At a recent RSE TASC meeting in Albany, we were presented with the following selection of evaluation "shorts" as part of an engagement activity leading to the topic of evaluating professional development. The facilitator led us through a process by which we took "I" time to read each short and then turned to a partner to process and share learning. By activating and engaging the group members in this manner, all of the participants were able to learn content, focus their thinking on the topic at hand and engage in dialogue which allowed for processing of information and making connections to current work. I began to think about the power of using "shorts" such as these at staff meetings to engage participants in thinking more deeply about targeted topics and applying new learning to their work without necessarily having to read pages of articles or journals. Each short in itself could be a catalyst for a change in thought when paired with an effective processing activity such as those found on the National Faculty for School Reform website, www.nsrfharmony.org/protocol/a_z.html. A few of my favorites are Save the Last Word for Me, 4A's Text Protocol, and Final Word. Give it a try at your next meeting! Here are the shorts to get you started….
1. History of Professional Development Evaluation as told by Guskey
Unlike many fields that have a history of steady improvement built on a continually expanding knowledge base, professional learning of educators has a mixed history at best. Sure, we have occasional success stories based on anecdotal evidence. Case studies here and there depict experience that participants considered "effective" because there experience offered useful ideas or were relevant their on-the-job responsibilities. What we do not have however, is strong and convincing evidence from activities and program improvements in diverse context that resulted in better practice and improved student learning.
2. Assessment vs. Evaluation
Although the terms are often used interchangeably, there is an important difference between assessment and evaluation. Chittenden (1991) defines assessment as the process of collecting and organizing information or data so that the learning may be evaluated or judged. Evaluating uses the results of assessment to make judgments about growth (how much and individual has changed) and progress (Owen, 1994). Yet assessment and evaluation are closely related. Assessment is possible without evaluation; however evaluation is not possible without assessment.
3. Are Professional Development Providers too far removed from Student Outcomes to Assess Impact?
Some educators contend that improving student learning outcomes represents too lofty a goal for many professional learning activities. Those in education service agencies and state or district office, for example often indicate they are too far removed from classroom interaction to expect their efforts to consistently reach that level. Because of this distance, they should only be accountable for providing evidence that the professional learning activities they plan and coordinate improve educator' knowledge and skills. But if professional learning activities increase educators' knowledge and skills but result in no change I school or classroom practice and no improvements in student learning, would we consider these activities successful?
4. Collection of Useful Data that fits the Realities of our Work
Decision makers need useful data to make informed judgments about the results of professional learning. In most cases, sophisticated research methodologies are impractical and not the answer. Instead, school system and school leaders need resources and tools that fit with the realities of their work environments and enable them to gain greater understanding about whether professional learning is solving their problems, improving their school, team, and individual performance, and helping more students to achieve standards.
5. Proof vs. Evidence
Keep in mind, too, that good evidence is not that hard to come by if you know what you're looking for before you begin. If you do a good job of clarifying your goals up front, most evaluation issues pretty much fall into line. The reason many educators think evaluation at Levels 4 and 5 is so difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, is because they are coming in after the fact to search for results. It is as if they are saying, "We don't know what we are doing or why we are doing it, but let's find out if anything happened" (Gordon, 1991). If you don't know where you are going, it's very difficult to tell if you've arrived.

Mortgage fraud also referred to as real estate fraud, is a type of fraud in connection with mortgage transactions. It usually involves misrepresentation or misstatement on mortgage documents. If someone submits a fake W-2 form or obtains an inflated property appraisal then that amounts to mortgage fraud.
Mortgage fraud usually involves two parties – the ones providing false information and the one that relies on that information to finish the transaction.

Feeding the swan attracted lots of screeching seagulls.
It has snowed a lot while we were away. The weather is cold and clear and beautiful.
Fay wanted a snowman, so we built one using the fine powder snow that has collected on our little balcony.
It is really too cold to build a proper snowman – the snow crystals does not sinter into lumps when it is so cold and dry – so it became more of a snow-pile than a snow-man.
Finally the pile was high enough, and a small snow-lump on top served as a head. Fay carefully placed jellybeans for the eyes and nose:
Voilŕ! Casper the snow-man/monster. With a bit of left-over christmas wrapping he got a bit of hair too…
Very stylish, don't you think?
Here is one we saw in Behai Park in Beijing earlier…
He has a a stick pipe and arms. More of a proper snowman than our snow-mountain.

Fay gave me the great wall for Christmas. We took a taxi out to Badaling and walked up the shorter eastern section first. In december we had the wall practically to ourselves. Lovely and not too cold in the sunshine. After finishing the trip down to the bottom, we chose to attack the steep western section instead of going back to the taxi. The wind picked up, the sun was hidden by the ridgeline. Thus began a long climb up, one watchtower at a time. 'This one will be the highest! This time for sure!' only for another set of stairs to appear around the corner. Finally we reached the summit. The view is pretty impressive.
Now i just hope i can walk tomorrow.

Beyond The Wilderness. Setting Up. Day 2.
Well, today went a lot better than yesterday. I'm still absolutely wiped out though.
I was thinking of posting a photo of the works, as we managed to finish hanging the show (pretty much) today. But if I did that, you wouldn't come to the Private View tomorrow night. Ha!
So, I just have to line up the lighting track so that the works are well lit up, and drop Jonny Baker's photo down by about 5 cms. And then we're done.
Oh yes – and label all the works. And tidy up this lot:
Fortunately, I've had the help of the lovely Doerthe Rosenow. She doesn't normally look like this, but I think I've broken her spirit:
If you're thinking of coming, then I look forward to seeing you tomorrow night.
The address is:
12 Cardinal Place,
Cardinal Walk,
Victoria St.
Basically come out of Victoria Station, head for Victoria Street. Look for the big glass building with the roof that drops down into a point at ground level. Go in past the shops, and up the escalator. The gallery is the SW1 Gallery, next to Wagamamas.
Private View is from 6 – 9pm. drinks are free. Readers of this blog are most welcome.

China sets up fund to bankroll corporate takeovers
Filed under: Global News
No surprise that China is going to start being more aggressive with their large FX reserves. This fund will be capitalized with $1.9 billion to start. It will be very interesting to see where this fund starts deploying their cash in different markets. If I had such a large base of reserves, I would want to hedge in a manner that protected my investment. I think we will see this invested in productive assets like "stuff" not so much fiat.
One of the investments cited in the article is a large water & sewer in the United Kingdom. We will see more investments along those lines in my opinion.
DW: Boasting $3.2 trillion in foreign currency reserves, China has created a new fund aimed at financing takeover bids abroad. The fund also seeks to boost China's currency in global financial markets. In its drive to step up overseas investment, the Chinese government has set up a new fund worth 12 billion yuan ($1.9 billion), Shanghai International Group said in a statement Friday.
Shanghai International said it was responsible for running the fund, describing it as China's "biggest ever fund of its kind."
"The yuan-backed fund will help domestic companies go abroad in seeking more investment opportunities," China's central bank deputy governor Liu Shiyu was quoted by the official Shanghai Daily newspaper as saying.
The fund is planned to grow to 50 billion yuan, and can be boosted to 150 billion yuan through loans and bond issues. Apart from financing overseas acquisitions, it is also intended to promote greater use of the Chinese currency yuan – also known as renminbi – in foreign transactions.

ICC on Mouse Models of Cancer - October 7-8th, 2010
As organisers, we invite you to attend the IDIBELL Cancer Conference on Mouse Models of Cancer (ICC on Mouse Models of Cancer). The meeting will be held at the Hesperia Convention Centre.
The ICC on Mouse Models of Cancer will begin on Thursday morning, October 7th, 2010, and will conclude on Friday afternoon, October 8th, 2010. The objective of ICC on Mouse Models of Cancer is to promote the communication and discussion about the last advances in different topics of cancer research by using mouse models, both, genetically modified mouse models, that overexpress or lack a specific gene, and xenograft models, immunodeficient mice bearing human tumours. These mouse models resemble basic features of human cancer and constitute an essential tool to characterize the genetic and molecular events leading to tumour development and directly involved in tumour progression and metastasis. These studies are fundamental to gain insight about the function of genes involved in these pathologic processes and to discover and validate new targets for anti-tumour therapy. Even more, these studies are relevant to design more efficient methods of diagnose and prediction of the pathological progression.
Applicants are encouraged to submit abstracts. A limited number of these abstracts will be selected for poster or oral presentation.

In this post, we are going to learn invoking lambda function using SNS Trigger. We will use SNS topic to display how lambda function captures SNS notifications.
- SNS topic
- Lambda function
Create SNS Topic
Go to SNS management console. Create a new topic with name LambdaSNSTopic. For more information see AWS documentation on Creating SNS topic.
Add trigger to a lambda function
Go to Lambda console and create a new lambda function.
- Under Configure triggers -> Add trigger SNS.
- Select SNS Topic LambdaSNSTopic and click on 'Enter value'. It will replace SNS topic name from its ARN. Click Next.
- Under basic information. Enter name : lambdaSNSIntegrationFunction. Select runtime Java 8.
- Upload function package*: aws-examples-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar file (Download from here).
- Enter Handler*: com.aws.example.lambda.SNSNotificationHandler::handleRequest
- Choose an existing role (lambdaFunctionTestRole) if already created. Otherwise select 'create new role from templates' and enter Role name:lambdaFunctionTestRole. Select Policy templates: Basic Edge Lambda permissions. For more details follow: configure and test lambda functions.
- Click Next
- Click on 'Create Function'
We have successfully added a trigger to our lambda function.
AWS Lambda function test
Now, we need to test our function. Enter following text as an input for 'Hello World' sample test event.
{ "Type": "Notification", "Subject": "My First Message", "Message": "lambda function called!" }
Now click on Save and Test button. You must see 'Execution result: succeeded'. Expand details label to see returned string from lambda function.
Publish SNS message to lambda function
Now, its time to test our lambda function by consuming SNS notification message. Go to SNS dashboard and select SNS topic: LambdaSNSTopic. On Topic LambdaSNSTopic details page click on 'Publish to topic' button and enter:
Subject: My First Message
Message format: Raw
Message: lambda function called!
Click on 'Publish Message'.
To check success we need to open cloud monitor logs. Open Monitoring section under Lambda function (lambdaSNSIntegrationFunction) details page. There is a link View Logs in CloudWatch. Open that link and you will be redirected to Cloud watch Logs section for lambdaSNSIntegrationFunction. To find success logs of SNS notification open recent log stream.
I hope this post will help you to understand How to add SNS trigger with a lambda function.

A number of retailers aren't too happy with the performance of the Cyberforce relaunch. Funded by Kickstarter to a six figure sum, it's been sold by Top Cow to retailers for a very small amount but they are intended to be given away for free. Retailers are meant to make their money from the variant editions supplied and increased interest in the title for subsequent issues
But it seems that there's just not that much interest in the comics from customers even if they're free. Possibly because they are free. There is a value attached to value. There hasn't been a great amount of promotion. And there's the realisation that the price of a variant cover of a free comic is severely hampered by that fact that the original version is free. It's just the way the market has reacted..
So Top Cow are trying to get retailers excited in the books again, and to prevent orders crashing down after the first issue. Firstly if retailers maintain orders for Cyberforce #2-#5 to three quarters of their original orders, they will get a very large discount on the Cyberforce TPB when that is solicited and large discounts on the full priced Cyberforce #6-#8.
Bleeding Cool would like to add its support to the comic, saying "free comics, what's wrong with you, seriously, ask your retailer if they have any left, it's free for goodness sake, honestly…"

A top European human rights official on Wednesday expressed her concerns about the Yellow Vest protests which have rocked France since last November.
"The high level of tension currently prevailing in France is causing me concern and I consider it urgent to calm down the situation," said Dunja Mijatovic, Council of Europe commissioner for human rights, following her visit to Paris on Monday.
Mijatovic's trip aimed to discuss with French authorities the human rights aspects of the Yellow Vest protests.
Addressing the violence by security forces during the demonstrations -- including against journalists -- she conveyed her concern about the many people injured, some seriously, as well as police injuries.
She said a French bill proposing stricter punishments for activists should not lead to any restrictions on freedom of expression or peaceful assembly, as well as the right to liberty and security.
Mijatovic also stressed the need to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms while keeping the peace.
The Yellow Vest protests, which started as a reaction to fuel tax hikes and evolved into a protest against President Emmanuel Macron, have continued despite government calls for them to halt.
Since Nov. 17, thousands of protesters wearing bright yellow vests have gathered in major French cities, including Paris, to protest Macron's controversial fuel tax hikes and the country's deteriorating economic situation.
Demonstrators held protests blocking roads as well as the entrances and exits to gas stations and factories across the country.
Under pressure, Macron announced a rise in the minimum wage and scuttled the tax hikes.
Since then, the protests have grown into a broader movement aimed at tackling income inequality and are calling for giving citizens a stronger voice in government decision-making.
At least 10 people have died in the protests, around 6,000 have been detained, and over 2,000 others have been injured.

Not surprisingly, amputations are one of the most disabling injuries a person can suffer. Amputations may result in a lifetime of medical treatment, prosthetics and lost wages. A broken bone can also cause temporary or permanent disability, especially if it does not heal correctly and the person does not regain full use of the affected area.
Hazardous workplaces in a variety of industries can lead to accidents in which bones are broken. Similarly, accidents involving heavy equipment can cause amputations or cause injuries that subsequently require the amputation of limbs. When machinery or equipment is not maintained properly and necessary safety precautions are ignored, the likelihood of these injuries increases.
For a free consultation with a work-related broken bone lawyer in Charleston, please call 304-720-3566 or contact us online.
An Attorney Who Will Fight For The Compensation You Deserve
If you have suffered a serious work injury, you will most likely need an attorney to get adequate compensation. Your employer, the workers' compensation insurer and other negligent parties may try to deny your claim or offer you less compensation than you need. You can rely on Cormany Law PLLC to fight for you. We can represent people in any occupation and from any state as long as they were injured while in West Virginia.
Handling Accidents In All Types Of Workplaces
Broken bones and amputations that occur on the job are commonly caused by:
- Coal mine accidents
- Mine explosions
- Roof falls/rib rolls
- Gas drilling equipment accidents
- Construction accidents
- Heavy equipment and trucking accidents
- Logging and timbering accidents
- Manufacturing accidents
With an attorney's help, you can collect compensation from all liable parties. We investigate the events and causes that led to your broken bone or amputation to determine who is responsible. Typically, an injured worker is eligible for workers' compensation benefits as well as compensation from a personal injury suit against a negligent third party.
Depending on the details of the accident, you may also be able to sue your employer for additional damages if it knowingly put you in danger.
Discuss Your Workplace Injury With An Experienced Legal Professional
Call 304-720-3566 to schedule a free consultation.

Well I've been a bit crap at this the last few years, haven't I? I went from constantly planning, blogging, reviewing, reading and being involved in a wonderful online community in the U.K. to zilch, zippo, nada. It was like as soon as the hubbub from moving to the U.S. died down, so did my words and creativity. It's been a years long writing slump all around.
Very, very soon I'm going to be going back to regularly posting book reviews. There's a lot going on in my life right now and I desperately need some stability as well as a healthy distraction. Reading and reviewing has always been the answer.
I'm also planning a redesign of the site (possibly a logo as well) and will start reengaging in the book blogging community. That's later down the line. First, I want to get back to regularly posting reviews.
See you soon,

I made it through the first week at Citicorp and I'm tired. My lower legs burned again tonight during the walk from Citicorp to the subway station. I hope to be able to relax a bit over the weekend so my legs recuperate. The weather was better today – not nearly as windy out as it was yesterday.
There is a doggy day care center about a block away from Citicorp named "The Wagging Tail Doggie Day Care"- I like to see the dogs when I walk by.
I checked out their website and they have a live web cam so you can watch the dogs play – check it out at: www.thewaggingtail.com.
Tomorrow I need to get laundry done – John purchased a roll of quarters today from the campground office.
Not sure where we will go tomorrow – perhaps to see Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty up close… depends on the weather and how ambitious we are…
I would like to go see Big Mamma's House 2 but I'm not sure John would appreciate the movie's subtle complexities and subtexts as much as I would.
It seems strange not going out to Novak's and Amp tonight for burgers, beer and darts…. I guess we will have to find a way to entertain ourselves 😉

If you are one of those who have yet to experience the convenience of having air conditioning in your home, then you know how it feels. You should be feeling the heat by now. It does not matter whether you have opened the windows and simultaneously closed the curtains to keep the glaring sun out, you are feeling the heat. And it does not matter whether you have got one of those old-fashioned plug in fans.
Apart from it not really being effective in keeping things cool inside, it is a really expensive power using utility. Maybe you have noticed this already. Your utility bills seem to shoot through the roof during those extreme months of the year. In your neck of the woods, when it gets hot, it really gets uncomfortably hot. But if it's a winter blight for you and you are using those expensive heaters, it's really cold out there for you.
Either way, an air conditioning unit does the trick. It also utilizes a lot less energy than those ineffective old-fashioned devices. But in order to ensure that your air-conditioning units remain sustainable and in good working order, regular maintenance and subsequent air conditioning repair glendale work could or should be the order of the day. Air conditioning units are complex devices and should never be tampered with.
It has also been said that you should not even be changing or replacing the filters yourself. To ensure that your units remain in good working order and last a lot longer than it would have otherwise, all you really need to do is dial up the air conditioning technician and he'll come over and do the necessary filter replacement work himself. And some don't always need replacing, but they do need to be cleaned. And that's work that only he can do.

Retired piano tuner and repairer Phil Passmore was elected president of Port Macquarie City Lions Club in June this year – a half-century after the town's first Lions club was founded. He's been a member of Lions for 28 years.
Lions is the world's biggest service organisation: some 41,000 clubs in 180 countries. It began in the US 92 years ago; its international motto is: We Serve. At the first convention the keynote speaker was blind author Helen Keller and ever since then the blind have been one of the main sectors of society Lions raise funds for. The first Australian club was formed 62 years ago at Lismore. Port Macquarie Lions Club was founded in June 1959, so Lions have just celebrated 50 years of service to this community. The original Port Macquarie club chartered a second club, Port Macquarie City Lions, in 1981. They chartered a third local club, Tacking Point Port Macquarie, in 1997. The three clubs have a membership of 70, 18 of them women; some are husband-and-wife members. Our Lions district runs from Old Bar in the south to Yamba in the north and inland out to Moree, encompassing 64 Lions clubs, three Lioness clubs and four Leo clubs. Lioness clubs are for women only and Leo clubs for people from early teens to 24. Our district governor is from Port: Christine Woolnough, of Tacking Point club, is the second woman to be a governor of our district.
The three Lions clubs in Port Macquarie carry out a variety of activities. Most of our efforts help the local community and some funds we raise go to supporting Lions foundations. The ALF, Australian Lions Foundation, helps citizens in time of natural disasters such as floods and bushfires. Similarly the Lions Clubs International Foundation helps people around the world suffering in such disasters; it contributed to Victorian bushfire victims earlier this year. Lions' Save Sight Campaign has raised $4.5 million to help the blind around the world and the 428 NSW Lions clubs are major supporters of the Eye Bank at Sydney Eye Hospital. Locally, Tacking Point has built a children's garden at Tacking Point Primary and helped renovate the children's ward at the Hospital, with assistance of ANZ Bank and the hospital. Port Macquarie Club ran the Macquarie Art Award which over the years raised $180,000, a terrific effort. Port City provided a rubber ducky for Sea Rescue and hearing systems for two schools that have students with hearing difficulties. The three clubs carry out a lot of catering for various events – Ironman, dog and car shows and more; over the years we've raised $100,000-plus from our catering activities.
Other things we do include providing technical aid for the disabled: this involves adapting tricycles for use by children who've intellectual or physical disabilities. Then there's Lions Hearing Dogs, Driver Reviver, Lions Christmas Cakes, Lions Mints, Lions Park, programs like Kids to the Inland and Youth of the Year, the Easter Duck Race … Most of the projects are ongoing fixtures like these, with the odd new one from time to time – for example, our car boot sale last month. The work we do isn't hard, and it's enjoyable. Members attend two dinner meetings a month and clubs hold social events during the year. One or two are combined club events that bring together members and their partners from the three clubs. We get a lot of pleasure from social mingling and from mingling with those we're able to help, both individuals and groups. We go on bus outings and hold barbecues. Over time the extent of our hands-on work's declined partly because we're restricted by OH&S regulations. But the donations from our fund-raising efforts still go to a wide range of local recipients: Salvos, Sea Rescue, lifesavers, schools, hospital, Cancer Council, Scouts, Flying Doctor, Wheels Under Kids, and individuals.
It's hard to attract young people now to join Lions: families lead very busy lives from day to day and like to spend any spare time they have within the family. But our clubs always welcome inquiries about joining and we'll make any prospective members feel at home. Anyone interested can call me on 6584 2833 or Geoff Humby on 6583 7305. There are moves afoot to start a club in the Bonny Hills-Lake Cathie area; anyone interested in that area should get in touch. The costs involved in Lions aren't great: our annual dues are $80, plus two dinners a month. Some clubs charge a joining fee to cover new member's kit and name badge. Each of the three Port Lions clubs has hosted a district convention, bringing 200 to 300 visitors to town. We hope one day to host a multiple district convention here.

No,u are not.Your ISP still knows which website u are visiting & from where.These features only don't store temporary file or simply saying delete ur history.Hence u are not really anonymous.
The solution to this?U can use these.They are truly anonymous!!!

I find that claiming that filters are there to keep schoolkids learning rather than goofing off, and then going ahead and blocking a primary means of research such as google search, is hypocritical and even dangerous. Thanks to sites like this one however, you can fight back and access the web the way it was meant to be accessed.

Our History
Established in 1979, Guided Discoveries was the natural outgrowth of Ross and Kristi Turner's experience as schoolteachers taking students on science-related field trips. During these excursions, they began to realize the power of a fun and immersive science-based program. Ross and Kristi, along with long-time friends Steve Garrett (Board Chairperson) and Jerry Tambe incorporated Guided Discoveries Inc. as a 501(c)(3) non-profit leading what would later become Catalina Island Marine Institute or CIMI (pronounced 'see-me'). Then in 1979, we began our first summer camp program Catalina Sea Camp. Guided Discoveries has continued to grow and prosper. Camp Motorsport was acquired in November 2015 and AstroCamp Virginia and Camp Motorsport began our summer camp program in 2016.
The Guided Discoveries' vision continues to expand as it considers other exciting opportunities to make a positive difference in the lives of children.
Meet Our Directors:
As an educational entrepreneur, Ross is dedicated to creating unique and fun educational programs for children. Ross is the Co-founder, President and CEO for Guided Discoveries and its family of programs.
A graduate of Brigham Young University, Ross taught high school biology and coached football. It was his experience as a teacher and coach that led to the idea Guided Discoveries. In 1976 he and his wife, Kristi, and a small group of friends, founded Guided Discoveries.
Ross is a well respected national leader in the camp professional community. He is the past president of the Western Association of Independent Camps and the current Board Chair of the National Board of Directors of the American Camp Association.
Together, Ross and Kristi have worked tirelessly for the development and operation of the organization they founded and the children they have served.
Andy began working at Guided Discoveries in 1998 as a Marine Science Instructor at Fourth of July Cove on Catalina Island.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology/Ecology and minor in Marine Science from Pennsylvania State University. In addition, Andy has a Master's Degree in Marine Biology.
Charles Bueche joined Guided Discoveries in 2009 and has served as a Marine Science Instructor and Aquarist, Assistant Program Director of Logistics, Summer Camp Director for Camp Fox YMCA Programs and Program Director at Cherry Cove and Fox Landing.
He is responsible for the safety of all students and teachers, and is charged with the hiring, training and managing the staff.
Charles worked at the Biological Field Station in Cooperstown, N.Y., during college. With a bachelor's degree in biology from SUNY Geneseo, Charles applied for a job at CIMI with the plan to stay for two years, but, he says, little did he know about the magical draw of the island.
Charles also is a NAUI-certified rescue diver and Red Cross Lifeguard instructor.
Andy began working at Guided Discoveries in 1998 as a Marine Science Instructor at Fourth of July Cove on Catalina Island.

Handbook of Chinese Migration
Identity and Wellbeing
Edited by Iredale R. Robyn and Guo Fei
The recent unprecedented scale of Chinese migration has had far-reaching consequences. Within China, many villages have been drained of their young and most able workers, cities have been swamped by the 'floating population', and many rural migrants have been unable to integrate into urban society. Internationally, the Chinese have become increasingly more mobile. This Handbook provides a unique collection of new and original research on internal and international Chinese migration and its effects on the sense of belonging of migrants.

Snapchat's Gender-Swap and Baby Filters Doubled App Downloads (5 minute read)
Snapchat has recently released two sets of filters, one that makes users look like toddlers, and one that makes users appear as members of the opposite sex. The release of the filters resulted in an estimated 41.5 million downloads for the app worldwide in May, more than twice the amount of downloads that Snapchat received in the previous month. It is unclear how many of these downloads are new users rather than just returning old users. Snapchat has been struggling to retain its user base for several years, and it appears that the new filters have attracted more long-term users. Stock prices have risen significantly for Snapchat since its 2017 redesign disaster.
Facebook will pay you to let it track what you do on your phone (1 minute read)
Facebook has launched a new app called Study that will allow it to monitor users' phone use. The app will monitor which apps are installed in a user's phone, the time spent using these apps, what the apps are being used for, the country the user is in, and more. It won't be able to monitor private data such as passwords, messages, or browser history. Facebook has recently been accused of monitoring user data unethically through its Facebook Research app that was targeted at teens, which was shut down in January. The launch of Study shows the importance of the data that Facebook was obtaining through the Research app, and that they are trying to find more ethical ways of collecting that data. Facebook Study will financially compensate users for providing the data, but there have been no announcements about how much users will get paid for using the app.

A Russian scientist has threatened to make more CRISPR babies (1 minute read)
Russian scientist Denis Rebrikov has said in an interview that he is trying to gain approval to create gene-edited babies. He wants to create humans with natural resistance to HIV. Last year, an experiment in China attempted to create humans with genetic resistance to HIV by removing the CCR5 gene. While the CCR5 gene has been associated with HIV resistance, studies have also shown that the gene also moderates cognition and life span. Rebrikov is not known for his work on gene editing, and his name only appears on one paper where gene editing was applied to embryos. The rules for creating gene-modified babies in Russia are unclear, and Rebrikov hopes to take advantage of this to gain approval to carry out the procedure. He believes that he can improve on the experiments carried out in China.
'A more humane country': Canada to ban keeping whales, dolphins in captivity (4 minute read)
The House of Commons in Canada has voted to ban keeping whales, dolphins, and porpoises in captivity. Parks who already own animals will be allowed to keep them, but obtaining new cetaceans or breeding them will now result in a fine of up to $200,000. The law also bans exporting animals or using them for entertainment. Marineland, an amusement park and zoo who looks after around 61 cetaceans, had strongly opposed the bill as they claimed that the animals were their main attraction. Cetaceans may be kept in captivity if they are receiving care or rehabilitation after an injury, or for scientific research.

Mary Meeker's most important trends on the internet (3 minute read)
Mary Meeker, a general partner at venture capital firm Bond Capital, has released a 333-page slideshow that delves into every important internet trend in the last year. The report revealed that 51 percent of people in the world were internet users last year, up from 49 percent in 2017. Seven out of the top 10 companies in the world are now tech companies, and e-commerce represents 15 percent of all retail sales. Ad spending has increased, and customer acquisition costs have also increased. Americans are spending more time on digital media than ever before, with an average of 6.3 hours per day in 2018. Privacy is becoming a larger selling point for many companies, and 87 percent of global web traffic now being encrypted. The full 333-page slideshow is available at the end of the article.
The World Is a Mess. We Need Fully Automated Luxury Communism (4 minute read)
Lab-grown food is starting to become a reality, but at the moment, it is far too expensive. The first 'cultured beef' burgers are set to hit the market next year at $50 each. While lab-grown food uses fewer resources, produces negligible greenhouse gasses, and doesn't require animals to die, companies that own these technologies charge for their products. With automation technology taking away manual labor jobs, people are able to afford less and may miss out on being able to purchase goods such as lab-grown food. The article argues that in order for society to progress, companies should aim to better the worldwide community rather than only seeking profits.

- Insects: Six legs, three body parts and one pair antennae.
- Arachnids: Eight legs, two body parts, no antennae.
- Millipedes: Many segments, one pair antennae, two short pairs of legs per apparent segment, harmless scavengers.
- Centipedes: Many segments, one pair antennae, one pair of long legs per segment, venomous predator
- Crustaceans: 10 to 14 legs, two pair antennae, mainly aquatic (lobsters, crabs, shrimp, etc.). Terrestrial species include Rollie-polies and Sowbugs.
Masses of Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches
Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches, as the name states, come from Madagascar (a large island east of Africa) and they hiss. Insects breathe through pores in the side of the abdomen called "spiracles". When the Hissing Cockroach is disturbed, it forcefully expels air out of these spiracles, creating a very audible hissing sound. Cockroaches, believe it or not, actually have an important function in nature. They are scavengers, feeding on all kinds of decaying matter. Scavengers help "clean up" the environment. There are over 4,000 species (different kinds) of cockroaches. Most live outdoors and are beneficial to the environment. Very few species ever go into homes and become pests. Those that do reside with humans have given all cockroaches a "bad name".
Vinnie – Vinegaroon or Whipscorpion
Vinegaroons, (sometimes spelled Vinegarone), also known as Whipscorpions are a very interesting and harmless arachnid belonging to the order Uropygi. They have no venom and do not sting or bite. Whipscorpions are so named because of a long whip-like tail which is used as a sensory device. The name "Vinegaroon" comes from the fact that their primary defense against an attack from predators is a vinegar scented spray of acetic acid that they shoot from a pair of glands located under their tail.
Being an Arachnid, they have 8 legs, the first pair of legs are very long and flexible and are used as feelers (Arachnids do not have antennae). The last three pairs of legs are used for walking. Vinegaroons have enlarged, powerful pincer-like pedipalps ("pinchers") that they use to catch and crush small insects which they eat. They could possibly "pinch" a human finger with these, but in my many years' experience with these animals, I've never seen this happen.
There are about 130 species of Uropigids worldwide, but we have only one species of Whipscorpion found in the United States. That one happens to be the largest species of them all, the Mastigoproctus giganteus which can measure up to six inches from the tip of the tail to the pedipalps.
Stinker – Darkling Beetle
Darkling Beetles, sometimes also called "Stink Beetles " or "Stink Bugs", are a common beetle in the same family as the "mealworm". They are frequently seen in a well-known pose: head down, rear end pointing up. When seen in this position, the knowledgeable person will "let him be" for fear of retaliation. . .a whiff of something foul. They can emit a pretty "icky-smelling", but harmless substance for self defense. Darkling Beetles are harmless scavengers.
Zigfried – Centipede
Centipedes prefer moist places such as under rocks, fallen leaves, rotting logs, etc. The word "centipede" means "hundred feet". They don't really have a hundred legs, centipedes have one pair of legs per body segment, and, as you can see, have many segments. The first pair of legs on a centipede wrap towards the front of the head to form poison claws. Centipedes are venomous, and a large centipede could inflict a pretty painful, though not fatal, bite. The last pair of legs on a centipede are very long and can sometimes "pinch". These longer legs also serve as a means of defense to confuse a predator. Can you guess which end is the head?
Millie and Vanillie – Millipedes
Millipedes are harmless scavengers commonly found in cool, moist places such as under rocks, fallen leaves, rotten logs, etc. The word "millipede" literally means "thousand feet". They don't really have a thousand legs, but they do have a lot! Their cylindrical bodies are made up of 25 to 100 somites (segments), most of which having two pairs of legs on each (with the exception of the first four somites which have one pair). Different kinds of millipedes have a different amount of legs, some kinds of millipedes have only 3 or so pairs of legs when they hatch and add more as they grow. Millipedes have some interesting means of self-defense: they coil into a spiral when threatened and can secrete a noxious, foul-smelling substance (hydrogen cyanide) through their pores. Not all millipedes get as large as these, they are Giant Millipedes from Africa.
Napoleon (pictured) and Nero – Emperor Scorpions
Emperor Scorpions come from Africa and are among the largest scorpions in the world. All scorpions are venomous, but the venom of the Emperor Scorpion is very mild and not harmful to humans. They have very large pincers ("claws") which are capable of giving a pretty painful pinch, though!
Sting – Desert Hairy Scorpion
The Desert Hairy Scorpion is found in the Sonoran Desert. They have a painful sting, but the venom is not fatal to humans.
Rosie – Chilean Rosehair Tarantula
As the name implies, the Rosehair Tarantula comes from Chile. They are fairly docile and rarely bite. Should they bite, though, their venom is not fatal to humans. It is only strong enough to kill small insects (their primary diet).
Penelope – Bird-eating Tarantula
The Bird-eating Tarantulas come mainly from South America. Penelope is know as a "Lesser Black" Bird-eater which originates in Columbia and Peru. No, I don't feed her birds! She gets fed crickets, mealworms (the super large size) and other invertebrates.
Gulf Fritillary Butterfly and Passion Flower
Gulf Fritillary caterpillars only feed on the leaves (and sometimes flowers) of the passion vine and will eat nothing else. This is called being "host specific". Other examples are the anise swallowtail butterfly catterpillar which only feeds on fennel and other parsley family leaves and the cabbage white which only feeds on leaves of the mustard and cabbage family.

Until The End
Crazyanthony11 posted a topic in Indie SceneUntil The End A game designed by me, Anthony Liparulo. Until The End is a top-down shooter, where during the day you explore the world for supplies, then use those supplies (like walls, tar, and ammo) to defend yourself against the monsters that come out at night. It will not be a simple task, these monsters killed EVERYONE besides you, whether from luck or skill it doesn't matter, all that matters now is to survive and find the secrets that lay deeper and darker than the night. The game was made by me, Anthony Liparulo. I coded, animated, modeled, and everything in between besides the soundtrack which has a 7 song original soundtrack. Right now you can get the Beta at the end of November by backing us on Kickstarter. It is on Kickstarter because I am just started out and would like to make the best possible video game to show off what I can do, and that doesn't come cheap. Other rewards can be obtained through the Kickstarter. Until The End comes with 3 maps, original soundtrack, dozens of secrets, a Level Editor, and a day-night system. Support me and the game through Kickstarter while also obtaining a fun, fast paced, zombie-shooter. Have a great day and thank you very much! Check out the Kickstarter here

|Revisiting the Concept of HTR Wallpaper Fuel
|MARMIER ALAIN; FUETTERER MICHAEL; TUCEK KAMIL; DE HAAS Johannes; KUIJPER Jim; KLOOSTERMAN Jan Leen
|Proceedings of the 4th International Topical Meeting on High Temperature Reactor Technology, ISBN: 978079183834 p. HTR2008-58114 (1-9)
|Publication Year:
|Articles in periodicals and books
|Good safety characteristics are an outstanding feature of High Temperature Reactors (HTR): ¿ The high graphite inventory in the core provides significant thermal inertia. Graphite also has a high thermal conductivity, which facilitates the transfer of heat to the reflector, and it can withstand high temperatures. ¿ The strongly negative Doppler coefficient gives a negative feedback, such that the reactor shuts down by itself in overpower accidental conditions. ¿ The high quality of fuel elements ¿ tri-isotropic (TRISO) coated particles ¿ minimizes operational and accidental fission gas release. The materials selected have resistance to high temperatures. ¿ The low power density enables stabilization of core temperature significantly below the maximum allowable, even in case of severe accidents (such as loss-of-coolant accident). Together, these aspects significantly reduce the risk of massive fission product release, which is one of the attractive features of HTRs. The fuel that is currently used in pebble bed reactors such as AVR, HTR-10 and soon PBMR is based on a homogeneous distribution of coated particles within a fuel pebble. This homogenizes power density in the pebble, but creates a radial temperature gradient across the fuel sphere. Fuel particles placed at its centre has the highest temperature. Reducing the average temperature of particles would help preserve their integrity and maintain the resistance of the first barrier against fission product release. As early as the 1970s, attempts were made to reduce the peak fuel temperature by means of so-called ¿wallpaper fuel¿, in which the fuel is arranged in a spherical shell within a pebble. At that time, the production process was not sufficiently mature and had caused unacceptable damage to the (less performing) BISO particles, which is why this fundamentally promising concept was abandoned. In this paper, proposals will be put forward to improve the production process. This paper further exploits the wallpaper concept, not only from the point of view of temperature reduction, but also for enhanced neutronic performance through improved neutron economy, resulting in reduced fissile material and/or enrichment needs or providing the potential to achieve higher burn-up. Parameters modified were the density of the central fuel-free graphite zone and the packing fraction of the fuel zone. It is demonstrated that this fuel type impacts positively on the fuel cycle, reduces production of minor actinides (MA) and improves the safety-relevant parameters of the reactor. A comparison of these characteristics with PBMR-type fuel is presented. The calculations were performed using Monte Carlo neutron transport and depletion codes MCNP/MCB and the deterministic code WIMS. By comparison with PBMR fuel, the ¿wallpaper design¿ of the fuel pebble results in an effective neutron multiplication coefficient increase (by about 2%), which is combined with a decrease of between 3 and 15% in MA production. An improved neutron economy of the heterogeneous design enables enrichment of the ¿wallpaper type¿ of fuel to be reduced by more than 6%.

BOONE—Nina G. Jablonski will speak on "The Evolution and Meanings of Human Skin Color" March 17 at Appalachian State University. Jablonski is guest speaker at the 6th Annual Dean's Advisory Council Interdisciplinary Lecture hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences. Her presentation begins at 7 p.m. in room 114 Belk Library and Information Commons.
A reception and book sales and signing will follow the lecture. Admission is free and the public is invited.
Jablonski is the Evan Pugh Professor of Anthropology at The Pennsylvania State University. For the last 25 years, she has pursued questions in human evolution not directly answered by the fossil record, foremost among these being the evolution of human skin and skin pigmentation.
From a primary interest in the evolution of skin pigmentation phenotypes, Jablonski has pursued issues surrounding the health and social implications of skin pigmentation.
In addition to her scholarly articles on skin, Jablonski has written two popular books, "Skin: A Natural History" (2006) and "Living Color: The Biological and Social Meaning of Skin Color" (2012), both published by University of California Press.
Jablonski received her B.A. in biology at Bryn Mawr College and her Ph.D. in anthropology at the University of Washington. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, an elected Member of the American Philosophical Society, and a member of the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences of the U.S. National Research Council.
She is the recipient of an Alphonse Fletcher Sr. Fellowship (2005), a Guggenheim Fellowship (2012) and an honorary doctorate from University of Stellenbosch in South Africa (2010) for her contribution to the worldwide fight against racism.
Jablonski divides her time between basic research and educational projects. She is the lead investigator on a pilot project examining the factors that affect vitamin D status in healthy youth in the Western Cape of South Africa. She is the convener of a five-year research and education initiative, "The Effects of Race," based at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (SIAS) in South Africa, and, in conjunction with Henry Louis Gates Jr., is leading work on a new "genetics and genealogy" curriculum for middle- and high school students and university undergraduates in the U.S.

19 June 2018
Commenting on the transport select committee's inquiry yesterday (Mon 18 June) questioning Northern Rail, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) and Network Rail, Manuel Cortes said:
"A responsible general takes responsibility for what happens on his watch. Grayling is not of that mould. He has blamed unions, then industry bosses, anybody but himself.
"But on his watch our rail network has simply fallen apart. He is to blame for ignoring all advice coming to him from his field marshals and for reversing essential and scheduled investment decisions.
"Grayling is the worst Transport Secretary in history. He is entirely responsible for the biggest disaster to befall our railways in peacetime history. Trains aren't running, passengers are stranded and the economy is taking a hit.
"The privatisation model has all and truly gone for bust - the bust of our railways. Grayling day of reckoning is nigh. Good for Labour for holding him to account in parliament tomorrow. But May must boot this man out of our railways, out of office, out of cabinet and out of her wobbling government."

The sheriff of a California county with an outsized number of police shootings once said that it was "better financially" to kill suspects than wound them. Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood was looking for an endorsement in 2006 when he posed the question, "When a deputy shoots somebody, which way is better financially? To cripple them or kill them for the county?" "Kill them?" someone off camera asks before Youngblood answers "Absolutely." "Because if you cripple them you have to take care of them for life and that cost goes way up," he said. NYPD cops killing black man shows little change since MLK's death The damning video was released Monday by the Kern County Detention Officers Association, one of three officers' unions that had endorsed Youngblood's upcoming election opponent and chief deputy Justin Fleeman. Officers said that the county force, once labeled "America's deadliest police," was "in desperate need of positive changes."
Sheriff responds to controversial comments in old video published by political opposition
The Guardian profiled the county after 13 people were killed by police in 2015. The county had less than 900,000 residents at the time, but more fatal shootings than New York, which had nine the same year. Monday's video, reportedly taken during an endorsement consideration interview, also saw Youngblood turn the loss of life at the hands of the police into a matter of dollars and cents. "When a guy makes a bad shot on somebody and kills them, $3 million dollars and the family goes away," he said, comparing it to a jailhouse beating where many officers are present. Youngblood then went on to compare the costs of killing someone versus wounding. The sheriff told Bakersfield.com after the video release that his words were taken out of context and that he "never inferred that we should shoot to kill." He added that he wishes he had used different words.
