Skip to comments.MUSLIM WORLD: Young European man explains why he converted to Islam (Marxist turns to Islam)
Posted on 11/01/2010 3:21:39 PM PDT by Steve Van Doorn
Why would a left-leaning young man from one of the world's most secular and liberal countries choose to become a pious Muslim?
The 34-year old Swedish music teacher from Stockholm, who asked that his last name not be published, attempted to explain his decision, describing it as the culmination of a long journey searching for faith and him solidifying his religious beliefs that he couldnt always place.
Whats the appeal? In part, Malcolm said, Islam fits in well with his left-wing views. In that sense, Islam fits me really well, he said. I am completely against capitalism.

Why would a left-leaning young man from one of the world's most secular and liberal countries choose to become a pious Muslim?Stupid f*ing liberals still haven't figured it out.
BECAUSE THEY BOTH (the left & the muzzies) HATE FREEDOM!!!!
islam and communism have alot in common.
both are extremely totalitarian and coercive whereas Christianity won`t coerce anyone.
Whats not to love?
In part, Malcolm said, Islam fits in well with his left-wing views. "In that sense, Islam fits me really well," he said. "I am completely against capitalism."Capitalism = Freedom
This does not surprise me in the least. The logical progression is: Liberal => Secular Leftist => Atheist Marxist => Islamic Marxist. Atheisism just creates a void that Islam is waiting to fill.
If your goal in life is to exert control over the lives of others, Islam gets you there a lot faster than Marxism.
Perfect illustration of Chesterton's epigram, that he who stands for nothing will fall for anything.
Marxist turns to Islam, wow. Next thing you will know a pig will turn into a hog.
Yep. Both Islam and the left are essentially anarchist in their immediate social and political agenda. Easy cross over for lefties since all the babbling about "workers," or "justice" was BS from day one.
Modern western civilization has become a bleak spectacle of emptiness bereft of meaning and comfort for the individual, especially in Europe. Conversions such as this do not surprise me. In a battle between Something and Nothing, Something will win even if its as insane as radical Islam.
The left has been undermining the foundations in the west for 100+ years. We now see the terrible legacy of that folly and crime.
Sort of like flying IFR without an attitude indicator or turn and slip needle.
Death spiral soon to follow.
Only fools and Kennedys try this sort of sh*t.
Nazis teamed up with Muslims during WW2.
NEVER see that reported by any LSM source.
Maybe if Muslims keep mailing bombs to Jews here in the U.S. the media coverage will change a bit?
He gets to add abuse of women to his socialist goals.
Good post. Well said.
You can't fix stupid. Of course the Left constantly criticizes Christians for being moralistic and puritanical, but so long as its Islam, then religious and moral sentiments are noble.
Blowing things up.
Hating Jews and Christians.
70 virgins in Land O' Allah
Gee, what's not to like?
Unfortunately the poor fellow hasn't looked behind the curtain and found that he's hitching himself to a wagon that is taking him straight to hell.
Prayers for the lost. Hope they get 'un-lost' before its too late.
That's why the spiritual and political battles so often go hand-in-hand.
This country was founded on the "self-evident truths" that all people are endowed by their Creator with rights that can't be given by any person or government but can only be either rightly protected or wrongly violated. Some of those rights are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
As you've pointed out, both repressive politics and repressive religion are enemies of life (see abortion, eugenics, and death camps on the part of communism, and terrorism and the execution of "infidels" on the part of Islam). They are the enemies of liberty (see communism's "nothing you do makes any difference" outcome, and Islam's forbiddance of everything joyful, as well as the enslavement of women and "infidels"). They are enemies of the pursuit of happiness (an extension of both previous items).
As Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
Neither repressive politics nor repressive religion works, because neither recognizes the fallenness of man or fixes what is broken in man. They both just prescribe band-aids for symptoms.
Evidently sodomizing little boys and abusing women, stoning, chopping off hands or heads is okay with him. Talk about stupid. Well, he'll feel right at home with the rest of the barbarians in the Middle East.
This doofus is a music teacher? Muslims hate music; they do not permit it in their religious services and strict Muslim societies actually don't permit it at all.
I guess he likes the idea of throwing people into gulags or whipping and stoning them.
Then he needs to move to an Islam country and really experience it.
If they are not living in an Islam country; they think nothing will happen. They can scream all they want because they want to be noticed.
A lot of musicians are attracted to Islam look at CatStevens.
Even know Music is equated to pork and alcohol in Islam.
Islam is a very attractive religion to many potential converts. It is simple, easy and there is no real demand for repentance. One can maintain and cherish animosities and pride. Islam is accommodating to the arrogant oppressor - a natural fit for any Marxist who decides maybe there is more than simple physical matter in the universe.
Former British PM Blair's sister in law also converted. This will accelerate.
At least he admitted that being muslim means anti-capitalism.
Totally against capitalism!!
Where does he expect people to get money to pay for HIS services??
"At least he admitted that being muslim means anti-capitalism."
Maybe he doesn't know that Kuwait & Saudi Arabia are Muslim...
Anything that pulls civilization back and beyond the stone age, I guess.
Neither repressive politics nor repressive religion works...It depends on how you define "works". If you mean "allow freedom and liberty to bloom" then you are right, neither works.
But if you mean "able to retain power for decades or centuries" then they both "work".
Communism would still be in power in the Soviet Union if there had been no USA. And in fact, communism hasn't really been defeated, has it?
And Islam can create slave societies that last a thousand years, or more.
So slavery works. It most definitely works. If free people do nothing, slave holders rise up and build slave societies.
Kuwait and Saudi Arabia aren't capitalist societies. Certainly Saudi Arabia isn't. Kuwait I'm not so sure about. I suspect that Kuwait (like Saudi Arabia) allows certain types of business activity and dispenses certain business "freedoms" that the state can easily take away, anytime it wants.
And in both places, what you see as "capitalism" is just huge mountains of oil wealth. Not the same thing. Not by a long shot.
I guess when I say "works" I mean accomplishes what it SAYS is the goal.
It does accomplish its real goal, which is power for the ruling class. When people see it for what it is, sane people reject it, which is why both communism and Islam have to lie in order to get converts; communism lying by claiming not to be a religion, and Islam lying by claiming not to be a political system. In reality they are the same thing: a system whereby one supposedly-benevolent group of people (supposedly secular in communism and supposedly religious in Islam) dominates and controls everybody else by threats and punishment for dissenters.
In reality they are the same thing: a system whereby one supposedly-benevolent group of people (supposedly secular in communism and supposedly religious in Islam) dominates and controls everybody else by threats and punishment for dissenters.Very true.
I certainly don't see Saudis or Kuwaitis sharing the wealth with their imported workforces; what are they?

Sophia Leung Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, I recently attended the annual celebration of Croatia Day hosted by the Canadian Croatian Congress of British Columbia. Every year the local Croatian community hosts this event to foster a better understanding of Croatian history and cultural tradition in our community.
The Croatian community of B.C. is a fine example of the success of Canada's immigration and multicultural policies, that people from wartorn areas of the world can come to Canada and build a better life.
It was my pleasure to attend Croatia Day. I would like to thank the organizers of the event, Mr. Ivan Curman and Mr. Pave Cikes, for their continuing commitment to fostering cultural understanding of Croatia here in Canada.

Massimo Pacetti Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC
Mr. Speaker, on May 18, the Haitians of Montreal, and particularly those in my riding of Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, gathered to celebrate the 200th anniversary of their national flag.
After a parade featuring many cars proudly flying the "Bicolore", several hundred people assembled at La Perle cultural centre to raise their nation's emblem of freedom.
This flag consists of two horizontal bands of equal dimensions, the upper one blue and the lower red, with the arms of the Republic on a white square in the centre. These arms consist of a palmetto or cabbage palm surmounted by a liberty cap, and in the shade of the palms a trophy with the legend: In Union there is Strength.
Wherever Haitians have migrated, this flag always expresses their pride. Congratulations.

Canadian Alliance
Chuck Cadman Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, just the other day a 34 year old Surrey man was charged with two counts for the unusual offence of sexual assault by fraud. It is alleged that he obtained consent for sexual relations from two boys, age 14 and 15 respectively, by lying to them that he was 19 years old. The crown therefore alleges that it was not informed consent.
Published reports indicate that this former minor hockey referee-in-chief and scout leader lied about his age while attending events for gay youths over at least the last four years. He also visited Internet chat rooms.
This could be a precedent setting case and I will be watching it closely.
Meanwhile., the Liberal government, by its stubborn refusal to raise the age of sexual consent to 16 years, condones the adult exploitation of 14 year olds for sex.
On April 23, 2002, Liberal members voted to defeat a Canadian Alliance motion to raise the age of consent from 14 to 16, a move that would help to protect kids from these sexual predators. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Holland College

Nancy Karetak-Lindell Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, eight culinary arts students from Holland College, Charlottetown, P.E.I., will be on their way to represent Canada at the 2004 Culinary Olympics in Germany thanks to Rebecca Hutchings and Kreg Graham, along with their coaches, chefs Hans Anderegg and Richard Braunauer, and their win at the CFCC Knorr national student competition in February.
Six graduates will be joining them. I am pleased to say that Nunavut will be represented by Kelly Clark of Rankin Inlet on this prestigious national team. The others are Tommy Archibald, Gillian Gilfoy, Natalie Fortier, Mark Sheehy, Gerald Sharpe and the team manager, chef Craig Youdale.
I congratulate them all on this honour of representing our country. I know they will be good ambassadors. We thank all their supporters, especially in the preparations for the competition. I wish them all good luck.

Pierre Paquette Joliette, QC
Mr. Speaker, after winning the fourth annual Festival interprovincial de volleyball benjamin, held last April in Joliette, the Libellules team from Thérèse-Martin high school in Joliette, won the Canadian 14 & Under Volleyball Championship in Calgary, May 17 and 18.
Under the leadership of Yvon Turgeon, Mario Blouin, Luce Tessier and Francine Duval, the team finished their perfect nine-game winning streak without losing a single match.
I raise my hat to these Quebec and Canadian champions from Lanaudière: Catherine Laurin, Christine Bourgeois, Emmanuelle Bourgeois, Mélissa Lachapelle, Caroline Mailhot, Jeanne Liard, Sarah Godin Blouin, Christine Champagne, Alexandra Bisson Desrochers, Patricia Champagne, Claudia Bourgeois, Gabrielle Duval Brûlé and Marie-Ève Pelletier-Marion.

Mr. Speaker, it is nice, in these times of frequent bad news, to be able to find a reason to celebrate.
In last Tuesday's sixth annual soccer challenge between pages and MPs, I am pleased to report that MPs prevailed by a score of 5 to 3. As in previous years, the spirit was keen and competitive but also most friendly.
I want to salute and congratulate, in particular, the pages for their enthusiasm and their terrific sportsmanship, which was greatly appreciated.
I send a very special thanks to the member for Sackville—Musquodoboit Valley—Eastern Shore, the creator and inspirational anchor of this annual event.

Myron Thompson Wild Rose, AB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to an individual who has been honoured and befriended by presidents of the United States since Roosevelt. He has been hailed as America's most prized ambassador of goodwill throughout the world and was presented with the Congressional Gold Medal from President Kennedy.
He received an honourary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth in 1998 in recognition of his contribution to the entertainment of the troops. He has received more than 2,000 awards and citations for humanitarian and professional efforts, including 54 honourary doctorates. His unwavering commitment to the morale of servicemen and women is legendary in modern history.
As our world becomes a more dangerous place with a full out war on terrorism and our servicemen increasingly in harm's way, I think back to simpler times when this individual brought a bit of happiness and a slice of home to servicemen all around the world.
On behalf of all Canadians, I would like to wish Mr. Bob Hope a happy 100th birthday and "thanks for the memories".
Michael Nurse

May 29th, 2003 / 2:05 p.m.
Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow Mr. Michael Nurse retires from the federal public service with a career that has spanned five decades. He joined the public service in 1968 as an administrative trainee at Transport Canada and retires as associate deputy minister of Public Works and Government Services. So much for the formal part of the c.v.
I chose to speak about this exemplary gentleman because he embodies what is best about a public service. Canadians want a public service that is efficient, creative, innovative, cost effective, accountable, transparent, flexible, decisive and autonomous. In Mike Nurse, we had all of that. What is more, we had a public servant who remained true to himself, to his employer, and to his oath of office. Mike Nurse always provided the best advice he could, even when those receiving this advice did not want to hear it.
I wish to salute Mr. Nurse, and wish him and his family many wonderful years, but he should not go too far because we may be calling on him again.

Progressive Conservative
Rick Borotsik Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the Progressive Conservative caucus to acknowledge the contributions the right hon. member for Calgary Centre has made to the House and Canadians since being elected leader in 1998.
Canadians recognize the member's dedication to our country and that his commitment to our party has seen us through the many highs and lows of the last five years. His perseverance has held the government accountable. Clearly he is the best statesman the House has seen in the past decade.
It is with some sadness that we see him pass the torch. The torch, however, is being passed to one of several potential bright young Tories with a burning desire to lead a viable alternative to the current incompetent Liberal government. There is wind in our sails as we head to Toronto this weekend to elect a new leader. Our party is running on momentum from our recent byelection victories in Gander—Grand Falls and Perth—Middlesex. The P.C. Party is without a doubt the alternative that Canadians are so desperately seeking.
A new day is dawning for the Progressive Conservative Party as we welcome a new leader with enthusiasm and optimism.

Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Monday we learned that the federal government found $90 million to invest in the Canada History Centre while, according to the president of the Canadian Museums Association, museums need more money to maintain their collections and infrastructures.
It is hard to imagine how the centre will present some of the major events in Canadian history, events that affected peoples and Quebec as a whole. Think about the forced patriation of the Constitution, or the deportation of the Acadians.
Creating this centre without consulting the museum community is all the more cause for concern given that museums are largely underfunded.
Is showcasing chapters of our history that some of us would sooner forget the legacy the Prime Minister intends to leave behind?
Softwood Lumber
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Musquodoboit Valley—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, the Minister for International Trade in his concessionary talks with the United States on softwood lumber is having devastating effects on forestry communities and their workers throughout this country.
We in the NDP agree with Brian Payne of the CEP Union who said that now is the time to involve labour and forest communities throughout the country in the new talks with America when it comes to softwood lumber.
We also, as representatives from Atlantic Canada, support the Maritime Lumber Bureau in maintaining the softwood lumber exemption that we have had since 1986. Laurie Ledwidge of Ledwidge Lumber in Nova Scotia said very clearly:
The maritimes should in no way be tied to any deal the rest of Canada might agree to and if we do not get a separate agreement there is going to be mill closures and loss of jobs in Atlantic Canada.
We cannot tolerate that and we will not stand by if indeed that happens.
Habitat for Humanity

Paddy Torsney Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to congratulate the Women Build Habitat for Humanity Brant project.
This past weekend amazing women from Brant and the surrounding communities gathered to work on the only Habitat for Humanity house to be designed and built by women in Canada, and the fifth Habitat for Humanity house built in Brant.
Local women had the opportunity to learn new skills while they worked to provide an affordable safe home for a local family. Three hundred women volunteers have been involved in this project, as well as 25 men who acted as skills coaches in building workshops.
I know all colleagues in the House celebrate and support the work of Habitat for Humanity and join me in congratulating these incredible volunteers for their initiative to learn new skills, their ability to improve and their support. Our congratulations go out to Habitat Brant.

Canadian Alliance
Ken Epp Elk Island, AB
Mr. Speaker, the people in Sherwood Park, a major residential area in my riding, are extremely upset these days. In the last several months two violent sexual predators have been released into their community. This causes great concern because these individuals have demonstrated no remorse for their violent crimes against women and have shown no desire or intention to not repeat these offences.
I spoke to one lady who lives near one of the offenders and she told me that she is so afraid that she goes out with her husband whenever he leaves the house. She cannot stay alone in her own home in this previously peaceful community. Others tell me that they are now in constant fear for the safety of their children. They must now escort them as they walk to and from school, and cannot leave them out of sight when they are playing outdoors.
I call on the government to change the rules. Offenders who choose not to participate in rehabilitative treatment while incarcerated, and who are judged dangerous and likely to reoffend, must be kept in custody until we are certain that they will not again attack our women and children.
Government of Canada
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Calgary Southwest
Canadian Alliance
Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the acting Prime Minister, and there seems to be a different acting Prime Minister every day, said the government was in the midst of a transition that was seriously affecting its ability to deal with issues like SARS and mad cow.
We have additional serious crises in forestry, agriculture, tourism, and in all kinds of trade relations with the United States. The Prime Minister's contribution is to go around making ill-advised and ill-timed comments that he has been criticized for even by members of his own party and yet he will not back down. We cannot stand nine more months of this lame duck damage.
My question is very simple. Will the Prime Minister consider leaving office early so we can get this transition over with?

Father's Day
Father's Day hasn't always been about picking out a new tie for dad or getting him that new gadget he's been eyeing. It began as one woman's way of honoring her widower father.
Sonora Smart Dodd was raised in Spokane, Washington, by her father, William Jackson Smart, after her mother died during childbirth (with her sixth child!) when Sonora was just 16 years old. This left William, a Civil War veteran, to raise the newborn as well as his five other children - Sonora the only girl - by himself on their rural farm. In Sonora's eyes, William was courageous, selfless, and a loving father who sacrificed everything for his children.
In 1909, when Sonora was 27, she attended a Mother's Day sermon at her church and wondered why there was no such day for fathers. Believing that the nation did not show enough respect to fathers, she began campaigning for a national holiday. She persuaded the Spokane Ministerial Association and local YMCA to pass a resolution in support of Father's Day, and the first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington. Mrs. Dodd wanted Father's Day to be celebrated on June 5th, her father's birthday, but the council selected the third Sunday in June instead.
States and organizations began lobbying Congress to declare an annual Father's Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson came to Spokane and spoke at Father's Day services, but it was not until 1924 that President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to "establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations." In 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the third Sunday of June as Father's Day. In 1972, President Nixon established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday of June each year.
Sonora Smart Dodd was honored for her contribution at the World's Fair in Spokane in 1974. Mrs. Dodd died in 1978 at age 96.
In 1999, Father's Day resulted in approximately $95 million in greeting card sales, becoming the fifth most popular card-sending holiday. Sixty percent of consumers regularly purchase a card to celebrate Dear Old Dad, while 41 percent get him clothing of some sort (bad ties included!), 38 percent buy the ol' guy dinner, 22 percent get him sporting goods, while 18 percent buy home improvement items, 17 percent gift him electronics and 12 percent get him gardening tools.

As it is a city by the sea, it is fitting Sarasota is home to the cutting edge Mote Marine Lab & Aquarium. Established in 1955 by the famed shark researcher Dr. Eugenie Clark (who performed the first conditioning experiments with sharks), Mote has grown to one of the preeminent research facilities of near-shore marine life. Mote was designated a Center for Shark Research by Congress in 1991. The aquarium is home to more than 100 species of marine life, including dolphins, manatees, sea turtles and sharks. They even offer narrated training sessions with the sharks, where the different species of sharks are trained to feed at separate targets, each with a different design.
Sarasota's artistic roots run deep. Be it the art galleries and antique shops around downtown or a live performance, the arts are part of the city's fabric. The Sarasota Opera gives the city its cultural heartbeat. Their season runs from October to March and is a must-see for anyone visiting the area. The Sarasota Ballet of Florida is celebrating its 20th season this year and will be pulling all the stops, making it one of the most memorable seasons yet.
John Ringling was arguably one of the preeminent Sarasotans, leaving a legacy that goes far beyond the physical structures he left behind. With plans of developing Sarasota into a premier resort town, one to rival Palm Beach, John and Mable Ringling helped forge a lasting impression and kindled a cultural spirit that has since come to permeate the city. From circus tents to fine art, the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art pays homage to their lasting legacy. Built to house the Ringlings' personal collection of art, the museum is flush with paintings and sculptures from Old Masters and antiquities from bygone eras. But the museum is not the only attraction of the site. The grounds themselves are quite beautiful. Mable Ringling's Rose Garden takes center stage with 1,200 rose plants perfuming the air, while the Ringling Test Rose Garden (one of 20 in the U.S.) serves as a proving ground before rose hybrids can be patented. The grounds are also home to the Ringlings' breathtaking mansion, Cà d'Zan. Open to visitors, the mansion offers a glimpse of the waning days of the Gilded Age. Each ceiling is a veritable Sistine Chapel of circus acts and circus life. And lest we forget those circus roots, the Circus Museum rekindles those three-ring days of old, when the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus truly was "the greatest show on Earth."
Make sure you pack some comfortable shoes when visiting Sarasota, because hours and miles can be lost making the loop at St. Armands Circle. The 130-plus shops tucked away on St. Armands Key is a great place to take an afternoon stroll. The circle was yet another brainchild of John Ringling, who wanted to develop a residential and shopping center in 1917. Now, nearly a century later, the circus mogul's dream has come true. Boutiques, cafés and restaurants circle a small park, making it the hub of the small island and a fantastic place to come and relax.

There are not that many truly dry-stored fuhai green star, and the high prices reflect the well stored, and relatively dryly stored cakes. Cakes that have stronger storage smells and funk naturally sells for less. EoT sold these cakes for I suppose somewheres between $200-$250. Compare this to Dragon Tea House, wanting $600 for one of their cakes. No clue how dry those cakes are.
Sampletea, for example offered the '99 Changtai Song Charactered for $11.50/10g. That's way below what it retails for--if it was dry stored. Houde sold the dry-stored version of this tea for $16.50/10g back in 2011. Given JakubT's review, the pricing was appropriate, despite that it wasn't dry-stored as per his preferences!
Buying wetter stored cakes can really work out for people who like it that way...cheaper tea because you like it like that! I would though, caution against any out of place *funk*. Funk can be really hard to get rid of. It can get milder and add character to a tea. But if you *hate* the taste, that won't help. Part of the attraction of dry-stored cakes is that you're not at risk of bad storage *in that way*. Of course, you can get other problems!

Chief executive officer of Silicon Graphics International said that his company was working with developers of graphics processing units (GPUs) over integration of graphics chips into its server and high-performance computing platforms. This is one of the first time when leading makers of servers express claim that general purpose computing on GPUs (GPGPU) is the future of computing.
"The GPU is not just for gamers anymore. SGI believes there is an enormous customer benefit to incorporating the GPU into its core platforms for both computational acceleration and for visualization. This is why we are now focusing more R&D investment into advancing GPU products by means of its integration into our core platforms and applying these products to real-world problems," said Mark Barrenechea, chief executive officer of SGI.
GPGPU is already not something new for proprietary applications like oil and gas exploration, medical imaging, financial analysis and other. However, GPGPU still has to reach mainstream market and when a leading maker of servers and high-performance computers promises to incorporate GPUs to accelerate stream computing across the board, it seems that GPGPU technologies are about to enter the mainstream markets.
"Our vision is to provide an end-to-end visual computing solution through our core platform technology and expert services. The building block for our scalable platforms contains GPU as a core component. […] Further, our next generation platform, Ultraviolet, will also support GPUs," said the head of SGI.
Graphics processors are much more efficient than traditional central processing units when it comes to processing of highly-parallel workloads. SGI recently expanded its GPGPU support with the introduction of the CloudRack X2 Workgroup Cluster incorporating "a wider set of options from ATI/AMD and Nvidia Corp. Later on other platforms from SGI will also be equipped with GPUs.
"This is why we are focused on working closely with Nvidia, ATI/AMD and Intel many-core Larrabee, integrating their advanced graphics technology into our core platforms versus writing software to replace the GPU. When speed truly matters, put it in hardware. Shift Happens. And the shift is the GPU," concluded Mr. Barrenechea.

What's the most implausible but true mathematical proposition?
Addendum: According to this paper, even though the Khinchin property is true for almost all real numbers, nobody has explicitly found a number for which it is true! You can artificially construct a number for which it is true but that doesn't give you an explicit result, and anyway, that's cheating. Experimentally, π gives something near the Khinchin constant, but there's no proof of what happens in the limit.

Last week our department was visited by Bob Devaney who gave a seminar in which he said that you can embed any closed curve in the Sierpinkski Carpet, which I found quite amazing.
The theorem was actually a bit more involved, but the gist of it was the bit about embedding closed 1-dimensional manifolds (I should really pay more attention!).
- Thursday, 09 February, 2006

I'm confused. There's only one 1-D manifold and surely it's not hard to embed in a Sierpinski Carpet. I must be missing something.
- Thursday, 09 February, 2006

One *closed* 1-D manifold, at least.

Goodstein Theorem! Its worse than anything I found, including Banach Tarsky.
The theorem seems rather simple, until you understand what a G sequence is. But a few computations of a G sequence show the incredible growth of it. ¿Zero...?
- Friday, 10 February, 2006
- Theo said...
And, at least according to one logician I've spoken with, the result about G sequences _isn't even true_ (or at least not provable) in Peano Arithmetic. The result intimately requires the well-ordering of the countable ordinals.
- Friday, 10 February, 2006
- Kenny said...
Goodstein's Theorem is true alright - at least, as true as anything in second-order arithmetic. But it's definitely not provable in PA. I think it's not even provable in ZC - one needs replacement, possibly to guarantee that there is a set of all countable well-orderings.
- Friday, 10 February, 2006
- David R. MacIver said...
Are you really sure you need replacement? Because, while the argument uses ordinals, you can do a perfectly good job working with ordinals as order types rather than von Neumann ordinals - it's uglier, but it works fine.
I've been trying to ome up with an answer to this question, but I'm totally failing at the moment. I think the problem is that I have a very flexible intuition, so that by the time I've understood something I don't find it implausible any more.
Possibly some stuff about stationary sets - e.g. that you can find an uncountable set of pairwise disjoint stationary subsets of aleph_1. Stationary sets are weird. One probably wouldn't expect to have much intuition about this sort of thing anyway, but it's just very different from what you'd expect from having looked at 'sensible' order topologies.
In a similar style, maybe the well ordering theorem. But then, I find it quite intuitive (after all, there are lots of order types, so you just need to use the axiom of choice to pick new elements to fill up your ordering until you've exhausted the set).
- Saturday, 11 February, 2006
- sigfpe said...
Goodstein's Theorem is one of my favourite counterintuitive results too. I like the version for 'hydra games' which makes it seem even weirder to me.
Actually, the independence of the Axiom of Choice bothers me too. From time to time I can't help thinking about how to construct a function, f, from the power set of the reals to the reals so that f(A) is in A, even though I know I can't construct such an f. It just seems like I ought to be able to if I just try hard enough, damn it!
- Saturday, 11 February, 2006
- Kenny said...
I'm not certain that replacement is needed for Goodstein's theorem - it just sounds plausible to me that it might be.
Somehow mentioning stationary sets reminded me that one can prove in ZFC that an Aronszajn tree exists. This isn't as bad as a Suslin tree, but it's still pretty bad. It's a tree of uncountable height (thus, with uncountably many elements), but each branch is only countable, and each level is only countable. In a Suslin tree, not only is each level of the tree countable, but so is every antichain, which is just totally ridiculous, but consistent with ZFC.
- Wednesday, 15 February, 2006
- Peter Smith said...
Replacement isn't needed for Goodstein's Theorem. Check out my colleague Michael Potter's wonderful book Set Theory and its Philosophy. He proves Goodstein's Theorem on p. 215. (And he doesn't even introduce Replacement until p. 225.)

Just discovered a video of the Jackson, Wyoming, band that accompanies our story on "Flying Yellowstone and the Grand" (April issue). You can see the band here, and see a link to the article here where the band accompanies a slide show. If you take our AOPA Pilot digital edition, there's yet another song near the end of the article by the band, which brings the authentic sound of the West and the Jackson, Wyoming, area to our story. Going there? See if they are performing in the area when you are in Jackson.

Alaska Professional Communicators Display Design Hints
Hint: The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) also provides some excellent information about abstracts and display boards. See the links called "Master the Abstract Writing Process" and "Creating an Effective Project Display" (PowerPoint presentations) at the ISEF site: http://www.societyforscience.org/Page.aspx?pid=282 Find these links about halfway down that page under the "Resources for Students & Teachers" heading.
The following information was supplied by Alaska Professional Communicators:
Display Design Hints
Note that these hints are about the visual design of your display board, not the scientific content of your project.
A good display is important to your project. The purpose of your display is to grab people's interest and tell them the story of your project, all in the short time they may spend looking at it. The display should stress the most important ideas, then provide some detail once interest has been stirred. If the display is hard to read, if it is cluttered with less important details, or if there is no logical way to follow the project from idea to conclusion, people may not make the extra effort to understand what you have done. Here are a few ideas to help you design a good display.
Display Panels
A free-standing display creates an enclosed environment for your project and is ready to go anywhere. It's not hard to make a 3-panel display that is hinged and free-standing.
Some craft and office supply stores sell pre-made project boards. You may prefer to give it the personal touch by making your own board.
Some good panel materials:
Your colors should serve a specific purpose. You might use colors to unite certain aspects of your project that belong together. Colors can also convey or reinforce certain ideas. For example, in a heat exchange experiment, red might convey hot and blue cold. A bright color among pale colors, or against black and white, can make something really stand out. An overall color theme can give focus to your display and make it easier to read and more pleasing to look at. (Including your report cover in your color theme is a nice touch, too!)
Too many colors, or colors that don't go together, will detract from your display. For example, a yellow background with a red border and blue and green type could be garish and hard to read; the blue and green might be too much alike to tell apart easily, and the red and yellow might be too bright for their purpose. Be stingy with your colors; save them for when they are most needed!
A good layout has balance. Pictures don't have to be the same size or look the same; in fact, that might be boring! Placement is what matters. One large photo or picture can be balanced with two or three small ones. A good picture can be worth 1,000 words, so think about the photos or illustrations you will use to summarize the various aspects of your project.
Lettering/Font/Headlines/Body Text
The attention-getting headlines should be readable from way down the aisle. The subheads should be readable from across the aisle, and the body text by someone standing next to your display.
Headlines and subheads can be colorful and artistic, as long as they remain clearly readable. Plain headlines and subheads are also very nice, because they look neat and orderly. With headlines and subheads, use your own good judgment (and keep it readable!).
Body text, labels, and captions have more rules. Text in these areas tends to be smaller, so you have to keep it simpler to make it readable. Do not use "fancy" font styles. Text in script, all capitals, or ornate styles can be difficult to read. Avoid patterned printer paper or graphic backdrops directly under text. Do not use white text on a black background. Make the text big enough for a person with average eyesight to see from an arm's length away. The best combination is plain black text on white paper!
Always keep in mind the main goal of your text, which is to easily communicate the subject and details of your project to the reader.

Topic: many to many association not working, keeps throwing no method errors
Hi, this is my first post. I am a rails and programming newbie... but I'm been reading constantly trying to get over this very very steep double learning curve... Agile Development, Ruby for Rails, Up and Running, Rails Recipes....
I am trying to do something that should be very simple but no matter how I do it, rails refuses to accept the association.
I have a many to many association between articles and groups. Groups is just a word I'm using for the concept of "category".
class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :groups
class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :articles
I want my navigation buttons essentially just to filter all articles by the 'group' param sent by the view, if there is a group, or else return all articles.
Here are 3 coding attempts I've tried in my articles_controller:
Code Attempt #1
def list
@group_id = params['group']
if @group_id
a = Group.find (:all, :conditions => id = @group_id)
@articles = a.groups
@articles = Article.find (:all)
Code Attempt #2
def list
group_id = params[:group]
if group_id
@articles = Article.groups.find_all_by_group_id(:group)
@articles = Article.find (:all)
Code Attempt #3
def list
if params[:group]
@articles = @group.articles || throw rescue Article.find (:all)
The errors that follow are annoying because they are being thrown on things that I shouldn't have to define, right? because they exist and should be accessible as a part of the model?
undefined local variable or method `article' for #<ArticlesController:0x249bd34>
or... I get a NoMethodError --- undefined method `groups' for #<Array:0x24c1ebc> on the first bit of code that I have above (on line 5)
or... undefined method `find_all_by_group_id' for Article:Class when I use code attempt #2
or... Couldn't find Group without an ID, using code attempt #3
This is making me despair!!!
Please help.
This is the view that passes the parameter, by the way:

<%= link_to 'Students', :action => 'list', :group => 1 %>

<%= link_to 'Fellows/Scholars', :action => 'list', :group => 2 %>

<%= link_to 'Faculty', :action => 'list', :group => 3 %>

<%= link_to 'Staff', :action => 'list', :group => 4 %>

<%= link_to 'Community', :action => 'list', :group => 5 %>

<%= link_to 'Alumnae', :action => 'list', :group => 6 %>

I seem to be able to create articles and to populate the article_group table with selected groups in the edit arena.
I just can't make the thing show articles by group....

By purchasing any of the following drinks that night, a portion of the sales will go towards Andy's medical bills.

Topic: Collection_Select - Jquery
I'm using Rails 3.1 and I have a collection_select dropdown box that displays a client name:
<%= collection_select(:user_client, :client_id, UserClient.order('client_id'), :client_id, :client_name, {:selected => current_client.client_id},{} ) %>
What I need to happen with I'm assuming Jquery is when the combo box is changed I need whatever client is selected to update a table in my database (user_clients) that this is now the default client. I'm new to Jquery and stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

Downstate program supports families, educational process
A program developed by a downstate school district and profiled on page 5A of Friday's Mining Journal seems like an outstanding way to provide support to teenagers, and by extension families, in crisis because of pregnancy and the many complications that arise because of it.
It's called STEP – Students in Transition Empowerment Program – and it was developed by the Traverse City High School. In part, it allows students with children to remain in high school while providing support for the little ones during school hours. The program accepts and confirms what many educators know to be true, that once a student drops out of high school, the number of good quality alternatives for a viable future significantly diminish.
One key consideration was simply insuring the student is able to get to school every day. That means arrangements must be made through the local public transit system. Once there, the Traverse City High School has a daycare facility set up, making it convenient for parent and child to get together for occasional feedings during the day.
Further, the STEP initiative assists in housing placements and follow up work. More than 500 students from that region of the state have been helped in the past year.
Why are students in transition? According to the district's own information, the top three are: financial problems, 44.3 percent; abuse and/or neglect, 21.7 percent; and loss of home due to foreclosure and/or eviction, 18.3 percent. Other reasons include, but are not limited to, parental addiction/mental health issues, parental abandonment and substance abuse.
Financial support comes from a variety of local and regional sources. Some 58 donors – from individuals to service clubs to businesses to government agencies – are listed on the school's website. Another 17 collaborative community partners are also cited.
The reasons we like this program are easy to see. Students and children are supported in a number of important ways with the overall goal of keeping the student in school, thereby assisting them in preparing for the future. In addition to transportation to and from school, other services include free- or low-cost school supplies, tutoring and other academic support, clothing, personal hygiene products, assistance in obtaining a driver's license and referrals for mental health services and/or housing.
Work programs, job training and post-secondary education counseling are also a part of the possibilities.
We congratulate the Traverse City High School for conceiving of a program that was certainly needed and then putting it into operation. School districts everywhere, including those right here in Superiorland, could learn something from their work.

USAV Beach High Performance Championships Results/Schedules
HERMOSA BEACH, Calif. (July 17, 2013) – Jane Chafeh's beach volleyball journey hasn't been easy. Though it has led her to the 2013 USA Volleyball Beach High Performance Championships (Beach HPC) in Hermosa Beach, Calif., it almost never even began.
Chafeh (Fontana, Calif.) began her volleyball career as an indoor player when she was in the seventh grade, following in her older sister's footsteps. The two shared a court in high school, playing for the same team.
"We pretty much took over the court. We would always fight and it was just horrible!" Chafeh said, laughing. "Every time we were on the court you could hear us yelling at each other."
| Jane Chafeh serves as she and partner Bree Moreland compete in
their third match of the first day of Beach HPC.
Though Chafeh and her four sisters all play volleyball, her parents are recent immigrants from Cameroon and knew nothing about the sport.
"They were like, 'what are you guys doing? Just go to school. You don't need anything else,' " Chafeh said.
But Chafeh fell in love with the sport, going on to play NCAA Division II volleyball for Cal State San Bernardino. It was around this time that she began making the switch to the beach and found even more resistance from her college coach.
"My coach didn't know anything about beach," Chafeh said. "She didn't want me to be out here. The first year I was [doing beach], they wanted me to train at Chula Vista, but it was during my double days for indoor, and she was like, 'Um, you must be joking. You're not missing indoor for beach.' "
Chafeh began competing in the U17 bracket and, despite not being able to focus on beach volleyball, represented the United States at the 2011 World University Games in Shenzen, China. She and partner Geena Urango finished 17th, but Chafeh loved the experience. The duo played its first match inside the main stadium, stayed in university dorms with teams from all over the world and got to sightsee and watch other sports.
"It was definitely a different culture," Chafeh said. "We went to the market area and they were like, 'USA! USA!' because that's what they knew.
"Right now I'm still here because obviously I want to go back and do it again. I have the experience now so I want to grow. I'm done with school and I can kind of commit a little bit more to this."
Outside of volleyball, Chafeh has a college degree in exercise science and intends to go back to school for a master's degree in a related field.
"I'll probably do that in the next year or two because I'm planning to go overseas to Israel and play [indoor] there," Chafeh said.
But she can't yet remember what her team is called or what city she'll be living in; she's still trying to get a handle on Hebrew letters and pronunciation.
In the meantime, Chafeh is up against heavy odds at Beach HPC. She and partner Bree Moreland met the night before the tournament began after only knowing each other through seeing each other practice.
"It kind of worked out because I'm a blocker and she's a defender," Chafeh said. "We're learning each other today. We lost one in three and won our second one in two, so I think it's progressing."
Chafeh and Moreland went on to win their third match of the day, a three-set battle.
But to an athlete who leaves her house at 6 a.m. and spends nearly two hours sitting in Los Angeles traffic just to get to practice every morning, battling is nothing new.

The 5 Dumbest Things on Wall Street: The All-HP Edition
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Happy Thanksgiving Dumbest fans! Hopefully you enjoyed a fantastic Turkey Day filled with friends and family, and are now working off all that bird by battling the Black Friday crowds at a mall near you.
And speaking of thankfulness, you know what we here at the Dumbest Lab gave thanks for this Thursday while we were elbows deep in cranberry sauce and walnut stuffing?
You guessed it, the overflowing bounty of dumbness bestowed upon us by our good friends at Hewlett Packard (HPQ) .
Yes, the once-proud tech company offered us yet another amen moment this Tuesday when it recorded a non-cash charge of around $8.8 billion related to its purchase of U.K. software maker Autonomy last year. In its conference call, HP said the majority of the impairment "is linked to serious accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and outright misrepresentations" that took place at Autonomy prior to HP's taking it over.
"These improprieties were discovered through an internal investigation after a senior member of Autonomy's management team came forward following the departure of
Improprieties our ass Meg! Woman up and call it a fraud if that's what you believe. Your stock is getting destroyed and famed shortseller Jim Chanos is dancing on your grave like he's at a P. Diddy party in East Hampton. This is no time to mince words. Your target, former Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch, is not pulling his punches in his defense, so why should you?
Seriously Meg, check out what he said in in an interview with AllThingsD: "Basically, we reject completely the assertion of HP. It's completely wrong. The reality of the situation is that when HP bought Autonomy it had hundreds of people involved in due diligence, which was described at the time as 'meticulous.' And KPMG, Barclays and Perella were all involved there. And they've actually run it for a year. To somehow admit a $9 billion elephant in the room just beggars belief, frankly."
See! It's now or never. Your fourth-quarter earnings of $1.16 a share may have exceeded Wall Street's profit estimate, but a two-penny beat is hardly a blowout and certainly not enough to knock this Autonomy hullabaloo out of the headlines. Not helping either is your tepid earnings outlook of 68 to 71 cents a share for next quarter, well below Wall Street's consensus view of 85 cents.
So what are you going to do Meg? Huh? How do you plan to turn this battleship around before it sinks under the weight of all those stupid executive decisions?

Legislators grade the governor
January 14, 2006
Legislators from Curry and Roosevelt Counties graded the performance of Gov. Bill Richardson — some with ambivalence, because Richardson's term is not yet over. Richardson is a Democrat.
The next general election is Nov. 7.
Sen. Clinton D. Harden, R-Clovis: "I give him a C+ for providing better services. There is growth in state government, but those with access aren't getting the best product at the price available."
Sen. Gay G. Kernan, R-Hobbs: "Giving him a grade is not something I have the right to do. That's up to the people of New Mexico and they'll do that next year at the ballot box. He's done good things for the state."
Rep. Jose Campos, D-Santa Rosa: "I give him an A. He's done a great job promoting the state. He's done a good job cutting taxes. He traveled around the state and lobbied hard for Cannon. He's the hardest working elected official in the state for Cannon. No one has worked as hard."
Rep. Anna M. Crook, R-Clovis: "I don't think I want to do that (give Richardson a grade). There's lots of reasons why. He hasn't finished his term, there's still things to be seen."
Rep. Brian Moore, R- Clayton: "Overall, I give him a B. I think the governor gets an A in political skills — he is fun to watch. He is good at communicating with people. I give him a C for his relationship with the Legislature — though it's better than we've had with past governors — there is an obvious tension occurring between the legislature and the governor; he could communicate with us better. His work with BRAC has been phenomenal."
Rep. Keith Gardner, R-Roswell: "The result of the 30-day session and how he interacts with the Legislature will be the final exam in how his grade is determined. I'm concerned about how much he's promised to so many people and if we can afford it. I'll be glad to give a grade after the Legislative session— but he may need some tutoring."
Sen. Stuart Ingle, R-Portales, chose not to comment.

Thanksgiving Special: We're Damn Thankful for Houston
As we near the last Thursday of this month of November, we're once again overwhelmed with all that this city offers. The hidden, the grandiose, the cool, the absurd, the odd, the comfortable, the innovative, the creative, and more, all bursting the city's seams while somehow thriving, quietly hidden from the rest of the world.
We don't wear our strengths or eccentricities on our sleeve. We go along, much as we always have; comfortably living under this nonsensical Houston enchantment. Never dull, even in the mundane. Thanks, Houston.

mysql dtrace provider now enabled in MySQL 5.4
By Vince Carbone on Apr 21, 2009
Over the last year there has been alot of work done to instrument MySQL with static dtrace probes. The mysql provider first became available in MySQL 6.0.8 but required a build with the --enable-dtrace flag to enable it. Starting with MySQL 5.4 the mysql provider and it's static probes are now enabled by default and ready to be used on Solaris 10, OpenSolaris and Mac OS X.
The static probes in MySQL 5.4 have been designed to follow the execution path of a query
with the level getting deeper as the query execution proceeds. However the probes are implemented so that you don't have to traverse the entire hierarchy to get the information you want.
They are also implemented in sets. The -start probe exposes pertinent information such as the query text. The -done probe returns the status of the probe operation. With probe sets time spent within an operation can be captured.
Check out MC Brown's MySQL University presentation "Using DTrace with MySQL" for details. MC and I will also be presenting a simlar presentation at the MySQL User's Conference on Tuesday 4/21 at 4:25pm (shameless plug). If you can't make that session there is another session on DTrace and MySQL on Wed 4/22 at 4:25pm.
For examples and ideas check out Jenny Chen's Blueprint on DTrace and MySQL . There is also a detailed section in the MySQL 6.0 documentation on using the MySQL static probes.

hope that's helpful
Sounds cool, I'm coming in the morning (ok, probably around 11.30).
Two question:
- Can we keep some paint as well (we could sort out the paints that we need)?
- Free shop stuff? Stays or goes? I suggest stay because of the fleamarket+custom party. Hm?
p.s: I wouldn't mind doing the workshop sorting out.

Bar closing time back on the table in Essex County
LAKE PLACID – A resolution to change Essex County's closing time for bars from 4 a.m. to 2 a.m. is expected to be reintroduced next week.
The original resolution was tabled last month so members of the county's Board of Supervisors could have more time to talk about the change with their constituents. The two-hour shift would have the greatest impact on three bars in Lake Placid, and the proposal led to a spirited discussion about the issue at a village Board of Trustees meeting March 25.
Supervisors expect to debate the matter at Monday's Public Safety Committee meeting, scheduled for 10 a.m. at the old county courthouse in Elizabethtown. North Elba town Supervisor Roby Politi is a member of that committee. He said this week he hopes the village board will give him some direction as to how he should vote on the resolution – "whether they're satisfied with the potential change, whether they're against it or whether they'd like me to request some type of modification."
Three village bars – Wiseguys Sports Bar and Grill, Roomers Nightclub and Zig Zags Pub – currently close at 3 a.m. The owners of those bars have said the time change would unfairly impact their workers and affect their bottom lines.
"I'm sure we're going to come up with an hour to advise the supervisor what message to carry back to the county," village Mayor Craig Randall told the Enterprise.
Politi said he's confident the village is doing its due diligence.
"I'm hoping to get some kind of discussion from them," he said.
Meanwhile, Randall met with a group of community representatives this week to talk about issues beyond the closing time. That group included a bar owner, a law-enforcement official and Mary Dietrich of the Lake Placid-Wilmington Connecting Youth and Communities Coalition.
"I'm encouraged that we could get by the topic – the hour that (the bars) are opened or closed – and start talking about, 'What are the real problems in our community?'" he said. "I'm encouraged to believe two things are going to happen. One, I think, is the owners of our local bars will put some thought into what they can do to help CYC address some of our youth issues.
"And at the same time we heard why some of the public intoxication issues on Main Street don't really get addressed as well as we'd like to see them done."

ATHLETES OF WEEK (April 23-May 1): Jake VanHouten and Katie Gustafson
Times Observer photos
Big individual efforts helped the Eisenhower boys track team and Youngsville girls softball team this week. Eisenhower's Jake VanHouten, left, was a rare four-time individual event winner in 300 hurdles, long jump, triple jump and high jump in a 99-42 region win over Youngsville. He also won the 200, triple jump and 300 hurdles in a 100-49 win over Union City. Funny thing, he smashed the Ike school record in the 300 hurdles , until head coach David Bauer realized there were only seven hurdles out instead of the necessary eight. Youngsville's Katie Gustafson has helped the Lady Eagles beat Eisenhower twice with game-winning hits. This week, she was 3-for-4 with two runs and five RBI, including the go-ahead 3-run homer that made it 7-5 in an 8-5 win. A little over a week earlier, her two-out two-run triple beat Ike 6-5 in the bottom of the seventh. She was also 3-for-3 with three runs and two RBI and winning pitcher in a 9-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday. VanHouten and Gustafson are the Times Observer Athletes of the Week, sponsored by McDonald's.

I've heard some people in the kitchen say that coffee grounds are good for cleaning out the pipes. I was wondering whether to do this at home with my Turkish coffee grounds, but thought I would look it up to make sure it was good for the pipes.
It turns out that this is bad for the pipes. It will make them clog quicker, rather than scour the grime off. So not a good idea, mkay.

Sovereign Center, Reading Royals display murals created by Reading School District students
Grant from anonymous donor funded after-school project
READING, Pa. - Some artistic students in Reading have been given a unique opportunity to show off their talents in a big way.
The Reading School District, the Sovereign Center and the Reading Royals unveiled a series of murals mounted on new a new fence that surrounds the arena's administrative parking lot at South 8th and Cherry streets.
"Marlene {Rathman} and I were excited for our RSD art students in K-12 to be involved with a community mural project," said Kate Clewell, one of the two teachers who directed the project. "It is a great opportunity for the students to take ownership and pride in their city, and it's an equally fabulous opportunity to highlight our aspiring Reading artists."
The fencing and the mural were made possible with a grant from a local donor, who wished to remain anonymous, said officials, adding that a principle component of the grant was to fund a project that students could work on after school and create an end product that could be seen by the general public.
The elementary school teachers and students involved in the mural project included:
Amanda E. Stout Elementary School art teacher Evan Jack and students Solmarie Negron, Tonathium Hilalgo, and Neztalynn Casiano;
Lauer's Park Elementary School art teacher Ericka Evans-Loos and students Ana Zavala, Xavier Ramos-Rivera, Shane Ovid and Danisha Alcarez;
Millmont Elementary School art teacher Marlene Rathman and students Shondel Griffith, Ali Rodriguez, Miguel Rivera, and Lynette Delgado;
Northwest Elementary School art teacher Nathan Henschel and students Kristian Tirado, Amylee Beriguete, Aleeze Rivera, and Paul Phan;
Riverside Elementary School art teacher Alia Emery and students Mark Reid, Fransmarie Velez-Gaspar, Malachi Hunt, and Cassandra Campbell;
Tyson-Schoener Elementary School art teacher Rebecca Stoner and students Ryver Ashjean, Michelle Lopez, William Li, and Jackson Garcia;
12th and Marion Elementary School art teacher Migdalia Peterson and Juan Castaneda, Jose Garcia, Aliah Lantigua, Adrel Holmes;
13th and Green Elementary School art teacher Valerie Garvin and students Yaire Garcia, Ave Liciago and Karla Arroyo;
13th and Union Elementary School art teacher Barbara Cimochowski and student Ryan Harris;
16th and Haak Elementary School art teacher Marcie Blatt and students Treves Nolan, Savannah Gonzalez, Derici McCoy, and Cynthia Ortiz;
Glenside Elementary School art teacher Doug Hatch and students Ankeyra Rivera, Kevin Rivera, Genesis Batista Hernandez, Christina Garcon, Francisco Javier Fabian Colon, and Jose Ramon Torres;
10th and Penn Elementary School art teacher Doug Hatcher and students Kristen Batista, Angela Berges, Jose Zavala, Grecia Reyes, Jaylese Rodriguez, Ashley Badia, and Lajada Cuello.
The Reading High School students participating in the project included: Christian Almodovar, Eva Blanco, Jonathan Colon, Rhaiza Dejesus, Lisettte De la Cruz, Chislaine Ferraras, Karla Garcia, Francis Gonzalez, Christian Almodovar, Chislaine Ferreras, Allison Grenseman, Bianca Negron, Rachel Hemmig, Jorge Hernandez, Molly Hinzman, Heather Mason, Gamalych Melendez, Juan Mora, Bianca Negron, Eliezier Pellicier, Jalymar Pena, Amanda Rodriguez, Jose Rodriguez, Lauren Dawson, Magalis Gomez, Melody Gonzalez, Jesus Lopez, Samantha Mejia, Kevin Mendoza, Johnny Palaquachi, Elvia Pimental, Monica Plasencia, Rosa Rivas-Cortez, Rodolfo Rodriguez, Winstyn Sloane, Jose Solano, Calvin Tolentino, Nancy Tran, Stephanie Valladeres, and Jose Yepez.
