Dairy farmers considering making changes to their milking system can now access CowTimes popular Dairy Decisions interactive program on the web for free.
Dairy Decisions takes farmers through the process of planning improvements to their dairy, including evaluating their current milking operation, assessing future needs, reviewing the options and documenting a plan.
It can be used to help make a wide range of decisions, such as purchasing or modifying a small piece of equipment, planning a major upgrade or considering whether to expand the farm or enter into a share-farming agreement.
Dairy Decisions brings together a range of CowTime tools and resources including Milking Monitor, Dairy Comparer, CowTime Guidelines and Quick Notes.
It also features a number of videos that were used in the popular Shed Shake-up series and are a great source of ideas.
The program is easy to use, allowing the user to go straight to the areas of interest and work at their own pace.
For people who prefer listening to reading, theres an audio option. CowTimes Darold Klindworth talks through the Dairy Decisions topics. His voice is familiar to the many dairy farmers who have attended CowTime Shed Shake-ups over the years.
Dairy Decisions was previously only available on CD for $35, but is now available at no cost here on the CowTime website.

And when the computer provides control again to the driving force, it may perhaps accomplish that in essentially the most Severe and demanding predicaments. The 3 Air France pilots experienced two or 3 minutes to work out what to do when their autopilot requested them to acquire in excess of an A330 – what possibility would you or I have when the pc within our automobile says, "Automated manner disengaged" and we glance up from our smartphone screen to check out a bus careening towards us?
Although the airplane's air pace was evaporating; it will quickly begin to slide down through the storm and in direction of the water, 37,five hundred ft under.

Monderman, who died in 2008, was quite possibly the most well-known of a small group of site visitors planners throughout the world who happen to be pushing in opposition to the pattern in here direction of an ever-tidier strategy for producing traffic flow efficiently and safely. The standard strategy is to give motorists the clearest possible guidance as to what they ought to do and in which they should go: targeted visitors lights, bus lanes, cycle lanes, still left- and correct-filtering site visitors signals, railings to confine pedestrians, and naturally indicators hooked up to each accessible surface, forbidding or permitting different manoeuvres.
This isn't to mention that we must always demand death to your databases and algorithms. There is certainly not less than some reputable position for computerised attempts to investigate criminal suspects, and hold traffic flowing. Even so the databases and also the algorithm, just like the autopilot, need to be there to guidance human determination-earning. If we rely on computers fully, catastrophe awaits.

"We must further strengthen the multi-dimensional cooperation between Eritrea and Egypt," President Isaias
Part I-III Full Text
Written by shabait Administrator |
Saturday June 3, 2017 |
Q:-Many have been concerned with respect to the intensive work visits and discussions between senior government officials of Eritrea and Egypt as part of the bilateral relationship between the two countries. Some also tend to distort this situation and speculate about its negative effect on our region. Further, it has been repeatedly claimed (propagated) that Egypt is establishing a military base in Eritrea. What is the basis of this speculation andwhat are the pillars of the relations between Eritrea and Egypt, and other countries in the region as well?
Let me first convey my best wishes for a happy Independence Day to the Eritrean people living inside and outside the country as well as to the friends of Eritrea.
In regard to the bilateral ties between Eritrea and Egypt, I do not wish to dwell on innuendos but rather focus on the substantive issues. It must be seen within the context and framework of our regional policy. That our ties are growing at a fast pace in various sectors and field is too palpable to merit emphasis. The underlying doctrine of our foreign policy is naturally anchored on our domestic situation and geared towards the promotion of a congenial regional environment or safe neighborhood which will significantly influence the successful implementation of our domestic plans and projects. We have to exert vigorous efforts to promote this reality. The cultivation of common understanding with all our partners in the region is indeed imperative for the establishment of robust ties. Ties fostered for tactical or short-term benefits will not be sustainable. In spite of considerable challenges, we have been pursuing an active and not passive diplomacy in the past 25/26 years to create the desired conducive environment with all the countries and peoples in our wider neighbourhood.
The Red Sea is one of the four constituent geographic pillars in our wider region. The importance of the Red Sea Region is too evident to merit explanation. The second geographic zone is the Horn of Africa that includes Kenya. The Nile Basin is the adjacent region that extends westwards. The fourth part is the Gulf States region. All these regions or sub-regions have interrelated linkages in strategic terms. The geopolitical and economic importance of these wider region in global terms are also obvious and primary causes for the various conflicts that have raged in the past 25 years as well as in preceding periods. These conflicts must be resolved to usher in a stable neighborhood. Upheavals, wars, atrocities, conflicts had become the order of the day in the past 25 years. The mayhem has become boundless in the past four/five years. Why are conflicts exacerbated and deteriorating from bad to worse with time in this region? Do these conflicts stem from the domestic realities in each country? Are these provoked by strained ties between the countries in the region? Are they instigated by mainly extremist forces who have their own disparate agendas? The negative implications of these conflicts both in regional and global terms cannot also be underrated...........................

Invisible Artist Becomes Million-Dollar Icon
He's been labeled as an "anarchist", "guerrilla artist", the "invisible man" (The New Yorker, Lauren Collins), but the Banksy today is anything but invisible. The Wooster Collective has commented on the Banksy Effect: how a street artist gains so many fans and the art for the "outsider" becomes faddish. They are not the first one to coin the term, CNN used "Banksy Effect" all the way back in Dec, 2006. But now, Bansky is bigger than just an "effect", in fact, he'Graffiti May Total $2 Mln at Auctions, Gay Bar.
To Bansky's fans, he's omni-present, he's seen all around London, Brighton and Bournemouth; he's at the West Bank barrier; and his new work (?) appeared in Bristol, his home town, but to those serious collectors and biographers, Bansky might just be a little bit too mysterious. He once displayed a dead rat in London's Natural History Museum, he installed a Guantanamo bay inmate inside the Disney Thunder Mountain Railroad ride, but so far, he has not revealed his real name.
To know more about Bansky, go to his website, or read LA Weekly interview and Guardian Hattenstone's interview with Banksy.

I had steak last night. Haven't had that in about six months. It was good. Went to my favorite steak place and also had salad, loaded baked potato and an appetizer.
The good news is I had nearly all my salad, four bites of potato and half the 7 ounce steak. I was absolutely stuffed. I also had half the appetizer. But seriously, no way another bite could get in there!
Is this what they mean by having your cake and eating it too? If I can have a little steak every six months or so, I'm happy :-)

Rotting bodies, looted buildings and a grim silence mark the once bustling town of Bosso in southeastern Niger following one of Boko Haram's deadliest ever attacks in the west African nation. "Corpses littered the streets," said Abdelaziz Zembada, a 50-year-old local shopkeeper on a visit to see if it was safe to return for good. Boko Haram attacked a military post in town on June 3, killing 26 soldiers, including two from neighbouring Nigeria, and a number of civilians as well.

As I've mentioned previously the girls have taken up sleeping in the same bed. The other morning, I couldn't resist grabbing the camera and taking a few pictures of them. It didn't take long before the flash started to ruffle some feathers and I got some grumpy faces.
On another note.... Cody pooped in the potty yesterday. He said he needed to poop and dropped a small one out of luck I think. He loves to sit on the potty like the triplets, but hasn't really made the connection with regard to what he is suppose to do once on the potty, but I think he is ready to start potty training. Given he is so young, we aren't going to push it, but let him try when he wants to.
Woo Hoo, my parents are sitting tonight so I get a date night with my husband!!!!

Hey ya'll! I have a really pretty shade for ya'll today. :) This is Ulta~ Think Pink. Isn't it gorgeous??? I just completely fell in love with it. It's a really simple pink... but it's just so fun to wear! I caught myself staring at my nails all the time!
It went on perfectly, and I used three coats. At first, I thought I was going to have a really hard time getting it to dry... but it actually dried very quickly. It lasted about a week... and I didn't have to do any touchups! Awesome! :)
What do ya'll think? And what do you think about the Ulta polishes?

"She will stay at home from tomorrow," the husband was unhappy that his wife received no pay for being present at the office. I had arranged for the Myanmar employment agent to come to my office to let the husband speak out in his Myanmar language as there may be miscommunications and a 3rd party is best. This meeting was held yesterday at nearly 11.30 am after a busy morning of consultations.
The wife had stayed in Singapore for one month. She got a Dependent's Pass from the Ministry of Manpower. But the approval to work will be given only after 3 months in Singapore. A Letter of Consent needs to be applied by an employer. So, she could not be employed. Neither do I need any new hires.
"Your decision is OK with me," I said. "The English people will say that there is 'no free lunch'. As a husband, you are the head of the household. You are the leader and you have decided."
So the wife stays at home waiting for her husband to come home, instead of acquiring some work skills, experience in computer use and understanding Singaporean English. The present generation of the Myanmar people had graduated with a poor knowledge of English and computer literacy owing to its history. If they want to learn, they can do it in Singapore.
"I am the leader of this company and I have to make sure it earns some income to pay the employees and overheads. I can go bankrupt if I don't manage well. I make work decisions to make sure that the office is run properly to survive the competition. In 2015, there are over 70 vet clinics in Singapore and business per clinic must be lesser.
The husband understood the highly competitive nature of the veterinary industry in Singapore as he was here for over one year.
Some of my employees may not be happy with such decisions. I have explained again and again why I make the decisions to sustain the business. Employees want the best work conditions but they need to be realistic. They can always resign and join another company if they are capable and experienced.
"What is it in for me?" an employee will always think. "I don't care if the employer loses money or go bankrupt." There is not always another job waiting nowadays for most people.
My employment agent had spoken by phone to my vet assistant the day before and assumed that he was happy with her explanation. Yet I don't think so and wanted a face-to-face meeting today, Saturday. This gives the employee a chance to voice out his side of the story as regards his wife's employment situation. The agent had already told him and he was aware that there would be no employment for the first 3 months after getting a Dependent's Pass. His wife was free to stay at home all day long.

Wow, it's like you were in my mind as I was wandering a shopping area just yesterday. I spotted myself in a window and thought, Really? Where did that bubble butt come from? It was very disconcerting but it probably saved me money--I bought nothing, tried on nothing. Could be a long summer...
What kills me is that I have clothes in a particular size at home, but when I go to try on that same number at the store? They don't fit. How is that?

I just put two-and-two together: this is the man who torched Kathy Henderson's car just over two weeks ago! I wonder if this qualifies her for a police escort home?
From MPD:
The Metropolitan Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in helping to locate an escaped prisoner.
At approximately 3:30 am, on Friday, June 30, 2006, a 1991 Mercury Capri was set ablaze at 1807 L Street, NE. A second vehicle, a 1999 Suzuki Vitary, was also damaged as a result of the fire.
A subsequent investigation by members of the department's Fifth District led to the arrest of 34-year-old James D. Bell, of no fixed address. He was arrested, without incident, at 19th Street and Maryland Avenue, NE, at approximately 4:24 pm, on Saturday, July 15, 2006, and charged with Destruction of Property. At approximately 10 am, on Monday, July 17, 2006, Mr. Bell was being transported from the Fifth District station, located at 1805 Bladensburg Road, NE, to the department's Central Cell Block, located at 300 Indiana Avenue, NW. While in the 1300 block of Maryland Avenue, NE, Mr. Bell apparently managed to force or kick open the back door of the transport wagon and make good his escape.
James D. Bell is described as a 34-year-old black male, 6'1" tall, approximately 150 pounds with braided type hair. He has a tombstone-shaped tattoo with the letters "RIP" on his upper right arm and a heart-shaped tattoo with the word "TANYA" on his upper left arm. He was last seen wearing a black jump suit.
Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of James D. Bell, or who sees him, should take no direct action but should call police at (202) 727-9099 or 911.
From WTOP:
D.C. police are looking for a prisoner who escaped from a transport vehicle Monday morning.
Police say 34-year-old James Bell managed to kick open the door of the vehicle in the 1300 block of Maryland Avenue, Northeast around 10:30 a.m. Bell was being moved from the Fifth Police District to police headquarters.
Bell also goes by the first name Marcell. He was arrested on Saturday on charges of setting fire to a vehicle on L Street, Northeast.
Police say Bell is a black man, about six-foot-one and 150 pounds. He has braided hair, a tombstone "RIP" tattoo on his upper right arm and a heart with the name "Tanya" in it on his upper left arm.
Bell was last seen wearing a black prison jumpsuit and may still have the plastic handcuffs he was wearing when he escaped.
I have a hard time believing the plastic 'cuffs are still on....

Robert Stuart, C.J.
1. I doubt very much whether this appeal lies. The original trial took place before Mr. Liston, the Deputy Commissioner of Jhansi, and, as directed by Section 36 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the sentence was confirmed by Mr. Webster, the Commissioner, who, by Resolution of the Government, North-Western Provinces, of 1862, has the powers of a Sessions Judge, and to whom Mr. Liston is subordinate. But neither Section 36 nor any other provision of the chapter, ch. iv, of which it forms part contains anything respecting an appeal from such a conviction and sentence to this Court.
2. By Section 270 * of the Code it is provided that any person convicted on a trial held by an officer invested with the powers described in Section 36 may appeal to the High Court, but that no appeal in such case shall lie to the Court of Session. This would apply to the present case if the procedure had stopped with the trial before Mr. Liston, the Deputy Commissioner; but the peculiarity is that here the sentence was confirmed by the Commissioner, as it had to be by law, and it would seem anomalous to allow an appeal to the High Court from a conviction and sentence by an inferior Court like that of a Deputy Commissioner over the head of, and in fact ignoring what had been done by, the superior officer, the Commissioner. The last provision of Section 270 [q.v. Supra, II All. 53.] allows a sentence of an Assistant Sessions Judge to be appealed to the High Court, a provision which has obviously no application to such a case as this.
3. The only other section respecting appeals to the High Court on convictions on a criminal trial is Section 271 [q.v. Supra, II All. 39.], which provides that any person convicted on a trial held by a Sessions Judge may appeal to the High Court. But neither does this section apply to a case like the present, for here the trial was not by the Sessions Judge, but an inferior officer, and the Commissioner, who no doubt had the powers of a Sessions Judge, simply confirmed the sentence.
4. Under these circumstances I would have felt disposed to refer the case to a Full Bench with the question whether the appeal to this Court lies. But it would appear that the practice of this Court has been to entertain these appeals whether the sentence was confirmed by the Sessions Judge or not, and a list of cases, going over a period of three years, has been supplied me by the Office in which the appeals were entertained and apparently without objection. No such cases have come before my self, and the question does not appear to have been raised before any other Judge, the validity of the appeal having apparently been assumed. For myself I confess that I doubt the legality of the procedure. It may have been intended to allow an appeal to this Court in such a case as the present, but that intention does not in my opinion appear from the sections of the Code of Procedure to which I have referred. In deference, however, to the practice of the Court, or such practice as the Court has, tacitly at least, sanctioned, I refrain from making any order calling it in question, especially as such practice is on the side of the right of appeal in a criminal case, which I consider ought always, if possible, to be favoured.
5. In the present case the appeal is dismissed and the conviction and sentence affirmed.
*Appeals by persons convicted by officers invested under Section 36.
[Section 270:--Any person, convicted on a trial held by any officer invested with the power described in section thirty-six, may appeal to the High Court, if it appear from the sentence awarded that such officer was in such trial exercising such special powers.
No appeal in such case shall lie to the Court of Session.
Appeals from convictions of Assistant Sessions Judges.
Any person convicted by an Assistant Sessions Judge may appeal to the Sessions Judge if the sentence appealed against does not exceed three years' imprisonment. A sentence of an Assistant Sessions Judge confirmed, under section eighteen, by the Sessions Judge may be appealed to the High Court]

Jewel has insisted that her husband Ty Murray knows that he is "not the best dancer" left on Dancing With The Stars.
The rodeo champion stunned viewers when he managed to book a place in this week's semi-finals, despite scoring a significantly lower mark than rapper Lil' Kim, who became the ninth contestant to be sent home.
Speaking to People, Jewel said: "He knows he's not the best dancer. It's like comparing apples and oranges for him with the other dancers.
"He's just a cowboy. So you're watching a guy go from zero and seeing how far he can get...And I guess you've got to just pick your horse and what you like as a fan."
She went on to say that Murray was planning "to do as good as he can", adding: "He's actually a lot calmer than I am going through this process. There are no emotional ups and downs, whereas I think I would be more of a basket case."
Recently, judge Carrie-Ann Inaba claimed that Murray "embodies what the show is all about", suggesting that his improvement over the weeks was why he was still on the show.

Designing a new cropping system for high productivity and sustainable water usage under climate change
The food supply is being increasingly challenged by climate change and water scarcity. However, incremental changes in traditional cropping systems have achieved only limited success in meeting these multiple challenges. In this study, we applied a systematic approach, using model simulation and data from two groups of field studies conducted in the North China Plain, to develop a new cropping system that improves yield and uses water in a sustainable manner. Due to significant warming, we identified a double-maize (M-M; Zea mays L.) cropping system that replaced the traditional winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) –summer maize system.

Today is Dussehra 2008- the celebration of Ram's victory over Ravan- symbolic of good defeating evil. So happy Dussehra everyone- I hope your year is prosperous and happy.
Today also happens to be a landmark birthday for me- I am thirty today. Strangely, I don't feel much older than when I turned 6- or any birthdays in between. Certainly I can express myself much better, but I am not certain if I feel the level of seriousness I always expected I would when I reached such a benevolent age :)
So what has really changed? Through my teens I struggled through self-doubt and lack of confidence, and searched for an identity. From a mixed-religious background, this was especially important for me, and was a journey worth taking. In my 20s, I grew stronger, and gained some sense of who I was, inner strength and discovered my desires. In my 30s, I hope to gain self-actualization and set more concrete goals for myself.
I like being 30- the insecurities of my 20s have disappeared, and I find myself an unapologetically strong person welcoming life. I feel fulfilled, energized and in happy anticipation of the future. I love my friends and my loved ones. I want more big bites of life and see where I will be in the next 10 years- when I hit 40 (yay!). And that in itself is a heck of a birthday gift, thank the Lord.

I've been told that I don't need to learn HTML
Don't believe everything you're told. People who say HTML knowledge is unnecessary usually either have another agenda (e.g. wanting to sell you software) or don't understand the reality of web design. Ask the opinions of experienced web designers — although some will say you can get by without it, the vast majority will recommend that you learn it.
I don't have time to learn HTML
It usually takes between 20 and 40 minutes to understand the basics. Within a couple of hours you can be making simple but complete websites. If you're willing to spend a little time learning each week for a few months you can gain a very good understanding of how websites work. This investment of time will pay off many times over. Think of it like this — every hour you spend learning this week will save you an hour per month forever. Although the payback starts slowly you end up taking a fraction of the time to get your work done.
This is a common source of confusion but it is actually irrelevant. In most cases you don't need to write HTML code, you just need to understand it.
I have a great WYSIWYG editor so I don't need HTML
There's nothing wrong with good WYSIWYG software — it enables you to work more efficiently. As mentioned, the point is not that you should be manually typing HTML code, but that you should understand how HTML works.
An analogy: A nail gun will help you build a house much faster than a hammer, but if you don't know how to construct the framing and where to position the nails, your house is likely to fall down.
Learn how to construct HTML manually, then use WYSIWYG tools to work faster.
Side note: There will always be times when you need to tweak HTML manually. WYSIWYG editors will never be perfect.
I'm not good at learning computer languages
You don't have to be. HTML is not a programming language — it's much simpler than that*. On a scale of difficulty it's more like the "secret codes" that children play with. The thing that makes it harder is that there's so much of it to learn, but remember — you don't have to learn it all! Just learn as much as you feel comfortable with, at your own pace.
Do not confuse time-consuming with difficult. HTML is time-consuming to learn, but it is not difficult. Also, you don't need to learn the whole language — even spending a few hours learning the basic structure will help immensely.
No. It is true that other languages are evolving and will probably replace HTML eventually, but HTML will continue to form the basis of virtually all websites for a very long time. In any case, HTML will give you a solid grounding before taking on new languages such as XML.
HTML is too limiting for my purposes
If your purpose is to create a web page, then sorry, but HTML is the standard. Love it or hate it, it's what the web is made of. If you really want to deliver in another format (e.g. PDF), that's fine. Just be aware that it's not a web page you're making so don't expect it to work like one.

Free Paris! Free Paris
Somehow I'm opposed to everything Nancy Grace has to say. It's like her shrill holier-than-thou voice broadcasts some weird signal which scrambles my logic centres and just generally puts me in polar opposition from anything she rallies against.
She could have a show devoted to saving the whales and that night I'd be chowing down on flipper.
Yeah, it's that bad.
So when she began her crusade against Paris Hilton, I couldn't help but take the opposite view.
That is - is this really justice?
I mean...let's set aside our natural prejudice for famous people who have no right to be famous and let's look at this from a human point of view. In the beginning, I wanted her to hang. I wanted her to not only serve the full 43 days, but I wanted full updates on how much she is suffering...and I don't think I'm alone.
But is this natural? Is the desire to see people suffer justified....ever? Granted, driving drunk is about the stupidest thing anyone can do and she deserves her kummupins of some sort, but punishing her doubly for the ineptitude of one sheriff seems a little out of place.
I mean, she was let out of jail, what was she supposed to do? What would anyone do?
"Sorry, I believe I am being wrongfully released, please keep me here?"
No. That's ludicrous. She got a break - yeah, but how the hell is it her fault that she was released early? This was a foul up on the prison end, not hers, but we're a bloodthirsty bunch and we just have to beat her back into submission at the slightest sign that our mob justice wasn't satisfied.
Look - I'm no Paris fan. In fact, I was waiting for something like this to knock her down a peg. That said, it's already been noted that 2 to 3 days is a normal sentance for her offense and I'm afraid this swift punishment to her early release is more of a political move than a fair one.
We love when celebrities screw up, and we always cry bloody murder when they get away with it. All I'm saying is that we should be careful not to shift our vision of justice the entire opposite way just because we love seeing talentless pointless celebrities burn. We're better than that...right?
I say let her serve 20 days, let her have her breakdown and when she gets released, instead of following her every move waiting for her to screw up again, let's just ignore her. Maybe that's true celebrity justice.
As for Nancy Grace, well, I'll just have to learn to not care.

Happy fifth birthday, Holden! Let me tell you a little about yourself at age five...
You are a ball of energy, almost always with a huge smile on your face. Sometimes you and Turner will literally run circles around the kitchen island for considerably long stretches of time. When you feel an emotion, you feel it all the way. Whether it's the joy of laughing at a joke you made up or crying because you don't want Daddy and me to leave for Elevate, you are completely present in the moment.
You've recently developed a love for Peter Pan and Hook, which totally delights your Mommy! You love pizza and tofu, coloring (and have become really good at staying in the lines recently), swimming, church, your family, and Jesus. I will often overhear you from the other room saying to your brother, "I love you, Turner." You have such a sweet heart that truly cares about how other people feel.
And you genuinely loves Jesus. Your prayer each night goes something like this:
"Dear Jesus, thank you for this day. Help us fall asleep quickly. I love you, Jesus. Amen."
Then we ask you what else you want to pray for, and you start over, adding a "thank you for Mommy, Daddy, Turner, Phoebe, etc." right after the "help us fall asleep quickly" line. You have also started initiating having a quiet time in the mornings. You bring your Bible to sit next to me. We pray together to ask Jesus to forgive us of our sins, take turns telling God the things we love about Him, read/talk about a Bible story, and pray again. I love that precious time together.
You never did love going to preschool all that much, but you learned so much! You can pretty much sound out any word and spell it phonetically. You were the very first in your class to learn your phone number and address (which I kinda credit to my cool song and rap). You're great at crafts and artwork--you really do have your PopPop's skill!
When you look back at being five, my hope is that you remember not the consistent, daily discipline, but digging in the backyard dirt, swinging high on a swing, cuddling with Mom or Dad during naps, becoming best friends with your brother, building forts with Dad in the dining room, taking weekend trips to San Antonio or Elevate retreats, and making a new home and new friends here in Texas.
I love you so much, with my whole heart, sweet boy.

Vermont Afterschool is partnering with the PEAR Institute: Partnerships in Education & Resilience (PEAR), an organization that creates and fosters evidence-based innovations such as the Common Instrument which is used to assess child and adolescent interest and engagement in science. We worked with the PEAR team to develop versions for the Common Instrument to be used by Vermont students in grades K-9 that attend STEM-related afterschool and summer learning programming.
Last spring, 13 programs throughout the state that provided tinkering programs had their students complete the Common Instrument. A total of 199 students in grades K-9 completed the instrument, which measured their self-report gains in science interest, critical thinking and perseverance over the course of attending their programs.
The team at PEAR analyzed the results and provided Vermont Afterschool with useful charts and graphs. PEAR found that overall, Vermont students reported significant gains in each of the three sub-scales (science interest, critical thinking, and perseverance).
Compared with the rest of the nation, PEAR found that Vermont students reported significantly higher ratings of science interest. In particular, Vermont students in grades 6-9 reported significantly higher gains in science interest compared with the national sample.
To view our interactive data dashboard with more results from the spring 2016 tinkering programs, visit: http://www.vermontafterschool.org/stem/data. The dashboard will be updated as we receive data from more programs that have their students complete the tool.
–> If you are interested in learning more about the Common Instrument, be sure to join a FREE webinar that we will be co-hosting with the PEAR team on Wednesday, January 11 at 11:30 a.m. To join, click on http://mclean.adobeconnect.com/ci when the webinar begins and enter the participant code 71089974.

I made the most delicious chocolate cake last night. It was unfrosted and brownie-like, but not as dense. I would show you a picture but we ate all of it. I got the recipe from Curious Bird. We ate it with blueberries and a buttermilk whipped cream that is made by whipping three parts whipping cream and one part buttermilk, with a little sugar to taste and to help stiffen the cream. I couldn't get the buttermilk whipped cream as stiff as I like my whipped cream to be, but it was so delicious it didn't matter. It tastes a little like creme fraiche, but lighter.
You should make this cake for yourself. It is delicious.
P.S., As Leya indicates in her post, this cake makes more than just one 9" layer. I filled two 9" cake pans and froze one for later.
P.P.S., I only used 1 1/2 cups sugar and it was just right for me.

Did you freeze the batter or a baked cake?ReplyDelete
I froze the baked cake, wrapped in plastic wrap and then foil. Also, I cut the cake into fourths, which is enough for 2 servings, so we can defrost a little at a time. But we've already eaten most of the extra cake!ReplyDelete

I went with T and H to Youth Group to help make some Easter cakes. After the main event was over and we were the only guests left, the 4 children congregated round the table next to the kitchen. From the kitchen we mothers could hear the murmur of chat and laughter. They were drawing, writing, checking out the internet and eating cake.
The looks of relaxation and interest on their faces were so precious to see. Then I was invited in to do my 20 questions game where I think of something, a US state in this case, then give clues until they guess it. I enjoy giving clues which are helpful so it is a fun quick game, not embarrassing.
We are now back in our TV-less house, so H and his father have whizzed next door to watch my mother in law's TV. Our aerial will be fixed next week, so we'll be back to the educational delights of Midsomer Murders and Coast, and me disagreeing with the BBC news.

The little house
The little house is one of my all time favorite children's books. I remember reading it as a kid and as soon as my oldest daughter would sit still long enough to listen to a "long" story I got it for her. She loved it too.
Recently we were reading it again, and my son wasn't really paying attention. Then we got to the middle of the book, when the pretty countryside started getting roads. Then he got all excited because now there were pictures of dumptrucks and graders. As the story progressed he started pointing out the trolley cars, subway etc.
It's funny because all the times I had read it previously I was reading it from the house's point of view, and thought of it as a sweet story that a boy probably wouldn't really enjoy. It's not that it's a "girly" but I always read it from a more sentimental point of view. He went the other way with it and keyed in on the progress and construction side. It's even become a book that he likes to look at himself (although focusing on those middle pages). Once the house has been moved out if the city and into the countryside he loses interest again. Then again, that's part of what's great about books. Different people can get different things out of them, but enjoy them just the same.

At 26.11 on Monday afternoon, in our warm and cozy nursery was held a fun
puppet show. Theatre Eco Scene presented the childshow "A Tale of the green
forest." Acorn, Conelady and Owl sang and played for us and told us the
secrets of the green forest and its rules. They showed us how to keep the
forest clean in all seasons. They entertained us with funny and interesting
stories, until we found out how seamlessly through games we have learned
many important things about nature and its children.

There's never going to be an end to the ridiculous hyperbole surrounding new, expensive, fashionable technology. It never matters if the thing they're hyping is actually good. I think this report sums up exactly the kind of situation I see all the time from the masses of ignorant media fiends.
However, there does seem to be a kind of peak that is hard to reach again. I'd like to tell you all about the biggest peak to date: the iPhone. Seems you can't talk about the iPhone in a negative context without someone bringing up the point that no matter what, I have to agree, the iPhone "changed the world". WELL THEN. Let's just take a look at this entrancing device and see if this assertion may be true?
First of all, I don't see any marketing blitzes in Rwanda or Haiti or the North Pole for this shiny hunk of metal and silicon. In fact, when it was first released the device was only accessible by those with a considerable amount of money and a specific geographic location and mobile service provider (AT&T). Over the years they've released the iPhone officially in other territories and it's possible to purchase one unlocked for other carriers. <edit> You can also now buy the iPhone locked for dozens of carriers around the world. But the device is not universal to all carriers and nations. </edit> This kind of access does not change the world. Maybe they meant to say it "changed the PART OF THE world WHERE I LIVE AND MY ACCESS TO MOBILE CONTENT ON ONE CARRIER". That may be true enough, but that's not what they actually say.
Did it change the industry? Perhaps... The idea of a manufacturer/producer of a phone dictating the terms of how the phone operates and even taking a cut of the subscription profits was certainly a hybrid business model. But did it change the industry? Thus far, no other vendor has accomplished such a feat. With the release of the Nexus One from Google we see an unlocked phone provided on multiple carriers whose operating system is solely controlled by Google. This is probably the second time I know of that a carrier's dictatorial domination of a device has been stripped away. But the iPhone was released three years ago. It took 3 years to begin to change the industry? What took so long? You can't say Apple's original hybrid business model "changed the industry" because the industry remained the same - only one schmuck corporation (AT&T) went along with the idea of total vendor lock-in.
If anything, the iPhone has influenced the way the industry builds out its services. I'm willing to bet that the volume of data is starting to surpass that of the volume of voice traffic. Text messages already replace most short conversations, and one day perhaps the voice channels will all be replaced by a single digital link with VoIP connecting users to providers. There's no reason why in the future you couldn't pick a different long-distance carrier than your "mobile ILEC", similar to land-line phone call routing for the past however many decades. It's obvious AT&T can't keep up with the current flow of data, however, and other carriers must see the need to expand their capacity.
Nobody rational or educated would argue that the iPhone ushered in a new era of smart phones. Smart phones had all of the features of the iPhone and more for years. Granted, those phones were usually high-priced unlocked devices more for the early adopters with green falling out of their pockets. The iPhone itself wasn't exactly cheap, starting out at $399 (and $499 for the 16GB version) plus a 2-year contract. OUCH. (To contrast that, the extremely capable Nokia N95 was around $500 at release time in the same year - unlocked with no contract). The phone even lacked basic features like Bluetooth profiles for input devices (or virtually any other useful profile, including that for wireless stereo headsets). It couldn't send picture messages, it couldn't copy-and-paste... Other than the multitouch interface it wasn't revolutionary in terms of technical gadgetry. You could get more done with a brick-style phone on any carrier than you could with the iPhone.
The one thing you could say was a game-changer was the App Store. Apps for phones is nothing new. Ever since Java became the "operating system" for phones in the early 90's people have been making custom apps and selling them for big bucks world-wide. But there was never an easy way to just look for, pay for and install any given app. The App Store made them accessible to any user at all times. This then also brought more developers in, and with the fast processor and moderately-fast bandwidth many apps were brought about to bring new kinds of content to the device. There were a couple other "app store"-style websites around, but nothing that tied directly into a phone. Google's Android followed suit with their own app store years later, and Microsoft is just now starting to get into the game.
In the end, we now have an industry saturated with look-alike devices, many of which provide more features and functionality than the iPhone itself. But they will never surpass the iPhone in terms of sales or user base. And the reason comes directly from Apple's ubiquitous business model of total lock-in. Control the hardware + control the software = control of the users. At this point, any device that tries to come in and "shake up the game" will be nothing but a distraction for the uninformed random user who stumbles into a carrier's brick-and-mortar trying to be told what they should buy. Most Web 2.0-savvy users will be looking for a phone that supports the "apps" of a particular service or web site, and the only two options today seem to be iPhone or Android. Some people still make Blackberry apps, but that's probably going to become niche for apps which cater to business or corporate users and less for the general public. So an iPhone pretender will always be that, and never become as successful - until they have their own App Store that can compete.
If you're quite done drinking my Haterade, i'll admit that the iPhone is nice. At this point it's the cheapest possible smart phone that provides such a feature set, support from developers and an incomparable user base. But world-changing? Ask anyone today who doesn't have an iPhone if their world seems different since 2007. They'll probably tell you about how the economy is fucked and the banks are running our government, and thank god we have a new President (or holy jesus we're all fucked because of the new President). But if you ask them to list the top 10 things that have changed their world since then, the iPhone won't be among them. Because most people don't give a shit. Their mobile phone needs have been met. And other than general curiosity in high tech gadgetry, they won't have the need to buy into something else.

Graphite is such a basic medium, but Rod Luff has a nice way of rendering with it. His style has a nice textural quality and has an effective balance between expressive and controlled mark-making. I love the way he renders the figure and his compositions are intriguing. You can learn more about his process by checking out his blog - something that many of my artists to check out have. On his blog you will see some works in progress as well as personal reflections.
So what are you waiting for? Check it out! (and have a great weekend!)

Similarly, in the twentieth century the debt and tax limitations have had important consequences on the fiscal practices of state and local governments. These restrictions have made it difficult to develop rational financing policies while simultaneously failing in their primary goal, the prevention of significant debt accumulations.
The third aspect of our constitutional system that has had important consequences for the state's social and economic practices is home rule. The home rule provisions largely protect traditional community patterns and make it difficult to achieve annexation or consolidation of functions or establish rational and comprehensive policies to deal with urbanization and metropolitanization. The limits on local debt and taxes are, of course, related to the issue of home rule. The state has yet to confront directly the relationship between the current debt and tax restrictions in the constitution and the contemporary financial needs of local governments.
Contrarily, the New York Constitution is a document which has effectively accommodated new social forces, expanded the electorate, and developed a system of civil liberties which, in a number of areas, is more protective of liberty than is the national Constitution. It is a constitution which has committed the state symbolically, and to some extent instrumentally, to the protection of social and economic as well as political rights.
The New York Constitution is an imperfect document, much in need of reform. On April 20, 1987, the 210th anniversary of the New York Constitution, the country was simultaneously celebrating the 200th birthday of the United States Constitution. The New York Times observed: ". . . the New York Constitution, which is older and longer -- at times unfathomably longer -- doesn't even warrant a public seminar on its 210th birthday, which happens to be today. Yet it too is a document that is worth pondering." 49 New Yorkers have demonstrated a willingness to ponder and revise, and there is no reason to believe they have abandoned that tradition. In 1997 they will be asked, in accordance with the every-twenty-year clause, whether they wish to approve a call for a convention to revise and amend the constitution, or whether they will be content to end the century with the constitution they adopted just prior to its beginning.

Recently I discovered a couple great snacks that I deem worthy of note on this here blog. At any given time, you'll probably find one these in my cupboard, fridge or purse:
Kraft 100 Calorie cheese bites packs are sent from heaven. They are perfect for me, the cheese-lover that never gets cheese in my meals! And they are nice portion control as well. I usually buy one package (5 individual packs included) per 2 week shopping trip, so I try to spread it out & not eat all the packs right away. They come in so handy when I need something a bit more substantive and salty. They come in a variety of flavors, but all I've ever tried are the Cheddar & Monterey Jack. Yum.
Nature Valley's new Granola Thins are fantastic. They have two kinds: Dark Chocolate or Peanut Butter, which means the crispy granola bar is dipped into that particular coating. I'm not always a huge fan of peanut butter, so all I've had are the Dark Chocolate ones. They are AMAZING! They are healthier (i.e. lower in fat / calories) than a full granola bar and are completely satisfying as a sweet snack.

I recently was given the opportunity to review the Bellemain Stainless Steel Pizza Cutter for free in exchange for my 100% honest and unbiased opinion on their product.
Who doesn't love pizza right? Here in my household we really love pizza and we like to make our own but cutting the pizza sometimes was a chore sometimes because either the knives were not sharp enough or the traditional type of rolling pizza cutter would not cut all the way through our pizza.
That was changed recently for me when I was given the opportunity to review a Bellemain Stainless Steel Pizza Cutter. This cutter is absolutely fantastic. It does the job right and the on the first cut too. Not only does it cut pizza though it is also great for chopping up some vegetables. The wooden handle on the stainless steel pizza cutter is very easy to hold onto and the fact that the cutter is 13 3/4 inches long means that it will do so much cutting in so little time.
Product DescriptionTired of pizza wheels that get clogged with cheese and knives that drag the toppings along with them? Switch to the Epica professional style cutter and see how easy cutting up a pizza can be.
Fast, Precise and Efficient Rocker Cutting
Thanks to its slightly curved demi lune shape, the Bellemain cutter slices through the entire width of the pizza at once with just a simple rocking motion. Since you're not pulling it across the pizza, toppings don't get dislodged and the crust doesn't get torn. Measuring 13 3/4"L x 3"H, it handles almost any pizza size or thickness.
Engineered for Heavy Use, Light Effort
Made of heavyweight 18/0 stainless steel, The Epica is a reliable performer in busy professional or home kitchens. But you don't need muscle to wield it; the easy grip handle and balanced weight practically do the work for you. It's dishwasher safe so clean-up is easy, too.
Much More Than a Pizza Cutter
The Bellemain is also ideal for mincing herbs, chopping vegetables or nuts and slicing large fruits. Pivoting on its curved edge, it works like a demi lune chopper, the first choice of chefs who must quickly process large quantities of ingredients. Then it scoops them up from the cutting board and transfers them to the pan.
This is a definite must have for every kitchen and at $7.99 it is such a steal too.

Sing to the tune of "Afternoon delight":
"snot rockets in flight, morning run delight."
It's so fitting. especially on these cold runs!
Today's attempt at 8 miles went much better than last week. We ran in town on the "flat" roads which made a huge difference.
Today though instead of hills, we had to fight the freezing cold temps.
I even texted lesley before i got out of bed to make sure she still wanted to run.....she did!
In preparation for today I went to the local running store and bought a running ninja hood or baklava I also like to call it! (yes I know that's not the real name)
I even wore gloves (I never wear gloves!) for the first twenty minutes then they had to come off. They really needed to cone off within the first ten but I got distracted during our walk break.
About 2 miles in I stopped bc the zipper on the tights was rubbing my ankle. After further inspection it had already rubbed it raw.
I stopped in speedway to use the restroom and noticed it was bleeding. The nice clerk let me have a bandaid. I think she might had been scared of us though bc lesley also had on her ninja hood. The speedway is held up about once a month it seems...
During our walk break around mile 4 I tried another new flavor of gu. Today's flavor was island nectar which I had been told tasted like pina colada. While I don't agree with that I will say it tasted like pineapple and I did like it. Hoping to pick up a few more next time I go to the running store in lexington.
We finished our 8 miles with a better pace than last week. It turned out to be a great run even though it was super chilly.

Group portrait of girls with dolls, Kumasi, Ghana, ca.1910
Creator unknown.
Click on image for enlargment.
I am happy to report that this is my first post from my office at Saudade.
Continuing my series of Portrait with Doll, I had to especially highlight this one amazing photograph that I found here. This picture was taken during a Methodist mission in Ghana, Africa and is from the early twentieth century. After studying it closely I noticed that the dolls are caucasian in nature, as well as the women and children´s clothing. Also, their hair styles were intended to straighten the kinkiness of their natural hair. Even the way they are carrying the dolls is not usual. For me this (and this may sound dramatic), is an incredible historical documentation of a part of our humanity.

I dont know why but sometimes I get in the mood to create Squidoo lenses and in a few days I make four or five of them. Maybe it is the fact that I am thinking about the holidays. Maybe it is the fact that I just like making Squidoo lenses.
My newest lens is about Gifts For Women. It includes gift ideas from pajama jeans to matching footed pajamas.
I have a few more lens ideas on my mind and I will probably make them in the next few days. Sometimes, I can not stop thinking about them until I have them made. Strange.

Consolidated In Dahlonega
Camp is all set up in Cleveland, GA at the LDMA Loud Mine property. But after two days of setting up and settling in, rain was in the forecast. Last time we were here we visited the Crisson Mine, and we stopped by there again today. The stamping plant is always fun to see but maybe not as much in the pouring rain. So because of the rain and because we didn't see it last time in town, we went a couple miles over to tour the underground lode mine at Consolidated Mine. In its heyday it was the largest (22 feet wide) gold laced quartz vein ever discovered- anywhere! With the downpour happening outside, torrents of water ran down the path into the mine and rushed below our feet as we descended. It just served to make the exploration more intense and vital. Tiny bats rested upside down on the dry spots on the otherwise wet ceiling as we worked our way downward.They have had a representation here from the time of its origin I am sure. Ore carts, and drills that stopped working a long time ago lined the pathway and spoke of times passed.
At the end of the path down, an air drill, still hooked up and begging for a test run stood ready and waiting. The guide fired it up. The sound of the several second blast showed full well why miners lost their hearing early on in their ususally short careers. We took a turn holding onto the big gun. Talk about a blast from the past. The experience was a great one. We took the tour with Stonewall Gene and Julie, so the company was great too. At the end of the tour we got our little paydirt bags and headed off to the troughs to pan out our golden riches. We skipped the panning lessons under the circumstances. In fact we wound up standing at the troughs helping others recover their gold from the pans full of sand. Chicken Deja Vue! Consolidated gold is fine gold obtained by crushing white quartz, so the gold needs to be separated from what looks like white sand rather than from the customary black sand that placer gold is usually found with. The basics of panning are the same, but there are some nuances that make it a bit different. It was a neat new experience. Daddy like!

Utilize These Great Hairdressing Tips With Little Fuss
Total Articles: 1
Hairdressing can make or break a good mane of hair.Knowing your hair's length and texture can help you choose a good hairdressing routine. Continue with this article and you will probably acquire great ideas for excellent information on getting the hair that will make your feel wonderful.
These could weigh down hair and then make it seem finer and thinner. The very best conditioners that avoid this problem are mousse conditioners or leave-in conditioners.
The notion that frequent haircuts cause your own hair to cultivate faster is false. Human hair grows about one half-inch per month, no matter how much you work. Hair can grow at a little more quickly through the summer seasons, your stylist's scissors will not make your hair grow any faster.

Finding value in this market is getting much harder than it was several months before the big rally -- including today's bump up after the latest "sugar high" delivered by Helicopter Ben. However, there are still some pockets of value out there for those willing to look. I like the ag sector right now as it has had some worries about the recent massive drought, but still sports very low valuations. One stock I like here is AGCO Corporation (NYSE:AGCO), which is still dirt cheap and has insiders who are starting to snap up shares.
Here are some recent positives for AGCO:
- Insiders have bought almost $3 million worth of new shares over the past couple of months.
- Consensus earnings estimates have moved up nicely for FY 2012 and FY 2013 over the last two months.
- Investors are coming to realize that the massive drought in the country is not going to impact farm equipment sales that much.
According to the business description from Yahoo Finance, "AGCO Corporation manufactures and distributes agricultural equipment and related replacement parts worldwide."
Here are four reasons why AGCO is still undervalued at just over $45 a share:
- The stock is selling near the bottom of its five-year valuation based on P/E, P/B, P/S, and P/CF.
- Analysts consistently underestimate this company's earnings power. AGCO has now beat earnings estimates for 12 straight quarters. The average beat over consensus has been 20% over the past four quarters.
- AGCO sports a five-year projected PEG of under 1 (0.63) and sells for less than 8 times forward earnings, a discount to its five-year average (14.9).
- From a comparison perspective (using P/E and P/S), it is priced under direct competitors Deere (NYSE:DE) and CNH Global (NYSE:CNH).
Disclosure: I am long AGCO, DE. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

The Pinochet caravan sets off again
The guy is a one-man WPA for lawyers.
When the fanatic Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón punk'd the British government with his extradition request for the old soldier some years ago, he occupied the House of Lords (the UK's top court) no fewer that three times [1], and had Home Secretary Jack Straw praying the guy would put in an Oscar-winning performance with the quacks to enable him finally to sling his dago ass out of the country.
He still has not had the grace to kick the bucket. And, so long as he lingers, the anachronists and stirrers will try to get him arraigned.
The latest decision, of the Corte de Apelaciones de Santiago, is to lift his immunity as ex-President in relation to charges concerning his involvement with Operation Condor.
Apparently, the decision came as a surprise - an El Mercurio piece says that the groups bringing the case were merely going through the motions.
The Chilean judiciary have been this way before, leading to a decision from the Supreme Court in 2000 that Pinochet was not fit to stand trial [2].
The latest decision seems to be down to a change in the makeup of the Corte de Apelaciones since 2000, and a TV interview Pinochet gave to a Miami TV station last November - he was just a tad too alert, apparently!
I'll keep half an eye on this: I can't see Pinochet ever facing trial, nor that Ricardo Lagos is really terribly keen on seeing him in the dock. Seeing him wriggle out of it might be amusing. (Next stop, the Supreme Court, I fancy.)
[The case underlines yet again the thundering irony: grandstander Garzón goes after American dictators and their henchmen.
Yet, of prosecutions of the misdeeds of the regime of General Franco, we hear precisely nada. For decades in the 19th and early 20th century, Spanish politics were a musical comedy, just like those of their American cousins in more recent decades; in 1936, the joking stopped, and, it seems, no one - not even the flamboyant Garzón - wants the country to gesture towards jokedom again.
I'm not even sure whether the acts of the Franco regime are legally amnestied. I suspect it wouldn't have been necessary.]
Further particulars on the Spanish question:
There is indeed an amnesty for crimes committed under the Franco regime - two amnesties, in fact. This Nizkor page has links to a lot of useful-looking material.
It put out a paper in April 2004 (in Spanish and English) which proposes, on the basis of various human rights treaties discussed at some length, to tear up the post-Franco settlement and start digging up bodies, literally and metaphorically.
Good luck with that!
Even the new Spanish prime minister, the PSOE's [1] José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (to name but one!), is - my hunch - unlikely to go the way of Argentina's President Néstor Kirchner, and leap to let the sunlight in, like the eminently childish Pip in the famous curtain-ripping scene [2] from Great Expectations.
There may be some meat on the report of a 2003 seminar Democratic Development and Reckoning with the Past: The Case of Spain in Comparative Context. And a 2000 paper Models of Transitional Justice - A Comparative Analysis looks at various countries - Spain, Greece, Guatemala and others: worth a gander, I think.
