Two Oakland Terrace Elementary School students were recognized Tuesday in Silver Spring, Maryland, for their quick thinking while patrolling just outside the school after a kindergartner ran toward oncoming traffic.
"He was playing with his toy; his mother was behind him. She was telling him to stop," said Shelby Taft, one of the patrols who stopped him. She and Sadie Haynes were able to grab a hold of him.
"I grabbed his arm, and Shelby went in front of him," Haynes added.
Their bravery was honored Tuesday with the highest school safety patrol honor, the Lifesaving Medal, presented by AAA.
Haynes, who has been a patrol for a year now, said she was glad to be making a difference. "It makes me feel really happy," she added.
Taft said about being a part of the patrols, "You feel like you're always out there in case somebody needs help."
She added that she hopes one day the little boy will also make a difference for someone in need. Her message to him: "I hope you can think about this day when you get older, and maybe become a safety patrol yourself."

Topic Page: Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von (1749 - 1832)
German poet, novelist, dramatist, and scholar. He is generally considered the founder of modern German literature, and was the leader of the Romantic Sturm und Drang movement. His masterpiece is the poetic play Faust (1808 and 1832). His other works include the partly autobiographical Die Leiden des Jungen Werthers/The Sorrows of the Young Werther (1774); the classical dramas Iphigenie auf Tauris/Iphigenia in Tauris (1787), Egmont (1788), and Torquato Tasso (1790); the Wilhelm Meister novels (1795–1829); the short novel Die Wahlverwandschaften/Elective Affinities (1809); and scientific treatises including Farbenlehre/Treatise on Colour (1810).
Goethe was born in Frankfurt-am-Main, and studied law. Inspired by Shakespeare, to whose work he was introduced by the critic J G von Herder, he wrote the play Götz von Berlichingen (1773), heralding the Sturm und Drang movement. The inspiration for Die Leiden des Jungen Werthers came from an unhappy love affair. He took part in public life at the court of Duke Charles Augustus in Weimar 1775–86, and pursued his interests in scientific research. A year and a half spent in Italy 1786–88 was a period of great development for Goethe, when he outgrew the Sturm und Drang movement and worked towards the Greek ideal of calm and harmony.
The publication of Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre/Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship (1795–96) established Goethe's enduring fame throughout Europe. Faust, written in the intervals between other work, over a period of more than 50 years, reflects the evolution of Goethe's own thinking and character, from youth to age. The two parts of the work are as dissimilar as the influences under which they were written, the first being romantic, the second classical in form and spirit.
Goethe was educated privately and studied at Leipzig and Strasbourg, where he met Herder who introduced him to Shakespeare, the old German epics, and folk song. In 1771 Goethe qualified as a lawyer and returned to Frankfurt. The influences he had experienced in Strasbourg led him to join the rebellion against the sterile classicism which pervaded much of contemporary German literature, and he produced his Shakespearean-type drama about a medieval knight Götz von Berlichingen. In 1772 he spent the summer at Wetzlar with Georg Christian Kestner and his fiancée Charlotte Buff, with whom Goethe fell in love. The situation was honourably sustained by all three, and provided the material for his next work.
In 1775 Goethe accepted an invitation from Duke Charles Augustus to his court in Weimar. He was created Geheimrat (privy councillor), then president of the chamber of finance, and was ennobled 1782. His love for Charlotte von Stein, which lasted ten years, dates from 1776. During the early years at Weimar, Goethe occupied his time with court duties and scientific research, in which he combined keen observation and poetic intuition. He discovered the intermaxillary bone in the human jaw (thus anticipating Charles Darwin's link between humans and apes); and argued that the skull was a modification of the spine, and that all the parts of a plant are modifications of the leaf. In physics, he argued against Isaac Newton's theory of light. He also devoted much time to the study of painting.
In Italy from 1786, he spent most of his time in Rome and Naples. During this period he changed his intellectual standpoint, leaving behind the Sturm und Drang phase. He recast and published Iphigenie, in which the rules of classical poetry, cast aside with jubilant satisfaction in his earlier writings, were closely observed.
On returning to Weimar 1788, he relinquished many of his court offices to devote himself to writing and, from 1791, to his new role as director of the Weimar court theatre. He fell in love with Christiane Vulpius, who inspired his Römische Elegien 1788. They were married 1806, a son having been born 1789. In 1794 Goethe and Schiller, who had been acquaintances and, in some degree, rivals, began a close friendship which lasted until Schiller's death. The two poets launched a magazine, Die Horen, to try to raise the standard of taste in art and literature.
In his rambling and discursive romance Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre, Goethe describes the career of a young German artist at the beginning of the 19th century. The weak-willed hero attains self-control and a sense of duty. In Faust, a work of unique biographical interest, Faust, like Goethe, struggles for perfection, often yields to evil, but never comes to love it or to lose his belief in the right and good. His failure in the quest for absolute knowledge leads him to despair, from which he is rescued only by a life of useful labour.

That's a wrap! China manufactures the world's thinnest condoms, and Japan will pay up (… 1 yuan) for claiming otherwise.
After Guangzhou condom manufacturer Daming Lianhe broke in December 2013 the commendable Guinness World Record for thinnest condoms, it was appalled and outraged to discover that its predecessor, Japanese firm Okamoto, was still advertising its own products as the "thinnest record holder."
Daming Lianhe thus sued the hell out of Okamoto and, as ruled by a Yuexiu district court in Guangdong, will be compensated with all of 1 yuan for damages, reports SCMP. More substantially, Okamoto are now banned from using the bragging rights it acquired in March 2012.
For reporting's sake, the Okamoto condoms have an average thickness of 0.038mm; Daming slayed them by 2mm, with an average thickness of 0.036mm.
It's unclear if Okamoto will be contesting the verdict, since "second thinnest record holder" doesn't have the same ring to it.
It's also unclear how much of a difference 2mm makes in "customer satisfaction," but one is loath to argue with China's pride in producing as many weird and wonderful world records as humanly possible.

Illuminationist or ishraqi philosophy is a type of Islamic philosophy introduced by Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi in the twelfth century CE.
Influenced by Ibn Sina and Neoplatonism, the Persian[1][2][3][4] or Kurdish,[5][6][7][8] philosopher Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi (1155–1191), who left over 50 writings in Persian and Arabic, founded the school of Illumination. He developed a version of illuminationism (Persian ? hikmat-i ishr?q, Arabic ? ?ikmat al-ishr?q). The Persian and Islamic school draws on ancient Iranian philosophical disciplines,[9][10] Avicennism (Ibn Sina's early Islamic philosophy), Neoplatonic thought (modified by Ibn Sina), and the original ideas of Suhrawardi.
In his Philosophy of Illumination, Suhrawardi argued that light operates at all levels and hierarchies of reality (PI, 97.7–98.11). Light produces immaterial and substantial lights, including immaterial intellects (angels), human and animal souls, and even 'dusky substances', such as bodies.[11]
Suhrawardi's metaphysics is based on two principles. The first is a form of the principle of sufficient reason. The second principle is Aristotle's principle that an actual infinity is impossible.[12]
None of Suhrawardi's works were translated into Latin, and so he remained unknown in the Latin West, although his work continued to be studied in the Islamic East.[13] According to Hosein Nasr, Suhrawardi was unknown to the west until he was translated to western languages by contemporary thinkers such as Henry Corbin, and he remains largely unknown even in countries within the Islamic world.[14] Suhrawardi tried to present a new perspective on questions like those of existence. He not only caused peripatetic philosophers to confront such new questions but also gave new life to the body of philosophy after Avicenna.[15] According to John Walbridge, Suhrawardi's critiques of Peripatetic philosophy could be counted as an important turning point for his successors. Although Suhravardi was first a pioneer of Peripatetic philosophy, he later became a Platonist following a mystical experience. He is also counted as one who revived the ancient wisdom in Persia by his philosophy of illumination. His followers, such as Shahrzouri and Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi tried to continue the way of their teacher. Suhrewardi makes a distinction between two approaches in the philosophy of illumination: one approach is discursive and another is intuitive.[16]

There are parts of ourselves that are so well known to us, that they become an essential part of defining who we are and how we feel about our person.
My body … my physical self, is that to me.
– might war (Extract taken from 'Muffled')
That is why this illness has had such a great impact on my sense of well-being.
As someone who has spent most of her life in communion with her body, this disorder has felt like a personal affront.
But I have been given a wonderful gift, Ladies and Gentleman. An old friend contacted me and asked if she could choreograph a dance to Muffled – the piece I wrote about the illness' impact on my relationship to my body.
And here it is:
Thank you so much, M. Because I am no longer able to dance through my body, I have been relying on dancing through my words.
Thank you for allowing us to borrow your body to speak whilst my physical self and I cannot.

Chess Tempo
Site: chesstempo.com
Type: Board Game, Entertainment
Chess Tempo is a website for chess enthusiast who wish to improve their game. The website does not offer games versus other players, instead you can put your skills to the test by attempting to solve tactical chess positions to the best of your abilities. For all your efforts ratings are maintained to signify the progress of your chess fortitude.
The site can be used for free for the most part, the paid membership unlocks better searching possibilities, custom position collections, unlimited endgame training and some other perks. That being said, if you just want to train your tactical abilities with a vast collection of rated training positions, then a free account is all you need.
A good program for chess training with a similar approach is Lucas Chess. It also has a lot of other features, but is tailored more towards chess novices. If you are looking for a chess site that offers player vs. player games, have a look at Chess.com.
This training is the heart of Chess Tempo. The collection of positions puts your inner chess tactician to the test. All the positions are situations form real games that have been automatically analyzed and evaluated for the training corpus. The task in each is to make the right combination of winning moves, they are like puzzles that have a solution that is clearly superior to the alternatives.
The problems can be tackled in standard or blitz mode. Blitz factors in the time taken for the solution to calculate your rating change, in standard mode the timer is visible but the time doesn't matter for the rating. You can select which way you want to play in the user preferences.
Every position has a rating and every attempt by a user so solve it is judged like a regular chess game. If you make the right moves, your own rating goes up and the position's rating down and vice versa. In this manner you quickly approach a rating that is a fairly accurate reflection of your tactical skills. The positions likewise gravitate towards their real difficulty while users attempt to solve them and those you get to see are around your own rating, so that you are always faced with a fair challenge.
The right move will usually get you a piece ahead of your opponent, just winning a pawn is seldom enough, or win the game on the spot. Occasionally you will also face positions that are nor as complicated as they seem at first glance and the right move is to just grab a hanging piece. When these come up you will probably first try to find a move combination that involves some brilliancy and often fail because it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking the most obvious move can't be the right one. Another important thing about the positions is that you are always at a pressure point, you don't have time to juggle pieces before you make the important move. The right moves always and inevitably lead to an instant (material) win.
At the start be sure to check which side you are playing, this is indicated by a white or black knight piece in the upper left corner of the page. Right next to it is the timer and below you can see which castling moves are still possible for both sides.
If you are a chess novice or not used to this kind of tactical chess puzzle, I highly recommend using only the standard mode and to take all the time you need for finding the right move. The solution is usually so overwhelmingly superior to most other moves, that you won't have many doubts if you find it. Occasionally there are also secondary moves that are only slightly inferior to the solution, in these cases you will get a notification to that effect and can make another attempt to get it right.
You should only give up or guess when you really don't see the winning move after a couple of minutes. After a failed try, check the solution and analyze why it is the best move. If you keep doing the tactical training and are making an effort to understand your mistakes, then you should see your rating and tactical prowess increasing over time.
Whether you passed or failed the test, after the position is done some stats will be displayed on the left side. Among them are the position's rating and the average solution time. Here you will also see the tags assigned by the community to each position, they show what themes the tactical problem in the position exhibits. If you click the comments button, you will see the what others had to say about the problem. Quite often other players provide their analysis in the comments, it's worth taking a look when you don't see what the crucial point of a position is. In the upper right corner of the chess board you will see how your and the position's rating changed with your attempt.
In the training menu you can see that the tactics training is also available as an "old" version. The only difference between the two is the page layout, the new version can be configured in numerous way by clicking the little wrench symbol in the upper left corner of the chess board and by resizing the board. The old version is relatively static, but a little faster.
The endgame training generally follow the same concept as the tactical training, but with a maximum of five pieces in endgame situations instead of the tactical midgame positions. The task is either to checkmate the opposing king or to get into an endgame with the odds considerably stacked in your favor. The latter usually involves taking one of the last opponent pieces leaving the other king without hope of escape.
This type of practice is very useful if you often find yourself in practically won endgame positions, but are wondering time and again how exactly you can execute the checkmate most efficiently.
The endgame positions have two training modes: theory and practice. Theory only allows the optimal moves that lead to the quickest win. Practice allows any move unless it renders a mating impossible against an optimally acting opponent, e.g. by leading to a draw. The score and thus the rating change for both are calculated with the number of moves made (or attempted in theory mode) compared to the optimal solution.
There is a button labeled "play best" below the board that does just that, but incurs a hefty penalty to your move count. For that reason it's probably seldom worth using, unless you are really clueless about any way to proceed.
You can also opt to play a position in blitz mode by clicking the corresponding button. This will activate a count down timer and you will be allowed to make any move, even if you were in theory mode before. With blitz mode you get the maximum score for a position as long as you solve it within the allotted time, there is no penalty for suboptimal moves and no bonus for time left on the clock.
After you are done with a position, you will see how your suboptimal moves (if any) prolonged a mate in the annotations on the right side and the stats on the left will show how many additional moves others needed on average. Like the tactics training, the endgame training has a comments section where users often share their thoughts on the current problem.
Note: Free accounts can only try two endgame positions per day after the first ten.
Guess the Move
This training puts you in the position of a chess master in a real recorded game. The objective is to figure out the best move in every position as the game unfolds. If you make the same move the master made or if you make the move with the best engine evaluation, you get full points and your rating increases. All other moves grant or subtract point according to their rating. It's noteworthy that every single position of the game has its own rating that is being automatically adjusted as you and others are attempting to find the best moves. Your rating adjustment for each move attempt is computed from the rating of the position on question.
The annotation area not only shows the actual moves made in the master game. If your indicated moves diverge, they are listed as variants together with their rating in pawn units.
On the left side are stats that change with every move and allow you to see how you are performing so far. The comments for the game will only be visible after you have finished to prevent spoilers.
Other Features
Tactical Motifs: This is a list of the chess themes that can be applied as tags to the tactical problems. The list is quite comprehensive and each entry comes with a description and board showing the motif. It's an interesting overview if you want to know what kind of tactical finesses chess has to offer.
Chess Database: Contains games, openings and a lot of statistics about their success ratios. This is a good resource to find out which opening moves work better in the long run. The game database can be filtered by player strength, by default only games from players with a strength above 2200 are shown. The number of games for each continuation by default actually reflects the number of games with that position, including transpositions. That means other move lines that ended with the same follow-up position also contribute to the displayed number. The performance number of a move is green when the move's rating is above the average player rating who made that move and red if it is below.
Stats: Your performance in numbers, tables and graphs. This overview is a good way to see if your training is paying off in the form of increasing ratings. If your rating is going sideways or even down, take more time to analyze the positions and your mistakes.

I've started to hear some strange talk lately from millennials. These are the same folks who inexplicably favor vinyl records over technically superior lossless digital audio files. I've started hearing them talk about "the antenna culture" as a new way of experiencing video entertainment much the same way they listen to "vinyls" now. It's something like this:
Turn your phone off. Walk into a room, turn the TV on manually. Set the channel you want to watch and … watch it. Live. Since you can't actually work most consumer electronics without a remote, use it when you have to, but put it on the TV so you have to get up to change the channel or turn up the volume. Even better, set the channel and volume the way you want it to be, and leave it there.
Then, enjoy a blissful hour of focusing on whatever is in front of you, no matter how much you want to do something else. Don't text, tweet, don't look up the actor you just saw on IMDB. Don't search to see how cheap you can get the outfit you just saw in the commercial. In other words, watch TV the way your parents did, the way maybe you did if you're old enough to remember life without VCRs.
The extreme outer fringe of this group only depends on what's over the air, but realistically most folks in "the antenna culture" choose whatever they want to watch from their live choices.
I didn't know that I was part of "the antenna culture" until I was traveling recently and someone used that term. I was talking about how I de-stress while in a hotel room by watching live TV and putting all the electronics on the desk. It's surprisingly effective, and forces you into considering a lot more about the program you're watching. If it's a news program, you can get drawn in by body language and tone of voice, but be careful to choose a program without too many distracting graphics to feed your need for attention. Just sit back and relax. A lot of hotels carry BBC World or CNBC, this is perfect for this.
Yes, it's a little funny to know that you could be ten times as productive if you wanted to be, but is paying 10% attention to ten things really being ten times more productive? Some things are really only achievable with a state of deep focus that we seem never to have time for anymore. When you put yourself in a state where one thing, happening live and happening once, gets your full attention, you find there's so much more you can learn from the moment in front of you.
At least, once you get over the nervous twitches telling you to text someone, swipe at candies, or check your office emails. While all these things are important to some degree, what's more important sometimes is sitting back and just understanding the world as it unfolds. That's a sort of Zen way of looking at things and it's really kind of funny that it's all due to television, watched the way it was originally intended to be watched, all happening as they say "at the speed of life."
