Honda, University of Tokyo Create Preventative Traffic Jam System

Honda's traffic system
(Source: Honda)
Honda plans to unveil this system in testing that will be conducted in Italy and Indonesia in May and July 2012
One of the unfortunate realities of driving is
the traffic jam
, where cars can sometimes sit bumper-to-bumper for hours at a time. For those who are tired of not making it to work on time, Honda has a new system that may eliminate future traffic congestion.
Honda Motor Co. and the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Tokyo have collaborated to create a new driving assistant, which tracks the driving behavior of the vehicle and calculates whether this pace could cause a traffic jam.
Honda and the University of Tokyo developed this new system with the understanding that the acceleration and deceleration of a car can affect all other vehicles on the road. By researching these patterns, it was possible to create a system that predicts the probability of traffic congestion and warns the driver of this possibility. It is then up to the driver to change their speed.
"Rather than providing information to help the driver avoid existing congestion based on current traffic information, the system monitors the acceleration and deceleration patterns of the vehicle to determine whether the driver's driving pattern is likely to create traffic congestion," said Honda. "Based on this determination, the system provides the driver with appropriate information, including a color-coded display through the on-board terminal, to encourage smooth driving which will help alleviate the intensity of acceleration and deceleration by trailing vehicles, thereby helping to prevent or minimize the occurrence of vehicle congestion."
According to Honda, the new anti-traffic system helped increase the average speed of vehicles by 23 percent and even enhanced the fuel efficiency of "trailing vehicles" by 8 percent, since traffic congestion causes an increase in CO2 emissions.
Honda also noted that
cloud connectivity in vehicles
via such a system could allow cars to estimate the patterns of other drivers.
Honda plans to unveil this system in testing that will be conducted in Italy and Indonesia in May and July 2012.
Back in February, Bill Ford Jr., the great-grandson of Henry Ford, urged automakers and tech experts to
create new traffic jam technologies
because congested highways could someday mean limiting the number automobiles that can be sold or used on the roads at a given time. With technology like the system being developed at Honda, this worry could no longer be an issue.
"Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?... So why the f*** doesn't it do that?" -- Steve Jobs

I look done and i am embarrassed and pissed off. He says to wait 10 days and I will love it. But I really don't think so. I feel the product (it's so stiff) and i hate the size of my lips. It is not subtle at all. But i don't know if going back to get some of it dissolved will make it worse. Any words of wisdom are much appreciate

For the release of their first full length album The Red, girl group Red Velvet held a comeback showcase to promote the album and title track "Dumb Dumb". Unfortunately, the girls garnered a few negative headlines after a netizen suggested that the outfits worn at the showcase were plagiarized from the Olympia Le Tan Spring 2015 collection. Slight differences in the designs were noted, such as the hemline of Irene's pink dress, and the lack of Olympia Le Tan's monogram logo on Seulgi's striped blazer.
To avoid controversy, representatives for SM stepped up to clarify the situation. It turns out the the items in question are genuine pieces purchased from Olympia Le Tan, but the stylists modified some of them — a common occurrence when ready-to-wear items are purchased for idol use. Irene's dress had the hemline changed and the belt ditched. The logo on Seulgi's jacket is actually a separate piece, a broach that is easily removed! She also went without the belt seen on the runway look. Additionally, Wendy's skirt was shortened.
Though Red Velvet was not actually sponsored by Olympia Le Tan, it isn't the first time the girls have worn this quirky label. They wore a previous collection during their "Happiness" debut as well! Check out details on the items worn from Olympia Le Tan's "We Don't Need No Education" Spring 2015 Collection!

Porsche 911 Coupe, Turbo Spied Winter Testing
Porsche is readying updates for the 911 lineup, and our latest set of spy photos captured the 911 Coupe and Turbo testing in cold weather.
Like all 911 updates, the changes are minimal and the car retains its classic look, but there are quite a few small tweaks. A new front bumper is fitted with larger air intakes and new daytime running lights. A new rear bumper along with new rear taillights can also be seen on these prototypes.
Every model seen here features new air outlets on the rear bumper, helping to solidify a rumor that all 911s will be coming with a turbocharged engine. The smaller turbo six-cylinder will be available to help Porsche cut emissions and improve fuel economy.

boosting milk supply
can any moms give me pointer on boosting milk supply. I am pumping every three hours, and have tried fenugreek capsuels. They are working, but im still not up to 24 ounces a day like im supposed to be. I need to get the milk flowing. I am now having to stay at the hospital longer because there is not enough milk for connor in storage.
You have to drink water and herbal tea. Cookies, oatmeal, garlic, carrots, fennel, nuts (which I put in my yogurt sometimes), green papaya, sesame seed (which is already on my sandwich bun), and ginger. They all work, because I notice a difference when I don't drink or eat these things. I also take fenugreek, and still have milk to nurse and pump. Good luck!
Great advice Zabriell!
thank you ladies. I knew i could count on you.
You're welcome!
Good luck!

The problems have been building up since the mid 1990s because there are not enough waste disposal landfill sites in Naples to cope with the amount of waste.
The existing sites are mainly located near residential areas, and the dubious nature of the material being dumped there has made residents very unhappy about living near the dumps.
The problems are exacabated by the involvement of the Napolitan Mafia, the Camorra, in the waste disposal business. They make high profits from illegal dumping, including toxic waste, and it is not in their interests to find solutions that do not involve them.
In January 2008, the Prodi Government proposed the building of three new incinerators to solve the problem, but no progress had been made by the time he was voted out in May. By this time there were 200,000 tons of rotting rubbish on the streets of Naples.
The new Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, took immediate action, making the crisis his priority and appointed the head of the Civil Protection Agency, Guido Bertolaso, to solve the problem. Despite ongoing protest, Bertolaso opened a new landfill site and a new incinerator, he sent 700 tons of rubbish a day to incinerators in Germany, and planned the building of more incinerators. By september 2008 there was no rubbish left on the streets of Naples.
In March 2009, Bertolasso moved onto a new project and Berlusconi declared the problem solved. However, much of the rubbish was actually being held in temporary sites and more trouble was waiting around the corner. In October 2010 waste collection was again halted when rioting broke out in the an area of Naples called Terzigno. The residents erupted in fury when they learnt that the government was opening a new landfill site in a protected area, within the Vesuvius National Park, very close to an earlier controversial site. The residents, already concerned about the high toxic levels at the first site, accuse the government of collusion with the Camorra, believing that there are insufficient controls to prevent the continued dumping of toxic waste in the area.

Consider the conversation Jane Hirschfield has about metaphors. What are your thoughts about her perspectives. In your comment note one comparison Jane provides. In addition provide a good metaphor that you have read, heard and/or used.
Language Matters
The metaphors used were fairly common that we use everyday. We use metaphors everyday without realizing it and similes as well that we compare two things with as and like.
A metaphor I know of ugly as a duckling which is more of a simile
I really enjoyed this video. I found the animation very smooth and intriguing. The hammering in the next door class wasn't so distracting. One metaphor in the video I noticed was " and elephant in the room". One metaphor I've heard before is " Life is like a box of chocolates."
Comparison picked: 'tired as a whale'. Jane's short video what quite an interesting yet agreeable experience, I didn't understand evey word in it but this was a very good video in the end. Metaphor I've heard 'I'm so hungry I can eat a horse'
After watching this video I have a better understanding of the difference between simile's and metaphor's. I think we use metaphors and similes everyday without noticing. I've heard the metaphor "roller coaster of emotions" used before.
I agree with Jane that metaphors are a really effective way to describe things because we understand better when we can picture it or compare it to something else. "Its raining cats and dogs" is a metaphor from the video that is used a lot, even though its so unrealistic it still makes the connection of A LOT of rain. I like the metaphor "you are my sunshine" its very happy and descriptive, and comes from a good song. 🙂
I really enjoyed this video on metaphors. I loved the animation and thought that it helped me understand further what the meaning of a metaphor is. I realized that we often use metaphors all the time without even realizing. I have heard people say things like "A heart of stone." To describe someone as tough or unsympathetic. I now have a greater understanding of what metaphors are and why we use them, after watching the video.
I liked the video because it explains why we use metaphors in our lives. It's true that we often think in images, and the visuals that metaphors call to mind help us have a more meaningful understanding of what someone is describing. Like saying you have a "broken heart" can't literally be true. It does, however, call to mind a feeling of sadness and grief, which are feelings that make you feel broken or damaged.
I liked the way metaphors were explained in this video. The way metaphors are described as being "art not science" makes a lot of sense when looking at famous sayings, like "all the worlds a stage". The visuals also allow for better understanding of the common metaphors mentioned. One of my favourite metaphors is "time is a thief", time does not physically steal anything from you, but time moves quickly and as it moves, our lives pass by with it.
I found this video on metaphors entertaining, it made me think about metaphors on a deeper level. Whenever I hear a metaphor I usually don't think much about it, because I've probably heard them before and already know the meaning by them. One of the ones from the video I've heard a lot is "an elephant in the room". Another metaphor I hear a lot that wasn't mentioned in this video is "time is money".
I think Jane explains metaphors really well, I agree with her that they are "art not science" but they can still feel right or wrong. Also, she did a good job at comparing similes and metaphors, in the way that similes make us think, while metaphors allow us to feel. A comparison she did was "there's an elephant in the room", we know there isn't an actual elephant, but a problem that everyone knows, but doesn't want to talk about. A metaphor I like is "Don't judge a book by its cover" which means don't judge things based on appearance.
Through this video I gained a better understanding of the difference between a simile and a metaphor. Using the word "like" in similes and not in metaphors. A metaphor I've heard a lot would be "old as the hills".
I really enjoyed this short clip because it really tells us why we use metaphors in our lives. It's so very true that what we think and see in images, and the visuals that metaphors bring to our mind assist us to have a more meaningful understanding of what someone is describing.

IAEA-sponsored training for nuclear experts starts
The IAEA session, the first in Japan, will last about three weeks and include lectures by nuclear experts on power generation and nuclear fuel cycle.
Tokyo: An International Atomic Energy Agency-sponsored training session for nuclear engineers and researchers started in Japan on Monday with around 40 people from the country and abroad attending.
The IAEA session, the first in Japan, will last about three weeks and include lectures by nuclear experts on nuclear power generation and the nuclear fuel cycle, the organisers said.
There will also be reports about the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant and subsequent developments and an inspection of decontamination work in Fukushima Prefecture, home of the complex crippled by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
The participants include some 20 energy officials from 13 countries, mainly in Asia and Africa, and around 20 engineers at Japan`s power companies and nuclear plant makers.
The session is the fourth of its kind and Japan was asked to host it before the Fukushima nuclear accident, the organisers said.
The first session was held in Italy in 2010.
Tokaimura is known as the "pioneer" site in Japan`s nuclear programme as the nation`s first research reactor achieved criticality there in 1957. (Kyodo)

LLB English and Italian Law
Canterbury Campus
The English and Italian Law programme gives you the opportunity to add valuable knowledge of Italian Law and Italian language to your degree: you spend a year studying law in Italy, after through language preparation and grounding in European legal systems at Kent.
The year abroad:
- entails study at the University of Bologna - where we have had a well-established link for many years.
- is backed by two years' preparation - you advance your prior knowledge (if any) of Italian language in the two years before your year abroad and take a full-year module to introduce you to European legal systems, including the Italian.
Year one
The first year of the programme is carefully designed to give a grounding for your later studies in both English law, and in Italian language for your year abroad.
You take these modules:
- Public Law I*
- Introduction to Obligations*
- Critical Introduction to Law
- Foundations of Property*
- and normally:
Introductory Italian (although advanced or semi-native speakers may be exempted from this module and instead study Advanced Italian or Criminal Law)
Year two
The second year again builds towards your year abroad as well as towards your English qualifying law degree. You take modules totaling 120 credits, which include more language training and an introduction to European legal systems in preparation for your study of Italian law next year.
A typical combination would be: European Legal Systems, Intermediate or Advanced Italian, European Union Law, Public Law II, The Law of Obligations*.
Year three
In your year abroad at the University of Bologna, you take modules amounting to 60 credits (roughly equivalent to half of a normal year at Kent).
The results from your year abroad are given a half-weighting in incorporating them into your degree result.
Year four
In your final year, you again take modules totaling 120 credits. Most students will want to complete their exemption modules, and there is still some scope to explore other areas of interest, maybe but not necessarily following up issues arising from the modules studied in Italy.
A typical combination would be: Land Law, Equity, Criminal Law*, 2x30 credit options.
*required for professional recognition

Are behavioral interventions effective in increasing physical activity at 12 to 36 months in adults aged 55 to 70 years? a systematic review and meta-analysis
Retirement represents a major transitional life stage in middle to older age. Changes in physical activity typically accompany this transition, which has significant consequences for health and well-being. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the evidence for the effect of interventions to promote physical activity in adults aged 55 to 70 years, focusing on studies that reported long-term effectiveness. This systematic review adheres to a registered protocol (PROSPERO CRD42011001459).
Randomized controlled trials of interventions to promote physical activity behavior with a mean/median sample age of 55 to 70 years, published between 2000 and 2010, were identified. Only trials reporting the long-term effect (≥ 12 months) on objective or self-reported physical activity behavior were included. Trials reporting physiological proxy measures of physical activity were excluded. Meta-analyses were conducted when trials provided sufficient data and sensitivity analyses were conducted to identify potential confounding effects of trials of poor methodological quality or with attrition rates ≥ 30%.
Of 17,859 publications identified, 32 were included which reported on 21 individual trials. The majority of interventions were multimodal and provided physical activity and lifestyle counselling. Interventions to promote physical activity were effective at 12 months (standardized mean difference (SMD) = 1.08, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.16 to 1.99, pedometer step-count, approximating to an increase of 2,197 steps per day; SMD = 0.19, 95% CI = 0.10 to 0.28, self-reported physical activity duration outcome), but not at 24 months based on a small subset of trials. There was no evidence for a relationship between intervention effectiveness and mode of delivery or number of intervention contacts; however, interventions which involved individually tailoring with personalized activity goals or provision of information about local opportunities in the environment may be more effective.
Interventions in adults aged 55 to 70 years led to long term improvements in physical activity at 12 months; however, maintenance beyond this is unclear. Identified physical activity improvements are likely to have substantial health benefits in reducing the risk of age-related illnesses. These findings have important implications for community-based public health interventions in and around the retirement transition.
Physical inactivity is a leading cause of death and disease. Epidemiological evidence shows a relationship between physical activity (PA) and reduced risks of coronary heart disease, Type II diabetes and some cancers, as well as increasing life expectancy
PA is a modifiable behavior that varies in relation to major life events and transitions
We are interested in promoting PA behaviors of people in and around the retirement transition. The average age of retirement varies between nations and from one year to the next. Since the early 2000s, retirement age is increasing in industrialized nations
Study selection criteria and search strategy
This systematic review adheres to a registered protocol

Trials with inadequate randomization were excluded as were trials involving participants who were institutionalized or recruited on the basis of taking a particular medication or having a pre-existing chronic or acute medical condition. Trials that only reported PA behavior earlier than 12 months after randomization, that only reported physiological proxy measures of PA as distinct from PA behavior, were laboratory-based exercise studies, or promoted high or elite performance training were also excluded.
Twelve electronic databases were searched for articles published between January 2000 and November 2010 (Medline; Embase; PsycInfo; Scopus; Web of Science; CINAHL; ASSIA; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CAB Abstracts, Conference Papers Index, WorldCat Dissertations database and Index to Theses). Search terms relating to PA, middle- to older-aged people and RCT were translated into a Medline search strategy (see Additional file

Data extraction
Data from each included publication were extracted by one reviewer and independently checked by another (Kappa = 0.86); a third reviewer was consulted to resolve discrepancies. Authors were contacted for missing data and to provide additional intervention material. Intervention content was coded in line with intervention reporting guidance
Data analysis
The primary outcome was PA behaviors. Intervention effects were assessed by grouping trials for meta-analysis by the method of assessing PA and according to the duration of follow-up measurement after randomization. Random effects models (Review Manager (RevMan), version 5.1, Copenhagen, Denmark) were used and standardized mean differences (SMD) or odds ratios (OR) were calculated depending on whether the measurement scale was continuous or dichotomous. When trials included multiple intervention arms, which compared a PA intervention arm with a dietary intervention arm, the PA intervention arm was compared to the 'no intervention, control' arm. When trials included multiple intervention arms, which compared different types of PA intervention, the arm with the most intensive intervention content was compared with the 'no intervention, control' arm. The most intensive intervention arm was defined as the arm with the greater number of 'active' intervention contacts, that is., contacts when the intervention was delivered rather than contacts when only measurements were taken. When the number of contacts was equal in the intervention arms, the most intensive arm was defined as the arm delivered by a human rather than an automated system; the arm providing the most different types of information, using the most different modes of delivery or intervention aids; or the arm with the most intense exercise prescription. The content of all intervention arms reported in a trial is described in Additional file

Data from intention-to-treat analysis were used when reported. If trials assessed PA using multiple methods, data were included in each corresponding meta-analysis. Estimations for total PA were selected for analysis over specific PA domains (for example, total PA rather than leisure time PA). Authors were contacted to provide mean and standard deviation when only the median and range were reported. When trials reported change scores from baseline, final values were computed where possible or requested from authors. For each main-effect analysis, sensitivity analyses were conducted by excluding trials of poor methodological quality or with attrition rates ≥ 30%. Possible publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and Egger's tests
Thirty-two publications were included which reported on 21 distinct trials. Of these 21 trials, 15 were included in the meta-analyses

Sixteen interventions were delivered by health professionals
The intervention settings included healthcare premises
All of the interventions, except one which involved group education and prescribed a standard PA goal of 150 minutes per week of moderately intense PA
In total, trials reported on 10,519 participants, 61% of whom were female. The mean age of participants was 60.7 years (SD = 4.4; range 55 to 67.6). Two trials provided the intervention cost per participant
For many trials, there was insufficient information to permit conclusive judgements about methodological quality; the risk of bias was unclear in approximately 50% of possible judgements. Where judgements could be made, approximately 25% of trials were rated as poor quality attributable to a lack of blinding of participants or intervention personnel, missing outcome data or selective outcome reporting (see Additional file

Trials reporting duration of PA at 12 months ordered by the number of intervention contacts.
This is the first systematic review to our knowledge to synthesize evidence from RCTs focusing on the long-term effectiveness of interventions to promote PA in adults aged 55 to 70 years. We have provided evidence to show that PA interventions are effective at 12 months but this effect is not evident at 24 months. Based on a median split of the number of intervention contacts in high quality trials reporting continuous outcomes at 12 months, there is no evidence that more contacts lead to more favorable intervention effects. Evidence from trials comparing multiple interventions suggests that mode of delivery is not necessarily important for effectiveness but that tailoring the intervention to participants with personalized step-count goals or information about local opportunities in the environment may be important.
Findings in context and interpretation
In a meta-analysis of four trials, we identified a large positive effect of 1.08 on step-count 12 months after randomization, approximating to an increase of 2,197 steps/day. The magnitude of this increase in step-count is similar to the 2,000 to 2,500 steps/day reported in previous meta-analyses of PA interventions lasting an average of 16
In a meta-analysis of 11 trials, we identified an effect size of 0.19 on self-reported PA duration 12 months after randomization. This effect is smaller than previously reported in a meta-analysis of RCT with follow-up assessments at six months (0.28)
Another recent meta-analysis
We found a lack of evidence for a relationship between intervention effectiveness and mode of delivery or intervention intensity in terms of the number of intervention contacts, which concurs with evidence from other reviews of physical activity interventions
The substantial effect we identified on walking could produce important health benefits for older adults, such as improving weight-related outcomes, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cognitive and psychological well-being
Strengths and limitations
The strengths of this review include that the search strategy was pre-specified and there was no statistical evidence that meta-analysis was affected by publication bias. Additional intervention material and data were requested from authors to improve the accuracy of the identification of intervention content and intervention intensity, and to limit missing data. We tested the sensitivity of our meta-analyses and found that the results were not influenced by trials with a high risk of bias. However, it is noted that the information provided in publications did not always allow conclusive judgements of methodological quality to be made, which resulted in many uncertain judgements. Thus, this observation limits the conclusiveness of these sensitivity analyses while highlighting the need for better reporting of trials.
This review only included trials which had been conducted with participants in countries categorized as being one of the 'most developed countries' within the United Nations index
The current evidence base is limited beyond 12 months and, therefore, RCT with longer follow-up are needed. Better reporting of trials is essential for complex interventions such as those included in this review. More factorial trials are needed to identify and isolate individual intervention components, such as tailoring and environmental factors, which may be associated with effectiveness.

In this paper, a novel frequency domain model to compute the pump to signal relative intensity noise (RIN) transfer in multi-pump Raman fiber amplifiers (RFAs) is proposed. The analytical expressions for RFAs with single pump and single signal channel are derived as a specific case of the model. The formulas exactly agree with the published results both for the co-pumped and counter-pumped RFAs. Afterwards, the pump to signal RIN transfer in multi-pump RFAs is studied numerically with thorough discussions.

Carabid beetle assemblages (Coleoptera, Carabidae) across urban-rural gradients: an international comparison
- Citations
- 687 Downloads
We studied communities of carabid beetles in residual forest patchesalong urban-suburban-rural gradients in three cities (Helsinki, Finland; Sofia,Bulgaria and Edmonton, Canada) to examine their responses to urbanisation. OnlyFinnish carabids showed a marked division of community structure along thegradient. In Bulgaria and Canada, carabids did not separate into distincturban,suburban and rural communities. Our results provide some support for thepredictions that species richness will decrease, that opportunistic specieswillgain dominance, and that small-sized species will become more numerous underdisturbance such as that provided by urbanisation. The rather weak and variedresponse of carabids to this disturbance suggests that local factors and theirinteraction are of primary importance for community composition. Occurrence ofreasonably similar carabid communities across the gradient at each of the threelevels of urbanisation suggests that habitat changes commonly associated withurbanisation have not affected the ecological integrity of carabid assemblagesin residual urban forest patches.

Tidus is a boy from the Destiny Islands in Stygian Solace.
Character History
Chapter 1: Exploiting the Horizon
"General" Tidus outlines the rules for Island War: no getting wet, or else you're dead. As team leader of the Crabs, he picks Kairi and Wakka as his teammates, leaving Sora and Selphie for Riku's team, the Seagulls.
After persuading Selphie to betray Riku and join the Crabs, Tidus's team arrives at Riku's hiding place, the broken bridge, and tries to knock Riku into the water while staying dry themselves on stilts. Sora easily dispatches Selphie and Kairi, while Riku manages to knock Tidus and Wakka off balance, making the Crabs lose the game of Island War.
Later, Tidus and Wakka have a play-battle against Riku, two-on-one.
Chapter 2: The Sky's Feelings
Tidus fights alongside Selphie and Wakka in a play battle against Riku, but all three are defeated easily.
Later, he loans a towel for Sora to give to Riku.
Chapter 3: A Child's Toy
Tidus, looking for his towel, accidentally interrupts Riku and Sora just after they share the paopu. Mortified, he leaves quickly.

Denver Wedding Music Options: Bands vs. DJs
- By Tim Berry
- June 23, 2016
- Comments Off
When it comes to choosing the right Denver wedding music providers, most newlyweds have trouble deciding between a DJ or a band. Here is some useful information to help you out:
A Wedding DJ
This is a more informal choice. However, it is hardly a secret why so many young couples are choosing to hire a wedding DJ instead of a band nowadays.
First of all, a DJ will be able to play music nonstop, ensuring all the guests will have the time of their lives without having to take a break or two. Plus, they can take special requests to play certain songs of various music genres.
Unfortunately, not all people are really accustomed to the informal idea of a wedding DJ. Plus, not all wedding DJs are able to play all the songs you want, since they might not have the authorization to do so.
A Wedding Band
This is the more traditional approach. The great thing about a wedding band – find a great one here atcmusic.com/ – is that they can play quality live music to liven up the atmosphere. They can also engage the audience by having them sing along.
However, newlyweds should be aware that bands cannot offer constant Denver wedding music, as they have to take the occasional brake.

Wow, just stunning!
My Collections:
lillianb's recommendation
For new years this year, we are thinking of hosting a retro party. Celebrating the new year, by blasting to the past. This 60s mini dress fits the dressy yet still among friends style of the party and with it's light color it'll definitely look nice with the modern flatware that we have planned. And I just might coordinate with the champagne...not that I like to match, not at all.

When you develop curriculum, do you consider the ramifications of
your strategies on the entire course that you are developing? I was
not very good at thinking long term in my first year of teaching (middle school social studies teacher).
I looked at every unit and many of my lessons in isolation. I poured
my heart and soul into too many lessons that had mild success but were
regularly disconnected in some fashion. My disconnect was with the
development of skills in a scaffold fashion without a congruence of
activities and expectations that were yearlong.
I think we need to do a better job of thinking long term with
technology as well. I see a lot of "Project" based technology use and
not necessarily a scaffolding of learning to learn with technology. Let
me put this discussion into context with how I began to evolve certain
aspects of my classroom activities from the non-tech side of things.
Here are five approaches to my class that I took to extend learning
from unit to unit throughout the entire school year. I don't pretend to say that these are innovative by any stretch of the imagination, but the point is that I tried to extend my classroom activities throughout the school year.
1. Map: By the end of my course, I wanted my students to
understand and witness the evolution of maps based upon human and
environmental interaction. The students and I would build a map on
the floor of my classroom with colored electrical tape (until I was
moved into a classroom with carpet). The students would use an
overhead map that was gridded off along with trying to use longitude
and latitude lines. This map was built upon throughout the school
year. I can still remember clearly all of the precious moments when I
had students standing on different areas of the map as we had some kind
of class discussion! The students were always amazed at what the map
looked like after all of our additions throughout the school year.
2. Timeline: By the end of my course, I wanted my students to have a better reference of time and the impact of cause and effect. The
students developed a "timeline" that was built upon the walls near the
ceiling. The students would choose to add events that we talked about
throughout the school year that they felt were the most important. The
last few weeks we would incorporate some lessons that asked our
students to evaluate the most important events and people added.
3. Gaming: By the end of my course, I wanted my students
to utilize as much of my class time as possible and to enjoy social
studies class. I tried to tie up orphan minutes with creative activities. I had students create "War Card"
cards that were based on Historical Events. Every unit we created them
so the students had a very sizable deck of events when they finished
the course. The cards were produced with Microsoft Word and the
students chose the picture that each card was associated with. The
student's creativity here was amazing. The rules changed regularly.
Sometimes, the oldest events were the most powerful and sometimes they
were the weakest, etc. Sometimes, students chose particular events to
be wild cards because of their relationship to the current unit of
study. The students than had to incorporate these cards into their
timeline voting and reflection writing as well.
4. Communications: By the end of my course, I wanted my students to understand the impact of changes through invention. At
the beginning of many lessons and always at the beginning of every
unit, I would have students introduce "information" to their classmates
in some reflection of the current unit's technology. During the
Revolution, selected students would share pamphlets. When we were
closer to the Civil War, students would pretend to read from a
telegraph machine with Morse code. World War I, students would send
out secret notes to students with mock "homing pigeons", etc. Students really got into the act as they pretended to be living in this time period.
5. The Scientific Approach to Social Studies: By the end of my course, I wanted students to question and develop their own opinions. I
tried to teach social studies with many of the techniques that science
teacher's use with their lesson planning. Students had a vocabulary
guide that they built throughout the entire school year. Students were
expected to use the scientific method when looking at primary
documents. We had centers with experiments, models, interactive, etc.
These activities were replicated throughout the school year so that we
built upon the previous expectations. (Perhaps in another blog entry I will talk about how we had several
Paper Fights as the rules changed from the Revolution where the
students through with their off-hand through World War I where we
turned all of our desks into trenches.)
The more I focused the entire course, the more I felt the students connected with the curriculum. How does this translate into improving technology use in our classrooms?
As I began to utilize technology in my classroom, the more it was
apparent that I had to have a similar outlook with my non-tech
experiences. Too often I would ask students to use technology by
creating a project and then not revisit those skills in some fashion.
I didn't scaffold the learning throughout the school year and develop
their skills by building upon previous activities. Students created
some amazing documents, videos and podcasts, but I noticed that this
didn't always translate into long term learning with technology.
I see too many projects with technology that do not translate into
stepping-stones for future projects and work. (Maybe this is just a
reflection of my previous work.) Tech conferences are full of creative
ideas with new programs and new websites. How many presentations are
focused on building skills on a long-term basis? What approach do you
take with scaffolding your technology learning? Do you have a system?
Is there are formal system that we need to focus on? Do you use Understanding by Design?
Understanding by Design
The backwards design model centers on the idea that the design
process should begin with identifying the desired results and then
"work backwards" to develop instruction rather than the traditional
approach which is to define what topics need to be covered. Their
framework identifies three main stages:
The important lesson for me in all of this is that we need to look
at technology and see that we need to scaffold the learning beyond
"project creation". I have really tried to structure this with my work
with professional development experiences and with my students. If I
want teachers to use technology well in the learning process, I think
they need to learn well with it themselves. The long term goal should
be to have our teachers utilizing technology to learn on their own,
when they need it most, where they need it most. Basically, the
desired outcome for our teachers is "lifelong learning" skills.
we sit down to build our curriculum, we need to think about where we
want out students and teachers to be with technology by the end of the
school year. Understanding by Design should not end with a single unit of study or project! Should it?

One of the biggest considerations we look at when we design our products is how to make them as versatile as possible. We know that everyone carries digital devices around with them everyday, but no one wants to carry a dedicated "laptop bag". We strive to build bags and cases that are perfect for your Monday to Friday commute, work well with today's modern work dress code as well as your digital work needs, but also look and perform just as well on the weekend when the vibe is more casual. And while product shots are great, nothing beats showing the product in context.
Knowing that everyone's style is individual and that mixing formal with casual to create your own eclectic mix is now the norm, we've created 3 dress code pillars at a very basic level to give you an idea of how our PKG bags can be integrated into any type of outfit. Click on one of the three images below to see the first installment of our '"WEEKEND", "WEEKDAY CASUAL" and "WEEKDAY FORMAL" images. These shots are simply there to give a visual understanding of the size, aspect and versatility of our bags in each environment.
Moving forward, we'll be teaming up with various photographers to bring you images of our bags mixed with everything from blue jeans to 3-piece suits, to show you just how versatile our products really are. We would welcome your feedback as well as your own personal product shots, so feel free to write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com or send us your images to show us how you dress up or dress down your PKG bag. We may post your shots on the next installment.

I thought this comment from someone from Cupcakes for Breakfast summed it up really;
"This report- why so shouty, Scientology?
One thing (out of many) that struck me is the zero self-awareness demonstrated by whoever wrote it. They casually list the actions that drove Lori and Dee away- (the SO recruiter pounding on the door- just that alone registers on the crazy scale- not to mention the circumstances surrounding it- they wanted to recruit the underage son- Lori had surgery and was in pain, the sniping the kids away behind their moms back, the "who have you been talking to, who showed you the "bad" websites-all of it!)
It is off the charts creepy and controlling and insidious and WRONG! At any point, did any of them have the thought of, "maybe we could have handled this better?" Probably not. They have all the finesse of a blunt instrument. There is no common sense, no wisdom, no humility, no kindness, no compassion, no learning, no real human connection. They are a bunch of snakes. This whole story makes me feel ragey, and this letter is just a perfect example of why."
Juicer77 answered it thusly;
"As Chuki says, it's because they've been thought programmed to do things a certain way - Hubbard's way - and never ever deviate from it. That includes snitching every little thing "for their own good." It's diabolical. The thought patterns are retrained from early on (Training Routines) to shut down critical thought. They are utterly convinced that because Hubbard said so, this IS exactly the right way to handle it. Any individual or critical thought gets stamped out early, and hard. People start to "wake up" when something happens to shake their certainty in those ingrained patterns."

The story
Unless you have been hiding under an iceberg for the past few weeks, you will have noticed an increase in the amount of media attention on the Titanic. This is because the 100 year anniversary of its sinking takes place on Sunday.
Teaching ideas
A lesson on the sinking of the Titanic would be a great way to test KS3 students' understanding about forces and give them valuable practice at how to write a good scientific explanation.

Denver-based psych quartet Woodsman has two drummers and two guitarists, which creates a sound that would fit perfectly in a late '60s acid trip. The songs usually start from a place of calm meditation, and then bubble up into lines of weaving, heady guitar with sturdy tribal drum rhythms that catapult the three-dimensional tapestries forward.
It's often unclear whether the band is following a template or just letting the music flow out of them naturally. Occasionally, the songs meander, leaving the listener feeling lost, but more commonly, they build into trance-inducing psychedelic sections of blipping electronic noises, shamanistic drum beats and spiraling guitars. Think Animal Collective circa 2003-2005, but with more nature and less big city.
Woodsman released two records last year, the full-length Rare Forms and the Mystic Places EP. A better introduction to the band, however, is the 2010 record titled Mystery Tape EP. Mystery Tape is an album that you can immerse yourself in, with concise, well-directed songs that showcase the band's strong writing.
Woodsman is playing Treefort Music Fest on Thursday, March 22, at Neurolux from 8-8:40 p.m.

DePlaza and his staff are outstanding!
I think the most important thing I can share is how very experienced DePlaza is, and that he's phenomenal in the courtroom.
If you're in distress because you have had incompetent representation that has made your case a disaster, you can expect a "Hail Mary" turnaround with Deplaza on your team.
From the very beginning, it was evident that each and every one of DePlaza's staff, sincerely cared for the interest of my child, and not just about me as a paying client.
I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Mr. DePlaza, and his staff.
I've had the unfortunate fate of being in serious litigation, that spanned over a decade. I've had more attorneys than any poor soul should ever have to have, and our case was likely one of the most complex cases one could ever choose to represent.
Hands down, DePlaza was "BY FAR" the best attorney I've ever had!
In the past, I was often in despair, because attorneys would neglect our family's very serious case, to give their entire attention to their high-profile cases. We sadly discovered that division of millions was more important to them than a hurting child.
With my past attorneys, I felt very alone, as if I was simply a paycheck. Past attorneys were inaccessible, with a complete lack of empathy or concern.
In stark contrast, DePlaza was the most accessible attorney I've ever had, with a cheerful office manager that answers immediately, directing your calls accordingly.
DePlaza never goes on holiday when your case needs attention. I remember when he was in his office on a Sunday working on my case, and that was on Thanksgiving weekend! I really teared up when he called during the Thanksgiving Holiday. I was so moved by his devotion. It was more than I could've ever thought possible. I had never had an attorney that actually cared before, I had come to believe they didn't exist.
DePlaza is the only attorney that has ever given me their personal cell phone number. DePlaza even answered an urgent after hours call, while at dinner party. That's how much he cares about his clients!
DePlaza's legal secretary is spectacular! Lisa is exceptionally gifted at what she does. Lisa does most of the paperwork and orders. Lisa is fast and efficient, which saved me money! Lisa is the warmest, most kind person you'll ever meet, and that really meant a lot to me, because we had to work together on some difficult issues, and her calming nature helped keep me calm.
DePlaza has decades of experience, and he is the most efficient attorney I've ever employed. He knows what he's doing, and he works with precision and speed. Thus, I didn't get charged the ridiculously, long hours other attorneys often charged me to research what they should have learned in law school, and that saved me a lot of money!
DePlaza is a machine in the courtroom. Deplaza has a powerful presence. He's an intense and aggressive individual, with incredible litigation skills. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone with more passion or intensity when fighting for their clients.
DePlaza was emotionally invested, and deeply cared about the wellbeing of my child, and that zeal and passion made all the difference in the world.
This protective mom is forever grateful for our champion Laurence DePlaza, and our family is so very thankful to have found such an incredibly loyal, devoted and skilled attorney.
Posted by anonymous
Larry is big on words and poor on action.
I never felt protected with Deplaza as my lawyer, and had to switch lawyers after 6 months.
I repeatedly had to argue with him to get him to take simple actions, and defend baseless claims made against me. Still, there was always a reason he didn't want to go in front of a judge to help.
The result was a lot of talk & nothing accomplished except a LOT of fees charged.
He demonstrated he was more concerned how he looked to the other firm's lawyers, than what I need him to do.
Sheadyn Rogers, Personal injury Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Deplaza is a highly rated family lawyer who practices law with high ethics and integrity. I would recommend him to potential clients.
