Quanta v. LGE ruling by US Supreme Court on 9 June 2008
Quanta v. LGE is a 2008 decision by the US Supreme Court which had a big influence on patent exhaustion.
NOTE: this page is very incomplete. It currently serves as a place to document the case to see if there are important aspects for software patents.
The context
- LGE purchased patents
- LGE licensed those patents to Intel
- Quanta purchased chips from Intel
- Quanta sold computers with the Intel chips plus non-Intel chips
- LGE sued Quanta
- The Supreme Court said: "the exhaustion doctrine prevents LGE from further asserting its patent rights with respect to the patents substantially embodied by those [Quanta] products"
Although the Court permitted postsale restrictions on the use of a patented article in Henry v. A. B. Dick Co., 224 U. S. 1 (1912), that decision was short lived. In 1913, the Court refused to apply A. B. Dick to uphold price-fixing provisions in a patent license. See Bauer & Cie v. O'Donnell, 229 U. S. 1, 14–17 (1913) . Shortly thereafter, in Motion Picture Patents Co. v. Universal Film Mfg. Co., 243 U. S. 502, 518 (1917) , the Court explicitly overruled A. B. Dick. In that case, a patent holder attempted to limit purchasers' use of its film projectors to show only film made under a patent held by the same company. The Court noted the "increasing frequency" with which patent holders were using A. B. Dick-style licenses to limit the use of their products and thereby using the patents to secure market control of related, unpatented items. 243 U. S.,at 509, 516–517. Observing that "the primary purpose of our patent laws is not the creation of private fortunes for the owners of patents but is 'to promote the progress of science and useful arts,' " id., at 511 (quoting U. S. Const., Art. I, §8, cl. 8)
Could this be used to argue for patents to be disallowed on file formats or other compatibility or interoperability information?

I've spotted my first Obama Stimulus Package Logo
As you may have read, President Obama has unveiled a new ARRA logo (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) which he intends to stamp on projects funded by his spending spree. I spotted my first today, which is pictured above. Seems kind of brazen to me, but what do I know?

A great MUN journey with great MUNers! Written by Efe ÖRENCİK
A great MUN journey with great MUNers! Written by Efe ÖRENCİK. Before starting my first article in Munturkey.com I want to introduce myself. My name is Efe. I'm living in Bursa and I'm 11th grade in Tan High schools.
I've participated in 7 MUN.These are;IIMUN,EUROASIAMUN,TANMUN,MUNDP,BUMUN. It's a pleasure to be a writer to this very prestigious website. I started my MUN journey in 2015. When I was in 9th grade our advisors told me that there was a training for MUN in our school and they told me to apply to it. I didn't have any idea about MUN so first I didn't want to but my friends insisted that I apply and I was going to love it, and they told me MUN is a lifestyle. At first, I didn't understand it. So I applied to it and they allocated a country and they gave a piece of paper called "Study Guide" and they said that I had to write a thing called "Opening Speech". First I didn't read the Study Guide so writing an Opening Speech was very hard for me. I realized it so I read the Study Guide and wrote my first Opening Speech. In this training, I didn't talk too much and now I'm regretful for it.
Now I want to continue to my article with unforgettable MUN conferences for me. I want to start by my first big MUN conference: IIMUN 2016(Istanbul Technical University International Model United Nations). I went it with my schoolmates. We know less thing about writing a resolution paper. But we wrote a draft resolution and we represented it. It was failed but we tried to pass it. We made several friends and we had very unforgettable memories. This was my first big conference. Now I want to tell my first conference which I was chairing position. It was TANMUN 2018(Tan Model United Nations). It was my best conference ever. I was inexperienced in chairing but I think I did it very well. My delegates said to me "Chair, you gave us lots of punishments. Me, the other chair and our admins have thought of some very heavy punishments. They called us "Punishers". Being chair is a very proud and very amusing thing I liked the chairing position most.
And I want to continue with my most amusing conference: MUNDP 2017(Model United Nations Development Programme). Especially its social events. I saw my friends from IIMUN 2016(Istanbul Technical University International Model United Nations) and they are very amusing people. They danced very well. MUNDP's procedure was different. Other MUN's in Turkey are in Harvard MUN procedure but MUNDP is THAIMUN. The difference of THAIMUN from Harvard MUN is the passed the motions. And lastly, I want to tell EUROASIAMUN 2016. I was in UNDP(United Nations Development Programme) committee. I liked this committee most because it contents all problems in the world. Committees main subject is SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
If you want me to write an article about it you can mail me about this. Also, you can mail me whatever you want to ask a question. This is my first article in Munturkey.com. I hope you enjoyed reading my article.

Cannabidiol is escalating that is regularly removed from mechanical hemp. Different plants contain cannabinoids, and individuals routinely bungle CBD for THC tetrahydrocannabinol which is another kind of cannabinoid. Rather than THC, CBD doesn't cause a high or euphoric impact since it doesn't affect undefined receptors from THC. By law, present day hemp from which CBD is disengaged must contain close to 0.3 percents THC to be viewed as hemp; generally, producers are in danger for arraignment under government law. CBD has been credited with facilitating pressure, aggravation; absence of rest, and torment, yet straightforwardly, the most intelligent check rests with its belongings in individuals with epilepsy. Epidiolex is fix CBD oil that was FDA grasped in June 2018 for two exceptional and veritable sorts of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut issue LGS and Dravet issue.
Head assessments have shown a remarkable impact for cbd oil canada torment; in any case, more research is required as more prominent well-orchestrated preliminaries of longer length to pick its significant lot plausibility and security. Cannabis is thought to work by diminishing disturbance in the mind and material system by techniques for an impact on cannabinoid and different receptors, particle channels, anandamide a substance that manages our reaction to devastation and synthetics. A far reaching 2018 survey on the utilization of cannabis and cannabidiol things for help with burden conveyed. Cannabinoids don't radiate an impression of being equivalently persuading in the treatment of all devastation conditions in people. Cannabinoids are not viable against excellent devastation. Cannabinoids may just unassumingly diminish unremitting hopelessness.
CBD in mix in with THC is suggested by the European Federation of Neurological Societies as a second or third-line treatment for focal torment in different scleroses, and by Canadian specialists as a third-line overseer for neuropathic torment. 22 out of 29 starters analyzing cannabis/cannabinoid use for wearisome non-affliction torment neuropathic torment, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid joint exacerbation, and blended relentless torment found a significant torment relieving impact and a couple revealed overhauls in different results like rest or spasticity. 5 randomized groundwork's indicated Cannabis gave 30 rates decrease in torment scores for individuals with ceaseless neuropathic torment, for example, that from diabetes, HIV or harm. A Cochrane audit saw all cannabis-based remedies as better than fake treatment or standard prescriptions for neuropathic torment; in any case, a touch of these central focuses may be outperformed by potential damages, for example, sedation, perplexity, or psychosis. Most things contained THC.

Recently, the concept of the open shower has become increasingly popular. While they may seem odd to some, walk-in showers can be advantageous in a number of ways, including assisting with accessibility issues and making a bathroom seem larger than it actually is.
Below we'll discuss a handful of the pros and cons to doorless showers—such as little privacy and escaping water and heat. While showers without doors are not for everyone, we have a hunch you'll know whether these open concept showers are right for your home by the end of this blog.
Make Your Shower an Accessible Space
Regardless of who currently resides in your home—from toddlers to grandparents—chances are at some point or another, you or a loved one could benefit from the accessibility offered by an open shower stall. From injuries to old age, having a bathroom that employs a doorless shower means being able to heal or age in place. When you eliminate the curb on your current shower, or carry out a bathroom design without one, you open up a world of possibilities by making your shower a space for all to enjoy.
In the Open Air
An open shower stall gives you the luxury of showering in the open air, which can be especially wonderful in warmer months when you can open up windows and let the sun pour in. But these doorless showers can also make for a chillier shower experience throughout the winter season. Luckily, with bathroom design options like radiant floor heating, heated towel racks, and heat lamps, you can maintain that open-air feel while keeping your bathroom warm and cozy.
Save the Spray for Yourself
One of the main drawbacks of open-air showers can be the spraying water. Without a shower door, your entire bathroom can quickly end up soaked by the time you're done sudsing up. Luckily, there are several ways to keep water in the shower stall, while still maintaining that open-air feel:
- Rain-style showerheads, which help cast water downward.
- Handheld showerheads, which allow you to control spray direction.
- Half-walls, which offer a division between your doorless shower and the rest of your bathroom.
- Full-walls, which still provide a doorless shower experience, but also add an additional layer of privacy.
- A graded shower floor, which helps to ensure that water flows to your shower drain.
- Additional floor and wall tile outside the shower area, which protects the surrounding region from water damage. Waterproofing the area around your shower the same way that you would the inside of the shower is especially important for showers that are both curbless and doorless.
If you are starting to think a walk in shower might be right for you, here are a few more ideas to keep in mind:
1. Remember to ensure proper drainage to guard against damage from standing water.
2. Select surfaces that hold their own against moisture, such as porcelain, glass tile, metal stone, or engineered quartz.
3. Opt for non-slippery flooring, as surfaces can become slick.

We are delighted to introduce Sadie Stoddart who is currently finishing her BA(hons) at Moray College UHI. Her current practice uses weeds as a metaphor to explore our relationship with the constructed narrative used by the media to discuss topics of a social, political and historical nature. The similarities in the language used to describe displaced plants and displaced people allow an exploration of issues such as control and belonging, to be examined through a different lens. Using collective voices and disjointed phrases she hopes to question the impact this rhetoric has on us and our views on these subjects. Using low value, temporary materials, such as mono-prints on newsprint, Plaster of Paris and found objects to further question the value of both the language and the ways in which they appear in our lives.
"I'm really excited and honoured to be Circus Artspace's first intern. As a recent graduate from Moray School of Art it's great to remain in a creative environment and be part of a community, while remaining in my hometown. I'm looking forward to gaining some hands on experience, being involved in events and developing my own practice." Sadie Stoddart
Sadie's degree show is open to the public from 17th - 22nd June at Moray College UHI and you can see more of her work on Instagram @sadiestoddart
Thank you to everyone who took the time to apply for our internship.
Circus Artspace run an internship programme, 4 times a year we will advertise for one intern post. Interns will work as part of the Circus collective gaining first hand experience in all the activities carried out by an artist-run collective.

The Day Santa Claus Died
There had been a sudden dip in temperature that day. The air was crisp. Christmas was in the air.
The men were gathering for work, and as they gathered, they talked. Most of them still had last minute things to do for their families' Christmases. They hoped that their children hadn't found the toys that they had been making for them. Mr. Haslam was holding little gifts for most of the men's wives. They sure hoped that their wives would like them. They would have to go down to Mr. Haslam's store right after work and pick them up. Did anyone know how to wrap a pretty package?
Steve Novota and Anthony Pekovitch hadn't reported for the shift yet. They must be sick for it wasn't like them to miss a day's work. Mike Potsick was teasing his sons and wondering if the new baby would be yet another son. Andy Corby and his sons were talking to Mike Tirpak and his sons. The Sarver brothers were playfully scuffling around. They were just seventeen and eighteen, but darned good workers.
Men continued to drift in to the group: Supini, Negra, Geletka, Luconic, Catherwood. Andy Campbell met a barrage of teasing and jokes when he came up. He was an old married man of two weeks that day.
Just about the last man to come was Tom Jackson. He was to play Santa Claus for the village children that evening at the City Hall. He had been doing it for years and loved it.
In all, there were 52 men who went to work that day. The men got in the cars and went down to their work. They didn't notice anything until after "Santa" Jackson threw the switch that turned on the lights in the tunnel.
That drop in temperature had been accompanied by an unusual drop in barometric pressure. This had caused the escape of deadly methane gas.
The light switch sparked. There was a flash, followed by two explosions. 52 men died in the Moweaqua Coal Mine that day. Fathers, sons, brothers and husbands died that day. Santa died that day. Moweaqua almost died that day: December 24, 1932.
It is now 1972, and it is nearing Christmas time again. Moweaqua is now a quiet little farming community. The village is getting ready for the holidays. Steve Novota is helping his son decorate the television store. He will take his sister, May Supini, and Mrs. Luconic to midnight mass. There aren't many of them left now. They have either passed away or moved to the big city (Chicago).
The old ones that are left will do their shopping in Moweaqua's thriving business district. There is a variety of business and professional places: supermarkets, restaurants, barber and beauty shops, dry goods and variety stores, a cabinet and woodworking shop, printing shop, ceramic shop, a Ford agency, auto body and repair shops, appliance shops, plumbing and heating shops, a jewelry store, gas stations, a bowling alley, a medical doctor and a dentist, cement plant, fertilizer plant, antique shops, laundromat and dry cleaning shops, lawyers, feed stores, and grain elevators.
There is no coal mine.

[This story was written by my mother about the little farm town we both grew up in-- Moweaqua, Illinois. Mom went to school with many of the children who lost fathers and brothers in the mine disaster.
The three photos I used here were taken from an excellent resource, Mining More in Moweaqua. If you'd like to read more about it, that's the best place to go.]

What a powerful story, Cathy! Thank you so much for sharing the talents of your mother.ReplyDelete
I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas - and I look forward to reading more of your reviews in 2010.
How very sad. The only way many things will be rememberes is if someone will write it down, like your mom has done here.ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Wow. Thanks so much for sharing that. Very moving.ReplyDelete
Her words held me pinned to the screen to the end. Thank you for sharing this story and your mother's writing.ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas.
Cathy, Your mother's story brought me to tears. Of course you know I know coal mining country in IL, and now I live where they mined anthracite coal in PA and there are tragic mine disaster stories here too. Those coal mining families were so strong; they led a hard life. Their stories should not be forgotten and your mother's story should help preserve them.ReplyDelete
That just gave me chills. I remember when those men were trapped in the mine in West Virginia several years ago - I couldn't help but think how brave they were to face going in that mine every day in order to make a living for their families. You should read Rocket Boys by Homer Hickam.ReplyDelete
Your mother's story moved me to tears. I'm glad she put that down on paper for all of us to remember.ReplyDelete
I want to wish you and your husband a happy Christmas. I'm sure with all those trees it will be very merry.
What a sad but beautiful story, Cathy.ReplyDelete
Molly-- I'm glad you liked Mom's story. Happy New Year!ReplyDelete
Sharon-- One of my dearest friends ran the Coal Mine Museum there in town. Mom left out the saddest parts. Happy New Year!
Beth-- You're welcome. Happy New Year!
Michele-- You're welcome. Little did she know that some of her stories would be shared with a much wider audience than family. :) Happy New Year!
Barbara-- One thing I learned quite early: those mining families had very little, but they were first to pay their bills while the rich folks in town were usually past due. Happy New Year!
Kathy-- I have read Rocket Boys. I could never do what miners do each and every day. I am completely phobic about being underground. I don't even want to be buried when I kick the bucket. Happy New Year!
Margot-- We had a wonderful Christmas, and I certainly hope you and yours did, too. Happy New Year!
Aarti-- I'm glad you liked it. Happy New Year!
Very beautiful, but sad story. Wonderfully written. Thanks for sharing. It's something that should be remembered.ReplyDelete
MC-- Thanks for stopping by! I can get depressed if I think about all that's being lost because it's not been recorded anywhere. I'm so glad that Moweaqua got the grant money for the website.ReplyDelete

A look into the lives of our Community Creatives
What inspired you to venture into motion designer?
"I started to learn motion graphics because friends of mine needed interesting looking end credits for their short films. I found out that I really enjoyed combining text and image animations to create aesthetic sequences. I even started to take my favorite comic frames and animate them, which I had a lot of fun with."
"I'm still solidifying my style as I love experimenting, but I really love making colorful and striking imagery coupled with fluid animation. Even with comic book style clips I enjoy smooth transitions that are satisfying to the viewer. Also, in both more branded content and comic style content, I like giving the motion weight and life so that each movement feels very concrete and satisfying."
"For me when it comes to motion graphics and design the process is so much fun, and If someone finds something I make nice to look at or is entertained by the more parody graphics I do, that makes me really happy. It sounds very simple but I think I like creating art that people see and think, "That looks really cool" or "I had fun watching this." If anything I hope to encourage more people to make something they really enjoy and keep passing on positivity to each other. On the film side I very much enjoy making stories that center on human beings, experiences and emotions both in humorous and more serious ways."
"To me, a good fitting shirt is comfortable and breathable allowing for both layered wear and activity without overheating or too much stiffness. It also can't be too loose so that it feels secure on my body."
"I mainly freelance as a video editor, colorist and motion designer. I've also been dabbling in graphic design and event photography, which is all at https://srgandhi.myportfolio.com."
"Hmm probably "Let Go" by Jolly."
"Casual: Jeans and a Tshirt, maybe with a cardigan or summer jacket. Formal: Corduroy jacket, dark colored button down shirt, black pants."
"Probably jackets or bowties. I was a huge tie geek back in middle and high school."
"Plum Purple patterned dress shirt. I like me some dark purple."

Donna M. Videto, a SUNY Cortland professor of health who has influenced the national field of health education, will deliver the keynote address at the institution's annual Honors Convocation on Saturday, April 21.
The College will recognize 388 students for their academic accomplishments at the event, which begins at 7 p.m. in the Park Center Alumni Arena. An academic procession of SUNY Cortland faculty will open the Honors Convocation. A reception for the honorees and guests will follow in the same location.

Videto has worked in school health education and pedagogy for three decades. Before joining SUNY Cortland in 1992, Videto taught health education in the public schools for six years. She has a doctorate in health education from Pennsylvania State University, and master's and bachelor's degrees in the discipline from Southern Connecticut State University.

She serves as an editor and reviewer for national periodicals in her profession.
Since 2009, she has been a co-investigator in partnership with the state Health Education Department, which has funded the School Health Systems Change Project.

Starting from one corner, roll the paper into a cone, adjusting to form your desired shape. Use a strong adhesive to hold it in place. Hats will measure differently according to how tight you roll your cone. 4. Cut the 11″ circle to form the base of the hat. 5. Center the cone on the base and trace the bottom of cone onto circle shape. Trace another circle within the first, about a 1/2″ smaller than the original. 6. Trim out innermost center circle, then use scissors to cut ½" slits approximately 1″ apart around the entire outer circle to create tabs. Fold tabs upward. 7. Staple, or adhere with a strong adhesive, the tabs into the cone, starting from where you would like the front of your hat to be.
1. Cut out spiderweb cupcake liners and trim off the tabs. 2. Attach four of the 2 ½" spiderweb liners underneath the base of circle so that the edges of the webs extend beyond the rim of the hat. 3. Attach the 2″ spiderweb liners along the top of the hat's brim against the inner edges, near the cone.
1. Select where you would like the front of your hat to be and adhere the 2″ banner to it. 2. Adhere 1 ¼" banners overlapping the larger banner around the bottom of the cone. 3. Cut several ½" strips of B&T paper, pleat them, and attach them end to end on the bottom of the cone. 4. Cut out flowers, spiderweb, and vines from the Cricut® Artiste cartridge. 5. Use an embossing tool to mold the leaves of the branch shapes. Ink the edges with Slate ink using the sponge dauber. 6. Ink the edges of the flowers in Thistle and Sunset using the sponge dauber. Using your quilling tool, roll the flowers, adhere them closed, and add Sparkles to the center of each as desired. 7. Attach the spiderweb to the side of the cone and layer the floral arrangement on top of it. 8. Back the "Spooky" metal shape from your Scaredy Cat Complements with Thistle cardstock and add it to the floral arrangement.
1. Cut a 2″ x 12″ strip of Thistle cardstock. Cut a 1″ notch every ¼". 2. Using your quilling tool, roll the strip until the solid edge is small enough to fit into the hole at the top of the cone. Adhere it so it cannot unroll. Make sure the roll is small enough to fit into the top of the cone. If needed, trim the tip of the hat to allow more space for the topper. 3. Fit the curled hat topper into the hole at the top of the hat and secure with adhesive. 4. Using your quilling tool, roll the ¼" strips downward into tight curls. 5. Cut the ribbon into 3″ pieces, loop them, and adhere them individually to the top of the hat, arranging them in layers. 6. Add stars from the Scaredy Cat Assortment.
Embellish your hat with the Scaredy Cat Assortment, sequins from the Mini-Medley Accents black collection, Slate diagonal striped ribbon, or other accents of your choice.
You can create a variety of decorative hats using the cone and base shapes shown above. Check out these clever variations:

Nick Baker, Founder & Managing Director
07973 654097
In April 2014 we started planning this online shop to make available some of the Champagnes I have invested in, purchased not just because of the brand name, but because I enjoy drinking certain vintages of what the best Champagne Houses release as their prestige cuvees.
My background, until mid 2002, was in wine, I started straight out of Harper Adams University in 1989 into a sales role with Grants of St James's and went on to head their marketing department. Then in 1994 I did a year with Louis Roederer's UK agent and it confirmed my love of great Champagne. I followed this with a move to Brown Forman looking after Fetzer Vineyards and had four great years working with the pioneer of wine from organically grown grapes.
During this time I worked with the winemaking team to create many new wines suited for the UK market. With a bug for California, in 1999 I moved abroad to join Kendall Jackson as Marketing Director again involved with developing and launching their new wineries from Italy, Australia, Chile and Argentina. Along the way I passed all three Wine & Spirit Education Trust qualifications. I was incredible lucky to work with so many wine-making teams in creating some great wines.
In 2002 I set up my own ecommerce business in photography and since then I have been lucky enough to be able to just invest in and enjoy wine without any commercial ties or links to any wineries or brands.
When we launched in September 2014 we had less than a dozen champagnes, with the idea of testing the concept of same day delivery of champagne in London; we soon discovered customers loved a reliable, well priced, fast and confidential service and we soon needed a full range of champagnes. Now we have over 300 champagnes and improved the delivery offering to delivery within three hours in London and next day for the rest of the UK.
In the last 20 years there has been a couple of vintages in Champagne that are widely acclaimed as outstanding; these being 1996 and 2002, with many others nearly as good like 1998 and 2006. Looking forward 2008 is looking like it may turn out as good as 2002. Our strategy is to purchase plenty of these great vintages so we can sell them for many years to come as they will all continue to develop and become greater with time.
With 2008 vintage champagnes now widely available, there are many wine writers saying 2008 could be at least as good as 2002. I have now tasted many from 2008, all are very youthful but have a perfect balance with bundles of fruit, great acidity and that purity and mouthfeel you only see in great years. So my tip is buy magnums from these great years, the perfect bottle size to age champagne.

Comrades soldiers, sailors, officers, generals and admirals! Today out country is celebrating the twenty-ninth anniversary of the Soviet Army.
The Soviet Army, founded by the great Lenin, has trodden a glorious path. Its entire history is a living example of freedom ......Soviet Arny in the Great Patriotic War.
The Motherland wiil never forget the high heroic deeds of its army.
The Soviet Army celebrates its twety-ninth anniversary at the moment when our people are untiringly accomplishing the tasks set by the devastation of the war, in the re-establishment and development of the national eeonomy.
The workers, peasants and intellectuals of our country, who have successfully fulfilled the quotas of the first year of the new Five Year Plan, struggle heroically for the rapid acceleration of economic activity, for the supplementation of production of consumer goods, for the rapid progress of Soviet science and technology.
The elections to the Supreme Soviets of the Federal Republics, which were held, have resulted in the complete victory of the bloc of Communists and their Party. It shows that the unity of Soviet society is indestructible, that all the Soviet citizens are firmly grouped behind their government and the Communist Party, and are firmly assuring the development of their Motherland.
In times of peace, the Soviet Army must accomplish the task of military preparation which they have been set, march in advance and win new and more important successes in military preparation and political education. The work of consolidating peace and the security of our country is required.
The essential principle of the military preparation of the Soviet armed forces has always consisted, and still consists today, of educating the troops in war conditions. The experience of the last war has proved the high morale and combat quality of the troops, a good military and political preparation, a great mastery of the techniques of combat, coordination and great physical endurance.
The task that now faces our army, navy and airforce is to untiringly perfect, day by day, their military formation, to profitably pursue profound study based on their experience of war.
The generals, admirals and officers must continue to broaden their knowledge of military theory and politics and equally learn the methods of military preparation, which are necessary for training in peace time.
The non-commissioned officers must .energetically apply the process of command to become the prime aides of officers in the observance of military discipline and in the instruction and education of soldiers and sailors.
The soldiers and sailors must, with all their might, perefct in detail their preparation from the point of view of mastery of weapons, of special military tactics and political formations; they must acquire the necessary physical strength to take part in combat and be able to surmount all difficulties of battles and combat.
In the instruction and education of their subordinates, all the commanders and chiefs must take it upon themselves to care for their conditions of life, their physical well-being and their equipment, in accordance with the regulations.
Strong military discipline is primarily based on the high conscience and political education of the military and is the preliminary condition of most importance for the combat strength of our armed forces. Also, all the commanders and chiefs must untiringly affirm military discipline and, very necessary, encourage the spirit of patriotism unceasingly in their subordinates, the sense of personal responsibility of every soldier for the defence of the Motherland.
Comrades soldiers, sailors and non-commissioned officers!
Comrades officers, generals and admirals!
I salute and congratulate you on the occasion of the twenty-ninth anniversary of our Soviet Army, in the name of the Soviet government and of our Communist Party.
In honour of the twenty-ninth anniversary of the Soviet Army, I order: today, 23 February, a salute of twenty artillery salvoes in the capital of our Motherland, Moscow, in the capitals of the federative republics, in Koliningrad, Lvov, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, Port Arthur and in the heroic cities of Leningrad, Stalingrad, Sebastopol and Odessa.
Long live the Soviet Army and the military sailors!
Long live our Soviet government!
Long live our great Communist Party!
Long live our great Soviet people!
("Slaviane," 23 February, 1947)

spring-web modules
(see #55). Please refer to the
updating notes if you are updaing from an earlier version
of Togglz.
TogglzRule now supports feature variations.

CompositeStateRepository to read feature state from multiple
wrapped state repositories.
ServerNameActivationStrategy for activating features only on certain

FeatureManager using a supported DI container
like CDI or Spring. To do so, make sure your container manages an instance of
FeatureManager (for example by writing a CDI producer method)
and then set
web.xml to
true to tell Togglz to skip the automatic bootstrapping process
for a
FeatureManager managed by Togglz.
FeatureManagerFactory that simplifies the creation of a
FeatureManager managed by Spring. See the javadocs for
for details.
@Owner and
@InfoLink that your can place on your features. If you want to define your own attribute,
just create an annotation and place
@FeatureAttribute on it. Have a look the source of
for an example.
EnumBasedFeatureProvider now supports multiple enums. This means that you can now
split your feature toggles across multiple Java enums.
TogglzFilter now tries to autodetect whether
it should bootstrap a feature manager itself or if you already created one using a supported
container like CDI or Spring. This means that you typically don't have to set
FEATURE_MANAGER_PROVIDED manually.
Feature interface doesn't force the user to implement
isActive() anymore.
Please note that this change requires you to remove the
@Override annotation from your implementation of
the method.
JDBCStateRepository too work in the wrong database schema
(see #38).
SingleUserProvider to simplify configuration of environments where only one (virtual) user exists.
NamedFeature to replace the deprecated
StaticFeatureManagerProvider simplifies the configuration of Togglz in standalone applications.
TogglzConfig interface. As an alternative to this,
you can now implement
TogglzBootstrap instead. Doing this allows you to configure more aspects of Togglz as you can
directly interact with the
FeatureManagerBuilder instead of just configuring some of it's properties.
FeatureManagerListener has been added which allows you to get notified when Togglz starts up
and shuts down. This SPI has been added for other Togglz modules but may also be used directly by the user.
@WithFeature annotation of the JUnit integration module now allows to activate multiple feature
at once and may even be used if you want to explicitly disable certain features in a test.
StateRepository interface, you will have to
update your implementation to persist the new
FeatureState data structure. Have a look at the
other state repositories if you have any problems.

Castillo del Buen Amor
Amid a 116 hectare meadow and surrounded by holm oak, cork oak, pine, vineyard and almond trees, stands the Castillo del Buen Amor Royal Posada, a 15th century castle-palace built over a pre-11th century fortress, where you may rest in close contact with nature far away from any noise. Popular tradition nicknamed the castle 'Del Buen Amor' as it was the dwelling Bishop Alonso de Fonseca Quijada shared with his lover Teresa de las Cuevas and the four children he had with her.
Many of its original elements and the decoration with antique furniture have been conserved in accordance with the building's characteristics. There are several balconies, a pool, a small lagoon and a mushroom labyrinth on the outside. The Buen Amor Posada is structured around the central Gothic patio with the reception area, bar, convention room, five social rooms - where you can listen to music, read a book you find in the castle library, play table games or cards…

Digital's follow-my-leader business model will boost UBI
Carmakers will have to take the lead role in the future success of UBI by operating data sharing business models similar to those seen in the digital world.
That's the opinion of Josep Celaya, director of corporate innovation at Mapfre who sees the long term data solutions as being embedded and managed by the car manufacturers.
Speaking to TU-Automotive, Celaya said: "The end scenario is that we reach the environment of the connected car if the business models are available, and the OEM is the one who should provide those business models, then we will have the opportunity of increasing market penetration of UBI."
However, manufacturers must not shoulder all the burden and insurers must develop UBI services that are attractive to customers, he added.
"It's also about designing new value propositions," said Celaya. "Up until now it's only been about price. If we put customer equipment in the vehicle that is expensive that will affect the business case. If you consider the market of the south of Italy, for example, suffers from a very high instance of crime where you can cherry-pick the potential risks and then business case is possible.
"But for the rest of the world, the mass market, you can't use a telematics solution that is expensive because you cannot provide savings to the customer."
Ultimately, Celaya said, the connectivity of vehicles will drive UBI's broader acceptance to the wider market.
He explained: "With the connected car, where the data is already embedded in it, the manufacturer can give access to the data to insurers and other players in the industry in order to build the kind of value propositions that are not only based on price. This is the opportunity to make UBI massive.
"Yet, it's not only about telematics anymore – telematics is like an old-fashioned battleground because we are looking at the new scenario of the connected car that offers the access to data anyway."
Celaya also said insurers must make the case that customer private data is safe in their hands.
He said: "I see the insurers very much on the side of the customers' interest in the access to data. Look what has happened with Facebook, for example: if you have a Facebook account you sign the user agreement so Facebook automatically owns the data. This is exactly the scenario we are now seeing with the connected car unless the regulators start doing something about it.
"Insurers don't need to access data that could invade the customers' privacy but we do need to access certain data that allows us to build a consumer experience. The example of the car's battery, for instance where the service provider can get to the vehicle before the car is stranded by the side of the road unable to move.
"In order to do this, we have to deal with the manufacturer. We do not want all the vehicle data regarding its systems, what we need to do is to understand the use cases that improve the experience of the end user. This will be good for the manufacturer, it's going to be good for the insurer but, mainly, it's going to be good for the customer. That's our vision."
Celaya also warned that there are, today, plenty of operators outside of the traditional auto industry eager to enter this space if carmakers are slow off the mark in data handling.
He said: "I think that if manufacturers don't start working in this way then competitors from outside the traditional industry will come into the market. If you look at Tesla they've been able to pre-sell about 400,000 cars just on the announcement of the Model 3 – no-one else in the industry has seen that.
"At the same time Chinese players are trying to copy Tesla not traditional brands. What they are learning from Tesla is a business model similar to the iPhone. You create an open innovation environment so people can reach your value proposition which will be boosted by having all the other parts of the industry being able to do something for you and make profit from that."
He added that carmakers will have to accept the responsibility, and costs, of handling and filtering data being gathered by their connected cars.
Celaya explained: "This should be done by the OEMs I don't see any other way. If you look at Apple for example, they invented this situation and they filter the data. If you are an application developer, you will have access to the data you need to develop an application – this is the price and the security is provided by the key player of the value chain.
"Obviously, we have a transition phase before we get there but it's pretty obvious that in the next 10 years this will move slowly but then you have the reality of the smartphone. Until these business models become well established, the smartphone will play a key role."

I think it is 2001, but I'm not sure. Each block of corn consists of 4 rows, with 10 to 12 plants in each row. The rows run north-south.
The 4 blocks, considered together as one block, consists of 4 rows running north-south, with each row having 40 to 48 plants. Squeezed in between blocks 2 and 3 are two 6-foot long rows of edamame running east-west. Behind corn blocks 3 and 4, are 2 north-south rows of edamame, which you can't see much of. You can see just a little bit of these north-south rows of edamame plants, to the right of the east-west row of edamame, and between corn block 3 (the low block), and the house.
If you look thru block 4 of corn, the block of corn on the right, in the photo above, toward the rear garden, you will see what is in the photo below. From near the shed, to near the trellis, we have first the compost pile; then north-south rows, or beds, with watermelon, then canteloupe; and closest to us, tomato on the left and edamame on the right.
On the next page (garden7.html), is a view of about the same area of the rear garden that is shown in the photo above, except it is from the west side, looking east — the photo above is from the east, looking west (approximately).

Dr. Gabriela Duraes is an experienced restorative dentist that can help you find the right dental treatments to restore your smile. Our restorative dentistry services include:
Complete Dental Restorations
When you lose one or more teeth, your oral health is compromised, as well as your appearance. When a tooth is lost, your other teeth lose support. Bone loss can occur in the jaw and existing teeth can begin to shift. Teeth can become crooked, making it difficult to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent gum disease or decay. Your bite can change, causing jaw pain or TMJ/TMD. You can experience a change in your facial appearance if you lose several or all your teeth, making you look older. Even your speech can be affected when you lose front teeth.
Restorative dentistry can help you maintain a healthy mouth and improve your appearance. Both dentures and dental implants can replace your missing teeth and give you back your complete smile. Look younger and have the functionality you need for a higher quality of life with a full set of teeth. Everyone deserves to look and feel their best with a healthy, beautiful smile.

The first time I was on call left me disappointed. I didn't want to sleep. I wanted to experience all the action and have those fabulous stories of which junior and senior medical students bragged. My night was quiet. A 'Rites of Passage' in third and fourth year of medical school is being 'on call.' While my first on-call experience was not action-oriented, I certainly liked the idea of paying my dues as a medical student.
I know what it means to be sleep-deprived and shower-craving. The wrinkled clothing, the messy hair, and the dark circles under both eyes, are badges of honor. Being 'on-call means' no strenuous activity the day after the all night training session. My subsequent on-call adventures left me scolding myself for not appreciating the silence of my first on-call experience. Some of my most critical learning experiences came in the Intensive Care Unit at 2:30AM while I was on-call. I proudly wear my badges of honor and I also can say that I have sampled every flavor of energy drink on the market.

Permits are obtained by submitting an electronic application on the Permit Portal https://portal.cityoflaurel.org/Energov_Prod/SelfService#/home
The following steps must be followed when using the Permit Portal:
- Create a New Account (click on the Login or Register button) or if you already have an account (sign In through this button). Please note for new account registrations: After the account is approved, an email from [email protected] will be sent with further instructions.
- After you sign on, click on the Permit button.
- Find the permit that you are looking for and click on the Apply blue button to start the process.
- Fill in all information leaving no blanks.
To legally inhabit and utilize any property, a Use and Occupancy Permit must be obtained. Every Use and Occupancy Permit is issued to a specific person or corporate entity for a specific allowable use at a specified location. Failure to obtain a use and occupancy permit can result in the issuance of a Municipal Infraction. Likewise, expanding or altering an existing use without obtaining a revised use and occupancy permit can result in a municipal infraction. In general, a Use and Occupancy Permit is required under any of the following circumstances:
- New commercial or residential construction from the ground up.
- Improvement and/or renovations to an existing tenant space.
- Change of ownership or tenant.
- Major damage renovation (i.e. fire, water, storm, etc.)
- Expansion of a tenant space.
- Christmas kiosks or tree stands.
- Seasonal outdoor vendors.
- Temporary outdoor promotions (i.e. tent sales, etc.)
- New home occupancies.
- Replacement of a revoked permit
- Change from an apartment to a condominium
If the applicant is not the owner of the real property (i.e. leasee/tenant) a permission letter from the property owner granting permission to the applicant to use the property is required. Please see the example permission letter
Please note that a copy of the lease is not acceptable.
In addition, health institutions, restaurants, day cares, schools, and hospitals require an inspection from Prince George's County Health Department and State Fire Marshal's Office prior to issuance of a city permit. For commercial space, a floor plan should be supplied showing location of fixtures, display case locations, etc. All properties will be inspected for Code compliance by a City of Laurel Building Inspector prior to the issuance of a Use and Occupancy Permit.
Each zoning district has a listing of allowable uses, which are classified as main (or "by-right") uses and special exception uses. By-right uses can be established simply by obtaining a use and occupancy permit. Special exception uses must be approved by the Planning Commission and the Board of Appeals before a use and occupancy permit can be issued. All properties must provide the minimum amount of onsite parking (i.e. not public parking) as required by Art. I, Div. 6, Sec. 20-16: PARKING AND LOADING FACILITIES of the Unified Land Development Code.
The fee for residential use and occupancy permits is $275; for commercial uses the fee is $300. Use and Occupancy Permits do not allow for signage. A separate sign permit must be obtained to post a sign.

Tomatin has taken a very abrupt turn in recent years favouring more effort towards its own single malts rather than large scale production for third party companies. A such Tomatin has gone from over 12 million litres a year to just 2 million litres. A strange move in the current climate considering today's high demand. Now Tomatin boasts a large core range of both up peated and peated malt whiskies with a growing array of cask finishes.
Tomatin is open to visitors.

I. The Ethics of "Intellectual Property"
II. Privilege as Economic Irrationality
III. "Intellectual Property" and the Structure of the American Domestic Economy
IV. "Intellectual Property" and the Global Economy
V. "Intellectual Property," Business Models and Product Design
VI. Is "Intellectual Property" a Necessary Incentive?
Artificial property rights create irrationality by holding productive resources out of use and creating maldistribution of purchasing power.
In the 1830s Thomas Hodgskin, writing in The Natural and Artificial Right of Property Contrasted, noted the effect of artificial property rights in land in holding productive land out of use and denying opportunities to labor. When land is made artificially scarce to labor by political appropriation of land, so that land owners are able to hold vacant and unimproved land out of use, the landlord will not allow it to come into use unless is is productive enough to support not only the laborer himself but also the rentier. Projects like the draining of marshes and cultivation of waste land, if homesteading were free, would have amply repaid the laborer for his own labor, were not undertaken because labor sufficient to support the laborer and his family in comfort could not "obtain from them a sufficiency to pay profit, tithes, rent, and taxes." [33]
"Intellectual property," likewise, enables the owner to hold productive techniques out of use unless the would-be user is able to use them productively enough to provide an acceptable return to the patent or copyright holder, in addition to himself.
And as we shall see below, "intellectual property" is responsible for a phenomenon Tom Peters celebrated: the growing portion of the price of goods comprised of "intellect" and "ephemera." This is part of a larger phenomenon, by which artificial scarcities, rents on artificial property rights, and the inflated overhead costs imposed those things and by other licensing and regulatory schemes, together erect barriers between effort and subsistence.
By simultaneously increasing the threshold of labor required for comfortable subsistence, and enabling the owners of artificial property rights to derive unearned rentier incomes unrelated to any legitimate effort, "intellectual property" divorces effort from consumption and creates a maldistribution of purchasing power. Regardless of one's views of the operation of Say's Law in a free market, it is clear that maldistribution of purchasing power is a very real problem under state capitalism. Hodgskin anticipated this phenomenon almost a century before J.A. Hobson or Keynes.
The wants of individuals which labour is intended to gratify, are the natural guide to their exertions. The instant they are compelled to labour for others, this guide forsakes them, and their exertions are dictated by the greed and avarice, and false hopes of their masters. The wants springing from our organization, and accompanying the power to labour, being created by the same hand which creates and fashions the whole universe, including the course of the seasons, and what the earth brings forth, it is fair to suppose that they would at all times guide the exertions of the labourer, so as fully to ensure a supply of necessaries and conveniences, and nothing more. They have, as it were, a prototype in nature, agreeing with other phenomena, but the avarice and greed of masters have no such prototype…. By this system the hand is dissevered from the mouth, and labour is put in motion to gratify vanity and ambition, not the natural wants of animal existence. When we look at the commercial history of our country, and see the false hopes of our merchants and manufacturers leading to periodical commercial convulsions, we are compelled to conclude, that they have not the same source as the regular and harmonious external world.

Porky Face-Off – Nambawan vs BellygoodApril 21, 2010 | 16,216 views
The Porky Face-off Separated Miles Apart – Nambawan @ Taman Sri Manja, Old Klang Road VS BellyGood @ Sunway Mentari, PJ
First day of work this week (cool huh?) and I had already stuffed myself crazy with the astonishing array of Yong Tau Foo (Yong Liew) over at Gunung Rapat's Kedai Kopi Kwong Hong. Seriously, if you've never tried their thousand and one creations, you do not know what you're missing! And the range of beverages there, from the ultra thick Umbra juice to a bowl of sinfully refreshing Cincau (grass jelly), I swear you'd be delighted from a brunch/lunch here. We went twice in two weeks, and we're not even working around the vicinity.
By the way, we are working in Ipoh's ultimate treasure trove of food; Ipoh's Old Town. So excursions to eateries elsewhere in Ipoh is a very rare phenomenon, in case you're wondering.
The 100% Home Made Pork Burger @ RM6.90/USD2. Top that, anyone?
But enough about my lunch. Burp. Let's talk some other highly prized delights, not as universal (in Malaysia at least) and definitely something which can't be found that easily here in Ipoh, shall we? I'm talking about PORKY GOODNESS. Yup, last week I was rambling on Klang's Famous Bak Kut Teh and this week we divert westward (cuisine-wise) to seek for grilled pork belly and pork burgers.
Nambawan Restaurant & Cafe was brought to light after repeated doses of poisons (read : blog entries) from the food Gods over in the Klang Valley. Bellygood, on the other hand, is also known as the "Pork Lover's Paradise" (as in their tagline), situated at Sunway Mentari, opposite of Sunway Pyramid. The charming little bistro was previously known as Wendy's Bistro, for those who have not been visiting for quite some time.
A rather unusual Potatoes Salad with Mayonnaise, they cut them into cubes, when lightly boiled, followed by a drizzle of tangy mayo, a dash of fresh pepper and chopped cilantro. (RM3.40/USD1)
The first visit to Nambawan was met with disappointment. Not so much because of the food or the lack of patronage, for we were not even seated in the first place. The restaurant closes for a short break between 3-6pm, hence be warned.
And knowing this fact after some repeatedly frustrating rounds around Taman Sri Manja, off Old Klang Road. But we vowed to return, and there we were on one fine evening for dinner.
Stone Charbroiled Pork Belly @ RM13.90/USD4 for a rather generous portion. Can I scream now?
Strange enough, business was slow albeit on a weekend. Only a table or two of guests, and if you have not heard about Nambawan before, I bet you won't walk in without an idea on what they serve.
But trust me, park your gorgeously plump derriere on any of the tables, and glance through their menu. But better yet, be wowed at the prices, then practise your best pointing skills. Order away to your heart's content and I guarantee you won't need to pawn your undergarments for a fulfilling meal here. Really.
For RM13.90, I was astounded at the succulent, and marvelously charbroiled piece of meat. The lean portion being slightly pinkish yet without the icky, raw taste of uncooked pork, topped with a layer of fat that begs to be relished. And you can park your worries at home, for it's not really pork without the FAT. The accompanying brown sauce was good, not overwhelming yet complemented the pork belly to a tee. By the way, not shown in the picture above was a dollop of apple sauce, providing a contrasting tarty flavour to the smoky piece of goodness. The fries and sweet potatoes completed the ensemble, but none that screamed for extra orders.
When you're a substitute, stunt, kelefe (go ask your Chinese friends), or merely filling in the gaps, there's no spotlight on you.
Tastefully marinated pork patty, the juicy piece of pork belly doused in the creamy, sweet brown sauce, and the fresh pineapple juice.
Not fond of caloric-laden horror? Go for the smaller, yet equally tantalizing Homemade Pork Burger. Yes, with REAL pork patty, infused with the flavourful and enticing marinade; promising a bite that will steer you closer towards carnivorous nirvana. The toasted buns were mere generics, but the patty was nothing short of delicious. I was surprised, for the burger priced at RM6.90 had my expectations set to almost zero. You know for the same price, you can only get a dry, grilled "Macau" style pork burger at any of those random Hong Kong's Char Chaan Teng (cafe) in Malaysia.
There were so many other sumptuous-sounding items on their menu, and everything's priced so lowly. Yup, for a Western joint in Kuala Lumpur, you'd be hard-pressed to find a slab of pork belly at anything less than RM15. Seriously.
Now, ready for the competitor? Here comes Bellygood – The Pork Lover's Paradise.
Baked Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Bacon and Cheese (RM12.50/USD3.50)
This lunch took place almost a year ago, in August of 2009. So apologies in advance if the prices fluctuate, the menu revamped, or even the place closed or shifted. But I vowed to clear all the backlogs, hence I managed to dig deep and came up with these shots. "Belly Good of Me eh?" …… 😉
Mixed Platter with Mashed Potatoes and Coleslaw (RM23.90/USD6.80)
At Bellygood, you get pork belly, pork ribs, baby back ribs, and tenderloin. And so much more, in fact. All porky goodness you'd be rubbing your eyes or pinching yourself silly you're not dreaming. Really.
They open from 11am until 11pm without any break in between, hence you can casually waltz in for a late lunch-tea time treat without worrying about sitting it out in front of the restaurant and cursing away.
The stuffed portobello mushrooms are one of their signature starters, pairing those juicy and earthy fungi with melted cheese and porcine haven in the form of chopped bacons. Two pieces for RM12.90, rather pricey if you're comparing to Nambawan, for that same price can almost net you a slab of grilled pork belly. But not comparing apples to oranges, the portobello variations are indeed premium mushrooms, compared to the enoki, shiitake, etc.
The Mixed Platter arrived in a portion enough to be shared. Grilled pork belly and ribs, smothered in their patented House Special Sauce – a charred, smoky flavour permeated with a slight tangy tinge. BBQ sauce with a twist? But the slabs of pork satiated even the most hungry of soul. No complaints here, for RM23.90 was money well spent.
No one. Hahaha … seriously, one can never have enough of real good porky deals. Especially for one Motormouth from Ipoh. Yeah, here we're blessed with only pork sausages on pizzas, pork satay (infamously), rather disdain but can-lah pork burgers, roasted pork/pig's offals porridge, and pork noodles.
Yeah, I came to the knowledge of Brewster's in old town serving roasted pork knuckle, but have yet to give it a try.
For the time being, I can only dream about the next PORKY invasion-excursion-walloping session over in Kuala Lumpur-Selangor. Anyone? 🙂

Here's a GOOGLE MAP to both Nambawan Restaurant & Bellygood Restaurant.
Directions : To get to Bellygood is rather easy, for the restaurant is situated at Sunway Mentari, the business area opposite of Sunway Pyramid Shopping Centre. Make a few rounds and you're bound to bump into Bellygood. That is, if you do not fall for the temptation of the many other steamboat restaurants within the vicinity.
To find Nambawan is slightly difficult, especially if you're not from KL (like yours truly). Using the NPE (New Pantai Expressway) coming from Federal Highway/Sunway direction towards the east (OUG/Puchong/KL direction), turn right into Jalan Sri Manja/Taman Sri Manja. Then go straight until you reach a traffic lights with a police booth (pondok polis) on your left. Turn left and you will see the Sri Manja Square One business centre on your left.

Overview back to the top ↑
Make a prediction of where a ball will go after it bounces off an object.
Grades: 1-4 (National Standards)
Time: Approximately 45 minutes
Background back to the top ↑
Science is based upon observing natural phenomena. The motion of objects at the macroscopic (visible with the naked eye) scale is considered to be predictable. The laws of motion have been thoroughly tested and the theory initially developed by Isaac Newton in the 1600's has been repeatedly verified. One concept is angle of deflection, or how objects move after they bounce off something. Examples of this motion are seen all around us, such as: pool or billiards, a bounce pass in basketball, a header pass in soccer, or hitting a tennis ball or baseball.
An object on a flat surface will travel in a straight line until it encounters an obstacle, or in other words, hits something. If the object strikes a stationary or fixed object head on, it will bounce back along the same path it traveled.
If it hits the stationary object at an angle, it will not bounce back along the same path. The object will be deflected at an angle equal to the angle it hit the object at, but in the opposite direction. So, the angle of the incoming object (angle of incidence) is equal to the angle of outgoing object (angle of deflection). For example, if the angle of incidence is 45 degrees on one side of the normal line (imaginary line coming straight out of the stationary object), then the angle of deflection is 45 degrees on the other side of the normal line. So the incoming angle will be equal to the outgoing angle around the normal line. One can predict the outgoing path of an object.
Particle physicists can use this technique to trace the pathways of subatomic particles.
Objective back to the top ↑
Predict the path a ball will follow after it bounces off an object.
Materials back to the top ↑
Several students can work around a setup, but for each setup you need:
- Items that you can use as stationary objects including: round cake pan, flat surface made from a thick book, large cookie cutter shapes that can include stars and others. The objects have to be substantial enough so that they are not damaged when hit by the ball. You may need something to weight down the objects as well.
- A pencil
- A ruler and/or meter stick to help roll a ball in a straight line path and to draw incoming and predict outgoing paths
- Small rubber balls (1/2 inch to 1 inch in diameter) that roll easily and will bounce off objects with little damage.
- A large piece of paper (at least 12"x18") beneath the shape makes it easier for students to gather data as they can draw paths of incoming and outgoing balls
- Masking tape (to tape stationary objects down).
- Colored markers to trace paths of various trials
Procedure back to the top ↑
- Tape your first stationary object down on the far side of the paper as shown below.
- Start with a demonstration. Roll the ball and use a marker to illustrate the incoming and outgoing paths of the ball. You only need to draw the last 3-4 inches before the ball hits the stationary object and the first 3-4 inches after it hits and bounces off.
- Ask the students prepare their own setups. (As in Step 1)
- The students should decide on a path for rolling the ball and draw this incoming path in pencil on the paper (they can use a ruler to help).
- The students should now draw a line in pencil for their predicted outgoing path. (You could have the students draw a normal line to help them predict the angle of the outgoing path.)
- The students now roll their balls along the incoming path and use a colored marker to mark the actual outgoing path. Have them compare their predicted path with the actual outgoing path.
Question: How close is your predicted path to the observed path?
Question: How could you make your prediction more accurate?
- Have the students select a different incoming path and repeat Steps 4-6 using a different colored marker for the new actual outgoing path.
Results and Discussion back to the top ↑
Ask the students how they predicted the pathway. For example, what information did they use? Did they become more accurate with their predictions with more trials? This can be used to discuss the scientific method such as replication and reliability of results as well as experimental design.
Follow up activities back to the top ↑
- Try the What shape is it? lesson plan. Here, students try to guess what a hidden shape is based on the paths of balls bounced against it.
- Play the Quarked Catcher game
National Standards back to the top ↑
This lesson plan addresses the following national standards in science and math:
- Standard A – Science as Inquiry
Students should develop abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry and an understanding about scientific inquiry.
- Standard B – Physical Science
Students should develop an understanding of the properties of objects and materials and the position and motion of objects.
- Standard E – Science and Technology
Students should develop abilities of technological design.
- Standard G – History and Nature of Science
Students should develop understanding of the nature of science.
Understand patterns, relations, and functions
- Represent and analyze patterns and functions, using words, tables, and graphs
Apply appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements
- Use tools to measure
- Develop common referents for measures to make comparisons and estimates
- Select and use benchmarks to estimate measurements
Data Analysis and Probability Standard - Formulate questions that can be addressed with data and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them
- Formulate questions that can be addressed with data and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them
- Pose questions and gather data about themselves and their surroundings
- Sort and classify objects according to their attributes and organize data about the objects
- Represent data using concrete objects, pictures, and graphs
- Design investigations to address a question and consider how data-collection methods affect the nature of the data set
- Collect data using observations, surveys, and experiments
- Represent data using tables and graphs such as line plots, bar graphs, and line graphs
