How is Honey Used?
For over 8,000 years, honey has been used as a sweetener. Prior to the introduction of sugarcane from the New World in the 1400s, honey was one of the main sweeteners used in Europe. In ancient times, honey was used for a wide variety of uses, including the treatment of burns, the embalming of the dead in Egypt, burial rites in Georgia and elsewhere, and cooking in many places. (For more on these topics, see the history of honey as a food.)
Today, honey is primarily used for culinary purposes. It is a popular sweetener in baked goods because it is beneficial to the chemistry of many baking recipes. It is a popular sweetener for drinks because it is liquid, and as such is easily mixed into hot or cold drinks. It is also popular as an accompaniment to cheeses and fruits, as well as to toast, and it can be fermented into an alcoholic beverage known as mead or honey wine.
Today, honey is also used for various health reasons.
Types of Honey
Honey is usually classified by the type of flower the bees gathered nectar from in order to make it. The most common type of honey is clover honey, which has a mild, relatively neutral taste. Other types of honey include:
- Alfalfa honey, which is light with a mild flavor
- Buckwheat honey, which is dark and full-bodied
- Eucalyptus honey, which varies quite a bit, but is usually strong and somewhat medicinal in flavor and aroma
- Manuka honey, which is dark and has a medicinal flavor (and is mainly used for health reasons)
- Orange blossom honey, which is often made from a blend of citrus sources, and is usually lightly colored with a mild citrus taste
- Sage honey, which is heavy bodied, but light in color and flavor
- Tupelo honey, which has a mild but distinctive flavor and pairs well with iced drinks because it has a high fructose content and doesn't granulate unless it is extremely cold, so it dissolves in iced drinks very easily
For more information, check out this video on types and uses of honey and this chart detailing the flavor profiles of different honeys.
Raw Honey, Unfiltered Honey & Processed Honey
Honey can also be classified by how it is processed, packaged, divided for sale or left unprocessed. Here are some common types of specialty honeys:
- Chunk honey is honey that is made of one or more pieces of comb honey immersed in extracted liquid honey.
- Comb honey is honey that is still in the honeybees' wax comb. The wax is nearly flavorless, but edible.
- Creamed honey (also known as "whipped honey," "spun honey," "churned honey," "candied honey," "honey fondant" or "set honey") is honey that has been processed to control crystallization. It is spreadable and is popular on toast in the UK (where it is usually called "set honey").
- Dried honey is liquid honey that has been dried until it forms completely solid, nonsticky granules. It is primarily used as garnish for desserts.
- Crystallized honey, also known as "granulated honey" or "candied honey," is honey which has turned semi-solid either naturally or through processing. Many types of honey will naturally granulate over time, but pasteurization delays this process.
- Filtered honey is honey that has been filtered until all or almost all of the air bubbles, fine particles, pollen grains and other materials typically found in suspension have been removed. Filtered honey is clear in appearance and will not crystallize as quickly as unfiltered honey, so it is the most common process used for honey sold in supermarkets.
- Pasteurized honey is honey that has been flash-heated to 161 °F (71.7 °C) or higher. Although this process kills yeast cells and any potential bacteria in the honey, it also lowers the quality of the honey.
- Real raw honey is honey as it exists in the beehive or as it was when it was harvested by extraction, settling or straining. There is no added heat in the making of real raw honey. However, some "minimally processed" honey is also labeled as "raw honey." When taken regularly throughout the year, real, local raw honey is considered to be a natural treatment and preventative for pollen allergies.
- Strained honey is honey that has been strained through mesh to remove particulate, such as pieces of wax or propolis, without removing beneficial materials, like pollen, minerals or enzymes.
- Ultrasonicated honey is honey that has been processed by ultrasonication, a nonthermal processing alternative to pasteurization. Ultrasonication destroys most of the yeast cells that are naturally occurring in honey, thus substantially slowing the rates of crystallization and fermentation of the honey. (However, it is worth noting that honey crystallization is not harmful in any way -- it is merely a visual defect -- and honey has been known to stay "fresh" for over 100 years at a time.)
Honey Coffee Recipes
Honey is a popular sweetener for coffee. Perhaps the most famous honey-sweetened coffee drink is cafe con miel (Spanish for "coffee with honey"), but iced coffee is also commonly sweetened with honey because honey is easier to mix into iced coffee than sugar.
These coffee recipes use honey for sweetness and, sometimes, for other flavor notes:
Both honey and hot tea are often considered to be soothing to the throat. Perhaps this is part of why honey-sweetened teas are so popular. And as for iced tea -- honey is simply easier to stir in to a frosty glass of the stuff than granulated sugar ever could be!
- Iced Honey Oolong Tea
- Ginger Teas (such as Honey-Lemon Ginger Tea)
- Honey-Strawberry Iced Green Tea
- Raspberry-Honey Iced Tea
- Jasmine Tea-Lemonade With Honey
- Honey-Tea Hot Toddy
- Russian Spiced Tea With Honey
- Lemon-Honey Yerba Mate
- Hazelnut-Honey Yerba Matte Latte
- Rooibos Chai With Honey
- Turmeric "Tea" With Honey
- Korean Citrus "Tea" With Honey
Honey is a key ingredient in many recipes. For example, two condiments (Honey Mustard and Honey-Dijon Salad Dressing) are given their namesake differentiating flavor in the form of honey. Here are some food recipes that heavily feature honey:
- Honey-Vanilla Ice Cream
- Honey Truffles
- Chocolate-Dipped Honeycomb
- Cream Cheese & Honey Truffles
- Peanut-Honey Toffee
- Honey Fondant
- Almond-Honey Nougat
- Honey-Almond Clusters
- Honey-Roasted Peanuts
- Honey-Roasted Almonds (video recipe)
- Peanut Butter & Honey Coffee Cake
- Clover Honey Dough Recipe
- Greek Pistachio Honey Cake
- Ukrainian Christmas Honey Cake
- Honey Tea Bread
- Kosher Honey Cake (video recipe)
- Honey-Tofu Smoothie
- Blackberry, Blueberry & Honey Smoothie

HAGERMAN, TEXAS. Hagerman is on a spur off Farm Road 1417 eight miles northwest of Sherman in north central Grayson County. In the early 1870s settlers came to the community, which became a center for area farmers. It was originally called Steedman, in honor of county judge S. D. Steedman, and its post office, established in 1880, was called Steedman until 1909. When the tracks of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad reached the community in 1909, its name was changed to Hagerman, to honor railroad attorney James Hagerman. The community post office closed sometime after 1930. In the 1930s and 1940s Hagerman's population was reported as 150. Though most of the townsite was submerged under Lake Texoma in 1944, Hagerman is marked on the 1970 county highway map by a church, and, several miles away, a cemetery.

In January 1521, the Pope Leo X excommunicated Luther. He was then summoned to appear at the Diet of Worms, an assembly of the Holy Roman Empire. He refused to recant and Emperor Charles V declared him an outlaw and a heretic. Luther went into hiding at Wartburg Castle.
How did the Roman Catholic Church respond after Luther refused to recant his views?
In June 1520 Pope Leo X condemned 41 of Luther’s Ninety-five Theses, but he also gave Luther time to recant. In response, Luther publicly burned the papal bull and refused to renounce his propositions. He was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church on January 3, 1521.
What happened when Luther refused to renounce his ideas?
In January 1521, Pope Leo X excommunicated Luther. Three months later, Luther was called to defend his beliefs before Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms, where he was famously defiant. For his refusal to recant his writings, the emperor declared him an outlaw and a heretic.
Why did Luther refuse to recant at the Diet of Worms?
Martin Luther was summoned to the Diet in order to renounce or reaffirm his views in response to a Papal bull of Pope Leo X. In answer to questioning, he defended these views and refused to recant them.
What happened when Martin Luther tried to reform the Catholic Church?
Martin Luther challenged the Catholic Church by saying that the pope could not decide if someone could go to heaven or not. He challenged the pope’s authority and this lead to the creation of new churches in Western Europe. … An indulgence reduced the penalty of the churches punishment for a sin.
What did Martin Luther do after being excommunicated?
In January 1521, the Pope Leo X excommunicated Luther. He was then summoned to appear at the Diet of Worms, an assembly of the Holy Roman Empire. He refused to recant and Emperor Charles V declared him an outlaw and a heretic. … Luther died on 18 February 1546 in Eisleben.
Is Martin Luther still excommunicated?
Luther died in 1546 with Pope Leo X’s excommunication still in effect.
|Died||18 February 1546 (aged 62) Eisleben, County of Mansfeld, Holy Roman Empire|
|Education||University of Erfurt|
Does Luther recant in worms when demanded to?
Martin Luther, the chief catalyst of Protestantism, defies the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V by refusing to recant his writings. He had been called to Worms, Germany, to appear before the Diet (assembly) of the Holy Roman Empire and answer charges of heresy.
Who protected Martin Luther after the Diet of Worms?
At a crucial period for the early Reformation, Frederick protected Luther from the Pope and the emperor, and took him into custody at the Wartburg castle after the Diet of Worms (1521), which put Luther under the imperial ban.
Why did the pope put a bounty on Luther’s head?
He also questioned the church’s ban against married priests. Further, Luther believed that the Church placed far too much importance on worshiping Mary, the mother of Jesus. … Luther was deemed a heretic, excommunicated from the Church, and a bounty was placed on his head.
Is Luther right to protest against the church Why?
Luther believed indulgences to be unbiblical because, he claimed, salvation came by grace through faith (Hebrews 10:38), not by a papal proclamation or indulgence. Luther protested the sale of indulgences by nailing his “95 Theses” against their distribution to the door of Wittenburg Castle Church on October 31, 1517.
What happened to Luther on his way back to Wittenberg?
Meanwhile, on his journey back to Wittenberg, Luther was “kidnapped” by soldiers of Frederick and taken secretly to Wartburg Castle, near the town of Eisenach, where he remained in hiding for the better part of a year. … Luther’s translation profoundly affected the development of the written German language.
What did Luther not like about the Catholic Church?
Luther had a problem with the fact the Catholic Church of his day was essentially selling indulgences — indeed, according to Professor MacCulloch, they helped pay for the rebuilding of Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Later, Luther appears to have dropped his belief in Purgatory altogether.
What did Luther’s 95 Theses say?
Dr Martin Luther used these Theses to display his unhappiness with the Church’s sale of indulgences, and this eventually gave birth to Protestantism. It especially defied the teachings of the Church on the nature of penance, the authority and power of the pope and the efficacy of indulgences.
Did Martin Luther change the Bible?
Luther’s translation of the Bible made the text accessible to the ordinary German for the first time, and helped shape the nascent Reformation. With its striking linguistic style, it also helped form the German language, unifying regional dialects and helping the Germans develop a stronger national identity.
Why did Martin Luther break away from Catholicism?
It was the year 1517 when the German monk Martin Luther pinned his 95 Theses to the door of his Catholic church, denouncing the Catholic sale of indulgences — pardons for sins — and questioning papal authority. That led to his excommunication and the start of the Protestant Reformation.

Miami University became a cashless campus this summer in an attempt to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Geno Svec, executive director of campus services and chief hospitality officer, wrote in an email to The Miami Student that the university made the decision to eliminate the sharing of items like bills and coins that are easily spread and difficult to clean.
According to the Campus Services Center’s website, the move to a cashless campus began on July 1. Students must now use other methods of payment on campus including their Miami ID, credit cards, debit cards and virtual wallets.
David Lindequist, an assistant professor of economics, said the use of a student ID payment method helps make Miami’s decision to go cashless possible.
“We are a university with a university infrastructure,” Lindequist said. “Every student should have a Miami ID card. I know that many students already do lots of things with the Miami ID card and the associated systems.”
For students who may not have cashless payment options, Miami is providing an alternative. Svec said students will be able to exchange cash for a reloadable payment card inside the Conference and Event Services suite at the Shriver Center.
Lindequist explained that going cashless could create a cost reduction for the university by eliminating the need to handle, count and transport cash. Svec said the decision is permanent and was made for safety concerns, and he believes it has been well received.
Sophomore Hank Lazzaro said although he understands the reasoning behind the decision, he is opposed to its permanence.
“I'm just not a fan long term mainly because I know a lot of people just have cash on hand, and it kind of sucks you can't spend it,” Lazzaro said. “It's a little bit frustrating.”
In addition, Lazzaro said he found out about Miami’s decision to go cashless through a student’s social media post and not from the university.
He said that he thinks it would be beneficial if the university made more of an effort to make the transition known.
“I do think that when it comes to monetary policy – especially since we're, like, in the middle of the pandemic and everyone's in a different economic situation – stuff like that would be at the forefront,” Lazzaro said.

First-year Nolan Wilson said that although he is currently unaffected by the decision due to the fact that he’s not on campus, he doesn't see it being a large problem.
“I pay with my card most of the time,” Wilson said. “It could be a little inconvenient, but I doubt it would affect me a lot.”
Lindequist said that legally, Miami can do as it pleases with its payment policy, but it’s going to be up to the students to determine the outcome of a cashless campus.
“I think the benefits outweigh the costs slightly,” Lindequist said. “But to ultimately judge if this is a good or bad thing, I think students will have to decide.”

I am very pleased to pass on this notice of the next GAAS presentation by Dr. Jim D’Angelo. Jim will give a Powerpoint talk on his recent visit to Cueva de la Pileta in Spain, one of the few Paleolithic caves in Europe still open to the public.
The cave is located in the Andalucia region in the Sierra Nevada mountain range 12 kilometers from Ronda, Spain’s oldest city. In the cave are ancient drawings of deer, horses, fish, goats, bulls, and abstract figures thought to be related to a lunar calendar. The cave has been occupied from the Upper Paleolithic through the Moorish period by both Cro-Magnon and Homo sapiens residents. The presentation will begin at 7:30 PM, November 9th, at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History (located on Clifton Road, just north of Ponce de Leon).
Dr. D’Angelo has more than 40 years of archaeological experience in CRM, academia, and post retirement. Last year he retired from TRC where he directed archaeological surveys, testing, and data recovery projects. In 2005, he helped to organize the Gwinnett Archaeological Research Society (GARS), a Chapter of the SGA, where he served as the archaeological advisor. GARS is perhaps best known for its important work on the Fort Daniel site; Jim has directed the field and laboratory work related to Fort Daniel and he is President of the Fort Daniel Foundation, created to conserve this site.
If you would like to join the speaker for dinner prior to the meeting, we will be dining at Benedetti’s Italian Restaurant, 2064 N. Decatur Road (northwest corner of N. Decatur Road and Clairmont Road) at 5:30 PM. Please let me know as soon as possible if you will be joining the group so we can reserve a table or tables.

Youssou N’Dour (pronounced, ‘Jusu n du’), the Senegalese singer, born 1 October 1959 in Dakar, is one of the most famous and celebrated African singers in history. Youssou began performing at the age of 12 and and a few years later, found himself joining The Star Band, one of Senegal’s most popular musical ensembles. Youssou N’Dour went on to form his own group, Etoile de Dakar, and his rise to international superstardom started from there. He was nominated for a Grammy in 1994 for ‘7 seconds’, a duet with Neneh Cherry. In 2005, he won a Grammy Award for his album Egypt, and Rolling Stone magazine named his 2007 album, Rokku Mi Rokka, as one of the Top 50 Albums of the Year.
His musical contribution has greatly impacted the face of Senegalese music with energetic beats called Mbalax. He has become an activist for Africa, campaigning for AIDS awareness and speaking against corruption and genocide. Now decades into his musical career, he is about to release a new album and continues to entertain his fans across the world. We tracked him down in Senegal and he spared some time to answer our questions.
What are you currently working on now? Is a new album round the corner?
The new album is called “Dakar – Kingston”; it is a reggae album that I recorded in Tuff Gong studios Jamaica and it is produced by Tyrone Downie, the ex wailer.
For those who do not know your music, how would you classify your music genre, How would you describe your music?
People like to say world music, I just call it African music, more specifically Senegalese music, even this reggae album is melted with Senegalese percussions and Senegalese vibes!
BBC has named you the best African musician of all time, and In 2007, Time Magazine named you one of 100 most influential people, How do you think your music has influenced people in Africa or Africans globally?
My music or my different actions with organizations like Amnesty international, UNICEF, FAO, today we cannot be just artists, we have a responsibility as artists to make things move forward, and I like to do so.
With over 30 years in music, what/who has inspired you the most in your success?
Nelson Mandela will always be “the man” for me, our father. But of course a lot of people have inspired me, musically, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, and old
traditional African artists
What do you consider to be the biggest professional lesson you learned along the way?
My first international tour with my friend Peter Gabriel, we learned so much and so quick on his side. We learned to become professional, to pay attention to the contracts, to be on time for interviews or on stage, etc… and especially, when I started to tour with Peter, I learned that the lyrics of my song counted. I mean, before, I sang my country, my family, when we did the human rights now tour together, I realized that I had a big opportunity to deliver strong messages in my lyrics.
Do you have a favorite song of which you are most proud of and why?
New Africa is one my favorite songs, I think it’s a powerful song, it tells the story of people like Kwame Nkrumah, or Cheikh Anta Diop, as well as Steven Biko, people who died for their battles, who fight for their people.
Your music often portrays your strong cultural roots. What makes you proud to be a Senegalese, and African?
When people and media talk about Africa, it’s always to talk about poverty, AIDS or war, but it’s not only that. We have a very rich culture, tradition. We have story tellers called griots, I’m proud to be one of them, like my grand mother and my mother were, I‘m just a modern griot.
Will we be seeing you performing in the USA again soon?
I hope soon with my new album, probably beginning of next year.
What do you do to relax?
I relax in the planes ! My phone cannot ring, it’s the best rest for me!

Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) carried 7.963 million passengers in 2019, a 0.6 per cent decrease on the previous year’s performance. Despite that, the country’s flag carrier remains the undisputed leader among Ukraine’s airlines.
The traffic reduction follows a flight optimisation programme that the airline’s new management initiated last autumn in an effort to turn it around, with the total number of flights cut by 4.6 per cent to 58,600, the airline told avianews.com outlet.
In the period, passenger numbers on domestic and long-haul international flights continued to increase, whilst a 4.7 per cent decline was registered on core medium-haul international flights, which generated 5.313 million passengers, the bulk of UIA’s entire traffic. The remaining passengers travelled on the airline’s charter flights (1.27 million, up 15.4 per cent year-on-year), long-haul (662,700 passengers, up by 9.7 per cent) and domestic flights (960,400 passengers, up 2.3 per cent). The carrier’s average seat load factor improved by 1.3 percentage points, reaching 81.8 per cent, and as high as 92.1 per cent on charter flights. The share of transfer passengers decreased somewhat, from 52.6 per cent in 2018 to 50.5 per cent.
Furthermore, UIA is to continue adjusting its capacity until it climbs out of the red, the airline’s president Evgeniy Dykhne revealed to avianews.com, emphasising that the airline will resume fleet expansion only once the route network is optimised.
From the 42 aircraft in operation in 2019, only 34 will remain in the airline’s fleet this year. In November 2019, as part of the optimisation initiative, two wide-body Boeing 767s were phased out and, tragically, one of UIA’s Boeing 737-800s (registration UR-PSR) was lost in a crash in Iran after being struck by a missile on January 8 this year. Additionally, three Boeing 737-800s will be returned to the lessor when their lease contracts expire in February and in March, followed by a further two before the end of this year. “We are counting on resuming our fleet expansion once the loss-making routes have been closed and the network is optimised, which should result in making UIA profitable again,” Dykhne insists.
Once the four -800s leave the fleet, Ukraine International Airlines will have 19 Boeing 737-800s, four Boeing 737-900ERs, two Boeing 767-300ERs, three Boeing 777-200ERs, two Embraer 195s and five Embraer 190s.
In 2019, with its total of 7.963 million passengers, UIA nevertheless maintained its indisputable leadership role among Ukraine’s airlines, followed by Azur Air Ukraine, which carried 1.74 million passengers last year, and SkyUp with 1.7 million.

There was plenty to do on a clear, sunny day at the Shipman Homecoming July 22.
As part of a tradition that began in 1957, a giant picnic served up a variety of food and fun on its menu.
There is so much history here that I couldn’t do it justice in a short paragraph ,” said social media manager Lori Hopkins.
The Homecoming celebration was born when a group of women came together to improve the community 66 years ago. They cleaned up the park, built a pavilion and stage, brought in the Little Red Schoolhouse and added the museum. They also brought programs to schools and entertained many – far and wide – with their unique look and engaging performances using instruments that they had built out of kitchen gadgets.
The Homecoming board had been brainstorming an idea of utilizing a new pavilion for years. Beginning last summer, that time had come.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held the evening of July 21, followed by a tribute to the Kitchen Klatter Band.
SAPA President Steve Reed brought some laughs and some emotional gratitude that night as well, giving thanks to the many who contributed to the improvements of the park, from corporate sponsors, donors and volunteers.
A 5k-Fun Run was the kickoff for July 22, when approximately 40 participants walked for pleasure or ran for gold. The event was coordinated by Deb Mansfield, an experienced runner that had participated in many 5ks.
Breakfast was a big hit as well. Eggs, biscuits & gravy, and sausage with coffee or water were on sale for a discounted deal of eight bucks.
A car show, promoted by Jason Cox, featured a total of 78 vehicles.
The Kidz Zone, arranged by Carol Burns Loy, included a full-sized tent with loads of games and activities. Additionally, a magician and balloon artist were entertaining little ones throughout the park.
The food stand was open for lunch and dinner as well. Menu items included catfish, buffalo, and pork chop sandwiches, as well as plenty of delicious desserts from which to choose.
“Our fabulous attendees come with the expectation of getting some pretty good grub,” said Hopkins. “We have some pretty spectacular volunteers behind the scenes and donors who bring various food items and supplies, including some of the best desserts. Nancy and Ben Stinnett dedicate much time to preparing for this event. And it takes many volunteers to make it all happen.”
Jersey County Corn Hole coordinated a tournament of 60 players.
Inflatables were enjoyed by kids of all ages as well. The area was complete with a bounce house, obstacle course, slide, and four water-themed fortresses.
“We could not be happier with Bounce Happy Rentals and highly recommend,” Hopkins said. “The owner, Matt, was on site and engaged at every turn. This was definitely the big hit with kids.”
As expected, the Shipman parade was “mighty with many from the community and surrounding areas showing up in style.” However, the board looks to elevate it even higher by promoting a grand float-building challenge for 2024.
Other attractions included axe-throwing, a Farm & Home Museum that exhibited blasts from the past, a Beer Garden and a live country rock performance courtesy of The Glendale Riders.
This year’s Homecoming attracted a record crowd and welcomed 25 vendors with the help of Randy Darr, Melinda Barnard, and Charlotte Erwin. The picnic also featured carnival food stands that served shaved ice, lemonade shake-ups, funnel cakes, foot-long corndogs and pork rinds.
Overall, the Shipman community raised approximately $25,140.50.
“We couldn’t have been blessed with a better weekend,” Hopkins said. “Many were in attendance and the weather was perfect. We are so grateful for the many who came out. We believe it was our best crowd. With a new pavilion and food line, we knew we’d be a work in progress. Going into the day, we expected to experience some challenges with efficiency, but the people were wonderful, patient and supportive, and excited about the beautiful new facility. Additionally, it was reported by the cleaning crew that the crowd was super tidy, as there was little trash on the grounds. Now that’s a reflection of beautiful people from the surrounding community as well as ours.”
“In the words of Helen Keller,” concluded Hopkins. “……alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

The number of properties sold in Spain in 2022 increased by 6.1% and prices were up by 7.2% compared to 2021, according to official stats released yesterday by Spain’s Notaries. Regionally, the two which stand out in terms of volume of properties sold in 2022 were the Canary Islands with +26.9% and the Valencian Community with +14.0%. Andalucia was +2.7%
Although I haven’t studied the full breakdown, according to the press release.. “2022 showed a marked cooling, with increases in the first quarter that were diluted or reversed in the last quarter of the year,” echoing what many agents experience on the ground here on the Costa del Sol.
As we predicted it was a year of two halves, in fact figures for December 2022 show that the sale of homes decreased by 17.8% year-on-year, with average prices practically stable (0.5%).

Collective Thomson Scattering below the electron cyclotron frequency in ITER
The possibility of diagnosing the alpha particle distribution in ITER by means of Collective Thomson Scattering (CTS) using microwaves below the electron cyclotron frequency is investigated. With respect to other schemes, using much shorter wavelengths (e.g. 10 to 200 Ám), this method combines some important advantages, i.e. the availability of the appropriate wave sources, the simplicity of the scattering geometry and the possibility of space resolved measurements. The useful frequency range for this method is limited by refraction effects and by the noise due to spontaneous electron cyclotron emission (ECE). The constraints are evaluated by means of a ray tracing / radiation code, over a wide range of typical ITER parameters. As a result of this general study, a proposal is made for a relatively simple CTS system for ITER parameters, using backscattering of extraordinary waves in the frequency range 60 to 80 GHz. This method allows, in principal, spatially resolved measurements, requiring partial occupation of a equatorial port only.

One of Illinois’ Most Popular Christmas Attractions is Coming Back for 2023
Ready for some great holiday news?!? The Polar Express Train Ride is coming back to Chicago this December, and you won't want to miss your chance to jump on board!
2023 Christmas Count Down
Everywhere you look there are signs that the 2023 holiday season is coming in hot, but a big one for me is when our neighbors down the street put up the inflatable, Christmas countdown snowman in their yard.
This special snowman officially made his appearance last week, and now my kids force us to drive by their house daily to see how many days are left. (FYI...as of this morning it says 70 days until Christmas).
Christmas arrived at retail stores weeks ago, but now we're starting to see "save the dates" for our favorite holiday events so I'm officially chomping at the bit for all the fun to begin!
The Polar Express Train Ride Returns to Chicago
The Polar Express Train Ride at Chicago's Union Station is one holiday event I always hear people raving about but have not had the chance to take my kids to yet. I went to buy tickets in 2022 but sadly learned The Polar Express Train was canceled due to staffing issues. My kids were bummed and so was I, but it's coming back this December, and tickets are on sale now!
Here's how the experience is described on the event's website;
THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride is a magical re-creation of the classic children’s story led by a cast of talented actors on board a real train. Have your golden tickets ready for the Conductor! Passengers are served hot chocolate and Walker's Shortbread by dancing chefs, enjoy a reading of the classic book by Chris Van Allsburg, and receive the First Gift of Christmas after Santa boards the train to greet families. Performers engage passengers in caroling and fun holiday activities on the heartwarming trip back to the station.
The Polar Express Train Ride will begin departing from Union Station in Chicago on Sunday, December 3, 2023, and will run through January 1, 2024. You can choose from five different ride times on Saturdays and Sundays, and 4 different ride times Tuesday - Friday (it's closed on Mondays except January 1).
Tickets are on sale now, but rumor has it they will likely sell out by the end of October, so get yours NOW at chicagothepolarexpressride.com.
Here's some more inspiration for 2023 holiday fun in Illinois...

The hotel was nice and modern. They accomodated our request to change out check in date and even upgraded our room at no charge. The room was clean eventhough not to my standards. The oven was dirty from the last guests and I guess housekeeping didn't notice. We fixed the tray in the fridge which was inserted backwards and a lamp was broken but replaced ASAP. The beds are too soft though. There was not enough personnel at the front desk when we complained that the pool was overrun by a dozen unsupervised tweens. But overall a good place for a large family with children. I would stay here again.

Mohamed Younes Rabah To Face Saemapetch At ONE Fight Night 17; Felipe Lobo Out With Injury
ONE’s historic all-Muay Thai card has seen a shake-up.
Brazilian striker Felipe Lobo is injured and has withdrawn from his scheduled bantamweight Muay Thai rematch with Saemapetch Fairtex at ONE Fight Night 17: Kryklia vs. Roberts on Prime Video.
Replacing him is undefeated Algerian athlete Mohamed Younes Rabah, who will make his promotional debut in U.S. primetime on Friday, December 8.
The 26-year-old Rabah fights out of the highly respected Team Mehdi Zatout and has made a name for himself on the ultra-competitive Middle Eastern kickboxing and Muay Thai scene to earn his spot in the world’s largest martial arts organization.
Standing at a towering 6-foot-2, Rabah will put his explosive brand of striking and 13-0 professional record up against the stiffest test of his career to date.
Saemapetch is currently ranked #3 in the crowded bantamweight Muay Thai division, using his massive punching power and wealth of high-level experience – honed throughout 126 career victories – to establish himself as one of the sport’s most feared strikers.
The Thai superstar has won three of his last four appearances, with his only loss in that stretch coming against Lobo.
He’ll now look to build on that momentum and take out the Algerian newcomer to keep his coveted spot in the rankings and remain within reach of ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Jonathan “The General” Haggerty.


About This File
Time to get crazy! Rob Morris ran this truck from the late 80s to early 90s, earning himself USHRA rookie of the year along with multiple event victories. He would later use a second truck, Red Racer, as an alternate body.
This repli-custom pack continues my modern re-imaginings of classic 90s monsters which began with Invader. This is my first ground up build of a truck and I'm very proud of how it turned out! Huge thanks to @Garrett Hanson for testing the truck and helping me through numerous issues!
Feel free to use in any events/leagues
Ctrl + 1/2 for RII
If I missed anyone in the credits, let me know and I'll update.
Thanks and enjoy!
What's New in Version 1.1.0

Indulge in a cocoa adventure with our Hot Chocolate Bombs!
Bursting with marshmallow magic and a sprinkle of gold fairy dust, these enchanting treats make sipping your hot chocolate an unforgettable experience. With three captivating colours to choose from, transform your cosy moments into whimsical wonders.
Get ready to sip, swirl, and sparkle.
Take your future into your own hands with our new Crystal Ball Gin. Just give the bottle a gentle swirl and as you lose yourself in the glistening, shimmering spirit... all will be revealed.
Proudly distilled in England, this enigmatic potion perfectly blends together notes of cherry and hibiscus for a delicately sweet and floral palette. While subtle hints of elderberry introduce a tart balance and endow the gin with its striking purple hue.
But that's not all – at the touch of a button, a light concealed within the base of the orb-shaped bottle illuminates the spirit to create a mystical glittery glow. Suffice to say, it's an otherworldly drinking experience and it deserves to be front and centre in your drinks cabinet - or at least in a prominent space to catch the eye of curious passers-by.
It's the perfect gift for gin connoisseurs, budding psychics, or anyone who's into fortune-telling and what mysteries the future may hold.
And they're therapeutic for both men and women!
When the moment strikes, just give these balls a pulverising squeeze and know that if this was real life, the owner of the testicles would be paralysed with fear and pain, dry-heaving and wishing for a swift death. What a calming thought.
Stop playing trouser billiards like a mucky little ape! It might feel wonderfully relaxing but it's horrific to watch. Keep your hands off your – in all probability – unwashed balls and relieve yourself with this rubber prosthesis instead.*
*although don't stop checking them for lumps n' that. Maybe do it in the shower.
The aptly named ISAKOK Japanese incense sticks are a lie. Inside this cylinder is in fact a 2 and a half foot penis projectile, complete with hairy balls, that will launch itself into the face of anyone who releases it. The Cock Cannon prank gift is the perfect addition to hen parties, birthdays, or even Valentine’s Day (if you’re brave enough).
Draw a card and you’ll find a series of incomprehensible words - e.g. ‘though wok calves aim’. Say it. It sounds like ‘the walk of shame’! Don’t worry if you couldn’t work it out though, it’s written on the back of the card. Mind you, that doesn’t bode well for your performance in-game. You’ll have to tune your ears to ‘gibberish’.
With 500 cards and 3 categories to play through, you'll be mishearing stuff for years to come. It’s extremely fun, it’s exceptionally irritating, and it’s a portable game anyone can play. What more could you want?!
This magical gin liqueur is bursting with juicy blackberries, plump spicy juniper berries, fat bouquets of verdant coriander and glistening sticks of liquorice - not forgetting the sparkly fragments of the galaxy that crashed down to Earth to be ingested by these majestic beasts.
It’s true, shooting stars are packed full of glitter. The amount of shimmery stuff doubles when naturally processed by sad unicorns. The sorrow of having to munch their way through crispy space rocks before they can resume their normal diet increases the potency of glitter and deliciousness. That’s just #science.
Swish this around, watch the gorgeous glittery galaxy swirl into action like a holographic milky way, and give thanks to the unicorns who cried so that you might party hard.

About 30 people were at the base. It was very subdued. Many wore black. The ages ranged from triplets (almost 3 years old) to elderly.
A VT state police officer and canine were parked close to the base camp on Bayley-Hazen Road.
A larger contingent apparently were on Route 100 and on the mountaintop. The mourners formed a circle at the base camp in the open field before wending their way, single file, up the steep slope.
The mountain is extremely dry (much different from when I hiked in the fall). It is as if Mother Earth has shed all her tears during that last storm.
A lone crow cawed in the distance, symbolic of death, nature’s metaphor contrasting to the sounds of motors and bleating beeps, warnings of dangers not visible through the trees.
Cody Michaels did a reading of “Crazy Horse” by John Trudell.
The ceremony on the platform was very quiet — beautiful poetry readings, statements, offerings of flowers, a very moving Sanskrit chant that vibrated through the trees and rocks. The ambiance was one of healing, forgiveness, sadness, transformation.
The mournful, eternal sound of a conch shell floated across the mountain top. Its brevity, a reminder of how we all are just blips on an infinite timeline. The mountain will be there, reborn, long after we have all passed on.
The mood was quite different from Monday.

Labour MP Simon Danczuk has lodged a formal complaint with the Essex force over the allegations.
The Energy Secretary was not an MP at the time of the alleged incident and denied the claims when they were printed in newspapers last weekend.
"We can confirm we have received an e-mail regarding a speeding offence in 2003," Essex Police said in a statement.
"This information will be passed to officers who will decide on whether an investigation will be launched.
"We take allegations such as this one extremely seriously, and will take action where necessary."
Police are expected to examine the case for an investigation today.
Mr Huhne was an MEP at the time of the alleged incident. There was no immediate comment from his office. However, he has previously said the allegations are untrue.
Yesterday, two newspapers claimed to have obtained a tape of a phone call in which the Energy Secretary allegedly warned the person who was said to have taken the points on his behalf not to talk to the press and let "the genie" out of the bottle.
A former journalist and City worker, Mr Huhne has been spoken of as a possible leader of the Liberal Democrat party - given the growing unpopularity of Nick Clegg.
Mr Huhne has twice run for the leadership, coming a close second to Mr Clegg in 2007.
The election was fraught with allegations of dirty tricks and commentators say the relationship between Mr Huhne and the party leader continues to be strained.
Recently, Mr Huhne was an enthusiastic supporter of the Yes to AV campaign.
He attracted controversy for attacking anti-AV campaigners such as Conservative Party chairman Baroness Warsi.
He said: "If Baroness Warsi thinks that AV will benefit fascism she has to explain why the BNP wants to stick with what we have and Operation Black Vote supports AV.
"The BNP know the present system is their only chance of election. This is another example of the increasingly Goebbels-like campaign from the anti-AV people, for whom no lie is too idiotic given the truth is so unpalatable to them.
"AV makes lazy MPs work harder and reach out beyond their tribe. It is what Britain needs to clean up politics."
In 2003, Mr Huhne was banned from driving for three months after being caught speaking on his mobile phone while driving in London.
His wife took over responsibility for driving him during the ban period.If it is proven that he lied to the police about who was driving during the 2003 incident, he could face jail.
Mr Huhne split from his wife of 26 years last year after it was revealed he was in a relationship with former spin doctor Carina Trimingham.

MOSCOW, December 19. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia’s stock market has reacted by a growth to the decision of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to pardon Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
The MICEX index jumped from 1,497.8 to 1,507.7.
Earlier it was reported that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin announced his intention to sign a petition to pardon former head of Yukos Mikhail Khodorkovskiy.
After his ‘grand’ press conference, Putin said: “he spent over 10 years behind bars, I believe that a decision has to be made (to pardon him).”
“This petition will soon be granted,” he promised.
Putin reminded that convicted have a legal right to submit a petition for a pardon. “He (Khodorkovskiy) has not done it, but very recently a pardon request has been made (on his behalf),” the president said.

I had a completely different vegetarian dish slotted for tonight's meal. I checked out some vegetarian cookbooks at the library and I had a different recipe for portobello pasta marked to try for dinner. Well, I realized I did not purchase everything I needed for the cookbook recipe at the grocery store today. Ugh. I don't have anything thawed to switch up my menu, so I am stuck making something with portobello mushrooms (hardly a hardship, I know). What to do???? Steal an idea from Claire, of course! Seriously, my dinner plans would be really boring most of the time if I could not draft off of Claire's ideas. Hooray Claire. She mentioned that her family liked this recipe when we were talking about mushrooms earlier today. It seems easy and it looks like I have everything on hand to make it. Her blog notes indicate that it was a keeper, so I thought I would give it a try, too. I will let you know how it goes!
Portobello Penne Pasta Casserole
1 (8 ounce) package uncooked penne pasta
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 pound portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1/4 cup soy sauce
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place pasta in the pot, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
3. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the mushrooms, cook 1 minute, and set aside. Melt margarine in the saucepan. Mix in flour, garlic, and basil. Gradually mix in milk until thickened. Stir in 1 cup cheese until melted. Remove saucepan from heat, and mix in cooked pasta, mushrooms, spinach, and soy sauce. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, and top with remaining cheese.
4. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly and lightly brown.
I don't have margarine, so butter will have to work. I think I will just serve this with a side salad. Yum. It sounds really good!
This was fantastic. Soooooo yummy and a total keeper! Easy and delicious. I am too tired for witty commentary, so I will just leave it at that. Thanks again, Claire!

Expecting puppies December 7-14.... Call or email for more details and photos. See ad in Classifieds
Submitted by: Tim Keeney on Aug 20, 2018
After researching Griffons and a number of breeders in the midwest, I contacted Gene before Mila was bred and stopped by to visit her and his two other Griffs. He was very accommodating and then kept me updated on the breeding and pregnancy. I visited our pup 8 days after she was born and then we picked her up at about 9.5 weeks old. Gene kept us updated with photos and videos during the early weeks of her life. Sadie is almost 12 weeks old now and has settled into our home with no problems at all. She has had only 1/2 an accident in the house (she squatted and I picked her up and got her outside with only a few drops on the floor) and has developed a great routine for meals and "doing her business;" remarkable so such a young dog. She gets along well with our 13 year old female yellow Lab and has a delightful personality; curious, smart, and energetic while still willing to cuddle and have her tummy rubbed...a lot! She is compliant with personal care (checking eyes, ears, mouth, paws, nails) and grooming. She has also learned to sit on command and is becoming accustomed to walking on a leash (though it's early for that). We're looking forward to starting obedience training with Sadie and to her being a part of our family for many years. In fact, I suspect we'll be seeing Gene for another pup when our older Lab departs for the great beyond (if that's okay with you, Gene!).

We have purchased two Griffs from Gene and couldn’t be happier. Our first griff is now almost 3 years old and is the best dog we have ever owned. She has an excellent temperament and is extraordinarily smart. We recently purchased our second pup from Gene and she, just like Sheila, is intelligent, has a perfect disposition and is fearless. Like typical Griffs, both girls are fun loving and goofy, but are fiercely loyal.
The process of purchasing the dogs was extraordinarily easy and Gene is wonderful about communicating and sharing pictures. We highly recommend him if you are thinking of purchasing a griff in the future.

Gene was an absolute pleasure to buy our puppy from. He was very accommodating and always quick to answer questions. He sent pictures and shared videos while our pup was still with her mama. The puppy package was also very thorough, from registration forms to the food sample the puppy is used to. I could tell he cared not only about the pups, but us as well. Our pup quickly became a treasured member of our family.

We had a great experience with getting our puppy from Fiji Islands. He is healthy, crate and potty trained easy, was pointing from day 1, and is a good family member. We are happy we chose to work with Gene!

Gene was great to work with! He breeds beautiful, health, well cared for puppies. Gene was very flexible with us finding a time to pick up our puppy. He has provided us with plenty of info on the breed and raising a new puppy. Truman is a great addition to our family.

I would highly recommend Liberty Griffons. Gene (breeder) demonstrated that his first and foremost concern with his breeding is the well being of the breed as well as exceptional care of each litter (mom as well). His pups are only placed in healthy environments and that is made perfectly clear and obvious (nice to see the welfare of dog is priority not the income). He has well socialized and prepared his pups for the outside world, great interaction, not sound sensitive (good for the hunting world), they also demonstrate INCREDIBLE HUNTING INSTINCTS ALREADY, they are extremely sound and balanced pups. We had a great experience with breeder, he updated us through entire 8 weeks with pics and videos. We plan to hunt with our new member of the family and have no reservations on his ability to do so, he is also and incredible pet. Awesome breed, and Awesome breeder. Thank you Gene for all you have done. We love our Puppy. Great Experience!

We found Gene through this website when his litter was just a week old and were happy to find he still had just a few puppies left. After putting down a deposit, Gene sent weekly email updates and pictures of the litter and allowed us to Skype at any time to see them. We were able to do a quick road to pick up our girl from his home and the process was a breeze. She is an amazing dog- very smart, wonderful personality and perfectly healthy. As an added bonus, we are able to stay in contact with the owners of this litter as well as his first on facebook. It has been a wonderful resource and a great place to chat about Griffs. I would recommend Gene to anyone looking for a Griffon.

The best bands always seem to have the biggest drama. The Beatles. Fleetwood Mac. The Police. Oasis. Their tumultuous off-stage relationships not only fueled media interest, though - they also fanned their artistic flames. Most groups, however, will simply fizzle away or completely implode when relationships become strained. The titular band in The Broken Circle Breakdown is certainly in that latter company, though their core dilemma in the film is more unbearable than most. Their foreshadowed collapse, were it not fictional, would also rank among the greatest hits of musical meltdowns.
But let's start when things are at their best for the Broken Circle Breakdown - on stage. Using non-linear editing, we open on a performance of this Belgian bluegrass band in a sweaty, underground club. They look and sound perfectly American, but the twang in their harmonized accents is just part of the show. Lead singer Didier (Johan Heldenbergh) in particular, is completely infatuated with U.S. culture, even living on a farm that could pass for rural Alabama. He's building a home with the band's co-lead singer Elise (Veerle Baetens) and their cancer-ridden young daughter. As the story slides back-and-forth like the playing of a steel guitar, one moment we're with them at their daughter's side in the hospital, and the next we're witnessing her conception in the back of a pick-up truck.
Unlike the irrepressible pace of their music, the story off-stage is more reflective and interested in silences. Elise and Didier start to question life's injustices and adopt very different philosophies to cope with their pain. In private, they manage to be mostly civilized in their discussions. But on stage, their schism starts to take root and become apparent. Until, of course, it becomes undeniable - and painfully uncomfortable.
Luckily, as an audience we often get to return to those beautiful musical interludes. And it's your simple stage direction that helps us decode exactly where we are in their timeline - whether they are joyously sharing a mic at an intimate venue, or awkwardly spaced out across a grand stage in matching - but soulless - white outfits. These physical manifestations of their evolving careers and relationship also hint to some of the film's larger existential questions. From the earthy tones of their early wardrobe, reflecting their roots in the underground music scene, to their unlikely and unexplained heavenly rise to stardom (or at least, a sold-out amphitheatre) in tailored white suits. We aren't given details about how it happened, much like the characters themselves aren't given answers to why events happened in their own lives, but I was pleased to see where they ended up.

Summary Book Review Reflective Learning in Management, Development and Education by David Higgins:
Download or read book Reflective Learning in Management, Development and Education written by David Higgins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been a growing interest in the ideas surrounding reflective practice, specifically in the areas of learning in management, development and education. This interest has developed in a growing number of professional fields thus making for very diverse understandings of what can be regarded as complex approaches to learning. In order to understand how reflective practice can support and aid learning it is helpful to acknowledge how we learn. First, all learners start from their own position of knowledge and have their own set of experiences to draw upon. Second, learning is contextual, something which managers need to acknowledge. To make sense and achieve a deep understanding of material and experiences, one needs to relate new information to existing knowledge and experiences. This is best achieved through a process of reflection. Indeed, the underlying rationale for the chapters in this publication is to explore how the role of practice, reflection, and critical reflection are understood and developed within a learning process which is supported through the application of reflective tools. This book recognises and makes explicit the diverse, yet inclusive nature of the field. By including a range of contributions from both subject specific disciplines and professional contexts, it seeks to enable the reader in documenting some of the current uses of reflection and critical reflection, while also illustrating some of the newer methods in use, as well as the current contributions to thinking in the subject domain. Through this publication the editor and authors hope to provide a basis from which continuing professional development and education can be enhanced. This book was originally published as a special issue of Reflective Practice: International and Multidisciplinary Perspectives.

Summary Book Review Adult Learning and Development by M. Cecil Smith:
Download or read book Adult Learning and Development written by M. Cecil Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult education occurs whenever individuals engage in sustained, systematic learning in order to affect changes in their attitudes, knowledge, skills, or belief systems. Learning, instruction, and developmental processes are the primary foci of educational psychology research and theorizing, but educational psychologists' work in these domains has centered primarily on the childhood and adolescent school years. More recently, however, a number of educational psychologists have studied learning and development in adulthood. The results of these efforts have resulted in what is now called adult educational psychology. The purpose of this volume is to introduce this new subfield within educational psychology. Section 1 focuses on the interplay between learning and development in adulthood, how various forms of instruction lead to different learning outcomes for adults, description of the diverse social contexts in which adult learning takes place, and the development of metacognitive knowledge across the life span. Section 2 describes both research and theory pertaining to adult intellectual functioning, thinking, and problem-solving skills within various contexts. Section 3 describes research in a variety of adult learning domains; discusses the cognitive and behavioral dimensions of reading in adulthood and the applications of reading in real-life circumstances; examines an educational intervention developed to promote forgiveness; and relates the outcomes of an intervention designed to educate parents about their children's mathematics learning. Section 4 summarizes the themes and issues running throughout this, the first book that has sought to span the gulf between adult education, adult development, and educational psychology.

This book was released on 2009-05-07 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scholarship of management teaching and learning has established itself as a field in its own right and this benchmark handbook is the first to provide an account of the discipline. Original chapters from leading international academics identify the key issues and map out where the discipline is going. Each chapter provides a comprehensive and critical overview of the given topic area, highlights current debates and reviews the emerging research agenda. Chapters embrace the study of organizations as a whole, the concepts of individual and collective learning, the delivery of formal management education and the facilitation of management development. Through consideration of these themes the Handbook analyzes, promotes and critiques the contribution of management learning, education and development to management understanding. It will be an invaluable point of reference for all students and researchers interested in broadening their understanding of this exciting and dynamic new field.
Summary Book Review Development, Education and Learning Disability in India by Maya Kalyanpur:
Download or read book Development, Education and Learning Disability in India written by Maya Kalyanpur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses qualitative research methods to examine why students in an Indian context are being identified as having learning disabilities on criteria that are largely drawn from the context of the Global North. It explores the push towards English language instruction as a possible factor that affects poor academic outcomes for students from low-income backgrounds who may be first-generation learners or English language learners. The book contrasts the different outcomes and supports for academically struggling students across low-income and middle-income backgrounds, with evidence to suggest that, despite the inclusionary principles of Education For All, this label is creating a marginalized group of students.

This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A goal of mine ever since becoming an educational researcher has been to help construct a sound theory to guide instructional practice. For far too long, educational practice has suffered because we have lacked firm instructional guidelines, which in my view should be based on sound psychological theory, which in turn should be based on sound neurological theory. In other words, teachers need to know how to teach and that "how-to-teach" should be based solidly on how people learn and how their brains function. As you will see in this book, my answer to the question of how people learn is that we all learn by spontaneously generating and testing ideas. Idea generating involves analogies and testing requires comparing predicted consequences with actual consequences. We learn this way because the brain is essentially an idea generating and testing machine. But there is more to it than this. The very process ofgenerating and testing ideas results not only in the construction of ideas that work (i. e. , the learning of useful declarative knowledge), but also in improved skill in learning (i. e. , the development of improved procedural knowledge).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an essential source for higher education teachers and student affair professionals in China and around the globe, who seek to deepen their understanding of Chinese undergraduate students they work with so as to promote their learning and development. Drawn from interview data with 64 college students in five colleges along with survey data with more than 23,000 students from 21 institutions in mainland China, this book examines student learning and college experiences from the students’ own perspectives. Researchers with a focus on Chinese higher education have reported on large-scale student surveys that have sprouted in recent years. While these surveys facilitate national and international comparison, uphold academic rigor and shift institutional attention towards student learning, this book will investigate the same important topic but with a different approach that seeks to understand college student life as told by themselves.

Summary Book Review Teacher Learning and Development by Peter Aubusson:
Download or read book Teacher Learning and Development written by Peter Aubusson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-01-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series in teacher education, Self-study of Teacher Education Practices (S-STEP), is designed to capture and portray a range of approaches to se- study of teaching and teacher education practices. In so doing, it is anti- pated that the work of teachers and teacher educators might come to be better understood and valued as the complexity of the work of teaching and teaching about teaching is articulated and described for others. The series was initiated in order to complement the International Handbook of Self-study of Teaching and Teacher Education Practices (Loughran et al., 2004) so that the diversity in approaches to self-study could be highlighted for all those involved in the teaching and researching of professional practice. Pinnegar (1998) described self-study as a methodology for studying the s- tings in which professional practice takes place and, as such, suggested that self-study should lead to improvements in teaching and teacher education by uncovering and articulating insights in the processes of teaching and learning. In this way, a clear intention of self-study is that it might ultimately enhance s- dents’learning and teacher and teacher educators’understanding of practice.

Summary Book Review The Best Schools by Thomas Armstrong:
Download or read book The Best Schools written by Thomas Armstrong and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2006 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators, politicians, parents, and even students are consumed with speaking the language of academic achievement. Yet something is missing in the current focus on accountability, standardized testing, and adequate yearly progress. If schools continue to focus the conversation on rigor and accountability and ignore more human elements of education, many students may miss out on opportunities to discover the richness of individual exploration that schools can foster. In The Best Schools, Armstrong urges educators to leave narrow definitions of learning behind and return to the great thinkers of the past 100 years--Montessori, Piaget, Freud, Steiner, Erikson, Dewey, Elkind, Gardner--and to the language of human development and the whole child. The Best Schools highlights examples of educational programs that are honoring students' differences, using developmentally appropriate practices, and promoting a humane approach to education that includes the following elements: * An emphasis on play for early childhood learning. * Theme- and project-based learning for elementary school students. * Active learning that recognizes the social, emotional, and cognitive needs of adolescents in middle schools. * Mentoring, apprenticeships, and cooperative education for high school students. Educators in "the best schools" recognize the differences in the physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual worlds of students of different ages. This book will help educators reflect on how to help each student reach his or her true potential, how to inspire each child and adolescent to discover an inner passion to learn, and how to honor the unique journey of each individual through life.
