One of the largest crowds ever assembled for a canonization—250,000—symbolized the reaction of millions touched by the simple story of St. Maria Goretti (1890-1902).
She was the daughter of a poor Italian tenant farmer, had no chance to go to school, never learned to read or write. When she made her First Communion not long before her death at age 12, she was one of the older and somewhat backward members of the class.
On a hot afternoon in July, Maria was sitting at the top of the stairs of her house, mending a shirt. She was not quite 12 years old, but physically mature. A cart stopped outside, and a neighbor, Alessandro, 18 years old, ran up the stairs. He seized her and pulled her into a bedroom. She struggled and tried to call for help. "No, God does not wish it," she cried out. "It is a sin. You would go to hell for it." Alessandro began striking at her blindly with a long dagger.
She was taken to a hospital. Her last hours were marked by the usual simple compassion of the good—concern about where her mother would sleep, forgiveness of her murderer (she had been in fear of him, but did not say anything lest she cause trouble to his family) and her devout welcoming of Viaticum, her last Holy Communion. She died about 24 hours after the attack.
Her murderer was sentenced to 30 years in prison. For a long time he was unrepentant and surly. One night he had a dream or vision of Maria, gathering flowers and offering them to him. His life changed. When he was released after 27 years, his first act was to go to beg the forgiveness of Maria's mother.
Devotion to the young martyr grew, miracles were worked, and in less than half a century she was canonized. At her beatification in 1947, her mother (then 82), two sisters and a brother appeared with Pope Pius XII on the balcony of St. Peter's. Three years later, at her canonization, a 66-year-old Alessandro Serenelli knelt among the quarter-million people and cried tears of joy

What Are the Different Parts of a Tooth?
- Crown— the top part of the tooth, and the only part you can normally see. The shape of the crown determines the tooth's function. For example, front teeth are sharp and chisel-shaped for cutting, while molars have flat surfaces for grinding.
- Gumline— where the tooth and the gums meet. Without proper brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up at the gumline, leading to gingivitis and gum disease.
- Root— the part of the tooth that is embedded in bone. The root makes up about two-thirds of the tooth and holds the tooth in place.
- Enamel— the outermost layer of the tooth. Enamel is the hardest, most mineralized tissue in the body — yet it can be damaged by decay if teeth are not cared for properly.
- Dentin— the layer of the tooth under the enamel. If decay is able to progress its way through the enamel, it next attacks the dentin — where millions of tiny tubes lead directly to the dental pulp.
- Pulp— the soft tissue found in the center of all teeth, where the nerve tissue and blood vessels are. If tooth decay reaches the pulp, you usually feel pain.
What Are the Different Types of Teeth?
Every tooth has a specific job or function (use the dental arch in this section to locate and identify each type of tooth):
- Incisors— the sharp, chisel-shaped front teeth (four upper, four lower) used for cutting food.
- Canines— sometimes called cuspids, these teeth are shaped like points (cusps) and are used for tearing food.
- Premolars— these teeth have two pointed cusps on their biting surface and are sometimes referred to as bicuspids. The premolars are for crushing and tearing.
- Molars— used for grinding, these teeth have several cusps on the biting surface

Johnny Weissmuller was a hero to adults and children alike around the world, an international sex symbol and an enduring icon. Widely recognized as the definitive movie Tarzan, he was also a swimming superstar and Olympic champion long before he hit the silver screen. Still considered one of the three best swimmers of all time, he is the only person acknowledged as one of history's greatest athletes to become even more famous in another field. After his debut in "Tarzan of the Apes" in 1932, he became an international movie star in the golden era of 30's and 40's Hollywood, and his fame lasted throughout the television era – establishing him as a true worldwide phenomenon for over seven decades.
Weissmuller was a groundbreaker in many ways, one whose impact on celebrity and sports culture remains to this day. He became one of the first athletes to transcend national boundaries as a sports hero, when he won three Gold medals and the world's heart at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris. His dominance of his sport has been unmatched to this day by any athlete; in over 8 years of official competition he never lost a race – in events ranging from 50 meters to pentathlons and miles-long marathons – and held some records for nearly 60 years. He is still #1 on the short list of Olympic gold medal winners to have medaled in two sports, with five Gold in swimming and a Bronze in water polo. And on his way to becoming the first true male "sex symbol", Weissmuller in 1929 was one of the first sporting celebrities ever to endorse and design athletic wear.
Johnny's 12 appearances as Tarzan over 17 years are the most of any actor in the most filmed franchise of all time. No other actor in film history has had such longevity portraying a character. Weissmuller defined Tarzan not just for his generation or in America, but worldwide, and through the technology of television for many generations thereafter. He was the number one box-office draw internationally for ten years, and for nearly 70 years at any given moment one of his films was being aired somewhere on the planet.
Weissmuller's convincing portrayal of a man living at one with nature and the animals, who could take on all enemies – human or beast – that threatened those he loved armed with just a knife and his skills, resonated worldwide and across all boundaries. He was the quintessential action hero, and his iconic Tarzan yell is still one of the most recognized cinema soundbites in history.
His charm, physical prowess, and sense of humor as both an athlete and in the roles of Tarzan and movie star made him beloved around the world. From a poor immigrant family, Weissmuller never forgot his origins and remained down-to- earth even as his fame skyrocketed. As remarkable as it was to gain superstardom in two fields as a sports and cultural hero, Johnny was humble, gracious, and universally admired as a good and generous man who was always willing to use his fame and skills to help others.
Perhaps most remarkable of all is that he was also a real-life hero, over the years saving numerous lives in several situations. The most notable occurred in 1927 when he dove in and saved 11 people from drowning after a tragic boating accident on Lake Michigan, while he was training for the Chicago Marathon.
He was the Founding Chairman of the Board of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, one of the first 20 inductees to the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, and a prolific amateur golfer who won many tournaments over 50 years of playing. He also excelled as a diver, and helped to launch the nascent sports of surfing and paddleboarding.
By 1967 he was such an icon that he appeared on the famous album cover of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, right behind the Beatles and within reach of Marilyn Monroe. And the extent to which his appeal crossed all political and ideological boundaries was in evidence when he died in 1984: Weissmuller was one of the only figures to receive extensive obituaries on television in nearly every country worldwide, including the Soviet Union and communist China – something almost unheard of at the time.
His international popularity throughout his lifetime had extended to many world leaders, from Japanese Crown Prince Chichibu and Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie to Russian president Mikhail Gorbachev and Britain's Queen Elizabeth, along with 12 U.S. Presidents. Befittingly, Weissmuller was one of the few non-heads of state ever to be afforded a 21-gun salute, at his memorial service in Beverly Hills, CA. Arranged by Senator Kennedy and President Reagan, it was a singular honor for a man who was a true American Icon.
With but few exceptions, it is always the underdog who wins through sheer willpower.

*THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION**A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR THE TIMES, NEW YORK TIMES, GUARDIAN, OBSERVER, AND PROSPECT*'If I had to name a single book that makes sense of these last few dark years, it would be this one' New York Times'A deeply compelling read … urgent and necessary' Evening StandardNaomi Klein, author of era-defining bestsellers, The Shock Doctrine, This Changes Everything and No Logo, is back with her most compulsive and personal book yet: a revelatory journey into the mirror world of our polarised ageWhen Naomi Klein discovered that a woman who shared her first name, but had radically different, harmful views, was getting chronically mistaken for her, it seemed too ridiculous to take seriously. Then suddenly it wasn't. She started to find herself grappling with a distorted sense of reality, becoming obsessed with reading the threats on social media, the endlessly scrolling insults from the followers of her doppelganger. Why had her shadowy other gone down such an extreme path? Why was identity - all we have to meet the world - so unstable?To find out, Klein decided to follow her double into a bizarre, uncanny mirror world: one of conspiracy theories, anti-vaxxers and demagogue hucksters, where soft-focus wellness influencers make common cause with fire-breathing far right propagandists (all in the name of protecting 'the children'). In doing so, she lifts the lid on our own culture during this surreal moment in history, as we turn ourselves into polished virtual brands, publicly shame our enemies, watch as deep fakes proliferate and whole nations flip from democracy to something far more sinister.
This is a book for our age and for all of us; a deadly serious dark comedy which invites us to view our reflections in the looking glass. It's for anyone who has lost hours down an internet rabbit hole, who wonders why our politics has become so fatally warped, and who wants a way out of our collective vertigo and back to fighting for what really matters.

Global climate target could net additional six million tons of fish annually
Vancouver, B.C., Dec. 22, 2016 – If countries abide by the Paris Agreement global warming target of 1.5 degrees Celsius, potential fish catches could increase by six million metric tons per year, according to a new study published in Science.
The researchers also found that some oceans are more sensitive to changes in temperature and will have substantially larger gains from achieving the Paris Agreement.
"The benefits for vulnerable tropical areas is a strong reason why 1.5 C is an important target to meet," said lead author William Cheung, director of science at the Nippon Foundation-UBC Nereus Program and associate professor at UBC's Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries.
"Countries in these sensitive regions are highly dependent on fisheries for food and livelihood, but all countries will be impacted as the seafood supply chain is now highly globalized. Everyone would benefit from meeting the Paris Agreement."
The authors compared the Paris Agreement 1.5 C warming scenario to the currently pledged 3.5 C by using computer models to simulate changes in global fisheries and quantify losses or gains. They found that for every degree Celsius decrease in global warming, potential fish catches could increase by more than three metric million tons per year. Previous UBC research shows that today's global fish catch is roughly 109 million metric tons.
"Changes in ocean conditions that affect fish stocks, such as temperature and oxygen concentration, are strongly related to atmospheric warming and carbon emissions," said author Thomas Frölicher, principal investigator at the Nippon Foundation-UBC Nereus Program and senior scientist at ETH Zürich. "For every metric ton of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere, the maximum catch potential decreases by a significant amount."
Climate change is expected to force fish to migrate towards cooler waters. The amount and species of fish caught in different parts of the world will impact local fishers and make fisheries management more difficult.
The findings suggest that the Indo-Pacific area would see a 40 per cent increase in fisheries catches at 1.5 C warming versus 3.5 C. Meanwhile the Arctic region would have a greater influx of fish under the 3.5 C scenario but would also lose more sea ice and face pressure to expand fisheries.
The authors hope these results will provide further incentives for countries and the private sector to substantially increase their commitments and actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"If one of the largest carbon dioxide emitting countries gets out of the Paris Agreement, the efforts of the others will be clearly reduced," says author Gabriel Reygondeau, Nippon Foundation-UBC Nereus Program senior fellow at UBC. "It's not a question of how much we can benefit from the Paris Agreement, but how much we don't want to lose."
The study "Large benefits to marine fisheries of meeting the 1.5 °C global warming target" was published in Science: http://science.sciencemag.org/cgi/doi/10.1126/science.aag2331.

Zeick - Photoshop SVG export 4.0
For Photoshop CC 2015
Video: http://youtu.be/6k2ERzOH1cY
Zeick - Photoshop CC and CC 2014 plugin allows you export vector shape layers to SVG files.
Who need.
Web designers
UI designers
Why do you need it:
Small size
Resizable (yap it's vector)
How it works.
1. Select layers
2. Click to Zeick Export button
all selected layers will be cropped and exported to separated SVG files
Vector shape layers
Group of shapes
Multiple layers export
Shape Color
Shape Gradient (beta)
Shape Stroke (beta)
Color overlay (beta)
Gradient overlay (beta)
1. If you need to export several groups i recommend you to use Command (Mac) or Ctrl (PC) button instead of Shift because of Photoshop bug (if you use Shift button Photoshop adds to selection all layers inside groups) or after selection with Shift just expand and close one of selected groups this action (http://cl.ly/SnKX) will fix groups selection.
2. We recommend you to use less layer effects because this feature in beta now and sometime it works good, sometimes not.
3. Before exporting text layers we recommend you convert it to shapes.
4. Currently we don't support clipping mask so you will need to use path operation to simulate this effect
5. Create your fonts from SVG files here http://icomoon.io/app/

Speeding from one campus to another on Friday, Deasy peppered teachers and principals with questions about their strategies to improve academic programs, taking breaks between classroom stops to check his iPhone - admittedly his one addiction.
At Castelar Elementary in Chinatown, Deasy congratulated administrators on their high state test scores and their clean campus. Then he questioned staff on how they were addressing the achievement of Latino students on campus, who are underperforming compared to their Asian peers. "I read the data before coming ... tell me what you're doing about it," he asked.
Castelar's school coordinator, Sal Sandoval, said he appreciated the tough questions. "Of course it's a little intimidating, I mean he is our boss, but it's great to see how much he knows about our school," Sandoval said.

The "Trump Effect" sweeping the nation found its way to our local municipal and school board elections. Every local election can be seen as a referendum on President Trump as voters came out in mass and cast their votes overwhelmingly in support of Democratic candidates, ousting sitting Republicans in the process.
In the Tredyffrin Township Board of Supervisors race, At-Large candidate Murph Wysocki (D) was re-elected to a second term and newcomers Matt Holt (At-Large) and Kevin O'Nell (Middle District) candidates beat their Republican opposition. Historic in Tredyffrin Township, the election marks the first time in its 300 year history, that three of the seven seats will be held by Democrats. If memory serves me correctly, Paul Drucker was the first Democrat elected to the Tredyffrin Township Board of Supervisors in 2005.
As a result of the 2017 election, there are big changes coming to the T/E School Board. Running for second terms on the school board from Region III, Easttown residents Virginia Lastner (R) and Doug Carlson (R) lost to their Democrat opponents Heather Ward and Tina Whitlow. Region I school board candidate Scott Dorsey (D) had no opposition and will serve a second term.
In the T/E School Board Region II race, current Valley Forge Middle School teacher Kyle Boyer (D) prevailed over his Republican opponent Doug Anestad. As a teacher in the T/E School District, Boyer has been the focus of much attention since declaring his candidacy last March and is now required to resign from his reaching position before the December 4 school board meeting. It has been stated that Boyer will immediately tender his resignation to the school district and the District will waive the 60-day notification requirement so that he can take office. As a result of the 2017 election, the T/E School Board make-up will be seven Democrats and two Republicans.
All Chester County row office elections were won by Democrat candidates, including Tredyffrin Township resident Yolanda Van de Krol as newly elected County Clerk.
Thank you to all the candidates for caring about our community and your willingness to serve! Congratulations to those who have been elected – wishing you much success!

By Llewellyn King
Ever thought you'd be pleased to wait at a stoplight? Well, the day is coming when the stoplight may also be a refueling point for your electric car. It won't be the key point, but it might give your car a little boost until you get home, or to your parking garage or the supermarket.
Electric cars are much in the news these days, as the big automakers like Mercedes and General Motors try to catch up with the space, and notoriety, that Elon Musk and his Tesla Motors occupy.
But the bugaboo for electric cars, whether they are the super-refined Tesla or the more utilitarian Nissan Leaf, is charging. Batteries are getting better all the time, but they still need frequent charging. You wouldn't want to try to go any distance without planning ahead for where you can plug in, whether it's a high-speed, high-voltage charging station or a wire coming out of a kitchen window, which would need about eight hours to get you ready to speed off with that legendary electric car acceleration.
Electric cars have been the dream of automakers since the first cars, some of which were electric, but the limits of lead-acid batteries doomed them to very narrow uses. When I lived in Britain, milk delivery vehicles, called milk floats, were electric; and Harrods, the great London department store, used electric delivery vans for decades. In this case the slow-moving, use-specific and very distinctive vehicles possibly were as much for advertising as anything else. Customers wanted to have them pull up at their homes, suggesting that they could afford the substantial prices that are still part of the mystique of Harrods.
Over the decades, many new battery types have been tried, including some very far-out ideas like the aluminum-air battery. But the best, so far, is the lithium ion battery, a version of which you have in your cell phone or your computer, and which powers both pure electric cars and the electric component of hybrids like the Toyota Prius.
But there's still the pesky issue of charging. A Nissan Leaf has a range of about 100 miles, and a Tesla Model S Performance car's range is 265 miles. The test comes on a cold, wet night when you're throwing everything at the electric system in addition to propulsion. Get it wrong and your only way home is by tow truck.
But the technology is on the way. The limits, as in so many things, are not on the technology, but the institutions that will bring it to market. Anyone want to make a business of car charging?
The technology, where the power is delivered by magnetic field without a direct connection to the wires, is called induction charging. You probably use it if you have an electric toothbrush, or a phone that charges in a cradle. Scaled up, it can be used to charge cars without a hard wire: a car, or other vehicle, drives over a plate in a parking lot or at a stoplight in the road and, miraculously, charging begins.
The Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., is working on induction charging; and in South Korea, the technology already is in use for buses. The South Korean buses charge, among other places on their routes, at bus stops. While the bus is loading passengers, it is also fueling. Very cool.
Nikola Tesla, after whom the car is named, was the Serbian-American genius who briefly worked with Thomas Edison before selling several patent rights, including those to his alternating-current machinery, to George Westinghouse. Tesla claimed he'd found a way of distributing electricity without wires. But how he'd planned to do this remains one of science's biggest mysteries because he left no plans when he died in 1943.
It's fitting that Tesla, in some small way, may be vindicated as electric vehicles named for him could be among the early beneficiaries of wireless charging. — For InsideSources.com

Medication Search - Sandoz Entacapone
Sandoz Entacapone
Common Name:
How does Sandoz Entacapone work? What will it do for me?
Entacapone belongs to a group of medications called catechol-O-methyl
transferase (COMT) inhibitors. It is used along with levodopa-carbidopa or
levodopa-benserazide to treat Parkinson's disease.
By inhibiting COMT enzymes that normally break down levodopa in the body,
entacapone increases the amount of levodopa reaching the brain. This reduces
the end-of-dose "wearing off" effect that some people taking levodopa
may experience, thereby minimizing fluctuations in symptoms of Parkinson's
disease. When taken on its own, entacapone has no effect on symptoms of
Parkinson's disease.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in
several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not
be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions
discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all
of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than
those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed
this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak
to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same
symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if
their doctor has not prescribed it.
What form(s) does Sandoz Entacapone come in?
Each brownish-orange, unscored, oval-shaped, film-coated tablet, embossed
with "COMTAN" on one side, contains entacapone 200 mg. Nonmedicinal
ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, hydrogenated vegetable oil, magnesium
stearate, mannitol, and microcrystalline cellulose; coating: glycerol
85%, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, polysorbate 80, red
iron oxide, sucrose, titanium dioxide, and yellow iron oxide.
How should I use Sandoz Entacapone?
Entacapone is to be taken together with either levodopa-carbidopa or
levodopa-benserazide to treat people with Parkinson's disease who experience
end-of-dose "wearing off" of levodopa. End-of-dose "wearing
off" refers to a decrease in the amount of time that levodopa is
effective, which results in fluctuations in Parkinson's disease symptoms.
The recommended dose of entacapone is 200 mg taken with each
levodopa-carbidopa or levodopa-benserazide dose, up to 8 times daily.
This medication can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablets
whole. Do not crush or chew the tablets.
This medication has no effect on symptoms of Parkinson's disease when taken
Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as
body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor
has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change
the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your
doctor. If you miss taking a dose of entacapone with your levodopa dose, skip
that dose and take your next entacapone dose with your next levodopa dose. Do
not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure
what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature, protect it from light and
moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
Who should NOT take Sandoz Entacapone?
Do not take entacapone if you:
- are allergic to entacapone or
any ingredients of the medication - are taking or have taken a
non-selective monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) within the last 2 weeks
(e.g., moclobemide, phenelzine, tranylcypromine) - have a previous history of
neuroleptic malignant syndrome or rhabdomyolysis - have liver impairment
- have pheochromocytoma (a
tumour in the adrenal glands) - have active heart, lung,
kidney, blood, or hormonal disease - have narrow-angle glaucoma
- have or have had skin lesions
that may be melanoma - have any condition where
epinephrine, norepinephrine, isoprenaline or dopamine should not be given

Here is a fun one we got to try from Dynamic Literacy called WordBuildOnLine.
WordBuildOnLine is a vocabulary program that spends time working on individual parts of the words and what they mean. (Like root words, suffixes and prefixes). The program we used was designed for 2nd through 5th grade, so S-girl and A-man were my lucky students for this one.
WordBuildOnLine has you doing the same group of five activities for each unit. So, each day, you log on and hit the start button.
First you will see a short little video After the video, you will do your activities. It is designed to take less than 15 minutes total to finish. There is even a timer in the upper right hand corner of the screen that counts down your time spent. In addition, the activities keep track of how long you are taking to complete them individually too.
Now, they even specifically say in ALL CAPS that the timer isn't supposed to be used as A RACE TO SEE HOW FAST YOU CAN DO THIS. But, they have obviously NOT met me OR my children. It is one of those personal points of pride to try to beat your score and do things just a little bit faster than you did last time.
This program is also designed to just truly work for 15 minutes a day, so you don't spend too much time on them. But, again, the Dynamic Literacy folks haven't met my children. When my kids were having fun....or, yes, beating the clock (even though it was very carefully explained to them that it wasn't a race), they would just keep clicking on Continue and Let's Go....and, just...keep on going until they were bored or sick of it. I honestly think that they did a whole week of lessons in one day once. Because they did it this way, I wasn't a stickler about them spending time EVERY day working on WordBuildOnline. But, that is the intended way for it to be used....a little at a time....a little every day.
My kids are just weird.
I was able to just remind them to get their WordBuild stuff in before they had their regular computer free time. I never got any complaining from them. I took that as a good sign that the program was well done and not something that the kids would dread having to get over with, like a chore....or bath time. Ha!!!
Things were also explained well enough that it was okay if I wasn't around when it was time to do their WordBuild stuff. Plus, the system sent me an e-mail telling me when they finished an activity and told me what they had finished. However, it would be worded like this: "S-girl has finished F1 03 ED MS N". So, yeah, in order for me to really know what they had studied I had to ask them or go dig around my parent page for their lessons.
There was one activity where it seemed like I got a lot more questions about than others. Below is a screenshot of the one that was, for them, a little on the tough side. Words and definitions part of, in this case, the prefix "in". They were totally fine creating the words, but had a little more trouble putting into words definitions for their new word. Definitely good practice, but a little tricky. I got a lot of questions like, "Mom! What is a definition of outfield?" or, "Mom! What do I put for infill?"
Overall, we all liked WordBuildOnLine. The kids liked it because it was fun and moved fast. They also liked it because it wasn't too brightly colored or, in their words.... "baby-ish".. This Magic Square game was listed by both A-man and S-girl as one of their favorite "games" in WordBuild.
I liked WordBuild because it was teaching really solid vocabulary and word building principles. It actually reminds me of the approach we take with our older kids with Greek and Latin morphemes. I like that we are starting that approach and way of thinking with the younger kids. I also like some of their encouraging little cheerleading phrases when the kids would get something right.
"Nurse, bring me an ice pack! This one is on fire!"
The only two bummer kinds of things I can think of is the e-mails that took a special decoder ring to figure out what they had studied that day, and that it took a little bit for them to figure out how to actually click and answer the questions. It isn't a typical double click or even a click and drag thing. You click on the answer and then click in the space for the answer. It was only frustrating to them for the first few lessons, but, then we ALL figured out what needed to happen.
But, that is pretty much the extent of the stuff we didn't like with this program. This was a fun one. A helpful one. A quick one. A really good strong early elementary vocabulary program.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on Oct. 11 announced the Next Generation Learning Challenges, a collaborative, multi-year initiative that aims to help dramatically improve college readiness and college completion in the United States through the use of technology tools and educational technology. The program will award grants to organizations and innovators to expand promising technology tools to more students, teachers, and schools. It is led by the nonprofit EDUCAUSE, which works to advance higher education through the use of information technology.
Next Generation Learning Challenges released the first of a series of requests for proposals (RFPs) on Oct. 11 to solicit funding proposals for technology applications that can improve postsecondary education. This round of funding will total up to $20 million, including grants that range from $250,000 to $750,000. Applicants with top-rated proposals will receive funds to expand their programs and demonstrate effectiveness in serving larger numbers of students. Proposals are due Nov. 19, 2010; winners are expected to be announced by March 31, 2011.
"American education has been the best in the world, but we're falling below our own high standards of excellence for high school and college attainment," said Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. "We're living in a tremendous age of innovation. We should harness new technologies and innovation to help all students get the education they need to succeed."
Next Generation Learning Challenges invites proposals from technologists and institutions within the education community, but also innovators and entrepreneurs outside the traditional education arena that can show promising results. The initiative will fund RFPs approximately every six to 12 months. The RFP released on Oct. 11 seeks proposals that address four specific challenges:
• Increasing the use of blended learning models, which combine face-to-face instruction with online learning activities;
• Deepening students' learning and engagement through the use of interactive applications, such as digital games, interactive video, immersive simulations, and social media;
• Supporting the availability of high-quality open courseware, particularly for high-enrollment introductory classes like math, science, and English, which often have low rates of student success; and
• Helping institutions, instructors, and students benefit from learning analytics, which can monitor student progress in real-time and customize proven supports and interventions.
Organizations collaborating on the effort include the League for Innovation in the Community College, the International Association for K-12 Online Learning, and the Council of Chief State School Officers. Each offers deep, practical expertise in educational instruction, leadership, and management.
A postsecondary degree or credential is crucial for both a strong economy and the financial security of American families. Careers requiring postsecondary education or training will make up 63 percent of all job openings by 2018. However, while access to higher education has improved, the rate of college completion has not. By age 30, fewer than half of all Americans have earned a college degree. For low-income and minority students, the situation is even bleaker.
The Gates Foundation also released a white paper outlining how educational technology can help students and educators dramatically improve student outcomes, both in high schools and in postsecondary education.
Next Generation Learning Challenges will rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of technology in learning to help educators and technologists understand the approaches that best help students succeed and why. The program will also create opportunities for innovators, educators, and developers to exchange ideas and collaboratively push the evolving field forward.
"Next Generation Learning Challenges will ensure we focus on the next generation—whether that means a student, learning experience, or technology," said Diana Oblinger, EDUCAUSE's president and CEO. "It will move proven and emerging technology-enabled solutions to a greater scale—serving more students and more communities. When you add this multiplier effect to the kind of high-quality learning we can provide, it really will change people's lives."
The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation helped conceptualize and design the Next Generation Learning Challenges.

Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovato Show 'Voice' Hopefuls How It's Done on Season 13 Finale
Kelly Clarkson and Demi Lovato gave The Voice Season 13 contestants something to aspire to Tuesday night (December 19) with guest performances on the finale that left audiences up on their feet.
Clarkson, whose new LP Meaning of Life dropped in October, unveiled the first live network TV rendition of "Medicine," what she told Official Charts will likely be her next single. And, as Clarkson will serve as a judge on the show's fourteenth season, she definitely had the likes of Adam Levine and Blake Shelton shaking in their boots.
Lovato, meanwhile, busted out a big, booming rendition of new single "Tell Me You Love Me," the eponymous song from her new sixth LP.
Still, all eyes were ultimately on 23-year-old Chloe Kohanski, who won the competition for Team Blake after being nearly eliminated by previous coach Miley Cyrus. The singer told People an initial insecurity — which evolved into humble confidence — is what finally guided her to the trophy.
"I never had a moment where I thought I have this in the bag. It instilled a lot of confidence in me. No matter what I was walking away with I have a sense of who I am," she said. "I also feel like if I wouldn't have won, I believe Blake when he says he does take care of his team," Kohanski said about the significance of winning with Shelton. "I'm very stoked that we won this together, that's very fun. It's not just for the show, it's real."

Hello my name is Andy, the owner/manager of Rivercatcher Holiday Cottages. Rivercatcher started as a family project back in 2012 with my father in law Ron. Ron, had spent many an hour fly-fishing on the opposite bank of the River Dee which surrounds the property. The realisation hit that we wanted to create a small group of unique cottages and log cabins to enable families and couples alike to escape to, but still indulge in five-star accommodation. After the challenging and rewarding journey of turning Cilan and it's outbuilding into the five cottages and four log cabins we have today, we hope our guests fall in love with Rivercatcher and the area just as we did.

Updated September 1, 2022 at 8:31 PM ET
On her very first day in Antarctica, one woman was warned to avoid a certain building at the National Science Foundation's McMurdo Station "unless [she] wanted to be raped."
Another was so "freaked out" by the pervasive sexual harassment that she began carrying around a hammer.
Sexual assault and sexual harassment "are a fact of life" in Antarctica, another woman said, "just like the fact that Antarctica is cold and the wind blows."
These are among the accounts published in a newly released report, commissioned by the National Science Foundation, that shows just how pervasive stories of harassment and assault are at the bottom of the world.
And it comes to a damning conclusion about the agency's operations in Antarctica: "Sexual harassment, stalking, and sexual assault are ongoing, continuing problems."
The report, which was presented to the NSF in June and publicly released last week, is based on more than 80 interviews with individuals and focus groups, along with a survey of 880 current and recent employees. Many of the report's interviewees are anonymous.
"It wasn't surprising to me to hear some of the stories that we heard," said Roberta Marinelli, the director of the NSF's Office of Polar Programs, in an interview with NPR. "It's certainly disappointing."
Many employees view sexual harassment as a problem
The NSF oversees all American operations in Antarctica. Each year, more than 3,000 scientists, contractors and military personnel are sent to the continent for programs under NSF's jurisdiction. About one in three of them are women.
Every woman I knew down there had an assault or harassment experience that had occurred on ice.
In the report's survey, 72% of female respondents agreed that sexual harassment was a problem. Just under half agreed that sexual assault was a problem. (Among male employees responding to the survey, about half and a third, respectively, agreed that harassment and assault were problems.)
"Every woman I knew down there had an assault or harassment experience that had occurred on ice," one interviewee told the report's authors. Although incidents involving female victims were "much more frequent and severe," the report stated, several men also recounted experiencing sexual harassment by men and women.
Officials at the NSF commissioned the report in April 2021 after years of individual reports of sexual harassment.
A remote and difficult workplace
Antarctica is an unusually challenging environment for these kinds of allegations. Its remoteness often means people are unable to leave for weeks or months at a time.
"You're so isolated and so detached from the normal roles in society that often it makes it, for lack of a better word, easier to get away with inappropriate behavior," said Meredith Nash, an Australian researcher who did not participate in the NSF report.
"When people are out doing deep field work, not only do they not have the capacity to report, because you can't call someone or send an email or whatever – if you're working with your harasser, you literally can't get away from them," said Nash, who now serves as an associate dean of Diversity, Belonging, Inclusion and Equity at the Australian National University.
Up until now, incidents have been reported as one-offs. In 2018, the name of a seven-mile-long glacier was changed after its namesake, the geologist David Marchant, was accused of sexually harassing female graduate students. He was later fired from his job at Boston University. In a statement at the time, he denied the allegations.
In a separate incident, the NSF says it received a report of a rape at one of its facilities within the past five years. The agency says it "promptly" referred the allegation to the Department of Justice.
The problems go well beyond scientists. Of the thousands of people working in Antarctica under the NSF each year, about 800 are researchers. The rest are support staff, including cooks, janitors and maintenance workers, many of them employed on seasonal contracts.
Challenges of reform
Throughout the report, respondents describe a pervasive environment of harassment and assault – and a workplace that is unfriendly to those who report incidents.
"People on station fear, and rightfully so, that if they are harassed or assaulted and report it, they will be the ones who will be going home," one person told the report's authors. "When things happened on ice, the number one thing I heard was 'don't report it or you will go home and be blacklisted from the program.'"
Particularly at risk were people who felt that their livelihoods could be at stake, like seasonal employees who depend on contract renewals, or Ph.D students who are reliant on lead researchers – a fact that officials acknowledged.
"The research shows us that even when we have the best sort of the best practice around reporting, the best possible sort of system, people still don't report because the power dynamics are such that it's not usually in the interest of the victim," Nash said.
Changing the power dynamics at these remote bases will be challenging, officials acknowledged. The infrequent availability of flights and ships means there's no simple way to separate victims from their harassers. And the numerous contractors and institutions that operate under NSF's oversight each has its own human resources policies and procedures around assault and harassment.
But officials at NSF say they are committed to reforming their operations.
"I don't feel I have a choice but to do anything other than meet this challenge head on," said Marinelli. "We have an obligation to provide a safe work environment, to provide workplace safety and workplace development opportunities for anyone who wants to come to Antarctica."

Minimum Duration: 6 Months Maximum Duration: 2 Years Minimum Age: No bar Maximum Age: No bar Eligibility:
10th pass/Working nursery, primary or elementary teachers OR passed AMT under Associate Studentship Scheme
Most people, children or adults, usually dread mathematics. Why does this happen? We believe that the problem is due to the way mathematics is usually taught from early school on. In this awareness level practical-oriented programme we look at ways in which we can teach mathematics to children in a way that will make them feel positive about it.
This programme consists of two courses. Both the courses are built around detailed examples of ways of communicating mathematical concepts/processes/skills to children upto the age of 10. Thus, the programme is aimed at pre-primary and primary school teachers, as well as parents of young children.
Video Programmes 1. Mathematics Comes Alive (In the Primary Classroom) 2. Working Mathematically (In the Primary Classroom) Counselling Counsellors will be available at each study centre according to a schedule made by the coordinator of the study centre. The counsellor is there to facilitate the learner's self-study. Thus, if there is a problem that s/he faces while studying, s/he can ask the counsellor for help in sorting it out. The counsellor will not give lectures.
The counsellor can provide the learner with valuable advice regarding project work. For details, please see the project guide. Project Evaluation
The learner should read the Project Guide of AMT-01 carefully before doing her/his project, and again before submitting her/his project report. The report should be submitted, along with Forms B and C (in Project Guide) to: The Registrar, SR&E Division, Indira Gandhi National Open University, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi-110 068. The learners should keep a photocopy of any papers, reports or assignments submitted to the study centre or the university.

Add some left over grilled salmon and you have a fresh tasting main dish.
- 8 ounces / 250 g linguinni or fuselli (small spirals)
- 1 large Beefsteak tomato or several smaller ones If you can get them, Heirloom tomatoes would be a good alternative to the Beefsteak (a variety of cherry tomatoes halved also works)
- 8 ounces / 225 grams brie cheese*
- 1/3 cup / 50 ml good quality olive oil
- 3 or 4 cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon / 5 ml salt
- 1 teaspoon / 15 ml freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- 1 handful fresh basil, coarsely chopped or julienned
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives (if desired)
- Chop tomato and place in a large serving bowl.
- Cut up Brie cheese. You can leave the rind on or discard it, if you prefer. Add to tomatoes in bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir just to combine. Set aside to allow flavours to meld.
- Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water.
- When pasta is cooked to your liking, drain it (do not rinse) and turn it out of the colander on to the sauce in the serving bowl.
- Toss until the cheese starts to melt, and serve immediately..
*I've also done this using 1 package of cream cheese, cubed, instead of the Brie.
