Community building in online education
Ehlert, Alycia Marie
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this study is to explore the collegiate community that online students experience and the possibilities associated with augmenting student learning by using Second Life in the online classroom. Specifically, I examined how Second Life could be used as a teaching tool to break down the barriers found in distance education, such as students feeling disconnected from their peers and instructors and having lower levels of engagement in online courses, leading to lower retention rates. To explore how students could build a community in their online courses, I incorporated Second Life into an online cultural diversity course offered at a community college in Georgia. Within this course, I required students to participate in social mixers in Second Life, explore the Second Life world using a scavenger hunt and other activities, and keep a journal to reflect on their Second Life experiences. This case study used observation of students, interviews, and document analysis to interpret and understand their perceptions about the usefulness of Second Life as a teaching tool as it relates to building a collegiate community in their online classes. I interviewed participants using a semi-structured interview format, transcribed the digital files of the interviews, and completed member checks with students to check my perceptions of the information gathered during interviews. I also analyzed the journals students kept during the course of the semester. Students indicated that Second Life is a useful tool for creating community, but they did not have the time to devote to it because of their other priorities. Additionally, however, students did not have access to the technology available to allow Second Life to work properly, causing more problems than it is worth for the time being.

Even GOP Doesn't Buy Trump's Reasons for Killing Soleimani, DT Less Trusted & RBG is Cancer-Free
Despite launching missiles at two US bases in Iraq, Iran bought themselves some good will yesterday by taking their revenge while allowing Donald Trump a face-saving way to back down from his earlier threats to escalate the conflict further. The assassination of Gen Qassem Suleimani was seen as an unnecessary and mindless provocation in much of the world, so Iran's measured response was applauded globally. It's pretty telling when Iran's generally brutish leaders are seen as the adults in the room.
As calm settled over Washington, even the President's defenders in Congress had some questions about Trump's rationale for killing Suleimani. President Trump claimed that the attack was based on intelligence showing that the General was planning imminent attacks on US forces in the Middle East. Administration officials wouldn't share their intelligence with the public but held a confidential briefing for key congressional leaders yesterday. It didn't go well.
Twitter, CNN: "Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly, who just emerged from a briefing on Iran from top Trump administrations officials, called it “sophomoric and utterly unconvincing” adding that he remained “utterly unpersuaded” that the strike on Qasem Soleimani was justified."
And several GOP senators were even less complementary.
CNN: "The sharpest of the criticism came from two of President Donald Trump's Senate allies: Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Lee said after the briefing that it was the "worst briefing I've had on a military issue" during his nine years in the Senate."
"In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room" on Wednesday, Paul said the briefing was "an insult to the Constitution."
The problem is that the Trump Administration has asked Congress and the American people to trust its reasoning for the attack. And that's the rub, isn't it. Trust is earned through experience, by telling the unvarnished truth, even if it's not helpful to your cause or interests. No one, not even his most ardent supporters, believe that Donald Trump has earned that level of trust.
Trump is the Least Trusted Global Leader: Speaking of trust, Americans aren't the only folks who don't trust Donald Trump.
Surveys done by Pew Research in 32 nations across the globe found that President Trump is seen as untrustworthy by 64% of respondents, with only 29% saying that they have confidence that he will do the right thing in world affairs. The percentage was even lower among many of our closest allies.
Pew: "Anti-Trump sentiment was strongest in Mexico (89% "no confidence") and Western Europe. Just 13% expressed confidence in him in Germany, 18% in Sweden, 20% in France, 21% in Spain and 25% in the Netherlands."
And, Trump was viewed as less trustworthy than the other world leaders included in the survey; German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Just to repeat, Donald Trump is now seen as less trustworthy than Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping globally.
In contrast, at the end of his second term, in 2017, 64% of respondents in a similar global survey expressed confidence in President Barack Obama.
And, Some Good News Today: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told CNN that she no longer has cancer.
CNN: "Sounding energized and speaking animatedly, she told CNN on Tuesday that her year was off to a fine start: "I'm cancer free. That's good."
That is very, very good news!

The Republic of North Macedonia will conclude its first national census in nearly 20 years today. The census in the
The Republic of North Macedonia will conclude its first national census in nearly 20 years today.
The census in the South Balkan nation is extremely politically sensitive due to laws in the country which grant special rights to ethnic groups that make up at least 20% of the population. These rights include official language status and public job quotas. Currently, the only group which meets this threshold besides the ethnic Macedonian majority is the Albanian community, which makes up 25% of the population.
The main opposition party, nationalist VMRO-DPMNE is firmly against the census, as is the left-wing Levica party. Both are concerned that the results will be biased in favor of the Albanian community. The primary Albanian-interest party—the DUI—however, has threatened not to recognize the results if they do not show Albanians comprising at least 20% of the population.
Expect a result which shows a growing ethnic Albanian population given relatively high birth rates in their community. This is likely to anger both ethnic Macedonians and those from smaller ethnic minorities—particularly Macedonian Turks—who may lose out on their own, lesser, guaranteed rights. As a result, political tensions will flare with the possibility of mass protests.

Don Henley of the Eagles wanted to write a song about life in Los Angeles, California, particularly its emphasis on fame, hedonism and money. Henley wrote, “It’s basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American dream and about excess in America, which is something we knew a lot about.” Henley wanted the song, decidedly somber, and played in harmonic minor, seem like an episode of the Twilight Zone, which it certainly does. Apparently the song worked on many levels, because it won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1978. And the dueling guitars coda was rated the greatest guitar solo by Guitarist magazine in 1998.
Satanic themes are common in black metal, though many bands take inspiration from ancient paganism, promoting a return to supposed pre-Christian values. Numerous black metal bands also “experiment with sounds from all possible forms of metal, folk, classical music, electronica and avant-garde”. Darkthrone drummer Fenriz explains, “It had something to do with production, lyrics, the way they dressed and a commitment to making ugly, raw, grim stuff. There wasn’t a generic sound.”

The lyrics relate to a real event experienced by members of Deep Purple, while staying at an entertainment complex near the Montreux Casino. Suddenly a fire broke out in the theatre where The Mothers of Invention were playing and the casino was soon destroyed. But while watching smoke drift across a nearby lake, Deep Purple created the words to a classic rock tune, “Smoke on the Water.” Released in 1973, it reached #4 on Billboard’s pop singles chart. Also SOTW is often considered one of the best metal songs of all time, highlighted as it is by its iconic, though simple, opening riff.
Earlier on, as “heavy metal” emerged partially from the heavy psychedelic rock or acid rock scene, “acid rock” was often used interchangeably with “heavy metal” and “hard rock”. Musicologist Steve Waksman stated that “the distinction between acid rock, hard rock, and heavy metal can at some point never be more than tenuous”, while percussionist John Beck defined “acid rock” as synonymous with hard rock and heavy metal.
Dubbed as an anthem for apathetic kids, “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is arguably Nirvana’s greatest hit and perhaps the greatest one of Grunge or alternative rock. It’s so popular, even now, that college marching bands sometimes play it. Moreover, the intro guitar lick, played with power chords, has become one of the most iconic riffs in rock and roll history. It seems every rock guitarist can play it to some degree. How about you? Anyway, the song blasted to #6 on Billboard’s Hot 100 in 1991 and 1992, shaking up the entire world of rock.
Classic rock is a radio format which developed from the album-oriented rock (AOR) format in the early 1980s. In the United States, the classic rock format features music ranging generally from the mid-1960s to the late 1980s, primarily focusing on commercially successful hard rock popularized in the 1970s. The radio format became increasingly popular with the baby boomer demographic by the end of the 1990s.
Although this song was released by Badfinger in 1970, there is no one on earth that sings it as good as this man. Published in 1971, this love ballad epitomizes what love is all about. “I can’t live if living is without you.”
When someone finds their true love in life, sometimes they don’t know what they are feeling. Released in 1970, this song proves that there is no price on love. That love is about much more than material things, and if it’s strong, you will always feel that butterfly feeling.

By 1992, black metal scenes had begun to emerge in areas outside Scandinavia, including Germany, France, and Poland. The 1993 murder of Mayhem’s Euronymous by Burzum’s Varg Vikernes provoked intensive media coverage. Around 1996, when many in the scene felt the genre was stagnating, several key bands, including Burzum and Finland’s Beherit, moved toward an ambient style, while symphonic black metal was explored by Sweden’s Tiamat and Switzerland’s Samael. In the late 1990s and early 2000s decade, Norway’s Dimmu Borgir brought black metal closer to the mainstream, as did Cradle of Filth.
Thrash soon began to evolve and split into more extreme metal genres. “Slayer’s music was directly responsible for the rise of death metal,” according to MTV News. The NWOBHM band Venom was also an important progenitor. The death metal movement in both North America and Europe adopted and emphasized the elements of blasphemy and diabolism employed by such acts. Florida’s Death and the Bay Area’s Possessed are recognized as seminal bands in the style. Both groups have been credited with inspiring the subgenre’s name, the latter via its 1984 demo Death Metal and the song “Death Metal”, from its 1985 debut album Seven Churches (1985). In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Swedish death metal became notable and melodic forms of death metal were created.
Once the Greg Simpson Band takes the stage their rock-star persona becomes immediately apparent. Greg is an exceptional talent that relies on his gritty vocals to transform classics from Journey, the Eagles, Styx, Fleetwood Mac, and many others into fresh-sounding masterpieces. His musicianship is well-respected in the industry and he has shared the stage with many notable artists such as Jewel, SheDaisy, and Shane Jackman. Greg Simpson is an amazing concert performer, but is also great for dances, parties, fairs, corporate events, and festivals.
^ The first explicit prohibition of that interval seems to occur with the “development of Guido of Arezzo’s hexachordal system which made B flat a diatonic note, namely as the 4th degree of the hexachordal on F. From then until the end of Renaissance the tritone, nicknamed the ‘diabolus in musica’, was regarded as an unstable interval and rejected as a consonance” (Sadie, Stanley . “Tritone”, in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, 1st ed. MacMillan, pp. 154–155. ISBN 0-333-23111-2. See also Arnold, Denis . “Tritone”, in The New Oxford Companion to Music, Volume 1: A–J. Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-311316-3). During the Romantic era and in modern classical music composers have used it freely, exploiting the evil connotations with which it is culturally associated.
This is another song with a true story behind it. The name Layla relates to a book entitled The Story of Layla and Majnun, which tells the tale of Majnun, who falls in love with a beautiful young woman; but her father rejects Majnun and he goes crazy with desire. In real life, guitarist Eric Clapton, the co-writer of “Layla,” fell in love with Patty Boyd, who had married George Harrison. Eventually, though, Boyd and Harrison got a divorce and Clapton then married Boyd. How sweet! Anyway, over the years “Layla” has garnered great popular and critical acclaim. Interestingly, Both Clapton and Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers wrote and played the famous guitar licks throughout the song.
35? You’re joking right? This band is one of and will always be one of the greatest Rock bands out there. I literally cringed when I saw this at 35. This band is better than most that are higher up in this chart. With songs like For Whom The Bell Tolls, The Unforgiven, Wnter Sandman, whiskey in the jar and covers such as Am I evil? And Tuesdays Gone this band seems to be FAR MORE UNDERRATED than it should be. Outstanding vocals, Bass, guitar and drums I see no reason why this band isn’t a great one. Metallica!
Rob Berg is a self-proclaimed classic Rock “lifer”. What does that mean exactly? It means we built the station around him. And the Led Zeppelin tees he sports are all originals.Every weekday at 3pm K-97’s Rob Berg hosts AC/D3… 3 back-to-back-to-back…
The high-powered Speed of Sound Band knows how to turn dull parties into exciting events. With a fresh, creative take on classic rock tunes as well as the most popular dance hits of today, this is one fun band that will have you dancing ’till your feet hurt. Crowds can’t sit still once Speed of Sound gets their mojo working.

As the story goes, The Beatles movie needed a title, something other than Beatlemania, so the Beatles suggested a comment made by Ringo might work. Ringo had said they’ve worked so hard night and day that it’s been a hard . . . day’s night, kind of a malapropism. Eureka! Then, once the producers had a title for the movie, they also needed a theme song. So John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote it and the Beatles recorded it the next day. In July 1964, “A Hard Day’s Night,” the single and album, soared to #1 on the charts in both the US and UK, the first time a musical group had achieved such a feat.
Anyone can cover another artist’s song, but few are able to take that song and truly make it their own. In the case of ‘All Along The Watchtower,’ there is no doubt that Jimi Hendrix most certainly turned the Bob Dylan composition into not only a Hendrix song, but into a true classic.

Nice So….. I see a lot of people saying that these tracks are only “free” for 30th days, that is not the case. What the “free for 30th days” are referring to is the Google Play service which, just like Pandora, you can pay a monthly rate to have the premium version of it. Oh well….. Not like I’m the first-person here to point this out…. Smh. But I feel it’s a good deal! Free music is ALWAYS good!
So what makes any rock music classic? Is it in the artist, the high amount of radio plays, the millions of records sold, or musical styles and subjects tackled in the lyrics? Actually, none of these things are required for music to be considered “classic rock.” “Classic rock” doesn’t mean the 70s rock records became automatically a classic by the time they were released. Nor an artist that releases these records doesn’t necessarily become a classic rock artist. A record’s huge sales don’t mean that record instantly becomes classic rock. The Beatles and Led Zeppelin have different musical styles and themes from each other, but both of them are nevertheless considered classic rock artists because they released classic rock albums.

Johnny Cooper Show Review
If you missed Johnny Cooper this past weekend at Rockin Rodeo you can read all about the show here.
I must admit that I have been so excited to see the new band backing up one of my favorite artist in the Texas Music Scene ever since he announced that he had new members in the band. So I had talked back and forth with Johnny before he got to San Angelo about how things were going and how anxious I was to see the new show and meet everyone. Johnny reassured me that it was going to be a good time and he was ready to see everyone in San Angelo again.
Its always a fun time when I get to go out and hang out with Johnny Cooper and bring him and the guys on stage. We are all very familiar with drummer Joe Cortez IV who won our drum battles and became the king of our competition but two new faces we introduced to San Angelo for the first time Saturday night.
First we were introduced to Jay Sanford on the bass guitar, I must say that when I met Jay and spoke with him briefly before the show this guy knows his stuff hands down. He was a trip to watch and listen too as he tore the bass guitar up during his solo.
The second face we were introduced to was Cris Brenham, I have never seen someone integrate keys into a show so flawlessly. Cris is a true ace when it comes to the keys and can put the blues into the song or turn right around and tear it up with some down right rockin tunes.
Over all the band performance was phenominal as usual but regular Johnny Cooper concert goers will notice a difference in the set list with lots of new music mixed in with the old stuff that made us fall in love with Cooper. The well known rap set that Johnny was well noted for has changed up and has done nothing but add a new flavor to the show. Don't worry you will still get to see the awesome break downs and jam sessions that we all love at a Cooper show. Its always a pleasure to have someone like Johnny come to town and put on a show and still love his fans the way he did when he first got into the business. GREAT SHOW Johnny Cooper!

Nightmares are never colourful; you see no green, no blue, no beige, and no red together in your dreams. The world inside a dream is completely different, somewhat hazy, unclear and puzzling. You never realise it to be a dream till you wake up from your stupor. The lights and places seen your dream landscape are often mixture of some unacknowledged colours. Trains cruising through the greyish sky, cars flying, it’s difficult to trace their colours. They are often fuzzy and intriguing. It’s a painstaking process to remember your dreams unless they are recurring.
Dreams always fascinated me, I am no dream reader but I love to arrest my dreams and scribble the disconnected events in the notepad. Those afternoon, early morning and late night dreams keep me occupied and I love to manipulate my lucid dreams. Your subconscious thoughts take flight; you see faces of strangers that the retina captures in your day to day life. The uncanny nature of your dreams makes you crazy. You feel relaxed and relieved after an agonizing nightmare. All pain vanishes; all shadows leave you with the morning sunshine. Some dreams make you realise the existence of a person in your life that you never gave importance, some dreams teaches you the art of finding a treasure, some dreams just gives you wings to fly.
Imagine Your Dreams in Colours…
Envisage dewdrops, grasslands, flying mountains, those pictures in your dreams in colours. Try translating that nightmare into a beautiful dream. Smell the fragrance of your loved one, try to paint the surreal landscape with happy colours.
Recovering from pain takes time, the colourless sky in your galaxy no more stays the same, things change and you see those forgotten colours again. Life’s beautiful; it looks best with true shades. A black and white picture may look great, a sepia tinted magazine cover may look chic but life without colours is never fashionable. Let’s add some happiness, let’s design our own little universe, let’s try to fly with colours once again...
This is my entry for HP Laserjet Take Flight With Colour contest organized by Indiblogger.in

There are different ways to enjoy cabbage. It goes well with salads, pasta, stir-fries, burgers, soups, and more. Most importantly, you can be sure that when you eat it, it’s going to have positive effects on your health.
Once you taste it, Coleslaw will surely be one of your favorite healthy recipes. It truly brings so much quality to your meals and your health. When it comes to cabbage recipes, Coleslaw is a must-try!
A Coleslaw recipe is not complete without carrots!
The color and flavor of carrots certainly bring out the best in this side dish. It tastes mildly sweet with a slight earthy tone to it, too. You can trust that the carrots will pair well with the cabbage.
It won’t hurt to balance all of the flavors with onions.
Coleslaw will taste so much better with the spicy and pungent quality of the onion. Whether cooked or raw, it certainly adds great quality to food. Once you add it to the dish, you will love how crisp and crunchy it is.
In this recipe, I suggest using white onions because of their mild yet sweet flavor. They are also the best onions to use for salads. The onion’s aroma will also make the dish so appetizing that everyone won’t be able to resist it.
Mix all of the tasty goodness together with mayonnaise!
There are many Coleslaw dressings you can try, and one of the simplest ones I can suggest is mayonnaise. It has the perfect balance of salty and sour flavors to coat everything.
The thick consistency of the mayonnaise also binds the food together for you to get full flavors at every bite. Mayonnaise also gives the dish a creamy texture for a great experience.
Sometimes, a classic Coleslaw is all you need for a fun time with your loved ones. This recipe is perfect for celebrations and even on ordinary days when you need comfort food!

Buying white cabbage
- An article by Experience Life states that the cabbage should feel heavy and compact.
- Furthermore, ensure that it has no blemishes, soft spots, or wilted leaves.
- Check the inner crispy leaves for rotten areas.
Storing white cabbage
- Do not wash the cabbage until you are ready to use it. Then, place it in a resealable bag and refrigerate for two months.
- Once sliced, wrap the remaining cabbage in cling film. Refrigerate and use it within three days.
- Buy carrots that feel firm with carrot tops.
- Also, ensure that they have no discoloration or cracks.
- Remove the carrot tops and store them without washing them in containers.
- They can last up to five days at room temperature and up to several weeks in the fridge.
- Buy firm onions without soft spots or discoloration.
- The skin should also feel papery yet smooth.
- Place the onions in cool and well-ventilated areas.
- Once peeled, transfer them into resealable bags to refrigerate.
You can make mayonnaise using two eggs, lemon extract, oil, and sea salt.
- First, separate the yolk and the egg white.
- Then, whisk the egg yolk with the lemon juice.
- Add a few drops of oil while mixing.
- Stir until it thickens to your desired texture.
- Season it with sea salt, and you’ve got yourself some mayo!
Add this to Coleslaw for a creamy texture!
Grating carrots without a grater
Aside from using a grater, you can achieve the same results with a food processor or a blender. Otherwise, finely chop it with a knife. As a matter of fact, you can use a V-Blade Slicer to get things done quickly!
You can always make your own version of Coleslaw.
Sometimes, a little bit of spice can go a long way. The best spices include honey, apple cider vinegar, parsley, dijon mustard, black pepper, seeds, sugar, sour cream, and more.
Mix your chosen spices with the mayonnaise before making the coleslaw to infuse the flavors in the mayo. It will also result in a unique color in the dressing. Just try different combinations to know which one you like best.
Meanwhile, you can use red, green, or savoy cabbage because of its amazing flavor and texture. You can try adding apples, bell peppers, jalapeno, dill, and more for other ingredients!
- Grater: Grate the carrots with a grater for a fine texture.
- Peeler: Remove the skin of the carrots using a peeler.
- Knife: Peel and slice ingredients with a knife.
- Cutting board: Prepare the veggies on a clean cutting board.
- Bowl: Assemble the coleslaw in a bowl.

3 IBMA 2015 Nominees: Song of the Year, Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year, AND Instrumental Recorded Performance of the Year
“Featuring four-time IBMA banjo player of the year Sammy Shelor and Brandon Rickman on guitar and lead vocals, Lonesome River Band creates modern bluegrass music that burns with passion and precision.” – Steve Stone, AUDIOPHILE
“LRB has done what few bands have done, continuously reinvented itself through the years, staying both popular and relevant.” – Keith Lawrence, BLUEGRASS NOTES

This collection is sterling proof of that.

Lonesome River Band continues their reputation as one of the most respected names in bluegrass music.

Today, The Safety Institute (TSI) announces that the Melton family will sponsor the Vehicle Safety Watch List in memory of their daughter Brooke, who died in a 2010 crash caused by a well-known ignition switch defect in her 2005 Chevy Cobalt.
“Brooke would still be alive if GM had acknowledged the ignition defect and fixed it. Brooke would be alive if the regulators had followed up on their own investigations which revealed the problem,” Ken Melton said.
“It’s clear to us that the accountability systems we have in place don’t work as well as they should. The Watch List provides another tool, another way to look at defect trends. So, we are investing in a process that can help uncover emerging problems before they take more lives and turn into a full-blown crisis and cover-up.”
Brooke Melton, 29, died when she skidded into another vehicle after the ignition module of her 2005 Cobalt slipped into the accessory position. Evidence produced in the Melton case showed that GM knew about that the ignition switch problem as early as 2001.
Brooke Melton’s 2010 death was initially deemed the result of a loss-of-control crash on a rainy night. But the Meltons’ persistence revealed GM’s longstanding knowledge that its defective ignition module that could shift out of the run position while a vehicle is underway, turning off the airbags at the same time it is cutting off the engine power, anti-lock brakes and power steering. In February 2014, after GM reported the defect and launched a limited recall, the Meltons asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to open an investigation into GM’s actions.
That investigation eventually led to $35 million in civil fines levied against GM, and nearly 15 million vehicles recalled. Congress held hearings on GM’s deception and NHTSA’s failures to probe the defect when it first learned about airbag deployment failures in 2007. The ignition switch defect is also at the center of a multi-district litigation (MDL).
In light of the more detailed picture that emerged, Ken and Beth Melton returned their original settlement and pursued GM for fraud to hold the automaker accountable and improve safety for all consumers. This case was settled in April.
The Melton’s sponsorship coincides with the release of TSI’s latest quarterly Vehicle Safety Watch List, which was established to address shortcomings in the current system. In October 2000, Congress passed the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act, intended to usher in a new era of prevention and defect monitoring. But, several internal assessments, authored by the Government Accounting Office and the Department of Transportation’s Office of the Inspector General, show that NHTSA’s investigative process and recall monitoring are inadequate
Using publicly available data such as NHTSA consumer complaints, and manufacturer reported Early Warning Reports on deaths and injuries and the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), The Safety Institute relies on peer reviewed analytic methods to identify potential motor vehicle safety defects that merit additional engineering and statistical review.
TSI’s Watch List identifies potential emerging defect trends by issue, manufacturer, and vehicle and while assessing the efficacy of the agency’s enforcement activities.
For the fourth quarter in a row, potential steering issues affecting the 2012 Ford Focus top the list. In addition, Toyota continues to occupy several spots for potential structure failures and unintended acceleration claims. General Motors vehicles remain on the list for potential service brake issues. None of these issues have been investigated by NHTSA or effectively remedied by the manufacturer. These complaints may indicate that the recall repairs were improperly performed or that they did not resolve a potential defect, or the root-cause has not been properly identified.
TSI believes the agency should be investigating the potential defect trends that continue to occupy a position on the list for four successive quarters. For example, 2012 Ford Focus has been the subject of two types of steering complaints: one may be related to a shutdown of the electronic power steering module; the other concerns a steering wheel trim piece that is cutting drivers’ hands. Both need further investigation.
“We have a commitment to wanting so see things change. We want solutions. We are happy to work with NHTSA to try and find those solutions,” Ken Melton says. “We can have a lasting impact on motor vehicle defect investigations going forward. We want to honor Brooke and advance the surveillance issue because at the end of the day it’s the failure that led to the ignition switch issue and Brooke’s death.”
Though failed by the system, the Melton’s recent settlement closes an important chapter in vehicle safety and opens another. They have paved the way for millions of consumers and changed the landscape for how manufacturers are dealing with their problems. They have been motivated to make meaningful change to prevent similar tragedies from happening to others. With the Melton family’s support TSI’s Vehicle Safety Watch List can help point to potential defect trends and alert manufacturers and NHTSA ahead of injuries and deaths. TSI urges NHTSA to better address potential vehicle safety defects to quickly act, investigate, and resolve sooner. Doing so will help ensure that we can stave these defects off in the future and learn from some of these failures going forward. Tragedies such as Brooke Melton’s don’t need to repeat themselves.
TSI is grateful for the Melton family’s support.

ISLAMABAD, Jan 20 (APP):Prime Minister Imran Khan Monday urged the traders to support the government in its endeavour to widen the tax net, terming the taxation a key to revive the national economy and dignity in the comity of nations.
Addressing the ceremony here after an agreement reached between the government and the small traders over the mechanism to register the businesses for taxation, the prime minister said the government was resolved to bring ease of doing business by removing all the official and systemic impediments.
Advisor on Finance Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, Advisor on Commerce Abdul Razzak Dawood, Special Assistant to PM on Information Dr Fidous Ashiq Awan, Federal Board of Revenue Chairman Shabbar Zaidi, Board of Investment Chairman Zubair Gilani and traders’ representatives from across the country attended the event.
Under the agreement, committees had been formed at district and sub-district levels comprising two members from the traders community and one from the government, which would assist the registration of small traders for their onward inclusion in the tax system and dispute resolution.
The prime minister said the traders had generously supported his mission of building the cancer hospital but they could not contribute to the revenue generation with that spirit just because of the complex taxation system and the government’s inability to spend the tax money on public welfare.
He said the businessmen had always complained about the corrupt tax machinery, which also harassed them once they were registered in the tax net.
He lamented the practice by previous rulers of spending the tax money to support their luxurious lifestyle which led to the loss of people’s trust in the tax system.
Contrarily, he said, the incumbent government had slashed the PM House’s expenditures by Rs 300 to 350 million and those of the PM Office by Rs 350 million. The Federal Government’s expenses had also been reduced by Rs 40 billion, besides the freezing of budget by the Pakistan Army to support the national economy.
The prime minister said he supported his household expenditures on his own salary and had set up no camp office. The foreign visits made by him incurred around 10 times lesser expenses than those by the previous rulers. Even his visit to Davos starting Tuesday would also cost ten times lesser than the ones by the prime ministers in the past.
It was just to show the realization that the country was pervaded by the poverty and it was inevitable to develop the tax culture, he added.
He said Pakistanis were one of the least tax paying nations and the country would not progress unless the people, including the business community, realized the fact.
He said the government had allocated Rs 190 billion for its anti-poverty Ehsaas programme, but it still required more tax revenue to run schools and hospitals, and provide drinking water to the people and skill training to the youth.
He said the countries bearing the debts burden could never enjoy dignity and even could not formulate an independent foreign policy. He recalled that the previous governments had been fighting the alien wars just for the sake of money and in the process made the country face far greater loss than the aid received.
He reiterated his government’s plan of industrialization by removing all obstacles in the business, though the country had already jumped by 28 points in the international ranking for ease of doing business.
He said the government had the realization of public suffering owing to the inflation and was constantly deliberating the measures to control it. It had abolished Rs 400 of GIDC on each fertilizer bag that would also help reduce the prices of eatables, he added.
Moreover, he said, the government had also abolished the licensing of 102 small businesses in order to let them flourish.
The prime minister told the gathering that the nations were destined to face tough times but they sailed through with the public support.
Lauding the efforts of his economic team, he urged the traders to own their government and resolved to put in all-out efforts for the resolution of their issues.

The tragic case of Samantha Josephson
Strangely, Greg found out that Samantha’s Uber driver had canceled the trip.
And no one was supposed to pick Samantha up the previous night.
So Greg immediately went to the police. And then he learned the horror that had happened to his girlfriend. Samantha’s body had been discovered over 60 miles away by turkey hunters.
“I found her on a dirt road near a place called New Zion field.
The more I looked at it, the more it was starting to look like a body.” — One of the turkey hunters stated.
Samantha Was a Senior College Student
Samantha Josephson was a college student. And she was a few days away from graduating from the University of South Carolina.
Samantha was an upbeat twenty-one-year-old.
However, in March 2019, she received terrible news about her family. And she was feeling depressed for a while.
Her boyfriend, Greg Corbishley, lived a little far from her. So he couldn’t be there for her physically at that moment. But the two were scheduled to see each other in a few days. Samantha’s housemates tried to cheer her up by going out with her that night.
The crew made a few stops but ended up at The Bird Dog bar.
They drank and had fun. On the 29th of March, around 2 am, Samantha waved goodbye to her friends. She then called an Uber and waited outside the bar.
Meanwhile, Samantha texted Greg the whole time. She told him that she was going home soon.
Samantha Mistook a Car for Her Uber
One car pulled up by the parking spot, and Samantha quickly got inside. She thought it was her Uber. But she quickly realized that it wasn’t and she got out. Then a fancy black car pulled up to the Uber parking spot.
Samantha assumed the fancy black car was her Uber. She climbed into the car before it even stopped.
Meanwhile, Greg watched Samantha’s trip on Find My Friends app on his phone. And he noticed something strange.
Samantha’s Uber seemed to be headed in the opposite direction from her place. Greg tried to call Samantha, but she wasn’t picking up. Samantha didn’t even raise the alarm that something was wrong.
Greg assumed that either Samantha had fallen asleep, her phone had run out of battery, or she had forgotten her phone in the Uber. So Greg called it a night and went to bed.
Greg Got Worried the Following Day
It wasn’t until the following day when Greg couldn’t reach Samantha, that he started getting worried.
Greg called Samantha’s friends, but no one had seen or heard from her since the previous night. Samantha hadn’t shown up for her morning shift at her job. Greg went out to look for Samantha.
Greg’s Find My Friends app had stopped tracking Samantha. So he started looking for Samantha at the last location the app showed.
The people at the bar let him see the footage from the previous night, but there was nothing much to see. But he soon found out that Samantha’s Uber driver had canceled the trip the previous night.
And to his knowledge, no one was supposed to come to pick Samantha up. Then Greg was called down to the police station for questioning. He told the police everything he knew and all he had found out.
The police then took Greg to a side room where Samantha’s family members were.
Samantha Was Found Dead
Greg soon learned that turkey hunters had discovered Samantha’s body.
“I had found it on a dirt road near a place called New Zion field. The more I looked at it, the more it was starting to look like a body.”
When Samantha’s body was brought in, the police couldn’t even count how many wounds she had. It was even impossible to tell the original color of her shirt. The police started investigating who was driving the car that picked up Samantha at the bar.
It was a black Chevrolet Impala.
The police soon found a car that matched the description, and they stopped it just for some routine questions. Then the driver immediately tried to run away.
But the authorities found the driver a few minutes later and arrested him. His name was Nathaniel David Rowland.
Nathaniel had once been arrested for robbery. And his car clearly showed that someone had been seriously injured inside it. The police also found bloody clothes and a woman’s hair in his house.
The DNA results matched Samantha’s.
The Police Found More Evidence Against Nathaniel
Using technology, the police continued building a solid case against Nathaniel.
Nathaniel was captured on camera when he tried to use Samantha’s bank cards. And cell phone records showed he was at the same place where Samatha was that night.
The police also found camera footage showing that Nathaniel was hanging around the Bird Dog bar around the same time Samantha was kidnapped. Nathaniel had clearly been watching Samantha while she mistook the first car for her Uber.
He drove straight to her on purpose and activated the child locks once she was inside.
Nathaniel used a two-bladed knife to stab Samantha around 120 times. He stabbed her with such brutal force that the knife went through her skull to her brain. He also stabbed her in her face, neck, torso, back, lungs, shoulders, legs, feet, etc.
Meanwhile, Samantha tried to shield herself.
Samantha bled profusely until she eventually died within 10 to 20 minutes. Then Nathaniel dragged Samantha’s body to the New Zion field.
Nathaniel was found guilty of murder and kidnapping. And he was sentenced to two life sentences without the possibility of parole plus an additional five years.
Samantha’s boyfriend has changed his career path since he lost Samantha. He is training to become a criminal prosecutor.
What happened to Samantha still haunts her family.
Samantha’s mother stated;
“When she was sad, I was sad. When she was happy, so was I. Her dreams were my dreams, and her death was my death.
I close my eyes and feel what she endured at his hands 120 times over and over and over, fighting for her life locked in his car.”

GSA has 'mistreated and betrayed' Portsmouth
The arrogance and bad faith of the federal General Services Administration in its dealings with city officials regarding the transfer of the T.J. McIntyre Building in the heart of downtown Portsmouth simply boggles the mind.
For more than 10 years, the city has been working in good faith with the federal government to gain control of the 2.16 acre site to replace the building (a classic example of the 1960s giant cheese grater style), with a development that will benefit the city's economy both in its function and its form.
A brief history reveals the extent of the GSA's double dealing.
- Jan. 23, 2004, Congress authorized and President George W. Bush signed legislation to transfer the 108,000-square-foot federal building, located at 80 Daniel St., to the city of Portsmouth "for economic development purposes."
- Nov. 20, 2006, the GSA purchased from the Pease Development Authority 11.57 acres at 234 Corporate Drive for $1.48 million to relocate the federal services now housed at the McIntyre Building. Since then it has spent an additional $2.3 million on architectural design, according to a memo from the GSA to City Manager John Bohenko.
- Aug. 3, 2010, the GSA indicates that the project has been delayed because of changing space needs and that it now plans to occupy its new building at Pease in the spring of 2014.
- Sept. 26, 2012, GSA again indicates the project must be delayed and that occupancy in the Pease building is now scheduled for spring of 2015.
- April 2013, "GSA regional administrator calls city manager and indicates president's budget eliminates funding for relocation of federal building to Pease International Tradeport," according to city memo.
- April 16, 2013, Mayor Eric Spear writes to the congressional delegation expressing the city's deep disappointment at its mistreatment at the hands of the federal government. "The consequences of the city putting its trust into the federal government's assurances of imminent relocation are the loss of significant economic redevelopment opportunities and years of wasted effort to comply with the relocation process," Spear wrote. "Most importantly, many residents' hopes and desires for a landmark development at the site will be unfairly dashed."
Not only is the GSA hurting the local economy by hogging up prime downtown real estate with untaxed government services that could be accessed far easier at a Pease site with ample parking, it has also paralyzed a prime development parcel at Pease Tradeport, which is quickly running out of commercial space and thus the federal government is also hurting state tax revenues.
Now the GSA is claiming it wants to work with the city under the "good neighbor" program.
GSA Regional Administrator Robert Zarnetske has told the Herald he's willing to work with the city to increase parking opportunities, including a potential garage.
This reminds us of the schoolyard bully who steals your lunch and then tries to make you feel better by giving you a bite of your own sandwich.
We share the sentiment expressed by City Councilor Brad Lown who said the GSA has "mistreated and betrayed" Portsmouth.
It is time for our congressional delegation to stop delegating this matter to staff members and to step in personally to right this wrong.
In recent years, our senators and representatives have been able to save the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, win funds to replace the Memorial Bridge and get Pease placed at the top of the list to receive the Air Force's next generation of refueling tankers. We're confident they are more than up to the task to getting GSA bureaucrats to keep the promise Congress and the president made to the city in 2004.

National Aeronautics and space administration (NASA) decided to postpone the launch of the Rover on the Red planet. As reported by Cnet, the reason was a technical problem.
Specifies that to send a machine to Mars failed “due to the delay of treatment that occurred during the operation of encapsulation of the spacecraft”. The Rover Perseverance and Ingenuity helicopter Packed and will be waiting for July 22. According to media reports, the delay till August 11 is not critical to the mission, but if NASA can’t send a Rover to this date, the next chance will fall no earlier than 2022 because of the position of the Earth relative to Mars.
Previously, NASA has twice cancelled the launch of the Rover.

Wheat gains as rain delays FSU planting
Wheat futures gained for the fourth time in five sessions as wet weather slowed planting in Russia and Ukraine, which is expected to reduce production in the countries. Corn rose while soybeans declined.
Russian winter grain planting will probably total 13 million hectares, down 19% from what was originally planned, after excessive rainfall kept farmers out of fields, the agriculture ministry said Monday. As of Oct. 4, only 8 million hectares were planted, according to the ministry. Wet weather has also delayed seeding in Ukraine. Declining global production may mean increased demand for wheat from the U.S., the world's largest exporter of the grain.
"Russian and Ukrainian winter crops ... are being planted now -- they had some trouble getting them in the ground because they've been too wet, and now it's turning cold," said Terry Roggensack, an agriculture specialist at The Hightower Report, an independent researcher in Chicago. "There are plenty of traders who believe the damage has been done in Russia and Ukraine."

Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures for December delivery rose 5 3/4 cents, or 0.8%, to $6.93 a bushel. Wheat on Thursday gained to the highest intraday price for a front-month contract since June 21.
U.S. wheat exports from June 1 through Sept. 19 were 40% higher than the prior year, according to the Department of Agriculture. Sales to Brazil have increased after Argentina, the usual supplier of grain to its South American neighbor, stopped exporting wheat in a bid to increase domestic supplies.
Corn futures for December delivery on the CBOT gained 4 1/4 cents, or 0.9%, to $4.47 1/2 a bushel. Little harvest progress was made over the weekend as storms in the U.S. Midwest spawned tornadoes and kept farmers out of fields, which should be supportive for prices, said Tomm Pfitzenmaier, a partner at Summit Commodity Brokerage in Des Moines, Iowa.
Soybeans for November delivery fell 2 3/4 cents, or 0.2%, to $12.92 1/2 a bushel in Chicago.

Location: Old River to Venice, LA
|PAR collected high density LIDAR along a 300+ mile corridor (from Old River to Venice, LA) of the Mississippi River. The data was used to support channel improvement, with a total project area of 500 square miles.
Data was collected during the optimum balance of low water and leaf off conditions to provide the best representation of the levees and surrounding areas. The accuracy requirements varied by land cover class, 1-foot for bare earth and open areas and two foot for vegetated areas.
The project also required processing data to support 2 epochs for data analysis at USACE. A comprehensive survey control network was designed and implemented by PAR to provide the necessary control throughout the project area.
Accuracy of the project exceeded expectations, with better than 5 cm accuracy tested against survey profiles across the levee.

Evidence Action’s Accelerator drives new program development, selecting high-potential interventions with massive opportunity for evidence-based, cost-effective impact. The Accelerator tests and refines delivery models with the goal of rapidly scaling interventions with levels of impact similar to our existing flagships.
Evidence Action exists to ensure that evidence-based, cost-effective interventions reach their scale potential – improving millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of lives. The Accelerator selects and rapidly develops programs that we anticipate will have outsized impact. To build the next generation of programs, our Accelerator focuses on two critical dimensions:
- ‘Ready to scale’ programs, where there is already a strong evidence base for the underlying intervention and where the remaining questions to resolve relate primarily to delivery at scale. In doing so, we are able to make the best possible use of our distinctive competencies and track record in at-scale delivery, thereby ensuring that our scarce resources and attention are dedicated to solutions with the highest likelihood of delivering measurable impact at scale.
- Health and adjacent sectors of WASH and nutrition, where there is a concentration of opportunities with a strong evidence base, a credible pathway to scale and high cost-effectiveness. This focus is responsive to government partner interest, leverages our groundbreaking track record of delivering such programs, and recognizes an ongoing gap in achieving delivery at scale.
Both of these focus areas are non-exclusive – the Accelerator will continue to identify and adopt a small number of earlier-stage programs that may require small scale pilots, field trials, or further replication before they are ready to be tested at scale. True to our cross-sector founding purpose, the Accelerator also remains open to opportunities in other sectors with outsized evidence base, cost-effectiveness, and scale potential.
Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation in India
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional disorder in the world, affecting more than 3.5 billion people in developing countries. In India, iron deficiency contributes to more than 50% of anemia cases. Supplementation, particularly on a weekly basis, has been shown in many studies to support increased iron absorption and reduction in anemia. In addition, weekly supplementation is cost-effective and easier to deliver as a public health intervention than other alternatives such as food fortification. India’s Weekly Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFS) program is one of the key strategies under the Government of India’s flagship program for anemia reduction, Anemia Mukt Bharat (Anemia Free India), launched in 2018 and targeting children and adolescents. However, implementation challenges have prevented WIFS from reaching its full potential in all states. In 2019, we are launching technical assistance to the Government of India and selected state governments to improve program delivery and coverage. We will seek to deliver our technical assistance within a set of states in India, with the goal of further scale up if successful.
Globally, there are nearly one million pregnant women with active syphilis infections that result in over 350,000 adverse outcomes each year, including spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, preterm birth, low birth weight, neonatal death, and congenital syphilis. A single penicillin injection can avert the majority of these adverse outcomes and new rapid fingerstick tests allow providers to screen and treat women on the day of their first antenatal care appointment. Evidence Action aims to support governments in the introduction and scale-up of a dual HIV/syphilis rapid test that allows providers to diagnose women for both infections with a single fingerstick and will allow countries to leverage their existing HIV funding to address maternal syphilis. We are currently exploring the feasibility of this approach and looking to test at scale within one, or multiple, geographies in the coming year.
Our Project Archive provides information about projects we have exited or terminated, including why we chose not to further pursue those interventions.
