Sticks and Stones
In my GretaWire "Talking Points Memo," I thought I might write about my colleague, Bill O'Reilly. Wednesday night he called me a "pinhead" on the air. I thought it was funny and I have been called worse things by my brother and sister over the years. Over the years I have been called lots of things and posted lots of e mails on this blog with peoples' views of me that are not flattering, but this is the first time I have been called a "pinhead" on the air, around the world, in primetime. You could tell Bill thought it was funny, too. He laughed as he said it. Next time maybe "knucklehead?" I will suggest it to him and, OK, if you want, send me your suggestions I might post them.
Since I have promised behind the scenes including what happens in the lead up to our show Bernie came into the make up room last night and asked if he could take some printer paper from FOX and bring it home to his son. It was too late for him to run to a store and he said it was important. I said, "Sure," but wondered what was up. It turns out that Bernie, in preparing for the show last night and in printing research for the show, used up all his son's printer paper before he walked out the door. As Bernie left for the bureau to do the show, he learned the big problem from his son. His son had gone to the computer and discovered there was no paper and that he had been ambushed by his father. His son then pointed out I assume a bit frantically that his father had not only used up all the printer paper but that he needed paper to print his term paper on the Roman Empire due today. This was an emergency. We all know that and have all been there for those term paper due emergencies. Needless to say we were happy to give Bernie and his son the paper. We don't care. We just want justice, but a woman commits a crime and we try to figure out why they did what they did. Maybe they are just as evil as the men. Women want equality. Well, in my humble opinion they should have it in the justice system too.

This is so disgusting and revolting! Does this mean that every suspected criminal is going to plead innocent by reason of being bipolar? Give me a break! Pleeeeeeeeeez! Was the man that assaulted me 35 years ago bi polar? We hadn't even heard the word then, so is he now thinking to himself, "I did it because I was bipolar? So, I am forgiven?" Give me a break! I now hold the prosecution and the victim's parent/parents most responsible for this injustice to society. After much news coverage of this, I have come to the conclusion that maybe the parent did not want it revealed that it might have been thought of as a notch in the belt buckle of the teen boy by the teen boy. Also, that maybe the parent/parents did not want the publicity, etc., to affect their so called place in life/society. It has been proven by the medical profession that a victim facing his/her attacker is a most effective form of treatment and getting past and over trauma than sweeping it under the carpet. I hope when this victim is of age, and can make decisions for himself, we hear from him the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
That so called woman, who is no woman in my book, needs to be strung up and hung out to dry replica van cleef & arpels bracelet up just like any other sexual assault offender of anyone of any age.
So, here's to you Mrs. Robinson: I think we don't know the full details of the situation to make judgments of any kind. I have no doubt van cleef bracelet fake the sex was consensual and I do not believe the boy suffered any damage except maybe to his ego from his buddies because the media found out. As a parent of two girls, I would have been glad my son was not having sex with 14 year old girls. My grandmother was married at 15, my grandfather was 30. They loved each other very much and had a wonderful life. Girls and boys are wired differently it is a fact. My husband wishes he had her for a teacher when he was that age! Ha ha! Her looks and personality probably did play a part in this, but I disagree that she would have gotten different treatment if she was ugly and fat because if she had not been attractive, there would have been more cause to believe the boy/young man was not a willing participant and could have been physically overpowered. I remember being that age myself and would not have welcomed any advances by older male teachers. It is my opinion that this is not a double standard, it is just human nature for boys to be more curious than girls and have less emotional fallout from casual sex. I am not condoning her behavior by any means I just think the case got way too much attention for something that should have remained a private matter. Double standard? Perhaps. As the mother of a 15 year old son, I have listened to him talking bracelet knock off van cleef about how lucky the kid was who got to have sex with that "hottie teacher." But I have also had to watch him go through the pain and emotional suffering of having been smitten with a teenager drama queen who, on a bi weekly basis, dumps him, and then tells him she'll kill herself if he leaves her, I'm not so sure that having sex with a 20 something adult woman wouldn't be better.
Also, looking back on my own teenage crushes on male teachers, I am relatively certain that I would not have been damaged for life by having sex with one of my teachers. In fact, I dreamed about it often! I think maybe as a society we should come to better terms with our sexuality. I don't think that woman is a pedophile; I don't think 20 something male teachers having sex with female students are necessarily pedophiles. In many cases, the 20 somethings are just immature. Should they be teaching? No, probably not. But I certainly don't think they belong in prison either.

I was so happy to see that you were going to report on the LaFave case. I have watched many of the FOX people report on it and it has really, really irked me to no end. First, I have to say that Lafave is a pedophile and needs to be institutionalized because there will be another victim. she has no remorse or conscience. On the double standard outcry: rubbish! Double standards in gender is and has always been a predominate fact in this world. Since the beginning of time women have had to deal with double standards in sexuality, economics, military (they still discriminate), politics and every other area of life. Now, when men see sensationalized cases such as Lafave's case, they cry foul play and double standards. another double standard perhaps? I am ticked about the outcome, but against the double standard theory no. Look, even women have accepted this crap so much that they fall for it. I have heard several times women say to men and men say to men, "I can't believe you let a girl beat you" like it is some sort of tragedy for a woman to be good at something, have the ability to compete with a man like a woman is inferior. Just for the record, I am far from being a feminist and still hold onto my Christian values such as the man being the head of a family (not superior, but you can only have one person steering the car), but I feel no sympathy for this so called, "double standard."
Thanks for your coverage Greta
Oh my gosh, pretty girl goes free! Bipolar maybe, but very aware of her surroundings and just exactly what she did. Unfortunately, there are so many teenager boys who have that "heartthrob" feeling for their beautiful blue eyed, blonde haired teacher and why wouldn't they accept the offer to have a sexual relation if approached? They are human, naive and also their hormones are rapidly racing at that age. They can't say no with the wrong head, if you know what I mean. I am ashamed at the prosecuting attorney for letting this one slip. He will have his plate full of future cases for sure by the example he just set, but he will deserve every hard knock he gets from here on out!
As far as Debra, what goes around comes around and her fiance is a ploy as soon as her probation is over she won't need him anymore, he'll get kicked to the curb and she'll be looking for her next victim. I'm sorry, her sickness isn't being Bipolar, it is her own infatuation with her beauty and her desire to be in control sexually of under aged men.
Hi
Well, for goodness sakes, everyone wants ol' to go to jail. My opinion comes from growing up in the 50s. Things were certainly more moral then and family oriented. I certainly don't remember any woman teacher doing such a thing, but the "boys" were really in love with our math teacher. She was a lady and I highly doubt if she did anything other than enjoy their adorations. However, I had a friend who was intimate with a man teacher. Thank goodness no one knew or dared to arrest him or her. It was their decisions. I think she was 17 years old. She is A OK today.

The LinkedIn Groups Have Become Ghost Towns
The LinkedIn groups are the communal backbone of the site. Designed with engagement in mind, these interactive forums seek to bring like minded individuals together to expand their networks and their horizons. However, after a massive overhaul of the LinkedIn group platform in Q4 2015, engagement in the groups is way, way down. The sense of abandonment is palpable. Listen carefully and you can hear crickets chirping along with the gentle wisp of a tumbleweed rolling across a desolate digital plain.
On LinkedIn, the groups constitute a vast interactive space where members go to grow their networks, crowdsource new ideas, and express a point of view. Some communities are more vibrant and better managed than others. Yet as the site has evolved, the LinkedIn groups seem to have lost their luster, almost as if they have been forgotten. Many have dried up altogether, taking on the feel of a ghost town.
Whereas the LinkedIn groups remain an important piece of social networking strategy, the activities that support them are on the wane. Since October 14, 2015, when LinkedIn initiated a massive overhaul of its group interface, I have noted a significant drop off in group activity, both within my own groups and in those of many of my LinkedIn connections. Insightful contributions to group discussions, which are traditionally recorded on the home page, are few and far between. The interest is simply not there.
A large piece of this avoidance behavior can be attributed to the demands imposed on users by LinkedIn itself. The site has become increasingly complex, forcing many to relearn basic practices and continually integrate new site features and functions. As the size of user's networks increase, there is increasingly more information to process, and the groups can easily slip through the cracks of conscious awareness.
Gauging the Trajectory of LinkedIn Group Popularity
The growth of LinkedIn groups in numbers and in scope has been nothing short of phenomenal. As this post goes to press, there are in excess of 2 million groups. As an early adopter of LinkedIn, I still view the groups as viable channels through which one can increase connectivity, demonstrate thought leadership, and conduct valuable market research. However, it is difficult to achieve those objectives without the feedback of others.
Throughout the years, I have spent considerable time exploring the LinkedIn groups. I have rotated in and out of dozens of them, even managed a few. My inclination to initiate and participate in group discussions has always been strong. The liveliest exchanges, some of which went on for months, often gave fresh impetus to my blogging and brought scores of insightful professionals into my network. Yet today, as I scroll down the group discussion boards, I notice little if any play on the postings.
There seems to be a pervasive notion that, despite the best efforts by group owners and managers, the forum has devolved into a bottomless pit of shameless self promotion. Nowadays, the majority of submissions that make it to the discussion boards consist of nothing more than a URL to that person's blog post, latest media mention, lead capture page, or webinar registration site. People got turned off and left.
[To gauge the downward spiral of group activity, I casually surveyed the 65 LinkedIn groups to which I belong. I have retained membership in most of these groups for years. The preponderance of posts was self directed; seldom did I come across an actual question that was intended to spark a discussion. Few if any submissions garnered at least one "like" from other group members; almost none elicited more than one "like" or a comment.]
The Progressive Withdrawal from LinkedIn Groups
In January 2013, LinkedIn imposed internal controls on group posts and implemented what came to be called by users as the SWAM (Site Wide Automatic Moderation) policy. As hinted by the acronym, any LinkedIn group member who contributes content that is flagged or marked for moderation in one group will be subject to the same treatment in all other LinkedIn groups to which they belong. This move was met with disapproval from group members and moderators alike.
Eleven months later, with an eye toward increasing engagement in the groups, LinkedIn implemented a Top Contributor designation. This status was bestowed upon those members whose discussions elicited a high number of respondents and generated greater shelf lives. This was inherently a good strategy that incentivized participation while also measuring the collective value of an individual's contribution to the group. Top Contributors were given special mention on the group page, which enabled them to raise their profiles within the community.
However, with the proliferation of SWAM practices came a decline in LinkedIn group activity. Although seen as a means of purifying the group experience, the blocking or deleting of a member's content represented a level of restriction that was, by definition, censorship. If users knew that their submission in one group could be flagged for moderation, resulting in moderation of future submissions across all groups of which they were a member, they figured 'why bother?'
A Case Study of a Successful LinkedIn Group
The knock off van cleef bracelets Great LinkedIn Group Makeover of 2015 threw a wrench at the process by which many owners grew their memberships. Bringing people into groups has become a tougher sell, forcing a greater organic effort on the part of those who operate them. People become aware of groups less from traditional LinkedIn searches and more through the recruiting efforts of owners, managers, and evangelists.
One group that has seemingly withstood the changes in fact, is thriving on them is Step Into The Spotlight. The group is run by Tsufit, a seasoned marketing strategist and professional speaker who engages her constituents on LinkedIn daily. She offers thought provoking questions and comments that are designed to help members artfully and appropriately promote themselves. Since joining this group, I have marveled at the ways in which she keeps her community involved.
According to Tsufit, who regularly nurtures her network through off LinkedIn conversation, the whole point of a LinkedIn group is engagement. "The groups provide a vehicle through which people can stand out and get known as experts in the marketplace. This helps them make key connections and grow their businesses." She adds that once a connection is made, you cannot rely exclusively on LinkedIn to develop the relationship. It must move offline.
Tsufit actually serves in the role of a recruiter for her group, identifying good candidates through LinkedIn Pulse and other online media. Once in, they are not to do the old teach and preach. Instead, I encourage them to pose questions that will evoke a response."
What Will Revive the LinkedIn Groups?
Despite the mass exodus, the LinkedIn groups are by no means a barren wasteland. Whereas LinkedIn has preserved the infrastructure of the groups, heightened the aesthetics of the platform, and curated the content for easy access, at least for now, the ghost town metaphor is unfortunately apropos. The appeal of the group platform has clearly diminished, and revitalization is going to be an unquestionably challenging proposition.
The copy van cleef alhambra bracelet first step in bringing people back to the groups is to let them know that their voices are important. The route to an enriching group experience begins with each member contributing some measure of value. Enhancing one's presence on LinkedIn is not tied to overt promotion or status seeking behaviors; rather, by supporting others. and feeling part of a community that places a premium on quality intellectual exchange.
A reconsideration of the SWAM mandate, too, is in order. LinkedIn group owners would be well served to take a page or two out of Tsufit's playbook, and selectively moderate contributions after they have been posted. Any post stricken from the record necessitating future moderation would be confined to that group alone. This will drive meaningful interactions between group members who sincerely want to get to know each other and nurture the relationship off LinkedIn.
LinkedIn group digests, the typically ignored email recaps of daily or weekly activities, which were discontinued at the start of the changes, need to be reinstated. Inbox clutter notwithstanding, people need to know what is going on in their groups if they are to participate on a meaningful level. Enticing members to weigh in on discussions in a manner that truly drives conversation will create more enriching group experiences.
People join LinkedIn for various reasons, primarily to cultivate meaningful professional relationships, learn more about the people and companies they serve, and position themselves for economic opportunities. The groups are still excellent sources of quality first degree LinkedIn connections and offer outlets for constructive social listening. In the war for top talent, the groups also provide an ample grid for recruiters and job candidates looking to find one another.
LinkedIn continues to recognize group activity as an important visibility strategy, a means of driving one's footprint deep and wide on the site. There is a strong upside to group participation, one that LinkedIn is going to need to effectively communicate to its user base from here on out.
It is disconcerting that so many LinkedIn users van cleef knock off bracelets have dissociated from the groups.
I believe that this displacement is temporary, and that LinkedIn groups can still provide an important outlet for users to build a presence on the site and achieve a wide range of social networking objectives. But it is going to take time.

It is disconcerting that so many LinkedIn users van cleef knock off bracelets have dissociated from the groups.
I believe that this displacement is temporary, and that LinkedIn groups can still provide an important outlet for users to build a presence on the site and achieve a wide range of social networking objectives. But it is going to take time.

the land of the pyramids
Over the past fake necklace van cleef few months, there has been an increasing number of pyramid schemes mushrooming all over the country. All promise amazing returns with zero risk, they lure hard working kenyans ( a large number of civil servants) into the setup and after some time they close shop.

I'm no business or investment guru, but the little I know tells me when the deal is to good it probably is.

The story is similar to many others and has a familiar ending, loss of replica van cleef and arpels mother of pearl necklace money by the millions and endless suffering for my hardworking brothers.

Spontaneous Generation Hypothesis
Using a simple single lens microscope, the Dutch merchant and amateur scientist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek was able to observe for the first time, living and moving microorganisms that he later called "animalcules". He performed multiple observations of the tiny organisms in materials scraped from his teeth (probably a plaque) and fluids where peppercorns had been soaked. He patiently drew in great detail, the small creatures he viewed in his magnifying lenses. From 1673 to 1723, he sent a series of letters to the Royal Society of London describing his amazing discoveries.
Leeuwenhoek's discovery spread so fast in entire Europe and it became a major controversy among many scientists and philosophers at his time. larvae of flies), could emerge from decomposing human dead body; and that flies could arise from animal feces. Scientists at that time used these "belief system" as the basis of explaining the origin of the "animalcules" that Leeuwenhoek observed. According to them, the little creatures (modern day protozoans) were spontaneously generated from non living matter like the materials scraped from Leeuwenhoek's teeth. The spontaneous generation hypothesis had been widely accepted until the later part of the 1850s when Louis Pasteur came up with the best experimental set up demonstrating that microorganisms only arise from preexisting living cells.
After Leewenhoek's discovery of the "animalcules", a lot of "erroneous" experimental results and conclusions have been presented by several scientists further strengthening the spontaneous generation hypothesis. One is the experiment of John van cleef arpels alhambra fake necklace Needham, an Englishman, who found that after he boiled nutrient solutions (corn and chicken broths) and before pouring them into covered flasks, microorganisms were soon teeming in the cooled solutions. Italian Lazaro Spallanzani, antagonist of the spontaneous generation hypothesis, claimed that microorganisms in the air quickly contaminated the cooled solutions before Needham put them into the covered flasks; this explains the origin of the microbes that Needham saw in his nutrient solutions. Spallanzani was able to prove his point by demonstrating that nutrient solutions heated after being sealed in imitation van cleef pendant necklace a flask did not form microbial growth. Needham responded by asserting the "vital force" important for the spontaneous generation of microbes had been destroyed by the heat and the entrance of new "vital life" was prevented by the seals in the flasks.
Unfortunately, the discovery of chemist Antoine Lavoisier of the element oxygen and its importance to the maintenance of life favored Needham's experiment. The oxygen, according to Needham, was exactly the "vital life" he was talking about. He copy van cleef pendant necklace added that microbes did not grow in the nutrient solution of Spallanzani's experiment because his containers were tightly sealed for the "oxygen/vital life" to enter. Because of this ground (not enough oxygen in the flasks), the experiment of Spallanzani received various criticisms from the scientific community. 2006. Brock Biology of Microorganisms.

The full skinny from the 2016 Telus B
The Crusaders' guard rotation is deep and dangerous, and on Wednesday they combined to score 64 of the team' 78 points as Holy Cross tripped up St. George's to earn a berth in the final eight.
Keegan Konn the led group with 22 points, Nic Best added 20, Nigel Kuma Mintah had 12 and Alex Asperin 10.
The Saints twice battled back to within a possession of Holy Cross, who led by as many as 15 points. But each time, the Crusaders were able to battle back.
Jon Mikhlin, the Saints' point guard scored 15 points in the losing cause, as did centre Jacob Van Stanten, who also had 18 rebounds and six blocks.
Parker Simson shot a sizzling 12 of 14 from the field as the Kelowna Owls played a singature third quarter, overwhelming Terry Fox.
Kelowna's Parker finished with a game high 30 points, and the Owls outscored the Ravens 36 16 in the pivotal frame.
Grant Shephard had 11 points and 14 rebounds, while Mason Bourcier added 15 points and Matt Lafontaine 13.

In the end, Braich still got his share of points, finishing with 25, but Touchie made sure that very few of those points came easy, forcing Braich into a tough 9 of 34 afternoon from the field.
"He is a great fake van cleef engagement ring price player, and if you let that guy go off for 60 (points) you are going to lose the game," said Touchie. "So it's just a given that you have to (stop him)."

That said, Braich's gigantic talent, and his ability to erupt at a moment's notice, kept an edge to the game which remained until the end.
The moment Oak Bay eased up or neglected an assignment, Braich would score. And if that 9 for 34 shooting perfomance was an indication of Touchie's defensive work, it was also directly related to Braich having to force shots because the Lions were consistently missing much higher percenatge shots inside.
Yet somehow Yale kept clawing back, coming back from 18 down in the second quarter to twice get within four points in the second half.
"This game was not indicitive of our season," said Lions head coach Euan Roberts. "Today, we just didn't have the shots. Our offence struggled and the easy ones didn't go down. That can catch up to you."
Yale foward Tamika Otanga struggled to a 2 of 13 performance, while on the other side, Oak Bay guard Madhu McConnell was equally snakebit, shooting 9 of 27 from the field but still finishing with a team high 20 points.
Thursday's quarterfinal rematch between Yale and Oak Bay is a rematch of the final at Vancouver College's Emerald Tournment on Dec. 12. The Bays beat the Gators 82 75 in that game.

But regardless, the Thunder were superb en route to the upset, so thoroughly slowing the pace of the game that by its end, the Bulldogs didn't even look like the same Bulldogs who for almost three full seasons have set the bar for excellence.
After the game, Panorama Ridge head coach Parm Gill said that a huge reason why his team had success was that they were able to study film of his team's 98 80 loss to the Bulldogs on Dec. 12 in the consolation final of the Tsumura Basketball Invitaitonal.
"That was hufe, I had that tape so I could see what fake van cleef arpels between finger ring they run," said Gill, whose team came into the contest with full intent of trying to slow the Bulldogs and take away their ability to score easy hoops at tempo. "We made the adjustments to it and it really worked out well today."

Share Your Wisdom

great way to meet other people in your field. If you meet someone you think might imitation van cleef & arpels wedding ring be a good match, simply offer to act as a imitation van cleef arpels ring sounding board for them on a particular topic. And see where that conversation leads. Your
continued offer of support will let them know that you are willing and able to help them. And if the offer is acted upon over time, the mentor mentee relationship starts to develop.
So share your wisdom. You have so much to give. Giving back to the world is a wonderful use of your time. And who knows how the world might repay you for your kindness.
Everyone has something to offer. The older you are, you have so much life experience. The younger you are, you have so much knowledge of the new technologies.

Ninety per cent of poverty could be solved through the affirmation of marriage between a man and woman, a contentious conference in Melbourne has heard.
A day after state and federal Liberal MPs pulled out of the World Congress of Familiesin the face of a political backlash, US campaigner Larry Jacobsadded to the controversy surrounding the event by claiming poverty could be reduced if only children were raised in traditional families.
"We have to find the truth, and the truth says that statistically there is no better place for a child to be," said Mr Jacobs, the congress' managing director, and an ardent supporter of Russia's anti gay laws. "Ninety per cent of poverty can be solved simply through the affirmation of marriage."
Mr Jacobs' address kicked off what was always going to be a divisive forum, with organisers forced to change venues four times in recent weeks in the face of planned protests against the extreme views of many of its speakers.
On Friday, federal Families Minister Kevin Andrewsand state Attorney General Robert Clark who were scheduled to give opening addresses at the conference pulled out after learning it would van cleef clover earrings copy be hosted at copy vca alhambra earrings a new venue run by Catch The Fire Ministries, an ultra conservative Christian group whose outspoken leader Daniel Nalliahonce blamed the Black Saturday bushfires on Victoria's abortion laws.
But despite the late withdrawals, about 100 protesters gathered at the entrance of the venue on Saturday, heckling guests as they enteredwith. One protester managed to sneak in as a registered guest, storming the stage and pouring fake blood over herself in front of NSW MP, the Reverend Fred Nileand his wife.
"We don't want your backyard abortions," she yelled, before being marched out.
Guests at the event were visibly rattled by the breach and turned to prayer as the woman was ushered outside. But despite ongoing protests at the gate throughout the day, the rest of the conference was incident free.
Controversial American breast cancer doctor Angela Lafranchiwas one of the headline acts, pushing her research suggesting a link between abortion and breast cancer. Reverend Nile, leader of the NSW Christian Democrats, called for more Christians to get involved in politics. And Paul Hanrahan, the executive director of Family Life International Australia, used his speech to suggest abortion was worse than terrorism in Syria.
"Many people lately have been upset at the terrible atrocities being committed in the name of religion in Iraq and Syria and other places. Terrorists and terrorists' kids holding severed heads is certainly gruesome. Answer me this: how is it worse?" he asked.
The decision by Mr Andrews and Mr Clark to pull out of the conference comes only three months before the Victorian election. On Friday, state Liberal MPs Bernie Finnand Jan Kronbergalso withdrew, averting ongoing concerns from moderates within the Liberal Party and claims from Labor of "right wing extremism".
However, speakers at the conference hit out at the decision, with Mr Nalliah calling it "gutless" and Dr David van Gend from the Australian Marriage Forumsaying it sent a bad message to the protesters who had sought to disrupt the event.
"By not coming to this conference our MP friends have encouraged this feral mob to do it again," he said.
Outside,colourfulprotesters gathered throughout the day, some heckling attendees or calling them bigots as they tried to enter. A group of demonstrators called the Block Party Against Hateentertained the crowd in more peaceful fashion, with a burlesque show and a "rainbow" ice bucket challenge targeting Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
US cosmologist Lawrence Krausscame along to the protests in Hallam, saying that as a scientist he was happy to fight the people whose religious beliefs are so strong that they "invent ridiculous information".
One protester, Sam Castro from the Whistleblowers, Activists and Citizens Alliance said she was hit in the back of the head by one of the World Congress of Families attendees on their copy van cleef & arpels alhambra earrings way in Saturday morning.
