|My first exhibition will take place in bar Andalusky pes (Korunovacni 4, Prague). Opening ceremony start at 18:00 11.7. 2010. You are welcome!
|Long photoreport from the last FYKOS camp. I attended the first camp in 2001 as a participant, from 2002 as an organisator. This time I was like a senior (= almost dead :) visitor/photographer.
|My last trip abroad of this year, this time to Innsbruck. I was rather surprised by the amount of traditional dressing in the streets with some special connotations :)

|Weekend trip to Benelux was a welcomed opportunity to escape from the land of mines. Liege sometimes smells bad but it has a certain interesting spirit.
|With the nice weather at last reaching Juelich, I decide to take my crap bike for a ride. It turned out that the surroundings of this city can be quite nice.
|Last week we had 4-day weekend and I used this oportunity to visit Belgium. The weather was perfect but the sea still rather cold for swimming.

How does the Door Monkey work?
The Door Monkey's unique design automatically locks interior doors in a slightly cracked position. This helps protect little fingers from pain-ful door pinch injuries and allows fresh air to circulate through the secured room. The Door Monkey works with any style of door knob or lever. The adjustable height and easy operation make it a perfect solution for kids with younger siblings. The Door Monkey also works great for keeping pets in or out of a room, while still providing the benefits of fresh air circulation.
– Soft rubber grips help protect mounting surfaces.
– Portable: take on trips, to Grandma's house, etc.
– Keep the kids and pets out of the baby's room during nap time, and still be able to hear your baby's waking cries.
– Keep the kids and pets out of any room, without it becoming stuffy and stale.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Don't just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!
"I have been using the Door Monkey to keep my dogs in the laundry room when I leave the house. I appreciate the peace of mind it gives me knowing that they are in a safe place, and not running around the house destroying things. I also like that the door remains slightly open, so I know that dogs are comfortable." Read MoreOliver
"I am the mother of 6 children ranging in age from 15 to 4. I have tried all of the door latches available over the years and can confidently say that nothing compares to the Door Monkey. We use them all over the house. It is easy to use and is foolproof." Read More
"I absolutely love the Door Monkey. I have a five-year-old lab and I have to keep the laundry room door closed so that he doesn't get into the detergent or anything that's lying on the floor. But when that door is shut tight, it makes the hallway dark. Now, with the Door Monkey, I can have a little light coming through, but he can't get in. It's the best thing." Read MoreJoanie

"Nashville" Star Charles Esten Plays "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" With A Mission In Mind
Esten Makes Daytime "Millionaire" History by Becoming the First Celebrity Contestant Ever to Make it all the Way to the $1 Million Question!
Will Donate Winnings to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to Support Lifesaving Blood Cancer Research
Nov 14, 2013, 14:59 ET from The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Actor Charles Esten, who portrays Deacon Claybourne on the hit ABC series "Nashville," will appear as a contestant on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" with new host Cedric "The Entertainer" in episodes airing Wednesday, November 20 and Thursday, November 21, and will donate his winnings to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Esten makes "Millionaire" history by becoming the first celebrity contestant ever to make it all the way to the $1 million question on the daytime version of the show! Will he go for it? Tune in November 20 and 21 to find out!
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131114/NY17364 )
Esten will donate all of his winnings to LLS, the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding cures and ensuring access to treatments for blood cancer patients. Esten's 13-year-old daughter, Addie, was diagnosed with leukemia at age 2 1/2 and, thanks to advances in treatment, is thriving today. Because of their personal connection to blood cancer, Chip, his wife Patty, and the entire Esten clan are strong supporters of LLS.
"It was a dark and scary day when we found out that our Addie had leukemia. The first ray of light was the reassurance from our doctor that there was hope - there were medicines and procedures that could help our little girl. All that hope, and all that help, came from research…research made possible with funds raised by LLS and other organizations. That's why we're so thankful and committed to LLS. I'm excited that a fun experience on 'Millionaire' can be used to raise money and recognize the serious work of LLS, which is making a positive difference for blood cancer patients and their families."
"We have one goal: A world without blood cancers," states LLS President & CEO John Walter. "To date, we have invested nearly $1 billion in research to advance therapies and save lives. We are so grateful to Chip Esten and his family for their support to show that we are helping to save lives not someday, but today."
"Millionaire" airs weekdays in national syndication. Check local listings or go to http://www.millionairetv.com for time and channel.

Fiji Time: 12:07 AM on Sunday 25 February

POLICE and Navy put the search for two women and a 10-year-old girl in Kadavu on halt as bad weather creeps in.
The three went missing six days ago while on a fishing trip in the Kadavu waters.
Police spokeswoman Ana Naisoro said missing are 43-year-old Litia Tuikoro, her ten year-old daughter Cema and a 33-year-old woman who is four months pregnant.
Ms Naisoro said the three went fishing in a canoe which was later discovered on shore.
Ms Naisoro said while the police had been doing their part, they were assisted by a navy patrol boat on Tuesday.
The missing three are from Tiliva in Kadavu.
Ms Naisoro said police could not stress enough about the dangers of going out to sea especially when the weather was forecasted to be rough.
She said most missing at sea cases eventuated because people did not take heed of warnings issued by the weather office.
She added with the cyclone warning in place, it would be unwise to be at open sea which areas would be affected.
Police will make a decision later on whether to continue their search or not.

Richard Tisei eyes another run against US Rep. John Tierney
Former state Senate Minority Leader Richard Tisei of Wakefield may make another run at being elected to Congress.
Tisei was Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker's running mate in their losing effort in 2010 and in 2012 nearly unseated Congressman John Tierney, pulling in 47.1 percent of the vote to 48.3 percent for Tierney.
On Monday morning, Tisei announced he's creating a committee to more actively explore another run and plans to make a formal announcement later this fall about his plans.
In a statement, Tisei said, "Like most Americans, I have been deeply disturbed by the dysfunction we are witnessing in Washington. The critical challenges facing our country have not diminished since 2012. Rather, they seem to be getting worse. The hyper-partisanship exhibited by both parties on a daily basis has created a stranglehold on our government and is preventing us from moving forward. We are a great country, but we clearly have reached a point where we need new leadership and a fresh start. We need more responsible Republicans and fewer divisive Democrats in Washington who are willing to stop the name calling, put party aside, and begin to seriously work together to do what is right for America."
Tierney edged Tisei by 4,330 votes and Tisei won in 29 of the 39 communities in the Sixth Congressional District. Tisei, who served 26 years in the House and Senate on Beacon Hill, runs a real estate firm with his partner Bernie Starr.

How Would You Defend Psystar
Posted 18 July 2008 - 08:59 AM
apple_filing.pdf 1.67MB 74 downloads
My idea of a response is to iterate that Psystar has done nothing wrong legally, and make it clear to Apple, produce legit cause and legit evidence or face a lawsuit after the conclusion of this one for malicious prosecution.
Posted 18 July 2008 - 09:43 AM
[edit] reading through the Apple filing made me laugh.. So much of it reads as classic mac-evangelism, which I guess is to establish that apple has a reputation to uphold. Point 15 is even funnier, citing that psystar's are bad computers... Is there any law that says you can't sell junk? It feels like they are looking to claim that psystar make apple look bad, which is pretty bizarre.. psystar manage to look bad all on their own.
Posted 18 July 2008 - 10:05 AM
Then they just follow up by saying that if Apple contends that the Mac OS X License Agreement applies to the purchaser, then Apple must comply with the Mac OS X License Agreement and refund the purchaser for his/her software AND hardware ACCORDING TO THE MAC OS X LICENSE AGREEMENT.
If Apple does not comply, Apple has breached the Mac OS X License Agreement, and the Mac OS X License Agreement has zero force and effect against that particular purchaser (and he can use Mac OS X anyway he/she wants).
Before dealing with Psystar, Apple should have taken a purchaser to court in order to establish that purchaser's are breaching the Mac OS X License Agreement. Not only should they have taken a purchaser to court, they should have gone after at least one pirate and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
Now Psystar can claim that not only have they done nothing wrong, but that Apple has engaged in Selective Prosecution (Apple has singled out Psystar for prosecution, but has no plans of prosecuting any actual pirates or end users).
By not addressing this issue first, Apple has made it clear that it will not prosecute customers (or software pirates) for violating the Mac OS X License Agreement, causing it to have no force and effect for customers.
My only reaction to your defence is that it's a bit of a catch-22: Although Apple may indeed be pursuing this to cause financial harm, this defence would be extremely expensive to pursue (requiring first the full case going to court & then the counter-suit) and so... .. ..
It could be expensive, but if Psystar's legal counsel know what they are doing, it shouldn't be.
If Psystar responds with a good defense, it is business as usual until the action moves forward.
The only way Apple can harm Psystar is by applying for an injunction, and if Psystar has an excellent defense, then Apple will not be granted an injunction because they have to demonstrate they are likely to win the case and the defendant is causing them harm (they have to support their claim with some sort of evidence).
Psystar just has to create an excellent defense and discredit Apple's evidence as it is presented.
Of course their is always the possibility of their lawyers deciding to challenge the validity of Apple's EULA and then who knows what the outcome will be. The strongest challenge Psystar can make against the EULA is to contend it doesn't apply to them. Of course, if they outright challenge the EULA, then it becomes a matter of whether Apple is breaking any laws with their EULA. It is nearly impossible for Apple to prove wrongdoing by Psystar if the EULA does not apply to Psystar, and it is nearly impossible for Psystar to prove wrongdoing by Apple if they challenge the EULA. So which do you think is the better bet?
Also, there is always the possibility that Psystar's legal counsel does not know what they are doing when it comes to these issues. Remember that the copyright, trademark and licensing lawyers work for the big guys (Apple) and not the little guys (Psystar).

That made me laugh, thanks!

I would think Apple would want to pull out all the stops to set an example. I think if other companies like Psystar spring up, it would be a good idea not to front page them so as to avoid being seen as the finger that is pointing potential buyers toward them. Maybe even put a ban on threads about them and others? We're none of us legal experts so I wonder how much mileage there is in addressing the question. Wouldn't the best legal advice to people wanting to set up similar companies, be: Don't try this at home, folks! Don't turn your garage into a factory or you might have to sell the family car and family home and... and...

Why would we want to ban people talking about a company and what they sell? Some say all publicity is good publicity, but when the verdict seems unanimous that psystar build junk and you're far better off with a DIY solution, I rather doubt that. Their market appears to be those who want something for nothing, this never works out. Pay with your $$ for a mac or with your time & effort for a hackintosh. Your $$ buy you apple support & satisfaction. Your time & effort buy you the knowledge to tackle the technical challenges of your homebuilt when it goes off up shit creek. Buy a prebuilt clone, and you've paid less for a machine that will leave you without a paddle. I believe the cloners will turn out to be self-limiting, as their profits will eternally be squeezed between customers comparing the price to pc's from other vendors, and the cost of updating & supporting the machines. How much extra will people pay for a leopard install with no real guarantee?
I'd think the best advice to people wanting to set up similar companies would be "be prepared" know the law where you are, and expect a legal battle. I'm still waiting for this kind of thing to happen in Europe, where Apple's case for stopping someone using legitimately purchased software in whatever manner they choose is far weaker.
Another aspect which keeps trickling through my mind is when does the infringement actually occur: hypothetically, say I was to start wobblebottom computers inc. and sell the bottomwobbler computer, which coincidentally works 100% with retail leopard (which I also sell) and a boot .iso (which I happen to have available for download). The user has to perform a simple setup procedure & there: a wobblebottomtosh! There is plenty of precedent for selling things in kit form that are illegal when assembled. I would post a notice on the site saying "on no account download wblbtm.iso, burn to disc, boot, swap with leopard disc, complete install, reboot & run the post-install script, as this might be illegal"
The grey areas, especially in countries where the EULA is not considered valid, appear to be getting ever wider..

BUT... if they did that, and a lot of people started buying Psystar boxes and coming here to learn how to install OSX, Apple might then start coming after this website and the developers...
Posted 22 July 2008 - 04:13 PM
If I was Psystar, I would just sell the boxes and advertise them as being compatible with the major operating systems out there. Leave it to the buyer to install whatever OS they want BUT also state in bold that the hardware is compatible with OSX - but don't ask Psystar how it can be done... That's the only way they can get out of this mess and continue to sell hardware...
BUT... if they did that, and a lot of people started buying Psystar boxes and coming here to learn how to install OSX, Apple might then start coming after this website and the developers...
Agreed. Just like when you sell something on this forum. It can be "Mac OS X Ready" but it can't include it advertised pre-installed because that's illegal (According to Steve). A lot of people out there don't want to hit or miss with ordering hardware online, finding out that it doesn't work right, and having to return it in hopes of getting the right combo of hardware, custom drivers, etc. for the perfect Hackintosh. Some people want the spoon, and Psystar could've been that spoon. It doesn't take a "leet h4x0r" to figure public torrents out.

Many parts of Apple's system, like, duh duh duh duh duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, aqua, are not under the GPL.
So what does that have to do with the price of tea in china? Apple distributes the GPL software that is INSTALLED at the same time the OS is and restricts your use of the GPL software by their EULA by its very nature the GPL states you cannot put further restrictions on a piece of GPL software other than is already in the GPL version it was released under of which there is certainly no restriction on the type of hardware you can use GPL software on. One more thing on the use of GPL software in OS X is the installer of most I have used they require you to agree to the GPL which is not required you do not have to agree to the GPL to use GPL software as an end user nit picking I know but it bothers me. Another one it appears our friends in the EU actually have a case of illegal conduct on Apple's part as their laws forbid further restriction on use of a product you buy according to this comment I found a little while ago if so they can sue Apple for that clause in the agreement.

For many users of the forum, osx86 is like a demo/trial platform to switch to a real Apple hw one day. So, on it's way, this could be "marketing-friendly" for Apple.
But companies that stole to gain profits like psystar, shuld just be burned out.
Just my opinion.
Posted 30 July 2008 - 07:47 PM
Before Apple can allege that the Mac OS X License Agreement applies to Psystar, they must prove that their License Agreement not only applies to end users (customers), but also applies to a third party such as Psystar (unlikely).
If Apple cannot prove that Psystar is bound to the Mac OS X License Agreement, then first-sale doctrine applies and Apple cannot place restrictions on the resale of Mac OS X.

11:02AM "We are releasing it for end users for iPhone and iPod touch for users this summer. For the 3GS and iPod touch 3rd gen. And, for iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2nd gen, they will run many things… but there are some things they won't run, like multitasking."
11:01AM "So let's review. Multitasking, folders, enhanced mail, iBooks, enterprise, Game Kit, and iAd. And these are just seven of the 100 new user features. Now we are releasing a dev preview today."
10:58AM Still talking about iAd and showing off some pretty cool stuff.
10:54AM Showing an ad on the iPhone for Toy Story 3. "All this stuff is done in HTML5 by the way."
10:48AM Mobile Advertising, iAd. Demoing a new way of displaying ads.

10:39AM Unified inbox in Mail! it's about time!!! Multiple Exchange accounts and fast inbox switching. Threaded messages.
10:37AM Ability to change homescreen wallpaper.
10:35AM Folders to organize apps.
10:32AM "That is background location. Next, push notifications. They're very popular, in 9 months we've pushed more than 10b notifications."
10:31AM "We take privacy very seriously. We're taking it further in iPhone OS 4. We're adding an indicator on the status bar to see if something is asking for your location. Next we're asking fine grain settings you can enable or disable per application. And if any of them have asked for your location in 24 hours, we'll show you."
10:27AM "Now GPS uses a fair bit of power, but that's okay for something like this. But there's another class of application that wants to use your location… social networking applications like Loopt. For that, we use cell towers."
10:21AM Scott Forstall is talking about Pandora being able to play music while running other apps. (I've been doing this for a long time with Backgrounder.)
10:18AM Demoing some multitasking and talking about battery usage.
10:16AM "It's easy to do this in a way that drains battery life, and a way that reduces performance of the foreground app. If you don't do it right, your phone will feel sluggish."
10:15AM Multitasking. "Now we weren't the first to this party, but we're gonna be the best. Just like cut and paste."

The oil is a creamy tan with distinctive water in the oil. I pulled the plugs 1 by 1 and did a compression check of each cylinder. Every cylinder was at 175 + or - a couple. Cylinder #6 is the only spark plug that had rust on it. I forgot to mention this is a 3100 engine if that makes a difference. Would it be safe to say the problem would be a blown head gasket on that head. If so how often do these heads on grand ams warp or crack. Would you recommend just replacing both head gaskets since I'd almost be to the other one too and can I get by with just inspecting the heads looking for cracks after pressure washing or do I need to take them to a shop and have them magnafluxed or re-surfaced. Thanks for your input on this. Mitch
have the same problem?

Every professional HR manager would smell a top contenderfor a position from a mile away. The bearing, the manner of speaking, the wayquestions are answered; and, of course, how written communications arepresented or provided, all work together to form a profile of the candidate'stotal character. One would have to be a super-sleuth to accomplish such a feat;but it can be done with a few fundamental steps required. Consider the followingsuggestions:
1. Uses the word "I" sparingly
In high school English, our teacher taught us not towrite a whole paragraph with all or most sentences beginning with the word "I".It would seem so obvious to most of us now; but back then, we had no clue. Sucha composition would not work, except for the song "I Believe". It applies inspoken language as well. It either reveals a narcissistic person or a ratherinsecure one. It takes effort not to think of yourself, especially whenapplying for a work and even when you are asked to describe what you are, whatyou know, what you can do and how you see yourself five years from now. If atall, a person who uses the ego-word as sparingly as possible is a creativeperson, not to mention humble.
2. Does not use the word "Uh" so often
We all do it; we must admit. However, it takes consciouseffort and a disciplined mind to eventually remove this word from one'svocabulary. This word reveals a tendency to stall and to improvise, which maybe good; but in the corporate board rooms, it is tantamount to a lawyer runningcircles around a cunning judge. One is liable to be shot down before one getsto one's main point. Most people get stumped because they tend to think of morecomplicated ideas or words. Simple is elegant.
3. Does not know how to use one's hands
Being clumsy is one thing; not being able to use one'shands effectively is another. The former is for kids while the latter separatesthe pros from the non-pros. A company hires you because you are a pro or youhave the making of a pro. Knowing how to use your hands (even where you putthem when you are talking or not talking) can tell people how you learned as achild: whether you were taught properly to cut your nails properly or to tieyour shoes, etc. It ultimately shows whether you have done your assignmentbefore facing the people who matter. Hitler knew how to use his handseffectively. It also showed how he could manipulate (pun intended) peoplearound him. Not that we should mishandle people but that we should at leastknow how to communicate effectively with our whole body, especially with ourhands.
4. Listens with the eyes
We listen with the ears, naturally. But the reallycreative people listen with the eyes. They see people and their eyes catch notjust the words but the whole individual. And just as creative people can seepeople and things beyond appearances, they can also be understood andappreciated as well for more than what they appear to be.
Wallace Associates works with genuine professionals who value their own worth asmuch as those of others. The company gets good reviews for its excellentservice of providing top quality human resource training for their clients.When you know how to pick out the best from a mile away, you can be sure youwill hear no complaint from anyone.

The Scripps Research Institute Scientists Discover Structure of Protein Essential for Quality Control, Nerve Function
Published: Jan 15, 2013
Using an innovative approach, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have determined the structure of Ltn1, a recently discovered "quality-control" protein that is found in the cells of all plants, fungi and animals. Ltn1 appears to be essential for keeping cells' protein-making machinery working smoothly. It may also be relevant to human neurodegenerative diseases, for an Ltn1 mutation in mice leads to a motor-neuron disease resembling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease).

6 Tips to Maximize Your Summer Vacation
Whether you're traveling to another country or just staying close to home, you want to do whatever possible to maximize your experience. We composed a list of six tips to help you get the most of your summer vacation. Read below for our helpful summer tips and tricks to maximize your summer experience. Budget At the beginning of summer, set a goal amount. Estimate it by calculating the cost of all your must-do summer activities (e.g. concerts, water parks, movie releases, and festivals) and any random spur of the moment expenses, include food, clothing, and last minute trips. Ask your bank to open up a savings account specifically for summer adventures. After summer ends, convert your savings account into a winter adventure account. Whimsical savers can instead use a piggy bank or decorative jar as a way to save for their summer goals. Take a certain amount out of the bank each week and add it to the jar. Do not open or break the piggy bank until it's...Read More

Sony's Secret R & D
Car manufacturers show off their concepts at big auto shows to give consumers a glimpse of what might be. Sony recently did a similar thing by opening up their Computer Science Laboraties to show off new technologies that might some day find their way into your everyday life.
One of the more interesting pieces of tech was the 'Music synchronized artistic expressions for Ferrofluid'. Reminds us of grade school science class where you would place metal shavings around a magnet to see the pattern formed....but this one is set to music and embedded in a black oil type substance. How is that for a music visualization?

Joe and Jackee are awesome. They are laid back, calm, cool, and my favorite type of bride and groom. They got married on a rainy Friday night, but they didn't let a little rain get in their way. Surrounded by friends and family, they had a beautiful ceremony and reception at PineCrest Country Club in Lansdale, Pennsylvania.
I think with each wedding I shoot, I'm realizing more and more what my favorite part of the day is. It's the look on the grooms face when he sees his beautiful bride. I know, straight from "27 Dresses," but it's the truth. It just melts your heart to see him standing at the alter, waiting for his best friend to come down the aisle and then the minute he sees her, his eyes light up and he's got a huge smile on his face. It's special and it reminds me why I love my job.
Joe, Jackee- congratulations you two! Enjoy your preview!Jackee's sisters made her a really cool scrapbook that they gave to her, filled with pictures from her childhood up to now.Aren't they a gorgeous couple?!

Martha Stewart's Crepes
This recipe can be used as the basis for any crepe creation.
Level: Moderate
Yield: 32 six-inch or 12 ten-inch crepes
- 1¾ c. all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. Coarse salt
- 2 c. whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2½ oz. unsalted butter (5 tablespoons)
- Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Whisk together milk and eggs in a medium bowl. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture, whisking to combine. Whisk in butter. Strain mixture into a medium bowl, and refrigerate at least 2 hours (or up to 1 day). Batter should be consistency of heavy cream; add more milk if needed.
- Heat an 8- or 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, and brush with butter. Ladle or pour 3 tablespoons batter (for small crepes) or 1/3 cup batter (for large crepes) into pan, turning and tilting skillet to coat bottom evenly with batter. Cook until top of crepe appears set, bottom is firm and golden brown in spots, and center is lifted by pockets of air, about 1 minute.
- Run a spatula around edge of crepe to loosen. Slip spatula under crepe, and gently flip in one swift gesture. (If it doesn't land quite right, that's okay; use spatula to unfold or rearrange it.) Cook until bottom is firm and golden brown in spots, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a plate, and cover. (The first one will not be your finest.) Repeat with remaining batter, brushing pan lightly with butter as needed (every 2 or 3 crepes). Serve immediately.

EDUCATION Minister Leighton Andrews has been urged to take responsibility for his department after a damning assessment of Wales' schools system.
Aled Roberts, Liberal Democrat AM for North Wales, said Estyn's annual report made for "sad reading" and it is incumbent on the Welsh Government to tackle the "underlying weaknesses" highlighted by the inspectorate.
Other politicians, like Plaid Cymru's education spokesman Simon Thomas, warned that failure to ply primary school leavers with expected literacy and numeracy skills would create "significant problems" for the Welsh workforce.
Speaking yesterday in the Assembly's Education Questions, Mr Andrews said the Welsh Government had set out "explicit proposals" designed to raise standards in key skills.
It followed claims made by Ann Keane, in her third annual report as chief inspector of education and training in Wales, that more than half of all primary and secondary schools need to achieve better standards of literacy.
She said standards of writing were a particular concern, with some pupils not given enough opportunity to write independently in different styles and for different purposes.
And although the flagship Foundation Phase is a "success story" and most younger age pupils achieve well, she said a minority – defined by Estyn as being below 40% – struggle to form letters, use punctuation or spell correctly.
She wrote: "While a few schools have excellent skills provision, we need to achieve better standards of literacy in over half of all primary and secondary schools.
"Planning for progression in numeracy skills is at an early stage in many schools. Pupils often lack confidence in their basic number skills, such as division and working with fractions, and are reluctant to apply them to solve problems, particularly in the context of other subjects such as science and technology.
"Leaders need to make improving literacy and numeracy and closing the 'poverty gap' central to their planning. Teachers need to co-ordinate better their plans for developing pupils' skills across the school.
"In only a few secondary schools have well-established groups worked to strengthen literacy skills in subject schemes of work and only a few local authorities have worked with schools to promote good practice in developing literacy and numeracy skills."
She added: "In the 45% of secondary schools where standards are good or excellent, the writing of many is accurate, and only a few pupils make numerous errors in spelling and punctuation. A few of the more able pupils in the good schools do not make as much progress as they should, particularly in developing higher-order reading and writing skills.
"In the 40% of secondary schools where standards are only adequate, and the 14% of schools where standards are unsatisfactory, a significant minority do not read or write well enough. Their writing is often short, features a narrow range of styles and purposes, and contains too many errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar."
Ms Keane said standards of writing are a concern across all sectors but the Welsh Government's new Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF) – and promise of an additional £7m to support it – had the potential to make a big difference.
The literacy component of the LNF sets out expected levels of pupil achievement in reading, writing and oracy, while the numeracy component outlines expectations for developing numerical reasoning and using number, data and measuring skills.
Assessment against the LNF will become a statutory requirement from September 2014. Meanwhile, national reading and numeracy tests, which will help schools in assessing pupils' standards of reading and numeracy, will be taken by pupils from Year Two to Year Nine from May this year.
Ms Keane added: "The national support programme for the LNF has the potential to be influential in building capacity to plan teaching, learning and assessment. Leaders need to change the culture in schools in order to promote these priorities.
"The results of national tests in reading and numeracy for all pupils aged seven to 14 years, to be set from summer 2013, should provide a more coherent set of data for schools to use to compare their reading and numeracy results with those from other schools. The results from the numeracy tests will provide the first national picture of pupils' numeracy abilities."
The role of governors is also scrutinised and Ms Keane said school leaders must do more to address "mediocre" performance and inconsistencies between classes.
She said that line management is often weak and "too many" headteachers are failing to provide enough support for teachers whose work is "barely adequate".
She wrote: "Senior managers have to devote time to matters of corporate governance. They must manage budgets, maintain facilities and plan the deployment of resources.
"They also have to work within statutory and regulatory frameworks that require high standards of compliance. Nevertheless their core business is the delivery of education and training to pupils and other learners.
"Their main focus should be on how they are going to improve learner experiences and outcomes. Providers whose performance in their core business improves have leaders who develop, alongside other staff, a vision for change.
"They underpin that vision using programme and people-management skills of a high order, with which they co-ordinate several different and often interdependent projects and initiatives to do with better delivery of learning.
"There is room for improvement in both general and specific ways. Specifically, in schools, more headteachers need to address mediocre teaching performance robustly.
"Secondary school headteachers need to address shortcomings in the performance of middle and senior leaders. Governors need to develop more expertise and to be more challenging."
Elsewhere in her report, which considers all facets of learning outside university, Ms Keane said competition for learners and funding within the further education sector can mean the needs of students are overlooked.
"Some providers in the past have given a priority to getting learners through as many qualifications as they can in order to maximise the draw-down of funding, without considering the real educational needs of individuals," she said.
"This attitude towards maximising income and attainment rates at the expense of meeting learner and community needs is unacceptable. It means that a college can appear to succeed by generating high rates of attainment for its students while it is not actually enrolling the expected proportions of students from disadvantaged areas, and is not adding as much value as it should to students' previous levels of attainment."
ColegauCymru, the body representing Welsh colleges, said the current funding regime contained "some perverse incentives" but structural changes would help deliver a more integrated "Team Wales" approach.
Chief executive John Graystone said: "I am pleased that the report has also considered structural changes that would benefit learners, recognising that different criteria of success are used to judge different types of post-16 providers.
"Streamlining these structures would help deliver a more integrated 'Team Wales' approach that focuses relentlessly on ensuring that all learners reach their potential."
Shadow Education Minister Angela Burns said the report "reaffirms major concerns" over standards of literacy and numeracy in Welsh schools.
"Our best teachers should be encouraged to share best practice, while the Education Minister needs to adequately resource his reforms and work constructively with teachers to help drive up standards," she said.
Mr Roberts, education spokesman for the Lib Dems, said: "This report makes sad reading about the current state of education in Wales. Following a whole catalogue of numerous initiatives that seemed to have, rather than improved matters, actually made things worse, the Welsh Labour Government must start tackling the underlying weaknesses in our education system.
"Wales is still facing massive problems when it comes to teaching our pupils the basics such as reading, writing and numeracy. Is it any wonder that Wales' economy is lagging behind the rest of the UK when we are not even equipping our pupils the basics before they leave school?
"It is welcome that the Education Minister has in the past recognised the many failings of his party's record in Government but it is now time for him to stand up and take responsibility for his department as we can't allow another generation of Wales' young people to be left behind."
Mr Thomas, AM for Mid and West Wales, said the report highlighted many concerns within the education sector that need to be addressed as a matter of urgency.
"In particular, the report highlights disappointing levels of reading, writing and numeracy," he said.
"Tackling this issue must be a priority for the Education Minister, because we must ensure that almost all children leave primary school with the expected literacy and numeracy levels for an 11-year-old. Failure to ensure this creates significant problems in the workforce in later years."
Speaking before AMs yesterday, Mr Andrews said the new LNF – and underpinning reading and numeracy tests – would be "key to driving up standards". He said that Estyn's chief inspector had welcomed the framework, which would be "the real driver for change" in Welsh schools.
Earlier this week, First Minister Carwyn Jones said he was confident the Welsh Government is "moving in the right direction in terms of providing a good education for the children of Wales".

King Britt – Philadelphia, PA
Words: April Greene | Images: Eilon Paz
ing Britt's real name is King Britt. King James Britt, to be exact. Fitting, as the man's demeanor is royal, his words poetic, and his record collection simply divine.
Sacrilege aside, we did have a glorious day with King. After navigating the unfamiliar Philly subway system on a rainy, windy Sunday afternoon, we alighted from the elevated train in King's Fishtown neighborhood and wound around some blocks of funky corner stores and community gardens to find our man.
King answered the door with a warm smile and we de-shoed in the entryway, then followed him up a flight of stairs. We took seats in the living room, the TV-less epicenter of the beautiful townhouse. Beside a wall's length of bookcases filled with vinyl, the room sang with style – from the big framed black-and-white Michael Halsband photo of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat above the three turntables to the big book of Swoon's artwork on the coffee table to the vintage lightbox ad for Schmidt's beer perched high on a bookshelf.
We chatted easily about his upcoming tour dates and the Philly music scene and Rucyl Mills, a frequent creative collaborator and singer popped in, offering us delicious rooibos blend tea and homemade Quinoa ("Jesus food," as she calls it, I gather for its miraculous blend of nutrition, simplicity, and ease of preparation). He complimented her tea recipe and she blushed; they both grinned with stars in their eyes when Portishead's Sour Times was mentioned – it had been a bonding record during the beginning of their friendship.
For the next four hours, we were like kids in a candy store. King had picked out a small stack of records to share with us before we arrived and we blazed through them, thinking of a thousand other gems as we went. When he wasn't putting needle to wax, King stood sentinel at the bookcases and patiently unshelved LP after LP from his lovingly curated and intelligently broad collection to play for us. He revealed his love for good album art and soundtracks, showed us some of the many scores he made while working at Tower Records in the late '80s, and dug extra deep to find his dad's prized collection of James Brown 45s – for years in heavy rotation at the barber shop he owned.
Along the way, we got some priceless gems:
– King shaking his head with disbelief at the coolness of the DJ Shadow & the Groove Robbers picture disc: "Come on, man!"
– King on the rarity of Sun Ra records: "Any Sun Ra you see, you have to get."
– King on the Tears for Fears record The Hurting: "That got me through high school." (Rucyl would ask us later, "Has he told you about Tears for Fears yet?" causing everyone to crack up.)
We also got to take a trip to King's basement music studio, a cozy enclave housing a couple hundred more records, at least seven different keyboards, and posters of Grace Jones and Cat Power. Eilon asked if he would play a little on the Fender Rhodes, and King humbly scratched his head and mumbled something about how he "just plays around" on keys before taking a seat and immediately endearing himself to us even more with a minute's worth of fluid, melodic phrases just off the dome.
We stayed there, pleasantly suspended in time, looking for Heatwave's Central Heating, one of the first records King ever bought, listening to the quirky Cat Stevens' "Was Dog a Doughnut?" 12-inch, and peeping the awesome taxicab-yellow "Record Burger" mini record player King found in Vancouver for $4 while on tour.
Eventually, we had to make tracks and look for an outdoor place to take some portrait shots. King suggested the street beneath the Market-Frankford line's steel trellis, a path he said he walks almost every day. It was so windy, our jackets blew off the planter we had slung them on, and we had to yell "car!" like Wayne and Garth whenever one approached the photo shoot area, but that was how it should have been: easy, carefree, and a little fantastic. Once the photos were taken, we hugged King goodbye, got a candy bar at the deli, and took the train back to Broad Street, feelin' groovy. Here's to you, King – our favorite nobleman.
Q: What was your first album? How did you get it? At what age? Can you describe that feeling? Do you still have it?
A: It was Heatwave's Central Heating album. I bought it with my first allowance money when I was 9! I was so proud of having it and buying it with my own cash. I do have it although can't put my finger on it.
Q: What prompted you to start collecting? What age did you start? Was there a specific event in your life, or an era, which signified your transition from music lover to collector?
A: My parents were collectors at the time and had vinyl everywhere in the house. My dad would go to the record store a few blocks away to get tunes for his barbershop. They would give me free records and stuff. When I was 6 I got my first turntable (Danny Kaye), that came with like 100 records from Sears. From then on it was on!
Q: Tell us about a few of the first records that heavily influenced you as you developed a musical style of your own.
Talk Talk's Life's What You Make It, has to be one of the illest breaks ever!
Ramsey covers all Beatles songs on this with Rotary Connection's band…damn!
A: All Herbie Hancock and Doug Carne records. Then moving onto Sun Ra and then the 80s…Trevor Horn and ZTT label were HUGE influences.
Q: What was your Initial interest in music?
A: I was born into it with my parents. Dad – Funk Mom- Jazz, so it was natural.
Q: Can you describe your family musical background and it's affect on you?
A: My parents didn't believe in babysitters, so they would take me to all the shows. I saw every funk and soul act. My mom had all the jazz records and would take me to see Sun Ra all the time. She still has signed Sun Ra albums somewhere in her house, which I'm not allowed to touch.
My dad had a barbershop and would buy records weekly for the vibe there. James Brown was the biggest records there. I still hear the sounds of clippers when I hear a JB record. I inherited all his 45s.
Thanks mom!
Thanks dad!
Q: Why vinyl?
A: We had vinyl and 8 track growing up. Something about the feel of vinyl and the size of the album covers!!!
Q: Can you describe your current digging habits these days? Have they changed during the years?
A: Yes they have changed big time. There was a time, I wouldn't care how much a record is. Then it was more about 'ego' than the process. Now if its over $3 I don't bother really. I'm digging more for sounds and textures to include in production, not so much records to play anymore, although I come across many.
Q: Do you have a record collecting philosophy or routine when you enter a store/flea market?
A: No. I just dig in.
Q: You toured with Digable Planets for two years – did you use that time on the road to look for records in different places? If so, how did that affect your collection? How did it affect your own music?
Original tour vinyl for Digable Planets first tour….cherished!
A: Hell yes. That was my first time touring the world, other than going to UK. I had all my connections from Tower Records (I was buyer) and when we would go to each city, I would call up those labels and go and get promos. At the same time, hitting all the dope stores worldwide!
Q: Did you contribute any of your own vinyl records to the production of Digable Planets' albums?
A: No actually, it was all Butterfly's collection (Ishmael). The whole concept and everything was his ….
Q: The Cosmic Lounge: how was this idea conceived? Can you show us a few records you used for it?
A: I had an idea of putting a compilation together called The Cosmic Lounge (which is from my Sylk130 project). A collection of my favorite free jazz artists. BBE was down with it and we did it. It was a bit difficult to clear a few things but all in all I loved it (except the cover)
Some of the joints from the Cosmic Lounge compilation!
Philly legend Monet Sudler…one bad ass lady!
Flora Purim…the one and only!
Q: The Sister Gertrude Morgan album: can you tell us about this concept and show us some albums related to it?
This is the original pressing…only 100 made.
A: She was a famous folk painter (Smithsonian/Folk Art Museum) and evangelist who thought she was the bride of Christ. She would stand on a corner in the French Quarter in NOLA and preach with a tamborine. Preservation Hall went on to record her in 1970 and release Lets Make a Record.
In 2005 Andy Horivitz from Rope-A-Dope thought it would be amazing for me to re-produce the album in today's context and not just vocal/tamborine of the original.
It went on to be huge and was featured in everything from Miami Vice (Michael Mann) to True Blood (HBO). And its still going strong!
We toured Europe with the project as well.
I now only have what I need.
Metalheadz Unite!
Picture disks have always been a passion since I was little but sold a lot of them to play video arcade games back in the day. But the ones I have are more recent but rare.
Cmon son… Dave Grusin soundtrack for 3 Days of the Condor …what!
Futura x UNKLE … $$
One of my first record when I was a kid. It's a narration!
Soundtracks man…check the top one…lol
Thanks to dj Mochizuki in Japan for the original Ultraman!
One of the best and longest electronic tunes ever…
Library records always have fun breaks. They were used mainly for radio jocks to talk over or for commercials. The Producer series is ill!
Tito Puente signed my NuYorican Soul Box Set before he passed. Rest in Power
It was wild to find out this is Jean Grae's mom. Respect!
Q: Who has the toughest record collection that you have ever seen?

There were a lot of familiar records that we both cherish deeply, like the Doug/Jean Carn and all the other artists on that Black Jazz, Strata-East, Tribe Records label.
By me doing a jazz show at WKDU it allows me to keep these gems fresh in the minds of my devoted listeners and utilize these grooves as educational material of what real and spiritual jazz is.
Just like you, I've been collecting since the age of 11 and was always fascinated by albums so to read this interview it kind of hits home and nothing is better than finding a good piece of music on vinyl. it's the ultimate high.
Keep doing what you're doing in this music game and stop by the station sometimes so we can rap a taste.

OTTAWA, March 21, 2016 /CNW/ - On March 22nd, WaterAid will mark World Water Day by releasing "Water: At what cost? The State of the World's Water". The report examines the most difficult places in the world for people to get clean water and reveals how the world's poorest often pay far more of their income for water than those in the developed world. WaterAid's analysis shows that in the developed world, a standard water bill is as little as 0.1% of the income of someone earning minimum wage. However, in a country like Madagascar, a person reliant on a tanker truck for their water supply would spend as much as 45% of their daily income on water to get the recommended daily minimum supply.
Worldwide, 650 million people do not have access to safe water and more than 2.3 billion do not have access to basic sanitation, with devastating results.

Key resources
Satellite haemodialysis treatment has been provided in the Kimberley region of Western Australia (WA) since the Kimberley Satellite Dialysis Centre (KSDC) opened in October 2002. The KSDC is run by the Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services Council (KAMSC) with assistance from the Rural Clinical School of Western Australia, Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA), and the Royal Perth Hospital (RPH). The KSDC undertook a project that aimed to:
KAMSC and RPH retrospectively identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients of Kimberley origin, and analysed secondary data from ANZDATA. This group was compared with other Australian patients receiving haemodialysis treatment from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2007. The report produced was the first showing similar mortality rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people exclusively from a remote area of Australia, and non-Indigenous Australians receiving haemodialysis treatment.

I have been anticipating this shoot since March, when Courtney was picked as one of the winners of my blog relaunch giveaway. She and her husband Matt have two adorable babies… Titus & Mercy. We waited until Mercy was able to sit up for their session, and about two weeks ago, I was finally able to capture this beautiful family. Matt & Courtney are such incredible and godly parents, and their love for Titus & Mercy had me majorly cheesing the whole session. Enjoy my favorites!
Mercy has the most BEAUTIFUL brown eyes and craziest eyelashes I have ever seen.
She's such a heartbreaker already!
Titus is such a sweet big brother…
Gah! Cuteness overload.
Love that scrunchy nose smile!
Seriously… Those lashes. Matt, you are in trouble.
Love these next few!
So sweet. :)
Every time Matt would kiss Mercy, she would start clapping. Flippin' adorable!
Just a little dancing. :)
This kid LOVES his mamma!
I might have had a slight heart attack when this happened. Haha. But seriously…
At the end of the session, I spent some time with just Matt & Courtney. Ya'll know I'm all about that!
Thank you, perfect lighting!
These last three are my favorites! :)
Happy Monday! :)

The guys from Car and Driver have fully tested the Audi S5. Here's their result!
And it has been plugged by a machine that delivers the sex appeal that is a coupe's major reason for being. The S5's combination of big grille, rakish roofline, and artfully sculpted character lines will turn heads with regularity. And inside, the S5 provides perhaps the most engaging experience since the original TT.
But even those figures don't reveal the silkiness and captivating appeal of the S5's powertrain. When you drive with the windows down around town, you hear a terrific V-8 burble from the quad exhaust pipes. When feeling lazy, you can almost forget about shifting because the engine will take full throttle at 1000 rpm in sixth gear perfectly smoothly. And at any speed, the V-8 spins with an eager and refined hum.

What's a suitable punishment(18 Posts)
I was away for weekend. Darling child decided they would have a 16th birthday party in our house [I'm seperated so house of me and my 16yr old] House trashed - new carpets needed. They've been in loft - hole in ceiling. Booze that was presents to me drunk [though they had been sitting there for years]. Darling 16yo roped their mum into coming round to help tidy up [I'm not the tidiest of dads] on the pretext of doing something nice for me when really they wanted house tidy for party.
My ex did a stunning job of clearing up after the party before I got back, for which I am unbelievably grateful. Darling 16yo is in her bad books becasue she lied about what was going on, and also becasue of the irresponsbility of it.
As I was writing this I was phoned by 16yo - had a long conversation. Bottom line of that is despite my disapointment with darling 16yo I'm still their dad and I may feel at the mo that I really dont want to see them, but I got to get over that cause I have an important role. And there is a longer story there too but that's not what this thread is about.
Really what this post is about though is what is a reasonable punishment. Ex and I have already told 16yo what the punishment we feel is appropriate but I'm not sure if we are being too harsh. So what punishment would you impose [said punishment can have several parts to it if you want]
TBH if my 16 yo did this she/he would be selling everything they had of value to pay for the repairs/replacements. Mobile phone, games consul, the lot would go!
Do they (I'm not sure if your talking about i or 2 people) have a part time job, savings etc If so I would be having that as well.
Please bear in mind though, that although I have 3 adult DC I have never been in this position so I can only say what I think I would do.
I asked ds (also 16) what would be fair. His answer - 'she fucked up. She has to pay.' (new carpet, mending hole in ceiling, alcohol, the lot.)
According to ds if she hasn't got a job, she needs to get one now.
I would suggest some unpaid labour - cleaning, lawn mowing, car washing etc for both you and your ex.
I would decide how many "jobs" you think are appropriate to pay off the "debt" eg 10, and make a chart so that they can be crossed off as they are completed. I think teens need definite timescales/boundaries for punishments - they need to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel otherwise it's likely to have a negative effect.
I would probably also say no social life until all tasks have been completed - no parties, sleepovers, shopping etc and maybe limited phone/ computer access of 1 hr per evening until punishment is completed too.
I think this is a win/win - they have to suffer but within reason. You get some jobs done. Hopefully they learn their lesson and gain a little maturity and perspective, which you sort if hope is the point of discipline in the first place
*sort of hope
Thanks for comments - the punishment their mother and I agreed on [ps only one 16yo] was grounded till after christmas, no pocket money - its going towards carpets and no internet these too till after christmas.
Too harsh? Suppose there is always possibility of early parole for good behaviour. That said 16yo is usually pretty good but has breached out trust with this
"breached our trust" that should be
Not too harsh. Unless you are unreasonably generous with her pocket money, it isn't going to pay for the damage, is it? I would actually consider not giving her any more pocket money until it has amounted to the cost of repairs. I'd put it in a separate bank account and not tell her, put it aside to reward her for something later in life. (Money towards first car or new clothes when she gets first full time job.)
I would want to do something which would get through to her the true cost of the damage she has cause.
Of course, the real damage is one of betrayal of trust. Just would not trust her with a key to your place, or be able to stay there when you are not there.
She needs to pay for it.
Oh yes and she doesn't get to stay on her own without lots of supervision and no key.
Bloody hell, how awful
Are there any extenuating circumstances? Did things get out of hand? Was your DD scared/ intimidated?
How remorseful / regretful is she?
What does she consider a fair solution?
Will her friends pitch in to help ?
I would factor all of the above into my eventual decision.
My initial thoughts are that grounding till Christmas is too harsh. Will seem like a life sentence to her and exclude her from friends and positive influences.
I don't know about grounding, but no privileges and pocket money for sure. At some point she's too old to punish, need to transition to treating like, I dunno, an young adult who you're kindly looking after.
A lot depends on her attitude. Is she sorry? Did it get out of hand- was it completely her "fault" or did she have gatecrashers/people who got drunk and she couldn't stop them?
Oh dear, I know exactly how you feel, this happened to us with our 17 year old son, he and his friends trashed the place, the thing I was most upset about was my flowers in the garden they had all been sat upon and ruined, months of nurturing! I hit him many times with a feather duster as he did not even clean up properly and was a bit rude when we told him off I sort of lost it really as I was trying to clean up HIS mess, not the best idea I have ever had but we do laugh about it now. He had to pay nearly 500 quid for all the damage but as we own a business we made him work there till it was paid off, he was crap but we had to do it to save face, actually caused more work at the factory than he did, but there has to be a punishment. I think it hurts when you realise that they just have absolutely no respect for your things and that takes some mending. FWIW I think your punishment is spot on, unless you have a feather duster!! Good luck with the grounding, I hate keeping that up as it means you have them there till Christmas under your feet!
Yep, I agree that truly grounding her isn't really going to help at all. Certainly don't let her have another party at your place (even if you're there) beyond Christmas, and if she's allowed to go to other parties, then a strict curfew at about 11pm (My 15 yo has just gone from 10 pm curfew to 11pm, so 11pm seems a fair step down for a 16yo to me.) I'd also make sure that she isn't going to any house parties where the home owner isn't there! Let her go to her usual after school clubs, shopping trips with friends and that kind of thing though.
Come to think of it, I would want to know how the hole in the ceiling came about and who was involved, and have a friendly, supportive chat to the parents of others there. Not to get the cost of repairs from them, but to make them aware of the consequences of letting them go to parties like that, without checking with the home owner/parents first. Also to make better links with the families of the children she's mixing with.
One of my friends had a 2 week party at 17 when his parents went away, including a bomb-making session in the garage. This was before I knew him, but his father bought him a 1-way ticket to the other end of Europe. Where he got put in jail for petty thefts and had some interesting buggering experiences, and eventually made his way home and became a responsible adult (in time).
For me it would depend how typical this was for a teen, for my friend it was highly typical and one of many problems.
But if my current teen, who's terribly well behaved, did something like that, I'd think it had been out-of-character peer pressure and maybe not be totally tough if they were upset and unlikely to do it again.
Ah - what I've discovered I should have added was that gorunding to me meant grounding except going to positive things - i.e playing at orchestra at weekend morning rehersals, going to scouts and being a young leader at cubs once a week.
Other than that (and school obviously) gorunding to me is a 24 hour curfew! An other parent suggested to me that that was a bit too harsh - that it shoudl just be an evening/night time curfew and that at weekends they should be allowed out to see friends during the day [if only for the benifit of the sanaity of the parents not having to put up with board teenager!] - I'm not convinced. Your experience/wisdom please!
Oh and despite ban on internet seems mother may be allowing facebook access - that's one fo the thinsg I want explicitly banned as part of "no internet" - who is right: me or mother?
I would say your idea of grounding sounds good. Let her go to her activities so her punishment doesn't affect other people (like the kids she looks after at cubs and her orchestra etc.). A full-on ban of everything out of school would (I think) wear you down eventually and make you give in to it much more easily. I would, however, maybe give some leeway in a month or so if she shows true remorse to allow her to gain your trust back.
If you follow through with a total internet ban, you need to be prepared to confiscate her phone (or give her a cheap one with no internet), her iPod if she has one, computer, tablet, etc etc. I assume you're banning it because she loves the internet and it's something she'll "feel" if she loses it! But a ban should mean a ban - Facebook is still the internet, so no internet should mean no Facebook!

In 1954 the four Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland arranged what proved to be the most important marketing effort ever for Scandinavian design—the monumental exhibition Design in Scandinavia. From 1954 to 1957 Design in Scandinavia toured the United States and Canada. The exhibition was presented in 27 cities, and it was a huge success, initiated by The Danish Society of Arts and Crafts and its sister organizations in the other participating countries.
Based on the success the four countries established what they called the Scandinavian Design Cavalcade, which had a lot of US press coverage as well. In that connection the July 1959 issue of House Beautiful was centered around The Scandinavian Look in U.S. Homes, and it was Denmark and Danish Design in particular that the magazine focussed on. Besides the editorial pages, the numerous ads illustrates that Danish modern furniture was increasingly gaining a stronghold among certain groups of American consumers.
Importers and retail chains like John Stuart Inc., George Tanier, Raymor and Dunbar etc. now sold Danish modern furniture in the US, and by now it was not only hand crafted furniture from the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibitions but also pieces from industrial furniture producers like Fritz Hansen, Søborg Møbelfabrik, Fredericia Furniture and many others. From the end of the 1950s Danish Department stores and other retailers produced comprehensive brochures and booklets in English with prices in US Dollars presenting Danish Design to American and other tourists.
Without exception, these stores all presented the narrative of Danish modern. "Denmark is known all over the world for its exquisite home furnishing, which are characterized by their outstanding design and superb craftsmanship" the department store Magasin claimed in its brochure "Danish Design."
