Posted on 02/25/2012 5:12:49 AM PST by Strategy
The US has begun beefing up its sea- and land-based defences in the Persian Gulf to counter any attempt by Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz.
The American forces are also modifying weapons systems on warships so they could be used against Iranian fast-attack boats, as well as short-launched cruise missiles, the Wall Street Journal reported quoting US defence officials said.
The paper said Pentagon had notified Congress of plans to pre-position new mine-detection and clearing equipment and expand surveillance capabilities in and around the strait, through which 20 percent of world's oil supply passes.

Don't you think that the NAVY doesn't already have those helicopters at the ready? Just because there not in view doesn't mean they are not there. (take it from an old Navy guy).
I hate to be the one to mention this, but the horse is already out of the corral.
Once Mr achmadinnerjacket gets the operational nuke, I'm betting the straits will be off limits to a certain countries war ships, or else.
Wonder just how long Israel will wait, till she is forced to react?
Some Warthogs would be ideal.

OUTRAGE: Navy SEALs Movies Terrorist is . . . JEWISH (Tortures, Murders CIA Agents, Smuggles Jihadists into U.S.)
By Debbie Schlussel
Its official: Act of Valor is anti-Semitic tripe wrapped in the American flag with a Navy SEAL cherry on top. The movie, which debuts in theaters today, goes to great pains to tell you that the largest terrorist plot against America is perpetrated by a Jew.
It must be getting close to an election for mac daddy, he wants people to believe that he give a sh*t about America and that he has a set of ba**s.
...modifying weapons systems on warships so they could be used against Iranian fast-attack boats, as well as short-launched cruise missiles... plans to pre-position new mine-detection and clearing equipment and expand surveillance capabilities...Thanks Strategy.
I wonder if this is going to be another Wag the Dog situation like Bubba had.
No need. The Marines flying their AH-1Zs and AV-8Bs embarked upon Makin Island with HMM-268, which is already in the Persian Gulf, won't have any trouble dispatching those Iranians for their rendezvous with muhammad.
I have always been a Cobra fan... wish they would update that one. Apaches look fierce loaded down though. I guess they all do with enough armament.
Unknown to most people the military has its hands tied by the current administration. There will be no attack on Iran and Israel will be told to negotiate or have their funding cut.
Qom - Uranium enrichment plant
IAEA says work started on Qom site earlier than Iran suggests In January 2012, Iran said it had begun uranium enrichment at the heavily fortified site of Fordo near the holy city of Qom.
It had revealed the existence of the facility, about 30km (20 miles) north of the city, in September 2009.
On February 5, 2012, President Obama invoked the NDAA, which authorizes the use of military force, and issues an executive order declaring the threat of Iran a National Emergency.
I'm sure all of his supporters will be yelling NO WAR FOR OIL!
They don't need air power for protection from small boats unless the number is very, very high.
It's kinda like Saturday morning target practice:)
And hopefully they don't have to follow the rules used elsewhere to only fire if fired upon first. How long does one wait as they are speeding to you but not firing - with their intention of ramming you and setting off a kamikaze style bomb?
Hopefully warning shots at the range of 1000 yards and shoot to kill at 700 yards or whatever.
Time for Obama to throw another party, he just loves it when things arent going well for Post Capitalist America
To keep freight and commuting fuel from going up, our debt regime tries to bait a straw man and avoid its obligations to the defenses of its own country and those of its real allies. The real economy here...? Consumption down from around 20 million barrels per day to around 19 now, although the needed layoffs haven't arrived for government teachers, regulators and other social-social robbers, yet. Have fun. Enjoy the slide.
Is there such a thing as helo carriers? That's an amazing concept. Landings easier, less deck space required, more versatile than fast movers.
Amazing. Israel could make one of those. Since there's no need for a runway and landing strip, it can be shorter and more maneuverable, use less material, require less power. If we don't have them yet, we better get them yesterday. This can be used for invading Iran! You just made my week. Thanks.
That is a photo of an American LHA. Their purpose is to transport about 2000 Marines to a conflict. We've had amphibious assault platforms (helo carriers) for decades. My first ship back in 1976 was an LPH - the predecessor to the LHA.
Oops, that's actually a LHD - newer than a LHA, but same mission.

Since then I have worked tirelessly to share my ideas with the world and networked with just about everyone I could think of that was involved in Iraq. I'd like to thank all the readers of Musings On Iraq and everyone that I've talked to and who has helped me along the way. Hopefully I'll have several more years of writing ahead of me and will continue to find more people interested in a country that has gone through so much over the last several decades.

Shop: www.offthehooks.etsy.com
Blog: www.craftyash.blogspot.com
How did you get started in your chosen craft?
Funny enough, I became interested in fiber at the end of my fine arts degree! I think it all started when I participated in a site-specific installation on an abandoned farmhouse called "womanhouseâ€. The investigation of women's and family history really triggered something and I wanted to start working with a more traditional medium. After that I tried to teach myself to crochet, and eventually met up with some co-workers for regular stitch 'n bitches. I just kept crocheting, and eventually tried spinning, and was "hookedâ€!!!
How do you make your craft or Etsy store eco-friendly?
I love to use local products, especially fleece & wool for spinning, the dyes that I use are non-toxic. I also unravel & clean sweaters for their yarn & use vintage yarns for re-use in some of my creations. I try and use recycled packaging and use as little packing material I can to save costs and the environment. The soaps I use to wash my wool are all eco-friendly and biodegradable too.
Why did you join the EcoEtsy Team?
I wanted to be a part of a growing movement on Etsy & the handmade community, and learn about becoming more eco-conscious. It has been a great opportunity to see what creative ideas folks are coming up with!
What are you currently working on?
I'm really enjoying making the eco trivet-potholders with recycled fabric yarn. I've also been making some handspun baby hats lately that are pretty adorable. I've also discovered needle felting and will be using this technique in some upcoming projects.
What steps have you taken to lead a green life style?
We grow an ever-expanding garden in the summertime; line-dry our laundry (love the fresh, clean smell!); we "back-alley shop†and "gleanâ€. It has been amazing to see what people throw away. Some notable finds include: perfectly good bicycles (in need of minor repairs), outdoor chairs, art supplies, flower pots, garden tools, etc. I also choose to be vegetarian to reduce my footprint on the earth. We make earth by composting and use only eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning products.
What is the most eco-friendly purchase you have made?
I think what's more important are the purchases that we don't make. Our culture is so obsessed with "stuff†that sometimes it is a more powerful statement *not* to buy something! But, I admit I do too like to buy "stuffâ€; so I think it's best to buy local and handmade when possible. Currently, I am excited to receive the stamp I just ordered that has my shop info on it; I'm hoping to stamp bits of recycled paper and cardboard to use as tags for my products.

She may not, in the end, have proved the saviour of daytime television, but Anne Diamond can console herself that her influence has been significant all the same. It is now more than a decade since the presenter became involved in a campaign to educate parents in a simple but incredibly important piece of advice. Babies should sleep on their backs, not their bellies, the campaign said, to cut the risk of cot death (Diamond's four-month-old baby Sebastian died suddenly in his sleep in 1991).
It ran contrary to the parenting advice given to the previous generation, but the results of the campaign were remarkable: within a year the incidence of cot death or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (Sids) had halved. In 1991 around 2,000 babies a year died suddenly in their beds. Ten years later the figure was 371.
But is it possible that in protecting our babies from cot death we have risked their development in other ways? Reports at the weekend suggested that putting babies to sleep on their backs has raised a generation of infants who risk never learning, or learning only very belatedly, how to crawl. Because they are rarely placed on their tummies, the argument goes, babies don't learn to push themselves up with their arms, thus hampering the development of their upper body strength and dexterity. There was even a suggestion that the "Back to Sleep" generation would struggle with their handwriting and motor skills when at school if urgent corrective action - placing them on their tummies - was not taken.
The solution, in the fast-moving world of competitive parenting, has come to be known as "tummy time", a prescribed period of play each day in which the baby gets used to lying on its belly. In the US, where the activity is a much more familiar parenting concept than on this side of the Atlantic, tummy time has, perhaps inevitably, provided a marketing opportunity, allowing toy manufacturers to trumpet the virtues of products such as raised playmats which supposedly encourage the baby to push upwards, and also claim to protect against the risk of the rather terrifying-sounding "flat head syndrome", which they claim is an associated risk.
So should parents be worried? And if so, why haven't we heard more about tummy time on this side of the Atlantic? Devala Dookun, head of physiotherapy at Great Ormond Street children's hospital in London, concedes that there has not been as much information on the virtues of tummy play as there might have been. In her view, the "Back to Sleep" dogma has had a significant impact on many children's rates of development.
"We support the campaign, since there seems to be clear evidence that it has reduced Sids. But what has happened is that parents have taken it as meaning that babies should never be on their fronts. We do see a lot of children with very poor 'prone development', which is the ability to push up on their arms, hands and knees - all the things to do with crawling."
But isn't it normal for children to develop at different rates? "I'm reluctant to say it delays you by X weeks or by Y months because you could never quantify when a particular child would be ready to crawl or push up in the first place," she says. "But as paediatric physiotherapists we do feel that it is having a detrimental effect in the short term." Infants who don't learn to "weight bear" on their arms when learning early prone development may struggle with handwriting, she suggests, when they stabilise themselves with one arm while learning to scribble with the other.
Which is not to suggest that big-bellied, weak-necked babies will much enjoy being beached with their nose in a carpet, unable at first to push themselves up or to roll over. Ali Fell's son Rory screamed non-stop when she first put him on his tummy at two-and-a-half months, she says. No one had told her officially that tummy play was good for his development, though her mother had suggested it might help with his colic.
"A lot of that stuff is just people chatting, you just pick it up," she says. "But it was just awful, he was like some wounded animal, it would break your heart. He hated it at first, and got really distressed, so I would only put him down for a couple of minutes at a time. And then one day, he just stopped, and pushed himself up. He realised he could do it."
Rory is now one, and has been walking for two whole days, so his crawling days will soon be behind him. But coaxing a reluctant baby to play on its belly is not the only way to encourage muscle development, according to childcare author Deborah Jackson, who says that even carrying a baby around in a sling will exercise its muscles, urging the baby to try to cling on, in vestigial traces of the climbing impulses of baby monkeys.
"We do put babies in the middle of a room like handbags at a disco, and not ask them to do very much except sit there. Either let them have opportunities every day to play on their tummies, if they are ready for it, or put them on your back and get on with your life. We may be getting a little too over-anxious here."
So in the long term, does it really matter? Dookun stresses that while flat head syndrome, in which the soft bones at the back of the head flatten under the pressure of the baby's head, can occur when a baby spends too much time on its back, it is only really a risk for babies who are never removed from their cots or who have a specific muscle-wasting syndrome. Similarly, she acknowledges that children are perfectly able to catch up with their peers if their prone development has been hampered through lack of tummy play.
"Of course you can learn those skills and pick up that strength later. But it might be the equivalent of a child who picks up a second language from their parents, rather than trying to learn it at a later stage. It's a great shame not to develop these skills at the time they were meant to be picked up. Because it is inevitably that little bit more difficult later on."
Bedtime and tummy time
· Always place babies on their backs to sleep. Even putting them to sleep on their sides is less safe as they can roll onto their tummies.
· Place the baby in the cot in the "feet to foot" position, with their feet at the foot of the bed, so they can't wriggle down under the bedclothes.
· Tuck bedclothes in tightly and do not bring them higher than the baby's shoulders.
· Babies' bedrooms should be between 16 and 20 C.
· Use blankets rather than duvets or quilts for babies under a year old. In warm weather babies may not need covers at all. Never use electric blankets or hot water bottles.
· Encourage babies to play regularly on their tummies, even if they don't like it at first. Try placing a rolled up towel under their chests, or putting them on your chest as you lie on the floor.
· Babies should always be closely watched when they are on their bellies. Don't leave them alone or let them fall asleep.

How quickly they change LOL
Just today I got to thinking about some old pictures that I took of my 3 boys last year, particularly these, where they were standing 13.3, 14.3, and 15.3 at the time the pix were taken.
In a way, I was hoping to get the same equal difference at some point but I'm beginning to think that's probably not going to happen (I hope).
Anyway, here they are again at 14.3, 15.1, and 16.1. Taz shot up quite a bit in the last year while poor old Dobe is just stuck where he's at.
Wow, Taz sure has grown! I still think the first trailer butts picture is one of my all time favorites that's been posted here.
Why thank you, MH. I think that was one of my faves for a very long time too, though I think I might like the new one better :wink:.
I was so worried that poor Taz was always going to be a dinky little blown out thing, but I'm happy to see that Daddy's genes finally started to show themselves.
Hard to believe that he went from this
To this in just a little over a year
What handsome boys you have.
I can't believe that those photos are of the same horse. Taz really has changed a lot!

Went for a wander down the street to at least see the Stella Artois brewery while we are in the town where they started brewing in 1366 (unfortunately brewery tours finish at the end of October, which would have filled our afternoon nicely)

I have a mystery to report. My mystery is what happened to my Arum elongatum?
In September, I received a plump tuber of A. elongatum.
Today, the daytime temperature got up to 55 degrees, so I went outside this afternoon and took the soil out of the container where I had planted the A. elongatum, there was nothing there. Not even a rotted husk of a tuber. I went through the soil (explained below) and could find no tuber. Not even a small one.
I took great care, I thought, with these tubers. I planted them in 3 gallon containers the bottom of which was at least 2 inches of gravel. The soil was a good soil, but I mixed in approximately 1/3 gravel to give it better drainage. I then set the tuber on a 1/2 inch bed of grit, so that absolutely no water would be around it. Before planting, I drenched the soil in the container with approximately a 5-10% solution of Captain, which I thought would further limit any chance of rotting. I have not applied water to the containers since that time (I wait until the nose is above he soil) and we have had only minimal rain,
although we have had a lot of nights with the temperature below freezing and maybe two or three nights with the temperature as low as 25 degrees. So what happened to A. elongatum? Any ideas?
Last year, my first year to try Arum in Fort Worth, Texas, I managed to rot only A. concinnatum (no problem with A. italicum, A. orientale, A. palestinum, A. discoridis or A. pictum). I am trying A. concinnatum again this year, but with the regime I described above. It has not yet put its nose above the soil line, but when I unpotted it today, it had sprouted and was about an inch below the soil line (I plant my arums about 3+ inches below the soil line, because of the below freezing nights). This year, in addition to those mentioned, I am trying A. creticum, A. apulum, A. cyrenaicum, A. byzantinum, A. korolkowii, and three varieties of A. italicum. All of these are up (except A. concinnaturm and A. korolkowii, which have spouted) and most are sprouting at least their second leaf. The colder weather did knock some of them down, but they picked up the next day when the temperature got above freezing.
Next year, I plan on building a cold frame and have a great spot selected to grow Arum in the ground. I would like to try A. elongatum, as well as other Arums, again next year. Does anyone have an idea what happened or how I should grow arum differently?

The Hannover Hardcore RS4 is basically an Audi S4 with RS4 engine, and complete RS4 exteriour. Ofcourse the engine is tuned. Thanks to bigger turbos this RS4 now has 1080 horsepower. Making the car powerful enough to compete against Alpha's Nissan GT-R Alpha 12 by Materialmordshop, 9ff's 997 Gturbo and 996 TR1000 and G.A.D's C63 AMG! All of these cars have 850+ HP.

Investigates the interrelations between the three types of authentic American music: Country, gospel and blues and examines the legacy of country music to other music forms. Looks at how gospel music in particular undergirded all country music which in turn produced singers like Elvis Presley, Brenda Lee, Charlie Daniels, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash. Jerry Lee Lewis introduced Rockabilly music, followed by other country rock musicians, and more recent contemporary crossover country sounds as exemplified by the Byrds, Emmylou Harris, and Brooks & Dunn.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Goli Best you can do for your shoulder and back When I lived in Atlanta, I did not have a need for a trolley. Then we moved to Munich/ Germany and 2 out of three ladies have a trolley. I did most of my shopping with my bike which had two basket in front and back or with my car. Last year we moved to New York. we do not have a car and due to my shoulder problem I can not carry any weight. So I went to my favorite store, the Container Store and bought this trolley. It has been a blessing in my daily life. I do all my shopping with my trolley. It is so convenient. you can adjust the handle height. you have plenty of room for you umbrella on the side, your phone, your notes and when it gets dirty, I just rinse it. I could not live without it. this the best purchase I ever made for myself and for my health. March 28, 2014

Flare's Stage Enduro Jersey and Short - Review
I see what you mean, we tried to be a bit more relaxed and coordinated rather than fully matching. You'll notice the grey trails on the jersey and orange logo on the shorts give a nod to each other. Also everyone else makes black shorts! Haha. Thanks though, we'll take that forward for next year.

Hi makdthed, I'm really sorry you're disappointed with the design and logo. Are there any colours or styles that you would prefer to see in the future?

Our t-shirts and hoodies are made overseas and we print them here in Nottingham. Hope that clears things up!

While some farmers like Keith Campbell have gone out of sheep entirely others including John Murdoch and Charlie Maslin have undertaken an eradication program. Dr Petrea Wait, district veterinarian for Cooma and Bombala Local Land Services says it is the above average rainfall that has caused the virulent strains of footrot to fully express across the region.

- How to make the perfect souffle
- Rainy day baking recipes
- Our favourite chocolate recipes
- How to ice a cake
Attention home bakers – measuring cups are "the devil", and are better suited to building sandcastles at the beach. That's the view of acclaimed pastry chef Johnny Iuzzini, the wise-cracking, fast-talking New York judge from Top Chef Just Desserts, a reality TV series that pits professional pastry chefs against each other.
With his sleeve tattoo, sideburns and passion for motorbike racing, Iuzzini is a self-described "pastry bad ass". Famous for his signature textural "FourPlay" quartets, Iuzzini's motto is "desserts are last, don't let them be least". He has worked at Manhattan restaurants Jean-Georges and Daniel, and won the James Beard Award for Outstanding Pastry Chef of the Year in 2006. Iuzzini was in town for the recent Melbourne Food and Wine Festival and shared some of his baking tips with goodfood.com.au.
The basics
Be sure to read all your recipes before you start. Make sure you have all the ingredients and weigh them out before you begin. Sifting your dry ingredients before mixing helps aerate them and prevent lumps.
Measuring and accuracy
Use a digital scale – precision is the key to consistency. "Throw away your measuring cups and spoons or use them at the beach to make sandcastles," Iuzzini says.
He suggests keeping a thermometer in the oven to check for calibration. He uses a digital thermometer when cooking sugar.
Flavour contrast
Iuzzini says the key to a good chocolate dessert is the contrast of intensity of flavour and texture.
His chocolate cake contains a secret ingredient – mayonnaise. Iuzzini encourages cooks to think about how they can use mayonnaise to moisten baked goods, as it's simply "fat in an emulsion".
Flavour enhancer
Adding a little salt to desserts can enhance the flavour of other ingredients, without making it salty. A sprinkle of sea salt flakes over a finished dessert adds a little texture and crunch but no iodine flavour.
Souffle secret
Don't over-whip your egg whites for souffle. They should be soft and supple. Iuzzini says the No. 1 mistake home bakers make is trying to get every lump out of the whites.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Sharks Extend Marleau
by Paul on 08/31/07 at 02:20 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the San Jose Sharks,
San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the team has signed center Patrick Marleau to a two-year contract extension. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Patrick is among the game's top forwards and his stats speak for themselves," said Wilson. "Winning is his ultimate goal and getting this extension done prior to the start of the season allows us to focus solely on hockey. Along with several of his teammates recently, Patty made a commitment that he wants to be here and help this team attain all of its goals. We feel as an organization that it is our responsibility to make this a place that players want to play and we are proud of our players when they step up to make this happen."

Do you remember offhand which plant had negative undertones? You're right,
that's not good to do.
Although if a plant has issues (is invasive, smells bad, etc.) I'm going
to tell people up-front. I don't want to trick people into buying plants.

The free Acrobat Reader will also do that. Now I just need to link the

It's going to be about 50 cents per copy. :)
I'm trying something new -- instead of sending out print catalogs (which
are expensive to ship and print, as you mention), I'm going to send out a
CD with the PDF and Acrobat Reader on it.
Since Reader is specifically designed as a document formatting/layout tool
people can print whatever pages they want without worrying about formatting
issues when it comes out of their printer. So if they want to curl up
with a catalog in bed, just print out the pages that interest you and go
snuggle up!
I'll probably produce a print copy to mail people who don't have computers,
but it will have four pages shrunk down onto one page and will be double-
sided. It will also be black and white and will drop all of the extraneous
stuff like the plant selection guide, etc. That should trim it down to
32 pages that I can just run off at a Kinko's and mail out.

This is our value system and we strive to endorse it with our team members, suppliers, partners and customers:
UCMAS is a unique scientifically-proven brain development program designed for children and young people to develop their latent mental power at an age when brain development is reaching its peak. At UCMAS, we are dedicated to enhancing children's lives where we offer a unique opportunity for children aged 4 to 12 to participate in a program that contributed to the mental health, development and excellence of kids around the globe since 1993 in more than 50 countries.
UCMAS utilizes the "Abacus Mental Arithmetic" skills as a training tool for the mental development of children. Mental Arithmetic is a form of calculation that is solely done by the human mind without the use of pencil and paper, calculator or any other gadget or electronic device.
During the training process, children are transformed into professional users of the abacus, an ancient Chinese calculator, and then a different set of mental trainings allows the child to imagine or visualize a virtual or a "mental" abacus to solve mathematical problems. These mental arithmetic processes will act as an actual training for the child's mental skills that are occupied during the arithmetic solving process and help improve them.
In Jordan, we are receiving students between the ages of 6 and 12 only and help them improve their mental skills like concentration, observation, listening, imagination, visualization and memorization skills.
Our brain is divided into two hemispheres, left and right. The two hemispheres process information in different ways and work together in our everyday lives. However, about 90% of children use primarily the left brain. The focus of the left brain is verbal, processing information in an analytical and sequential way, looking first at the pieces then putting them together to get the whole. It is also responsible for dealing with the present and past, logic, sequencing, computation, reasoning, linear mathematics, languages, and analytical abilities.
The right side of the brain focuses on the visual and processes information in an intuitive and simultaneous way, looking first at the whole picture then the details. It deals with present and future, imagination, visualization, arts, shapes, space, intuition, synthesis, and integration of information and creativity.
The human brain has no limit to its potentials as long as it is cultivated at a young age and constantly challenged. In order to explore and develop the potentials of the human brain fully, many physiologists and brain scientists have been studying ways to further develop the function of the right side of the brain focusing on its learning ability, concentration, perceptual capabilities and imagination skills. UCMAS Program offers many building blocks in that dimension.
Besides the visible results that we witness once the student begins UCMAS training, scientists have measured results through many different technologies such as FMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and made it easy for us to get tangible proof that our program is as successful as we say it is. Also, these researches continue to take us to new levels of understanding on how the brain works and which activities enhance its abilities.
According to scientific research, 75% of our brain capacity develops between the ages of 4 and 12 making this age range crucial for mental development.
Children and young teenagers in this age group retain significant adaptability in their brains, which allows growth and inter-connection of brain cells. For that reason, many experts recommend introducing children at a young age to a new language or to playing a musical instrument, as these activities stimulate the brain. It is also easier for kids to acquire these skills at that young age, so what kids learn when they are young has a great influence over their future.
Experiments show that most young children rank highly creative, a function of the right brain, before entering school. Due to our educational system placing a higher value on the left brain skills such as mathematics, logic and language than it does on arts or being creative which train the right brain. Only 10% of these children will rank highly creative by the age of 7. As adults, only 2% of them remain highly creative. That is why the mental training through UCMAS Program targets young children to help promote brain growth and development in general and especially in the right brain for life-long results.
In Jordan, we receive students who are above the age of 6 and under the age of 13 when they start their first UCMAS class.
Mental Arithmetic is calculation that depends purely on the power of the mind, without the use of pencil and paper, calculator, any other gadget or electronic device. So instead of the child using a gadget or needing to write down a problem in order to solve it, you can simply calculate it in your head without any help! Yes! This is possible! How?
First we introduce the child or young teenager to the Abacus. The abacus is an ancient tool developed in China some 3000 years ago. It was used to teach children calculation. Both hands are used to manipulate the Abacus beads, ensuring stimulation of both the left and right sides of the brain. The combination of touch, movement and numerical concept is the initial focus.
Within the first few weeks, our students learn how to read the abacus numbers and practice simple calculations on it. Hand in hand with the Abacus learning, students receive trainings to develop their mental and fine motor skills like concentration, listening, observation, fingering and speed writing. Few weeks later and with training, Course Instructors comfortably take the abacus away and students' minds gain the ability to calculate without the need for a real abacus, solely depending on their imagination as they develop the ability to retrieve the correct result of the calculation using a "Mental Abacus" which is an imaginary or a virtual device! Impossible? Not at all!
With time students are taught techniques to perform all four mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) using the abacus in a very fast and accurate way exactly as we use modern calculators. The gradual build up of the arithmetic complexity is the technique we use to keep challenging the young learners' minds. With continuous practice, the students' mental abilities will keep growing.
Students who learn UCMAS's way of calculation will start dealing with numbers as images, since every number forms a different image on the abacus. Using the numbers as abacus images in problem solving will shift the processing of math problems from the left to the right brain. That is how we begin activating the right brain.
The techniques used to train students how to visualize an abacus are genius! We have been training children and young teenagers for tens of years, proving repeatedly that our techniques are impeccable. With millions of students testifying for us through their abilities following UCMAS's training, our ultimate goal is to bring out the genius within the upcoming generations, making their abilities stronger and their aims higher than ever before.
It is often assumed that learning mental arithmetic is merely a method to improve the speed and accuracy of calculations. For example, adding 10-digit numbers within a few seconds is an amazing accomplishment for most young children. However, it is much more than that. It is developing the mental skills and abilities of the mind such as powerful concentration, accurate observational and active listening skills, strong visualization, vast imagination and great photographic memory.
Here are UCMAS's main benefits and how we come to achieving them:
