Education encompasses teaching and learning particular abilities, and in addition one thing less tangible but more profound: the imparting of information , constructive judgment and well-developed wisdom Education has as considered one of its fundamental aspects the imparting of culture from era to generation (see socialization ), but it more refers back to the formal strategy of instructing and studying found within the faculty surroundings. Nonetheless, education continues to be seen by many as something aimed at youngsters, and grownup education is often branded as adult learning or lifelong studying. Select books for your little one based mostly on the words that they are learning in school. Educators – teachers, lecturers' aides, and everybody who supports our children at college, from the bus drivers to the secretaries to the college nurses – answer a call to service.
There are lots of definitions of education however in a easy way, education is an act or technique of passing on or gaining common information, constructing the ability to cause and decide, and generally coaching oneself or others mentally for matured life. With stories and games stuffed with fun, quirky characters, children can fall in love with studying. The Division for Education is chargeable for youngsters's providers and education, together with early years, faculties, greater and further education policy, apprenticeships and wider skills in England.
She acquired her education at private schools. Yet, for many of them, education doesn't lead to studying.

Answers and Rationale
1. Answer: C. Place in respiratory isolation
The initial therapeutic management of acute bacterial meningitis includes isolation precautions, initiation of antimicrobial therapy and maintenance of optimum hydration. Nurses should take necessary precautions to protect themselves and others from possible infection.
2. Answer: D. Contact isolation
Contact or Body Substance Isolation (BSI) involves the use of barrier protection (e.g. gloves, mask, gown, or protective eyewear as appropriate) whenever direct contact with any body fluid is expected. When determining the type of isolation to use, one must consider the mode of transmission. The hands of personnel continues to be the principal mode of transmission for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Because the organism is limited to the sputum in this example, precautions are taken if contact with the patient"s sputum is expected. A private room and BSI, along with good hand washing techniques, are the best defense against the spread of MRSA pneumonia.
3. Answer: B. A positive PPD with an abnormal chest x-ray
The client who must be placed in airborne precautions is the client with a positive PPD (purified protein derivative) who has a positive x-ray for a suspicious tuberculin lesion.
4. Answer: A. Handwashing
Handwashing remains the most effective way to avoid spreading infection. However, too often nurses do not practice good handwashing techniques and do not teach families to do so. Nurses need to wash their hands before and after touching the client and before entering the nursing bag.
5. Answer: B. Droplet nuclei.
Hands are the primary method of transmission of the common cold. The most frequent means of transmission of the tubercle bacillus is by droplet nuclei. The bacillus is present in the air as a result of coughing, sneezing, and expectoration of sputum by an infected person. The tubercle bacillus is not transmitted by means of contaminated food. Contact with contaminated food or water could cause outbreaks of salmonella, infectious hepatitis, typhoid, or cholera. The tubercle bacillus is not transmitted by eating utensils. Some exogenous microbes can be transmitted via reservoirs such as linens or eating utensils.
6. Answer: D. Pad the side rails of his bed.
Preparing for routine laboratory studies is not as high a priority as preventing injury and promoting safety. Preparing for routine laboratory studies is not as high a priority as preventing injury and promoting safety. A cooling blanket must be ordered by the physician and is usually not used unless other methods for the reduction of fever have not been successful. The child has a diagnosis of febrile seizures. Precautions to prevent injury and promote safety should take precedence.
7. Answer: B. "If any healed areas break open I should first cover them with a sterile dressing and then report it."
Bathing or showering in the usual manner is permitted, using a mild detergent soap such as Ivory Snow. This cleanses the wounds, especially those that are still open, and removes dead tissue. The client is taught to report changes in wound healing such as blister formation, signs of infection, and opening of a previously healed area. Sterile dressings are applied until the wound is assessed and a plan of care developed. The Jobs garment is designed to place constant pressure on the new healthy tissue that is forming to promote adherence to the underlying structure in order to prevent hypertrophic scarring. In order to be effective, the garment must be worn for 23 hours daily. It is removed for wound assessment and wound care and to permit bathing. The client must be aware that infection of the wound may occur; signs of infection, including fever, redness, pain, warmth in and around the wound and increased or foul smelling drainage must be reported immediately.
8. Answer: D. speak soothingly and provide quiet music.
The client needs frequent visits by the staff to orient him and to assess his safety. Phone calls from his family will not help a client who is trying to climb over the side rails and may even add to his danger. Putting the client in a bright, busy area would probably add to his confusion. The environment is an important factor in the prevention of injuries. Talking softly and providing quiet music have a calming effect on the agitated client.
9. Answer: B. "I told my daughter who is pregnant to either come to see me tonight or wait until I go home from the hospital."
The client will be on a clear liquid or very low residue diet. Hamburgers and french fries are not allowed. People who are pregnant should not come in close contact with someone who has internal radiation therapy. The radioactivity could possibly damage the fetus. This statement is not true. As soon as the radiation source is removed (probably 36 to 72 hours after insertion), the client is no longer contaminated with radioactivity. Craft projects usually require the client to sit. The client must remain flat with very little head elevation during the time the rods are in place.
10. Answer: C. A nurse with open, weeping lesions of the hands puts on gloves before giving direct client care.
There is no need to wear gloves when feeding a client. However, universal precautions (treating all blood and body fluids as if they are infectious) should be observed in all situations. A client with active tuberculosis should be on respiratory precautions. Having the client wear a mask when leaving his private room is appropriate. Persons with exudative lesions or weeping dermatitis should not give direct client care or handle client-care equipment until the condition resolves. Strict isolation requires the use of mask, gown, and gloves.
11. Answer: D. interrupt the procedure to inform the nurse of the need to wash her hands after removal of the dirty dressing and gloves.
Nonsterile gloves are adequate to remove the old dressing. However, the use of sterile gloves does not put the client in danger so discussion of this can wait until later. The staff nurse is doing two things incorrectly. Nonsterile gloves are adequate to remove the old dressing. The nurse should wash her hands after removing the soiled dressing and before donning sterile gloves to clean and dress the wound. The nurse should wash her hands after removing the soiled dressing and before donning the sterile gloves to clean and dress the wound. Not doing this compromises client safety and should be brought to the immediate attention of the nurse. The staff nurse is doing two things incorrectly.

Not doing this compromises client safety and should be brought to the immediate attention of the nurse.
12. Answer: A. Correct illumination of the environment.
To prevent falls, the environment should be well lighted. Night lights should be used if necessary. Other factors to assess include removing loose scatter rugs, removing spills, and installing handrails and grab bars as appropriate. The amount of regular exercise is not the most important factor to assess. It is only indirectly related. The resting pulse rate is not related to preventing falls. The salt intake is not directly related to preventing falls.
13. Answer: C. "If I question the sterility of any dressing material, I should not use it."
Anything dropped on the floor is no longer sterile and should not be used. The statement indicates lack of understanding. Anything dropped on the floor is no longer sterile and should not be used. The statement indicates lack of understanding. If there is ever any doubt about the sterility of an instrument or dressing, it should not be used. The 4 X 4s should be soaked prior to donning the sterile gloves. Once the sterile gloves touch the bottle of normal saline they are no longer sterile. This statement indicates a need for further instruction.
14. Answer: B. Gloves should be worn for contact with nonintact skin, mucous membranes, or soiled items.
Masks should only be worn during procedures that are likely to cause splashes of blood or body fluid. Gloves should be worn for all contact with blood and body fluids, non intact skin and mucous membranes; for handling soiled items; and for performing venipuncture. Gowns should be worn during procedures that are likely to cause splashes of blood or body fluids. A private room is only indicated if the client's hygiene is poor.
15. Answer: C. An assistant puts on a mask and protective eye wear before assisting the nurse to suction a tracheostomy.
Needles that have been used to draw blood should not be recapped. If it is necessary to recap them, an instrument such as a hemostat should be used to recap. The hand should never be used. Gloves are not necessary when feeding, since there is no contact with mucous membranes. Although saliva may have small amounts of HIV in it, the virus does not invade through unbroken skin. There is no evidence in the question to indicate broken skin. Masks and protective eye wear are indicated anytime there is great potential for splashing of body fluids that may be contaminated with blood. Suctioning of a tracheostomy almost always stimulates coughing, which is likely to generate droplets that may splash the health care worker. Clients who are suctioned frequently or have had an invasive procedure like a tracheostomy are likely to have blood in the sputum. There is no reason to restrict pregnant workers from caring for persons with AIDS as long as they utilize universal precautions.
16. Answer: A. Bathing together.
Direct contact is the mode of transmission for staphylococcus. Staph is not spread by coughing. Staph is not spread through oral secretions. Direct contact is required. Staph is not spread through oral secretions.
17. Answer: A. verbalizes the role of sexual activity in spread of the disorder.
HIV is spread through direct contact with body fluids such as blood and through sexual intercourse. Casual contact with other people does not pose a risk of transmission of HIV. Unless the client is feeling very ill, there is no need for him to drop his college classes. Contact sports are not contraindicated unless there is a significant chance of bleeding and direct contact with others. Casual contact with other people does not pose a risk of transmission of HIV . There is no need to limit casual contact with children.
18. Answer: D. How old were you when you became sexually active?
Drug use is a risk factor for AIDS. Multiple sex partners is a risk factor for AIDS. Birth control methods are important to prevent a baby from being born with the AIDS virus. The age at which sexual activity began it not relevant as it does not usually provide information that identifies the presence of risk factors for AIDS.
19. Answer: C. maneuvering safely after orientation to the room.
Independently ambulating around the unit is not appropriate because the unit environment can change and injury could result. Assistance is necessary because of the client's visual deficit. It is unlikely the client can see well enough to read the materials. Maneuvering safely after orientation to the room is a realistic goal for a person with impaired vision. Orienting the client to the room should help the client to move safely. Using the bedpan is an unnecessary restriction on the client as she can be oriented to the bathroom or to call for assistance.
20. Answer: A. Prevent metabolic breakdown of xanthine to uric acid
The massive cell destruction resulting from chemotherapy may place the client at risk for developing renal calculi; adding allopurinol decreases this risk by preventing the breakdown of xanthine to uric acid. Allopurinol doesn't act in the manner described in the other options.

The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047 - Lionel Shriver
The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047 - Lionel Shriver *****
The impending collapse of America (who cares about the rest of the world?) has been speculated on quite a lot in recent fiction, whether it's from viral, environmental or meteorological catastrophe, global warming resulting in the melting of icecaps and flooding, or in the drying up of scarce water resources. Sometimes it's a double or triple-whammy of one or more of these factors combining in quick succession. Whatever the reason, it soon becomes clear that the social balance that supports civilisation is a fragile one and what lies on the other side of it is frightening. The pending collapse of the world (read: American) economy might seem like it's a much less interesting prospect for a novel, albeit the one most likely to happen in the immediate future, but it has the potential to be just as devastating. It might be hard to really care however that those who will be hit hardest are those with the most to lose - the richest one percent.
Initially then, Lionel Shriver's contribution to this growing genre of apocalyptic science-fiction isn't able to readily engage the reader's involvement, but in a way this matches the trajectory as the novel follows in the fortunes - or the loss of fortunes - of the Mandible family over the years of the great American crash from 2029 to 2047. Initially there's frustration and denial, an awful lot of hand-wringing, blaming and scapegoating. Accordingly, it doesn't make great reading at first and even Lionel Shriver's characters admit that no-one is going to be interested in "whining and carping and hand-wringing from a bunch of spoiled affluent white folks". You're not wrong there.
There's a lot of speculative but plausible and well-researched economic theory in the early part of the novel but it feels shoe-horned unnaturally into every conversation. The Mandibles are a pretty obnoxius bunch who expound at length on the circumstances that have seen their fortune and inheritance dwindle as the American dollar devalues in 2029 - despite having rallied a little after the near-collapse of 2024. It's hard to care (and that's probably the intention) when the Mandible children bemoan what has happened to their expected inheritance, or when their precocious offspring balk at the loss of their privileged lifestyles, educational opportunities and the ability to obtain expensive imported delicatessen. How will they survive without Japanese rice vinegar and bluefin tuna? Oh, the inhumanity! One thing is for sure, as everyone downsizes and the kids' colleges are reappraised, the cases of expensive wine will probably be the last thing to go.
It's funny because it's probably true that humanity will grasp to the little luxuries they believe they've worked so hard to acquire. Schriver doesn't invite you to sympathise then, but it's not entirely a case of gleeful schadenfraude at the eventual comeuppance of those who have previously shown no care or interest whatsoever in those who have never had the same benefits or opportunities. She is judicious in her choice of mainly academic careers that the Mandibles see become an irrelevance as the demand (unsurprisingly) drops for economics professors in tenure at elite American universities.
As for writers ...well, the decline of libraries, print media and people actually buying books means that they haven't been relevant for a long time. They're not going to be much use when it comes to providing for the necessities when currency goes down the plughole. Again, if this feels like clever literary self-reflexion and self-deprecation on the part of Shriver, putting economists on the same level as writers - particularly those of apocalyptic fiction - it's for a reason. No-one really takes heed of doomsayers either, and, even if they did, knowing that the truck is coming won't stop it from blindsiding you, as Great Grand Man Mandible notes at one point.
On the subject of great prophets of the apocalypse, I think J.G. Ballard would have taken a perverse pleasure wallowing in the proximity of the incipient disaster that now seems inevitable. Not from a 'told you so' doomsayer visionary point of view in the traditional sense of predicting what the future holds in store, but from what now can be recognised as his perceptive and visionary insights into psychopathological impulses of the individuals within the artificial construct of society. If the collapse of traditional social values was a constant theme with Ballard, one of which he had direct experience watching the niceties of civilised behaviour break down while in a Japanese prisoner of war camp, Ballard's writing went far beyond observation of what humans do to survive. As can be seen from the recent film version of High Rise, what Ballard observed was that the barely-concealed savagery within people that is brought out in such extreme conditions doesn't necessarily have need the stimulus of societal collapse, but rather there's an almost pathological relish at the prospect and a headlong rush to actively seek it out.
While I don't think Shriver is as daring and experimental as Ballard she is clearly brilliantly attuned to the workings of the affluent-white-American mindset (and the nature of writers) and how they will almost perversely be the willing agents of their own destruction. And, to be fair, she explores Americans' response to deprivation with a lot more obvious humour and writing flair than Ballard could ever have done. Her writing is at her best as she describes that declining state of affairs that drive the formerly rich Mandibles from denial to recognition, imagining every little deprivation suffered by them, every petty indignity, finding witty expressions and juxtapositions, almost gleefully detailing their decline in petty squabbles over luxuries versus necessities with incisive and insightful observations.
So what use is The Mandibles? Does it have any lessons to impart that might help safeguard us from the inevitable collapse of society as we know it? As witty and realistic as Shriver's account is of the failure of the capitalist system that she brilliantly terms "The American Experiment", the suspicion of it being merely a literary exercise persists. "There's a great book in this upheaval", GGM observes, "For most people, what lies outside our front door is tragedy. For Enola [his writer daughter], it's material". It's material too for Shriver is the obvious oh-so-clever implication, and she relishes the opportunity it provides to make wryly amusing observations, playing imaginatively with the language needed to describe events and situations that have yet to come to pass, but which will inevitably happen in some form or other. The implication however, as the use and manipulation of language indicates, is that the 'material' is already there, Shriver observing that the freedoms we give up to 'the system' today - to technology, to business and to the government - will influence the ease with which we submit to the inevitable tomorrow.
And if the novel seems America-centric, well there's a good reason for that too - and it's well backed up with all the economic theory. If it's the richest who are going to take the biggest hit when economic confidence fails, it will be America that is hit the hardest. As the Mandibles discover, you soon find out who your friends are when it comes down to the crunch, and as it stands, America hasn't been doing all that great at making friends around the world lately. While Shriver might indeed be getting in there just under the wire then with the Great American Disaster Novel while people still read "stained wood pulp", The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047 is not just a literary exercise in premonitory apocalyptica, it's not a gleeful demolition of the indulgences and delusions of the wealthy elite, and it's not a survivalist exploration of the human capacity to adapt and rebuild. Well, it is all those things and the post-capitalism/post-American/post-economy landscape that Shriver goes on to depict is an interesting one, but hopefully there's a bit more to the novel than that too.
You might not particularly care about how the various members of the über-rich Mandible family cope, and you might not agree that Shriver's reading of the outcome of the direction we are all heading in the future is a plausible one, but The Mandibles is not just a literary exercise in a growing genre of disaster fiction. Like the best science-fiction Shriver's latest novel ought to give the reader pause to consider that we choices we make today will determine the kind of future we deserve tomorrow.

The MD 46 is a high-quality reporter's microphone with cardioid pick-up pattern. It has been specially optimised for rough use in live reporting and broadcasting environments. The MD 46 is a very 'good-natured' microphone whose design avoids wind and handling noise problems. Colour: black, sound inlet basket: refined steel, black.
ply sound inlet basket provides increased protection from wind and pop noise
metal housing
mount capsule ensures low sensitivity to handling noise
up pattern ensures excellent speech intelligibility even with high ambient noise levels
Clearly, the MD46 is a top-class ENG/reporter microphone. It is a truly professional instrument which will last for years. As with all Sennheiser equipment, you will have to pay an initial premium purchase price, this is insignificant when one accepts the microphone will last for many years of hard use. I would also consider the MD46 as an excellent tool for a podcasting studio. Superb and rich voice reproduction is equal to many 400 pounds 'studio' voice microphones.

She is seeking blue! It's been less than a month since Christina El Moussa announced her pregnancy with husband, Ant Anstead, and her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa has now mistakenly revealed the sex of the baby.
The Flip or Flop star, 37, told TMZ that his and his ex-wife's relationship was strained after their split in December 2016, but he said that "things are good today."
He added, "She's remarried, she's actually pregnant — everybody knows that."
However, he unexpectedly revealed the sex of Christina and Ant's first child together, telling the outlet, "She's having a son."
The television personality continued,
My kids are super excited. I'm excited for her new chapter in life. And they're a great couple and I really do hope the best for them.
A representative for the actress confirmed to media that she is expecting a boy, saying,
While Christina and Ant wished they could have shared the news themselves, they are very excited to welcome a baby boy in the fall.
As we previously reported, Christina shared an Instagram post on March 22 to announce that she and Ant are expecting their first child together, featuring a photo of the couple holding a sonogram image.
The actress already has a daughter Taylor El Moussa, 8, and son Brayden El Moussa, 3, with Tarek.
Ant, meanwhile, shares two kids; Amelie Anstead, 15, and Archie Anstead, 12, with his ex-wife Louise Anstead.
We are eagerly waiting for the birth of the upcoming addition to the family.

Here's a secret about family vacations: they aren't just a break. Everyone thinks of vacations as a break. And they ARE a break from normal routine. But most families don't do well with nothing on the agenda of a vacation. Vacation is actually a time to reconnect doing different things in different places compared to your normal schedule. You will want to foster connection as a family on your international vacation. These connections are what make the best memories. How do you connect with your kids on vacation? Here are our top 8 ways:
Try Something New
Vacation means getting out of the norm. Great connections can happen by experiencing something new together. We recommend doing something unique to the area you are visiting…whatever that area is "known" for and is also age-appropriate. Even trying a new food or restaurant can be amazing. All-inclusive resorts or cruises are especially great at letting kids try new foods without the worry that they won't like it.
Try Something Old
Maybe it's an activity you used to do together…like bike riding. Or, maybe there was a special place you ate at during a previous vacation. Maybe you always try the ice cream or hot sauce in every country you visit. Maybe you always send a post to Grandma. Memories are often built on repetition and themes within a family. It links trips and memories together over the years. Familiarity can also be of great comfort to kids who are traveling internationally and prevent feeling overwhelmed. So, don't be afraid to pick a cherished activity that you try in different places.
Learn Something Together
Travel is a classroom for real life. There are so many things to learn from other places and cultures. Learning together can be an amazing experience. A good guide can make art or history come alive for a family. Or, a fun activity like a kid-friendly cooking class gives you souvenir that you can bring home and enjoy again and again! Teach kids to be curious about the places they visit and they will learn far more than a textbook could ever teach them.
Be Careful with Suprises
International travel can mean a lot of new things for kids. While this can be exciting, it can also be stressful. We recommend balancing familiar things with exploration of different cultures. Surprises can be a lot of fun and a great way to connect with your kids…like arranging an activity that a child has always wanted to do or seeing a place they have always looked at in pictures. However, kids can be inconsistent and get overwhelmed. You may be so excited for a surprise that you are unprepared for a child's sudden fear or unwillingness to participate (especially if it was expensive). Kids can surprise YOU. So, make sure that you plan surprises carefully and if at all possible with some flexibility for patience built in. You may even want the "surprise" to be in advance of the trip so the child has time to prepare and learn before the experience.
Embrace Changes
Travel comes with a certain amount of unexpected changes. Sometimes a flight is delayed. Sometimes a room has to be moved. Sometimes a museum closes early or a restaurant doesn't turn out as wanted. Travel detours happen…but they don't have to be bad. When things begin to change on your itinerary, you may find some of your best memories being made off-the-beaten path or in an unexpected way. Look for opportunities to make new memories with the changes presented. Having this attitude can help kids be flexible and can connect you in unexpected ways.
Plan for Food
Hungry people are not happy people. If you want to connect as a family, it's difficult to do while grumpy. Make sure kids have access to food and snacks (that they will eat). While we encourage families to try new foods together, we never want to do so in way where kids will walk away hungry if they did not like their meal. Plan ahead and pack some tried and true snacks that you know your kids will eat if necessary. Kids also often get more hungry on vacation than normal. Vacation is a good time to leave the main food to someone else. We love family vacations where no one has to shop for food, cook, or clean up because it allows all family members to be present and provides additional time for connection in different ways than a normal schedule.
Engage the People
One of the best parts of travel are the people you will meet. Encourage children to ask questions of guides, servers, drivers, and hotel staff that they meet. Point out how people do things differently in different places. Listen to someone sing in a different language. Ask the people you meet about local customs and why they love their home. You'll learn about the places you visit in a totally different way.
Ask them to Photograph
Kids are naturally interesting photographers. They see the whole world differently. Ask them to take some photos of what they find interesting and you'll see your trip from a whole new perspective. It's also a great way to get them involved.

Beer Extract/Beer
Beer hydrates the skin. It's believed that the women of ancient Egypt and Rome used beer regularly and took beer baths as part of their beauty routine to help keep their skin smooth, clear skin discoloration and hydrated. Beer extract is used in hair and skin care products to help calm, nourish and soothe skin. The other added benefits are that it can also help to strengthen hair, boost volume in fine hair types and give hair a natural shine. (Also see Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Seed Extract, Hordeum Distichon (Barley) Extract and Xanthohumol).

UPDATE 1-Angola's Isabel dos Santos to relinquish stake in second Portuguese firm
(Recasts, adds details, background)
LISBON, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Angolan billionaire and former first daughter Isabel dos Santos, who is a suspect in a fraud investigation at home, will offload her controlling stake in Portuguese engineering firm Efacec, the company said on Friday - her second such move this week.
Angola named dos Santos a formal suspect over alleged mismanagement and misappropriation of funds during her time as chairwoman of state oil company Sonangol, while Portugal's market watchdog has launched inquiries into various firms where she holds stakes.
Dos Santos has denied any wrongdoing.
Efacec said in a statement that dos Santos had told the board she had decided to withdraw from the company's shareholding structure. It did not specify a reason and made no mention of any accusations against her.
On Wednesday, small Portuguese lender Eurobic, in which dos Santos was the largest shareholder with a 42.5% stake, said the businesswoman had decided to sell her share.
Dos Santos bought her controlling stake in Efacec for around 200 million euros in 2015 through offshore company Winterfell Industries.
The decisions to leave Efacec and Eurobic come during increased scrutiny of dos Santos after hundreds of thousands of files - dubbed the "Luanda Leaks" - were released by several news organizations on Sunday.
Dos Santos still holds significant indirect stakes in several important Portuguese firms such as oil firm Galp Energia and telecoms company NOS.
Dos Santos and Portuguese retailer Sonae each own 50% of holding company ZOPT-SGPS, which controls 52.15% of NOS. Following the scandal, three non-executive board members at NOS stepped down from their roles on Thursday, the company said in a statement. NOS shares fell by more than 5% on Friday morning before recovering some of the losses to trade 1.8% lower.

Matt Wittmeyer photo: Metal sculptor Albert Paley is seen in 2015 during a demonstration at the Corning Museum of Glass.
The Leader, Corning NY
By Stephen Borgna
Posted Mar. 27, 2016 at 3:21 PM
Albert Paley is a renowned metal sculptor and artist who specializes in metallic materials and architecturally-inspired designs. His portfolio ranges from complex sculptures and maquettes to towering monolith structures that serve as the centerpoint of plazas and public squares. In Sept. 2014, Corning Museum of Glass announced that Paley was invited into Corning Inc.'s residency program. Paley took metallic materials and fused them with specialty Corning glass to create uniquely hybrid pieces, finishing his residency last year. The Leader caught up with Paley last week to discuss his work and reflect on his time with Corning.
Your work focuses on building metal structures and fusing architecture.
What made you want to become an artist and work with metal materials?
Basically, I did formal art school training. I went to Tyler School of Art, part of Temple University, and I did my undergraduate and graduate work there. I graduated in sculpture, and I focused specifically on metal technology. Because with metal, you have the greatest flexibility. As far as material you can deal with very, very small; very minute, or large architectural projects. And aesthetically, there's so much available that the vocabulary you have is kind of unlimited. So I've been involved for approximately 40 years, 45 years specifically on metal sculpture.
How long was it before you could work with these materials confidently? What was the learning curve like?
I was exhibiting internationally when I was in graduate school, so the work was venerated at that point. You know the work has evolved, and the types of tools and technology. I think as an artist it's the aesthetics that drive it, not necessarily the technique. But what we do at the studio is quite sophisticated as far as technology is concerned. But the aesthetics is what drives it. So it's a combination of aesthetic research and technological research. For instance, one of the things - and this kind of relates to glass - one of the things I was always drawn to with metal is that everyone thinks metal is a hard, resistant, inorganic structural material. When you work it with heat, it becomes the opposite. It becomes very plastic, very fluid, deals with organic form … addresses a whole range of associations that people don't necessarily have with metal. Most of the work I do stresses that aspect of plasticity and kind of the organic context of metal work.
When did you open your own studio?
I think it was 1963.
When were you a resident at the Museum of Glass?
Actually it was the industrial division of Corning, it wasn't the museum. The museum set up this artist and residency program, and I actually was the first one to be invited. So basically Corning Inc. has all these specialty glasses. So I was invited in; they showed me the various characteristics of the glasses ... and I did several sessions where I developed a lot of glass pieces that dealt with the specific aspects of these specialty glasses. Some of them are independent pieces in their own - actually the Corning Museum did purchase one for their collection, which was part of the residency. The other pieces, I would bring them back to our studio, and then I would use them as an element in some sculptures.
Since your work focuses on metal, what drew you to work with glass?
Well actually, because I came out of the university system in the early 60s, there was a forum for artists at that time that were dealing with various materials. There would be conferences where there would be a metal worker there, there would be somebody that dealt with wood, somebody that dealt with ceramics, and Harvey Littleton had just started the glass program in Wisconsin, and so he would deal with glass. I became friends with Harvey, and I was very well aware of the whole evolution of studio glass from the 60s. And I think it was 1999, 1998, I was invited to Pilchuck, they have an artist-in-residence program where they invite professionals outside of the glass field that had not worked with glass to go and experience that. So I developed a body of work at that time, and I really like the color and transparency, and so I started incorporating these glass elements that I had done at Pilchuck into sculpture. I wanted to develop that further.
You focused primarily on using 'Corning Code 7056' glass. Can you explain that material a little and why you chose to work with it?
Even though glass as a material is quite different from metal, the one thing that is the same is that its forms and shapes that are derived from heat … the form development is the same. So therefore there's a sympathy between these seemingly dissimilar things. With the specialty glass I was working with in Corning, I could literally combine the two pieces physically. The Kovar expands and contracts the same as the glass. And therefore, you could dip, you could embed, you could wrap, you could blow into and fuse the glass to the Kovar surface. This took what I was doing aesthetically and pushed it even further.
So this glass was very similar to working with metal?
The metal forms that I would develop and the glass forms were sympathetic, but they were visually combined, not physically combined. With the Kovar, you could physically fuse the glass and the metal together. So that was a development in what I was doing, but also it created a whole other dimension … it was taking all of my visual research into another level. And then also the Kovar and the glass had never been worked to the extreme that we did in the workshop. It was done for scientific reasons, radio tubes and other things like that, it was never worked on the scale that we worked on at Corning Inc. It's really a fantastic body of work that was developed.
Was it a challenge to work with different materials than you're used to?
Well, no because I've worked with glass before and I've worked with metal before. So here it was combining it. The challenge - not necessarily challenge - it's more of a perceptual thing of giving this new connection of how these go together; what were the qualities that happened with this integration and how could they be explored … it was very exciting; it was purely research. And I think because it was so unique - all the skill of the team and the people that were there - it was really a dynamic interchange.
What is your favorite piece you created while with Corning?
Well some of them haven't been developed yet, but actually the star of the group was the one that was purchased by the museum. I think it was titled 'Memory's Paradox.'
What do you think is the most important skill or attribute needed to become a successful artist who works with glass or metal?
Well the thing is, that obviously the greater one's skill level is, the greater diversity you have on what you can do. If people are very limited in the skill level they can only do certain things. The greater skill, the more vocabulary you can have. So besides the technical, obviously the creativity in how you apply those things. But one of the main things - for any artist - is having an opportunity. An opportunity to show an exhibit and develop the work. All of that goes hand-in-hand. Ultimately it's the quality of the work and the consistency that one puts into it - a lot of work and a lot of tenacity.
What advice would you offer to any aspiring artists out there?
I guess probably the most important thing is not to be discouraged. The art field is extremely competitive in all aspects, and the main thing is for the individual to create his or her own vision, and to find their voice and to follow that voice. You're not a manufacturer - you're really trying to develop a personalization, and an understanding and a perspective that allows you to be as authentic as one possibly can.

The Bunchie is commonly found as an animated GIF avatar in various forums, and is often described as being a phallic-looking llama like creature. Excerpt from UrbanDictionary written by user FL@ME on Aug 12th, 2003: A creature with 4 legs and an elongated neck. Also Capable of attaining high speeds while galloping. Similar in appearance to that of a male phallus.
The Bunchie was created by designer Aaron St. Goddard and animated by Roel Van Mastbergen and is believed to have been popularized when a user named Kelet (possibly named after the Hungarian term for "east") posted the animated GIF as a humordsgasfbduxHCQYFBXYHZANXFVCABNXGous response to a serious thread on the Penny Arcade forums. Because of this, the character became known as a Kelet amongst Penny Arcade users.
Bunchie is also one of a handful of unofficial mascots adopted by genmay.com users at least as early as 2003.CBXHJN
- DFX"Oh noes! It is spreading..." Genmay.cCXom 8/12/2003XSX
- "Chop Bunchie" Genmay.com 8/SXDFFSA/2003
The Guerilla News Network adopted Bunchie as their mascot, and named it Forbes. According to the Wikipedia article, Bunchies have many other names.
In Germany, it is named "Oktolon" and "Hüpfvieh" – which could be translated as "jumping cattle". In Poland, the most common name used is "Hasacz" (read: Hasatch), which can be translated as "roamer". In Israel, it is known as "Pin'has" (פנחס, read: Peenkhas).
On the Albino Black Sheep website and forums, Bunchies are referred to as Buttley.

Planning and implementing a backup solution for a home or business computer is, and should remain, a top priority. Using backups on a regular basis is a part of responsible computer ownership. Creating redundant copies of your data is the first thing to consider when working with any sensitive data you wish to keep for a long period of time. You should be allocating a service or drive with the storage space equal, double or three times the amount of your data's size. There are literally dozens of options from you to choose from, so I have researched and reviewed some software and hardware options for your consideration.
Online Backup Solutions
Those who have access to a Broadband connection (either DSL or Cable) should consider an Online Backup Solution. These systems usually work automatically and require just an initial setup. Your information is backed up 'on the cloud', so you can restore data from any location that has an internet connection (including a new computer). These programs are relatively easy to use, don't require any hardware, and your data is secured off-site on multiple robust servers.
Carbonite – Carbonite is one of the first popular online backup solutions, and it maintains the most users of the three most popular services. Carbonite is relatively easy to set up and requires minimal software installation and configuration. Download and install the software; then let it know what data you want to save (everything, data, music, etc.). Set up a time to do your 'initial backup', and you're done. Carbonite will automatically scan and update your backup automatically as you save and remove new files.
Acronis – Acronis is unique because it offers several different software options for you to purchase. Acronis offers a software choice called 'True Image 2013,' which will take a full snapshot of your computer including data, installed programs and windows settings. Acronis has a slightly higher learning curve, but it will give you a full complete image of your computer (or incremental backups on any schedule you decide). Because of the robust configuration options available, you will have an icon on your windows tray to help access the settings page for any additional changes. Acronis is Windows XP compatible and supports Windows computers up to and including Windows 8.
Offline Backup Solutions
Western Digital / Seagate / Iomega External Hard Drives
I lumped these three products together because they configure and deploy in a similar manner. These drives are pretty much the same deal, so the only difference here is brand and availability. You purchase a hard-drive of your choice and plug it into your computer via USB cable. After plugging in your hard-drive, you install the software and configure what and when you want to backup. Leave the device plugged into your computer, and it takes care of itself.

Even when it comes to dogs, we still haven't got over the colonial hangover. We import breeds and give them English names. Rajat Ghai speaks to S Theodore Baskaran, whose recent book explores little-known indigenous breeds
What are the differences in the breeding of Western and Indian dogs—philosophical, conceptual and training?
In the West, the dog has been a companion animal. Though some breeds were used for hunting and guarding, most were developed as companion breeds and were trained to be so. They were given the run of the house and were treated as part of the family. In India, however, the dog has been used as a work animal, like the horse, mainly for hunting. The people who raised dogs were hunters, trappers, pastoralists and farmhands. So dogs were not cared for by the upper castes. It was considered a pollutant, as many literary references show.
The Government of India has banned the import of foreign breeds for breeding purposes. Do you think it will make any difference, given that there is a surfeit of foreign genes already present in India?
The description "surfeit of foreign genes already present in India" is problematic. Are you talking about breeds? There is no surfeit. In fact, there is a lot of inbreeding of foreign breeds in India. You can see the difference between a German Shepherd in Europe and the one in India. This is a result of inbreeding.
The ban on foreign breeds will not make any difference to indigenous breeds. The ban will prevent new strains coming in. This rule is regressive. It is likely that foreign breeds in India will further deteriorate. Puppy mills will grow active. Soon you will have an Indian pug! What we need are top-class sires if we want to develop work dogs like Seeing Eye dogs or guide dogs (to lead the blind, for instance), therapy dogs or companion dogs. We cannot have Seeing Eye dogs or companion dogs (for the disabled) in India because of the omnipresence of stray dogs.
Do you think indigenous breeds in India were the collateral damage for the ban on hunting and wildlife conservation?
I think so. But we can still nurture and develop indigenous breeds, thanks to the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. Many enthusiasts are already working on this in places like Srinagar, Pune and Raja-palayam in Tamil Nadu. And the interest is growing. There are associations to preserve local breeds like the Bakharwal. In Chennai, there is a society to revive the Kombai breed. We have to bear in mind that except small breeds, indigenous dogs need a lot of space and exercise.
Why didn't most native Indian princely states take an active interest in the conservation of indigenous dog breeds?
Like many other aspects of life during the colonial period, the affluent Indian, including the princely states, aped the British, like playing golf and so on. It was fashionable. And they imported breeds which the British had as pets. We still give English names to dogs. This practice began in the 18th century itself.
As dog breeds of Afghanistan, Nepal and Myanmar share ancestry with Indian breeds, do you think we should form a Cynological Union?
It will be a good idea. And dog enthusiasts should take this effort, as governments are not interested. Some breeds like the Sindhi Hound and Bully Kutta are also found in Pakistan. The Federation of Cynological Union already exists in Belgium.
Why do you think the Central government does not take an active interest in conserving indigenous breeds? Do we need to promulgate laws in this regard?
Dogs are not in their list of priorities. In fact, even wildlife is not. However, in a pioneering attempt, the Karnal-based National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources, which is a wing of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, began a DNA-based survey of the Rajapalayam and Chippiparai breeds in Southern Tamil Nadu. But for some reason, it was abruptly given up in 2016 after two years of work. I filed a Right to Information application to know the reason for the closure, but did not get any reply.
An outstanding example of governmental care for an indigenous breed is the Mudhol Research Centre in Bagal-kot, Karnataka. The state government, with admirable foresight, has been taking care of this native breed. The research centre has been doing pioneering work to protect and promote this breed. This centre supplied six Mudhol puppies to the Indian Army two years ago. The Government of Tamil Nadu started a unit for breeds such as Rajapalayam and Chippiparai in 1981 in Chennai. But due to utter negligence, the project did not take off. Apart from these two initiatives, I am not aware of any government efforts to protect these breeds. I don't think enacting laws will be of any help.
How can prospective buyers be certain that the animal is pure-bred?
This is a problem. One has to depend on reliable and knowledgeable enthusiasts. Since breed standards do not exist, there are different claims and counter claims about the characteristics of a breed.
What's your take on the Mudhol Hound's recent induction into the Indian Army? Are there others too?
The news of Mudhol Hounds positively responding to training by army experts is very promising indeed and augurs well for Indian breeds. This brings out a new dimension to our understanding of Indian dog breeds, neglected since the colonial days. Since they were sight hounds, it was thought they may not do well in scent work. But here they are detecting land mines and explosives. There was news recently that the army plans to induct eight more Mudhol puppies into the army unit in Meerut.
The Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University in Chennai found that the Chippiparai Hounds are universal donors. Two Chippiparai dogs in Chennai were used to donate blood to the dogs of the Indian Peace Keeping Force, which developed tick fever during the operations in Sri Lanka. We have to understand the potential of Indian breeds. Having evolved over millennia to suit this climate and geography, they are our living heritage and we must take care of them.
Do you think India should opt for culling of stray dogs? What are the significant points about Indian stray dogs that people do not know?
The word to be used in this context is "euthanising". Till 2001, as per section 218 of the Destruction of Stray Pigs, Stray dogs and Monkeys of the Municipal Corporation Act of 1919, municipalities and corporations were euthanising stray dogs. In 2001, the Government of India issued the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules. But this was a disaster. The Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Hyderabad, did a census of stray dogs and found that the rules had not worked to control their population. Court decisions too have pointed this out.
We must realise that we are trying to empty a vast lake with a bottomless bucket. A pair of dogs can produce 400 in three years and 7,000 in seven years. It is impossible to operate on all the dogs. And there are no short-term solutions too. Consider this: rabies claims 35,000 lives, mostly the poorest of the poor, in India each year. And this is only the recorded ones. This is 81 per cent of all rabies deaths in the world. Each year in India, about one million get bitten by rabid dogs and take anti-rabies shots. For dogs, anti-rabies vaccine is to be given annually. Can this be administered to the millions of stray dogs?
India's estimated need of anti-rabies vaccine for humans is 1,500 litres per year. Since vaccine produced in the 12 centres in India cannot meet this requirement, we import the vaccine from France and Germany.
I think every dog should be owned and cared for. Descartes said "I think, therefore I am". A dog can as well say "I am loved and owned. Therefore I am a dog". When they are not owned, fed and cared for, they are left to themselves, live on garbage and are vectors of deadly diseases like rabies and other zoonotic diseases that spread to other species. Take for instance, the Canine distemper, a viral disease with no cure. Stray dogs have emerged as a big threat to wildlife in India. Biologists have published articles about this. We have to remember that stray dogs are not a breed. The first step to tackle the stray dog problem is to accept that animal birth control is totally ineffective. Then we need to think about scientific and rational solutions.

Not content with ordering the closure of 7 out 11 of the department of Fisheries and Oceans Libraries the Canadian government has now turned its eye to Agricultural Research. Last week much of the scientific research material housed at Lethbridge's Agricultural and Agri-Food Research Centre was thrown in the dumpster.
"The loss of many decades worth of research findings will hamper Lethbridge scientists working on issues ranging from soil chemistry, bees and rangeland concerns, insect pests and greenhouse gases, along with studies on such key crops as canola, potatoes, wheat and beans."
Why, you might ask?
"On the weekend, an Agriculture and Agri-Food media relations officer said the Harper government is "modernizing the delivery of library services" by making digital copies of what it considers important. It will keep "all materials of business value."
This government is obsessed with everything serving the needs of business. The article goes on to say:
"But federal election candidate Cheryl Meheden, responding to the concerns of research scientists who contacted her after the dumping began, says much has already been lost.
As to making digital copies, she says, "That budget has been slashed by 50 per cent."
Why they are destroying anything right now, when we are in the midst of an election campaign, is another question I would like to see answered.
Finally, I will let the venerable Raffi speak for me:

To dream of age often reflects the level of maturity or experience a person has in a certain situation. A young age points to lack of experience or new situations. An old age points to experienced aspects of our selves.
Your age in a dream may also be a reflection of how enthusiastic or bored you are with an area of your life.

Why You Should Install a Fence Around Your Home
A wide open, "home on the range" look can be very romantic, but there plenty of good reasons why you should install a fence around your home. For starters, a fence will add security and privacy. A new fence can even increase the value of your home! If you're still unsure about installing a new fence around your home, consider the benefits you will enjoy once your new fence is completed.
Added Privacy
Whether you're sunbathing in the backyard or watching a movie in the living room, it's nice to know that you have some privacy in and around your home. Although a fence won't make your home invisible, it will limit how much your neighbors and passerby can see inside your home and around your property.
Greater Security
Installing a new fence is also a great way to add security to your home. A fenced yard is less inviting than one that is open and exposed. A fence can also contain your pets and small children as they play in the backyard, so you don't need to worry about them running off while your attention is somewhere else.
Increased Curb Appeal
Curb appeal is essentially a measure of how attractive your home is from the driveway or front sidewalk. The greater your home's curb appeal, the more valuable it will be and the faster it will typically sell once you list it on the market. Even if you aren't planning on selling your home anytime soon, a new fence is a good investment that can increase the value of your home should you ever decide to move.
If you want to enjoy the benefits of a new fence, contact an experienced fence contractor in your area. Look for a residential fencing company that offers multiple materials, styles, and colors. You should also look for a fence company in Lake Worth that is licensed and insured.
What to Know Before You Build a Fence
Installing a new fence might not seem like the most complicated home improvement project, but there's still quite a lot to consider to make sure that you end up with the perfect fence. There are also some steps you need to take to take to make sure that your fence stays up once installation is completed. To help your new fence installation go as smoothly as possible, here are some things you should know before you have a fence built.
Know What You Want
The first step is obviously to decide what type of fence you want. You have a lot of options to choose from, including different materials such as wood, aluminum, iron, and vinyl. Your budget will help you determine which type of fence you can afford, though some fence contractors offer flexible payment plans so you don't have to scrimp on your new fence installation.
Know Your City's Fence Codes
Installing a fence isn't exactly cheap, but doing it twice can really set you back. To make sure that your fence doesn't need to be torn down and rebuilt, check with your local zoning office about residential fencing codes in your area . For instance, some cities have restrictions on how high a new fence can be, or even what color or type of material can be used.
Know Your Property Lines
On a similar note, you will want to know where your property actually lies. If you install a new fence on your neighbor's property, you will be responsible for the cost of tearing it down. If you are unsure about where your property lies, have your fence contractor find out before work begins.
Once everything is in order, contact an experienced residential fence contractor in Lake Worth to turn your dream fence into a reality. You may even be able to find a fence company that will research your property lines and local fence codes to ensure that your new fence stays up.
