SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara men's golf opens a busy spring season with the first of seven scheduled tournaments Monday at the UC Irvine Anteater Invitational. The 10-team field will attack the 7,024-yard, par-72 Big Canyon Country Club course over two days.
"This is a good tournament to get back in competitive mode," head coach Rob Miller said. "The events get tougher leading up to a huge event at Stanford in late March."
Led by junior Matt McCarty, the Broncos finished among the top-six in three of their four fall events to earn a ranking of 81 on the Golfstat.com poll. The Broncos are the highest ranked team among the field with UC Santa Barbara (84) and Cal State Fullerton (87) close behind.
Other schools competing include tournament host UC Irvine, Seattle, Grand Canyon, Washington State, Cal Poly, Central Arkansas and Cal State Northridge.
"This is a small event with only 10 teams participating," Miller added. "The guys have been motivated and are working hard to make sure we don't miss a beat."
McCarty topped the squad with a 70.09 stroke average and three top-10 showings in the fall. He'll be joined on the five-player team by senior Derek Ackerman, freshman Konrad Brauckmeyer, sophomore Zack Kaneshiro and junior Will Del Biaggio. Sophomores Berk Harvey and Jack Avrit will compete as individuals.
Along with McCarty and freshman Nordin van Tilburg, Ackerman was the only player to compete in all four fall events compiling a 73.42 stroke average with four sub-par rounds.
Over the next 11 weeks the Broncos will span the state of California along with stops in Arizona and West Lafayette, Ind. The season concludes at the end of April in the WCC Championship.

Windvale Just-n-Time
Her first foal, Monstevos Just n Pretoria by Ascot Royal Emblem began her saddle career in the North Island, beautifully produced by Colleen Ingram. She won the Rising Star title at the Horse of Year and Champion 14.2hh at the Waikato Royal in 2011.
On returning home she has been leased out to the Brechin Family and ridden by Jessica; she has taken Supreme after Supreme. Canterbury Show 2013 saw her take out champion A ring, Champion Paced and Mannered, Champion Dry Mare and Champion overall Pony Breeders.
Consistently placed over hacks to be Supreme of the Show, this lovely mare is truly a super child's pony with a lovely temperment and with such huge movement.
Her next foal, Eastdale Hot Gossip, is by Canterbury Park Banbury Cross, a grey colt who has been shown with huge success in the North Island. She currently has a glorious chestnut filly at foot.
Monstevos Just n Pretoria, Showcase
Eastdale Merry Moments is a super dark brown mare, shown for Champion yearling, two and three year old at the Canterbury Show under top international judges. She has huge movement, an extremely elegant type of pony with just a hint of Thoroughbred as her dam Monymusk Titania was by Dark Idol, out of Monymusk Freya whose sire was the imported arab Sirrocco. This mare's first foal, E. Copelia by F. Flashdance was Royal Champion Yearling, and has gone on to win many more supremes in hand. She is now under saddle she has already been champion in her first season.
Her next foal E. Felicity by Falconhurst Flashdance has won many supremes in hand and now broken in and leased out under saddle this young mare was champion Novice and champion Group B ring at Hawarden Show.
Her next foal by Canterbury Park Banbury Cross, E. Goodness Me won her class at Canterbury A and P, and was reserve 3yo. She is currently being broken in and will come out under saddle next season. Her colt foal by Kirreway Uptown has been sold to the North Island as a future stallion prospect, and she just weaned a stunning grey filly by Kirreway Uptown.
This exquisite little mare must be one of New Zealand's top producing broodmares. Her progeny by Falconhurst Flashdance are E. Cabaret, E. Diva. E. Escapade, E.Foreign Affair (about to step out under saddle) and to Canterbury Park Banbury Cross the multi supreme winning youngstock E. Henrietta and E. Imogen.

She has the prettiest little grey filly foal by Kirreway Uptown at foot.
She in turn is by Willowbay Symphony who is proving to be a very influential broodmare sire. The plan is to cover this filly with Kirreway Uptown to produce small riding ponies.
Eastdale Merry Go Round
Currently on lease from Vicky Cooper's Arosa Stud, this mare is out of the Syon Royal Portrait/Rotherwood Acrobat mare, Eastdale Royal Romance by Greenlee Merry Minstrel. She gained many champions under saddle so with her beautiful bloodlines it was decided to put her to Kirreway Uptown and she has produced a lovely colt foal, already going grey.
Eastdale Blissful
This mare is by Falconhurst Flashdance out of the lovely now deceased mare Linden Whisper (Cusop Display x Cobweb).
She is a full height mare who is currently out on lease after producing a very attractive grey filly by Kirreway Uptown.
Over the years we have found crossing the riding pony over a very elegant thoroughbred mare has produced some lovely full-height ponies, or even better still park hacks.
Eastdale has also produced some top jumping ponies, such as Eastdale Englishman and Eastdale Triumph.
Proving temperament is a must a week after Eastdale Beatrice was awarded Champion Riding pony she was some 2500 feet above sea level trekking on Winterslow station with eight-year-old Emily Chamberlain safely aboard.

THE company building the National Broadband Network has hit the halfway mark and says planning is under way for future upgrades to the network.
At the end of the June, 5.7 million premises were able to access the network, about 300,000 premises ahead of schedule. And attention has turned to improving the performance of the network which has been plagued with issues.
It's expected about 30 to 40 per cent of the completed rollout will use fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) technology to service end-users, which runs fibre to boxes on street corners and then relies on the existing copper wires to make the final connection to the home.
Detractors of the technology such as Executive Director of Internet Australia, Laurie Patton, have argued the technology will need to be ripped up and replaced in the next decade.
Mr Patton — called a troll by NBN boss Bill Morrow during senate estimates — has been unrelenting in his assertion that not rolling out full fibre will mean expensive upgrades in the future.
However NBN Co. maintains the multi technology approach has allowed for a far speedier rollout while new technologies can be deployed when they become available in order to meet the future needs of Australian internet users.
"We're already starting that to some degree," NBN Co's chief network engineer officer Peter Ryan told news.com.au.
"Next year we'll introduce fibre to the kerb (known as FTTC) as the next evolution of technology, again it has an upgrade path that will meet the needs of Australians into the future," he said.
"That applies to all our technologies, be it HFC (part of the network that uses existing pay TV cables) with the docsis 3.1 test we're doing today, fibre to the node with the test we're doing with the G. Fast technology, fixed wireless where we're looking to upgrade to higher speeds and even in the satellite where we've introduced higher data packages," he said.
Mr Ryan says the project has been able to add access to about 80,000 homes and businesses a week at the current pace of the rollout. "We're only able to achieve that sort of pace because of the multi technology approach."
But plenty of users have reported dropouts and lower than expected speeds after moving onto the NBN — something the project's chief engineer says is "inevitable".
"It's inevitable, I think, a project of this size, scale and complexity, there'll always be some problems. And inevitably there'll be some confusion in the minds of customers," he said. "It's an area we're extremely focused on, working with our retail service providers and putting more educational activity out there."
Such problems can be caused by a number of reasons such as under performing copper, ISPs not buying enough bandwidth on the NBN for their customers, or even a subpar modem in your home. But NBN execs expect overall performance to improve as more people move onto the network.
Thus far the rollout has been focusing on "under serviced" parts of Australia which a lot of the trickier installations still to come.
"We have learned a lot during the first half of the rollout. Everything we've learned we will now bring to bear to help the second half of the rollout," Mr Ryan said.

Not much has been happening in our lives of late and I suppose that is a good thing! We are about our daily duties these last few days and the Lord has been good, as always.
Right now I am looking across the street at my neighbor's yard where "tree murderers" (as I call them) are taking down three very large and old trees. I can hardly bear to watch it. I love trees and unless there's a legimate reason to take them down, I say keep them! So, I am sad. I'm not a tree hugger or anything but I just hate to see them cut down. Trees are so beautiful!!
(For Mrs. Henry Mills Alden)
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
– Joyce Kilmer

Pakistini Jew reflects on Peshawar school horror
Grief-stricken and angry is how Pakistani Jew Fishel Benkhald describes he felt on hearing the news about Tuesday's Taliban attack on a school in Peshawar, writes Suzanne Baum.
The murder of 141 people, the majority schoolchildren, left him "feeling sick to the stomach.
"My nerves were already heightened following the siege in Sydney so when I heard something so horrendous had happened so close to me I couldn't believe it.
Get The Jewish News Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up
The 27-yes old, who was born in Karchi to a Jewish mother and Muslim father, happened to be visiting his hometown when he heard about the news on social media.
"When reports started to be posted on Pakistani news websites of heavy gunfire exchange between Pakistani Army and militants, my heart broke.
"I could imagine the little kids and young students scared and cold trying to make up what has befallen on them on this regular day of learning? When just a few hours ago their parents dressed them, fed them and gave last goodbye kisses with smiles."
The school that was attacked is a very famous one in the province of Peshawar, according to Benkhald, who says as a nation Pakistan "loves their children and see education as a very important part of their lives."
The Pakistani education system, he explains, can be divided into three categories, the formal education system being the largest catering to 75% of Pakistani students.
"In Pakistan, security is only for the rich schools and most of its security is from private sector society guards, who are posing as security giving a false sense of safety.
"The pay of such security guards from the private sector is less than the monthly fast food cost of most of the students they are posing to protect.
"The formal education being the largest is in constant tug of war between the religious extreme-right and the losing liberal-left. There are many reports and studies conducted on Pakistani education and findings are alarming."
As well as personal reasons, Benkhald-who currently lives between Tunisia and Morocco-, has returned to Karachi to continue his efforts in cleaning the local Jewish cemetery. He is doing so as part of his efforts in chasing his mother's Jewish roots.
"Mine is a very unusual story as I believe I am one of few that remain of once was a small but thriving Jewish community in this area."
Having been born to a Jewish mother and Muslim father, Benkhald was registered as a Muslim but has always seen himself as Jewish, something he has until recently had to keep secret.
"Much of my childhood I recall my mother making us kosher food, observing Shabbat. The only religion which was observed at home while growing up was Judaism because of my mum, as my father was secular therefore he didn't practice any religion nor object to anyone for practicing theirs."
Estimated to have numbered about 2,500 people at the start of the 20th century, Pakistani Jewry consisted mainly of migrants from Iraq.
Benkhald's family spent as much time abroad as possible to escape from oppressive Pakistan. His maternal grandparents were Iranian Bene Ephraim Jews who migrated from Yazd city of Iran to Karachi during the British Raj on India.
"My father was a mechanical engineer whose work ensured we spent long stints living in North Africa but after both my parents died by my 13th birthday, my life took a turn for the worse," recalls Benkhald, who refuses to talk about this period of his life.
For now, as Benkhald continues to explore his Jewish roots, he is eager to encourage others to come forward and help him in his mission. However, he is fully aware that his circumstances and that of his homeland, are difficult.
"Pakistani society has developed a short term memory over passage of time and sadly I believe this horrendous act of evil on the school will be forgotten in two to four months as were other bomb blasts and atrocities by Taliban which are already reduced to a reference in our minds with very less emotional attachment.
"Pakistani state and its government itself lack the function of actability of past and the far future. "We have developed a habit of being a 'Reactionary-Nation' there is so much happening so fast that it is beyond our capability to see in the far future and make appropriate actions today.
"There is no doubt that scars of attack on Peshawar's Army Public School will remain blood stained for a long time, but the question is that how much it can move us to make real consistent policy changes and persist on them?."

Season 3, Episode 4: 'Cupid Kills'
After spending an entire afternoon (or at least an entire dress-up montage) choosing an outfit for her date with the handsome city councilman Angelo Dubois, she settles on a tight, short, stunning red dress, then winds up with a face even redder when she shows up at their rendezvous point and discovers it's a black-tie fund-raising gala, complete with a live performance by an operatic soprano as the evening's entertainment — all of which her date neglected to mention. In her mile-high heels and similarly elevated hemline, she sticks out like a sore thumb.
Note to Councilman Dubois: If you're really going to run for mayor of New York City, you need to work on your communication skills.
The would-be couple's disastrous date is not without its highlights, however, for the audience if not for Cookie herself. She expertly deflects the snobbery of two of Angelo's old-money acquaintances by describing doing time in a women's prison. Later, she surprises them in the ladies room as they trash-talk her, telling them that after she gets through with them, the next charity they'll want to raise money for is the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
She's her usual funny, cutting self throughout, but when she's finally clear of her tormentors she lets her guard down, the panicked look on her face revealing just how awful and out of place she really feels. She winds up giving Angelo the old Irish Goodbye, leaving without saying a word. Anyone who's ever showed up at a party and felt there must have been a mistake on the guest list can relate.
Some of Cookie's fish-out-of-water moments were harder to swallow. Her musical talents notwithstanding, Cookie's success derives partly from her ability to read the room, to spot trends before they happen, and to cultivate an air of luxury and glamour that furthers her mystique as Empire's empress. Would she really be so oblivious as to stand up and cheer in the middle of an opera performance at a fancy fund-raiser? I don't care how transported she is by the high notes — the Cookie we know would have to be high, herself, to act that way.
In the end, though, she transforms humiliation into inspiration in true Cookie form. She produces a hit single for Empire's star attraction Tiana, inspired by the story of a woman caught between two men in the La Bohème aria that so moved her.
It's a story both women know well: Cookie's on-again, off-again attempts at romance with Angelo are constantly under attack by her ex-husband, Lucious, while Tiana's at the center of a feud between her current boyfriend and her ex, Hakeem. Another flashback to Cookie and Lucious's teenage years in Philadelphia reveals that this dynamic has played out before. Her clean-cut boyfriend at the time, Barry, was mercilessly beaten down by Lucious and his friends to keep him from competing for her affections any longer.
But is there really any competition now? The most striking thing so far about Season 3 of "Empire" is just how insufferable Lucious has become, not just to Cookie but to everyone else. In this episode he shows up at Tiana's performance solely to bust the chops of his family. First he goes after Cookie for dating Angelo. Seconds later he taunts Jamal for falling for a ruse Lucious concocted involving Freda Gatz. Is there a single character on the show who wouldn't be better off if Lucious were dead? The "anti" in his antiheroic persona has been cranked up too high for story lines involving him to work; you know he'll undermine his family to get what he wants every time, which makes him pretty uninteresting.
If you're bored by the episode's final scene, between Andre and the new Empire signee, Nessa, however … well, maybe you've been partaking in some of Jamal's nerve-numbing painkillers. Andre is smitten by Nessa from the moment he hears her voice and sees her singing. As the episode progresses he works hard to woo her to the label, over the machinations of her meddling and violent manager and uncle, Shyne, whose criminal enterprises she helps maintain as head accountant. (Hey, if you're in the arts, it pays to have something to fall back on.) After Andre and Lucious seal the deal by forcing the gangster to sign at gunpoint, "Godfather" style, Shyne declares war.
This leads to a delirious final sequence, in which the director Hanelle Culpepper uses jarring jump cuts to juxtapose scenes of Jamal popping pills and writing a song, Shyne and his men loading guns and arming for battle, and Nessa and Andre tearing each other's clothes off and going at it on his desk. When Dre gets cold feet, he hallucinates an image of his dead wife, Rhonda, who not only encourages him to go through with it, but joins in.
This mental ménage à trois is a jawdropper, for sure. But as good kink is wont to do, it converts real pain — in this case Andre's grief over Rhonda and his collusion with Lucious to intimidate Shyne — into forbidden pleasure. That's not a bad description for the modus operandi of "Empire" itself.

(Adds stocks, comments and details throughout)
JOHANNESBURG, Jan 21 (Reuters) - South Africa's rand eased on Monday as the dollar neared a two-week high, while Naspers boosted stocks on expectations of positive news about the spin-off of its pay-TV business, which duly emerged after the market close.
At 1555 GMT, the rand traded at 13.8600 versus the dollar, down 0.25 percent from its previous close.
The rand followed several other emerging market currencies lower after the dollar shrugged off concerns about weakening global growth and data that showed China's economy slowed sharply in 2018.
"It's been a consolidation session for emerging markets. There has been little impetus," said Kieran Siney, analyst at ETM Analytics.
"Although it's been a downbeat start to the week for the rand we maintain our view that there is room for appreciation in the medium term."
Government bonds were slightly weaker, with the yield on the benchmark 2026 instrument up 0.5 basis points at 8.910 percent.
The Johannesburg Stock Exchange's top-40 index closed 0.95 percent stronger, at 48,037 points, while the broader all-share index was up 0.76 percent to 54,139 points.
Tile retailer and manufacturer Italtile led the all-share index higher after reporting good sales data in a difficult climate, while paper and pulp manufacturer Sappi topped the top-40 index, up 3.9 percent.
Bourse heavyweight Naspers rose 3.3 percent on what traders said was sentiment around its plans to unbundle its pay-TV business Multichoice.
After the market close, Naspers said its plan to list Multichoice had been conditionally approved by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
Meanwhile, shares in South Africa's largest retailer Shoprite closed 2.17 percent down after the Competition Tribunal fined its ticket selling subsidiary 20 million rand for anticompetitive behaviour - a decision the firm said it would appeal.

Date: 9th December 2015
Event: Policy Forum on Ethnic Minority Development
Venue: Sheraton Hotel, 11 Xuan Dieu Road, Hanoi
Mr. Danh Ut, Vice Chairman of National Assembly, Ethnic Council
Mr. Son Phuoc Hoan, Vice Chairman of CEMA
Excellency Ms. Cait Moran, Ambassador of Ireland
Representatives of the Ministries, Development Partner agencies and the Media
Good morning and a warm welcome to the Ethnic Minority Policy Forum for 2015. This has been the year marked by the adoption of the global Sustainable Development Goals, under which UN Member States have committed to achieving a future which is prosperous and sustainable, but crucially also where no one is left behind. This is an especially important consideration for minority populations suffering from deprivations.
Inception of the SDGs also marks the final year of the MDGs. It has been an incredible journey - both globally and in here in Viet Nam. So much has been achieved here over the past 15 years. I want to take this opportunity to once again whole heartedly congratulate the Government and the Vietnamese people, for the transformational progress they have made in so short a time. This also reflects the strength of wider development progress in Viet Nam in the post-Doi Moi period which was based on pro-poor growth and equitable public service provision.
While all of Vietnam's citizens have seen progress, we have to also recognize that some areas and population groups, specifically ethnic minorities and people living in mountainous areas, have lagged behind. Strikingly, income poverty levels for the ethnic minorities are more than three and half times the national average. Moreover, disparities between ethnic minorities and the majority population are very high for many of the other MDGs also, and the challenges are often interlocking and self-reinforcing. To reference just a few - literacy rates, weight-for-age malnutrition rates for under-5s and households access to sanitary toilets all show major differences. This comparative lack of progress among EM groups indicates that there remains much to do to eliminate poverty and other key deprivations. This must form part of Viet Nam's efforts to complete its MDG agenda. Without new and innovative actions, a vicious cycle of poverty may set in. Addressing the challenge of interlocking and intergenerational deprivation should be the first priority for SDG implementation.
Actions speak louder than words. It is inspiring to see how quickly the Government of Vietnam has moved to take action to address the unfinished MDG agenda and to localize the SDGs. The recent approval of Decision 1557 – the MDG Action Plan for Ethnic Minorities and its implementation and the Government's incorporation of multi-dimensional poverty is especially noteworthy. It is important, as mentioned by the leaders of Ethnic Council and CEMA, that the localized SGDs and the concrete targets given within the approved MAP-EM and MDP Master Plan are integrated into the SEDP and sectoral and local Socio-Economic Development Plans. It is vital that a clear framework for monitoring and holding the key actors to account for achieving the targets is developed and implemented.
I hope the policy discussions today will allow all stakeholders to share views, including a framework to cooperate in the MAP-EM implementation process. I would like to contribute here some recommendations.
Firstly, people are at the centre of the SDGs. This is especially important in the context of the ethnic minorities. Their diverse culture is a great asset to Viet Nam and action should be built on this to empower people to be agents of change, to voice their concerns and to actively participate in the development process. This would require creating opportunities for them to self-organize and to articulate in their language.
Second, the comprehensive aim of SDGs is not only to end poverty in all its forms but also to reduce inequalities, between and within groups. This specifically includes tackling gender inequality and unlocking the potential that women can make to delivering transformative change. Promoting more inclusive growth by enhancing the opportunities for EM people as active participants should be addressed in the up-coming SEDP and the ethnic minority policy framework. While expanding employment opportunities via formulation of regional plans that build on local comparative advantages, it is important to enhance ethnic minority people's capacity so they can take advantage of created opportunities. This will include expanding vocational training, farming extension services and other production and marketing support. This must also include enabling environment for EM peoples to organize and establish their own groups and small businesses. International experience shows that such support is most effective if based on principles of self-reliance community spirit, community empowerment and community ownership.
Third, I call for the new SEDP process to re-think the institutional set-up and reorientation of policy planning versus service delivery functions to ensure equal access to affordable quality social services and social protection for all. Expansion of socialization of public services by transitioning state schools, clinics and hospitals to "public service providing enterprises" raises major equity issues. Drawing on international experience, this may lead to commercialization and privatization of public service provision, posing risks in terms of both low efficiency and a series of inequities. Increased out-of-pocket payments and management devolution, in context of regulation and declining budgets will inevitably impact on the poor and those with low incomes. Equally, Ethnic minority communities themselves must be empowered by the institutional arrangements that are in place for managing local development. Serious consideration should be given to the devolution of authority and resources via a system of block grants to minority communities themselves, who are best placed to identify and meet their own local priorities, appropriate to their culture and traditions.
Fourth, we must recognize that Vietnam is one of the countries that is most affected by climate change. Climate change will increase the risk of loss and damage as climate extremes become more intense and variable, challenging the limits of our human ability to adapt. Ethnic minority communities are located in some of the most challenged areas. They also have limited capacities to respond to climate change due to general underdevelopment and their difficult social and living conditions. It is very inspiring to see that in Vietnam, there were separate consultation with EMs on climate change in preparation for COP 21 in Paris. These considerations should also be incorporate in the SEDP. At the same time, innovative solutions such as ICT based early warning communication applications for crops or evacuation using mobile and smart technologies, need to be examined. With effective integration into the national targeted programs, innovations and new ways of working can help reduce losses and speed up recovery when disasters strike.
Finally, a monitoring and accountability framework with clear targets and indicators is vital if we are to ensure effective SEDP implementation. At the same time, it better informs Vietnam's follow up of recommendations from international human rights instruments like the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) and Convention on Eradication of discrimination of all forms (CERD) process. Moving toward result-based management and strengthening oversight by both GOVN agencies - leading by CEMA, National Assembly and local people's elected bodies, civil societies and people themselves are also recommended to better reflect the ethnic minority rights in development.
To close, I reaffirm that the UN and DPs in the EMPWG stand, as strong partners with Government, ready to support your efforts in localizing SDGs and furthering the achievements of the unfinished agenda for ethnic minorities. I am confident that Government of Vietnam with its commitments and rich experiences in delivering effective poverty reduction and MDG implementation, will successfully implement the SDGs and "no one will be "left behind".

We always secretly cross our fingers that our couples will understand the importance of our signature R2 Phoenix vogue sessions! So, when Lindsey & Shelley booked our package that included it, we were so excited. As a same sex couple ourselves, we LOVE photographing others who are like us. Couples who get us, our stories, our struggles and our love. Lindsey & Shelley are those people. We love them to a million pieces and back and could photograph them all day long. If you missed their same sex wedding we did check it out here. And also they have one of our most "pinned" engagement session on Pinterest as well. So make sure to check that out too. Oh and we can't forget their super emotional wedding video we did as their videographers as well.
Anyways, when they told us their idea of going back out to their ceremony site and the ghost-town across the street we were totally down. They came over to our studio for hair and make-up, got dressed back up and off we went. We hope you love what we got for their phoenix vogue session.

TUNICA — A German company broke ground on a $300-million pipe manufacturing plant today in Tunica County, kicking off a development that officials believe will have far-reaching economic benefits.
"It's not only huge for Tunica County, but it's huge for the entire state of Mississippi, especially the Mississippi Delta," said Larry Liddell, public information officer for the county.
The plant, slated to begin production in December, is Wilh. Schulz GMBH's first manufacturing facility in North America. Construction on what will eventually become a 450,000-square-foot installation is set to begin May 1.
The company's initial $80 million investment is expected to create 200 jobs. Schulz plans to increase that to $300 million over the next five years, boosting the number of new jobs to 500.
Tunica officials expect some of those hired to come from within the county but with so many jobs, more will be hired from outside the area.
Tunica had a 19.7 percent unemployment rate in January, the most recent figures available. That was far above the 12 percent rate for Mississippi and the 10.6 percent for the United States. Unemployment rates in adjacent Delta counties were also much higher than state and national percentages.
Officials hope the plant will attract more retailers and other industries.
"It's the beginning of an era, an industrial era, for Tunica County," Liddell told The Associated Press. "We've had the gaming industry here for 15 years and we've courted other industry, but for some reason or another they've decided to go elsewhere. Schulz has taken a chance on Tunica and we appreciate their confidence and know that they made a wise choice."
Tunica was chosen from about 300 U.S. counties that had sought the project.
Earlier this year the Legislature approved an incentive package, providing $15 million in bonds to help with the construction, and guaranteeing a $20 million loan to help the company buy $60 million in heavy equipment.
Officials for Schulz, based in Krefeld, Germany, said the Mississippi division will be called Schulz Xtruded Products, or SXP.
"We have enjoyed working with officials from the state of Mississippi and Tunica County and other local leaders on this project, and we eagerly await the opening of this plant at the end of the year," Rainer Floeth, president and chief executive officer of SXP, said in a prepared statement.
The plant already has orders for pipes that will be manufactured at the new facility, Floeth said. The plant will use a new process to bond an expansive, corrosion-resistant material to the pipes' outer layer. The pipes will be manufactured for the oil and gas industries.
"We could not be more pleased that this premier global company chose to locate its first North American production facility in the Mississippi Delta, and I am proud that Schulz officials have placed their confidence in the state's work force and in our business climate," Gov. Haley Barbour said in a prepared statement.
… we'd like to ask for your support. More people are reading the Mississippi Business Journal than ever before, but advertising revenues for all conventional media are falling fast. Unlike many, we do not use a pay wall, because we want to continue providing Mississippi's most comprehensive business news each and every day. But that takes time, money and hard work. We do it because it is important to us … and equally important to you, if you value the flow of trustworthy news and information which have always kept America strong and free for more than 200 years.
If those who read our content will help fund it, we can continue to bring you the very best in news and information. Please consider joining us as a valued member, or if you prefer, make a one-time contribution.Click for more info

Matching problems between Sec Assist 2.02 and CSS Forms 2
Attempted to run Security Assist 2.02, got the same problem as what original thread was posted for. I see Security Assist 2.01 had a fixed that looked like it was similar; any chance this is related?
I do not know if seen or not, but Jason recommended removal of CSS Forms and replacing with newer version. Tried this, no change in problem; both extensions are currently inoperative, please advise.

The Rossfeldhöhenringstrasse
The idea to build the scenic German Alpine Road (Deutsche Alpenstrasse) was born in 1927. Running alongside the mountain range, it was supposed to connect the mountains between Lake Constance and Lake Königssee to promote tourism. The national socialists seized on the idea in 1933 and started building the first stretch in the town of Inzell.
The Rossfeldhöhenringstrasse was planned as the eastern end of the German Alpine Road, running from the locality of Unterau through Oberau, the Rossfeld, the Obersalzberg mountain and Hinterbrand and bringing the German Alpine Road to a magnificent conclusion at Lake Königssee. Although construction started in 1938, the final stretch was only completed between 1953 and 1955. However, since the section between Hinterbrand and Lake Königssee was never actually built, the German Alpine Road now ends at the Hinterbrand car park. In the 1950s, the road was classified as a privately owned national road and a toll collection was introduced to justify and cover the costs incurred.
The Rossfeldhöhenringstrasse, today known as Rossfeld-Panoramastrasse, is approximately 16 kilometres long and has a maximum gradient of 13 %. Rising up to 1,560 metres above sea level, it is Germany's highest continuous, permanently accessible road.
For more information, please refer to the official website of the Rossfeld-Panoramastrasse.
The Salzberg race
The first motorcycle and car hill climbs took place on the steep and sandy track leading from Berchtesgaden to Obersalzberg as early as between 1925 and 1928. The Salzberg race attracted renowned racing drivers like Hans Stuck and Rudolf Caracciola, whose 1928 duel, for example, will live in our memories forever.
The Rossfeld race
From 1958, the race on the Rossfeldstrasse near Berchtesgaden turned into an international competition for touring and grand touring cars as well as for sports and junior formula cars. In 1961, the race was included in the European Hill Climb Championship. Well-known racing drivers like Sepp Greger, Edgar Barth, Gerhard Mitter, Hans Herrmann, Rolf Stommelen and Johannes Ortner have won the International Alpine Mountain Award Rossfeld.
On 8 June 1968, Ludovico Scarfiotti, two-time European Hill Climb Champion, lost his life behind the wheel of his Porsche 910 Bergspyder in a training run at the Rossfeld.
The race was organised jointly by the Automotive Club of Germany (AvD) and the Berchtesgaden Automobilclub (BAC).
Ambitious private drivers, local motor sport aficionados included, started in various classes side by side with renowned factory-backed drivers sponsored by the major automobile manufacturers. From Porsche to Goggo, almost everything with four wheels was raced up the mountain road.
The locally produced Hartmann Spyder and junior formula cars, powerful and reliable vehicles that definitely found their fans, were a special feature of the event.
The energy crisis of 1973 put an end to the hill climbs and with them to one of the greatest spectator magnets in Berchtesgaden.
25 years later, Günter and Heidi Hansmann revived the spirit of the Rossfeld races. From 1998 to 2010, they organised the Rossfeld Historic, an event that also brought back the hill climbs to the Rossfeld – this time as regularity races, of course.

Match Information
Saint Louis FC (3-4-5, 14 points) vs. New York Red Bulls II (5-5-4, 19 points)
World Wide Technology Soccer Park, Saint Louis, MO
Saturday, June 27, 2015
8:30 p.m. EDT
WATCH: Live stream available on NewYorkRedBulls.com/Live
#STLvNY – Follow on Twitter: @NYRBII
New York Red Bulls II hits the road again for their fifth successive away match to take on Saint Louis FC. NYRB II is seeking to extend their winning streak to three games after wins against Wilmington Hammerheads FC and Louisville City FC. This is the first of two matchups with Saint Louis FC, with the second match to be played at Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium in New York City on August 2.
WATCH: Highlights from NYRB II's 2-0 win over Louisville City FC
Red Bulls II have won back-to-back games for the first time its 14-game history, and seem confident with multiple players in top form. Both Chris Tsonis and Derrick Etienne have recorded points in consecutive matches, while Konrad Plewa scored his first professional goal last weekend against Louisville City. The goal started with a Louisville turnover, forced by the high pressing Red Bulls II who caused problems for defenders all night. Collecting the turnover in a dangerous area, Plewa found himself in space just outside the penalty area and finished the chance, a driven shot into the lower left corner.
Dan Metzger was named USL Player of the Week following a strong performance in the midfield, effectively defending and transitioning into attack. Metzger was also named to the USL Team of the Week along with Santiago Castano and Karl Ouimette, who preserved New York's second consecutive shutout. Castano, who was named to the bench on the USL Team of the Week list, made four saves in the road win.
READ: USL Weekly Update | Road Warriors: Red Bulls II unbeaten in three consecutive away matches
This week's opponent, Saint Louis FC, is in the middle of a six-game winless streak. Saint Louis' last USL victory was back on May 9, a 1-0 victory against Wilmington Hammerheads FC. Despite current struggles, Saint Louis still boasts one of the strongest defenses in the Eastern Conference, allowing only 14 goals in 12 matches.
Goalkeepers Mark Pais and Alec Kann have split the starting job evenly, both with six USL starts each. They also share the same goals against average, an impressive 1.17. Saint Louis has struggled scoring goals this season, but most of the attack has come from Bryan Gaul and Jermie Lynch. Both players have scored three goals each and will demand the best from a New York defense that hasn't allowed a goal since June 6.
SUSPENDED NEXT YELLOW CARD: NY: Andrew Jean-Baptiste
Red Bulls II are unbeaten in their last three matches (2-0-1). Currently locked in a six-game road trip, New York is 2-1-1 through four matches. Two road matches remain against St. Louis FC (Saturday, June 27) and Pittsburgh Riverhounds (Sun., July 4). NYRB II return home to Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium on July 12 versus Harrisburg City Islanders.
Derrick Etienne is in the midst of a four-match point streak. Etienne, the U-18 captain, recorded a goal last weekend versus Louisville City. Etienne has three goals and two assists in the last three games, and he's tallied at least one point in every match he's played in since May 24 against Montreal FC. The Haitian international has three goals and three assists on the season.
Karl Ouimette was named to the USL Team of the Week for Week 14, and also received a call up to the Canadian Men's National Team for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Ouimette, who has started and played four matches for Red Bulls II this season, begins his Gold Cup journey on July 8 against El Salvador.
Red Bulls II midfielder Konrad Plewa scored his first professional goal, and the game-winner, on June 20 against Louisville City FC. The high pressing NYRB II attack forced a turnover which Plewa picked up in space. He lowered his head and buried the chance from just outside of the penalty box into the lower left corner.
Chris Tsonis earned his second assist of the season against Louisville City FC on June 20. second This was Tsonis' second consecutive match with a point. Tyler Adams swung in a cross which Tsonis stopped for Derrick Etienne to slot home in the 50th minute. In the prior match on June 13 against Wilmington Hammerheads, Tsonis scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory.
Red Bulls II leading goal scorer Anatole Abang has now scored two MLS goals in three matches. The 18-year-old, who's scored four goals for Red Bulls II in five matches, started and played the full 90 minutes against Real Salt Lake on June 24, shooting five times with three shots on goal. He also served as a half time substitute on June 20 against Vancouver Whitecaps. Abang kept Red Bulls hopes alive in the 82nd minute when he scored his second goal of the MLS season. In the match prior on June 5 versus Houston Dynamo, Abang served as a 74th minute substitute and scored in the 90th minute, thanks to an assist from another Red Bulls II capped player, Marius Obekop. Abang has appeared in nine MLS matches for the Red Bulls, playing a total of 89 minutes.
Santiago Castano earned his second shutout of the season on June 20 against Louisville City FC. Castano, a homegrown player, recorded four saves in the road victory. His first shutout of the season was in the first match of the season on March 28, against Rochester Rhinos when he made four saves.
Marius Obekop, who has played seven matches for Red Bulls II, tallied an assist in his first MLS appearance of the season on June 5 versus Houston Dynamo. Obekop was an 86th minute substitute and played four minutes. He assisted Anatole Abang's 90th minute goal.
Manolo Sanchez made his first MLS appearance for the Red Bulls on June 20 versus Vancouver Whitecaps as a 77th minute substitution. He played 13 minutes and connected with Chris Duvall in the 82nd minute who assisted Abang's goal. He also played three minutes as a substitute versus Real Salt Lake, and recorded three shots and one shot on goal.

As far as "diet" books go, Mireille Guiliano's "French Women Don't Get Fat" is old news. Published in the US in 2005, it became a runaway bestseller not so much for its engaging writing style or common sense approach to eating but because of our continued fascination with the French Paradox. Why is it, we wonder, that the French can eat all that cream, cheese, pork and goose fat and remain so svelte?
According to Guiliano's research, only 11% of the French population is obese, compared to 30 % of the American population. It is, of course, a generalization to say that French women don't get fat. Obviously some of them do, but Mireille's point is that on the whole, they are comparatively slimmer to women from many other industrialized countries. In her second book, French Women for All Seasons, she reports that many readers sent her "gotcha" type letters about seeing a fat woman on a visit to France. Obesity is on the rise around the world due to the globalization of fast food and junk food, even in France; however, what the author tries to emphasize is that the better quality food you eat in moderation, the slimmer and healthier you will be. She explains it's not just the food that is important but the whole culture around it. Ultimately how you eat is just as important as what you eat, if not more. Habits such as eating on the run, in your car, or at your desk at work are not a part of the typical French lifestyle. A meal is meant to be a leisurely affair, eaten sitting down–preferably with family and friends. It's this traditional way of eating that Mireille feels is threatened in France, and she rightly encourages us all to get back to the way people used to eat.
The first French person I ever met was Sophie*, a young woman from Paris. Living in Canada, I had met many people from Quebec, but I had never met anyone from France until a few years ago. I was teaching English classes at a government agency established to help Francophone speakers settle in British Columbia. The classes were open to residents as well as visitors from any country that spoke French as a first or second language. Sophie had bright blue eyes, an infectious smile, and a face like an angel. She was also–by anyone's definition–severely overweight. Sophie was always the first one to come to the school for my evening class. Every day I would find her in the lunch room, studying her notes as she ate her dinner, which was always a supersize meal from McDonald's, Burger King, or Subway. Since I had always imagined French women to be reed-thin, meeting Sophie was a bit startling. To my mind, she was proof of the damage that the typical American diet and lifestyle could do.
In her book, Guiliano writes about her experience of gaining a lot of weight as an exchange student living in America and how her family doctor put her on the road to weight loss by teaching her how to eat quality foods in moderation. Using his tips and tricks, she lost the weight and has kept it off for decades. There are no gimmicks, just some time-honoured advice based on how French women traditonally act and think in relation to food. It all comes down to taking time with your food and eating in moderation. If you buy the best quality food you can afford, you will be satisfied both physically and emotionally; you won't feel the compulsion to stuff yourself with junk and empty calories.
The thing is, moderation itself is something that is difficult for humans. We have evolved with a feast-or-famine mechanism that has ensured our survival throughout the millenia but can make it difficult for us to control ourselves in the constant presence of an abundance of food. But I do believe that over time, we can learn to eat more mindfully. The way of eating described in this book is not akin to a diet, something you go on and off of. It's a lifestyle change. A true lifestyle change–not a diet in the guise of a lifestyle change. Nothing is forbidden and occasional splurges are encouraged. It's a system of checks and balances. If you indulge one day, you simply cut back the next. At its heart, this book is a manual that can help you learn to eat for pleasure.
I have been on countless diets over the years but none of them worked. I would start to gain the weight back before I even reached my goal weight. By following Mireille's advice, I have been able to lose twenty-five pounds and keep it off for four years without feeling deprived. I don't necessarily eat how much I want whenever I want, but I do eat what I want. And that to me is most important, because a life without cheese, chocolate and French bread is just not worth living!

Government of India has made it mandatory for businesses to have a registered GSTIN which acts as its legal business identity. The GST act mandates that only those businesses who are registered with the GST Network and have an assigned GSTIN are eligible to charge GST. Since its launch, there have been numerous instances where people have used fake GSTINs towards fraudulent claims. Before you pay GST, learn how to identify a fake GSTIN and verify its authenticity.
The GSTIN is not just a simple alpha-numeric code. As a first step, it is important for you to know how a GSTIN number is structured and what constitutes the 15 character GSTIN.
(A) Via GSTN Portal:
Go to GSTN Portal. From the drop down of Search Taxpayers, click on search by GSTIN/UIN, enter the GSTIN number you want to verify, and click on search.
(B) Via SahiGST's Online GSTIN Verification tool:
You can use the GSTIN search tool on this page (scroll above) and get details of any registered GSTIN. The data is fetched directly from official GSTN servers. You can search details of single GSTIN or upload file to search upto 50 GSTINs with a single search, in seconds.
To understand more about possible GST frauds and to learn in detail how to verify if a business is GST registered, read this blog post. If you are looking for a solution to help you with your GST return filing write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Network tools for Windows
If you want to get all the information about your current network connection in an easy to read textual format you should learn how to use ipconfig.exe tool. It is a powerful and at the same time easy to use tool.
To run it you need to first launch Command Prompt. On older Windows versions (before 8) this could be done from Start menu: select Run... then type cmd.exe and press Enter. On newer Windows versions (8 or newer) you can just type cmd.exe in search and select Command Prompt result.
In Command Prompt window type ipconfig /a. This will give you information about all network connections on your computer. Below you will find a list of fields which are shown for each network connection and what they mean.
Default gateway - This field contains IP address of your router. That's an address you need to type in your browser address bar to get to your router administrative interface
DHCP Enabled - If set to YES your router will automatically assign IP addresses to all devices on the network. If NO then every device need to have a predefined IP address. Typically it is set to YES for small home and business networks.
Description - network connection name
IPv6 address - Current device IP in IPv6 address space.
IPv4 address - Current device IP. This is an address other devices on the network will use to connect to your current device.
DHCP server - address of DHCP server. This is a server which automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on the network. Typically it will be address of your router.
Subnet mask - defines what IP addresses could be used by devices in your network.

Casale adds key fertilizer technologies to its portfolio
January 2015
Casale SA, the Swiss global leader in ammonia, urea, methanol and melamine technologies, has acquired Borealis' proprietary process technologies for the production of nitric acid (NA), ammonium nitrate (AN) and urea-ammonium nitrate solution (UAN), as well as other technologies for different downstream fertilizer products including granulation technology. Borealis is a leading provider of innovative solutions in the fields of polyolefins, base chemicals and fertilizers.
As part of the deal, Casale will collaborate closely with Borealis on further development of the process technologies.
"Acquiring these excellent technologies is an important step in our strategy to expand Casale's process design capabilities to downstream products directly linked with our traditional technologies, ammonia and urea, so that we can serve the nitrogen fertilizer industry in the most complete and integrated way" says Giuseppe Guarino, Casale's Chief Executive Officer. "Casale Holding's recent acquisition of the control of Chemoproject Nitrogen, a Czech engineering company that has built tens of nitric acid and nitrates plants, fits particularly well with this latest deal with Borealis. The specific plant engineering expertise of Chemoproject Nitrogen perfectly complements the process know-how we have just acquired. This means that we can now offer the fertilizer industry the most complete possible solution for nitric acid plants and their integration into nitrogen fertilizer complexes."
Federico Zardi, Casale's Chief Operational Officer, adds: "This is much more than a straight technology acquisition. We have entered into a continuing partnership with Borealis under which the two companies will co-operate closely in the future development of these technologies. This is a partnership that combines the best of all worlds – Casale's innovative vision and technical excellence, which are the foundation stones of our culture, Borealis' technical and operational experience as a producer, and the inestimable benefit of having Borealis' production facilities in which to test new developments."
"This partnership meets our objective to partner with a global engineering and technology leader who can leverage the maximum value of this fertilizer technology portfolio," says Hubert Puchner, Borealis Vice President Business Development Base Chemicals. "Our fertilizer operations and product development will benefit from the synergies between Borealis' core competencies, such as the production and distribution of high quality fertilizers, and Casale's engineering and technology leadership."
"We remain committed to growing our fertilizer business and improving the quality of our products," comments Markku Korvenranta, Borealis Executive Vice President Base Chemicals. "Our goal is to build on our strengths in production, operations and distribution, alongside a relentless focus on efficiency, reliability and safety. Our technology partnership with Casale represents a strategic step to focus on our core markets within the European fertilizer industry, where we have ambitious growth targets."

|Most of you know My Beauty Addiction by their cosmetics but did you also know that they sell more than just cosmetics? It's true, My Beauty Addictions products go way beyond cosmetics with their supply of skin toners, deodorants, body sprays, lotions, facial cleaners, etc. I was fortunate enough to be able to try all of these things and wound up with a positive outcome for using these products. My favorite were the body spray and deodorant, I was skeptical at first about the deodorant just because I didn't think it would give me the protection that I would need throughout the day but as always I was pleasantly surprised, it kept me fresh and smelling good all day. The body spray smells so good, it smells like Strawberry Ice Cream and sprays on easy and lasts all day. I have to tell you that when it comes to facial cleansers I hardly use any just because it never gets all my makeup off so I was sure that My Beauty Addiction's would have the same outcome. When I first used it and dried my face, I was expecting to see leftover eyeliner around my eyes, I took the towel off my face and my face was clean, no leftover makeup anywhere. After using the cleanser I sprayed the toner on my face, it dried super quick and left my face feeling so soft. I am not one to use facial masks but decided to try My Beauty Addictions mask, I followed the directions and I kid you not it's like exfoliation for your face, my face was the softest it's ever been. I am so surprised at this skin care line, I have combination skin so whatever I use will either dry my face or leave it oily, this line did neither, it left my face feeling so refreshed and soft, the perfect balance for my skin. Thank you to My Beauty Addiction for allowing me to try out these awesome products. If you haven't checked out their website, please do it you won't be disappointed. http://www.mybeautyaddiction.com

I love going back and poring over old writing projects of mine. It always feels like revisiting old friends to me. I grew up with some of these characters, and like anyone who's ever picked up a book or a movie or a song and treasured it over the course of their lives, every time you find yourself turning back to that one treasured book, song, movie (or for me, revisiting old stories, old characters), it feels like coming home again.
Sometimes I find myself cringing at the way I wrote back then, seeing how far I've come as I learn more about myself as a person, as a writer, and more about how to improve upon my craft, but still, when I go back, I always push myself to look past my past failings, and to see the stories buried deep within the words themselves.
To see the worlds and the lives and the creations I dreamed up in my youth. I remember how they drew me back then—how the secret worlds spiraling through my mind called out to me, begging for my attention, begging me to bring their stories to life, and to share them with others.
Even now, as I comb back through my old writings—worn notebooks, pages creased and falling apart with age—I find it's just as easy for me to fall into those stories now as it was back then.
I love every minute of being a writer. Even when inspiration strikes in the midst of chaos and a flurry of activity, I love it. I love it for the way it allows me to hear one phrase from anyone's lips or one line from a song and sends a shockwave of sights and sounds and tastes and smells cascading through my mind.
I love it for the worlds it's opened me to, for the hundreds of lives I've lived over the course of my lifetime. I love it for the way it colors my view of the world as I find myself moving through it, trying to find my way in it.
I'd never have it any other way.

The Perfect House (Hardcover)
A Journey with the Renaissance Master Andrea Palladio
Scribner, 9780743205863, 288pp.
Publication Date: September 3, 2002
Other Editions of This Title:
Paperback (9/9/2003)
In The Perfect House, Witold Rybczysnki, whose books on domestic and landscape architecture have transformed our understanding of parks and buildings, looks at Palladio's famous villas, not with the eye of an art historian but with the eye of an architect. He wanted to know why a handful of houses in an obscure corner of the Venetian Republic should have made their presence felt hundreds of years later and halfway across the globe.
More than just a study of one of history's seminal architectural figures, "The Perfect House" reflects Rybczynski's intimacy with and enthusiasm for his subject. He not only reveals why the villas were so architecturally and culturally influential, he also imparts his enormous affection and admiration for the man who designed them. Embracing the elements of Rybczynski's most successful books on domestic architecture, Home and The Most Beautiful House in the World, this charming, revelatory meditation explores the dawn of domestic architecture and provides a new way of looking at everybuilding we inhabit or visit today.

AUSTIN, Tex. — One way to guarantee a strong reaction to the opening scene of your action comedy? Feature a slow-motion kitten.
A cute cat runs through a drug-related gunfight in "Keanu," the first film in which the comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, a.k.a. Key and Peele, share top billing. South by Southwest fans got a sneak peek at the film at a midnight screening over the weekend.
The sketches from the stars' Comedy Central show, which frequently approached absurdity, often took on a life of their own online, generating hundreds of millions of YouTube views.
So it was interesting to see how a real-life audience outside of the digital, shareable realm would respond to the team's work.
Before the screening, the two introduced the movie armed with stuffed kittens to throw into the crowd.
Mr. Key said, "This is the work-in-progress screening of 'Keanu,' which basically means, if you like it, good, that's the movie. If you don't, we're changing it so hard."
Mr. Peele added, "If you don't like it, it's just going to be 'John Wick 2.'"
Initially the audience laughed heartily at jokes stemming from that star-worthy kitten, and various gags involving the actors as none-too-streetwise characters pretending to be gangsters. But the energy in the room didn't stay as lively throughout and there were some lulls. A late screening time may have contributed, but the early reviews were mixed.
Justin Chang at Variety called it "initially amusing but fatally overstretched." Eric Kohn at Indiewire said the movie "returns to variations of the same punchlines again and again." However, John DeFore at The Hollywood Reporter called it a "consistently funny action-comedy."
The finished film opens nationwide April 29.

Teaching science to kids can be creative and fun! It's easy to make school at home interesting and interactive to inspire a love for learning. I am not a natural teacher; I am super crafty, kind of disorganized and I go with the flow but I find ways to enforce my kids' daily routine and make our homeschool schedule work. My oldest child is in kindergarten this year and she's been learning how to write her letters, do basic math and explore simple scientific principles. We love doing experiments with color and learning about the 5 senses! Here are a few projects we've enjoyed to mix up our daily homeschool routine.
Make Radial Designs with Rainbow Skittles
Kids will love watching the colors from these sweet treats flow into a radial design! For this colorful project you need a plate, a handful of Skittles and water. Arrange the Skittles candies around the edge of the plate and pour 1/8 inch of water onto the plate. The water will cause the Skittles colors to bleed and run towards the center of the plate.
Sort Salt & Pepper Using Static Electricity
You can use static electricity to sort salt and pepper with this simple kids' science activity. Kids will also discover that salt is heavier than pepper. Blow up a balloon and rub it against something fuzzy like the arm of your sweater or the top of your head to "charge it". Mix together a quantity of salt and pepper and hold the balloon over the mixture. The charged balloon will attract and pick up the lighter pepper and leave the heavier salt behind.
Create a Playdough Volcano Eruption
My husband helped my kids make these colorful playdough volcanoes. Kids can form a mountain shape and create a hollow in the middle of the volcano. Pour in a small quantity of vinegar, add a scoop of baking soda and watch the volcano erupt!
Explore Speed & Velocity with Water Beads
The other day we created an interactive water bead activity to explore speed and velocity. Connect several tubes of PVC pipe together to make a track and place a tub at one end. Elevate the other end of the tube and send water beads down the track! Kids will learn that water beads roll faster when the tube is elevated higher and slower when the tube angle is lowered. They can also send water beads down the track individually or pour in a whole cupful all together. We used a medium storage box at the end of the tube to keep the water beads from rolling all over the floor.
Analyze Flavors with a Taste Test
Lunchtime can be transformed into a science project with a taste test! My kids love examining different flavors and sampling an assortment of foods with a taste test. Fill a small muffin tin with a few pieces of different foods. I usually include foods such as blueberries, banana slices, pickles, ham, cheese, sour cream, olives, salsa, crackers, carrot sticks, chocolate chips, marshmallows and yogurt. My kids love identifying the different flavors as sweet, salty, spicy or sour.
Teaching my kids is much more fun for me and them if I make our school lessons interesting and fun! Of course my daughter still has to complete her schoolwork but I try to plan a few engaging educational activities per week. I hope you enjoy trying out any of these creative science projects with your kids.
