405 students across India qualify NTSE Stage-II
FIITJEE Students set a new benchmark of Excellence across India
New Delhi,September, 2017: It proves yet again that at FIITJEE we inculcate in our students a habit to win. As the results declared for NTSE Stage-II gave reasons for many to cheer and celebrate, it was another proud day for FIITJEE Delhi NCRCenters, with total of 87students having passed out with flying colors in the national level exam. In Delhi, out of total selections, more than 75% are FIITJEEians.
FIITJEE again proves supremacy in NTSE Stage-II Results with 405 Long Term Classroom Program studentsbeing FIITJEEian's out of a total 777 selections across India from general category.
Students from FIITJEE Delhi NCR Centers demonstrated outstanding Scholastic Brilliance in National Talent Search Exam (NTSE 2017) conducted by the NCERT. NTSE is one of the most prestigious talent search examinations for school going children in India, with lakhs of students appearing for it every year. It aims to identify and nurture talented students by providing scholarship.
Every year, the flagship program of NCERT, NTSE nationwide is conducted in two stages. While the stage I is preliminary stage which allows all the students studying in class X to participate, stage II is only conducted for students who have qualified the first stage. Accordingly, Stage – I is conducted at the state level by States/UTs through the written examination, Stage-II is held at a national level. This year Stage-I exam was held on 18th December, 2016 and Stage-II exam was held on 14th May, 2017
"Bagging a seat at one of the prestigious IITs has always been a goal that I have strived to achieve. For me qualifying NTSE is the first step towards my dream. To qualify the exam it was important for me to train my brain to get accustomed to the required type of ability. I'm thankful to the faculties of FIITJEE, who helped me day in and day out to raise my IQ to such competitive level through the study materials, doubt-clearing sessions and personalized guidance," said one of the successful scholars.
"It is certainly a proud moment for us as the students have taken the glorious tradition of success to the bigger platform. Proper training plays a key role in cracking these competitive titles. However, dedication is the secret word of success and at FIITJEE we prepare our students to be focused and well organized towards their studies to get an edge in this era of cut throat competition!"said Mr. R L Trikha, Director, FIITJEE .

Wayne Thiebaud {The First 90 Years}
(page 2 of 5)
The scope of his cultural impact draws into sharp focus with his induction into the California Hall of Fame on Dec. 14, when he joins Barbra Streisand, director James Cameron and tennis star Serena Williams in this year's 14-member class. The tribute marks how much has changed for the "young painter" since his initial one-man exhibition—except in his own view. "It's not that different than it was then," says Thiebaud, who turns 90 on Nov. 15. "I'm still striving to make better paintings." He rises by 6 a.m. most days to work, either in his midtown studio or upstairs in the Land Park home he shares with his wife, Betty Jean, the model in some of his best-known pieces, including the Crocker's Betty Jean Thiebaud and Book. "It's what I both love and hate doing because you're always in trouble, always trying to solve problems."
But notwithstanding the constancy of the Man-vs.-Canvas struggle and his modesty, Thiebaud has transformed the area's visual arts culture. More than any one person, he has attracted the art world's attention to the region through his painting, the quiet support of fellow artists and decades of teaching at Sacramento City College and UC Davis. (Two notable past students: Sacramento native Mel Ramos, renowned for his paintings of pinup models, and Bruce Nauman, regarded as one of the world's most important multimedia artists.) In return, living in Sacramento has buffered Thiebaud from the rank commercialism that breeds self-imitation and trend chasing in the art market, freeing him to experiment.
"He's reinvented himself over and over again," says Sacramento painter Fred Dalkey, a longtime friend and the subject of a Crocker retrospective in 2002. "He's shocked a lot of people. They think they know who he is and then all of a sudden— bang!—he's working in some new area." More explicitly, the region inspires the Delta landscapes in which he melds elements as disparate as Cubism and Chinese art, producing what The New Yorker critic Adam Gopnik has called "fantastically rich, almost psychedelically colored" images that brand Sacramento as Thiebaud country.
"His work is something that will bring people from around the world," says Scott Shields, the Crocker's chief curator, who collaborated with the painter on this fall's retrospective. "It's always been my belief that you go to Spain to see Goya, you go to Iowa to see Grant Wood and you come to Sacramento to see Thiebaud."
• • •
Painting may have saved Wayne Thiebaud from an early death. His company of the U.S. Army Air Force, stationed at what was then Mather Army Air Field in Sacramento, received orders in late 1944 to ship overseas. World War II had entered its final year and the Allied powers needed hundreds of thousands of troops to repel a German offensive in the Belgian mountains. Five weeks of combat in the so-called Battle of the Bulge would claim the lives of 19,000 American soldiers, making it the war's single deadliest engagement for the United States. A transport truck stood outside Corporal Thiebaud's barracks, ready to ferry soldiers to the airstrip for their flight.
The military had sent him to Mather soon after he enlisted in 1942, four years removed from graduating high school in Long Beach. His parents, Alice and Morton, moved there within a year of his birth in 1920 in Mesa, Ariz., and apart from a two-year stretch in the early '30s when the family lived in Utah, Wayne and his younger sister Marjory grew up in Southern California. As the Thiebauds spent time in Long Beach and Los Angeles, Alice tended to the household while Morton, a bishop of the ward in the Mormon Church, held an array of jobs through the years: mechanic for Ford, foreman with Gold Medal Creamery, traffic safety supervisor, real estate agent.
The family weathered the Great Depression and, by his own account, Thiebaud enjoyed a carefree childhood, other than breaking a bone in his back in a gym class mishap; he picked up his high school diploma wearing a neck-to-waist cast. He worked for food stands on the Long Beach boardwalk, washing dishes and hawking hamburgers, hot dogs and ice cream, and signed up as a stagehand for school plays. His paintings decades later made evident the influence of his early exposure to food preparation and theater lighting techniques. His luscious cakes and pies, fringed with ethereal halos of blue or red or yellow, "glow with a brilliance so peculiar and unreal," as Kimmelman once wrote, "that it looks as if it must be from either the light of heaven or the glare of an operating theater."
Thiebaud's interest in art, nurtured by an uncle who drew cartoons for him and Marjory, budded in his early teens. He remembers a friend's father taking him on a day trip to Palm Springs to paint landscapes. After stopping somewhere in the desert, the man set up his easel and started working from the top of the canvas downward "like he was pulling a shade. I've never seen anyone paint like that since. It was magic—from nothing to a little piece of the world. I never got over that."
During high school Thiebaud landed a summer apprenticeship in the animation department of Walt Disney as an "in-betweener," drawing fill-in frames of Goofy and Pinocchio that connected the primary scenes handled by studio animators. Upon graduating in 1938, he scrounged freelance work as a sign painter and movie poster illustrator, but uncertain of art's career prospects with the country at war, he joined the military to become a pilot.
Before learning to fly, he had to attend mechanics school, waking at 4:30 a.m. every day to inspect planes. Walking over to Mather's hangars on a morning "colder than hell," he passed a Quonset hut and noticed soldiers sitting at drawing tables. Thiebaud stopped in and discovered they designed promotional materials for the Special Services Department. He received a transfer that day, and during the next two years he illustrated posters, taught drawing classes and created a comic strip, Aleck, for the base newspaper.

Why Gold Crashed
by homment | 19.04.2013 | Views: 15
In our March 7, 2013 installment, we explained thatgold is the best measure of the absolute value of fiat money. We also identified five structural factors which have driven US dollar weakness inabsolute terms since 2002.
On March 19, we predicted that gold was due for a correction, within (what we presumed to be) a continuing longterm movement in favor of gold. We promised to identify potential support levels for a long position. We also made a purely technical observation thatthe price wants to test support @ $1442.36, which is the 38.2% retracement of the long term bull wave from October 2008 to September 2011.

Go to hell, they told me, and here I am. Almost. Peering into the dark, canopied trail head that marks the start of a wickedly meandering canoe trip to the ominously named Gates of Hell and Hells Bay, I remember what my bank teller said.
No way she`d ever go on a sleep-over canoe trip to a place with no hair dryers, no hairspray -- heck, no bathrooms or running water.
Then there are the real warnings.
``EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE REQUIRED FOR THE MAZE OF WATERWAYS,`` a Florida Sportsman fishing chart warns in red letters. ``Check the water levels before starting the journey,`` another flier warns.
Still, Hells Bay and other easier canoe trails in Everglades National Park are beckoning, mysterious, stress-relieving cheap thrills.
Even for people like my bank teller.
Consider a simple three-hour canoe trip. Or an overnight adventure. Either way, you can see the United States` most endangered national park in a way that a noisy airboat ride or a hike on land can`t match.
A bonus right now: The mosquitoes aren`t bad. And thousands of wintering birds are swooping for fish at Bear Lake and on other trails.
On my first Everglades canoe trip, I peek into the Hells Bay trail head but decide instead to paddle beyond the bald eagles of Florida Bay to sleep below a star-speckled sky at Clubhouse Beach. This is the simple trip, directionally speaking. Just paddle along the state`s coastline and see what Florida looked like before waterfront condos.
-- Renting a canoe can be harder than paddling into the sparkling mirrored waters of Florida Bay. This is a hot time for canoe rentals at Everglades National Park. So follow one of these tips: Borrow a canoe from a friend. Or reserve one at the park. Or rent one from elsewhere. That way, you won`t begin your mellow encounter with nature feeling like you`ve been in line at Disney World.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Mets are set to hire Gary DiSarcina as their bench coach, rounding out rookie manager Mickey Callaway's staff.
WFAN baseball insider Jon Heyman confirmed the hire, first reported by the Boston Globe and Fox Sports.
DiSarcina, 49, spent last season as the Red Sox's bench coach under manager John Farrell, who was fired last month despite leading the team to an American League East title. Prior to last season, DiSarcina spent three years with the Los Angeles Angels, serving as third-base and later first-base coach.
He managed the Single-A Lowell Spinners for three seasons and the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox for one year — both teams are in the Red Sox orginization. Baseball America named DiSarcina the 2013 Minor League Manager of the Year after he led Pawtucket to the International League finals. He also spent time working in the Angels' front office.
DiSarcina was a major league shortstop for the Angels from 1989-2000. He batted .258 with 28 homers for his career and was selected to the All-Star Game in 1995.
MORE: Mets Pick Up Options For Cabrera, Blevins
He replaces Dick Scott, who was not retained after Collins stepped down as manager last month. DiSarcina played under Collins, who remains with the Mets as a special assistant to the general manager, for three seasons in Anaheim.
Other new faces on Callaway's staff are first-base coach Ruben Amaro Jr. — who also comes over from the Red Sox — and pitching coach Dave Eiland — most recently the Royals' pitching coach.
The holdovers are third-base coach Glenn Sherlock, bullpen coach Ricky Bones and Pat Roessler, who was promoted from assistant hitting coach to hitting coach.

|I planted about 6 years ago a red japanese maple tree in front of my step. It was doing beautifully until this spring I noticed there are dead branches on one side of the tree or bush with no red leaves coming out at all. This week the entire tree has leaves except one section. My neighbor and I believe maybe it is wind damage from the winter storms we had this winter. What can I do to help it?
|If you maple has suffered from winter damage, the dead branches will not regenerate new leaves and should be pruned away from your tree. I'd prune it back now in the spring to encourage new stems and branches. Aside from pruning out the dead plant parts, there's not much else you need to do. Best wishes with your tree.

Statement of the Embassy of Sri Lanka on the Screening of "No Fire Zone: the Killing Fields of Sri Lanka" documentary in Oslo on 18th October 2013
- Press release
The Government of Sri Lanka strongly protests against the efforts by the Foundation Film from the South for the screening of the documentary film "No Fire Zone: the Killing Fields of Sri Lanka".
Sri Lanka views this film 'No Fire Zone: the Killing Fields of Sri Lanka, which follows the screening of Sri Lanka's Killing Fields' (June 2011) and 'Sri Lanka's Killing Fields: War Crimes Unpunished' (March 2012), as part of a cynical, concerted and orchestrated vilification campaign against the country and clearly motivated by collateral political considerations.
The disputed series of Channel 4 films contain discredited, uncorroborated and unsubstantiated materials. No Fire Zone: the Killing Fields of Sri Lanka' documentary comes from largely rehashed and recycled materials to suite to the story line. Further, the documentary liberally uses the video footages from LTTE's propaganda television and substantiates its story with the identified LTTE Front Organization members such as Ms. Vani Kumar. The Government of Sri Lanka has also highlighted the misinterpretation and manipulation made in the statement of civilians in the documentary for which so fat it has not received any response from the film producer.
The Channel 4 previously turned down repeated requests by Sri Lanka's domestic reconciliation mechanism, the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC), to make available to them a copy of the original footage, so that its authenticity can be verified. Instead, the Director of the documentary, Mr. Callum Macrae has embarked on a globe trotting venture and gone to great lengths to use the documentaries to vilify Sri Lanka. In pursuance of his anti Sri Lanka campaign, Mr. Macrae has now joined hands with the very LTTE Front Organizations such as TYO, TNGTE and GTF, which were instrumental in prolonging the misery of Tamil people and now wearing the cloak of human rights advocates. However, irrespective of Sri Lanka's categorical rejection of the Channel 4 footage and its authenticity, Sri Lankan authorities has nevertheless begun a process of investigating the allegations.
While the Embassy does not give any credence to either the event or the documentary, wish to state that giving a platform for such a biased documentary would only serve to provide a distorted version of the 30 long years of the conflict and undermine the peace and reconciliation process that is taking root in the country.

Due to the publication of a mathematical memoir in 1765, Condorcet came to the attention of scientists of France. He was elected as a member of the Academy of Sciences in 1769 eventually becoming its permanent secretary. Later he became a member also of the Académie Française. Due to his political activities after the French Revolution, particularly the publication of the pamphlet Avis aux français (A Warning to the French), a warrent was issued for his arrest on 8 July 1793. After a period of flight, Condorcet was arrested on 27 March in Clamart and taken to the prison in Bourg-la-Reine. He was found dead the next morning. This prompted the rumor that he had committed suicide.
Condorcet is best known for the

A word about vegetable matter!
Alpaca yarn is a natural product, grown by exuberant, mischievous animals who love rolling in dust, splashing in puddles, and generally doing anything they can to get lots of vegetation and mud stuck in their lovely fleeces.
We process the fibre in small batches, sorting it carefully by hand, but you may still find the odd grass seed or small bit of hay in the yarn. These are easily picked out as you knit, and we hope that you'll forgive the inconvenience for the joy of knowing that the alpacas concerned live such carefree, happy, outdoor lives.
Alpaca comes in a wide variety of natural colours. The majority of our fleece comes from our own small herd and other breeders across Scotland. However, we source some additional supplies of a few rarer colours (especially black and grey) from select breeders in Cumbria, Northumberland and Yorkshire, but if you especially want yarn from Scotland, just let us know and we'll make sure that you receive pure Scottish Alpaca.
Yarn Types
Alpaca is a very soft, silky, luxuriously dense yarn, so you'll find that the length per 100g is a bit shorter than for wool. The average weights of our yarns are shown below, although as they are made in a very small scale craft process, each batch will be just a bit different to the next!

Caring for alpaca yarn
Our yarn is supplied with a light mineral oil coating, which helps to protect the delicate fibres and reduce static during processing. This is easily removed by washing the finished garment. For best results, gently hand wash in warm water (about 30°C) using a wool detergent, and rinse in warm water. The key to preventing felting is to avoid any rapid changes in temperature, or too much movement of the garment in the water. After washing, roll the garment inside a large towel and gently squeeze (don't wring); or machine spin inside a pillow case and allow to dry flat. Never tumble dry!

I will be thinking and writing a lot about this workshop over the next few days, but one of the things that really landed on me was the fact that our country has a narrative that most of us have all agreed to support, whether consciously or unconsciously.
The narrative goes like this:
"People" are white... unless they're different.
"Different" can mean anything from Asian to extra-terrestrial, and in the case of children's literature, tends to skew more Martian than Malaysian.
As we talked about the impact of this mainstream narrative that favors white stories, I began to wonder about my own children's library, and what kind of narrative I was supplying for my kiddos.
So I came home and sorted every children's book in the house.
2. Stories about Mixed Groups - Stories that picture lots of different races/ethnicities, including stories where the main character is white, but there are characters of other races pictured.
3. White Stories - Stories that only have white people in them. Zero faces of color.
4. No People Stories - Trucks, animals, counting books, etc. No people in the book.
And here's where #ThisSmugLiberal's library ended up:
1. Stories of Color:
Yep, out of 434 books, a whopping 21 were stories about people of color.
And of those 21, 8 were stories about civil rights leaders and slavery narratives, and one was a Just-This-Side-Of-Bullshit retelling of the first Thanksgiving.
We have more books about PETE THE CAT than we do about Black people, Asian people, Indian people, Native American people, Latino/Hispanic people, and Middle Eastern people COMBINED.
2. OK But There's Always Mixed Group Stories:
53 of our 434 books depicted mixed groups of varying races and colors, so that's pretty good, right?
Eeeeeeeeh... not so fast.
Of our 53 books with mixed groups, only 18 of them had a person of color on either the front or back cover, and NONE of them had a person of color ALONE on the cover.
But 33 of the mixed-group books had a white person on the cover, and 15 of those books had a white person ALONE on the cover.
but she gets a black friend so
she does too
you just have to...
keep flipping...
she's definitely in there
wait go back
|i mean
3. So That Takes Us Right To Where We Always Knew We Were Going. White Stories:
I knew that whiteness was prevalent in children's literature, but I was blissfully unaware of the way we default to whiteness SO HARD.
Like, there's no reason this guy has to be white:
look like this
all people do
Pretty sure mermaids can be literally any color since they are imaginary creatures. Go wild, pick a color, any color, any color in the rainbow or beyond, she could be any color you could imagi--
you went with
no i mean
it's a classic
But Mowgli is a character who is known to be an Indian boy, like INDIAN, from INDIA, grew up in the jungle, he'll definitely be--
|are you
kidding me
But there's no historical data insinuating that this congress of agitated cavemen would have been white:
One of these kids? Coulda been brown! Or a girl! OR... A BROWN GIRL! Wait, no, that's crazy talk. First, there's already a girl in this picture and she's the Statue of Liberty and nobody wants to see a page with all girls on it blech. Second, people would think it was a book about Rosa Parks and get confused about why there's a French sculptor on page 3.
|the text says
"people can climb up to the crown."
and then it shows
exactly what
look like
But no, of course none of THOSE people would be non-white, because none of those books is about RACE.
Being non-white in a children's book is a strong choice. Books about people of color can be about slavery, the Civil Rights Movement, immigration to white America, how they do Christmas in another country, the importance of diversity, and teaching white people about your weirdo customs.
Books about white people can be about all that stuff, PLUS cookies, sand castles, trips to the zoo, and wizardry.
With a non-white hero, the book has an agenda. It can't just be fun. It can't just be an adventure. If this book has a black kid on the cover, his blackness is a factor.
He can't just be a person who happens to black and also found a puppy.
He has to be a person who is black and found a puppy and brought it to his grandma who marched with Dr. King and she takes him on a lyrical retelling of the bus boycott, and then the little boy names the puppy Montgomery and his grandma is like "You've gotta fight for what you believe, Edwin," and suddenly, the book isn't about puppies anymore. It's about EQUALITY. And kids LOVE stories with NO puppies and LOTS of equality.
Sometimes it feels like this conversation happened everywhere:
Publisher: (lights a cigarette) UGH people are asking for more black person books.
Writer: Ew why.
Publisher: I honestly don't know, Todd.
Writer: What the hell am I supposed to do, Randy? I've got a book about a little girl who feeds ducks at the park almost locked, and I've already named her Susan and I don't need to tell you...
Illustrator: I could just color her brown if you want--
Publisher: God damn it Preston you can't color Susan brown! Her name's SUSAN.
Writer: SUSAN.
Illustrator: Sorry. Sorry. I was just thinking that people of any color could be named any name but obviously that was--
Writer: Goddamned Bolshevik is what it was, Preston.
Illustrator: OK, yeah, no, that's not--
Publisher: Preston's an asshole but that doesn't change our problem, Todd. We're getting a lot of pressure. We need to put out a black person book.
Writer: Randy. Come on. Look at me. I don't know how to write books about black people. What do they DO all day long? I mean... (shakes head, scoffs, shrugs)... Preston? You seem to know a lot about... them...
Illustrator: (mumbles) I'm pretty sure they do the same things we--
Publisher: SHUT THE FUCK UP PRESTON.
Writer: Randy. Randy! No, I've got it. I'm a goddamned pink-cheeked Irish genius.
Publisher: What?
Writer: What are black people.
Publisher: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... black?
Illustrator: People. They're people. Black people are peop--
Writer: SLAVES. Black people were slaves, right? SLAVE BOOKS. For KIDS. KID SLAVE BOOKS.
Publisher: HOLY BALLS.
Illustrator: Do you think... that children will find those books... enjoyable?
Publisher: Fuck no, Preston! It'll be like taking their medicine! But we'll do a shitload of bummer slave books and after that we can do some concept-heavy books about laws and walking.
Illustrator: Listen, not to stick my head in the lion's mouth here, but don't you think that giving children images of black kids ONLY as slaves and second-class citizens might reinforce the idea that black people only exist in a struggle against white people, who are the owners of all the power and sometimes literally of the black people themselves? And maybe reinforcing the idea of the black person as less-than, or only occupying the worlds of pain and oppression, that we might, through our work as children's book creators, instill a self-fulfilling prophecy, a sense of inferiority, and excruciating self-loathing in young, innocent black children who have never done anything to deserve this kind of cruel neglect?
Publisher: Wow Preston.
Writer: Yeah. Wow. Is Aunt Flo in town? AGAIN?
Publisher: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA GOOD ONE TODD. OK, green light on the kid slave books. PRESTON, don't draw any FACES on the black people, okay? Silhouettes only. Make it look arty though.
Illustrator: This is super fucked-up you guys.
Writer: (high-fives Randy) They can make me write 'em, but they can't make me write 'em FUN. Ha, they'll wish they'd never asked for any black person books.
167 out of our 434 books had white people and ONLY white people.
Yep. 38.4% of our children's books are ones that David Duke would happily read to his grandson.
The worst part is, they are some of our favorite books - Brave Irene, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man.
No wonder, as I stacked the books, Chicken surveyed the "white" stack and said, "Which ones are these?"
"The white people only ones," I said.
Chicken nodded. "I like books with only white people then."
Here's the thing that gets me right in the gut.
My kids are white and they look at our books and they read the books and look at the pictures and they understand where they exist in the landscape of our society.
They are the firefighters, the doctors, the baseball players, the scientists, the loving daddies, the boys who built the fort, the ones who befriended a robot or threw a pizza party for a raccoon.
They live in houses like our house. They go to school in a school like ours.
They have impish wit, good hearts, great ideas. They are nourished by the world in which they can see figures who look like them, doing great things, fun things, silly things, literally anything.
I have no problem with these books.
But then, I imagine that all of our books about white kids were actually about fish. And all my kids ever read about every day was fish - firefighting fish, doctor fish, athlete fish. These fish live in a reef, not a house like ours. Their school? Not the same one we go to.
The fish are brave and curious and kind. They are silly and funny and sometimes they mess up but it's always okay. They have eyes and mouths like us, but... they're different. Or... we're different.
Oh, I mean, obviously the fish books wouldn't have a PROBLEM with white kids. And I think that would be clear in the way they peppered in a couple of white kids, in traditional white kid haircuts and clothes. You know, like in a fish crowd scene? Like, fish, fish, fish, white boy in Tevas with a faux-hawk, fish, fish, fish... just for balance. Just to make sure they're represented.
What would my children come to understand about their place in the world from seeing their own sketchy faces peering out of the murky water at the tremendous heroism and rich character of these fish who are NOTHING like them?
Sure, I could explain to my kids, "I know you don't LOOK like the fish, and your life looks completely different from the fish's life, but you know what, kiddo? Those fish aren't better than you. You can do anything that those fish do." Of course, I could say that, and I would if I had to. A lot of parents do.
But I don't have to, because the world met us at our door and delivered a thousand books that smile up at my children and say, "You are capable. You are interesting. You belong." I love that my children get that validation from our books.
But beautiful, kind, strong, smart children look at those same books every day and think, "It's like I don't exist. Nobody is like me. Where am I? Where do I belong? This is a good story but I'm not in it. I'm not anywhere."
People are white... unless they're different.
Our cultural narrative says so. Our children's books say so. So if "they" are not white, then are "they" still people? I'm really asking - do you think the books on your shelf teach your child that people of color are real, full, complex people?
Because if people of color are not "people," to our children, it will be harder for them to learn to apply their humanity to them, to feel necessary outrage when they are abused, to feel true joy when they succeed.
If we grow our white kids' self-worth without nurturing the fullness of their empathy and humility, then we've failed to give them the gift of humanity.
Because when white people grow up to feel anxious and uncomfortable about the strangeness of other races, that's when black men get suffocated to death on the street for selling cigarettes.
Because when white people grow up to feel that their own lives are interesting and valuable, and the lives of the "characters" of color they meet are merely sketched-out placeholders, that's when boys think it might be interesting to find out what it's like to sodomize a black child with a coat hanger.
Parents buy books for their kids to teach them about the world, right?
We buy books to give our kids a menu of role models to choose from, and a moral center rooted in the mistakes they didn't, themselves, have to make.
We buy books to teach our kids how to read, count, say please, use the potty, avoid pedophiles, accept death, stop biting... we buy books to use as tools to soften their humanity when it's still as jagged as those first baby teeth.
So why do my kids know more about Pete the Cat than they do about human beings of other races?
Because we're white, and I was very comfortably seated within a narrative that applauds me for being born, believing that the affirmation we got from these books was because my children are good, and not because they are white.
We have to expand what character looks like for our kids. The characters have to have every color.
This isn't going to happen accidentally. Excellent children's books starring diverse characters will not simply find their way onto your shelves. You have to go out and find them. You have to buy them on purpose.
Here's the challenge - look at the books on your shelves and count how many of them center stories of color. Look at the books on your shelves and count how many of them feature white people who didn't HAVE to be white. Recognize that you are part of the narrative.
People are white... unless they're different.
Look, there is no children's book about how to not be racist.
But "The Snowy Day" gives us a moment inside the real, full heart and deep feelings and untethered ideas of a child of color.
It lets us discover how we are ALL delighted by the smacking sound a stick makes against a tree.
It connects us ALL with the magic, the possibility of what may lie buried in the deep, deep snow.
Correction: This blog post originally identified the kickass children's book "The Snowy Day," as "A Snowy Day." My bad.

MA Political Communication
Modern democracies are increasingly shaped by the relationships between politicians, mass media and citizens. This interdisciplinary programme applies ideas from a range of approaches to give you an insight into the context and production of political journalism and communication.
Core modules will introduce you to political communication in established and emerging democracies worldwide, exploring the ethics and power dynamics at play. You'll ask questions around media freedom, the responsibilities of journalists, 'spin doctors', the impact of emerging technologies and whether elections really are decided on TV.
You'll also tailor the programme to suit your personal and career interests, choosing from optional modules on topics such as digital media, PR and the role of the media in democratisation. Supported by our Media Industries Research Centre, leading researchers and experienced practitioners, you'll be well equipped for a career in this challenging field.
Our School has a range of fantastic facilities to support your studies. The 58-seat Phil Taylor Cinema is equipped with Dolby Digital sound and high-definition projection facilities, as well as projectors for 16mm and 35mm film.
You can also work on your own projects in our 44 editing suites, equipped with Avid Media Composer editing software and Adobe Creative Cloud. The fully equipped TV studio also has a large green screen area, lighting and photo-flash facilities. We also have a track and dolly, sliders, Glidecam and various cranes, and you'll have access to a new photographic dark room.
We also run a loans service where you can borrow a range of HD digital camcorders and various Canon stills cameras to help with your project work.
Throughout the year you'll study two core modules that cover the foundations of the programme, exploring the role of communications in contemporary politics.
You'll look at different models of contemporary democracy and compare the relations between political actors, the media and citizens. From there you'll move onto recent innovations sparked by cultural, technological and political change. With this in mind, you'll then design a political campaign that incorporates some of these developments.
On top of this, you'll build specialist knowledge through your choice of optional modules. These vary every year, but can include topics such as television narrative, media and globalisation, urban narratives, and media and democratisation. The optional modules allow you to focus on topics that suit your own interests or perhaps reflect your career plans.
Throughout the year, you'll also be preparing for your dissertation through the Dissertation and Research Methods module. Your dissertation is a major independent research project on a topic of your choice, which you submit at the end of the year.
If you choose to study part-time, you'll complete the MA over two years, instead of one, taking fewer modules each year.

Encompass tackles the complex renovation and expansion of an 86 year-old school complex. They are using Sefaira to investigate the impact of design decisions on overall energy and daylight building performance.
Project Stats
Project type: Renovation and expansion of an existing school complex
Location: Nebraska
Building type: Education – Elementary School
Floor area / stories / occupancy: 7,100sf cafeteria & food service / 1 story + 3,850sf Mechanical Mezzanine + 15,250sf New Roof
Budget: Withheld
Project stage: Design Development
Norwood Park Elementary School was built in 1926, with additions made in 1957, 1963 and 2010. Due to the increased number of elementary school students in the area, the school requires an additional food service and cafeteria area, and additional space for mechanical systems on a mezzanine level.
The Design Challenge
Encompass Architecture needed to improve performance for an existing collection of buildings while seamlessly integrating high-performing new additions.
To meet this challenge, Encompass used Sefaira's Revit Plug-In and the Sefaira Web App to understand the existing building's energy and daylight performance, analysing strategies to achieve well-lit, efficient spaces.
Encompass started by creating a model of the existing building, setting it up with an ASHRAE 90.1 2013 baseline. Next, they went on to optimise the:
- glazing ratio on an existing facade
- glazing ratio and shading for the new cafeteria
- envelope for the new cafeteria
- roof for the new mezzanine roof
Here's how they did it.
Optimising the Glazing Ratio on an Existing Facade:
Ten windows on the existing west facade had been filled in at some point in the school's history. The design team wanted to find out the impact on daylight levels and glare (sDA & ASE), if these were opened up once more. Re-establishing the windows on the west facade increased the glazing ratio from 19% to 30%.
Analysis indicated that this increased glare on the 1st floor plane by 20%.
The team used parametric analysis in Sefaira Architecture's web app to determine the ideal glazing ratio for balancing energy consumption, cooling and heating loads. Increasing the glazing ratio had a negligible effect on all three factors (+/-%), making it a feasible design option.
Optimising the New Cafeteria Glazing Ratio (south & east facades):
Next, the team compared three glazing ratios for the new cafeteria — a 35% glazing ratio baseline, a 50% glazing option and then to a 50% glazing option with a horizontal projection.
The daylight visualisation from Sefaira clearly shows increased daylight levels deeper in the floor plate in options 2 and 3. Without shading, as in option 2, a lot more of this natural light is glare.
The shading on option 3 was then parametrically analysed to determine the ideal length for balancing heating and cooling loads.
Starting with the minimum required code of ASHRAE 90.1 2013, the team compared these results to various other envelopes (R5 – R30), including the practice's standard assembly. They discovered that specifying their standard assembly leads to a 5% decrease in Annual Heating over the baseline and specifying the R20 and R30 values offered an 8% and 11% improvement respectively.
Optimising the roof specification
The baseline roof specification of R-30.87 for the cafeteria was already quite high performing – an improvement to R-40 would lead to a 5% reduction in Annual Heating Loads.
Choosing this higher roof specification (R-40) would also impose an added capital cost of $5900.
The team decided to leave the existing building in its existing form – all ten west facing windows would remain filled in. The wall served as vital surface area for teaching and this option meant they could avoid any additional glare within the teaching space.
For the new cafeteria, they selected the higher glazing ratio of 50% with a horizontal projection for shading. Sefaira results showed that this option balances daylight and energy best, increasing sDA by 30% and offering a light new cafeteria for students and school staff without unwanted glare.
A better performing wall specification with an R value of 20 was selected over the code minimum of R11.12, resulting in an 8% reduction in Annual Heating Loads. Specifying an R-value higher than this was not a good investment because it did not reduce operating costs by a significant amount, despite being more expensive to buy.
For the mezzanine roof, specifying a buildup of R-40 yielded a 5% reduction in Annual Heating Loads. This was not a feasible option when reviewed against the added cost (an additional $0.38 per square foot. 15,500sf in total = $5,900). As such, the reasonable choice was to specify the high performing code baseline value.
Overall, the design team analysed numerous scenarios and verified results through team reviews and collaboration with engineers. Sefaira results were crucial for presenting various design options and helped illustrate the impact of each decision on building performance and cost to the client.
"Encompass Architects was founded on the commitment to sustainable design. Our challenge has been a lack of means to test and measure the value and impact of sustainable strategies, especially in the initial stages of design. Sefaira allows us to evaluate options early in the design process and quickly arrive at value-driven solutions which minimise initial costs and maximise long term building performance. Most importantly, the information allows our clients to make better and more informed decisions regarding their project." Todd Hesson, AIA Vice President Encompass Architects.

My wife and I regularly argue about the health benefits of bacon. I say it is good for you. She says it will kill you in your sleep 20 years too soon. Now, she did go to 2 years of med school, and knows a lot about the early stages of the digestion process (teeth, chewing, brushing, lugies, etc). But I've been studying bacon for the last 29 years and know it can do you no wrong.
Here's the secret to eating bacon and staying fit. It turns out that people who exercise before breakfast are able to keep the fat off better than people who exercise later in the day (here's the proof, thanks NYTIMES).
Now, I couldn't bring myself to read the whole thing, mainly because it's proof that I've been right for years. The short version is, getting yourself out of bed for that 5:30 am workout isn't just good for your top speed come race day, it's good for your waistline too.
Back to bacon. I mean basics. We've talked a lot on TeamScrappy about the benefits of good nutrition. Next time you're winding up for a lazy Saturday morning workout over a cup of coffee and a nice tasty bowl of whole milk maple yogurt, spin that little guy around and take a look at how much fat you're consuming. Next time, wake up early, hit it hard, and eat more bacon.

I try to separate my thoughts on my life and faith from my reflections on current events. I would normally post something like this on my other blog, but feel compelled to post it here.
The NYTimes Lens blog ran a story about a battalion being deployed to Afghanistan.
Their assignment is to set up the forward operating base in Kunduz, partnered with the Afghan national police in that province, to establish security in the region. They're on a partnering mission, training for the most part. [Gen. Stanley A.] McChrystal's game plan this whole time has been counter-insurgency. Part of it is establishing a strong local police force and an Afghan national army presence. (site)Look at the pictures, see their faces. Realize they have families. Then ask yourself what they are dying for. I love that everyone complained and yelled and screamed about sending our young men and women to die in Iraq (another post for another day) but have said nothing about Afghanistan. Talk about a political war. Iraq I can swallow, Afghanistan makes me sick.
In April of 2009 a law was passed in Afghanistan making marital rape legal. The AP ran a brief story on it
The Guardian wrote about the outcry, led by Gordon Brown. The law, "is said to forbid women to refuse to have sex with their husbands and force them to get their spouses' permission before leaving the house, looking for a job, going to the doctor or receiving education."
Many in the international community spoke out against this ridiculous law. Gordon Brown, the Chancellor of Germany, the UN.
And Obama? Well he called the law "abhorrent" but then essentially said it wasn't the U.S's place to intervene.
Our goal in Afghanistan, according to Obama - is. "to fight al-Qaeda and that is the most important thing."
Now we come full circle - they are connected, I promise.
As a woman standing in the freedom many died to give me. As a woman who can vote today become some pretty courageous women took a stand 90 years ago, I find it totally obscene that we would send our men and women to die in a country that allows such a law to exist. At least we went into Iraq to end the corrupt government and bring about basic liberties - here, we are covering our own tails and that is all. I find it totally incomprehensible that this war has been allowed to go on. And that so little is being said about the laws the Afghan government is passing against its own people...
We have overcome too much as a country, as women, to be spending money and men and resources into a country that de-vaules women so severely. How many millions of dollars get pumped into Afghanistan every year?
It breaks my heart.
I have met some incredible people that serve in our military. Some of them are being sent to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It's a lot harder to stand for war once they have faces and names and you know them.
FDR said: I have seen war. I hate war.
I am having a hard time reconciling all of this at the moment. I am not a pacifist by any means. I agree with having a military and bring about peace and stability and defending our borders and protecting freedom...
...But I feel like here (and maybe it's always this way in war) our men and women - and they are OURS, our brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, mothers, lovers, best friends, neighbors... They are Americans just like us. They are people, humans, with lives, emotions, dreams, etc. - are being treated more like chess pawns that people. This is not some international game of Risk - there are real people involved. And it's not just our soldiers, but those of us left behind who love them and are left with no control and no guarantees...
"I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen two hundred limping exhausted men come out of line-the survivors of a regiment of one thousand that went forward forty-eight hours before. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war." (FDR)

Out Now: Judging Shaw by Fintan O'Toole18 October 2017
The fourth book in our award-winning 'Judging' series is now available in all good bookshops and on our website
The Royal Irish Academy/Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann champions research. We identify and recognise Ireland's world class researchers. We support scholarship and promote awareness of how science and the humanities enrich our lives and benefit society. We believe that good research needs to be promoted, sustained and communicated. The Academy is run by a Council of its members. Membership is by election and considered the highest Academic honour in Ireland.Read more about the RIA
George Bernard Shaw was the most famous Irishman in the world for much of his life – yet, for many, he is now largely forgotten. If he's remembered at all in popular culture, it's as the author of the original play on which My Fair Lady was based, Pygmalion.
Judging Shaw - the Shaw Day festival aims to change that – a new festival of all things Shavian, coordinated by the Royal Irish Academy, to mark the anniversary of Shaw's death on November 2, 1950.
The fourth book in our award-winning 'Judging' series is now available in all good bookshops and on our website
This book explores the origin and evolution of the concepts of citizenship and identity in Ireland

Selecting and Using Walkers for Mobility and Safety
ZOOM ZOOM that's how we roll
New Legs? Not quite, but a decent alternative.
You can't help notice the growing number of handicapped and elderly people who are moving about with help from one of the two basic styles of walkers that are available. Those who are recovering from hip surgery, knee replacements and other foot and leg problems find these devices quite helpful. While they are used only temporarily by some, until their healing and therapy is complete, people suffering from severe arthritis and rheumatoid issues and others who are generally too weak to function on their own are inclined to use walkers throughout their lives.
We are all aware of these products, but in so many cases because of lack of information about the product options available or just plain stubbornness, the elderly refuse to spend a few of their dollars to improve their life style, or are not aware of the many developments that can make life easier for them.
A Better Choice For Safety and More Mobility
On the other hand, if its a matter of affordability, previously owned walkers can be purchased at Thrift Shops or the Salvation Army, Goodwill Shops and on Craig's list for a fraction of the cost of new unit. Walkers can be found for as little as $10 to $20 for a used walker, many of which used only a month or so.
Before leaving the topic of walking aids and walkers specifically, vanity should be addressed. Some men and women are too vain to acquiesce to the reality and admit that they are old, and getting older. There is no shame in that. Their is shame only if those people fail to do their best to improve their lives. A walker is a personal freedom vehicle that can allow immobile men and women to step away from that corner chair at Point A and walk on over to all the activity and fun over at Point B. That's the way you should roll.
Walkers are lightweight and can be collapsed for storage or easy transport in any car. What's holding you up? Get yourself moving. If you have an aging or handicapped relative who could use a walker, step up to the plate and provide them with one. It shouldn't cost you more than a week's amount of Starbucks coffee.
Let's Roll
The classic example is the little old lady or man who plods along dragging his o her aluminum walking stand along. They are easily recognizable by the tennis balls that are attacked to the posts of the walker/. The tennis balls are intended to reduce the friction on the device as it is dragged along carpets, concrete, grass and whatever. Watch someone maneuver one of these rudimentary aids and you cam see how hard they struggle to get from Point A to that elusive Point B , ten feet away.
What's the answer to that issue? It's called wheels, or to be more exact, walkers equipped with wheels at the corners and a easy to use hand brake that allows safe passage and easy use. How easy is that? The same women and men who spend a hundred dollars a month or more on Bingo games or casino junkets will refuse to buy a new walker on wheels from the drug store or medical supply house. What's with that? Often these walkers are available from Medicare under certain circumstances. In any event, one can't help but shake their head in disbelief at the foolishness and frugal attitudes of many seniors.
Perhaps their children are to blame for not forcing the issue with their elderly parents, but walkers on wheels make sense. Come now people, take better care of yourselves. There is no reason to risk a fall caused by dragging those tennis balls over the floor. Don't worry about spending junior's inheritance. He would rather have his parents around safe, sound and mobile.
Walkers for less
sturdy construction, bargain price allows you to roll along instead of dragging those tennis balls.

I have always loved the idea of doing a lot with a little, of a small footprint, of compact elegance. When I was little, my dad had a sporting goods store (literally, a Mom 'n' Pop store) and I used to obsess about backpacking equipment. I was transfixed by the idea of being able to carry everything you need on your back — food, clothing, shelter, tools, maybe even a deck of cards, the whole of Maslow's hierarchy in a bag. Not that I ever actually went backpacking; I was into the idea of it, not the physical labor, and certainly not sleeping on the ground! I used to load and unload a frame pack with gear, and make lists of everything you could need.
Later, I entered a phase of designing tree houses. This was funny because I lived in the Texas panhandle, one of the most treeless wastes in America, a tabletop of spiky mesquite. I was fascinated by the idea of building all the comforts of home into a space the size of a bathroom. I studied techniques for constructing platforms that fold up into a wall. I dreamed about how to save space without compromising on amenities.
After spending some time in Europe as a young adult, I realized one of things I loved about it was the care that Europeans take in conserving space, energy, materials. Here is a place where they know how to embrace constraints. I think what excites me about this is the idea that ingenuity can overcome scarcity, that better design can turn less into more.
In 2003 I bought my first Mac, a 12" PowerBook G4, because I saw it as the first portable computer that perfected a tiny footprint without compromises. In particular, before that time any laptop that small had opted to leave out the CD/DVD drive, with an optional external drive dangling from it in a rude display of poor taste. Apple's designers had conquered scarcity with ingenuity. Five years later, our PowerBook has been battered almost beyond recognition, but we still use it every day and I still consider it one of the best-made machines of any type I've ever seen.
Rumor has it that Apple is going to unveil an ultra-portable computer next week at the Macworld expo[1]. If the pundits are right, this one will not only forgo the optical drive, but the standard mechanical hard drive as well, opting for a flash-only drive like this 32GB model from Samsung.
32GB? No DVD drive? Isn't that going to suck? My money says it will rule. Don't forget that when Apple introduced the first iMac in 1998, it had no floppy drive, and people thought this was insane. But Steve Jobs knew then what we eventually all came to know: floppy disks are lame. Today, the number of applications on my MacBook that I installed from a disc is exactly one (QuickBooks Pro, the only vestige of software's shrink-wrapped legacy I use), and thanks to the iTunes music store, it's been a loooong time since I ripped a CD. This means that most of the time I'm carrying around my MacBook's DVD-ROM drive as dead weight.
But what about that (relatively) tiny flash hard drive? After all, I've got 150GB on my lap right now. The secret is the network. Our drives can shrink now because more and more of the data we care about is in the cloud. The new way to think of desktop storage is as a local cache of the things you need right now. Apple is betting that once we can rent movies straight to the Mac, we won't need to keep a library of them on disk. With all kinds of documents and affordable storage moving online, and the growing ubiquity of high-speed net access, we can live with a smaller, faster, sturdier, noiseless hard drive.
If this new machine is what I hope it is, I'm all over it like white on rice. Less is more, baby.
IKEA makes me swoon. I fantasize about having my office in an Airstream trailer. Sometimes I imagine I'm still a bachelor (no offense, honey) and my only possessions are a few changes of clothes and some toiletries in a bag, my computer, my phone, my mandolin, and the book I'm currently reading.
As the network grows, my computer can shrink. Bring it!
[1] My thanks to Daring Fireball, for setting me straight on the correct spelling of "Macworld".
