All kids love to be outside, and most kids aren't outside nearly enough. I mean honestly, if you keep kids inside you're just asking for trouble. If they are going crazy "jumping off the walls" as we tend to say….well then take them where there aren't any walls! There are all sorts of studies out there now that reference why it's important to get kids outside. Since the time that kids started spending less and less time outside and more time in front of some sort of electronic device there has been a rise in sensory issues, attention deficit, and childhood obesity.
For over a year now we've been participating in an outdoor discovery program that we absolutely love. Parents, alongside their preschoolers, hear a story having to do with something about nature (season specific), and then you take a hike with them looking for what they referenced in the story. Yesterday they were focused on water. How does water effect nature? How does water play into the life of the animals and insects? What is evaporation? They end with a craft related to the topic of the day that they take home. It's always fun, and it's one of his favorite activities. I'm amazed by these little 4 year olds and what they are able to learn in these programs.
Programs like this are invaluable. Kids should feel, hear, see, and understand the changes that are happening around them each season. Learning about nature from a book or on a television show isn't the same. With hands on learning they start to show an interest in science and nature. Being outdoors teaches children to observe what's around them, and ask the questions that curious children have asked for ages like, "why do bugs go under the logs"? , or "what happens to animals in winter, are they cold"?, and "can I touch that bug, it's so cool looking"?. We want our children to grow into adults that care about the physical world around them. In order to do that, they need to have a basic understanding of it.
If you don't have a program like this one near you – create one of your own. Take your kids on a hike, or go out into the backyard. Don't have a backyard? Find a park. Go to the library, check out a book about something in nature that intrigues your child, and get outside with your kid. Look around in a way you haven't in a long time. Discover nature all over again with your child.
After his discovery class yesterday we went to a local beach. It's far too soon for the water to be warm, but in his rain boots my son was knee high in the water looking for fish, and trying to create a "fish trap" so he could "check them all out". His curiosity of the world around him is super refreshing, and I want to continue to encourage it.
Go out and play! Discover spring and all of the other seasons all over again and share with us what you find or what really gets your child excited. And remember – it's good for you, too!
xoxo – Jeannine

The Hind Bhartiyam Foundation (HBF) an institution, based in Delhi shares and expresses innovative ideas and positive thoughts set up with the collaborative efforts of India's best minds coming from myriad walks of life. The dedicated team comprises writers, journalists, poets, artists, technocrats, security experts, diplomats, industrialists, advocates, doctors and philanthropists under the aegis of many prominent members who have contributed a great deal to strengthening the country, Bharat.
The objective of HBF is to become a center of excellence to invite novel and creative ideas and thoughts that can lead to a stronger, secure and prosperous India playing its destined and defined role on a global dais.
HBF is a repository of all information that assimilates and promotes quality research into varied fields concerning Bharat Nirman through a constructive and healthy dialogue and open debates. Its sincere endeavors shall be to bring together the best brains in India to emphasize and resolve vital national and international issues; promote initiatives that further the cause of peace and global harmony; monitor social, economic and political trends that have a bearing on India's unity and integrity; analyze the causes for social and ethnic unrest and conflicts leading to extremism and offer policy alternatives.
Hind Bhartiyam Foundation is We AllInnovativea VoiceMovement
The prevailing scenario is that the social media is the voice of a commoner, the aam aadmi. The voice that more often than not either falls silent or gets muffled needs to be heard at this very point in time. This unique format of communication going viral in a jiffy aims at bringing together the people who lie unattended to and scattered; this connects them with their voices as one. It is proposed that we take a leaf out of E M Forster's works, "only connect" to bring together people who freely share a broad liberal outlook and commitment to floating around an idea with intent to support the desired but common objectives and contribute to the very idea of being India and we pledge to take up the cudgels against negative forces that pose a threat to country and her countrymen.A social media platform using a variety of internet channels propagates a Message of Hope for Liberal India in true sense of the word. This is deemed possible by fostering and endorsing convergent attitudes rather than allowing outsiders to threaten the secular fabric of India that does us proud.
Hind bhartiyam foundation
is the call of the hour.
Hind bhartiyam foundation
is a unity in diversity.
Hind bhartiyam foundation

Top 3 Inexpensive USB Audio Interfaces
Roland involves in the development, manufacture and sale of electronic musical instruments including keyboards and synthesizers, guitar products, electronic percussion kits, digital recording equipment, amplifiers and audio processing devices. Besides brighter LEDs and an output level boost, another key addition to the S4 MK2 over the original is compatibility with NI's Traktor DJ iPad mixing software. Microsoft plans to have its Project Natal motion-capture game controller available for sale in time for the holiday season.
Introducing djay 2 - the next generation of the world's best-selling iOS DJ software and winner of the Apple Design Award has been redesigned from the ground up. Weather (rain) sensors connected to irrigation controllers have proven to be the most accurate controller systems so far, according to a study conducted by the University of Texas. No compromise - Hercules P32 DJ represents the optimization of 2 worlds of DJing in a single unique controller.
Both controllers come with the full Traktor Pro 2 software, making them professional solutions straightaway. MIDI messages can be sent to the Block to light Native Instruments Maschine up the buttons for an interactive performance. BIG UPDATE - The VP of Vestax Corporation just showed up at DJ Techtools blog and confirmed that it exists! At the heart of the KAOSS DJ is a great-feeling crossfader and two highly-responsive touch platters.
Just because you're looking at a scratching controller", it doesn't mean it's really any good at it. Lower-end controllers often don't have the same quality of jog wheels that will be desired when scratching. A Novation controller will generally offer full sized keys and continuous rotary knobs that allow the user to customise and control the patch parameters of their software with ease; this along with assignable knobs and sliders makes USB Novation controllers hold their own against any of the other popular USB controller brands. The VCI-300 is a dedicated USB MIDI controller for the included Serato DJ software.
But this Logitech F310 is specially designed for playing all type of games on ,it is one of the cheapest ever Gaming controllers ever designed for PC with only a price of $19 in has 10 programmable buttons which can be works with Windows Vista,Windows XP and also even on Windows 7,8. This makes it possible for one central computer or instrument to control every other device connected to it. The devices are connected via MIDI cables.
Transmitting a single 14-bit MIDI message (i.e. pressing one button) over a USB 1.1 cable creates around 1 microsecond of delay... and there's 1000 microseconds in one millisecond. It can be thought of as a wearable MIDI controller, DeMay said, referring to the music synthesizers found in recording studios that let producers combine tracks, tweak vocals and adjust tempos.
We need a MIDI Controller that emulates at least two decks - complete with transport controls (play/pause, cue buttons), pitch faders, etc. We all know the iconic image of the DJ touching and moving the records, stylus, and mixer to control the sound. The next generation of the award-winning digital vinyl system is easier to use than ever, and boasts incredible connectivity via the included the Traktor Audio 10. There's a direct monitor option, and of course there's a MIDI in and out for your controller or keyboard.

|Learning Outcomes
|Course Outcomes
|Accurately identifies and interprets evidence.
|The first week of class, the students were divided into small groups and given a different website to evaluate. Each group's task was to develop criteria to determine the credibility of internet information sources on elections.
|Alternative Consideration
|Considers major alternative points of view.
|The instructor chose politically charged topics for the students to research, such as gender issues, thus encouraging discussion and examination of alternative points of view.
|Accurate Conclusions
|Draws warranted, judicious, non-fallacious conclusions.
|By doing the research in their assigned area, generating initial hypotheses based on this research, and reexamining the hypotheses in light of the election results, they verified the accuracy of their conclusions.
|Justifies key results and procedures, and explains assumptions and reasons.
|During the website evaluation, the students developed and examined the criteria for evaluating research, thus justifying their research procedure. As they revisited their previous work in the written assignment, they underwent a reasoned process to accurately justify their conclusions.
Source: Adapted from the California Academic Press's Holistic Critical Thinking Scoring Rubric (HCTSR).
|Learning Outcomes
|Course Outcomes
|Rhetorical Knowledge
|Focuses on a clear rhetorical purpose and responds appropriately to the needs of varied audiences and situations.
|Each student completed not only an individual writing assignment, but also a team writing assignment. In addition, each team wrote a script for their five-minute streaming internet reports. This allowed the students to respond appropriately to the needs of varied audiences and situations. Each writing assignment also had a clearly described purpose.
|Critical Analysis
|Develops, examines, situates, and communicates a reasoned perspective clearly to others.
|The first week of class two lectures laid the groundwork for students to begin to critically evaluate not only their information sources, but also the content of their research sources. Working with their instructor and graduate research assistant, the students then generated reasoned hypotheses based on this initial exploration of their assigned subject area.
|Composing Processes
|Understands writing as a recursive process that involves drafting, re-thinking, editing, reconceptualizing.
|After the students developed and researched their team hypotheses, created their website, and wrote a team script for their streaming video reports, they completed their individual writing assignments. The individual writing assignment required the students to revisit their previous work and describe how their findings explained the results of the election. Based on this reflection, they also archived their election website reports. The initial research hypotheses were therefore revisited several times during the course of the project.
|Convention Knowledge
|Uses appropriate conventions for documentation and for surface features such as syntax, grammar, usage, punctuation, and spelling.
|Each of the writing assignments required the students to use different writing conventions--the website even required the students to learn beginning html conventions.
Source: Adapted from Western Washington University's Learning Outcomes for Writing II.
|Learning Outcomes
|Course Outcomes
|Identifying Need
|Recognizes when information is needed and formulates clear questions based on the information needed.
|Students met in the library with the social science librarian and the government documents librarian during the course of the project, and they learned how to identify appropriate resources for their research. Based on this research, the students developed clear hypotheses.
|Search Strategies
|Matches information needs to information resources and organizes an effective search strategy.
|The students performed library and internet searches for information that would be useful for their websites and reports. They used the sources indicated by the librarians, plus they located and evaluated information on their own. During this process, they learned to develop effective search strategies.
|Effective Searching
|Interprets citations and the internet equivalents and knows how to efficiently retrieve cited items.
|Students were directed to list the sources for their reports and were given a format to do so. Working in teams allowed them to compare each others' work, and to learn to make their own searches for information more effective.
|Seeks various sources of evidence to provide support for a research question or conclusion.
|The students were involved in evaluation of sources and processes from the first week of class. The exercise that allowed them to develop their own criteria for evaluation of information, plus the sessions with the librarians and with their instructor and graduate assistant, allowed them to evaluate their own work and that of their teammates. Revisiting their hypotheses in light of the actual election results reinforced this learning outcome.

Quick Reference
A small hollow in a beach, U-shaped in plan; the arms pointing seawards. Beaches tend to have a series of cusps, formed when outgoing rip currents and incoming waves set up nearly circular water movements. They form by self-organization, wherein positive feedback between swash flow and the developing morphology initiates the development of the pattern, and negative feedback—from the circulation of flow within the beach cusps—causes pattern stabilization (Coco et al. (2003) J. Geophys. Res. 108, C3). Ciriano et al. (2005) J. Geophys. Res. Oceans 110, C02018 suggest that beach cusp evolution might control low-mode edge wave dynamics.

"The main issue with the existing judicial building is sheer volume," explains project coordinator Adam Nicholson. "On any given weekday, you'll see a steady stream of people lining up to get into the old courthouse. There's only one door in and one door out, one magnetometer in security, and one elevator. So major congestion is an issue before you even enter the building."
"The existing facility is also extremely compromised in terms of the way its design approaches safety, security and the separation of certain populations," adds senior architect and principal Jeff Kuhnhenn. "This new judicial center will provide a far greater level of security not only for the general public, but for the people who are working within the building as well as the defendants."
To be situated just three blocks north of Murfreesboro's historic downtown Square, the new Rutherford County Judicial Center will consist of a 215,000-square-foot, six-story building programmed to house up to 16 courtrooms. The facility will also include an off-site, four-level parking garage with 366 spaces on two adjacent sites on Maple Street, a prominent city artery.
From the outset of the planning phase, GS&P engaged the county's Design Review Committee composed of various stakeholders, including the Clerk and Master, judges and the program manager, as well as representatives from the Chancery Court, the County Clerk's Office, the Office of Information Technology, and Rutherford County Sheriff's Office.
"The Design Review Committee was an essential part of the overall development and design," says Kuhnhenn. "We engaged early on with all the key stakeholders in a process for benchmarking other facilities and developing a vision for the new building. That process created a common language for everyone involved, so as we moved into the actual design, we all understood one another."
Priorities established during the initial visioning session were then summarized in a series of guiding principles. At the top of the list was the provision of a safe facility for both visitors and employees. Also key was a functional and efficient building design. To accommodate the facility's necessary functions, the design team evaluated a number of options for pairing courtrooms and stacking floors. After assessing two-court, four-court and six-court pairing schemes, a four-court configuration that stacked the building six-floors high was ultimately agreed upon.
"Given our previous experience designing the Justice A.A. Birch Building in Nashville, which is a courthouse of similar size, we had an understanding of how the three main populations needed to move separately throughout the building," says Nicholson. "You have the public, the defendants, and the judges and jurors. These lines of circulation must not meet until all parties reach the courtroom. Our design made sure these groups entered and moved separately through the building."
Visitors enter the building through a single point of security from the entrance plaza. Judges access separate, restricted elevators in the basement level. Jurors are also escorted to this restricted area for access to the deliberation rooms. Defendants are separated from the other populations by entering the facility one level below grade, and are directed into a secured-vehicle sally port. From there, they are escorted to a central holding facility until called for their court appearance.
Along with creating a functional and efficient facility, GS&P focused on the building's role as a civic landmark, creating a design that balanced operative necessities with details such as public outdoor spaces that will contribute to Murfreesboro's distinctive urban fabric.
"This building is extremely sensitive to its particular location in a way that's very special to Murfreesboro," says Kuhnhenn. "We championed the idea that the new facility must embrace its surroundings and add to what is unique about downtown Murfreesboro from a civic point of view."
"We engaged the public in each step of the design process and let them tell us how the building needed to fit into the community," adds Nicholson. "We asked, we listened, and then translated that feedback into a building that is authentically Murfreesboro."
Creating a new civic presence, the judicial center's highest point is an iconic cupola that pays homage to the historic pre-Civil War courthouse near downtown Murfreesboro's Civic Plaza. The fenestration and choice of exterior materials, including red brick and precast concrete, were also inspired by themes in local architecture.
"This building became a careful exercise in finding the right mixture of timeless design and forward-looking design," says Steve Johnson, executive vice president of GS&P's Corporate + Urban Design market. "I believe our design solution does a good job in walking that fine line between the two, and creating a balance of architecture that will fit in and be respectful of the past."
Softening the pedestrian transition into the new building, an entrance pavilion embedded with a terraced public plaza will serve as a counterpoint to the Civic Plaza at the southern end of Maple Street. The landscaped area will link the entrances of the Rutherford County Drug Court and the new judicial center.
"We envision a wide range of events for the new plaza, including public gatherings, ceremonies, and even daily lunches served by food trucks," notes architect Emil J. Mastandrea.
"The streetscaping around the building offers spaces Murfreesboro doesn't currently have in its downtown core," adds Nicholson. "Tensions in court can run high, so we've provided places of comfort and relief—a well-landscaped park setting for lunch or breaks. As the area grows, others will also convene in this space."
Moving from the public plaza inside to the security area, a vaulted ceiling extends the central form of the exterior and embraces a traditional color found in the domed ceiling of the nearby City Hall. Clerestory windows provide ample daylight and accentuate the transition from security into a double-height central lobby accented by vaulted ceilings and red-brick masonry piers that also complement the building's exterior aesthetic. Reducing the load on public elevators, a monumental stair links the lobby to the high-volume courtrooms and clerks' offices on the first two floors.
"We incorporated high ceilings, an elevated finish palette, and a center judge's bench to convey a sense of dignity in the courtrooms, which is the only space within the building where officials, defendants and the public will meet," says senior architect Tim DeBuse. "Although the details within the space are simplified to align with the exterior architecture, the more traditional woodwork and symmetry honor the original courthouse."
Along with benefiting the public through the building's safety, aesthetic and cultural components, the design team placed a particular emphasis on incorporating fiscal and environmental solutions that will result in long-term value to both the client and the community.
"This is the public's money and it's also a building that's intended to have a very long life span. So we had to take a lot of different things into consideration," explains Kuhnhenn. "What might be inexpensive in the short term could actually turn out to be costly in the long run. For instance, AV technology used in the courtrooms changes rapidly. So we recognized the need to design a building that has strong, flexible and functional bones that support the kind of things that need to change over time."
"A big part of the sustainability component involved the engineering of the building," adds Nicholson. "We looked at what was going to matter 50 years from now, and operational costs were an important piece of the puzzle. To better understand the performance of the building envelope, we developed an energy model early in the process. It helped us determine the types of budgetary decisions we could make, such as how to properly size our mechanical equipment. This assessment translated into a low operational cost and high efficiency for the owner."
In terms of long-term viability, the facility will open with 10 active courtrooms, which will eventually expand to 16 courtrooms with a fourth-floor buildout.
"That's the difference between a building that might be obsolete in 20 years versus one that can last another 50 years," says Nicholson.
Slated for occupancy by June 2018, the new Rutherford County Judicial Center serves as a catalyst for growth and development within the city's urban core, while setting a precedent for projects of a larger scale in the historic downtown area.
"Public safety, the administration of justice, and the building as a symbol of good government are all vital aspects of this project. I'm proud of how our team approached each of these and responded with appropriate solutions," concludes Johnson. "The new courthouse is positioned to not only support the historic Square, but also extend and enhance the center of economic activity in downtown Murfreesboro."
"We are going to be extremely proud of this building," notes Rutherford County Mayor Ernest G. Burgess. "I am very pleased with GS&P's professional, competent and experienced approach to the project. Their contribution to the success of our new judicial center is immeasurable."

Technology has completely changed the way mankind works. It has become an integral part of our lives and basic movements of man are now solely dependent upon technology. Technology has prepared mankind to work faster, smarter and allows the brain to concentrate on other exciting and challenging goals and milestones. The last decade is dedicated to the workmanship of technology and its impact on the human race. http://www.360career.com/. It has given us sleeker cell phones, internet mobility on personal computers that can now fit in purses and an extensive database of knowledge called the internet.
There is no avenue that technology has not touched. The complete workforce of mankind now works with technology. Thousands of industries and organizations around the world are now reaping the benefits of technology. And the education system is no exception to the rule. Technology has advanced and honed policies, streamlined academic activity and provided extensive reporting that was never possible before. Unique systems are now available in the market that immediately notify parents if their child or children arrive late at school and allow teachers to remotely send homework and grade papers online. Students across the world now search and prepare term papers all from simple browsing the internet at home or libraries. The basic principles of knowledge have not changed but the very edifice of obtaining and teaching has been revolutionalised by technology.
Other benefits of technology in the education arena are the administration functionality that technology provides. It allows colleges and universities to monitor thousands of students at one given go and allow hundreds of students to register classes that are suitable to the teachers and the students by the click of a mouse. Elementary and high schools can use sophisticated voice mails to update parents of the progress of the updates of their children. Technology has also been able to successfully deploy dedicated networks across intranets within college domains to share documents and reports.
The primal goal of these communications servers are designed to streamline information and messaging within the school systems administrative and teaching community. This type of system can also help facilitate communications between various designated groups, clubs, the entire student body, and parents. Through this, everyone can stay better informed of special events and check the system frequently for any updates or changes that may have occurred. All student games, activities and personal information of students can be stored and retrieved at any given time by school officials.
The other important benefit of technology in the education sector is the exponential increase in enrollment due to the availability of online courses. People do not have to be physically available to take part in an important meeting or class across the world. Simple bandwidth connectivity will do the job and allow thousands of people in one global sphere to easily communicate with people in dispersed areas.
Hundreds of companies exist that build and provide applications and sophisticated softwares that further improve on the benefits of technology in education. Applications now provide video conferencing and remote logins to servers. For more information and details visit: http://www.360career.com/content/Technology-and-education.asp

To many people across Texas, Johnny Callan was more than just another FFA member. Johnny was their friend, but most of all someone poised to make a difference in the world around him.
"Johnny was branded as far as FFA was concerned," said Jacksboro FFA advisor, Loren Sell. "Everything he did revolved around not only FFA, but a way to help other students."
During his time as a Jacksboro FFA member, Johnny showed goats, served as chapter president, and was chosen to serve as a Texas FFA Ford Leadership Scholar.
"Johnny was one of the most inspirational people I have ever met," said Jacksboro FFA officer, Kamlynn Thomas. "He was so passionate about everything he did and always wanted to help share his passions and talents with everyone."
One of Johnny's passions was his project for the Texas FFA Ford Leadership Scholars program. He knew he wanted to do something that would benefit the people around him in a big way, so he chose to build a fishing pier at a lake in Jacksboro.
Johnny was determined to have his pier done by the 2017 Texas FFA Ford Scholars banquet held this past January. When he passed, his town came together to see that dream through.
"The community came out of the woodwork to help finish," Sell said. "Johnny mentioned that at the grand opening he wanted fireworks, so we had a fireworks show that would put the Fourth of July to shame."
Sell said everyone that had the opportunity to meet him knew that there was something special and unique about Johnny. He had an ability to persevere difficult times and come out even better than before.
"Not a day goes by that I don't think of him," Sell said. "He should be here with us."

Indian Arts & Crafts
& Bamboo Products - States of India
has long been a hub for traditional cane & bamboo art.
Since ancient times, bamboo & cane were used
by the tribals as a means for expressing their creativity
and artistic streak as well as to make useful items of daily
use. What is fascinating to note is that this traditional,
age old art continues to be popular even today, thanks to
the sustained efforts of development centres, Government initiatives
and non profit organisations. Over the years, bamboo and cane
products have continued to be in great demand, especially
Cane Furniture.
The concept of cottage industries
in India has transformed the lives of unemployed, uneducated,
local artisans who are gifted in several traditional art forms
of India. Besides providing a dependable source of livelihood
to the locals, these industries have managed to promote some
of India's oldest art forms. Indian handicrafts, especially
products made from cane and bamboo are manufactured at low
costs in several states of India, especially those which are
naturally blessed with these natural resources.
First things first -
is Bamboo? Bamboo
is a very tall, fast growing perennial grass. The different
parts of the bamboo are used for different purposes. For example,
the shoot of the bamboo is used in cooking while the fibres
are used to create textile.
is Cane? Cane
refers to the hollow stem of a tall grass.
take a look at some of the different Products made from Cane
& Bamboo in India -
- The state of Assam
is a treasure trove of cane & bamboo natural resources,
thanks to its abundant cane and bamboo forests. Spread across
the lenght and breadth of Assam, the artisans have for long
been involved in the manufacture of beautiful cane and bamboo
products. Assam has over the years, seen considerable socio-economic
growth and sustained development due to its dedicated, skilled
artisans and its beautiful natural resources.
of the most popular cane items from Assam include -
Cane Floor Mats, Bamboo Tea Trays, Bamboo Head Gears,
Bamboo Sieve, Musical Instruments, Bamboo Baskets, Hukkas,
- The state of Kerala is
a popular tourist destination. It has a rich tradition of
manufacturing beautiful painted mats and checkered black &
white square boxes made of bamboo. While these items serve
as excellent gifts, they also energise the handicraft market
of this region.
of the most popular bamboo and cane items from Kerala include -
Boxes, Mats, etc.
Pradesh - The state of
Arunachal Pradesh has a rich tradition of bamboo and cane crafts.
Usually the men are involved in this art. Perhaps the best known
products from here are the vibrant hats which are decorated with
feathers etc.
of the most popular bamboo and cane items from Arunachal Pradesh
include - Cane Belts, Baskets,
Mats, Ornaments, Head Gear, etc.
Bengal - The state of West Bengal
is another state of India, well known for its bamboo and cane products.
Thousands of artisants in Bengal are involved in the production
of bamboo & cane mats as well as eye catching and elegant screens
& panels. What is truly interesting to note is the interdependence
and the culture of sharing raw materials between states. The Mutra
Cane is derived from Cooch in Bihar and is used for the craft work
in Bengal.
of the most popular bamboo and cane items from West Bengal include
- Panels,
Screens, Mats etc
Nadu - Within Tamil Nadu, Chennai,

Brazil, our Brics partner, has its own nightmarish history. The country is currently paying fast attention to the allegations pouring forth from a truth commission. Brazil's military rule, from 1964 to 1985, proved to be unpleasant for many of the country's citizens. Primary among them: President Dilma Rousseff. By RICHARD POPLAK.
Consider the headline of this piece something of a McGuffin. Brazil, one of the world's fastest emerging economies (slowing somewhat at the moment, but no need to panic yet), can't tell South Africa much about Truth and Reconciliation, because the country is trying very hard to figure that stuff out on its own. Brazil has done less than its neighbours to deal with the darkness of its past. Ex-military establishment figures, like the loathed Pedro Ivo Moézia de Lima, have done no time, living high on the hog completely uninterested in either truth or reconciling. De Lima tried his damndest to stop the commission at its inception, to no real effect.
And so, the dirty laundry is slowly taken to the line. Four hundred people killed, many thousands more imprisoned, tortured, humiliated. The country has a large struggle-ista establishment, but unlike South Africa, the most famous among them don't parade their credentials on a daily basis. The country's president, Dilma Rousseff, once known by the nom de guerre Estela, is surprisingly quiet about her days on the frontlines.
The president had it as bad as any. She was imprisoned and tortured systematically and brutally. She spent three years in jail, where her interrogators used electric shocks on her feet and her ears. She was beaten, and forced into one of the country's signature forms of humiliation: the pau de arera, or parrot's perch, in which the unlucky leftist was hung naked, with their hands and ankles bound.
In other words, this wasn't tickling. There are a generation of leftists in the country who suffered terribly at the hands of the regime, but their version of a truth commission has not had the same effect as our own TRC. Although Mr. Lopes de Lime has come under significant fire—his home has been surrounded and decorated with graffiti that reads "a torturer of the dictatorship lives here"—the commission remains controversial, and is certainly not binding the country in ribbons of satiny truth.
The country is wracked by a problem that South Africans know well: How much of the past can the future handle? Asked another way, in a country like Brazil that is focused on the coming World Cup Final and the next Olympics—a country obsessed with the future and its status as an emerging power—is the past of any use? Dilma Rousseff's own ambivalence speaks to this. She does not play the victim, which is something that would be anathema to a South African politician of her standing. And while she has pushed for the transparency the commission would usher in, this is hardly unique to the commission. Transparency is a Brazilian buzzword; openness the road that will lead to a shining future.
Ms. Rousseff, along with her ex-husband, belonged to a group called Palmares Armed Revolutionary Vanguard. She did not grow up in the favelas, but in upper-middle-class privilege as the daughter of a Bulgarian businessman and his Brazilian schoolteacher wife. But Rousseff was appalled by the abuses of the military regime, and like the other leftists that now form the Brazilian political elite, she joined a shadowy group and went underground.
The stakes were very, very high. She was thrown in prison at the age of 22, and spent three years there. After her release in 1976, she returned to her economics studies, gave birth to a daughter, and slowly wormed her way into politics. She did not rise as a strident woman-of-the-people, but as a hardnosed technocrat marinated in policy. She is a very tough leader—known to make grown men cry—but is also a moderate, having dispensed with the leftist rhetoric a long time ago.
If the most prominent of Brazil's former leftists isn't willing to play the torture card, where does that leave the thousands who are still nursing their wounds and their histories? Civil society groups have been burgled, important documents stolen. And as we've already noted, the establishment of old has no interest in digging up the past. Does this mean Brazil is destined to repeat the mistakes of the past?
Not necessarily. Although the police still use a heavy hand in dealing with crime in the favelas, the country is subject to the rule of law. That law, unlike during the military regime, tends to favour its citizens. The country is by no means perfect, and the scars of the regime still mark the country's best and brightest, but Brazil has undeniably moved forward.
What, then, is the point of hanging all the stained pairs of undies on the proverbial washing line? Brazil's history isn't a secret, and there are dozens of civil society and government initiatives to document to abuses of the past. In terms of redress, most victims have been compensated—Ms. Rousseff donated her $10,000 to civil society group helping torture victims.
The likes of Mr. Lopes de Lima are unlikely to ever see justice. There are others who question Ms. Rousseff's torture credentials. There is no consensus on whether the commission will do any good. This is the mess of a country coming to terms with itself, growing up, maturing. It's an ungainly business, like any adolescent process—something that South Africans know all too well. Perhaps the only truth about Truth and Reconciliation Committees is that they air old divides that take generations to heal. It's a tough business. Ask Dilma Rousseff. She knows all about tough. DM

I cannot recommend this property highly enough and would love to return with my family, colleagues, or any occasion that I can find!
This property is amazing! After my family's first trip I knew that we absolutely had to come back for another visit. We've been in the winter as well as summer, so we had a plethora of different activities available to us. We've had the opportunity to stay in two different houses on the property and they both definitely did not disappoint. The homes are beautifully well keep, with comfortable beds and large common areas.
Both times visiting the ranch I went with large groups that were looking for different activities. Just to name a few...we were able to: ride quads, Kayak, fish, skeet shoot, ride an awesome air boat, and explore the wilderness around the property. If anyone is a little bit on the hesitant side like me, there is a ranch hand that is willing to help with any of the activities. He was great at providing thorough instructions and helping with anything around the property.
We had a large group and were initially worried that there wouldn't be enough space for us all to have meals together, but we were so excited to see that there is a huge covered porch that was perfect for seating everyone in the group. The highlight of one evening was grilling off the porch, playing games on the grass with our kids (there's a cool teepee that the kids were obsessed with!) and then relaxing on the porch with wine while listening to the night sounds. A truly great evening.
This property is perfect for anyone that is looking to get away and experience great outdoor activities. I went with friends and family, but I can see this place also being fit for corporate retreats or outings. The owners are really nice and easy to work with.
I have been fortunate to stay in several Western USA resort towns: Aspen, Telluride, Moab, Jackson, Glacier, Tahoe, Big Fork, etc. and I really appreciated the space and topography of Rexburg, ID and just wanted to say "thank you" to the Buster Boy Ranch for showing a city slicker and my family a wonderful time!
The property is magical, bright blue skies over a plateau looking down at the meandering Snake River - breathtaking! The ranch has multiple properties and all are very well apointed while maintaining a wonderful rustic feel. I couldn't get enough of the many outdoors activities and loved the bright blue skies and ranch hospitality to make our stay absolutely wonderful!
Some highlights for me include:
-Afternoon kayak trips on the Snake.
-Fan Boat Tours
-Skeet shooting
-Fishing at the stocked ponds
-seeing first hand eagles, moose, llama's and sheep
-Riding quads on the 700 acres of property trails surrounding the property.
-Grilling dinner at sunset looking at the distant Teton range
-Enjoying watching my "city kids" run and play in freedom while getting a little dirty.
-Relaxing on the covered porch
-Watching the beautiful mountain weather pass through.
I was a little concered about expensive flights flights but found great fares on regional airlines into Idaho Falls (about 30 minutes from Rexburg). Day trips to some of the neighboring areas (jackson, Driggs, Idaho Falls, are really great exploring. Also the kids loved the beer-mug themed drive-in fast food restaurant ("taters!!!) it was a lot of fun!
City living can be exhausting at times so it was great to really switch off. If you are tired of the same old same old Western USA resort town and want to mix up your vacation plans (or offer a great corporate retreat option) The Buster Boy Ranch is a must see!
Thanks again. Can't wait to return!
This is such an amazing property! The houses are extremely comfortable, well maintained, and nicely decorated. We loved the screened patio on the back porch for large outdoor family meals! From every direction, the views from the property are beautiful and serene. The expansive grounds afford you the opportunity to be as active… or as relaxed as you want. The consummate outdoorsmen can explore, fish, hunt, kayak, airboat, ride quads or simply lounge on the porch swing and read a book. This experience is perfect for large corporate retreats, family reunions or groups looking for a recreational escape. The owners were incredibly warm and accommodating. We will absolutely be heading back and hoping to make it an annual affair!
We brought our family to enjoy a weekend of firsts: fishing, riding, kayaking, shooting, and just plain Enjoying nature at its finest. The property is spectacular - open space, comfortable accommodations and great people that helped us in everything we needed. You will love this place!

Video | Assassination of myself
Hemsida | www.internationalnoise.com
Spearheaded by Rick Rubin and created in the same Sunset Sound studio where The Doors recorded most of their acclaimed catalog, The (International) Noise Conspiracy's fourth full-length is a bunker-buster of compassion and activism aimed straight for your heart and brain.
Set to explode during one of the most critical political periods in postmodern history, The Cross of My Calling is the sound of a global society steps away from apocalypse. Whether it's the epic title track, the anti-moralism of "Child of God," the neocon smackdown of "Black September", the compromised ideals of "Dustbins of History" or the call-to-arms against overconsumption found in "Washington Bullets" and "Storm the Gates of Beverly Hills," the band's latest effort is packed with warning, and amplified by passion.
"Rick likes the fact that we are very political," explains vocalist Dennis Lyxzén, "especially in times like these. Labels want you to tone down the politics, but Rick recognizes that it's what makes us stand out. But we also recognize the industry is on shaky ground because of that, which is why it's so cool to have someone like Rick believe in you." After his former band – the seminal hardcore act Refused – broke up, Lyxzén founded The (International) Noise Conspiracy and the group has delivered unrestrained critiques of capitalism, soundtracking our slide into terror, hyperreality and narcotized apathy since 1998. Featuring ferocious songs sequenced from the genes of rock, jazz, art, punk and protest, Survival Sickness, A New Morning, Changing Weather and the Rubin-helmed Armed Love have mashed revolutionary theory and kinetic sonics into a hybrid solution as intelligent as it is danceable. "We've worked hard for a long time, but its a tough world to get by in. Anything that doesn't fit the mold scares the music industry," elaborates Lyxzén. "We know how this world works; that's just the way it is."
Rubin's ear managed to bring out the best in The (I)NC's latest batch of songs, which broadly cover challenging territory. The urgent noise of opener "Assassination of Myself" is "ultimately about the deconstruction of the male identity, about being told what it is to be a man," Lyxzén says. That self-actuation forms a thematic center for The Cross of My Calling.
Lyxzén, guitarist Lars Strömberg, bassist Inge Johansson and drummer Ludwig Dahlberg ignite on the breakneck "Arm Yourself." "We all sit here and talk about revolution," Lyxzén says, "but how far are we ready to go, to transform it into something real?"
Meanwhile, the soulful stomp of "Boredom of Safety" takes the convenience and comfort of success apart, with the help of backing vocals from The BellRays' powerhouse Lisa Kekaula, who also shows up on the hard-charging atheist anthem "I Am the Dynamite." "She's pretty amazing," Lyxzén says of Kekaula. "I've been a singer for awhile, but once she came in, I was like, 'I suck.'" Of course, given the setting, it makes sense that the ghost of The Doors also makes an appearance. The brooding, cathartic organ solo on "Child of God" is a faithful iteration of the same organ solo found on The Doors' chilled epic "Riders on the Storm." Lyxzén's poignant chorus "When the music stops" on the multi-hued movements of the title track tips its hat to Jim Morrison's apocalyptic "When the Music's Over." "We're not going to lie," admits Lyxzén. "It was total homage."
The allusions deepen the farther you go. The jagged funk of "Hiroshima Mon Amour" conjures Alain Resnais' French New Wave classic, in much louder fashion. The scorching blues riff of "I Am the Dynamite" capably channels the racist dystopia of Alan Parker's film Mississippi Burning.
Meanwhile, "Satan Made the Deal" smashes Sammy Davis Jr., Patty Hearst and the ultimate apocalyptic California dreamer Charles Manson into a sonic blender and ends up with …. swamp boogie straight outta the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street? "Rick was doubtful, but we wanted the Stones groove on there," says Lyxzén. "The song is about how Manson could have been any of us. I don't believe in the concept of ultimate evil or good." Unlike the Bush administration and its invasion of Iraq, which informs The (I)NC's "Washington Bullets," a no-holds-barred slam of fossil fools and their wars delivered in a hyperactive jam featuring one of the nastiest organ solos ever laid down on tape.
This thematic and musical synergy is on glorious display throughout The Cross of My Calling, The (I)NC's most mature effort to date. Brimming with invested thrash and open minds trying once again to unplug humanity from virtual reality before it's too late, the release may be just in time for the tipping point. "It's hard to tell what the election will bring," Lyxzén concludes. "We have always been avid believers that it's not McCain, Obama or Bush, but the system that is screwed up. We'll see what happens. But America is losing its empire, economically and politically. It is holding onto Iraq, trying to prove its worth by gunpoint. Yet the ruling elite senses that change is coming. Europe and Asia are ascendant. We'll see what happens."

University Educators for Sustainable Development (UE4SD)
The Centre for Sustainable Business is a partner in a three-year project that builds upon the work of COPERNICUS Alliance and seeks to give continuity to the People´s Sustainability Treaty on Higher Education launched at Rio+20.
The project will be co-led by a steering group composed by the University of Gloucestershire (lead organisation, UK), Charles University (Czech Republic), Leuphana University (Germany) and the University Autónoma of Madrid (Spain).
The project involves the creation of a thematic academic network with a minimum of 25 EU member states. The Network will work in partnership to map opportunities for university-educators to develop Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) competences through professional development. It will (i) identify and capture leading practice in the areas of ESD competences and professional development in universities, (ii) edit a publication highlighting innovative case studies, (iii) produce an online database of resources, and (iv) frame and trial a sustainability in higher education professional development and networking platform

Green Screen DJ Mix
01 Feb
Technology is finally making childhood dreams achievable without even needing to leave the house. I woke up one morning and decided to build a green screen set in our living room. I hired a camera and filmed myself djing in front of it. A few days tinkering later I had my very own cheesy CG music video. Just like the ones I used to see on Saturday morning TV in the early 90's. 🙂
Mixing some of my favourite bass-heavy breakbeat, the video features music from Zed's Dead, Drumattic Twins, North Base, Bassbin Twins, Twins Break, Ribs & IG88, Freefall Collective and Wizard. There's a few loops and scratches thrown in for good measure too.

Minnesota fishing opener has numerous river closures
This time of year is crucial for walleye spawning and the DNR is not taking any chances by closing numerous rivers during the Minnesota fishing opener. A number of river reaches will be closed in Northwestern Minnesota for the Minnesota fishing opener on May 11. Most of these closures will extend through Midnight on May 17. Rivers are not only closed for walleye spawning but also because of the late ice out. The following portions of the Mississippi, Tamarac, Clearwater, Turtle and other rivers will be closed:
Closed Through May 17
Blackduck River – Beltrami County – County Road 32 north to Red Lake Reservation boundary.
Clearwater River – Clearwater County – below Clearwater Lake Dam for 900 feet.
Long Lake – Hubbard County – below the inlet culvert south of State Highway 34.
Mississippi River – Beltrami County – below Otter Tail Power Dam to Big Wolf Lake.
Otter Tail River – Becker County – below Highway 10 culvert near Frazee.
Pelican River – Becker County – below Bucks Mill Dam to Buck Lake.
Shotley Brook – Beltrami County – State Highway 72 to Upper Red Lake.
Tamarac River – Beltrami County – from Upper Red Lake upstream to Beltrami-Koochiching county line.
Turtle River – Beltrami County – below Three Island Dam to Turtle River Lake.
Closed May 9 Until Further Notice
Toad River – Otter Tail County – inlet to Big Pine Lake upstream to County Road 13.
Closed through May 24
Unnamed water – Hubbard County – connection between Lake Emma and Big Sand Lake.
During the closure no fishing will be allowed in these specified areas. There will be signs posted at all boat accesses for these locations. Although it is always a hard decision to close areas and restrict recreation it is the DNR's first responsibility to protect the long-term health of the fishery. This is the first time since 2008 that so many river closures have taken place over the Minnesota fishing opener.
It seems like the hits just keep on coming for anglers itching to get out on the water for the Minnesota fishing opener. For any questions contact the Northwest Region fisheries office in Bemidji – 218-308-2623, or click here for a list of seasonal closures.

Adult eating disorders
Further Information
Bulimia is a condition which can affect anybody at any age and within any profession, however it is more common in dancers, gymnasts and models.
Within modern society, the pursuit for beauty, thinness and moreover, fitting in with the crowd, can be overpowering, and bulimia is sometimes seen as a way of dealing with this pressure. Look out for an obsession with looking a certain way and striving for a certain body shape, for example buying particular beauty magazines, an increase in exercising or visiting 'pro-ana' or 'pro-mia' websites.
It is common for those who are overweight or obese to suffer from bulimia specifically as a way to lose weight, so look out for binge eating followed by self-induced vomiting as a way of dealing with the guilt associated with binge eating.
One of the first things to spot would be a change in behaviour and attitude towards others, for example becoming more short tempered, emotional or undergoing a drastic reduction in confidence.
Not everyone will show the same symptoms, but the most common symptoms of bulimia include:
Close family or friends may not notice these symptoms mainly because you may not dramatically lose weight. Other side effects of bulimia due to continuous binge eating, vomiting and taking laxatives can include:
Those who suffer from bulimia may also experience emotional symptoms including:
