Seeing Red for Education – Investing in Education is a National Security Issue
by: Paula Golden, President of Broadcom Foundation
Arriving in Tucson last month, my car passed a sea of red-shirted teachers protesting in solidarity with over 50,000 educators who marched out of their classrooms to the Phoenix statehouse to demand more funding for public schools. Teachers in Arizona and Colorado joined ranks with colleagues from states like West Virginia, Oklahoma and Kentucky – with more to come.
This phalanx is seeing "Red for Ed'ucation." Rightly so; and it is no small irony that the people's rebellion over education has been erupting in so-called 'Red States' whose elected officials have rejected federal and state funding strategies that might have averted such devastating consequences. According to the Washington Post, "(t)wenty-nine states now spend less per student on K-12 education than a decade ago… and a number of these states have also cut income taxes, including […]
Creating International Collaboration for Tomorrow's Discovery
Breakthroughs in science and engineering don't happen in a vacuum… but when multi-cultural and cross-disciplinary brainpower combines in one room to tackle big ideas, it moves mountains!
That is the vision behind the Broadcom Foundation University Student Workshops. The KKT Workshop – now in its 16th year – is proof of concept, and the inaugural EMEA Workshop in 2017 and upcoming 2018 Asia Pacific Student Workshop reflect the foundation's commitment to innovation through international collaboration.
For the 2017 EMEA Student University Workshop, Vice President for Academic Programs & University Relations Nick Alexopoulos partnered with professors from Tel Aviv University, Israel, Imperial College London, U.K., University College Dublin, Ireland, and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India to bring together some of the brightest students in engineering, computer science and neuroscience to collaborate on 'Brain Emulation.'
The workshop's topic was […]
Changing the Game by Middle School: Stopping Sexual Harassment Before It Starts
Tackling sexual harassment in a blog that focuses on inspiring kids to become scientists and engineers might seem incongruous, but as I listen to salacious stories rolling out from the Nation's Capital and the Big Apple to Hollywood and Silicon Valley, a song from Rogers and Hammerstein's 1949 Broadway blockbuster South Pacific keeps repeating in my ear:
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.
As a Boomer, I grew up believing that a level playing field was all we needed for women to succeed in their chosen fields. The #MeToo movement has radically changed my thinking, so I am adding my voice to the chorus of millennial women who say there needs to be a fundamental cultural shift in the American Workplace.
This cultural shift must begin before […]
STEM, Scouting and Finding Your Tribe: The Importance of Rites of Passage in Middle School
I take scouting seriously: my family recited the Boy Scout Law at my father's funeral as my brother, an Eagle Scout, wept.
Last week, I started a blog about how programs like scouting and the Broadcom MASTERS® create modern-day rites of passage through which young people can find their place in a society that amplifies the positive values and aspirational interests that enables them to become adults in-full and leaders in science, engineering, letters and the arts as well as society at large.
The National Boy Scout Jamboree has been a scouting rite of passage for decades; one that all scouts are encouraged to experience as they go from Tenderfoot to the "apex of leadership and character." Thus, I was extremely gratified by the Boy Scouts of America CEO's public disavowal of President Trump's address at the National Jamboree when, rather than giving guidance and inspiration from […]
Learn a Superpower – Coding
Marking the dawn for yet another superhero revival, Wonder Woman, is enjoying a much-anticipated reprise at movie theaters everywhere — the popular comic heroine finally displays her superpower strength on the big screen.

Huffington Post: STE(A)MING MAD AND MARCHING FOR SCIENCE: The Union of Concerned Scientists are Concerned for the Union
This spring, my friend sent me a photo of the Jefferson Memorial, which we visited long before the ascension of Donald Trump and his Republican Congress. The image triggered this thought: were he here today, Thomas Jefferson – scientist, engineer, inventor, botanist, author of the Declaration of Independence, third president of the United States and founder of the University of Virginia (the first to open a school of engineering and applied sciences,) would be leading the March for Science on April 22.
Throngs of scientists and science-minded citizens like me are marching in resistance to the president's draconian appointments and policies that disavow established science, quell critical thinking, abrogate fact-based knowledge and threaten to roll back advancements in scientific research and education.
Thomas Jefferson would not be pleased; and his immortal words, engraved on the porticos of his memorial, sum up the […]
Pi Day: Celebrating One University's Quest to Inspire Everyone to Code — Scratching the Surface of What is Possible
Today – March 14th – marks International Pi Day – Pi (Greek letter "π") is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159…. and so on. Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point!
International Pi Day is a great time celebrate math and celebrate those who strive to introduce computer coding to all. Not just because we think coding is fun (and it is once you get the hang of it,) but because there are over 2.4 million STEM jobs waiting to be filled by young and old alike.
"If more students and workers aren't inspired to stick with STEM and coding, we will not have the millions of new workers needed [to make] our connected world […]
Huffington Post: Time for a New ISEF Sponsor to take a Shot! Science Fairs Are an Important Arrow in the STEM Education Quiver
by: Paula Golden, as seen in the Huffington Post
Opportunity is knocking for the next champion of the world's longest-running, largest, most prestigious and most inclusive high school STEM competition to step forward: the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is up for grabs.
Deftly guided by the Society for Science and the Public for seventy years, science fair systems sponsored respectively by industry giants of their era – Westinghouse (from 1942 to 1997) and Intel (from 1998- the present) – are at the epicenter of virtually every state, national and international STEM education movement. Their renowned competitions, Science Talent Search, International Science and Engineering Fair and Broadcom MASTERS help drive our urgent imperative to educate disciplined, audacious STEM-literate adults at all levels of society who will fill millions upon millions of 21st century jobs that require flexible competencies in math, science and engineering.
Broadcom MASTERS Champion Honored with Asteroid Naming
The "132005 Scottmcgregor" is not a large asteroid (it clocks in at about 2 to5 km in diameter), but it is big enough to cause similar damage as the one that is theorized to have killed off the dinosaurs about 65.5 million years ago.
Discovered by MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Near-Earth Asteroid Research program (LINEAR), former Broadcom Chief Executive Officer and President, Scott McGregor, landed naming rights to the 132005 asteroid, a rocky space body that orbits the sun.
McGregor was honored with a celestial namesake by the Broadcom Foundation, Society for Science and the Public (SSP) and the CERES Connection to recognize his role in creating the Broadcom MASTERS science and engineering competition for middle school students, a program that marked its sixth anniversary last October.
The auspicious number of the asteroid assigned to McGregor coincides with the day he became President and CEO of Broadcom –132005 […]
Huffington Post: Lost In The Fifties, Middle America Needs STEM Education & Infrastructure
By: Paula Golden, President of Broadcom Foundation
At a post-mortem forum on the 2016 U.S. election, Mexico's former president Vicente Fox had choice words for those who elected Donald Trump. Yearning for the manufacturing glory days of yesteryear, American workers were seduced by a sloganeer who promised to "Make America Great Again." But, said Fox, the world has moved on, and their jobs with it. Instead of attending community colleges to pick up critical skills and proficiencies that would have enabled them to transition into jobs of the future, American workers "went home to down a few beers."
A sardonic critique from a politician on the other side of Trump's 'great wall' designed to keep jobs in and émigrés out? Not so.
Donald Trump perpetuated the destructive myth about our nation's infallibility held by many in Middle America, especially workers in Coal Country and the Rust Belt whose family fortunes rose in the 1950's when the United States dominated manufacturing and production […]
A Woman's Path to a STEM Career is through COLLABORATION
By: Paula Golden, President of Broadcom Foundation
Chronicling the first 75 years of the Digital Revolution, Innovators author Walter Isaacson wrote, "it is teamwork, not rugged individualism that ignites groundbreaking innovation in science and technology."
The Broadcom MASTERS®, the premier national middle school competition organized by Society for Science & the Public, is a direct descendent of the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, which was founded toward the end of World War II when Isaacson's story begins. The Westinghouse Science Talent Search was created in 1942 to nurture and elevate a generation of science and engineering innovators. Baby Boomers like me remember running in from backyard play on Friday evening to catch the official announcement of the science talent search winner on our black and white television.
When it was founded in 1942, STS competition awarded a prize to the "Top […]
Broadcom MASTERS Alum Wins First Prize from EU
River Grace's Passion for Biology Reaps Continued Rewards in STEM
Perpetual curiosity and a passion for animals has propelled River Grace, 17 of Melbourne, Florida from winning the Samueli Prize at the Broadcom MASTERS in 2013 to his 1st place finish at the 2016 European Union (EU) Contest for Young Scientists last month. One of only 3 Americans invited to compete, Grace brought home a big win for the United States for his investigations of the brahminy blindsnake's central nervous system.
"I was both astounded and deeply grateful to have been selected for the honor of 1st place, and delighted to represent my nation and meet other young scientists who had a passion for knowledge, just like me – actually this reminded me a lot of the Broadcom MASTERS!" Grace said.
Grace's investigation uncovered that the blindsnake has functional eyes (no one […]
The American Dream needs a STEM Literacy Movement
"Just think, your grandchildren are going to grow up knowing a black man and a woman as their presidents," mused my daughter as we celebrated my grandson's fifth birthday in a public park on a beautiful fall day, anywhere in America.
Her words gave me pause as I prepare to make one last case for the importance of a STEM literacy movement in the United States during the 2016 election cycle. My image of President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on West Front of the Capitol next January stands in sharp relief to the yawning chasm of STEM literacy and workforce preparedness between children of privilege and underserved youth, young men and women, and children whose parents have deep roots in this country and those who perilously crossed oceans and borders to realize the American Dream.
There is a dark undercurrent beneath partisan howls of […]
UCI School of Engineering School Bestows 'Ingenuity Award' to President Paula Golden

Broadcom MASTERS "Took Me to the Next Level," Say Alumni
Just what does it mean to compete in the Broadcom MASTERS?
Paula Golden, President and Executive Director, Broadcom Foundation and Director, Community Affairs, Broadcom Corporation, asked six Broadcom MASTERS alumni from 2011-2014 to reflect on their experiences with the 2015 class. Each of the six had remarkably gone on to distinguish themselves as competitors and winners in other STEM competitions, internships at Stanford and the NASA Ames Research Center and share their STEM passions with elected officials at all levels, including President Barack Obama.
Overwhelmingly, they agreed that Broadcom MASTERS changed their lives.
"Broadcom MASTERS cemented my love of science. Everyone there encouraged me to stay in the field," said Holly Jackson, 2014 Samueli Foundation prize winner. "When I came back to school, I got to share my experience with teachers and students, which was very touching for […]
Broadcom MASTERS Alumna Wins $100,000 Grand Prize in Siemens Competition
At only 12 years old, middle schooler Maria Elena Grimmett from Jupiter, Fla., became a 2011 Broadcom MASTERS finalist, later winning the Mathematics Prize at the 2012 Broadcom MASTERS.
Fast-forward to today: Grimmett continued to research her passion for curbing water pollution (mostly from her family's dining room table) to identify a new water purification method. Her efforts culminated in a $100,000 scholarship prize from the Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology, the nation's premier research competition for high school students. Read more about Grimmett's award here.
"I was shaking on the stage," Grimmett, now 17, said of her win. "It's the most amazing feeling in the world, especially when I was put up against the other finalists. It is such an honor and has been an amazing journey."
Collaboration is Key
Grimmett was 10 when she […]
Defining a Leader: Avery Clowes Captures Inaugural Scott A. McGregor Leadership Award
Many try to define what it takes to be a leader – a recent Inc. Magazine article listed confidence, decisiveness and honesty as key traits. But, how are these qualities nurtured in young people?
Some may say becoming a leader starts with formative experience– such as the Broadcom MASTERS program.
Last month, 30 middle school finalists were chosen from all over the country and flown to Silicon Valley for a rigorous, weeklong competition that tested their mastery of STEM principles and team leadership. With challenging competitions each day coupled with team building activities throughout the week, the finalists quickly got to know each other and how to work together.
Unbeknownst to the finalists they were asked to elect a "class speaker" at the end of the competition. They were asked to elect one of their peers who demonstrated leadership qualities throughout the week. Avery Clowes, 13, from Bolton Mass. was elected […]
Tapping the Force: The Art of Making Star Wars Illuminates STEAM Careers
"May the force be with you" is the renowned salute intoned in the 20th century by a Jedi Master on May 25, 1977, when George Lucas first gathered us into his mythological realm in the Galaxy Far-Far-Away. For Star Wars fans all over the world, the phrase has special meanings – and it has personal significance for me as I push "send" to buy advanced tickets to take my grandson to see Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, which debuts in the 21st century this winter.
As a former educator-turned-STEM philanthropist for the Broadcom Foundation, I have long wished to join the conversation about supporting art alongside science, technology, engineering, and math education. In my mind, Star Wars Episode VII provides the perfect catalyst for math, science and art teachers to pull out a copy of […]
Career Panel Inspires Broadcom MASTERS to "Pursue the Unknown"

My story for The News Messenger...enjoy.
Sinkland Farms on Route 8 in Riner is holding their annual Pumpkin Festival on weekends in October and last weekend it also saw the addition of Oktoberfest. The Pumpkin Festival at Sinkland Farms has been a popular event for many years and adding an Oktoberfest dinner and celebration was a logical addition. Although the Pumpkin Festival stretches over several weekends, the Oktoberfest was only this last Friday and Saturday.
The Pumpkin festival features local vendors like Grandma Alice's Apple Butter of Blacksburg. They were making apple butter the old fashioned way in a large copper kettle over a wood fire; constantly stirring to breakdown the apples into a smooth consistency that tastes great on a hot biscuit.
The festival has pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and colors. You can even shoot smaller pumpkins out of a massive, custom built, pneumatic pumpkin cannon. For a few dollars you can aim and fire a pumpkin over one hundred yards down range.
Music was provided last Saturday by the Nostalgic But Cool Band featuring Jerry Lee VonDell on guitar. He was the former lead guitarist for the VonDells. Classic rock emanated across the field of the festival as parents and children picked out their pumpkins.
Inside the store the line for ice cream was out the door and Red Rooster Roasters of Floyd brewed coffee by the the cup. Kettle corn and other snacks were available throughout the day.
The Corn Maze was themed Gone Fishin'. It featured twelve stations that educated maze walkers on what the world would be like without corn. The maze is open on weekends until eight at night and flashlights are issued to navigate in the dark.
The Oktoberfest celebration was held in the event barn and was sold out both Friday and Saturday nights. German cuisine was served by Classic Caterers and included home made bratwurst, beer braised chicken, braised red cabbage and apples, potato cakes, hot potato salad and Black Forest chocolate chip cookies, to name just part of the buffet.
The Sauerkraut band, led by Director Ed Schwartz, provided entertainment for the evening. The event barn was turned into a festhall as the brass sounds of traditional Bavarian music compelled diners to sway in their seats, dance to polka music, and toast to the words of Ein Prosit Der Gemutlichkeit. Schwartz served in the army in Bavaria and for twenty-five years has kept the Sauerkraut band playing and yodeling around Virginia.
Beer was available to those of age and was served by volunteers from the Intellectual Disabilities Agency of the New River Valley, with all proceeds going to the agency. The IDA, a United Way partner agency, provides social, recreational, educational activities and advocacy for individuals with intellectual disabilities in the New River Valley.
The weather completely cooperated for both events with lots of sunshine and a little cool in the evening. The Pumpkin Festival happens every weekend in October and Oktoberfest will most likely be back again next year.

What should I look for in hiring a contractor for building a home or remodeling an existing one?
- Reputation and references. In addition to providing a list of references from clients, insist that your contractor provide you a list of references from both tradesmen and suppliers.
- Check business cards for local and current information. Check contractor's address, phone numbers, website, etc. Make sure all information is current and up to date. This will help confirm that your contractor is honest, local and has staying power.
- Insist on written bids, detailed descriptions of work to be performed and contracts. Having it all in writing and signed by both contractor and homeowner will avoid any confusion throughout the project to be performed.
- Contractor should offer a "Release of Liens" form upon completion of a project. This will help protect you if any bills to suppliers or tradesmen go unpaid.
What things should I be concerned about?
- Be mindful of contractor's vehicles and equipment. Functioning, clean, maintained vehicles and equipment can indicate that a contractor is fiscally secure and pays attention to detail.
- Use extreme caution if a contractor wants cash up front instead of a check or if the down payment seems excessive. Insist on a detailed description of how draws and payment schedules work and never give a contractor cash or employ one who insists on receiving cash.
- A contractor who is unable or unwilling to explain to you types of materials, equipment and tradesmen to be used on your project and why. Be sure the contractor has a thorough understanding of your needs and what materials and tradesmen will be required to achieve your goals.
What are some extreme red flags?
- A contractor that cannot provide you with evidence of an active license. Georgia now requires that all contractors be licensed.
- Any contractor who is unable or unwilling to provide a building permit. This sets the stage for a potentially high degree of negligence by both contractor and tradesmen.
- Any contractor who is not sensitive to the covenants and requirements of your local HOA, POA or condo association.

In 1894, a cab driver named Harry Norton, living on Old North Street, Red Lion Square, in Holborn, was summonsed at the Clerkenwell court. A complaint had been made against him by the Holborn Board of Guardians, who believed that he had obtained parish relief by making a false statement about his circumstances.
Harry had obtained an order to remove a woman, who he claimed to be his wife, to the infirmary, stating that she was in the final stages of consumption (tuberculosis). The woman had certainly been dying – she was admitted to the hospital on 4 November, and died there three days later – but was she really his wife?
She had been admitted to the hospital under the name of Clarice Norton, and her death certificate (which listed bronchitis rather than tuberculosis as the cause of death) was duly made out in this name, too. However, what should have been a straightforward – if sad – case became more complicated when a Mr Lomax suddenly turned up at the hospital claiming that he, not Harry Norton, was the dead woman's husband.
John Charles 'JC' Lomax stated that his wife had left him and their marriage some time previously, and had gone to live with Harry Norton. Unlike the cabbie, Mr Lomax was a 'man of considerable means', and had had a fortune of £40,000 when he married (over £2 million today), largely thanks to his wealthy father, who had died in April 1889, less than a year before his son married.
His wife had been an actress and dancer, but had a taste for extravagance. She also may have obfuscated her origins; on the 1891 census, she claimed to have been born in San Francisco, and on her marriage certificate that her father was, like her husband's late father, a gentleman; but The Straw Plaiters website believes she may have been born in London as the more prosaically named Clara, the daughter of a printer, who had been living in a multi-occupancy house in Bloomsbury at the time of her marriage.
JC had given her half his money, together with another £4,000 in pin money (over £200,000 in today's money), but she proceeded to 'squander' this, and the rest of his fortune. Once the cash was gone, she left her husband, and went to live with a man who had never had a fortune to lose. Meanwhile, JC became bankrupt on September 1893, his wealth having disappeared within three years of marrying.
Mrs Lomax got her comeuppance when she became ill. Harry Norton had no money for a doctor or hospital care, and so had to approach his parish for help – pretending that he was her husband, not just her lover. Mrs Lomax, meanwhile, apparently begged Harry not to tell her husband that she was sick. However, after she had died, Harry seems to have had an attack of guilt, and went to the Guardians to tell them the truth about his relationship. They promptly went to the magistrates.
In court, the judge told Harry it was a serious offence to lie in order to get medical help from the parish, but the circumstances had to be taken into consideration. He fined Harry two shillings and costs, and sent him on his way. Clarice's living for the moment had resulted in one husband ending up a bankrupt – and a second 'husband' fined by a court. She herself ended up dead in a workhouse infirmary at the tender age of 24.
NOTE: In light of JC Lomax's statement, Clarice Norton's death certificate was amended to Clarice Lomax – but her husband never seems to have got back to anything like his former status, dying in 1933 after a number of years living off a small pension and with few possessions.
Many thanks are due to The Straw Plaiters: Luton Town Football Club in the Victorian Era website, which has a great account of JC Lomax's life (and a photo of the man himself). The story of Harry Norton's court case was found in the Sheffield Evening Telegraph, 28 Nov 1894 and The Times, 29 Nov 1894. Other sources are the 1891 census for 5 Cambridge Park Gardens, Richmond Road, Twickenham, on Ancestry; the marriage of John Charles Lomax and Clarice Tuson, Mar 1890, St Giles (vol 1b page 645); and the death of Clarice Lomax, Dec 1894, Islington (vol 1b page 129).

Follow us!
From our beginnings in the basement of Grace Cathedral, local parishes and congregations have been crucial in helping us provide services to the most vulnerable in our community. Below are ways your congregation or faith-based group can become involved:
Personal Hygiene Drive
Our shelter residents are always in need of toothbrushes, soap, socks, shampoo and other toiletries. Many of our clients enter the shelters without any of these basic hygiene items. Host a drive in your congregation for one or all of these items.
Bereavement Ceremonies
Help residents cope with the loss of a neighbor by facilitating small memorial ceremonies at our various sites. Ceremonies are informal and non-denominational in nature. Email email@example.com to be added to our on-call list.
Serve a Shelter Meal with your Parishioners
Daily meal service opportunities are available for breakfast and dinner. We are always in need of small groups of 3 - 7 people. If you are available to recruit some fellow parishioners from your congregation on a regular or semi-regular basis, please contact email@example.com to set up an opportunity.
Monthly Senior Center Celebration
Once a month, our Canon Kip Senior Center celebrates all their seniors who have a birthday that month. Volunteers help make birthday cards and serve lunch. The celebration takes place the 3rd Saturday of every month from 10:30 am - 12:30 pm.
Invite Us to Speak
Interested in learning more about homelessness in San Francisco? Invite us to speak during a service or coffee hour. Educate your congregation on the solutions to homelessness in San Francisco and offer them ways to get involved.
Holiday Volunteer Groups
Spread holiday cheer throughout our eleven sites by serving meals, singing carols, or hosting a giving tree. The holiday season can be a challenging time for our residents, and sharing your time and friendship can make all the difference.

Board chairperson, Anola Laing, said the antiquities collection outgrew the CPR Depot that had served as the museum, and the dream of expanding began to materialize around 2001.
"We should have a new bigger building to house our artifacts. Before we could build, we needed to raise the money. Volunteers organized bridge parties and coffee parties. Others sold baking at the farmer's market over two or three years … Rae Trimble worked so hard at accessing government grant money," said Laing.
Eventually, they managed to raise $300,000 from individuals, businesses and service clubs in the community.
"The Town of Claresholm provided the site while the M.D. of Willow Creek donated their crew and equipment for the site preparation and we were in business."
Laing said under the direction of Rae Trimble, past board chair, grant money was accessed from the Lethbridge Foundation, the provincial and federal governments, and on Sept. 11, 2010, the museum opened its second building.
"I think the final cost of the building was just under $1 million."
During the past year, new exhibits have been built to portray the history of Claresholm, said Laing.
"On display now is the first motorized school bus in all of Canada. Two of Claresholm's early fire engines and a John Deere Waterloo Boy tractor are also indoors. We are a work in progress, as we strive to inspire curiosity and wonder telling the story of how our grandparents lived their lives."
For example, said Laing, 70 years ago the airport at Claresholm was opened to train pilots for the Second World War under the British Commonwealth Air Training Program. To commemorate that training event, museum staff prepared a display featuring war brides along with brides through the decades.
As to future plans for the museum, Laing said an executive director has now been hired, so the museum will be open year round. Trisha Carleton, originally from Alberta, but currently residing in Victoria, will soon take up the new post.
In addition, said Laing, plans are in the works to build a platform between the depot and CPR rails which lay directly east of the museum, as the museum's collection includes a speeder car that can be placed on the tracks.
"We're also trying to build up a base of volunteers interested in building Claresholm's history and telling stories, that will be there in the summer during the afternoon."
A high tech feature that will soon be in place, said Laing, is having the museum serve as a free Wi-Fi hot spot, so visitors passing through town can check their email, search for local restaurants and lodging, and so on. The WiFi connection is complements of Claresholm's Economic Development Committee and the local Chamber of Commerce.
As to special events this summer, Laing said they're looking forward to hosting an old fashioned tea on the lawn during Claresholm Fair Days Aug. 13.
In describing the museum's collection, Bob Lacelle, Alberta Tourism employee and museum guide, said it covers everything from the area's first inhabitants, the natives, through to development of its farming and ranching history, complete with a log cabin and Alberta's first school house. There are also artifacts that tell the story of settlement in the region by families from Devil's Lake, North Dakota, and a number of other artifacts depicting the local airport's role as a flight training school.
"Come to learn the history of the town. It's a real treasure, with antiques from the 1800s," said Lacelle.
The museum is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. seven days a week until the Thanksgiving weekend, at which time museum hours will change.
For more information, phone 403-625-313. Admission is by donation.

Classic Days Schloss Dyck // Germany's Own Goodwood Festival
Once again the kind people of Ford invited me to join them for a car related event. So I got up quite early for a Sunday to catch the first flight to Cologne. At the airport I was picked up in one of the youngest classics Ford Europe has to offer, a Sierra XR4i. This ride was absolutely mind blowing, I've never thought about these cars at all. Believe me, they're really great fun. (I'm afraid I'm getting more and more attracted by cars of the 80s.)
Due to my flight I missed an official visit at the Ford Classic workshop, so we went straight on to the Classic Days at Schloss Dyck, a kind of a German version of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. This is like a time travel and even though I'm not a big fan of classic cars in perfect condition, this event is pretty good fun and definitely worth a visit. There's a lot of money around at the perfectly trimmed meadows of Schloss Dyck, which means you can smell, hear, see and even touch a lot of damn rare cars, that cost a fortune.
Having the chance to enjoy the raw and unfiltered noise of Ford's famous Capri RS racecar, driven by Jochen Mass himself, or the original Zakspeed Ford Capri Turbo "Würth" is a pleasure for every petrolhead. So I spend a lot of time at the paddocks.
Besides these racecars of the 70s and 80s there were insane pre-war monsters as well. A Bentley, powered by a Napier airplane engine was spitting fire all the way down the racetrack. Classic and brand new Lancia Stratos were screaming through the alleyway, Toyota brought a nice selection of Japanese engineering masterpieces and of course uncountable Porsche models were pushed hard on this narrow roundtrack.
Of course there are more or less daily driven classics around as well. The huge parking lot was crowded with almost every car you can imagine. Only a few really caught my attention. Like a custom made Rolls Royce Estate with a decent pink paintjob or this amazing Baja Bug rolling on Fuchs wheels.
Before I was heading back to the airport I got my private little chance to visit the Ford Classic workshop. Hell yes, I'd spend a lot of time at this work. I really have to go there once more to take a closer look at this place. What a great way to spend a Sunday, thank you Ford, for this invitation. For much more photos just take a look at the full Flickr set.

CalcTape 5.3Free
Old versionsSee all
CalcTape can help you make different kinds of calculations. In many respects, it's used like a standard pocket calculator; however, it leaves written traces of the arithmetic process just as an old desktop calculator. The application has a nice modern ribbon-based interface. In this respect, the two most important elements of the main window are the numeric pad and the text editor. Besides, you can edit or compare various documents simultaneously in different tabs. There are also two modes: Calculator and Text Editor.
In my opinion, the most useful feature of this application is that it allows adding a context to your calculations. For example, you can begin writing a document and, while you do it, you have the possibility to insert numbers and relate them using mathematical operators. This way, the program automatically calculates the results of the operations you have created, but much better than that, if you change any of the numbers that form part of an operation, the depending figures will also be updated. Another advantage of this tool is the possibility of defining variables using text, numbers and formulas. Moreover, you can use parentheses as well as trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions.
All in all, CalcTape certainly helps you make sense of your calculations better than, let's say, a standard spreadsheet. Moreover, it's easier to use. However, this calculator doesn't allow using complex functions, such as those used in statistics. Besides, it doesn't support exporting the documents to any format other than its built-in file type.
Review summary
- It has a nice interface
- It leaves a written trace of your calculations
- It's easy to use
- It allows adding context to your calculations
- It updates results automatically
- It supports defining variables
- It doesn't allow using some complex functions
- It doesn't support exporting the documents to any format other than its built-in format

As you probably know by now I'm subscribed to the Look Fantastic beauty box. Each month they send £50 pounds worth of beauty products for as little as £13 a month! I looove it!
This month is 'The Wanderlust Edition' and can i just say the box itself is crazy beautiful, The colours are gorgeous when I opened it up I can't even explain how pretty it is! Its still on my dressing table looking all pretty and I think I'm going to keep it on display. Every month, aswell as the beauty products you also get the current months issue of Elle magazine which is the only magazine I used to buy when I was younger and you also get a cute little beauty magazine with tips and tricks and more detail about the products, These are the products that I got inside...
One of the leading luxury haircare brands I am dying to try! Since sporting a shorter do and getting rid of my hair extensions I've been really trying to get decent air products, They had 2 or 3 shampoos you could get one was the elixir which I'm guessing is nourishing, I got the bodifying which I'm super happy about I love big but short beachy hair, I'm really excited to try this.
Sticking to the wanderlust them are these suitcase friendly radiance pads, that exfoliate, tone & brighten, they contain a blend of lactic and glycolic acids to refresh and revitalise tired complexions. I love anything like this especially for when I'm travelling, I'll be packing these in my suitcase for my little getaway trip next week.
I love anything moisturising I have super dry skin. This is a hydrating face cream which is enriched with Neroli Oil, and Bergamot Oil, to brighten the skin, reduce shine, and even your complexion, so your left with a natural beautiful glow.
This is a hydrating super high shine lip gloss I have to say I can imagine it being super hydrating I just personally don't like using lip gloss I find it super tacky and sticky so yeah its just down to personal preference but I'm always 100% honest with my readers I just don't think I'll be using this one.
Ooooh I thought this was an eyeshadow! Its a loose highlighter which I am so excited to try I'm obsessed with highlight at the moment. It looks gorgeous and I've used liquid highlighter before and powder but never a loose powder so hopefully this one looks amazing!
I do love a good face mist this contains, lemon, rosewood and sandalwood to refresh and revive skin, you can use it over makeup to help fix it or you can just use it to cool down on these hot days lately! I've already used it and its such a nice mist its super lightweight and refreshing.
I honestly love this box and as I said I think I'm going to keep this months out on display its sooooo pretty! Let me know if you get any sub boxes I'd love to get more! Don't forget you can follow me on bloglovin or any of my social media pages by clicking the icons in the top left corner of the screen :)

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 64652
Registration, Entitlement, and Initial Update Should Be Done In One Step
Last modified: 2007-10-23 22:04:38 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
Description of problem:
The current rhn_register wizard is far too specific in functionality and doesn't
do enough to help the new user actually use Red Hat Network. All the wizard does
is upload system configuration data to RHN. There is no clear linkage to
obtaining system updates from RHN. The user thinks it is a registration process,
something like registering a book or registering software. RHN_REGISTER must add
functionality in order to benefit RHN and the user.
When a user first installs Red Hat Linux (in any version supported by Red Hat
Network), a Red Hat Network wizard should greet the user immediately upon the
first successful system boot following installation. The wizard should perform
the functions of rhn_register, web-based entitlement, and a first (initial)
update of the system all in one seamless step. Proposed wizard should be
text-based but go into a gui if Gnome or KDE is running. It should automatically
entitle the user to an entitlement for a period, and it should query for updates
for the newly installed system and apply them that first time after
installation. The user should be led by the hand, easily, into the products
offered by Red Hat Network.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.User installs Red Hat Linux.
2.User removes installation media and boot diskette from system and reboots into
Red Hat Linux for the first time.
3.User is presented with a login screen or login prompt.
4.User logs in.
5.User is presented with an empty desktop.
6.User now most likely does not know what to do next. The desktop environment,
that first time, is very much like a blank sheet of paper.
Actual Results: If I were a new user, I wouldn't know, as of step 6, that the
Red Hat Network can help me by updating my system. I have no prompt window that
comes up to remind me and -- much more importantly -- guide me.
Expected Results: At step 6, a new window should have come up or a text-based
script should have started. This would be a revised RHN_REGISTER wizard. It will
say, "I'm here to help you get your system updated through the Red Hat
Network..." and then it should guide the user, step by step, through the entire
process. If the user has not configured an internet connection yet, help the
user do this, then return to the wizard. There is a lot you can do at this point
with a little creativity.
Additional info:
this is more into alikins' realm
This was inmplemented in RH 8.0. Thanks for the suggestion!

Now You See Me 2 – Review
Now You See Me 2 Review:
I must admit, I was quite surprised it was that time of the year when I had to witness yet another magic show from The Four Horsemen. So after having my cup half empty with the first movie along with the trailers of this one which seemed oddly colorful, I lowered my expectations. Surprisingly, I was left with an averagely satisfied viewing.
The 'four-io' are back in this magical heist of a sequel taking center stage yet again, although interrupted this time around. They find themselves on more than just their shows, but as assistants to someone else's illusion game, which appears to be far more superior. This leads them on the other side of the globe and into the pockets of Shanghai, with them playing their opponent's games.
First things first, I adore enthralling movies with abracadabra moments as such. The Illusionist, The Prestige, and the Harry Potter franchise, all of which have proved that the genre can get much better in the years to come. Although with a disappointing entrance of this sequel's prequel, which admittedly, had its varied and satisfying surprises, was not enough for me to widen my eyes for this one. Like every sequel (Dawn of Justice), it tries to outdo its predecessor whilst righting its wrongs.
Unfortunately, there's only so much you can do with your hands not tied to a second film, as you create more problems while trying not to, some of which were foreseeable.
Getting to probably the "white magic" side of things, a tiny round of applause is in order. While some may disagree or would arrive at the conclusion to be in two minds about the following subjective verdict, the story shone through the debacle mess. Take a second to visualize this, when putting it in such a way, sequels flip their script books on a literal level and allow their characters to dangle from the edges to get back into their allocated written slots. Flipping the script on their characters and giving them a rockier path is what Now You See Me 2 does, who have its chips all in with a full house, although sadly not their card tricks.
Yes, that swiveling card stunt between the horsemen is one you would have probably caught from the trailers. While it might have been the highlight of the film, that's saying very little. You have seen it all: guessing numbers right, disappearing vaults and fellow comrades coming back to life, all of which have had wonderfully crafted explanations. What Chu fails to understand when taking the reigns is that there is a fine line between CGI and engaging trickery. More often that you would expect, audiences all over will be bedazzled by the effects of what the horsemen have to offer with very little backed up explanations to what they just did, almost as if God had a hand in their illusions. Apparently they were not worth explaining, so don't worry if you find yourself staring at the screen, blanking out for a few seconds.
With a glowing need to not only grow its untimely and nonsensical trickery to the eye, it sneaks in well-timed action segments that were not only delightfully fun but hilariously ridiculous. Speaking of hilariousness, a nod at the movie's attempts at being funny is due, all of which were almost annoyingly frustrating to witness.
The studio house Summit Entertainment did get another thing right: rather than recasting Isla Fisher's character from the first film, they made a new addition to its prized Robin Hoods, that being Lizzy Caplan's Lula. While they may have gone about it the right way, they chose poorly. Again, with an untimely placement of an explanation as to why she quit amidst a magic trick underway, you will probably find yourself looking at the person beside you for a positive nod as to what just happened. Alas, the movie tries to be overly smart with its mysterious plot twists that just might not be able to collect your care in the world for the characters after a horrible end to their final act.
Bringing more stars than freshness to its overall act tells you one thing: they are trying to save its drowning ship. The filmmakers are well aware of its potential and decided to bring on board retired wizard Daniel Radcliffe to swish and flick his wand for this abysmal magic show. A bold move, as he proves himself along the way, leaving room to hope for more great additions to the threequel. Although no, the rest of the cast was not as spellbinding. You have to understand this: with a movie that does not take itself too seriously, it would be quite demanding to give the same treatment to its cast. You are watching this flick in order to be fascinated and enticed with the glamor of great finesse and that's what you will get from them, nothing more, maybe less.
Now You See Me 2 fails to dazzle but compensates with a fun roller coaster of events that consistently spiral over and over for the good of the film. Its acts are more often than not, left halfway through with their audiences and us more confused than the showstoppers themselves.
With Jon M. Chu being a master of deception rather than of enchantment, he proves yet again he can't bring about heart to his movies. Harsh as it may sound, the movies brought to you by Jonny boy himself ranging from Step Up 2 & 3 to diving into a war with G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and now blowing things up with a wand that does not fit his hand with this one, there's only so much you can expect from him. Although usually when a director steps out of his experimental boundaries, they approach things differently the third time. So here's to hoping for more for the third installment. While it may not sound too appealing to you folks reading out there, it is a fun-for-kicks film, with flashier elements, making the movie pop louder than you could've ever expected. "If you think you've seen it all, take another look" is what Morgan Freeman said. Please don't take his word for it. Unless you're a fan?

MX2, Assen, THE NETHERLANDS, 10 Septembre 2017
Kawasaki riders in the FIM World MX2 Motocross Championship had a difficult day at the demanding wet sand track built in front of the main grandstand at the famous road racing facility of Assen.
It was a learning experience for Darian Sanayei of Monster Energy DRT Kawasaki as well as Morgan Lesiardo and Stephen Rubini of the Monster Energy Kawasaki MX2 Racing Team as track conditions were alien to anything any of the youngsters had previously encountered during their careers. Sanayei advanced to eighteenth at the finish of the second GP moto after withdrawing from twenty-third in the opening race; he remains twelfth in the series standings. Lesiardo had finished eighteenth in the opening moto after a solid ride from just outside the points-scoring positions but in the second encounter he was forced to pull out of twenty-third after his exhaust was damaged. Rubini moved forward from twenty-fifth to twenty-second in the first moto and had advanced from twenty-sixth to twenty-third in race two until he crashed over the handlebars mid-moto and withdrew with a sore back. Darian Sanayei: "It was difficult coming to a track like this one; after a lot of rain the track was rough on Saturday I was quite a way off the pace, so I just focused on being prepared for race day. In the first moto I was way back at the start but I was slowly moving forward and had reached twenty-third until I had to retire. In the second race I had a better start and was able to finish eighteenth. My speed was not so bad, but I never rode on a track like this before; I need to put time and hours in muddy sand during the winter time to improve my riding in these conditions." Morgan Lesiardo: "I had a bad start in the first moto but found a good rhythm to recover to eighteenth. My start was again not so good in the second race but I didn't give up and rode some consistent laps to come close to the points until I had to retire after the pipe was damaged. Now I'm focused on the final round of the EMX250, and will spend the week training in Italy to prepare for this last race on hard pack." Stephen Rubini: "This was definitively my toughest weekend of the season with a couple of very bad starts. In the first race I finished close to the points, but then in the second one I had a big crash and went over the bars; when I landed on the ground I had a lot of pain in my upper leg. Nothing is broken but a muscle is sore and we'll see later this week how I feel."

text: The project featured is a loft space in Bermondsey where the client asked us to completely re-design & maximise the overall space with a very contemporary masculine urban feel. We wanted to highlight the Architectural features of the double-height brick & beam interior as well as blend classic materials such as walnut & slate flooring with ultra modern LED lighting & luxurious glass finishes. We opened up the kitchen, knocking down the wall between the tiny galley kitchen & the dining area & fitted a new kitchen with breakfast bar & granite worktops set onto wenge finished units with ruby red splash backs & a sculptural extractor set onto the wall.

Solar Thermal Installation
Request a free quote >
GenFIT solar thermal systems typically take 1-2 days to install.
The solar collectors can be mounted on/in a pitched roof, on a flat roof or at ground level. Panels can even be mounted on a South-facing wall.
Highly insulated pipes are then routed from the collector(s) to either the existing, or new, hot water cylinder. Cold water from the bottom of the insulated hot water cylinder is then pumped thorough the solar collector where it is heated before flowing into the top of the hot water store. PV powered pumps are available with some GenFIT solar thermal systems.
Some combi boilers, which can accept pre-heated water, can also be used in conjunction with a solar water heating system.
Commercial solar thermal systems comprise a thermal store that preheats the cold water supply to an existing, or new, hot water system. Thermal stores minimize the stored water which goes to the taps making them ideal solutions for sites with large volumes of hot water consumption such as schools, care homes or hotels.

Gyeon Q²M Polish
There are many excellent ranges of cutting compounds and polishes available on the market these days, so for any new range of polishing products to captivate us they really do have to offer a stand out level of performance. The new line up of Q²M Compound, Q²M Polish and Q² Primer from Gyeon does exactly that. Rather than go down the white-labelling route, Gyeon have instead invested time and effort in developing and manufacturing their own formulas. This approach, while costly, has enabled them to produce a range of polishing products that break new ground. Gyeon Q²M Polish does everything other market leading polishes do, except it cuts faster, generates far less dust (almost none), buffs off more easily, leaves paint feeling smoother and finishes down incredibly well (it's pretty special in this respect). We guarantee you'll love it!
Gyeon Q²M Polish is a fast-acting abrasive paste designed to permanently remove minor paint defects such as such as faint swirl marks, polishing holograms and wash marring from original and refinished paintwork, and produce a perfectly refined high gloss finish ready for the addition of protection. Comprising a unique blend of fine precision-milled Japanese diminishing abrasives suspended in a water-based emulsion, Gyeon Q²M Polish offers significant advantages over rival polishes in terms of extremely low dust production, incomparable finish quality and reduced working time. Free of silicones and fillers, it works best with medium foam polishing pads and performs equally well whether used in conjunction with free-spinning or gear-driven dual action polishers, making it ideal for both home and professional use.
You should use Gyeon Q²M Polish with a machine. For best results using a dual action polisher, Gyeon Q² Polish should be applied to freshly decontaminated and compounded paint using either a Lake Country Hydro-Tech Polishing Pad or a SCHOLL Concepts Spider Polishing Pad (if less cut is desired a Lake Country Hydro-Tech Finishing Pad is also a great choice). Only 3-4 pea-sized drops of product are required per 18" x 18" area, and these should be worked in thoroughly at 4000-5000 orbits per minute (speed 4-5 on most dual action polishers) until only a hint of oily residue remains. This residue should then be buffed off carefully using a PB Super Buffing Towel.

Beauty Tuesday came about because a lot of PR agenices started getting in touch with us about the fantastic brands they work with. We quickly realised there were so, so many cosmetic and skincare brands on the market that we didn't know about, but should. So we started to profile new brands in a weekly beauty series on the blog – Beauty Tuesday!
Grown Alchemist is one of those brands that I'd never heard of before a lovely PR got in touch about the brand and sent us some samples. And aren't I glad she did because I wouldn't have come across this beautiful skincare brand otherwise. Grown Alchemist was founded by brothers Keston and Jeremy Muijs who share a zealous passion for the power of natural-organic alchemy. Because of this passion, they developed Grown Alchemist on the concept of using only healthy scientifically advanced cell-communicating ingredients such as Neuro-Peptides, Tetra-Peptides, Tocotrienols and advanced hydration actives. Over time, they created a new generation of healthy formulations that represent the latest international advancements in natural cosmeceutical skincare derived from active, plant-based ingredients that are certified by the ACO (Australian Certified Organic).
While all of this scientific talk is quite impressive, Grown Alchemist also do the simple things right. The packaging is simply to-die-for, with shiny black bottles, tubes and tubs made from glass and hardened premium PET plastic, one of the world's most recyclable materials, to ensure the product remains as healthy and powerful as possible. While the range is aesthetically pleasing, it's also informational as each product is covered in white writing that details the product description, instructions and ingredients. And, they come in the perfect sizes too so you can see the value for money immediately AND the price point is more than reasonable for good-quality, organic skincare products.
The product range includes hand creams, moisturisers, soothing body lotions, lip balms, body exfoliants, hand wash, repair cream, eye balm, hand sanitiser and more. There's also quite a few Christmas gift sets available now for the festive season, so snap one of them up to make your Christmas shopping a breeze. Grown Alchemist is available in David Jones and Myer, as well as selected Spa & Beauty Salons and Pharmacies around Australia. You can also jump online to www.grownalchemist.com to browse the product range and make a purchase from the comfort of your own home. Do you know a great brand or product that we should profile for Beauty Tuesday? Or perhaps you have a beauty question that you'd love to ask us? You can email us anytime at firstname.lastname@example.com. Speak soon!
