Exterminate It! Antimalware

Known threats:6,396,260 Last Update:August 29, 13:50

I purchased Exterminate It! yesterday, as a last ditch effort from having to scratch load an XP Pro workstation, which was infected with the WOWfx Trojan.

In short, your product eliminated all malware on the system. It was the only commercially available product that not only detected the problems, but eliminated them.

For the record, I attempted using:

The registered versions of Spyware Doctor, XSoft Antispyware, CA Antispyware and the free version of Adaware, which all recognized, but failed to clean my system.

Outstanding product.

daphne, common name for, and genus name of, certain low deciduous or evergreen shrubs native to Eurasia. In the United States several naturalized species are cultivated for their handsome foliage and fragrant flowers, e.g., D. mezereum and D. laureola, commonly called spurge-laurel and olive-spurge respectively but unrelated to the true spurge or laurel. The dried bark of D. mezereum was used medicinally, but the plant is poisonous. D. genkwa has been used in China as an effective abortifacient. Daphnes are classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Myrtales, family Thymelaeaceae.

The Art and Science of Successful Online Discussions

instructor on laptop

Faculty use asynchronous discussions to extend and enhance instructional practices in the online classroom. It is widely reported that online discussions play an integral role in facilitating students’ learning, as well as fostering dialogue, critical thinking, and reflective inquiry (Kayler & Weller, 2007; Morris, Finnegan, & Sz-Shyan, 2005). Despite faculty’s knowledge that discussion forums can serve as a useful learning tool, online discussions are not easy to establish and manage.

The Science of Online Discussions
Our working knowledge regarding distance education suggests that productive discussions are essential to learning in an asynchronous online environment. Online discussions effectively take the place of face-to-face classroom discussion. It has even been suggested that, if well facilitated, online discussions may allow for more in-depth and thoughtful learning than is possible in a face-to-face setting (Hawkes, 2006). Gao, Wang, and Sun (2009) contend that in a productive online discussion, it is essential for participants to embrace the following four dispositions:

  1. Discuss to comprehend. Cognitive efforts such as questioning, interpreting, elaborating, or relating information to prior knowledge should be the focus in any productive discussion. According to cognitive psychologists, students are more likely to understand and retain information when they participate in these cognitive activities (Gao, Zhang, & Franklin, 2013).
  2. Discuss to critique. Conflicting perspectives of students should be developed and examined in any productive discussion. Knowledge acquisition originates from cognitive conflicts from social interactions. These conflicts not only occur between students but also between an individual’s existing knowledge and new information encountered in discussions with other students. The real learning takes place when students re-examine their original positions on an issue and explore new resolutions. (Gao, Zhang, & Franklin, 2013).
  3. Discuss to construct knowledge. Gao, Zhang, and Franklin (2013) suggest that a productive discussion should offer students ample opportunities for interaction and collaboration with classmates. From a social constructivist perspective, individuals do not learn in isolation. It is only through this interaction that a richer understanding of the topic will take place.
  4. Discuss to share. Productive learning takes place when students are part of a larger, active community. A community of learners, which represents the ideal discussion forum environment, is one in which students embrace a sense of belonging, support each other, develop shared values, and enjoy their shared identity (Gao, Zhang, & Franklin, 2013).

The Art of Online Discussions
Along with science comes its partner: art. People who aren’t familiar with online teaching and learning will often ask, “Is it possible to mirror intellectual conversations held with students in a ground classroom in the online environment?” and “Can we engage in the subtleties of face-to-face dialogue in the online classroom?” Our answer is, “Yes.” Although students in the online classroom are separated by time and space, thoughtfully formulated discussions can close this gap. The following represent strategies to transform you into an online discussion forum artist:

  1. Touch all students in the forum. In most conversations, we acknowledge all participants, even those who are not speaking, by making eye contact, nodding, and responding as needed. The same applies to an online discussion. All students contribute in some way to the forum during a course; it is the teacher’s responsibility to acknowledge their efforts. Recognition can include a congratulatory post, a note of thanks, or a question or scenario designed to further thinking.
  2. Know what each student needs. What students say (and do not say) in the forum communicates their comfort level in the course. A student who actively participates in the forums may need the instructor to elevate thinking by artfully challenging perceptions and impressions. A student who expresses confusion about the content in the forums may benefit from a Classroom Assessment Technique (Angelo & Cross, 1993) to help the instructor gauge the point of confusion and reveal gaps in the student’s current knowledge.
  3. Be mindful of possibilities. Postings are not one size fits all. As online instructors, we risk hindering progress when we only award credit for posts that are lengthy, particularly at the undergraduate level. We always try not to penalize students who opt to take a brief turn in the conversation as long as the post is substantive, of merit, and adds to the discussion.
  4. Know when to lead and when to be led. There are times we want to guide the discussion and times when we should allow students to carry the weight. One common mistake instructors make in the online classroom is to attempt to drive every conversation. Occasionally students may need to take charge in order to learn the material.

Science and art are natural partners – both are a means of investigation of the world around us. When instructors make a concerted effort to balance both the science and art of facilitating a productive, enriching online discussion among a community of learners, the rewards are abundant.

  1. It would have been very useful if this informative article had posted a couple of examples for each disposition/strategy listed. As it stands, we're left to determined how to put these ideas into practice.

    • Lynn,
      Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comment. There's a word count limit to articles and our article was already on the longer side, so we could only offer so much detail in our post.
      I'd be happy to offer some examples to you here. For instance, in the "Discuss to construct knowledge" section, we like to pose scenarios to students. The goal is to have students work through the scenario together in the forums, relating the situation to the course content, as well as their personal lives. This helps bridge the home-school divide while also allowing students to boost their cognitive aptitudes by constructing knowledge with their peers.
      We can offer another example for the "Know what each student needs" section. When we see a student drafting a thesis statement, but he or she does not understand the purposes and uses of a thesis statement, we offer a Classroom Assessment Technique (Angelo & Cross, 1993) of some kind. For example, we would post a multiple choice question in the forum asking that student (and others if needed) to correctly answer which of the sample thesis statements provided is an actual thesis statement and why.
      Please let us know if you would like additional examples. I hope this information has provided some added clarity and depth.

Freidman Leads Woodson Gymnastics to Patriot District Title

Freidman Leads Woodson Gymnastics to Patriot District Title

Cavaliers senior wins all-around championship.

Woodson senior Simone Freidman won the Patriot District all-around gymnastics title on Tuesday, Jan. 29, helping the Cavaliers win the team championship at Lake Braddock Secondary School.

— As a freshman in 2010, Simone Freidman led the Woodson gymnastics team to its first Patriot District championship. Three years later, Freidman, now a senior, helped the Cavaliers capture another title in the Patriot District’s final year of existence.

Freidman, who signed with Bowling Green State University, won the all-around championship with a score of 38.1 and Woodson won the team title, beating its nearest competitor by more than 20 points during the Patriot District gymnastics meet on Jan. 29 at Lake Braddock Secondary School.

Lake Braddock won the previous two district championships, four of the last five and 14 of 18. On Tuesday night, however, Woodson posted a score of 140.1 to take home the title. Lake Braddock finished second with a score of 118.275 to earn the district’s other Northern Region berth. West Potomac placed third with a score of 117.275, followed by West Springfield (109.4), Lee (108.375), South County (106.2), T.C. Williams (104.65) and Annandale (62.825).

“We’re deep,” Woodson head coach Mike Cooper said. “Where some of the teams tonight, they had maybe [a strong] 1-2, but we had 1-2-3-4.”

WHILE THE CAVALIERS HAD DEPTH, they also had the top performer in Freidman, who placed first on beam (9.675) and floor (9.6), tied for first on vault (9.5) and finished second on bars (9.325).

“She’s been doing it for years and years. That’s her life,” Cooper said. “She just has the talent. She has natural ability.”

“We’re deep. Where some of the teams tonight, they had maybe [a strong] 1-2, but we had 1-2-3-4.”

—Woodson gymnastics coach Mike Cooper

Freidman won the all-around Patriot District title as a freshman during Woodson’s first season after moving from the Liberty District. Club gymnastics commitments kept Freidman from competing for Woodson during her sophomore and junior seasons. She then switched to Apollo Gymnastics in Woodbridge, which allows its gymnasts to compete for their respective high schools, and re-joined the Cavaliers as a senior.

Lake Braddock freshman Whitney King placed second in the all-around at the Patriot District gymnastics meet on Tuesday, Jan. 29, at Lake Braddock.

With the VHSL adopting a six-class format with conferences instead of districts next season, Freidman said she was glad Woodson will be the final Patriot District champion.

“It’s actually amazing,” she said. “… I think it’s so awesome that we get the last Patriot District title. It really means a lot that we’re going to be the last name on there.”

While Freidman’s top score came on the beam, she said her best work came on the vault and floor. She also accomplished her goal of posting a score of 38.

“I haven’t competed vault at all this year in the high school gymnastics season, so this is my first time and I was really nervous about it,” Freidman said. “Being able to go out there and [perform well] was a relief. With floor, it was the last event and scores were kind of coming down to see who was going to get the all-around [title] and I was kind of nervous about that.”

Woodson’s Rachael Talento placed fourth in the all-around with a score of 35.8. Annie Guidry was seventh (33.9) and Tori Keller was 13th (31.025).

Each of the six Cavaliers who competed on beam did not fall—something Cooper, who has coached gymnastics for 30 years, said not even his championship teams of the past accomplished. Along with Freidman’s first-place finish on beam, Talento placed sixth (8.725), Guidry finished ninth (8.375), Kara Urban was 12th (8.225), Keller finished 13th (8.175) and Elena Yonika was 15th (7.875).

Woodson’s Rachael Talento qualified for regionals with a fourth-place finish in the all-around competition at the Patriot District gymnastics meet on Jan. 29.

THE TOP EIGHT FINISHERS in each event qualified for the Northern Region meet, which will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 6, at Lake Braddock.

Lake Braddock’s Whitney King finished second in the all-around with a score of 37.575. T.C. Williams’ Holland Cathey placed third (36.3), Woodson’s Talento was fourth and T.C. Williams’ Grace Girard finished fifth (35.775). The top four all-around finishers, and any competitor with a score of 35 or better, qualified for regionals.

Lake Braddock’s team total of 118.275 edged West Potomac by one point for the second and final regional berth. The Bruins appeared stunned when it was announced they would advance.

“I think we were all pleasantly surprised,” Lake Braddock coach Ellen Hagan-Bowerman said.

King, a freshman, tied for first on vault (9.5), finished second on floor (9.475) and beam (9.4), and placed third on bars (9.2).

“She did a fantastic job,” Hagan-Bowerman said. “She’s a competitor. This is something she’s been doing for a very, very long time. When it’s time to compete, she’s there and she’s ready. Her head’s in the game and she’s on cue and she’s on target and she gets the job done.”

Boeing Logo

Boeing Logo

The Boeing Company is a world-renowned American multinational aerospace and defense firm headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Established by William E. Boeing in 1916 in Seattle, Washington, it has shown immense corporate growth, widely considered to be one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world.

Boeing merged with its rival corporation McDonnell Douglas in 1997. The company employs more than 165,000 people with total assets of around US$ 79.986 billion as of 2011.

Shape and Font of the Boeing Logo:

The earliest Boeing logo to be widely adapted was the vertical, winged Boeing “totem” which was created in 1928. It started appearing on Boeing aircrafts in the mid 1930s. The totem logo was, however, replaced in 1947 with a simple wordmark that contained the company name in the Stratotype typeface. Designed in-house by Boeing artists, it was first featured on the Model 377 Stratocruiser.

Stratotype was also used by the company to designate aircraft model numbers. The frequently-used typeface underwent several changes over the years. When its insouciant, casual use caused to somehow diminish the impact of the Boeing logotype, Stratotype was restricted exclusively for the use as a logotype and the alphanumeric designators on Boeing aircrafts in 1988.

Legendary graphic designer Rick Eiber overhauled the Boeing logotype to a new symbol in 1997, while retaining the classic elements of the McDonnell Douglas logo which was in turn inspired by the Douglas Aircraft logo. Assembled in one place, the Boeing logotype and Boeing symbol constitute the corporate identity of today.

Color of the Boeing Logo:

The blue color in the Boeing logo represents the sky and the supremacy, strength and the success of the brand.

and kelly. she's suddenly so fake to me now. just everything about her screams... phony. i really, honestly, cannot not laugh at the fact that kirsten seems to be her best friend either. i remember reading on twop about people thinking she was having some sort of age crisis. i totally agree.

all in all though, the ep was funny. i enjoyed it. laughed a majority of the time too. i only ff'd galen. no need to watch him. at all.

FAO programmes for institutional development and capacity building

Forest governance

Good forest governance has a central role in achieving sustainable forest management (SFM).  It is also critical to ensuring the effectiveness of schemes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD) as well as of efforts to reduce illegal activities in the forest sector. Governance assessment and monitoring are essential tools in promoting reforms towards better forest governance.

Forest tenure

It is increasingly being recognized that secure forest tenure is critical to sustainable forest management.  Especially in developing countries, where a majority of forests remain under public ownership and state control, diversification of forest tenure arrangements is taking place in tandem with the goal of decentralized forest governance.  FAO supports the process of tenure reforms through various field projects and development of practical guidelines.

Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade Programme

This is a collaborative effort among the FAO, the European Commission and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) to improve forest law enforcement, governance and trade issues in ACP member countries.

Developing national forest financing strategies

FAO, along with other international and national partners has been assisting member countries develop effective financing strategies and instruments to promote sustainable forest management. Conceived as a “key capacity building effort,” this facilitative process helps nations identify and critically evaluate the variety and effectiveness of various financing options and develop long-term national forest financing strategies.

Mapping All Of California's Public Transportation

Think of California and you might only think of freeways and traffic jams, but some designers have mashed up all the state’s various local transportation options into one map, so you can get anywhere without a car. It just might take a while.

California may be the perfect place to take a road trip, with wide freeways, curvy coastal roads, and convertible-ready weather for most of the year. But if you look hard enough, a substantial ad hoc network of trains, buses, and ferries connects pretty much the state’s whole length—from one border at Tijuana to another at Brookings, Oregon, and all points in between—assuming you’re patient enough to wait out all the messy transfers.

A team of California designers and mapmakers have put together a nifty new rail map that sews together the patchwork of regional, local, and national public transportation. "Whereas many of us Californians have dreamed of road trips over a highway map, the California Rail Map shows 500+ destinations reachable on the train or connecting bus or ferry," write the creators.

It would probably take days to try to make some of these connections, so the whole thing remains mostly a psycho-geographic fantasy projected into InDesign until the high-speed rail line is finally built. But it does appeal to the geography nerd in me anyway, causing me to wonder, why not throw myself at the mercy of public transit to see California by bus? Who says the California dream can’t include public-transit? And, finally, when (if ever) can we expect this map to have an app version?

The PDF lives on for free here, but a hard copy version is available as a poster for $12.45, if you’re into that sort of thing.

    it has both. SF just looks massive because of their huge public transportation network and the eastern sierra nevadas has next to nothing.

apple crisp repost, etc.

OOPS!  I accidentally deleted the apple crisp recipe from a couple of weeks
ago.  Would someone please email it to me or repost it?  Also, I just bought
an apple peeler/corer/slicer from "Pampered Chef" and its great.  The kids
love cranking the handle and no more peeling apples for me!  I bought it at
one of my friends in-home parties, but I am pretty sure they have a website.
(Disclaimer: I have no affliation with the company).

My family loved the Refried Bran Soup recipe (digest#295) and Rice-a-Rosie
(digest#294).  Recipes like those make being a new McDougall convert

vf123's Journal, 17 May 2010

i disappeared for awhile, but i'm back! i fell off the wagon big time...but i know i must get back on track,i took the advice of others and got rid of my "fat clothes", and i guess there is something to be said for doing that because as all of my clothes are getting tight and i refuse to buy the next size up, it has pushed me to get back on track. i'm really not sure where it all went wrong, but boy did it ever, and it seems like when you have a slip,you can slide right off the road soooo easily. it really frustrates me though that over the past year,it didn't seem as though i learned a thing! i know that only i can fix this, and i intend to. i swore i would not be over 200 again and look at me....i need to do this though, i've been feeling terrible lately and i had been feeling so good, i want that feeling back, and that is going to be my motivator. ok, now my confession is done, and i'm going to have a good week, even though i have a 2 day seminar coming up, but i am going to try my best to make healthy choices when eating(it will be hard), but when is life ever easy?

Product Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the modern look and functionality We love this faucet and it's flexibility. The spray stays on when I need it. The operation is smooth and water temperature mixes nicely. The extendable head woks well though with the turn radius on the main part of the faucet, I haven't had to use the extending head much. We only have a 24" cabinet so mounted the faucet off the back corner of an almost square stainless sink to make room for the larger sink. Other modern faucets were too tall for where we had to put the faucet under a cabinet. This gave us the look we wanted in a relatively small space.

New inbound feature enhances privacy

InterFAX announces the introduction of a feature designed to enhance user privacy. The new 'Delete fax after completion' feature, previously available for outbound service only, is now available for inbound service.

When this feature - which is off by default - is activated, inbound faxes are deleted from InterFAX servers once they have been forwarded to the subscriber. This means that no fax image history is retained on InterFAX servers, making private correspondence safe from potential hackers.

The feature is a natural add-on to Interfax's Fax API, as it allows this global privacy preference to apply to all outbound faxes - whether sent from desktop email or through the Fax API.

PDF-formatted inbound faxes now available

Interfax has introduced a new feature, whereby inbound faxes may be received as PDF files, alongside the option of receiving them as TIFF files.

This feature was added in response to problems encountered by clients who had installed image editors on their computers, which had 'hijacked' the TIF file association, thereby opening inbound faxes in a wrong application. Apple's QuickTime is just one example of an application with this behavior, which then does not properly display multiple-page faxes.

PDF is a very portable and well known format, whose reader is freely available for download.

Inbound privacy feature found useful by healthcare providers

The Interfax 'delete fax after completion' feature is developing its own fan club with clients from the US healthcare industry. These clients have found the feature useful in complying with US federal regulations mandating the handling of patient-identifying information.

Clients can elect to have Interfax delete faxes holding patient identifying data once these have been sent or received. This means that Interfax offers a fully HIPAA-compliant fax service.

The feature has been put to use by hospitals, practices issuing prescriptions, and opticians, among others.

InterFAX nominates Italian reseller

InterFAX announces a relationship that allows Bitmovers of Milan and Turin, ITALY to resell internet faxing services under the InterFAX brand. Perfectly positioned to promote these services in the Italian market, Bitmovers is a provider of internet access and hosting services and of interactive voice response services, with an active reseller channel across all of Italy.

The move further enhances the InterFAX presence in Europe, emphasizing its commitment to local markets. The company web site, which allows online access to all user settings and fax queues is in the process of being localized to Italian (see It will enable users to view documentation and receive support in their local language, while permitting online ordering of services in Euro currency.

With this addition, InterFAX now has local presence - with local-language support and billing - in the following countries: USA, UK, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Israel.

[Technical discussion about using InterFAX Web Service interface moved here]

InterFAX Seeking Distribution Partners to Resell Fax Services

InterFAX is actively pursuing partnership opportunities to promote our internet faxing services in new territories. Our existing reseller base covers the USA, UK, Germany, Japan, China, Italy, and Israel.

Our current emphasis is on partnering with companies from industrial countries in Europe (Spain, France, Scandinavia, Benelux), Asia-Pacific (Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea), Australia, and South America (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico).

If your company has the following characteristics and you would like to resell fax services we would be happy to hear from you:

  • Established presence in the IT/ Internet/ Communications/ Messaging industries
  • Established business client base
  • Experience selling subscription-based services
  • Sales and marketing capabilities in your home market
  • First-level support capability
  • Billing capabilities - invoiced and credit card
  • Capable of translating and managing a dynamic website

Interfax operates the most feature-filled internet faxing service in the world. From desktop email-to-fax, through fax-to-email, to advanced developer faxing APIs, InterFAX can address your clients' most demanding business faxing requirements.

Contact us at with your details, to schedule a conversation.

The price difference between rates charged to UK clients as opposed to rates charged to US clients arises from the difference in maintaining staff and offices in these two countries.

UK clients enjoy assistance and support at times consistent with their time zone, on local-rate phone numbers, from people who speak their language and understand local requirements. (As applies to clients in the US, from THEIR local team).

Most of our clients, certainly those using our Fax API, are business clients to whom VAT is transparent, and therefore not a consideration.

InterFAX Releases New Encryption Features

InterFAX announces the release of new encryption features which will further enhance the privacy of our clients' communications. Having long offered features which allow encryption of outbound fax messages and encryption of inbound fax messages, InterFAX's new features enhance outbound fax service by:

  • Enabling encryption of confirmation messages - Confirmations are standard email messages which are returned to the original sender of the fax. Normally, these messages are sent in plain, unencrypted format. This new feature allows you to receive these messages in encrypted form.
  • Enabling hiding of the destination fax number - InterFAX's standard addressing method leaves the destination fax number "in the clear". Users who may wish to hide the destination fax number can now do so.

I'm planning to use Interfax after being pissed off by MyFax's support. (and since it is cheaper to our target fax recepients).

Just one last question...

How does Interfax service handle non-dedicated fax line recepients? What if a person answers the phone where Interfax is waiting to send a fax?

InterFAX will retry a user-defined number of times to send a fax. So, if someone picks up the phone on the other end and doesn't switch the machine to fax mode in time, InterFAX will try sending the fax again later.

InterFAX nominates Turkish reseller

InterFAX is delighted to announce a new partner relationship with Savego of Istanbul, Turkey, which will offer internet users in Turkey the ability to "let the internet do your faxing".

Savego, operates Turkey's premier internet fax online service portal, NetFaks - a finalist in Turkey's prestigious "Golden Spider" web awards. The Netfaks portal itself was built using InterFAX's powerful internet fax API.

With strong technical capabilities, Savego is in an ideal position to bring not only desktop faxing capabilities but also custom fax integration capabilities to businesses of all sizes in the quickly-evolving Turkish market.

This move further enhances the InterFAX presence in Europe, emphasizing its commitment to local markets. A local-language web site allows online access to all user settings and fax queues in Turkish (see, as well as permitting online ordering of services in Turkish Lira (YTL) currency.

With this addition, InterFAX now has local presence - with local-language support and billing - in the following countries: USA, UK, Germany, Japan, Italy, Turkey, and Israel.

Party Safari takes it outside

The Mirror

The Party Safari band usually plays in casinos and clubs, so its members are excited to perform an outdoor family concert next Wednesday.

The south King County band will take the stage at 7 p.m. at Steel Lake Park as the most recent performing group in the summer-long Summer Sounds at the Beach concert series.

Russ Sorkness, saxophonist for the band, explains Party Safaris music as dance, funk, reggae, R&B. The group focuses on dance-oriented tunes with strong beats and utilizing saxes, bass, drums and keyboard. Audience members tend to get into the music, he said.

I hope people will just get up and dance at Wednesdays concert, he said. It should be fun.

The band has original songs, said Sorkness, but the songs it will perform at the concert are all cover songs. The repertoire includes a wide range of songs, from classics to those still playing on the radio. Covers performed in past performances include Bob Marleys No Woman No Cry, Jimmy Buffetts Margaritaville, Ushers You Remind Me and Marc Anthonys I Need to Know.

Party Safari has been together for about one year. We are a fairly young band, Sorkness said, but added, We have years of experience of playing.

The roots of the group begin with Sorkness and his brother, Mike Sorkness. The two have played together since they were young. Russ plays saxophone and keyboard and does percussion, while Mike plays bass guitar and sings lead vocals.

Three years ago, drummer John Rush joined the brothers. Two years ago, they gained guitarist-vocalist Leon Christian. Lead vocalist Tina Boewe joined one year ago as the fifth and final member of Party Safari.

Party Safari has performed across Washington. The members are looking forward to playing a concert in a different venue with a new kind of audience, Russ Sorkness said.

The Steel Lake performance will be part of the Summer Sounds at the Beach series put on by Federal Ways Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department. The free concerts feature live bands from the Puget Sound area.  Each concert has festival-style seating; audiences may bring chairs and blankets.

Active ingredient
Moroccan Argan oil . Argan oil is extracted from the Argan tree, which grows in south-west Morocco. After they have been collected, the fruits from the Argan tree are dried so as to help the depulping process (the process of separating the stone from the pulp). Using rollers, the Moroccan women remove the skin from the stone which covers the kernels, this process is meticulous and requires a lot of patience because whatever happens the kernels must not be damaged. The kernels are then crushed with a traditional grinder. What results is a creamy paste which the women knead by mixing it with lukewarm water. This paste is then pressed to extract a precious juice: Argan oil. Moisturises, restructures, revitalises and prevents wrinkles

Paraben Free.

Directions: Apply once or twice per week, on a moist skin, massaging gently in little circular movements paying particular attention to the roughest areas. Rinse abundantly.

Upon receiving my products, the Lovea Argan Oil Body Scrub lid had come open in transit and some of the oil leaked into the package. Otherwise very satisfied with both products I have received.

Assessment of Learners

Assessment Of Learners: Levels 1 - 6

In the majority of cases the teacher/tutor has responsibility for the assessment of learner evidence. This means that in addition to teaching/delivering a programme you will also have responsibility for assessing, marking and grading the learner evidence. There are some steps you can follow to help you to plan how and when you are going to assess your learners.

1. Know the following:

2. In the provider's programme module refer to the mapping of learning outcomes to assessment techniques

3. Participate in planning meetings with your colleagues

4. Write:

* Write an integrated assessment brief, if appropriate

5. Inform learners about assessment

6. Keep records and documentation relating to assessment

7. Comply with all relevant assessment requirements

Born of water, wool, soap and human hands– felt is the most immediate textile that can be created from the back of a sheep.  The directness of the process, and utility of the finished product has found its way deep into the heart and soul of our kindred featured artisan, Katherine Jolda, a woman whose creative life has manifested fundamentally crucial garments for the 150 mile wardrobe.  She has been deemed ‘a brilliant inventor, natural philosopher, and felt athlete,’ by those who have both observed and worn her work.

 Jolda’s sensibility-for-utility was honed during her six year sojourn on the Navajo reservation, a region she gravitated to and made her home after college.  Her initial work focused on food system and public health issues.  “I was re-invigorating the work of growing food, and eating that which we grew.  It was a diabetes intervention strategy,” she recounted during one of our first meetings.

During this time on the reservation, Jolda’s interest was peaked by the Navajos’ flocks of churro sheep.  “The sheep are living symbols of the good life, in fact, the sheep = life.”  The Navajo don’t appreciate numerous questions regarding their cultural practices–to become involved with the sheep, meant ‘doing’ versus ‘taliking.’   Jolda’s athleticism, and ‘can-do’ way of being fit right into this cultural paradigm.

The remoteness of the Navajo Nation, combined with ongoing water rights issues spawned by foreign mining entities, stimulated the residents including Jolda, to manage their resources with an intricate efficiency.  “You can’t drive elsewhere to acquire things… for instance, you don’t buy feed for your sheep, the flock relies on the surrounding pastures completely.  This makes ground water extraordinarily precious to the people, and makes the use of it for mining coal all the more irresponsible.” she said during a recent presentation on the subject.

Jolda’s felting process is representative of her years of participation with a culture that has for reasons of necessity, lived within its ecological confines.

Returning home and to the city of her birth in the last 24 months, Jolda has begun the process of weaving together the culture of her Oakland roots, with the strong impressions and lifestyle shifts she made while living with the Navajo people.

She has brought her earth-based practicality to the city where she now resides, “I was curious how my (felting) practice would manifest itself in my homeland, this region, that I had primarily known to be urban and metropolitan. I was delighted to find not only people similarly engaged in the teaching and learning of fiber arts, but the passionate application of these skills and relationships to common political and economic concerns, such as ecological health, global environmental justice, manufacturing and trade policies, livelihood, and social relationships.”

Jolda is actively engaged in an ongoing process of teaching and learning– her contributions to the Fibershed project reflect that cycle.  From teaching one of our artisan re-skilling days, to the felting of some magnificent ready to wear garments, she has shared her talents graciously with the entire community.

I am interested in offering my unique gifts and strengths in ways I enjoyed before my mind got clouded with notions of what I ought to be doing. Intertwined with this is giving others the courage to cultivate and offer themselves similarly. I seek more opportunities to work with young people, as their worldview is developing, I intend to help people connect to deeper cycles.”   Jolda teaches felting classes throughout the region and beyond, and is working towards becoming a credentialed teacher.  Jolda’s wool processing classes always include the presence and operation of her most re-known invention– the Cyclocarder™.

Jolda’s invention was awarded first place at the Maker Fair this year

The Cyclocarder is the key to processing Jolda’s fiber once it is shorn from the sheep and after it is washed.  Combing wool is the first step in the life cycle of any wool garment whether it is felted, knit, or woven.  Jolda’s work approaches wool processing in a revolutionary manner– relying on human-power, while remaining efficient.  The standard tools for cottage industry work prior to Katherine’s invention relied fully on hand-cards and hand-powered drum cards.  For a felter working to make full size garments– these tools are slow and cumbersome.  The bicycle powered drum carder creates on average 6oz. of combed wool in 4-5 minutes.

Jolda’ s interest is to see a cultural shift towards 100% natural fiber garments.  ” I would like to see the current trend towards plastic-based outdoor gear transition into a renewable fiber base.”  With tens of thousands of pounds of wool being discarded annually in our Fibershed– along with the recent research published on the effects of our plastic clothing on our oceans, Jolda’s work is very timely.

 “My main goal is to stop wool from ending up in the compost pile, at least as long as we are wearing clothing from synthetic and industrial materials. All forms of life offer gifts to us humans that match our needs and desires. I want to make durable and beautiful felt items in which the origins of all materials are unmistakable, and help represent the story of our land, wild and cultivated.”

Jolda has brought the story of our region’s fiber to the forefront with her designs.  She has engaged with several of the regions farmers to collaborate on her creations.

The first piece Jolda made from our region’s wool was a fedora– an incredibly useful and beautiful tool for shading the face.  The wool came from just 44 miles north of Jolda’s Oakland hub, from the Bodega Pastures sheep.  The band used to tighten the hat is made from Jolda’s brain-tanned buckskin.

Jolda’s most recent creation is a perfect fusion of beauty and function.  Utilized daily for just about everything– food, laptop, wallet, keys– this bag is well constructed from one pound of Bodega Pastures wool, bound together with locally tanned leather straps, sewn into the fiber with brain tanned buckskin.  This bag is a complete hit, and a popular item in the Fibershed Marketplace!

This 147 mile winter coat was Jolda’s first and flawless attempt at felting alpaca, her felted pieces were then composed and sewn by Mali Mrozinski for this gorgeous piece that provided warmth and comfort through a long winter.

Katherine’s experiences traveling through the Fibershed have brought her closer to the resources of her home land. “I believe that there is a whole lot of insight revealed when we tell the story of how an item came into being. We always have a feeling about what we are telling others, if it is something we are excited and delighted to tell, or something we feel bad about telling, and that feeling can guide us to become involved in the story, and work so that it becomes something we are delighted to tell.”

Jolda has inspired many within the Fibershed and beyond this year to become active authors of their own fiber stories, by giving us the vision and tools to become our own creators…. more specifically, to become our own ‘mini-wool mill.’  Her inventiveness was born of necessity, and is now being assimilated and incorporated into a community that for all its wealth– has little access to equipment and manufacturing.  The drum carder is as needed on our farms and studios as it was on the reservation.

It is our hope to empower more communities in towns and cities everywhere to cultivate their own stories of place through the act of creating with what you have.

To meet Katherine in person, and see her inventions and incredible garments you can go to her upcoming events page.

Thank you to Katherine Jolda, Mali Mrozinski, Julie & Ken Rosenfeld, Paige Green, and Bodega Pastures for making this story a reality… your skills are gifts to our community.

Analyst ranks the top 11 pharma giants' prospects, putting GSK on top

In Big Pharma, you're only as good as your pipeline, your product lineup and how you shape up relative to the threat of a looming loss of patent protection. And by that criteria Morningstar's top pharma analyst ranks GlaxoSmithKline ($GSK) at the top of the industry heap, with AstraZeneca ($AZN) limping in at last place despite a flurry of new deals aimed at reviving its R&D efforts.

Analysts, of course, don't always see eye-to-eye when it comes to their subjective assessments of a pharma company's future. It's not unusual to see two analysts come out of the same company meeting with two completely different conclusions. And projecting future revenue potential of experimental therapies--which always have a high threat of failure--is at best a crap shoot. But these snapshot assessments also drive company executives looking to win kudos on Wall Street. And they highlight the top late-stage efforts worth a closer look.

By its own three-prong rating system, Morningstar's Damien Conover lists the top 11 pharma companies thus:

  1. GlaxoSmithKline's push into oncology and respiratory diseases is paying off with its top overall rating, about four years after the company restructured its pipeline to create dedicated research teams more narrowly focused on key programs.
  2. Bayer comes in at the number two spot after a string of new approvals and a comfortable stretch ahead with little in the way of a serious generic threat. Steady pipeline progress without a lot of nasty surprises from R&D is paying off with a top rep.
  3. Sanofi ($SNY) gets good marks for an improving pipeline and easing generic threats in the wake of some big patent losses. There's a thumbs up for the company's existing businesses and added optimism for U300, Lyxumia's ability to complement Lantus and a closely watched PCSK9 program underway in the clinic.
  4. Novartis ($NVS) comes in on the top tier with a diverse group of companies and projections of rising sales. QVA149 projections by others may be a bit overblown, says the firm, but the heart drug RLX030 is underappreciated on the Street.
  5. Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ) makes the better half of this survey with new product launches and a big add with the Synthes buyout. Morningstar likes daratumumab in the pipeline and the fact that J&J doesn't face big patent losses. But recent approvals have left its pipeline a little thin.
  6. Bristol-Myers ($BMY) gets top marks for a strong late-stage pipeline, one of the industry's best, but faces a serious threat on the patent front. On the positive side BMS has successfully executed a shift to specialty meds, but patent losses could crimp revenue more than investors expect.
  7. Adding Roger Perlmutter as the new head of R&D helped boost Merck's ($MRK) rep, but a change of direction in R&D strategy will take time to pull off. Top marks for MK-3475 and the company's BACE inhibitor for Alzheimer's.
  8. AbbVie's ($ABBV) score has a lot to do with its megablockbuster drug Humira. And with Morningstar 's Conover looking for a faster slide in sales than some other analysts, that's dragging down the overall score despite a thumbs up for elotuzumab in multiple myeloma and elagolix for endometriosis.
  9. Eli Lilly's ($LLY) pipeline reputation relies quite a lot on its prospects for the diabetes drug dulaglutide and the depression drug Neri. Despite Morningstar's less aggressive peak sales expectations, though, the firm believes that new product launches will help bring down the pharma giant's relatively large R&D budget--currently a hefty 25% of sales.
  10. Pfizer ($PFE) gets good marks for new launches--Xeljanz and Eliquis--after a brutal showdown with the patent cliff. Palbociclib in the oncology portfolio also gets good marks as a top prospect.
  11. Count Morningstar among the AstraZeneca skeptics. Forxiga, Epanova and lesinurad may look better to their top analyst, but Morningstar is looking for heavy losses for the Crestor and Nexium franchises. It doesn't help that AstraZeneca has been struggling to come up with new products for years. Add it all up and Morningstar sees long-term negative growth, keeping AstraZeneca in the industry cellar.

Comcast 'Watchathon' could drive HBO, Showtime subscriptions

HBO Go, Showtime Anywhere not included in free preview

Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA) detailed the programming lineup for its Xfinity Watchathon Week, which will include multiplatform content from HBO, Showtime, the Big Four broadcast networks and dozens of cable channels.

The free preview, which will run March 25 through 31, could help Comcast drive expanded basic subscribers to upgrade to HBO, Showtime, Starz and Cinemax. With the third season of HBO hit series Game of Thrones premiering on March 31, offering access to every episode from previous seasons could get some subscribers hooked on the original program.

Comcast isn't giving basic cable subscribers passwords that can be used to access TV Everywhere apps built by cable networks such as HBO Go, Showtime Anywhere or WatchESPN. Instead, it is distributing the Watchathon programming through its Xfinity TV Player App for Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPad and iPhone and Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) Android devices. Subscribers will also be able to watch 100 TV series from 30 networks through its Xfinity On Demand platform and its TV Everywhere website.

"This will be the biggest catch-up ever in TV history," Comcast Cable VP of Video Services Maggie Suniewick said in a prepared statement.
