327 Federal Magnum
I am thinking about getting a .327 Fed Magnum revolver. From what I've read, this caliber seems to have a lot going for it. I am trying to introduce my wife to the shooting sports and it will make me feel better when I am away from home. But she is terrified of guns. I was finally able to entice her to go to an indoor range with me and I let her shot my 3 different revolvers, the 686, model 19, and the 638 J frame, all with 158 gr SWC .38 spcl ammo. She has a small hand so the 686 was out. She can shoot the 19 and the 638 in SA mode (rhymes with "male chicken" the hammer). She liked the model 19 out of the two because of lower recoil, but it it's a bit heavy for her. The J frame is a good size for her, but with it was just too much recoil for her.
Forget about the semi's. She did not like the idea of slide move after pulling the trigger. I also doubt that her hands are strong enough to pull release the slide.
So obviously a revolver is the right answer for her, but at what caliber? I had initially thought of the .22LR then I've read some good thing about the .32 H magnum. But then I read about the new .327 Federal Magnum which I really like. of 431 ft lb with a Speer 115 grain Gold Dot JHP
Its recoil is less than half of .357 mangum
It can fire .32 H magnum and .32 S Long cartridges
So this is what I am thinking:
IF I buy a .327 fed. magnum revolver, I can teach my wife to shoot .32 H magnum which is a lot less recoil. The .32 H is no slouch neither and she can use that caliber for self defense.buying a .22LR revolver? (have you seen the price of a DA .22LR revolver??? )
What other considerations that I am missing? Any recommendations on which revolver?
Contrary to all logic (believe it or not), the .38 spl. full wadcutter (target type ammunition) has Authentic Jacob Tamme Jersey a pretty good track record when it comes to defensive use.
As you may or may not be aware, this load has a modest recoil and is much less loud than more conventional defensive loads.
At the end of the day, it is still a larger bullet making bigger holes, with a bullet style that cuts a significant hole in tissue.
As final thought, I Jacob Tamme Jersey would personally obtain a box of "factory' ammo for this use, (as opposed to the frequently encountered reloads).
Feel free to ignore this advise if for any reason you have your heart set on a new pistol.

Behavioral Views of Learning
In the text, learning is defined as a change in knowledge and/or behaviour that occurs exclusively through experience. (p 197) For example, the experience of reading a textbook brings about additional factual knowledge. This learning is deliberate. On Aqib Talib Jersey the other hand, the experience of placing one's tongue against a frozen metal post for the first time may prompt the avoidance of a similar situation in the future. Interestingly, in the latter example, both new knowledge (tongue sticks to frozen metal) and new behaviours (don't do it) are gained. This learning is inadvertent.
Thus, learning may be intentional or unintentional; however, it is always initiated by the learner's interaction with his or her environment. It follows that changes attributed to natural development, such as maturation, do not qualify as learning. (p 197) This condition is logically sound with respect to physiological developments such as growing taller or turning gray. However, it could also be understood to suggest that learning benefits often associated with mental maturation are actually a product of experiences accumulated with age. While it is clear that neurological development does not in itself constitute the act of learning, its exclusion undermines the significance of the constantly changing adolescent brain. For example, if the ability to reason is associated with the development of the frontal lobe, can critical thinking be considered a learned skill? What are the implications for abstract thought?
Given the dichotomy of knowledge and behaviour, the study of learning is divided into cognitive and behavioural points of view. Cognitive psychologists emphasize internal mental processes such as thinking, remembering and problem solving. Conversely, the behavioural perspective assumes that learning causes observable changes in behaviour. (p 197) It is not clear why there is such an insistence on favouring one position over the other both knowledge and behaviour are clearly essential to learning. Furthermore, it could be said that behaviour is enacted knowledge and that knowledge is potential behaviour.

Early Explanations of Learning: Contiguity and Classical Conditioning (pp. 199 202)[edit]
I was very intrigued by the discussion in the chapter about classical conditioning and how it can relate to learning in the classroom. Discovered by Ivan Pavlov, who was able to train dogs to salivate at the sound of a tuning fork, classical conditioning is described as an association of automatic responses with new stimuli (Woolfolk et. al, pg. 199 200). In the classroom students' emotional reactions to different situations are often viewed as a result of classical conditioning. In Authentic Aqib Talib Jersey particular, I was interested in how emotional reactions will often disrupt learning. For example, the stress and anxiety that many students feel during tests or presentations, which can often result in a poor performance. I wonder if there is a way to apply the theory of classical conditioning to eliminate the stress and possibly evoke a different emotion during a test or performance time. My concern with this suggestion is that firstly it seems unrealistic to test students so frequently, and also that perhaps this continuous testing will just perpetuate the anxiety for the student. Perhaps pairing a test with a positive stimulus could decrease the stress that is created in this situation. In my own experience my high school sociology teacher would give us candy as we took a test. A testing day was much less dreaded by the class because we knew that we would be given a treat. In theory this seems like a potential solution to the negative emotions that a test can produce. However, is it merely setting up students to perform poorly in a testing situation that doesn't provide a positive stimulus?
Can a teacher use classical conditioning to reduce negative emotional reactions, or would the use of reinforcements, such as in operant conditioning, be more effective?
JollyJamie (talk) 06:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
In response to the above question, I think that the use of both methods can be effective. However, since an example of operant conditioning has already been provided I will touch upon classical conditioning. I think testing can be something not feared if it is introduced from the very beginning of classes as a positive experience so that it creates feelings of pleasure instead of pain. including material that has been taught, and not providing trick questions). The former can be accomplished in two ways. The first is the the teacher's demeanour. If the teacher is calm, cheerful and optimistic she can help to alleviate some pre test anxiety. Secondly, if the test space provided is peaceful and comfortable while the testing is being administered (ex. soft relaxation music) this can also help. If from the very beginning of the year, the setting for testing is associated with positive variables, the students should not associate testing with fear.
Perhaps a way to overcome this sense of fear is by continually assessing students. By incorporating small quizzes, tests, or assignments, which will simply be used as an assessment tool by the teacher and students (and not graded), students may begin to feel comfortable and more at ease during a graded quiz/test. People often feel anxious in unfamiliar environments. They especially feel anxious when they are being evaluated. I remember the first time I had to play in a recital, I was so nervous I could not control my shaking hands and made countless mistakes from over thinking. However, over the years, I have had many opportunities to perform in public. Now, not only am I relaxed and comfortable when I play in public, I actually enjoy the experience. By providing students with ungraded tests (written in the same format as their upcoming graded tests), students may be more relaxed during the graded tests. They are now familiar with the format, phrasing of questions, and have a firm understanding of the types of questions the teacher may ask. Another option to overcome fear is to change the format of the tests. For example, open book tests, take home tests, or allow students to bring in one small cheat. All of these formats still require the students to apply their knowledge, however, students may feel more control over their end product.
In response to the two above postings, (especially the one on operant conditioning)I think that making Authentic Louis Vasquez Jersey testing more positive for students also ties into the section on Mastery Learning on pages 215 and 216 of the text. This idea that all students can master a skill, or achieve an 80 90% mark in a testing situation, before moving onto the next level. I know one teacher who does not allow her students to fail an evaluation. She allows them multiple tries of a similar task, until they get it right. Instead of going in thinking they will fail, these students know that they will eventually succeed, which eliminates some of the pre test panic. As the text states, there are problems with this system, but I have seen this system work when it is adapted for only certain struggling members of the class. As students know they will have many tries to succeed, this could be another Louis Vasquez Jersey way to condition students to associate tests with positive consequences instead of the negative consequence of failing.

They are now familiar with the format, phrasing of questions, and have a firm understanding of the types of questions the teacher may ask.
In accordance with Liz's response, I have seen a similar system work where a teacher has allowed for students to re submit their work once the teacher has done a 'basic' marking on the assignment. This practice was particularly used in music theory class for those students who were able to grasp the concepts, but were having trouble applying them to the 'big picture'. This way students were able to see their mistakes, and were given opportunities T.J. Ward Jersey to re write the assignment, this time making a connect as to why their result was wrong, and could seek further help how to do it properly. Assignments became more than just a 'grade', because it was the satisfaction of mastering a technique and being able to move on to the next step. This was a very smart idea as the teacher encouraged not only independent learning, but also it was a form of operant conditioning (touching on the next topic pg. could choose to re do the assignment or be satisfied with the original mark) and because of the constant learning in music theory, students would realize sooner or later that they would need to fully grasp concepts before being able to move on.
To make matters more interesting, this same teacher allowed students to bring in a 'cheat sheet' into their test. One single sided, blank piece of paper where they could write anything except for examples. Because students went to such detailed lengths when filling up this piece of paper, when it came to the test, students no longer needed to use this sheet, as they had done a through job of studying and already new the material inside and out. Obviously this method would not work with all students, but for those students who have the tendency to 'freeze' in test situation, it was the perfect way for students to feel more competent.
As a music major in university we were given as many chances to perform in a friendly, supportive, low stress environment as possible. Though my instructors never used the term "Classical Conditioning" I believe that this is exactly what they were attempting, in hopes of aleviating performance anxiety in students. The problem with this Authentic T.J. Ward Jersey is that a performance situation is an unconditioned stimulus which evokes a very primitive "fight or flight" response that is hardwired into every human individual. In short, when a person is experiencing performance anxiety part of their brain is telling them that their lives are in danger. This is obviously an irrational, unconditioned response, but overcoming such a strong basic instinct is near impossible for some people. Some performers are able to channel the "fight" instinct into creative energy that drives their performance, while others devote several hours before a performance to meditation in order to convince their mind that what they're about to experience is not a life or death situation.
Are there methods we, as teachers of the arts, can use in the classroom to extinguish the unconditioned responses associated with performance anxiety?
Barcelona to Acquire Alen Halilovic Despite FIFA Transfer Ban

Barcelona announced that they have signed Alen Halilovic, but the deal was surrounded by questions about whether or not it will push through after FIFA handed the Spanish club a two year transfer ban.

Barca, who acquired Halilovic from Croatian soccer club Dinamo Zagreb for a million euro initial fee ($3,014,660.00 USD), will not be able to sign players in the next two years' transfer windows after allegedly violating youth transfer related FIFA rules.
But lawyer Jean Louis Dupont, who handled Jean Marc Bosman's case during the 1990s, clarified that Halilovic's impending transfer should not be thrown into question because it was finalized before the sanction was announced.
"I cannot imagine for even a second that my client Alen Halilovic will not be able to play for Barcelona," Dupon told Spanish radio stationEsports RAC1, via ESPN. "The operation took place before the punishment was imposed."
But while Halilovic's Barca transfer might go through as planned, Womens Wes Welker Jersey Catalan Website Sport reported that Marco Reus' impending move to Camp Nou could be shelved.
Reus was reportedly very interested in moving to Barca next season with reports indicating that the Catalan club is ready to pay million ($41.15 Authentic Peyton Manning Jersey million $54.87 million USD) to acquire the Borussia Dortmund midfielder.
Borussia Moenchengladbach goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen was also reportedly ready to make a move to Camp Nou this summer, but the ban will force the German international to consider Wes Welker Jersey other options.
Barcelona is expected to appeal the FIFA sanction, reiterating that they abided by the rules governing transfers of players under 18 years old.
Dupont believes that the decision should be reversed, insisting that Barca's La Masia academy should not be subjected to rules that aim to combat child "trafficking."
"FIFA has done well to identify the problem, but I believe they are giving out the wrong medicine," Dupont pointed out. "When FIFA's prohibitions do not allow a future for a boy and his family, Authentic DeMarcus Ware Jersey it is the rules which are wrong. It does not surprise me that Barca sign a kid of 11 years old, if guarantees are given that he will be given an education and correct social support.".
CH football academic counselor fired in wake of Authentic Demaryius Thomas Jersey Wainstein report
Former University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill football academic counselor Jamie Lee is one of four people terminated as a result of an independent investigation into academic fraud, the university said Tuesday as part of a public records request.
Ten media organizations, including Capitol Broadcasting Co., the parent company of WRAL News, filed suit Monday to obtain the names of UNC Chapel Hill faculty and staff who were fired or disciplined in the wake of an outside investigation into academic fraud at the school.
Former federal prosecutor Kenneth Wainstein released a 131 page report on Oct. 22 that showed academic advisers, including Lee, steered student athletes for 18 years toward courses in UNC Chapel Hill's African and Afro American Studies department that never met and required only a short paper to pass.
The Wainstein investigation revealed Lee, as well as football counselors Cynthia Reynolds and Beth Bridger were aware of the classes, and in some cases, told the department's manager, Deborah Crowder, that the grades that would be required to keep players eligible.
According to the report, a meeting was held in November 2009 between UNC football coaches and the counseling staff to discuss Crowder's retirement. In that meeting, Bridger and Lee explained to the football staff including former head coach Butch Davis that "the AFAM paper classes had played a large role in keeping under prepared and/or unmotivated football players eligible to play," and the classes no longer existed. The notes from the meeting were later forwarded to Senior Associate Director of Athletics John Blanchard and Academic Support Program for Student Athletes Director Robert Mercer.
Between 1999 and 2011, the report noted "there were 963 enrollments of football players in AFAM paper classes." Davis was fired less than a month before the start of the 2011 season.
Lee was initially hired as a temporary full time employee on Aug. 28, 2006, she became a full time academic counselor on Aug. 6, 2007. In May 2013 Lee transferred departments and began working in the Academic Support Program for Student Athletes.
Chancellor Carol Folt called the no show classes "an inexcusable betrayal" but she and other university officials have previously refused to disclose the names of Demaryius Thomas Jersey those who have been fired or disciplined, arguing that any actions taken aren't final until grievance hearings have been held and all appeals have been exhausted.
By contrast, UNC Wilmington announced the day after Wainstein released his report that former UNC Chapel Hill academic adviser Bridger, who joined the the University of North Carolina at Wilmington staff earlier this year, had been fired because of her role in the sham classes.
Wainstein's report names at least 16 faculty and staff members as being directly or indirectly involved in the scheme, according to the lawsuit, and UNC Chapel Hill officials have provided, when asked by media organizations, information about those people that "appears to be historical in nature" but doesn't reflect their status after Oct. 24.
Not speaking for him/her, but I believe you misunderstood the retired professor. He is correct that the Provost (THE chief "academic officer" of a university) and Deans have THE responsibility for the "academics" of the univeristy. while NO coach has such responsibility. Although it Womens Von Miller Jersey is my opinion that Womens Ryan Clady Jersey as employees of an Ryan Clady Jersey institution of higher education the Von Miller Jersey coaches should be expected to not create conflicts with the academic mission! That said. I believe the good retired prof is saying that the "responsible leadership" at UNC have not suffered any consequences of the scandal. even though they "permitted" it to continue for two decades! I believe he/she believes the academic leadership SHOULD have been affected via some punitive consequences!
