What We can Learn from Denmark,
the World's Happiest Country
Scandinavian countries frequently rank as the happiest in the world, and according to a report from the United Nations earlier this year, Denmark placed highest on this list. The United States wasn't among the top ten. There appears to be a strong correlation between a nation's wealth and the level of contentedness people possess, and this makes sense based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs (the basic essentials to survival such as food, water and shelter have to be met before one's vitality begins to factor into the picture). However, the study shows that economic prosperity is not the absolute answer to creating satisfaction in life. The Danes have a different approach to the pursuit of happiness, as is described in the five following examples.
The closest pronunciation of the word hygge is who-gah, and its meaning doesn't have a direct translation in the English language. Combine elements like warmth, coziness, and good company, and then we begin to get glimpse into the essence of hygge. The next time you feel like life is missing that spark, get together with a group of your closest friends and family, make sure good food and drinks are present, turn the lights off, and gather around a glowing campfire (lighting candles is another great way to set the ambiance).
Jante Law
Not so much a law as a moral code of ethics, the Danes focus on a set of standards that keep a runaway ego grounded. They believe in humbleness and equality. No one person is better than anyone else. Nothing feels worse than being looked down upon and being ridiculed. Think about it, what does feeding this fire accomplish? Do you really think that you can justify seeing yourself as better than someone else by insulting them? The next time you find yourself judging someone for their actions and beliefs, try putting yourself in their shoes. A little bit of compassion goes a long way.
I'm not suggesting that you mimic another culture's take on humor, as what is funny to one society (even person to person) may not make sense in another culture or may even be viewed as offensive. The Danes enjoy joking with each other and sharing a good laugh. The simple act of letting go and recognizing the humor in life is an excellent relief for stress. When it seems like the weight of the world is resting on your shoulders, invite a friend over to watch a comedy flick or reminisce about some silly, good times you've had together.
Attitude Towards Money
The spending habits of the Danish citizens appear to be quite different than those in the U.S. Quality of a purchase is much more significant than buying the latest, flashiest trend on the market. They remove the brag factor from their transactions. If you are on the fence as to whether or not you want to buy the new version of your three month old smart phone or whether you should hit the beach with your loved ones for a weekend getaway, just keep in mind that the electronic gadget will be out of style in a few months when the new and improved model makes its debut.
Work-Life Balance
Denmark actually has a law that requires employers to pay their employees five weeks paid holiday per year, which certainly sounds ideal to me. If we look at the principles underlying this right, you may see that we all could benefit from attempting to balance our professional lives with our personal. So perhaps you don't have today off, but it's beautiful outside. During lunch, make it a point to get away from your work space and take a walk (even a ten minute stroll can make a difference in your day).
There is so much to be learned from observing customs and traditions that differ from our own. Open your mind and your heart to new experiences, and perhaps you will discover the key to your own happiness. Book your flights to Europe and let the adventure begin.

For example, why would it be important why water is a good solvent and what bonds DNA? Sure it's important to an engineer but why top 10?

I don't really think quizzes like this access very much though. What you know and retain often depends on how you're using you're mind and what you're using it on. If you're doing a lot of something, you will retain information about it.
Not sure these facts are relevant to most people's daily lives.

I didn't think the question about what gasses make up our atmosphere though. Just sort of clicked.
If 85% of people know less about science and technology than me (and I'm not genius) I am absolutely terrified.
This explains why some days I feel like the smartest person on the planet.
By mass, oxygen is the third-most abundant element in the universe, after hydrogen and helium[2] and the most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust, making up almost half of the crust's mass.[3] Oxygen is too chemically reactive to remain a free element in Earth's atmosphere without being continuously replenished by the photosynthetic action of living organisms, which use the energy of sunlight to produce elemental oxygen from water.

Which gas makes up most of the Earth's atmosphere?
Male - 20
Female - 27
People don't even know what they're breathing.
Nitrogen was discovered by the Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford in 1772. It is the fifth most abundant element in the universe and makes up about 78% of the earth's atmosphere, which contains an estimated 4,000 trillion tons of the gas. Nitrogen is obtained from liquefied air through a process known as fractional distillation.

HAMBURG, Germany, July 17 (UPI) -- Top-seeded Nicolas Almagro finished strong Tuesday in posting a first-round win at the German Tennis Championships.
Almagro broke open a tight first set and then ran away by taking the first five games of the second in a 6-4, 6-1 win over Tobias Kamke.
Almagro lost his serve one in each set but he was up 5-0 in the second set by the time the second break occurred. He won 56 percent of the points on serve but took 63 percent when Kamke served.
Third-seeded Juan Monaco needed three third-set breaks to defeat Cedrik-Marcel Stebe 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 but No. 4-seeded Marin Cilic had little trouble in a 6-3, 6-3 win over Flavio Cipolla.
Wild-card entrant Julian Reister ousted No. 5-seeded Fernando Verdasco 6-2, 6-3 in just more than an hour. Reister lost 11 points in his nine games serving. Lukas Rosol advanced by eliminating eighth-seeded Victor Troicki 5-7, 7-3, 6-4.
Sixth-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber didn't lose his serve after the first set of a 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 decision over Bjorn Phau and Florian Mayer, the seventh seed, edged past Horacio Zeballos 7-6 (9-7), 7-5.
Also Tuesday, Fabio Fognini defeated Marsel Ilhan 7-5, 6-2; Jeremy Chardy beat Albert Montanes 6-4, 6-2; Albert Ramos romped over Pablo Andujar 6-1, 6-4; and Tommy Haas, another wild card, rolled past Martin Klizan 6-2, 6-1.

There are infomercials for exercise equipment and kitchen gadgets. And, of course, there are products you never thought you needed.
Consumer Reports says infomercials are designed to pump up the dopamine levels in your brain, according to marketing experts, and that can stimulate your impulse to buy.
"That's why infomercials have claims and testimonials flying at you, and they say 'order in three minutes' because your dopamine levels drop in about five to six minutes," said Consumer Reports' Kim Kleman.
Consumer Reports routinely tests infomercial products like the Ab Circle Pro. Panelists gave the $200 device a whirl.
"Following the Ab Circle Pro's strict diet plan will definitely help you lose weight. But the three-minute exercise routine, not so much," said Consumer Reports' Alex Willen.
It turns out the workout is about the same as going on a brisk three-minute walk.
To test the Slap Chop, Consumer Reports chopped nuts, onions, carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, and even chocolate. But it turns out the Slap Chop doesn't chop evenly, and the harder vegetables took 20 slaps or more to fully chop.
"We tested the Snuggie by washing it 10 times, looking for shrinkage, pilling, and also lint. Pills are these fuzzy little balls, and between them is bare fabric," said Consumer Reports' Pat Slaven.
In 10 washes more than a handful of lint came off two Snuggies. Plus its one-size-fits-all claim hardly stands up.
So the next time you see an infomercial product you really want to buy, resist the urge for at least 10 minutes to give your dopamine levels a chance to return to normal.
Consumer Reports did find an infomercial product that did pretty well in tests. The Magic Jack that lets you make and receive calls via the internet not only works well, but it also costs a fraction of what similar services like Skype and Vonage VoIP charge.

An Eco-Friendly, Bicycle-Hauled Travel Trailer
Paul Elkins built this lightweight travel trailer for his trip to the Burning Man festival. It has a roof-mounted wind turbine for electical power, as well as a solar cooker and water heater. It weighs only 100 pounds dry, so he can haul it around with his bicycle:
The skin is 1/4" flutted plastic like whats used for election signs. This was riveted and screwed onto 3/4" square aluminum tubing salvaged from an old satellite dish. The base was made of 2x2 fir. The 30" square door frame, made of 1x2's was skrewed to the side panel, cut on the sides and bottom. The upper part was left uncut to act as a hinge. The bed hinges in a lounge attitude. On the outside resides an herb flower box, a urinal funnel (sanicans were a ways off) and 13" wheel barrel wheels on a 1/2" axle mounted with 1/2" square tubing made up the running gear. I used 3/4" steel for the tow bar, A recycled card table for the corner camper supports, and misc this and that. It's whatever I had kicking around at the time, and that's how anyone would have to do it if worst came to worst.
There are many pictures at the link.

Point of View
The point of view of this book is both the third-person omniscient and the first-person. The purpose of the narrator is to describe the setting in which each chapter takes place and to describe the appearance and emotions of each character. By having an omniscient narrator, the reader learns of the unspoken thoughts of the characters, as well as a clear image of where the story takes place and what the characters look like. There is a great deal of non-verbal expression throughout this book, so the narrator plays an important role in expressing this to the reader. Through the narration the various emotions of the characters are expressed clearly to the reader, keeping the reader engaged and anxious to continue reading the story. The narrator also withholds information regarding the characters to heighten various senses, such as excitement, anxiety, fear, and foreboding.

Twitter employees alerted NBC staff to a British journalist's tweets and showed them how to file a complaint against him, the television network has revealed. In an email to The Daily Telegraph, Christopher McCloskey, NBC Sport's vice-president of communications, said Twitter had actually contacted the network's social media department to alert them to Mr Adams's tweets.
"Our social media dept was actually alerted to it by Twitter and then we filled out the form and submitted it," he wrote.
Guy Adams, a foreign correspondent for The Independent, found his Twitter account suspended when he published the emails of NBC Olympic officials.
Cory Doctorow says it was really, really, really stupid.
UPDATE: Early Tuesday, Twitter apologized to journalist Guy Adams for suspending his account and Adams is free to tweet again. Twitter's policy reads, "If information was previously posted or displayed elsewhere on the Internet prior to being put on Twitter, it is not a violation of this policy." Zenkel's email address has been posted on this site for more than a year.
Am I the only person who ENJOYS the storytelling skill of broadcast television journalists? The intrinsic drama and conflict are a great narrative, and the backgrounders and event mix, provide context. I think they do a great job under tight deadline pressure.
The IOC is the bad guy here. They view the Olympics as their property. No photos, videos or tweets allowed without their permission. Who do they think they are?
Last year Comcast agreed to pay the IOC $4.38 billion to carry the Olympic Games through 2020, in a move that raised questions about what strategic benefits would come from the high-price purchase. NBCUniversal Chief Executive Steve Burke said Comcast could approach break-even on this year's carriage of the Olympic Games. The Olympics gives NBCUniversal more bargaining power in signing affiliate deals in the future.

Learn about Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy is the study of how a substance absorbs, transmits, or reflects radiation. This radiation can be everyday light, produced, for example, by the Sun, which can be split into a rainbow of colors from violet (which has a shorter wavelength) to red (which has a longer wavelength).
Or it can be infrared light, which has a longer wavelength than red light, and can be felt as heat.
Other types of radiation that can produce spectra are gamma-rays, which have wavelengths only a few thousandths that of visible light.

Friday saw the official introduction of Garrick Hamm as the new head of the organization (pdf), a position he'll hold for the next year, while maintaining his role as a partner at the branding agency Williams Murray Hamm. So no Banksy for this go 'round, but picking Hamm was probably for the best, considering what sort of weird D&AD annuals would have resulted with Mr. Artist at the helm. Here's a bit:Taking over from Simon Waterfall, Hamm will be D&AD's leading ambassador and spokesperson for the next 12 months. Hamm said, "Yes, D&AD has work to do — putting even more of our content online will be a positive step. Shaking a Yellow Pencil out of the Graphic Design jury, even better. But D&AD does a lot right and a lot of good and I'm very proud to be its next President.""D&AD deserves Garrick Hamm," said outgoing President Simon Waterfall. "Over the last four years, he has shown the most amazing energy and enthusiasm for the education side of D&AD, which is our reason for being. He is a champion amongst men with a quiet and self-deprecating manner, basically everything I am not and aspire to be." Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kIJF2Q copy Adweek Adweek

Maersk reports rebound in revenues
"We have moved from defense to the attacking zone, and we are ready to take more territory, especially in emerging markets," says Maersk Group CEO Nils S. Andersen
Maersk Group revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 increased by 17 percent to $41.4 billion, primarily as a result of higher container shipping freight rates and higher oil prices. The net result for the period was a profit of $4.2 billion compared with a loss of $0.7 billion in the same period last year
"The result is exceptional, and we are very satisfied," says Group CEO Nils S. Andersen. 'Markets have been favorable, but first of all, our businesses are in excellent shape. Especially our container business has improved and is ahead of competition on profitability. We have moved from defense to the attacking zone, and we are ready to take more territory, especially in emerging markets."
Outlook for the full year 2010
The group is now expecting a result for the full year in the order of $5 billion, excluding an expected gain from Dansk Supermarked A/S' sale of Netto Foodstores Limited, UK. That transaction is not expected to be completed until the first half of 2011.

When: Sun., April 27, 7 p.m. 2014
To have a chance to meet a survivor of one of the most tragic events in all of human history, the Holocaust, is becoming a rarer occurrence. Yet in recognition of the International Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust, Spokane's Temple Beth Shalom gives Spokane an opportunity to connect with one of the region's remaining survivors. A presentation by Stephen Adler, a Jewish child survivor of the Holocaust by means of Kindertransport, will take place during the service. This is to be followed by a candle lighting ceremony and a children's candle procession, honoring those whose lives were taken far too early.

"For it to still be relevant is still shocking to me," she said.
Sinclair joins legendary cancer activist Terry Fox, music producer Bob Ezrin, actor Victor Garber, pianist Oscar Peterson, actor Alan Thicke and human-rights advocates Craig and Marc Kielburger as the latest honorees to join the Walk of Fame.
Sinclair — who led Canada to a bronze medal at last summer's Olympics — said the Walk of Fame recognition is a reflection of what she and her teammates achieved in London.
"It helped put women's soccer on the map," Sinclair, 30, said of Canada's performance.
"And for mothers to come up to us after the Olympics and tell us, 'my daughter wants to play soccer because she thinks she can win a medal at the Olympics' — that's incredible."
Sinclair, along with the Kielburger brothers, are younger than most Walk of Fame inductees. But she doesn't want it to be a lifetime achievement award.
"I've got a long way to go still," Sinclair said, laughing.
Craig Kielburger said his induction only fuels his own advocacy work, founding Free the Children and Me to We.
"So much of our work is trying to get young people to follow their passions," said Kielburger, 30. "To be celebrated at a young age for the work that we do, I hope that it sends a symbol to other people not to wait."
For 15 years, Canada's Walk of Fame has celebrated Canadians who have excelled in music, sport, film, television, as well as the literary, visual, performing arts, science and innovation, for at least a decade. But while Kielburger doesn't quite fit into that range, it is a reflection of a national identity.
"Part of what I think makes us Canadian is our compassion," said Kielburger. "Celebrating that at the highest level is a wonderful ideal, because it shows young Canadians that that is quintessentially Canadian."
Dan McGrath, chair of Canada's Walk of Fame's board of directors, takes great pleasure in the range of people the Walk recognizes.
"We've got a great balance of Canadians from many disciplines. We don't just focus on just music, or just the arts, and it's really people who have made a difference in Canada," he said.
Typically, the Canadian Walk of Fame honours one posthumous inductee with the Cineplex Legends award, but this year two are being welcomed: Fox and Peterson.
"We decided to have two this year because we wanted to have a special recognition of Terry Fox as part of our 15-year anniversary," said McGrath. "Terry is just an incredible, incredible individual who inspired the entire country."
With the introduction of smartphone voting, McGrath said participation for this year's slate spiked, with nearly 30,000 Canadians from 130 countries submitting a nomination.
Pop star Carly Rae Jepsen of Mission, B.C., was announced as the fourth winner of the Allan Slaight Award, which recognizes young and inspirational Canadians. Past recipients include the rapper Drake and jazz-pop singer Nikki Yanofsky. Jepsen will be performing at the award ceremony on Sept. 21 at the Elgin Theatre.
This year also marked the first year the Walk of Fame has awarded the $25,000 RBC Emerging Artist Music Mentorship Prize, which gives up-and-coming musicians an opportunity to learn from established Canadian talent. Last week, Taylor Kurta, a 20-year-old self-taught guitarist and singer from Thornhill, Ont., won the cash prize and the chance to be mentored by Gord Sinclair of the Tragically Hip.
The names of this year's Walk of Fame inductees will be engraved on stars and displayed with those bearing the names of previous winners along King Street West and Simcoe Street in Toronto.
Past inductees include rocker Bryan Adams, TV host Alex Trebek, comedian Phil Hartman and hockey great Bobby Orr.
The induction ceremony will be broadcast nationally on Global Television and Slice this fall.

desactivate itunes update
Hi ,
I would like to turn off updates of 'iTunes64.msi'
I have already set SCHEDULE_ASUW=0 but i still have the icon of automatic research activated.
Please help me
Community Chosen Answer
Create a 32bit DWORD value called "adminflags" (without quotes) under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default". Give the DWORD a value of 256 to disable automatic updates. From there you can export that registry key and import it after installing your itunes package with the command regedit /s "MyRegKey.reg"
All of the decimal values for various settings can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102
For multiple changes you will input the sum of the desired values.

Reading's Cow Lane to close for six weeks
Drivers in Reading are bracing themselves for delays in December and January as one of the town's busiest commuter routes closes for six weeks.
Cow Lane will shut from Monday so one of the road's two bridges can be demolished and replaced with a new 1,600 tonne railway bridge.
The road will be closed until 30 January 2012, with diversions in place.
Replacing the bridge will allow for two lanes of traffic, a cycle lane and a pavement under the bridge.
The new bridge structure has been built at a nearby site and is part of the £850m Reading Station redevelopment.
'Well-known bottleneck'
Jim Weeden, deputy director of the project at Network Rail, said: "The Reading area project is all about unblocking the Reading area which is a well-known bottleneck for rail travellers heading west and east coming in and out of Paddington.
"The new bridge is already built and is in a yard next to the existing bridge.
"This will allow us to demolish the old one and replace the new one over a 92-hour period, that way we can get the freight trains running again."
James Freeman from Reading Buses said the company would have extra drivers to deal with potential delays on busy routes such as Oxford Road.
"It makes it more difficult, and we have to have extra resources and extra drivers waiting in case we get delays."

Super Skunk Automatic
Sold Out
Product Details
This is the Automatic version of the famous Super Skunk. Throughout the Super Skunk project, breeders aimed to create a strain whose commercial potential, potency and hybrid vigour had never been seen before. Over the years, a large number of Afghani cultivars were crossed with both males and females of the true-breeding Skunk #1. Many wonderful plants were produced, though never with exactly the blend of qualities sought by the project. The achievements in cannabis hybridisation made in the late Eighties meant that the standards for professional ganja were steadily moving upwards which, naturally, raised the bar for what was expected from the Super Skunk program.
Strain: Super Skunk Automatic
Seed bank: Sagarmatha Seeds
Genetics: Super Skunk x Ruderalis
Indica/Sativa mix: Mostly indica
Flowering Period: 9-10 weeks
Height: 60-70cm
Yield: 350-400 grams per m2
Yield per day: 5.78 grams per day in flowering
THC Content: Medium, High

"Ever since the mall opened up it's been bad. We had a shooting here about a year ago, I think, a carjacking," said Mike Johnson, shopper.
Mark Lundgren's company specializes in retail security.
"Probably, could do some outside security for the mall. For internal, you have loss prevention undercover people. I don't know what else they could have done to help them," said Lundgren, retail security consultant.
Two nearby stores- Target and a bank- have surveillance cameras. It is not clear if those have come into play in the investigation.
There is no city regulation requiring stores to install security systems.
"We are checking with other communities in the Chicago metro area to see what kind of things they have done with cameras and security, et cetera, that kind of thing. You have to remember that Tinley Park here and that particular center --other than the incident we had about a year and a half ago -- it's been relatively quiet," said Ed Zabrocki, mayor, Tinley Park.
The immediate area around Lane Bryant is still closed.
"We're all just thinking that this is a safe neighborhood. You just think it couldn't ever happen here. But, we've learned it can happen anywhere," said Alysia Lambert, shopper.
Mayor Zabrocki said the village is talking with the mall's owner to determine if it will install surveillance cameras and put security personnel in place. The mall has decided to allow the village to have police presence.

According to reports, the event was being held at Always Evolving Performance Motors, an automotive shop owned by Walker's friend Roger Rodas (pictured right). Walker and Rodas were apparently out for a quick spin around 3 PM in Rodas' bright-red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT when the single-car accident occurred. The Porsche burst into flames, and several passing motorists captured the crash scene on video. Police have yet to confirm reports that Walker was the passenger, not the driver, at the time of the accident, and dental records will be used to help identify the two bodies. Police have said that speed was a likely factor in the accident.
Walker died at the age of 40 and is survived by his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow. Rodas, a former racing driver who competed in the Pirelli World Challenge, was 38 years old and is survived by his wife Kristine and two children.
Following news of Walker's passing, fans reportedly flocked to the location to pay their respects. Several of Walker's Fast and Furious costars took to Twitter to express their condolences, which you can read below. We have also included a few news reports.

The police and crime plan
My brief from the Home Secretary is to cut crime but I want to go beyond that. I want there to be less crime, of course, but I also want to tackle antisocial behaviour – things that aren't regarded as crimes but which blight our communities – and in doing so make Gloucestershire an even better place to live and work.
In order to achieve that, I produced a Police and Crime Plan based on my own views and experience and what Gloucestershire residents told me they wanted before the first election.
In the most simple and clear terms, the mission of the Police and Crime plan is:
'Less crime, more peace and good order'

Beyonce almost fell during her big Super Bowl 50 performance on Sunday — but, unsurprisingly, she recovered like a pro.
The pop star can be seen dancing onstage along with her backup dancers when, in the middle of her dance to new song "Formation," she steps back and is forced to regain her stance, seemingly losing her balance. She quickly recovers, however, her face just looking relieved.
Beyonce joined Coldplay and Bruno Mars during the halftime show, partaking in their rendition of Mars' "Uptown Funk."
Coldplay was the first act announced for the Big Game's Pepsi spectacle. But Beyonce made major waves when she was announced, likely drawing in younger viewers, along with Lady Gaga, who sang the National Anthem ahead of kickoff.
Beyonce dropped her single "Formation" on Saturday, along with a politically charged music video. The Super Bowl show marks the first time she's performed it live, but it's not her first time at the Super Bowl. She headlined the halftime show in 2013, making major headlines when she brought back Destiny's Child for the huge performance.
After the halftime show, Beyonce announced via an ad that she will be embarking on a world tour, Formation.
Watch the moment below.

The Triple Feed Patch antenna is a directional circularly polarized antenna that I created in collaboration with Robin Theunis, one of my co-workers. The main design goals were:
- Good radiation efficiency. Most FR4-based patches have terrible efficiency because FR4 is very lossy at 5.8 GHz.
- Good axial ratio, not just directly perpendicular to the patch but also off-center.
- Cheap and easy to manufacture with high accuracy, even for a hobbyist.
(strictly according to Maarten Baer design requirements, learn more, please click: http://www.maartenbaert.be/quadcopters/antennas/triple-feed-patch-antenna/)
- Center frequency: 5.8 GHz
- Bandwidth: 660 MHz (5.47 – 6.13 GHz)
- Matching: S11 < -20 dB, VSWR < 1.22 (at center frequency)
- Axial ratio: < 1.3
- Antenna gain: 9.4 dBi
- Half power beam width: 55° (horizontal and vertical)
- Radiation efficiency: 83.5%
These values are based on simulation, actual measurements are below (they are very similar). The center frequency may shift a bit between batches as a result of variations in the dielectric constant of FR4. Also, not all brands of FR4 have the same dielectric constant. Frequency shifts up to 100 MHz are normal.
Radiation pattern
|Simulation model. The two plates are wave ports that act as stand-ins for the SMA connectors.
|3D radiation pattern. Look at the 2D version if you actually want to see the numbers.
|Vertical cross-section taken at various angles.
|VNA measurements (S-parameters). S11 and S22 indicate the reflected power at port 1 and 2 respectively. S12 and S21 indicate how much power is leaking from one port to the other.

Green Bank and Kids
Green Bank for Kids
When my wife and I moved to Green Bank with our two small children, a 3 1/2 year old girl and a 6 month old boy, we didn't know if we would like it or how long we would stay. We were concerned about the kids, and how they would do growing up in a rural environment that lacked all the obvious cultural advantages. But a few years later, when we decided to put down roots here, we did so in part for the kids, and now, a decade after our arrival, it seems like one of the smartest things we ever did, for Green Bank is simply a wonderful place to raise children.
We moved to Green Bank from a large, suburban, university town, where parents had earnest discussions over the selection of a preschool while their children were still learning to walk. It was a place of numerous resources and cultural institutions. Green Bank is not like that.
In Green Bank there is one school, a rural Elementary-Middle School, and everyone's children attend it. It does not have many of the facilities of larger schools. They don't offer Japanese as an elective in the second grade. But it is small, friendly, clean and safe. It is more like a community school than a public school. It is a place were kids spend time playing outside in groups, where everyone can be on the soccer team, and where everyone can play in the school band. Because the school is small and economically diverse, my children have friends both older and younger, and from different backgrounds.
My wife and I are more involved with the school here than we would have been in our former town. That's true for lots of parents, and the school is supportive of our involvement. Every time I go there, I see someone helping out in one way or another. Several of us did after-hours tutoring in preparation for the county math field day. Others have reading sessions with the little kids, or show off sunspots through a telescope. You can do more than simply hand off your kid to the teachers, so you may put in more hours in your role as a parent in Green Bank, but the work is with your children and that is pretty good.
For its population, Pocahontas County has a nice Parks and Recreation program, and throughout the year you will see small groups of kids taking pottery, quilting, swimming or canoe classes, often after hours at the school. There are scouting, FFA, 4H, church groups, soccer and baseball. Our kids have more than enough to do. There is also the ever-present outdoors, and on nice evenings mydaughter and I often slip down to the creek to give the fish a laugh. We take family hikes and bike rides.
In Green Bank the general store carries all the basics that you might need, but the movie theater is more than 50 miles away, as is the nearest bookstore. That's also how far you have to go to see the orthodontist or find a good selection of wine. The most negative things about life in this area are the absences: no malls or fast food joints, a long drive to a theater or supermarket. But this also helps to make it a wonderful place for a family. Every few weeks we load the kids into the van and make a day of it, driving the hour to the supermarket, taking in lunch at a restaurant, perhaps a movie. Sometimes other kids come along. Parents carpool to the orthodontist and to little league games. We plan our vacations so that the children have the experience of cities and all the opportunities they offer. Then we come home. I've heard a number of people say how glad they are to have raised their children in this area. There have been several families in recent years who moved from elsewhere, often at some sacrifice, so that their kids could grow up here. At first this puzzled me, but now it doesn't. It is not easy being a kid today, and there is no place free from modern pressures and the natural discomforts of youth. But Green Bank is a great place for families and kids, and I am glad we are here.
Jay Lockman
June 2003
It's December 2011 and my daughter and son are both home on break from College. Both attended the Pocahontas Co. WV public schools from pre-K through 12th grade, and both had their choice among several quite good schools when it came time to pick a college. Nearly 20 years ago we chose to live in Green Bank because we though it would be a great place for children and we've not been disappointed in the results. Neither have the kids. "Green Bank is a great place to grow up" says my daughter, while during his first year at a large urban university my son discovered that "most kids at school just 'grew up'. They didn't have the kind of experiences I did, like going to Trent's General Store, playing in the Greenbrier River, bonfire parties and the Cass railroad."
They might also have mentioned that they grew up without cell phone service, even at the High School, but I don't think that absence was too important to them and their friends. I personally like the fact that my kids and their friends seem comfortable around adults --something I'm told is not so common. Green Bank is not perfect, but we've never regretted our decision to stay.

The European Commission has issued concerns over the FIA's involvement in the F1 sale to Liberty Media.
FIA denies conflict of interest in Liberty Media's F1 purchase
British MEP Anneliese Dodds has called for a full-scale investigation
February 16, 2017
The governing body of Formula 1 hit back at reports of a "conflict of interest" that could eventually trigger a full European investigation into the sport.
This week, the European parliament voted through calls for an investigation into governance, income, and the fact that a 1 percent shareholding netted the FIA an $80 million windfall after approving the Liberty Media buyout. In a statement Thursday, the FIA said it "has been made aware of certain declarations and comments, clearly inaccurately informed or made maliciously, relating to this (sale) process."
The reports alleged the FIA's dual role as a regulator and a co-owner violated an earlier agreement that could now end up with F1's commercial contracts declared illegal.
But the FIA said "there is no conflict of interest," adding that it would "be happy to demonstrate the absence of any conflict of interest to any competent authority that may so request."

Chicago`s downtown office space market once again rejected the many predictions of doom offered by industry analysts, said Jacque Ducharme, corporate vice president of Julien J. Studley Inc.`s Chicago office.
The market shattered 1983`s record-breaking pace by more than 1.5 million square feet. A total of 7 million square feet was leased in the downtown area alone, with the highest concentration of activity taking place in the Loop`s West End which accounted for approximately 3.1 million square feet of total activity.

To get into dental school, graduate from college with a bachelor's degree and take classes in specific subjects such as biology and English. You must also pass the Dental Admissions Test, and apply to your chosen dental schools using each school's specific guidelines.Continue Reading
Take the right classes while you are in undergraduate school. Aim for credit hours in biology with lab, general chemistry with lab, organic chemistry with lab, physics and English. Contact the dental schools you want to enroll in to find out their precise requirements for undergraduate classes and information on extra credit courses.
Sit the DAT at least one year before you start applying to dental schools. The test is computerized, and you should have one year of biology as well as a grounding in general and organic chemistry before you take the test.
Follow each school's applications guidelines, and apply at least one year before you want to start school. Most schools use the American Dental Schools Application Service. Individual schools have their own minimum standards for GPA, DAT scores and academic background. You must submit recommendation letters and dental office shadowing is generally required. In many cases, an interview with the dental school's admissions panel or with a school representative are required. In these interviews, you should display confidence, affability and an ability to rise to challenges.
