitted Biondi to become MCA's chairman and chief executive.
MCA said it had been negotiating a resolution to violations of its partnership since Viacom acquired Paramount Communications in 1994. USA Network, which has 67 million subscribers, was founded in 1980 by Chairman Kay Koplovitz.
"Both at the time of the Paramount acquisition and following the announcement of the TV Land launch, Viacom was notified that its conduct violated the intent and spirit of our joint venture agreements," said Karen Randall, MCA senior vice president and general counsel.
MCA said a clause in the agreement it originally signed with Paramount prevented Viacom or MCA from starting a cable channel outside of the partnership. MCA said it had kept its side of the bargain.
Last year, MTV, USA Network and Nickelodeon had a combined cash flow of $476 million, according to Paul Kagan & Associates, a consulting firm. Viacom had 1995 cash flow of $2.3 billion.
Viacom intended to further capitalize on cable channels by starting Nick at Nite TV Land, a spinoff of Nickelodeon.
Viacom said MCA promised to waive its claim on TV Land and other MTV networks if Viacom released Frank Biondi from his contract.


The reopened Islington Assembly Hall, London has installed an Allen & Heath iLive digital mixing system, comprising and iDR-32 MixRacks with two iLive-T112 Control Surfaces, to manage both FOH and monitors.
Having fallen into disuse for almost 30 years, the fully refurbished hall was reopened in 2010 and now hosts a busy schedule of live music, as well as a vast array of events, ranging from conferences and parties, to vintage fashion shows.
The venue refurbishment plans did not include the installation of a mixing desk, ultimately meaning that no multi-core was installed.
"The beauty of this digital system is that to increase the number of available channels all we need to do is use a larger mix rack, there's no need to dig up the floor to install a cable. Having the mix rack on stage and the control surface at the rear of the hall connected by a single CAT5 cable was a big selling point," Turner continued.
The venue also installed an E-V XLE181 line array with additional front fills and subs, and Martin monitors on stage.
"Overall, the system sounds fantastic and will enable us to meet all the challenges that our varied events calendar will throw at us," concluded Turner.


As in humans, pets' teeth need regular care. Dogs and cats require similar teeth cleaning to us, except that sedation is required. Because of this we tend to wait longer than the six-month interval that is common in people. Current research, however, shows that dogs' and cats' teeth are actually more pain sensitive than ours yet pets tend not show discomfort in the same obvious ways as humans. As a result, it can be difficult to judge if your pets are in need of dental care. At the Brockton Animal Hospital, our staff can show you how to best take care of your pets' teeth at home as well as what to look for if you suspect there is a problem. Inflamed gums, dropping food around the feeding bowl or an apparent loss of appetite may all be signs that your dog or cat is suffering from a toothache. Pets may even attempt to chew on only one side of the mouth in an effort to avoid pain.
When necessary, our veterinary staff is well trained in performing dental cleaning and, x rays if necessary. First, a thorough assessment of your pet's health will be made in order to ensure that all the steps are taken to make this procedure as safe as possible. If indicated, laboratory blood work may be performed if your pet is older or has any other problems. Since dental work can be costly, we take every opportunity to minimize the expense for you, the pet's guardian. If your pet has had recent blood work, or if he or she is young, we will discuss whether pre-anesthetic blood work is required. Dental x-rays for your dog or cat are only performed if we find an abnormality during the tooth cleaning and exam. This is another way to reduce cost of dental hygiene. Occasionally we may find something unexpected during the exam. In that event, we will call you before proceeding with any additional procedure.
When a tooth is found to be infected, abscessed or diseased, extraction may be the best treatment. Multiple extractions in dogs and cats are not uncommon and likely this possibility will be discussed with you before dental procedure. When the unexpected is found, a phone call will be made to discuss the various treatment possibilities. Upon occasion, a tooth may be saved with root canal therapy or it may be possible to delay extractions. It is our goal to have you as your pet's guardian to be involved in any treatment plan. It is difficult to think of our pet companions losing teeth, but the tooth or teeth in question are often painful. Extraction will resolve this quickly. Commonly, owners find the recovery much quicker than expected and are surprised at how much better their pet companion feels.
It's important to take care of your dog's or cat's teeth and gums. Tooth and gum disease have been linked to many health problems including kidney and heart disease. Improved dental care leads to increased longevity. At the Brockton Animal Hospital, we can thoroughly examine your dog or cat's mouth to find any problem that may be brewing. Additionally, we can instruct you in how to best care for your pets' teeth at home. This can avoid costlier dental procedures.
It is never too late to begin a dental care program for your pet. Tooth brushing for your cat or dog is easier than one might think and can be quite fun. The tooth gels we provide at the Brockton Animal Hospital are multi flavored and very well accepted. Preventative dental care is extremely important in promoting the overall health of four legged friend.
If you have any questions about your dog's or cat's oral hygiene please give us a call today.

It was a typical night at the impromptu skate park. Four Canadian teens were having a good time practicing in the underground parking garage. But it was getting late, and the boys had to head home soon. But then, they noticed something suspicious happening on the streets of Calgary that stopped them in their tracks.
A well-dressed man and an upset fifteen-year-old girl were walking across the parking garage. But the man was forcefully carrying the irate teenager through the underground lot. But that wasn't the behavior that alerted the teens. It was something else about the girl that quickly made them very suspicious.
One of the skateboarders, Carsyn Wright, said, "She was screaming and yelling. She just wanted to be out of there. She was all scuffed up and dirty." That was enough to make the boys suspicious. So, the four teens decided to walk up to the man and demand an explanation. What was up with this dude?
The man told the concerned teens that he was the girl's dad. The boys assumed he had probably found her doing something illegal like underage drinking. The young woman didn't scream for help or contradict the older man, so they backed off. But something wasn't quite right with this situation.
It was getting late in Calgary, and the boys needed to make their way home. So, they packed up their skateboards and other items and headed home. Not once did they doubt the man's explanation, especially since the girl didn't suggest he was lying. But the boys couldn't shake off that eerie feeling that something was wrong.
The boys felt uneasy as they walked out of the underground parking lot. How could they be 100% certain that the man was telling the truth? The girl was dirty and resistant. What had they been doing in the parking lot this late at night? Maybe they were just looking for their car. The boys weren't quite so sure anymore.
The teens hadn't bought the man's story, at least, not entirely. But Wright said, "You don't want to really think of the worst in somebody like that. You don't want that situation to be real, so you just brush it off and hope for the best." But their consciences were weighing on them.
They decided to head back to make sure everything was okay. They rushed into the Calgary underground parking lot. Working together, they figured out where the man and teenage girl had gone. But when they finally tracked them down, they were overwhelmed with disgust.
The four teens were frozen by the sight of what the man was doing to the teen girl. Arnaud Nimenya, one of the boys, said that he "didn't know what to do." But the teen boys snapped out of their shocked state and tried to separate them. And the man was extremely upset by their intrusion.
The man's attempts had failed, so he tried leaving the parking garage. "He pushed me aggressively out of the way, kinda like just gives me the smile, like, 'I can do this. You can't do anything about it,'" claimed Nimenya, as he and his friends followed the man. And that's when the man reacted!
A chase ensued, and the boys were on the man's heels. But one of the teens stuck around to look after the inebriated girl. The other three boys trailed the man as he made his way back into the streets of Calgary. When the man realized he was being followed, he decided to use the boys' skateboards to fight them off.
Fortunately, the cops arrived and took him into custody before he could harm the teenage boys. Then, the three went back to check on the girl and their friend. Once they realized she was okay, the boys went home. They had no idea how grateful the city would be to them for their heroic deeds.
Police Chief Constable Roger Chaffin tried calling the boys. He wanted to thank them for their heroism, but the boys thought they were in trouble for getting into a scuffle with the man. Eventually, the police chief was able to explain his intentions, and the boys were surprised and touched by the officer's kind gesture.
The four boys were invited to the Chief's Award Gala to receive recognition for their service to the city of Calgary, and for saving the young girl's life. The teens humbly claimed that they did what they hoped anyone would have done in their place. And going forward, they intend to follow their gut instincts.

Lartilleria autopropulsada, també anomenada artilleria mòbil, és una classe d'artilleria en la qual un vehicle serveix de plataforma de l'arma, en transporta la munició, la tripulació i altres sistemes necessaris per al seu funcionament.

L'artilleria autopropulsada té integrat en el seu propi sistema de transport un xassís blindat de tracció per erugues o rodes. Això li dona l'avantatge de poder ser a prop d'altres unitats blindades i, alhora, li dona protecció davant de tancs contra unitats d'artilleria enemigues. L'artilleria autopropulsada usualment es fa servir per al bombardeig indirecte i pot estar armada amb morters, obusos o artilleria de coets.

Història

El concepte d'artilleria autopropulsada blindada es va introduir en la Primera Guerra Mundial, quan l'Exèrcit Britànic va modificar alguns tancs model Mark I amb una peça d'artilleria. Aquesta artilleria mòbil es podia disparar des de dins del tanc o bé es podia desmuntar i fer servir com a artilleria normal.

Durant la Segona Guerra Mundial, gairebé tota l'artilleria encara era transportada per cavalls o altres vehicles, i, tot i que la Blitzkrieg alemanya es basava en ràpids desplaçaments de tropes i tancs, una gran part de l'artilleria era portada per bombarders com l'Stuka. Una de les primeres artilleries autopropulsades consistia en camions normals que no tenien protecció ni per als tripulants. Els alemanys van ser uns dels primers a experimentar amb artilleria blindada, i van inventar diversos vehicles, com l'SdKfz 124 Wespe i el Hummel. Els soviètics també van ser uns dels primers a aplicar aquest concepte, i van produir tancs com el SU-85 i l'SU-100; així mateix, van inventar una nova forma d'artilleria autopropulsada, l'artilleria de coets, amb el Katiuixa. Els nord-americans i els anglesos també van produir els seus tancs, com l'M7 Priest i el Sexton (25 pdr).

Artilleria moderna
Des de finals del s.XX els atacs de llarg abast i que requereixen precisió se solen dur a terme amb atac aeris o de míssils de creuer. Però l'artilleria segueix essent més efectiva per a donar suport immediat, ja que té més disponibilitat, menor temps de reacció i uns costos per projectil molt més baixos. L'abast i precisió de l'artilleria de canó també està augmentat, gràcies al desenvolupament de tecnologies que automatitzen l'encarament del canó, la transmissió de dades de l'objectiu i, darrerament, el desenvolupament de munició per a canons o morters amb guiatge làser o per GPS/inercial.

Alguns exemples d'artilleria autopropulsada que han entrat en servei recentment són basats en camions 6x6 o 8x8 (com el francès Caesar o el suec Archer). Mentre que d'altres continuen amb una plataforma blindada i amb propulsió amb erugues com l'M109 dels Estats Units i el Panzerhaubitze 2000 alemanys.

Welcome to PWInsider.com's live coverage of WWE Over the Limit 2011.
The PPV opened with a graphic in honor of the late Randy Savage.
They then went into the opening video package for tonight's PPV.
They then went into the opening video package for tonight's PPV. In keeping with theme of the PPV, there are several cars on the stage. We'll see if they play into the show this year like they did with the John Cena vs. Batista match last year.
Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole are doing commentary.
Truth came out and told the crowd they shouldn't be booing him, but booing themselves. He said he felt like being a good sport tonight and said when he arrived at the Arena, he didn't have a parking spot. He said that meant he had to park with everyone else and he deserves to be treated like the fans. He said that it was a conspiracy. Truth said he danced and pranced for all the "little Jimmys" and it didn't get him anywhere. He said that everyone is trying to make him crack up because he's not playing their games anymore. Truth said that Rey Mysterio likes to play games by wearing his toy mask. Truth said that Rey tried to slide into his spot so Truth is going to take his spot and will take any spot that he wants – and that's the truth. Promo was fine but I didn't feel like there was this huge heel reaction to him tonight.
Truth was caught early with a Rey kick and sent to the outside. Rey dove off the apron into a rana on the floor. Mysterio tossed Truth in the ring but was caught on the ropes, where he was worked over in the corner. Mysterio caught him with a drop toehold in the corner but was nailed with a knee and charged into the ringpost, falling to the floor.
Truth brought Rey back into the ring and continued working him over. Truth caught Rey with a kick to the gut and covered Mysterio for a two count. Truth locked in a rear chinlock while Rey was outside the ring, using the ropes for additional leverage. He continued the assault, tying Rey around the ringpost and yanking at his extremities.
Back in the ring, Truth draped him across the top turnbuckle but Mysterio began fighting him off. Rey bulldogged Truth into the ring but Truth kicked up at the last second. Mysterio and Truth battled back and forth. Mysterio nailed several knee strikes but was shoved off into the ropes. He rebounded with a kick to the heat for a two count.
Rey was sent into the corner but fought Truth off.
Rey nailed the sitdown splash off the top but Truth came back with the spinning elbow off the top for a near fall. Truth went for the Axe Kick but missed. Rey rolled him up but Truth powered out. He went for a Uranage but Rey sent him into the ropes.
Rey went for the 619 but Truth got to the floor. Rey kicked him through the ropes Truth crotched him with the ring apron, the clotheslined Rey. The crowd started chanting that Truth sucked. Truth drilled Rey with his finisher, which is a forward swinging DDT and scored the pin.
Truth grabbed a water bottle and took a celebratory drink, then smashed the bottle into Rey's face.
The matcb was solid. This was about getting over Truth as a heel and in that regard, it succeeded as the crowd went from being somewhat apathetic to hating Truth.
They showed the fish market in Seattle. Michael Cole said he was there today to rip apart some fish and smear it on his feet for his Kiss My Foot Match. Cole is teasing he has a surprise for Jerry Lawler later.
Barrett caught Jackson with a kick to the stomach and tried to grab a front facelock but Jackson powered out and sent him flying. Barrett went to the floor but was pulled back in Jackson worked over Barrett, who caught him with a rake to the face and worked him over.
Jackson quickly overcame Barrett and tossed him to the floor. Jackson chased him into the ring. Barrett went for a kick to the face but Jackson caught it and shoved him down. Jackson worked over Barrett with a series of knees in the corner. He whipped Barrett hard into the buckles and Barrett bumped to the mat. Jackson covered Barrett for a two count, then sent him running into the corner again.
Jackson nailed a series of kicks in the corner. Barrett started selling that his neck was hurt and when the referee backed Jackson up, Barrett clotheslined him. He sent Jackson into the ringpost shoulder-first. Barrett covered Jackson for a two count. Barrett went to the middle corner and came off with a flying elbowdrop for a two count.
Barrett locked in a side chinlock. The crowd started to rally Jackson, who fought his way out but was nailed with a kick. Barrett went for Wasteland but Jackson slipped out. Barrett caught him with a rear kick to the gut, then slammed Jackson for a two count.
Jackson came back with a right hand hand that sent Barrett to the floor. Jackson caught Barrett on the apron and sent him into the turnbuckles. Jackson flipped him into the ring and never several shoulderblocks, then a running clothesline in the corner. Jackson slammed Barrett several times. The crowd liked that, so Jackson kept going with the slams.
Jackson locked in the Human Torture Rack but Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater hit the ring. DQ.
Jackson fought them off but was eventually overwhelmed by the three on one odds. Barrett drilled him with a kick to the face, exacerbated by the others slamming Jackson down. The Corre stood tall over the beaten Jackson.
Match was about what you would think it was. Not pretty but they were trying to showcase Jackson's strength and did a good job of that. The crowd was really getting into Jackson's offense at the end.
CM Punk and Mason Ryan were walking into their locker room, finding the other members of Nexus laid out. They said it was Kane and Big Show. Punk calmed Mason Ryan saying that it proved they were under the champions' skins. Ryan wanted to go find them and kill them but Punk told him no. Ryan said Punk didn't care that they were beat up. Punk said he does but he also cares about winning the Tag Team titles, and told Ryan let's go do that. They left. Punk returned and told Otunga and McGuillicuty to walk their injuries off. That was funny.
Sin Cara hit his trampoline entrance, which is good because Vince McMahon hated it when Cara would barely make it over the ropes and talked about scrapping it.
They locked up and Guerrero grabbed a side headlock. This has to be Chavo's first PPV singles match in years. He scissored Cara's head with his legs. Cara escaped but was caught in a hammerlock.
Cara slipped out and nailed several hiptosses, then monkey flipped Guerrero into the ropes. Guerrero shoulderblocked Cara on the apron but Cara sent him to the floor. Cara hit a twisting dive to the outside. Cara bounced off the ropes onto Guerrero's shoulders and nailed a head scissors on the floor.
Back in the ring, Guerrero nailed Cara but was kicked off. Cara nailed a top rope standing moonsault for a two count. Cara drilled him with a knee in the corner but missed a leaping splash Guerrero nailed several knees and stomped away at Cara in the corner.
Guerrero drilled Cara with an uppercut in the corner of the ring, but Cara came back with a huge dropkick. Guerrero kicked Cara off as he charged him in the corner. Guerrero peppered him with punches and began working his leg, trying to take away Cara's offensive maneuvers.
Cara elevated Guerrero to the apron with a backdrop then nailed him with a kick to the head. Guerrero went to the floor. Cara did a great dive over the ringpost to the floor on Chavo but the camera angle took away from the awesome visual of the height Cara gets with that spot.
Cara drilled Guerrero with a knee, then came off the top with a top rope headscissors. Cara nailed a flurry of strikes, including a handspring rebound elbow off the ropes. Guerrero backdropped Cara onto the apron but Cara landed on his feet and kicked him. He nailed a high cross bodyblock for a two count.
Guerrero nailed Cara and locked him in the Gori Guerrero Especial. The announcers didn't call the move. REALLY GUYS? Cara slipped out and something went to hell there. They went to the finish and well, the whole thing fell apart.
Some nice spots from Cara but for something designed to spotlight him, I didn't get the impression it worked out so well.
Todd Grisham interviewed World champion Randy Orton and his challenger tonight, Christian. Grisham asked whether the title loss ate away at Christian Christian said he isn't mad at anyone because Orton didn't do anything he wouldn't have done tonight and he'd probably be freaking out if he didn't know he was going to get his belt back. Orton told him he was a great competitor and he'd make a great story, but when he loses. Christian said that he's not going to lose. Orton said that he better because when he fights a feel good story, it doesn't end well.


What's The Story With This Mike Barrett Guy?
My mom asks me that all the time :).
The short version is that I always thought, from the very first time I heard the traditional approach to SAT guessing in high school, that the popular approach to test-taking strategy was wrong. So I did my own thing instead. Over the years, friends and family would come to me for help with their tests, until I eventually made test prep my full-time occupation.
Today, I pride myself on doing things differently, from my test-prep strategies to my solid guarantee (the strongest one in the industry as far as I know).

Q: Anniversary of love? On 2016/1/27, my current girlfriend agreed to become my girlfriend. So today, or 2017/1/27, is a special day for us. However, I don't know how to name this significant day. I've performed some searching, and found these phrases:

*

*Our first anniversary of love

*First anniversary of our love

*First anniversary for love

*First love anniversary

*First anniversary

*etc.

Which one is correct? You can also name this day with other phrases or single words.

A: Fun question, but unfortunately there is no word for this.  You have to make something up, and so it's really just a matter of opinion.  Most people would say something like:

December 31st is the anniversary of our first date!

My wife just calls this our "date-o-versary".  If it's a different event, modify as appropriate.

A:
One year anniversary

or

First anniversary

Anniversary can be used in many contexts, although in the context

My girlfriend and I are celebrating our first anniversary today

it is interpreted as one year since you became a couple.

My wife and I are celebrating our fifth anniversary today

is interpreted as five years since you married your wife
