Teacher Mentoring Research Paper Starter

Teacher Mentoring

Mentoring is a popular form of teacher education involving a formal program of training by highly experienced teachers for new teachers, or teachers seeking professional renewal. Although examples of informal mentoring among teachers can be found in literature, systematically organized and often state-mandated programs of formal teacher mentoring have only become widespread since the 1970s. While differing widely in content and duration, most teacher mentoring programs are designed to offer feedback about instructional delivery in a non-judgmental manner in order to catalyze enhanced teacher effectiveness in helping students achieve academically.

Teacher Education: Mentoring

Although numerous educational articles begin by citing the earliest use of the term "mentor" in Homer's Odyssey, the authors of these articles often mistake what Homer actually wrote about the character Mentor. Before setting forth from his household in order to fight in the Trojan Wars, Odysseus did instruct his old friend Mentor to protect his wife and son and keep everything intact while he was gone, supporting the notion that Mentor was a trusted advisor and a wise friend. Unfortunately, Mentor fails miserably in protecting the household of Odysseus. The goddess Athena, daughter of Zeus, the head of the Greek divine pantheon, disguised herself as Mentor and kept domestic affairs solvent until the return of Odysseus a decade later.

As the story suggests, mentoring entails a relationship bound by trust between two individuals in which one, rightly or wrongly, trusts highly in the other's competency to achieve an objective. Additionally, the Homeric tale proposes that mentoring involves a fusion of different identities and characteristics: masculine and feminine, direct and indirect intervention, planned intention and spontaneous inspiration.

The Homeric interpretation of "mentor" suggests that mentoring does not uniformly bring about the desired objective. This is particularly important in considering the various contemporary views of teacher mentoring, since some advocates of mentoring claim that it will surely reduce teacher attrition and raise instructional standards. A number of educational researchers strongly dispute these claims, pointing to new teachers rejecting assigned mentors in favor of utilizing family or friends outside the teaching profession in a mentoring role (Lindgren, 2005).

Defining Mentoring

To define teacher mentoring as it has been commonly used in educational systems in North America, Europe, and Australia since the 1970s, the following general definition can serve. Teacher mentoring is a formal process of helping a new teacher, or a teacher seeking professional renewal, through an intense dialogue with a highly evaluated, widely experienced educator. The object of such dialogue is to assist the mentee in establishing realistic performance benchmarks for teaching and to feel intellectually and psychologically connected to a fellow educator "as a guide, a supporter, a friend, an advocate, and a role model" (Pitton, 2006).

Although rarely mentioned in Western educational literature, such a dialogue has occasionally also occurred in which the mentee unintentionally educates the mentor. This kind of sudden reversal mentoring is commonly found in both folkloric and educational literature of the non-Western world. The following narrative is used in the instruction of Buddhist clergy in Asia today:

Our schoolmaster used to take a nap every afternoon," related a disciple of Soyen Shaku. "We children asked him why he did it and he told us: 'I go to dreamland to meet the old sages just as Confucius did.' When Confucius slept, he would dream of ancient sages and later tell his followers about them. "It was extremely hot one day so some of us took a nap. Our schoolmaster scolded us. 'We went to dreamland to meet the ancient sages the same as Confucius did,' we explained. 'What was the message from the sages?' our schoolmaster demanded. One of us replied: 'We went to dreamland and met the sages and asked them if our schoolmaster came there every afternoon, but they said they had never seen any such fellow' (Reps & Senzaki, 1957).

As this teaching story indicates, many Asian models of mentoring easily embrace principles of paradox, ambiguity and contradiction. These qualities are not strangers in classrooms anywhere - yet mentoring in North American and European schools foreground teaching as a highly logical, progressively linear, and direct process; an abstract ideal far removed from real classrooms saturated with students who might both wish - and not wish-- to learn, and teachers who are flummoxed about how to address this disinterest.

Increasingly, teacher mentoring has also come to imply a mentee's systematic entry into understanding and participation in school culture and in the community beyond the school. This has been a consequence of realizing that "learning communities" (networks of individuals who are knowledge resources for teachers) exist plentifully beyond as well as within school campuses and might supply valuable classroom visitors for students and teachers alike. Included in this population are retired teachers who might have the time and interest to mentor active teachers, and who belong to national organizations like AARP's Educator Community, formerly identified as the National Retired Teachers Association.

The parameters of the term "teacher mentoring" have expanded into the realm formerly demarcated by the term induction. Induction once was sharply defined in educational literature as referring to a broad spectrum of activities geared to novice teachers that included one-to-one mentoring and community orientation, but additionally encompassed peer study groups, team planning and teaching, and telementoring, mentoring through videoconferencing and Internet communication. (Strong, 2005). In the 21st century, the term induction, in the educational literature, is often replaced by mentoring.

The Mentoring Stance

The term mentoring stance is utilized to refer to a style of mentoring: coaching, collaboration, or consulting (Lipton, 2003).

• Coaching implies a one-to-one working relationship with one teacher, the mentor, defined as possessing more professional and/or intellectual authority than the mentee.

• Collaboration implies a working relationship of equals professionally.

• Consulting implies that the mentor has a status outside of the department or school when the mentee is employed.

Each of these mentoring styles has pluses and minuses, with the coaching style the most dominant worldwide.

Mentoring Culture

Another term refining the general notion of mentoring is mentoring culture. A mentoring culture is created by school leaders at the grade-level, departmental level, and cross-disciplinary team level who supervise and evaluate the professional growth of new teachers or experienced teachers needing a rebirth of dedication and focus (Campbell & Brummett, 2007). A mentoring culture is an environment enhancing daily the possibility of professional growth through discussion of classroom practice. Within a mentoring culture, teachers needing guidance in dealing with complex challenges like curricular differentiation - how standardized curriculum can be tailored to meet the differing learning styles of students - can learn from teachers who have been through that challenge over the years and have developed tools of the trade to address it. In the 21st century in U.S. schools, the largest concern with mentoring cultures may be connected to the intensification of pressures for students to pass standardized subject-area tests under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB).

Benefits of Mentoring

Any style or schedule of mentoring takes a teacher's many daily frustrations as prima material, raw material to transmute into useful knowledge. However contested the theory that new teachers drop out of the profession at the astonishing rate they do in the U.S. due to the lack of systematically efficacious mentoring, there is general agreement that teaching is a high-stress occupation. Mentoring allows new or highly frustrated experienced teachers to have someone to discuss these constant occupational tensions, and that seems to suggest a therapeutic advantage over the experience of an educator having to...

The Journey to the West Characters

Wu Chengen

Characters Discussed

Monkey, who was born of a stone egg fecundated by the wind. He was king of the Mountain of Flowers for several hundred years, after which he set out into the world in search of knowledge that would make him immortal. Under the name of “Aware-of-vacuity,” he studied with Patriarch Subodhi for several hundred more years. Because of the tremendous magic power he had acquired, as well as his natural arrogance, he named himself “Great Sage Equal of Heaven.” Permitted to live in the Kingdom of Heaven, the mischievous creature disturbed and outwitted all the divinities with his magic tricks until Buddha himself intervened and imprisoned him beneath a mountain. After five hundred years, Monkey was released through the intercession of the Bodhisattva Kuan-yin, on the condition that he become the disciple of the priest Hsuan Tsang, who was then on his way to India in quest of the Buddhist Scriptures for T’ai Tsung, the emperor of T’ang. Monkey’s role now is to assist the priest against the many calamities that befall him. Although he can never overcome completely the temptation to play tricks, Monkey earns his redemption and receives the Illumination that in the end, after a successful journey to India, allows him to be received into Heaven as a Buddha.

Hsuan Tsang

Hsuan Tsang, a priest. Abandoned by his mother when he was born, he was rescued and brought up by the abbot of a monastery. In his old age, he was selected for his sanctity by T’ai Tsung, the emperor of T’ang, to go to India and bring back to China the Tripitaka, the sacred Scriptures of the Big Vehicle. Hsuan Tsang then received the name of Tripitaka. Tripitaka was to encounter and overcome nine great calamities to transcend his mortal condition. In spite of great devotion, he could not have accomplished his mission without the help of his four disciples, who all possess some kind of magical power. He is easily discouraged and given to tears, but his purity is his saving asset, and he is finally received into Heaven as a Buddha.

Pigsy, a lesser divinity in the Kingdom of the Jade Emperor....

Miss Gazillions

Richard Weber's Miss Gazillions opens with protagonist Danny O’Sullivan losing his yacht, and reason to live, to repossession men upon the sudden death of his father. A yacht tour guide in the Virgin Islands for twenty years, O’Sullivan returns to New York for his father's funeral and accepts a job his father arranged for him. At the funeral he meets his father's mistress Lydia Sands, a flamboyant former model who informs him that his father declared bankruptcy just prior to his death, leaving him unable to pay for the burial at sea in the Virgin Islands he requested. O’Sullivan must now save enough money working as an apartment manager to buy his dreamboat, and ship his father's coffin (which is currently his dining table) to its final resting place.

Discouraged, O’Sullivan's luck changes when his beautiful neighbor Celeste Traner appears at his door step at 2am, bloodied and exhausted, with two suitcases containing 4.4 million dollars. From watching the news, O’Sullivan learns of a car crash involving the former United States Secretary of Treasury, the U.S. Attorney General, a deposed Columbian drug lord, and a mystery woman who fled the scene. Realizing the wanted woman is Celeste, the two take the stolen windfall, bury the father, and become international jet-setting fugitives.

They meet Lydia and her boyfriend Ernesto in Rome, live the life of luxury, invest wisely, and constantly watch for the money's owner's henchmen. They then return to the U.S., settling in Martha's Vineyard, where their dreams disintegrate as the money's owner resurfaces.

Miss Gazillions is a humorous adventure filled with romance, daydreams, and suspense.

Places Discussed

Hardcastle Mansion

Hardcastle Mansion. This village dwelling is a substantially built house, which nevertheless must have been timbered and devoid of the familiar medieval stone turrets and towers that marked the castles of the nobility and the upper class. The mansion can be easily mistaken for a country inn. This mistaken identity of place represents the major theme of the play. The Englishman, especially the male, is a modern person for whom identity is always a question; a satisfactory resolution of identity depends on a wise marriage of the old and the new, in which both the man and the woman are strong characters. The complex nature of the house in the play symbolizes this theme.

Three Pigeons Inn

Three Pigeons Inn. Tavern whose taproom is the location where the plot of mistaken identity is planned by Tony Lumpkin, who is even more innovative in his notions of identity than the marrying couple of the play. Drinking and the carefree life of the tavern may represent future social change for Goldsmith, or at least his mockery of it in the play.

Feather-bed Lane

Feather-bed Lane. Bumpy road on which the wild roundabout ride in the final act of the play begins only to end in the pond. The comic chase represents again how revolutionary Goldsmith is with his suggestions of a changing British society, in which town and country values are tossed together.

Sells, A. Lytton. Oliver Goldsmith: His Life and Works. New York: Barnes & Noble Books, 1974. Examines Goldsmith’s life and offers a chapter on his writing the play and the problems he faced presenting it on the London stage. Offers two chapters on Goldsmith the dramatist and critically scrutinizes She Stoops to Conquer.

Swarbrick, Andrew, ed. The Art of Oliver Goldsmith. London: Vision Press, 1984. Ten essays touching on all aspects of Goldsmith’s writings. Contains Bernard Harris’ engaging “Goldsmith in the Theatre,” examining Goldsmith’s dramatic career, theater philosophy, and difficulties in staging She Stoops to Conquer.

Worth, Katharine. Sheridan and Goldsmith. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1992. Intelligent investigation of the playwriting careers of Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Brinsley Sheridan, with special attention given to Goldsmith’s intense dislike of the prevailing sentimental comedy. Long chapter on She Stoops to Conquer is an excellent discussion of the boisterous play.

The rather pastoral title of this story suggests that it might deal with animals and nature, two subjects common to Liam O’Flaherty’s writing. As the reader quickly discovers, however, the “two lovely beasts” are of only minor importance, for the true concerns of this story revolve around their human masters.

The story opens with the misfortunes of Kate Higgins, a widow whose cow has calved and then died. She brings her tale of woe to the kitchen of the Derranes, a neighboring family whose own cow has just given birth to a calf. Kate, in wild hysterics, begs Colm Derrane to buy her calf, so that she might purchase another cow. “I must have a cow for the children,” she tells Colm. “The doctor said they must have plenty of milk. . . . They are ailing, the poor creatures.”

Because “traditional law” allows only one cow for each family, Colm refuses her at once. Grazing land is scarce—there is only enough grass on each household plot to support one cow. By the same token, the milk is shared with those in the community who have been struck by misfortune—people such as Kate Higgins. As Mrs. Derrane, Colm’s wife, tells Kate, “We couldn’t leave neighbours without milk in order to fill a calf’s belly.”

Eventually, Colm agrees to allow his cow to feed her calf until she can find a buyer. She rejoices at this news, but soon she begins to tempt him again with the idea of owning two calves. “You’ll be the richest man in the village,” she whispers into his ear. “You’ll be talked about and envied from one end of the parish to the other.” Colm refuses her again, but with far less conviction than before.

The seed of temptation has been planted, and it comes into full blossom the following morning when Kate comes to him with the news that she can find no buyer. “Unless you buy him,” she tells Colm, “I’ll have to give him to the butcher at Kilmacalla.” He refuses her one last time but is unable to sleep at night because of the idea of...

How to Test Your Business Idea

Four ways to prove there's a market for your product.
  • ---Shares

Given the choice between starting a business built around a new whiz-bang widget and starting a shoe store, I would go with the shoe store every time.

I've said for many years that the main reason businesses fail is not for lack of capital -- it's for lack of knowledge.

Knowledge in your business -- most important, how to run your business -- is the most potent weapon you can have. It often means the difference between a good and a great business, as well as success and failure.

That said, one of biggest mistakes most would-be entrepreneurs make is going into business based on what they think people should buy, rather than what people really want or actually do buy.

Here's another way to look at it.

People buy shoes every day, and I can easily put a number on the size of the shoe marketplace. Additionally, because our global population grows every day, I can be pretty sure the market for potential shoe owners will continue to grow -- and people will buy multiple pairs of shoes -- in the years ahead.

Maybe this is an extremely simple example, but most inexperienced business people would opt for the whiz-bang widget business. Enamored with a potential market they can't quite measure or identify, secure in the knowledge everyone needs it and will want to buy it, they'd later be bewildered when their warehouse is full of stock they can't even give away.

How can you avoid this trap in your own startup?

Here are four simple and inexpensive things you can do before you get into business to make sure there is viable, sustainable and growing market for your business.

  1. Identify your market. How big -- in terms of dollars -- is the current market for your product or service? Is it a new or mature market? Are you in a new or mature category? A lot of these questions can be answered with a few hours of online research -- or offline research in your library. Or go to an industry association and get your hands and mind around the numbers of your market and your category.

    Another good tactic is to go to a trade show or exhibition and look at your prospects as well as your competition. What does your potential customer really want? Who are they? What is your competition selling and at what price point? Can you deliver the same at a lower price, or can you add value and charge a premium? Is the sales cycle long or short? Is the exhibitors' list growing or declining from year to year?

    Answers to these types of questions will give you a big advantage in getting a handle on the opportunities within a marketplace, and if your initial assumptions about your product or service really hold true.
  2. Identify your customer. One of my CEOs used to work in advertising, and she and her teams would develop lists to help profile the "perfect customer" for the product or service they were trying to sell. Her original list consisted of 53 questions and included questions such as “Is the target male or female?” “How old are they?” “Are they married?” -- as well as deeper questions such as “What was their main motivation purchasing a particular product or service?”

    Why is this so important?

    Because this knowledge will give you additional insight into how your own sales process should be structured. It will also help you operationally tailor your product or service offering to better fit your audience.

    For example, if you are looking at a dry cleaning business, you may discover there is a want or need for a higher-end delivery service to professionals in your area. Given that, you might be able to reorient your distribution and delivery systems to meet an unmet demand.
  3. Test and measure demand. Big companies spend lots of resources testing ad campaigns and hiring focus groups, but you can do a lot more effective research on your own by simply starting small -- then testing and measuring everything you do.

    We've talked about consignment arrangements, farmers markets and local markets before, but don't forget trade shows, expos and industry meet-and-greets as opportunities to meet industry players, network, make contacts and get feedback on your product or service. All of these are relatively inexpensive ways (in many cases less than $1,000 for some type of sponsorship) to test the waters.

    And if you think that is expensive for little or no return, just imagine spending 10 to 100 times that amount without generating any sales or revenue, simply because you are selling something no one -- or very few people -- wants to buy.
  4. Start your list of contacts. At this point in your startup and planning phase, you may have a list of vendors, suppliers or even potential customers. If so, great. Keep building that list and start to develop a communication strategy to keep in contact with that list on a consistent basis. Today's contacts may be tomorrow's customers. More importantly, they have access to entire networks of people who may want or need your product or service.

    The real goal of networking is not making a sale to your direct contact. It's about creating a relationship with that contact that leads to referrals and word-of-mouth leads down the road. Whatever you do -- and however you keep track of your list -- make sure you protect it and treat it like gold. For most businesses, your contacts database often becomes the most valuable asset you own.

In the end, there is no fail-safe formula for business success, although people are always trying to find one. The best indicator is a proven market with room for growth, populated by people willing and able to pay for something unique or different that helps them make their lives better, easier or happier in some way. It's the business that does the usual in an unusual, unique or different way that wins customers and keeps them coming back for more.

Attention social media operatives: If your account name or page designation is laced in profanity, it may very likely be spun into a network television series.

Following CBS’s $#*! My Dad Says -- which was born of Justin Halpern’s Twitter account -- the Science Channel has reportedly greenlit a new show called I F—ing Love Science.

The series is named for the popular Facebook page created by twenty-something British biology student Elise Andrew. It will be produced by The Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson.

“Think of it as a late night Google search that goes a hundred pages deep until things get weird -- and then you just keep going,” Ferguson described of the series in a statement, whose hour-long episodes will debut in the fourth quarter.

“Each hour will delve into a bevy of unexpected but related topics, meeting celebrities, scientists, and everyday people -- each of whom f—ing love science,” the Science Channel said.

Andrew started the “I F—king Love Science” page in March 2012 with the goal of “bringing the amazing world of science straight to your newsfeed in an amusing and accessible way,” according to its About Section. Overnight, it garnered 1,000 likes, and passed the one million mark that September.

Currently, the page boasts nearly 11 million likes. Recent posts include a cartoon of a swollen appendix begging removal, and a news piece suggesting that elephants may employ a specific alarm call when they happen to spot humans.

Repackaging Packaged Foods Business

Building fast moving consumer goods company requires a lot of patience.

Timely and healthy eating has slipped down our priority list for healthy living. The packaged food sector that thrives on on-the-go lifestyle has pushed in a handful of young foodies that are making a beeline for innovative yet healthy and lip-smacking products that do away with the headache of what, when, and where to eat.

Building fast moving consumer goods company requires a lot of patience. As any other young company, Bengaluru-based bottled beverage brand Goodness by DropKaffe also faced different challenges around its product, people, sales and operations at different points in time. However, it was the team of investors and advisors, who guided them through these challenges, says Lakshmi, Founder, Goodness by DropKaffe, who sells freshly brewed coffee in a packaged form. With Kanwaljit Singh, founder of Fireside Ventures and angel investor Manish Singhal on board, the start-up will cross Rs 1 crore in turnover by September this year. As of now, their offline distribution comprises of over 400 stores in Bengaluru and have a decent visibility over online websites like Amazon and Bigbasket.

Creating Differentiation

Brand creation and positioning among customers is another challenge for any business. Traditional forms of advertising can burn a hole in young companies’ pockets, hence it is important for entrepreneurs to leverage social media and involve growth hacking techniques to spread the word as soon as possible.

“From placing the product in the right stores to getting the right team and talent in place is what has been a major challenge,” says Jasmine Kaur, Founder, The Green Snack Co. Having done with their seed round last month, the company will be increasing its turnover from over Rs 25 crore and will also be expanding their online and offline distributions.

“The challenge for young entrepreneurial companies in building the brand is the cost of traditional channels and the amount of noise by large fast moving consumer goods companies in print and television. Therefore, young companies have to focus on how and why they are different,” says Ash Lilani, Managing Partner and Co-founder, Saama Capital. Bengaluru-based venture capital fund has backed companies in food processing space including Raw Pressery, Veeba, and Chaipoint apart from unicorns like Paytm and Snapdeal.

The lack of proper infrastructure has been another major challenge while building up a successful brand in market. PC Musthafa, founder of ready-to-cook packaged food company, iD Fresh Foods, an earlier entrant in this space, says, “Ensuring the last mile storage (in stores has been a major challenge in the Indian market. The end-toend connectivity of my products wasn’t as smooth initially. Alongside, it was very difficult for me and my team to convince our consumers that the product is 100 per cent natural without any added preservatives and chemicals, which is the unique selling proposition of our product”. The company has Rs 25 crore in annual turnover and in January this year the company has raised Rs 165 crore from Wipro’s Chairman Aziz Premji’s family office PremjiInvest.

The quality of processed food has also remained questionable in Indian market. For Nipun Katyal and Varun Jhawar who started a Mumbai-based ready-to-cook food start-up Fizzy Foodlabs, ensuring a 100 per cent natural and premium product at an affordable price available is the real battle.

“Convincing the vendors, retailers, and others to work on costing, in terms of volume for good business was a real task,” the duo say. The company has also been trying to commercialize advanced global technologies like MAP, rotary retort, etc., right from building an in-house technical and research team, to convincing its vendors for equipment upgradation. Convincing the retailers to take a bet on the emerging categories wasn’t easy for Katyal and Jhawar.

“Competing with the existing valued products, has been a path of least resistance for retailers. With time, the retailers have seen the category expanding and the support started flowing in,” says Katyal. The company had earlier raised Rs 40 crore from private equity firm SAIF Partners and Haresh Chawla, partner at True North (earlier known as India Value Fund Advisors) private equity firm.

Road Ahead

With a consumption level of nearly 22 billion litre of drinks, India is the fourth-largest market for beverages in Asia. Goodness by DropKaffe sees more than 300 orders a day. “We are exploring slightly offbeat channels such as corporate cafeterias, fitness centers, etc., for promoting our products. This is not only acting as a clutter free sales channel, but is also helping in building loyalty and trust over the brand,” claims Lakshmi. The company is planning to expand the product portfolio with bringing in protein shakes and flavored milk as well.

Katyal and Jhawar, on the other hand, are focusing on their readymade food boxes venture Chef’s Basket and snacks brand Colonel & Co. “It would take around three to five years on an average for Chef’s Basket to expand and gain a leadership position in market. Colonel & Co. is a pure product and format innovation, which makes it ahead of the curve,” adds Katyal.

Trying to make a mark in healthy food snacking sector, Kaur is planning to introduce an extensive range of snacks for their customers. “The basic aim is to replace the unhealthy munching which usually takes place between 5 pm to 7 pm,” says Kaur. iD Fresh Foods is aiming to scale much faster. The company is aiming to build a Rs 1,000 crore business in next four years and presence across nine cities in India.

A study by Grant Thornton opines that “by 2020 food processing market will hit $482 billion mark”. The sector has grown at around 15 per cent over last three years. It would be interesting to see how young business drive efficiency to tap the market share, even as existing players invest into innovation and make their supply chain more robust.

Supervalu to Go Zero Waste at 40 Stores; Puma Bag Dissolves in Water

Supervalu Inc. and its Albertsons brand of supermarkets have announced that they will move 40 stores to be zero waste by the end of next February, Waste & Recycling News reports.

The announcement was made as part of Supervalu’s 2011 corporate social responsibility report. The report shows that the retailer was the first in the U.S. to achieve zero waste classification, for two Albertsons stores in Santa Barbara, Calif., the website reports.

EL will publish an in-depth review of this report soon.

In other waste and packaging news, Puma has debuted its “clever little shopper” bags, which the company says are 100 percent biodegradable and will decompose in compost heaps in three months, Psfk reports. The cornstarch-based bags can also be dissolved in water in minutes, Puma says. It predictst hat the bags will save 192 tons of plastic and 293 tons of paper each year.

Meanwhile, Kimberly-Clark has expanded its membership in the Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN), a WWF initiative to eliminate illegal logging and conserve the world’s most valuable and threatened forests. Kimberly-Clark will now include its worldwide operations in the initiative, building on its existing GFTN membership in select countries, the company says.

Finally, the trade group European Bioplastics BV has criticized a North Carolina State University study that said biodegradable products do more harm than good in landfills, Waste & Recycling News reports.

The group said the study, titled “Is Biodegradability a Desirable Attribute for Discarded Solid Waste?” is misleading because it only examines one grade of bioplastics, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs).

4 thoughts on “Supervalu to Go Zero Waste at 40 Stores; Puma Bag Dissolves in Water

  1. That Puma bag doesn’t dissolve in cold water so it is still going to be a danger to aquatic life when it hits a waterway. The red dye looked disgusting going down the drain and they may claim that dye is eco-friendly, but they provided no data to back it up so I am sorry, not clever enough.

  2. Just what we need – a bag that melts when you put cold, sweating groceries into it. Brilliant idea guys. Just more proof that grocery corporate management doesn’t thing things thru properly.

  3. So um……. what do people do when it rains? Rain isn’t always cold.

    Once again, a 10 for effort but minus several million for good thinking!

  4. A comment above says the bag won’t dissolve in cold water. Is it more energy efficient to heat water for bag dissolving, or to burn the bag?

[Ashwamedh] The Right Thing

Day 1,880, 19:55 Published in India Serbia by Ind1anMartyr

This article is of two parts ... both allude to "the right thing" , the correct/important path

1. South Dalmatia

About time? I wish Croatia luck with their endeavours

2. Baby Boom and the war

I was missing last night but weekends are always reserved for my family ... I apologise but I simply cannot have it any other way 🙁

I will be on today and we need to intensify our efforts further since with the possible(?) exit of Croatia from India, we might run out of wars to fight! (yes Thailand might decide to come in and that should be interesting as well)

Can we please have the meeting as per usual at 9 pm IST? (7:30 erep time) on the same channel - #eindia.

I will be listing the sites I have targeted and the efforts made. I request all others to do the same. The common doc will be created by me and the link will be given to all BB dudes in the dicussion tonight.

thank you and remember THIS is where our real battle lies... THIS is what we need to approach with a war footing. The other battles in game are pointless especially with Serbia determined to keep Croatia in India ... it will just be a waste of resources to try and take on the Serbs AND Croatia who are individually 100x stronger than us!

Think smart , fight smart and volunteer for the real WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION ... the baby boom 😃

To quote a dear friendly tiger -

"I see it, because I've seen the same happen time and again before and because India shares many of the qualities Bulgaria and Chile before it had. Irreconcilable spirit of independence and justice, strength of character to stand up to ones convictions even in the face of overwhelming odds and a small tight-knit community ready to endure hardships in the name of future prosperity. It does not complain that it is overwhelmed (like some master-card cry me a river countries south of Macedonia), it sucks it up and fights back."

when the police don’t show: how to report your accident

Police reports are important for the post-accident claim process. But what if the police aren't able to show up to the scene of your accident? What's your next step? We'll explain why this happens and what you can do to make sure an official accident report exists.

3 reasons the police may not show

There are 3 primary reasons the police may not arrive at the scene after you call 911.

No injuries

The police generally assign certain levels of priority to incidents. Depending on what else is going on, your accident may not be a priority if nobody was injured.

Property damage was too minor

Some jurisdictions may not send an officer if the accident damage is minor. If you think the damage is under $500, the local police may not be required to take a report at the scene.

Weather conditions

During extreme weather (blizzards, earthquakes, severe storms, etc.), the police might not be able to take your accident report in person. This may be because the accident damage is considered minor compared to other accidents or traffic situations.

reporting the car accident

Even though the police don't always make it to the scene, reporting your accident is still important. The police dispatcher may be able to explain how you can file an official report after the fact.

Filing an official accident report

If the police can't come to the scene of your car accident, you can go to them — in person or (sometimes) online. Head to the nearest police department (or their website) to file an incident report yourself. Some states require that you file a report if there's a certain amount of damage involved — in Massachusetts, for example, you have 5 business days to report a car accident if damage exceeded $1,000, someone was injured, or a driver fled the scene.

Even if the damage seems minor, an official report can help in case something unexpected happens. If the other driver decides to sue for damages or you notice a clicking sound days after the crash, for example, the official report can present an objective account of what happened.

Before heading to the nearest police department, it helps to have this info handy:

  • Names and insurance information of the drivers involved
  • Names and phone numbers of any witnesses
  • Pictures of both vehicles at the scene

no police at the scene, no problem filing your claim

There are times when police officers are too busy or don't consider an accident serious enough to arrive at the scene. It happens, and it doesn't need to affect your car insurance claim.

If you're an Esurance customer and you're involved in an accident, file your claim online or call us at 1-800-ESURANCE (1-800-378-7262) as soon as you can. A dedicated claims rep will help you get the process started and give you some helpful advice on how to get the official police report.

is water damage covered by my condo insurance policy?

Water damage can be one of the stickier perils for condo owners, but we don't want anyone to feel hung out to dry after a claim. Learn about the various forms of condo water damage so you'll know when you likely will (and won't) be covered.

water damage in your condo building

Here's a nifty secret to condo living: it can really simplify your insurance needs. That's because your homeowners association, which you belong to with your fellow condo dwellers, carries master HOA insurance that covers threats to your building and its common areas.

So if water damages things like the lobby, elevators, building exterior, parking garage, or other shared spaces, it's often not something individual unit owners have to worry about!

water damage in your unit

Condo water damage in the individual unit is typically the responsibility of the condo owner, not the HOA. As you'll see, whether or not you're covered under your personal condo insurance depends on the source of your water damage.

When you're usually covered by condo insurance

Burst pipe

If water suddenly starts spraying out of your kitchen sink, for example, that's something your condo insurance can often take care of.

Water backup

An overflowing toilet or shower drain in your place would likely be covered under the water backup coverage portion of your condo insurance.

Water from common area

Say you live in a top-floor condo and water drips through a leaky roof, damaging your furniture. Who pays for this? Since the roof is owned by the HOA, ideally the HOA insurance would cover the whole thing. Sadly, that's not always the case. Your personal condo insurance may have to be used to repair the inside of your unit, while the HOA coverage fixes the roof.

If the water is proven to be a result of negligence on the HOA's part, you may be able to cover everything through its master policy.

When you might not be covered by condo insurance

Many condo insurance policies exclude flooding from their list of covered perils. Flooding usually denotes water that hits the ground first and then rises into your place, such as you might get from a hurricane or mudslide.

Water damage beginning in another unit

If your water damage actually originates in another condo owner's unit, sorting out the claim isn't always easy. Your HOA and your condo insurer may avoid getting involved, in which case you'd need to go through the other condo owner's insurance. Make sure to talk (nicely, of course!) with your neighbors — discuss the situation and gather their coverage info to make sure the matter gets settled.

flood protection options

You can supplement your coverage with flood insurance, which will help make sure heavy rains, storms, hurricanes, and all sorts of other disasters don't leave you up a creek.

Public Release:

The race for biofuels driving alternative sources of biomass

When will biofuels be at all local fuel pumps and from where will they come?

Crop Science Society of America

Researchers have been studying fuels from biomass for years. Now, with growing dependency on foreign oils and an energy-conscious society emerging, biofuels are fast becoming part of a fuel revolution that could reach pumps all across America.

Ethanol blends are already available at some gas stations. However, their availability varies from state to state, depending on the volume of ethanol produced. Sources of biomass for biofuel production in each state also vary widely.

"To see it everywhere, we have to make more of it on a regional basis," says Dr. Bill Rooney, professor of plant breeding and genetics, Soil & Crop Sciences Department, Texas A&M University. "The best source for biofuel in a region is contingent on the environment, growing season, water and fertility availability, stress resistance, and processing and conversion techniques. In any location, there will be several species grown for biomass."

Approximately 20 percent of grain sorghum is now used for ethanol production. Rooney is currently developing sorghum varieties specifically for bioenergy. He will discuss this topic on Wednesday, Nov. 7 during his talk, "Sorghum Breeding for Bioenergy Traits," at the International Annual Meetings of the American Society of Agronomy (ASA), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA) and Soil Science Society of America (SSSA). He will speak at 2:30 pm during the symposium "Breeding and Genomics of Crops for Bioenergy" at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, room 207.

Another presentation related to biofuels, "Sweet Fuel for the U.S.", will be given by Dr. Jorge Da Silva, associate professor of molecular genetics and plant breeding, Soil & Crop Sciences Department, Texas A&M University, on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 10:15 am. His presentation will be during the symposium "Agronomic Aspects of Biofuel Crop Production" in room 214 of the Convention Center.

"Production of energy, such as ethanol, from sugar is more efficient than production from grains in both cost per unit and energy efficiency," Da Silva says. "Sugarcane is ranked first among all other crops for biomass production and can be a key component of biomass supply. Technology for producing ethanol from sugarcane is well established in tropical countries such as Brazil, where energy independence has been achieved."

Although there is no finite development timeline, there is clearly a race for biofuels as the cost of petroleum reaches previously unimaginable levels, reserves diminish, and environmental concerns soar. If won, this race could bring about a revolution as significant as Henry Ford's creation of the Model T car.

The ASA-CSSA-SSSA Annual Meetings will be Nov. 4-8 at the Morial Convention Center. More than 4,000 scientists and professionals from around the world will attend research presentations on climate change, urban planning, crop production, hazardous waste, human health, bioenergy and more. For information about the meetings, including the abstracts online, go to

The ASA (, CSSA ( and SSSA ( are educational organizations helping their 11,000+ members advance the disciplines and practices of agronomy, crop and soil sciences by supporting professional growth and science policy initiatives, and by providing quality, research-based publications and a variety of member services.

He Wants to Postpone the Wedding: What to Do

Many women go through this: the bridegroom wants to postpone the wedding. It can due to any reason, maybe he’s nervous, anxious or he is just not ready. No matter what the reason is, you must not worry about it. Read on to find out what you should do and what not to do if he wants to postpone the wedding.

He Wants to Postpone the Wedding: What to Do and What Not to Do

What to do if he wants to postpone the wedding

  • Dealing with your emotions. First of all, we all know it is hard to go through this. But stay positive, surrounding yourself with positive people would really help. It's OK to talk to friends you trust and ask them to support you.

  • When you calm down, try to understand that it could happen to anyone. Marriage is something you have to prepare yourself to and wedding itself is big, it's normal for anyone to have cold feet before such a big event.

  • Discuss it with your fiancé. Bring the topic up in a safe and private place, where you both can talk freely. Ensure that you have a minimum of one hour to discuss the matter with your partner, so you could get the full story. Listen carefully to the concerns of your fiancé. Notice the situations and words that make him nervous and then aim to diminish those things. Take help from both non-verbal and verbal cues. You must be considerate, open, patient, and understanding, while listening to your fiancé. Encourage him to express his feelings and concerns, and talk in a positive way to ease his tension.

  • Talk to a counselor. If you are not that good at talking to people, then maybe you can try to seek professional help. Make sure you stay calm during counselling, and follow the counselor's instructions to solve your problem.

  • Make the decision. When you find out the reason, you can start to solve the problem. If your fiancé is worried about certain details of the wedding, then you two can discuss it and work things out. If he is not ready for the wedding, you can give him some time to think things through. And make sure you express your feelings as well.

What not to do if he wants to postpone the wedding

While there are some things that you must do if your fiancé want to postpone the marriage, there are also some things that you should not do in the same situation. Just have a look at those things.

  • Do not be angry, while listening to your partner’s concerns.

  • Do not be dishonest, when you are discussing the matter with your fiancé.

  • Do not ignore or write off the feelings of your fiancé, as it is very important for your future that you know what your partner feels about you, your relationship, as well as the wedding

  • Do not mention the wedding for some time, say for some weeks. But after that, you must definitely sit down and talk it out with your partner.

  • Do not give him pressure, but make sure that he understands that it takes two to make things go ringht.

What people say about the situation when he wants to postpone the wedding?

It is not only you, who has come across such a situation. There are lot of girls who have gone through a similar situation. Let us see some of the cases, where one of the partners wants to postpone the marriage. Additionally, check out how these people handled such a situation and how everything ended.

  • “I Postponed My Wedding Due to Anxiety and Depression”

When asked by my fiancé, whether I have doubts or second thoughts about our marriage, I just told him that I was feeling confused and nervous. After that I went into depression for some time. Finally, after consulting a counselor I came to know that it is my marriage that is disturbing me. Fortunately, one day my fiancé said to me that he wants to delay the marriage. I happily agreed to him. So, we postponed our wedding for a year and now I am informing everyone on my guest list that the marriage has been postponed. And I feel relax and happy, it's not that we are calling off the wedding, we just need some time to prepare ourselves.

  • “How postponing my wedding saved my marriage”

As my wedding day grew closer, I started fighting with my fiancé on the most dumbest and foolish things. After talking to a friend of mine, I realized that I am really nervous about the wedding, not the man I am going to marry. Then, one day I got a really nice job offer that would take me away from my partner for a year. After talking to my partner, he encouraged me to take the offer. Soon, I got to know that my spouse also wants to put off the marriage, but was afraid to tell this to me. So, we both decided that we will get married, when we both want to do it. After all, the wedding is about us and not the people around us. And now we are happily married!

  • “My fiancé wants to reschedule our wedding (again)”

It’s not the first, but the second time that my fiancé wants to reschedule our wedding. I really want to marry him, but other than that I also respect his feelings and decision. However, going through it all over again and again cancelling the arrangements is really stressful for me. Although, he has told me that he will still do it to please me, but I am really confused as to what should I do. I'm thinking of getting professional help.

Ember Lou Larson | Wiki | Everipedia, the encyclopedia of everything

Ember Lou Larson

I was born in a small town along the Missouri River in the Midwest, actually in the same hospital my mother was born in. I lived in South Dakota until I was twenty years old. Then, I traveled south and made my home in the desert mountains of Northern Arizona .
I began professionally performing my own material back in South Dakota at local coffee houses and bars. I sold hundreds of homemade albums and got very comfortable as a performing musician. My influences range across a number of genres. Here are some of my favorite artists throughout the years: Tori Amos, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Ennio Morricone, Nick Drake, Elliot Smith and many more. In the Spring of 2011, I wrote, produced, directed, and starred in the folk opera The Severed Kingdom. I have been nominated for a Buckey Award for Excellence in the Arts: Outstanding Musician of the Year in 2011 (top ten finalist) and 2013.

Posies labels

Back to the sixties. A profusion of big and small stylized flowers in rich bright colors tells the whole story: it's time for a fun and happy party! One of the flowers has a round center that is just waiting for a photo. The birthday girl? The wedding couple? The mama-to-be? The main lettering is a fun sixties-style where the different letters are various heights and they interlock to create very interesting text with a lot of movement. Many choices of colors so you can mix and match for even more excitement! Customize Posies labels today!

About Labels

Made of sturdy, waterproof material, our Posies labels are peel-and-stick and come on sheets measuring 9" x 12". Depending on the size of the labels, there are between 6 and 60 labels on each sheet. Waterproof labels have a soft sheen like an eggshell finish, print with fine detail and rich color - and are writeable with a sharpie or marker. They will do just fine immersed in an ice bath or a refrigerator. Posies labels are easy to reposition or remove from smooth surfaces such as glass, metal and plastic plus the rigidity of the material allows them to be applied virtually bubble-free. Make all your special events and products memorable with Evermine personalized Posies labels.

Note: Waterproof labels are not guaranteed to withstand a trip through the dishwasher because some dishwasher detergents are caustic and may cause the inks to dissolve.
