The summer of 1862 was coming to an end and autumn was close at hand in northern Illinois. Late August in Will County usually meant making sure everything was in order to bring in the harvest. But not this year. A gangly lawyer from Springfield was in the White House, and the Union was coming apart at the seams , if it had not come apart already.
Enlisting volunteers to help bring the rebellious Confederacy back into line was not an issue. There were plenty of young men eager for adventure, and looking for any excuse to get off the farm. But Giles Louis Greenman was not a young man. He was on the downhill side of forty years old. He was the father of three sons, two of whom were almost old enough to fight, and three daughters. He had survived two wives, and married a third. No one doubted that he had experience. Just not fighting experience.
The 100th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry rendezvoused at Camp Irwin in Joliet, and was almost immediately called to the front. Private Greenman was among the ranks of nearly a thousand men sent by railcar to Springfield and then to Louisville, Kentucky. Almost none of the passengers aboard those trains had ever seen a battlefield.
Murfreesboro was a small town in the Stones River Valley in central Tennessee. Confederate General Braxton Bragg decided that it was there that his troops would make a stand against the advancing Federal forces, and stop the Yankee horde from taking Chatanooga. The locale, however, offered nothing in terms of natural defenses and his Army of Tennessee would be outnumbered.
The Rebels did have the advantage of knowing that the Union troops were on their way. General William Rosencrans, and his Army of the Cumberland were harassed by Bragg's troops as they made their way towards Murfreesboro. Rosencrans's supply wagons were destroyed and over 1,000 Union prisoners were taken before the inevitable battle had even begun.
As dawn broke on December 31, 1862, the Confederates launched the first attack of what the North would call the Battle of Stones Creek and the South would name the Battle of Murfreesboro. Private Greeman, and several thousand other men, would not live to see the first day of 1863.
The battle would continue without relief until the waning hours of January 3rd, when Bragg retreated through Tullahoma, Tennessee and Rosencrans took Murfreesboro. In the four days over which the battle took place, over twenty-three thousand men lost their lives; over ten thousand Confederate soldiers and over thirteen thousand Union soldiers. The battle was tactically inconclusive.
The Battle of Stones River was, however, strategically important in that it removed the Confederate threat to Middle Tennessee and significantly improved Union morale. President Lincoln would later write to General Rosencrans: "You gave us a hard earned victory., which had there been a defeat instead, the nation could scarcely have lived over." At war's end, the Stones River National Cemetery was established, with more than six thousand Union graves.

"We are animals, and as animals, we want to be free," says writer/director Damian Szifron about the characters in his film "Wild Tales" (listen to our podcast interview below). "We want to be wild. Our instinct has its needs. At a point, we get used to repressing our instincts on a daily basis, and we live in a society where you don't feel free everyday. It's easy for us to understand that when we were slaves there was no freedom, or in a totalitarian regime there is no freedom, but sometimes it's not easy to understand that in these days, in our country, we are not free, and our lives are determined by a lot of things that we don't choose and that we don't decide. We assume them as normal."
Does cinematography bid boost the Oscar chances for 'Ida' as Best Foreign Film?
The film, nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars, comprises several disconnected shorts detailing the extreme ways in which everyday people react to life's many inconveniences. As Szifron says, "Most of us get depressed or stressed. And some of us, very few, explode. This is a film about the ones that explode. All of the characters in this film lose their minds, and they go wild. They go completely savage."
According to the director, "Wild Tales" began life as "a non-desired film." He goes on to explain, "I was trying to make other films. Before 'Wild Tales,' I made two feature films and two TV series, all between 2001 and 2006. And then I dedicated myself to writing for almost seven years." During this period, he developed several feature-length screenplays, including a western, a romance, and a science-fiction epic. Because his inspiration knew no bounds, pretty soon the filmmaker had completed a variety of short scripts as well.
Can you win $1,000 predicting the Oscars?
"I didn't know what to do with them," he says, "but by the time I wrote the third or the fourth one, I could tell that they were all connected thematically and energetically, and that they belonged to the same album in a way, to the same universe, to the same constellation." He then compiled the scripts and passed them along to a longtime producing partner, and according to Szifron, "He said, 'We should do this right now! This is very fresh; you can feel the creative freedom.' And I agreed. I think the film expressed a lot of stuff in a very economical way."
When it came to stringing the films together to form a narrative, Szifron drew inspiration from "rock albums or jazz albums." He compares the film to a concert, saying, "You have different tracks: one is slow, the other one is fast, oppressive, the other one is explosive." It's also like the circus: "You have the guy who enters the lion's cage, the guy on the tightrope, the magician, and you enjoy all those numbers and see them within the context of a single experience. That for me is what this film is: it's a single cinematic experience."
"Wild Tales" currently sits in third place in our experts' predictions with 14/1 odds, behind "Ida" in first (2/7) and "Leviathan" in second (15/2). Check out our full interview below for more on how Szifron brought these wild tales to life.

I almost made it all the way through President's Day without a tribute to one of the most under-appreciated men of all time: Rutherford B. Hayes. I know what you're thinking: "Isn't he the guy who..?"
No. No he isn't. Hayes, our 19th president, did absolutely nothing after ascending to the highest rank in America following the closest election in our history.
When the first returns seemed to confirm [that he had lost], Hayes went to bed, believing he had lost. But in New York, Republican National Chairman Zachariah Chandler, aware of a loophole, wired leaders to stand firm: "Hayes has 185 votes and is elected." The popular vote apparently was 4,300,000 for Tilden to 4,036,000 for Hayes. Hayes's election depended upon contested electoral votes in Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida. If all the disputed electoral votes went to Hayes, he would win; a single one would elect Tilden.
Months of uncertainty followed. In January 1877 Congress established an Electoral Commission to decide the dispute. The commission, made up of eight Republicans and seven Democrats, determined all the contests in favor of Hayes by eight to seven. The final electoral vote: 185 to 184. (whitehouse.gov)
Fascinating. What happened next was even more exciting. His wife got rid of the booze in the White House. He appointed reputable people to positions in his cabinet, rather than merely friends. Before becoming president, Hayes had announced he would serve only one term, and he followed up on it. Twelve years out of office, he died.
Many see Hayes as a forgettable figure, but I think we can all learn from his example: take life as it comes, and never try to do too much. Coast through whatever situations arise, and make sure no one has anything negative to say about you once you're gone. To play it safe, just make sure no one has anything to say about you at all.
And the "B" stands for Birchard.

Dielectric and High Temperature Superconducting Materials for Microwave Communication SystemsProject ID: BRPR950084
Dielectric and High Temperature Superconducting Materials for Microwave Communication Systems
Detalles del proyecto
Coste total:No disponible
Aportación de la UE:No disponible
Coordinado en:France
Tema(s):0201 - Materials engineering
Régimen de financiación:CSC - Cost-sharing contracts
Objectives and content
The main industrial objective of the proposed research is to optimize and exploit the microwave properties of single crystal and polycrystalline dielectric materials and high temperature superconductor thin and thick films for specific applications in microwave communication, radar and measurement technology.
As a basic element, a disc of dielectric material arranged in a metallic shielding cavity, known as a dielectric resonator (DR), determines and stabilises the frequency of a microwave oscillator or a microwave filter. They are key components in a range of products from satellite receiver modules, Personal Communications Networks (PCNs), to VSAT (Very Small Aperture Satellite) systems for emerging uses in transportation and automobile sensors in traffic management schemes and anti-collision devices. New systems of satellite TV transmission based on digital encoding and compression of the video signal require improved DR components. The market is predicted to be 8.1 million units in 1998 and 14.6 million units in 2003 for the satellite TV modules alone. The equipment value is projected to be 9.8 billion ECU in 1998 and 14 billion ECU in 2003 with the ceramic component comprising 60 MECU in 2003.
On a medium timescale, the performance requirements defined by the demand for increased channel capacity in ground based cellular and satellite communications, for advanced radar systems and for ultrahigh sensitivity microwave measurement techniques, can only be fulfilled if new superior materials can be developed. At cryogenic temperatures, some species of single crystalline dielectrics exhibit extremely low losses. The use of high temperature superconducting films for the shielding cavities will enhance the performance, enable miniaturisation and to allow greater flexibility in the design of the devices. The development of such functionalized materials can most effectively be performed by a consortium with multidisciplinary research and development activities in material processing, device development, advanced device characterization, and system development.
Besides material provessing and characterisation in the areas: - Low loss single crystals and ceramics.
- Low loss HTS large a rea films
- Thick film shields
The consortium intends to deliver demonstrators in the following application areas:
- High power band-pass filters for satellite communications at 12.4 GHz. - Filter suitable for use at mobile communications frequencies, i.e. 1.8 GHz - Frequency stable oscillators for frequency standards.
- Low phase noise oscillators for radar applications.
These devices are intended to demonstrate the potential of the new materials, to provide a basis for system implementation and modification, and to quantify the increase of the market potential of dielectric resonator components and systems. Successful completion of the project will establish a leading position for Europe in the area of Materials' processing.

Azerbaijan cuisine is considered to be one of the most attractive, this fact is proved by impressive army of worshippers. One can taste renowned national dishes in Gulistan restaurant.
Recipe «Roast lamb with dried fruits»
Recipe «Baku-style salad»
Recipe «Kutabi pies»
Recipe «Pakhlava»Roast lamb with dried fruits recipe serves 2 persons; preparation time ~ 10 minutes; cooking time ~ 15 minutes Ingredients: lamb rump, pepper, salt, prunes, raisins, dried apricots, cherry plum sauce. Directions: Cut the meat off of the bone, pound it and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub the meat down with the cherry plum sauce and place the dried fruits on top of it. Roll into a tube shape and wrap in aluminium foil. Place it in the cooker to roast for 30 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius. Baku-style salad recipe serves 2 persons; preparation time ~ 10 minutes; cooking time ~ 15 minutes Ingredients: 60 g. grated cheese, 1 red bell pepper, 1 green apple, 130 g. celery, 30 g. walnuts, 50 g. rice, 50 g. corn, 70 g. boiled chicken breast, 100 g. mayonnaise, fresh green herbs. Directions: In order to make the serving dish for the salad, put the grated cheese on wax paper and put it in the cooker for a few minutes to melt. Once the cheese has melted and is still warm, use a glass to help form it into a basket shape. Let it cool and you have your serving dish! Cut the pepper and apple into small sticks and put in a bowl. Finely chop the walnuts and add them, along with the boiled rice and corn, into the dish with the apple and pepper. Shred the chicken and mix with the vegetables. Add in the mayonnaise and mix everything together. Serve the salad in the cheese basket and garnish with fresh green herbs. Kutabi pies recipe serves 2 persons; preparation time ~ 20 minutes; cooking time ~ 10 minutes Ingredients: Ingredients for the dough: 250 ml. water, 400 g. flour, salt. Ingredients for the filling: 30 g. green onion, 30 g. fresh parsley, 30 g. fresh dill, 30 g. fresh coriander, 30 g. fresh sorrel, 1 white onion, 30 g. feta cheese, pomegranate seeds, 50 g. butter, 150 g. Matsun (or plain yoghurt). Directions: Combine the water, flour and salt to make the dough. It should be relatively stiff and not stick to your hands. In order to make the filling, finely chop the dill, parsley, coriander, sorrel and green and white onion. Then roll out the dough into a thin circle. Put the chopped herbs on one side of the circle, not too close to the edge, keeping in mind that soon you will fold the pastry closed and pinch the edges. Then crumble the cheese on top and sprinkle on some pomegranate seeds. Fold the dough closed and pinch the edges together to ensure the filling stays inside. Fry on both sides in a pan without oil. When the kutabi is nice and brown, it is done cooking. Paint the top of the crust with melted butter and serve with matsun sauce on the side. Pakhlava recipe serves 4 persons; preparation time ~ 30 minutes; cooking time ~ 30 minutes Ingredients: Ingredients for the dough: 200 ml. milk, 500 g. flour, 100 g. butter, 1 egg, 1 tsp. yeast, salt. Ingredients for the filling: 200 g. walnuts, 200 g. sugar, 50 g. vanilla sugar, coriander, 50 g. butter, 1 egg. Ingredients for the syrup: 30 g. honey 200 g. sugar 200 ml. water. Directions: To make the pakhlava dough, heat the milk in a pan and put in the butter. Add in the yeast and one of the eggs, salt and mix well. Put in the flour little by little while continuing to stir everything together. Once everything is well mixed, let the dough sit for 20 minutes. Put the walnuts in the blender to chop them into very fine pieces. Mix them with the sugar (at a 1:1 ratio) in a bowl. Put in the vanilla sugar and a pinch of coriander and mix well. Roll out the crust for the pakhlava – 2 of the pieces should be a little fatter, while the other few should be very thin. Put a layer of wax paper on the bottom of the pan before setting down the first fatter layer of dough. Melt the butter and paint a layer of it on the bottom sheet of dough. Then spread an even layer of walnut filling over the dough. Take one of the thin layers of dough and put it on top, then painting it with the butter again and spreading the walnut filling over the dough. Repeat this pattern until the filling runs out. The top layer of dough should be the second fat sheet. Cut the pakhlava before cooking it. The pieces should be diamond-shaped. Garnish with unchopped walnuts. Beat an egg and paint the top layer of dough with it. Bake the pakhlava in the cooker for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. To make the syrup, boil the water and sugar together. Then add in the honey while stirring constantly until everything is well-mixed and uniform. Once the pakhlava comes out of the cooker, pour the syrup over the dish while it is still hot.

Con and I shall split what ever country we want
If you accept this and not spilt I have first pick so post in the comments.
R1 is Acc.
Iraq, Mexico, France, Germany and Russia is my rivals. The Axis.
Now Russia is basiclly a island. No, I know Russia is not around much water, but it is by waste land and mountains. So if Russia wanted to attack Japan and South Korea they haveto to it by Navy and Air. Im running out of time but the Russian Navy is weak right now and could easily be beaten. The UK and Germany would be in a stalemate, in which poland would tip in my favor while the US will deal with the French. The US will also deal with the Iraqi.
Now it would be true that Russia would only attack by air and sea with China being in the way(probably would be neutral and have no troops go through). Russia would most likely be in a tie with Japan and S. Korea in that battle and with France and Germany working together they would hold of the U.K.(until the U.S. would send reinforcements). Until Russia broke through Poland(or if Ukraine allowed troops to go through) then they couldn't support to the fullest. Russia I say would send at least 30,000 foot soldiers to support Iraq right away along with a few hundred jets and tanks. When Russia would brake through Poland(and come on they would) but not necessarily defeat them they would send maybe 2 times as much troops to support France and Germany dependent on the number of U.S. support troops.
I shall end my first phase of the war here and wait for the counter-attack.
All right to go with the comment for the start of the war, it would seem hard to pinpoint one but if I had to go with one is that since the Americans have already fought Iraq a few times before the fighting escalated
This weaken Iraq. Iraq HAS to get help from Russia.
...Germany had already lost to the U.S. and Russia so they picked a side in case the fighting went to them
Russia has three fronts they have to deal with.
The Germanic front (Front A)
The Japan-South Korea Front(Front B)
The Iraqi Front(Front C)
since Russia is closer they went with them. With France right next to Germany and Russian troops going in to support Germany(since the jets and boats will be used in the fight against Japan and S. Korea) France joins in with them
If you look at a map of Russia, you know that the Ural Mountains are blocking most of Russia from the west side of the Ural. Thus, they cant sent every aging gun they have in there. Russia also has a aging Navy and Air force. Japan and South Korea should have no problem.
Now it would be true that Russia would only attack by air and sea with China being in the way(probably would be neutral and have no troops go through). Russia would most likely be in a tie with Japan and S. Korea in that battle
Lets face it, they would sent the Airforce to Front A, not Front B. Front B would most likely be sea battles, again America is here to save the Asians. USA will sent the Navy and sent the Ground and airforce to deal with Mexico to give them a deadly blow.
..and with France and Germany working together they would hold of the U.K.(until the U.S. would send reinforcements). Until Russia broke through Poland(or if Ukraine allowed troops to go through) then they couldn't support to the fullest. Russia I say would send at least 30,000 foot soldiers to support Iraq right away along with a few hundred jets and tanks. When Russia would brake through Poland(and come on they would) but not necessarily defeat them they would send maybe 2 times as much troops to support France and Germany dependent on the number of U.S. support troops.
Said ground troops and Airforce will push the Russians to the Ural trapping them with the Russian Navy and Air force in Japanic area. Poland is only to hold the Russians back until The battle of Europe is finished.
I ask Con to delay his next debate a day later so I can have the time to shape my debate. Im busy.
You say Poland is to hold off Russia and that the Ural mountains will slow down Russia? Poland is a small country(put strong). The Ural are an obstacle but are you saying that we have no reserve plains? They could easily travel around the mountains in tanks and jeeps if they had to. You also said that the U.S would station around the Ural's? How is this? You would have to go through France and Germany, which isn't as easy as it sounds. I know Russia has very old ships but they are working on tactics to help them win battles. As it is said Russia is a Super Power so they aren't easily defeated.
Going back when you said Poland is to hold of Russia. If Russia were to attack Poland with German help they would have to defend both fronts. They would probably hold off Germany the least but that is where they falter. Germany would send most of its military to just have the support of Russia, and if you deny this you said that the battle in Japan and S. Korea would be a sea battle at first, so most if not all the ground troops will go to Poland(and Iraq). As seen in WWII the Ural Mountains did not hinder the Russians from getting to Germany and that is when Germany had a lot of power and allies. Poland has basically no support since it is right next to Germany and France. They will block all support and with Russia attacking along with Germany Poland will stand no chance. I say it will be a matter of months or a year to defeat Poland.
You defeated Mexico so they are out! Good job. But now Iraq, you say they are weakened. Sure they may not have numbers but they sure do have training. They have training from who else, America! They beat us in guerrilla tactics with Al-Qaeda and all their bombings. They aren't afraid to die and with this war going on for what is it now, at least 6 years they sure are persistent. With Russia helping them it will only get better. Their morale will get higher and they will fight harder. Iraq will not be easy to beat.
With France on the front lines of your European Campaign they will be a significant target indeed. They again are good fighters, but so is the U.K. The Germans would send a little support but when Russia broke through the U.S. would need to send more troops there instead of Iraq which lets the Russians help the Iraqis with weapons training and more.
You have hinted on how Russia would be easy to defeat in a sea-battle? Russia is a very tactful country and has survived harsh conditions for centuries. The Japanese have had earthquake after earthquake so their country is in disarray. They may seem fine but with their buildings destroyed and their nuclear facilities hindered if Russia could even get over Japan and start bombing(not nuclear) they would be in serious trouble. Though S. Korea is a peninsula in general they don't have the ability to stop Russia, they barely got by in the Korean War even with American help.
I shall wait for your next advance, and so you know Poland is out.
Left in war: U.S., U.K., Russia, France, Japan, S. Korea, Germany, and Iraq.
CAPLlock forfeited this round.
With Russia helping the three main front counties they will push back the UK and US and send them back. As the war continues casualties rise but Russia's help turns into their favor, but the sea battle is going in Japan's and S. Korea's favor. We push the UK to their land and start destroying their cities. Their civilian casualties rise and France and Germany take a charge. They push the UK back farther and farther into their land and the UK loses. The US then sends all naval forces to help Japan and S. Korea. With France and Germany free to fight they send their air forces to support Russia which evens the fight. Iraq is still being fighting Americans though. German and French ground troops go to help Iraq and tip the favor for Iraq.
More Russian troops go to Iraq over turning the US troops sending them out of Iraq. Iraq has time to recover and is able to send little support to help the air forces over Japan and S. Korea. The sea battle is still locked in combat but with all four counties helping the tide will soon turn.
That is all I got, if you have any problems with this scenario please address them in your next argument.
CAPLlock forfeited this round.
As I said UK has failed and almost all support has been sent to stop the US, Japan, and S. Korea. This is where the final assault shall commence.
The navy forces are slowly pushing the Japanese and S. Korean's into a small area but American reinforcements keep coming. With ground troops now going up into Japan and S. Korea the war shall end soon. The U.S though was able to push a few battalions and put them in strategic locations in Japan and S. Korea. With this in mind Iraq and France focus their bombardments on land while Russia and Germany focus on the ships. With navy forces slowly going away they are forced to regroup with American vessels. They are able to do this but suffer major casualties. Their are hundreds of ships on both sides of the fronts but with Japan and S. Korea ships away from their homelands they hope the Americans can hold them off for their counter offensive.
Russians are able to set up their forces in both countries but with their small land mass they got into many skirmishes in both countries. Casualties are high but they are able to hold the Americans and remaining soldiers from both countries off. The ground troops have the countries split in half. They are both trying to find a soft spot in the defenses but with numbers on The Axis side the Americans are slowly being pushed back.
The naval battle starts with hundreds of planes exploding in the air. The ships on both sides take beating but again numbers are on the Axis side. It is a slow but sure victory. As the Japan and S. Korea forces wear thin and reinforcements from the Axis side coming they will be surrounded. American forces try to pull back to get a better area of attack but as the reinforcements come from the north and south they get trapped. The U.S gets reinforcements but the center had already collapsed and the full force of the Axis fell upon them.
The land battle was won in Japan in a matter of weeks. The Russian ships bombarded the land and destroyed the cities. The Americans had no support or anywhere to hide. The planes also destroyed the forests starting fires and killing many soldiers, including their own. The same strategy was used on S. Korea. Casualties are high and the war was over. The Axis prevailed and Russia became the strongest Super Power in the world. With troops low in America they became an easy target for Russia. Russia took over America and their nuke supply theirs and their authority is now in charge who knows what may happen.
If anyone wanted to start a part 2 with me to make an uprising it would be well accepted. I hope this final, not argument but story was to your liking I did my job. I never really could make an argument these last 2 rounds so I tried to make an entertaining story.
Thank you to the viewers who stayed and I hope you agree with the outcome.

If the buzz at the Consumer Electronics Show is any indication of things to come (and it usually is), 2016 is expected to be the year of virtual reality (VR). Much anticipated VR headset launches, announcement of investment in enabling technologies, and developments of optimized components made virtual reality the words on everyone's lips at CES2016 in Las Vegas.
The new IDTechEx Research report on the topic of smartglasses, AR & VR Smartglasses and Functional Contact Lenses 2016-2026, discusses the growth expected in the space for VR headsets, which the report finds are expected to already be shipping in volumes of over 10,000,000 units by 2019.
Microdisplays, initially developed for large screen projectors found a perfectly matching application in head mounted displays. When Google Glass launched in 2013, it integrated a reflective, near-eye Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) display based on an LCoS chip from Himax Display.
There are several suppliers of liquid crystal microdisplays that are currently available and have been integrated in different headsets. Kopin's transmissive LCD on single crystal silicon transistors has been utilized in smartglasses from Vuzix and Recon, as well as in the company's own brand headset, the Solos. Devices based on ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCoS for short), having made a wide impact on applications as diverse as optical correlation and holographic projection, are also of interest here, as they are inherently faster switching than other liquid crystals.
For more detailed information on suppliers, microdisplay technology comparisons and benchmarking, profiles of the most significant players and market forecasts in the space for AR and VR smartglasses read the new IDTechEx report AR & VR Smartglasses and Functional Contact Lenses 2016-2026.

Thank you for all the improvements I have seen in my daughter in just the first month of her attendance. [She] comes home with a desire to learn and "investigate" everything around her. I am thankful every day for the education she is receiving. KMS Parent, 2013
Primary (Pre-K and Kindergarten)
We are currently enrolling for the 2018-2019 School Year! If you would like to apply to our program, call us at 865.525.6042, or fill out an inquiry form here.
The KMS Primary Program
KMS offers two multi-age Primary classes for preschool and kindergarten-age students from 3-6 years old.
Each class has a maximum of 20 students. Each is guided by an experienced Montessori-certified teacher and an assistant.
Our two Senior Primary Teachers, Valérie Kuentz and Paige Fowler, have over 40 years of combined Montessori teaching experience. For more information about their backgrounds and the rest of our Primary teaching staff, please visit our Faculty/Staff page.
Our Primary classes use an age-appropriate Montessori curriculum that meets and exceeds the kindergarten standards set by the Tennessee Department of Education.
This curriculum combines hands-on Montessori materials and holistic learning activities that together nurture each child's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development.
The curriculum is organized into the following learning areas.
- Practical Life
- Sensorial
- Language (including reading and writing)
- Math
- Science
- Geography and Culture
- Peace Curriculum
Primary students also have 45 minutes of recess each day.
- Art: All aspects of the Montessori curriculum include lessons that involve drawing, coloring, building, and other creative activities. These activities help students learn by engaging all of their senses in the learning process. They also strengthen students' large and small motor skills and nurture their creativity.
- Music Movement, & Dance: All Primary students have 30 minutes of Music, Movement, and Dance each week.
- Spanish: Starting at age 4, all Primary students can choose to participate in our optional after-school Spanish classes.
Montessori for the Kindergarten Year
We strongly encourage all families whose children start Montessori at age 3 or 4 to keep their children at KMS for their kindergarten year.
If a child has already spent one or two years in a Montessori Primary class, the kindergarten year is an amazing experience – one that simply cannot be matched in a traditional kindergarten.
Building on the foundation of their previous year(s), returning kindergarten-age students in a Montessori classroom go far beyond the traditional kindergarten curriculum – working on lessons that the State of Tennessee considers 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd grade work.
Returning kindergarten-age students also build self-confidence and leadership skills by mentoring and teaching the younger children.
As a result, the Montessori kindergarten year is both the culmination of the Primary experience and a great foundation for future learning – wherever a child goes next.

£23m of London parking tickets may have been unlawful
A BBC investigation has learned that that almost 350,000 parking fines (totalling £23m) might have been issued unlawfully to London motorists. The investigation will be screen on Inside Out, on BBC1 London at 7.30pm on Monday, and will be viewable on iPlayer afterwards.
It all hinges on a ticket that was issued in a suspended parking bay in Camden, where the council didn't have authorization for the signage. The sleuths at the Beeb have learned that 14 councils still have no authorisation for the signage. Which is a bit embarrassing.
In a stunning piece of loopholery, it seems that the Department for Transport (DfT) designs road signs for most situations, which authorities must use, but it has never produced a suspended parking bay sign. If no sign is set out by the DfT, the law says councils must ask the transport secretary to authorise their own creations.
The aforementioned 14 councils have no authorisation for their own versions of the signs while others didn't get authorisation for years.
The councils with no DfT authorisation for their signs are: Greenwich, Southwark, Westminster, Barnet, Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Ealing, Hillingdon, Kingston-upon-Thames, Merton, Redbridge, Sutton and Waltham Forest.
The following councils received authorisation in 2010 or after: Camden, Islington, Hackney, Lambeth, Harrow, Wandsworth, Havering, Barking and Dagenham, Brent, Newham, Hounslow, Lewisham and Haringey.
Essentially, if you've received a ticket relating to a suspended parking bay from one of those councils, you could have a strong case for challenging it. Find out more on Inside Out or by consulting the forums at PePiPoo.

- WongaporkpiesHope Boris Johnson suffers from Saddle Sores then !!!!!!!!!!
- KevinPeople shouldn't have been parking in those places though. Yes people can get off these fines due to little reasons but if people didn't park where they shouldn't and for too long they wouldn't be getting tickets would they. If they'd got authorisation they'd all be valid.
- MichaelBut the point is that without a standaridisation of signs, it makes it difficult for drivers to know where they should and shouldn't park. That's why we have standardised signs - so that people know where the aiport is, the way to the train station and what parking restrictions are in place. Without that, the signs may as well be written by a local art student dicking about with some traffic cones - and they would carry just as much legal weight. Call me old fashioned, but I believe that people who are being paid a not inconsiderable amount of public money should be doing their jobs - and that includes ensuring that what they do is legal.

When I was coming up with our lunches for the week, I asked if the girls wanted macaroni and cheese for lunch one day. They said yes, of course.
The way I do it is if we make a meat heavy breakfast (omelette, for example) then I will do a no-meat lunch.
Anyways, when I asked, Bre said "We should do Nevaeh's awesome macaroni and cheese". I was already looking up some ideas when I stumbled upon a baked recipe. I asked Nevaeh what all her recipe had in it and she said, in true kid fashion, "I dunno… Sour cream". Well, child, I was already looking at a sour cream baked mac -n- cheese recipe so there ya go!
Here is what we came up with. Hope you enjoy the melt in your mouth-ness of Nevaeh's macaroni and cheese.
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Once your noodles are boiled to soft, drain and place in the container you are putting in the oven. Add a bag of cheddar cheese and three tablespoons of butter to the noodles.
Next, add 1/2 cup sour cream, three eggs, 2 tbsp. flour, and 1 cup milk together. Stir until combined, then add to the noodle mixture and mix even better than before. It should look like this before going in the oven:
Cook for 37 minutes and it will turn out like this once you dish it:
- 1/2 bag elbow noodles
- 1 (12 oz) bag cheddar cheese
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Boil noodles. Once soft, drain and place into baking dish. Add cheddar cheese and butter.
- In a separate bowl, add the remaining ingredients, mix until thoroughly combined.
- Pour sour cream mixture into noodle mix and combine well. Place in oven for 37 minutes (give or take).
- Once done, let cool slightly and enjoy!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) is my only description of the wheel hub I bought off a Momo dealer on ebay.
Following issues;
914 VDM horn contact ring won't fit correctly,
hub spline is too thick,hub nut not fully on column shaft thread,
hub earths on steering column,without spacer on shaft.
Contacted the seller and he claims to have stated the stock horn contact ring may not fit in his auction,nothing to that effect,checked it,its so far out the cancel piece is a long way out from being centre on the RH side.
No where on the box is "made in Italy",the instructions say so but these could be easily copied,really thinking its a Chinese "knock off",anyone had this issue.
Vent over ok...anyone else had this issue.

Is that a solid mount? I don't think Momo has made those in many years. You may have a counterfeit.

I recently bought an NRG shift knob. Their official site call out a number of known bad actor ebay sellers that counterfeit.
Sad that these dickwads are out there but we all have to be careful.

Thanks mate ,I think that's what I have,the return email was less that happy from the seller...like he had been caught out,too late to lodge a complaint on the auction as the pic I used was only a test fit and I put my stock wheel back on,live and learn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) .
My original wheel removed to give my long legs some room with the smaller aftermarket wheel ;
Its just not hard to see its poorly made,atleast without adding spacer I had the horn sounding without contact ring until the fuse was pulled ....says it all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .
Arne this is adaptor #8002 and as far I know the only one offer for later 914's.

Ebay has a ton of Momo and other brand steering wheels and such shipping from China. I don't know if it's all fakes or downgraded Chinese market stuff. With so much manufacturing being sent to China it's hard to tell these days.
I know Spal has a Chinese factory now. And all aluminum radiators/condensers/heaters are made in China.

FWIW; Mark Morrissey (Early S Registry) is the author of an article regarding a rare MOMO wheel for 000 Magazine. He is a respected steering wheel expert. I'm sure he'd give us all an earful about what's out here for sale.

I thought that new hubs had to be collapsible, not solid anymore. The hub for my MOMO wheel is that type and I bought it years ago.

George I did see anything else other than the solid #8002 listed on Ebay for the 914,I notice the front of the hub around the spline has no machined face where the the nut and washer go ,that would explain why the nut won't thread fully on.
I'am going to open up the hole where the horn wire goes so I can get the horn contact ring fitting closer to the 3 o'clock position.
Now have little doubt it is a "knock off'' the more I look @ it.

That's deplorable. I believe several folks here have had a rotten experience when dealing with Ebay at one time or another. I don't mind paying a few $$ more when dealing with Amazon because they will take anything back. Ebay should change their act and get off their ever loving arses and do a little house cleaning.

Buying on Amazon is only safer than eBay if you're actually buying FROM Amazon corporate.
If you're buying from an Amazon seller, you're getting the same stuff that's on eBay, but paying two to five times the price. If it's something like USB cables or little electronics from China, you might as well check the reviews on Amazon and then buy the exact same item directly from an eBay seller in China or Taiwan. The item might have a different brand name, but you can tell by the appearance if it's the same item or not.

I would be suspect of anything being sold from China. Buy used or NOS if you can. momo has the date stamp on the back. I have the solid mount I bought off ebay about 6 years ago. No issues with fit. My wheel I bought over 10 years ago from ebay in Japan. Seen many ads from the seller over the years. He sells a lot of wheels. I love the 350mm size. Perfect for stalk controls and arm rest distance. The car came with a 320mm and it was too small. Picked up a matching momo shift knob.

It's bad out there right now. There is even Chinese counterfeits of Chinese made parts. Fakes are looking closer and closer to real parts. This is more than industry wide. Counterfeits can be found in every market.

And it's a sad day for the consumer getting ripped off by the counterfeiters / the rightful mfg is getting ripped off by Ebay as well. In my (MSDS inc."mfg ") recent legal experiences trying to get EBay to "Take down " counterfeiter ads that are selling bad copies of our exhausts ...Ebay denies any wrong doing by it's legal department in keeping counterfeiters in check. Our attorney has provided " Cease and desist " settlement documents signed by the culprits, and EBay still won't pull their sales listings. The sweet spot here is Money, you see; EBay makes commission off of each sale ...they really don't care if you legally have any rights (IPR, trademark, etc.) or not to a given product...Ebay will collect sales commissions and tell the honest folk to go fly a kite. Yes it happens to Momo wheels too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

My son has a bit of a side business dealing in classic wheels. Thanks to him I've replaced my newer Prototipos with ones from the 70's - the older wheels weigh more, and there is a slight bit of noticeable flex in the newer ones when installed that you can't feel in the older ones. Momo reportedly has also moved to stamped leather grain in place of top grain leather.
As for date stamping, I believe Momo didn't start date stamping their wheels until well into the '70s.
Cheap hubs from China are prevalent and junk, if not unsafe...

Genetic search for optimal personalized location areas for future pcs networks
Document Type
In Personal Communication Services (PCS) networks, mobile terminals (MT) are communicating frequently using a variety of services. A high-quality framework is needed for tracking consistently MTs in the system and delivering the services timely. Future PCS networks are expected to have smaller cells to address the transmission power concerns and reuse frequencies efficiently. Thus, MTs are expected to signal even more frequently under always update (AU) strategy adopted in current PCS networks, such as GSM . One pathway for solving the problem is the consideration of Location Areas (LA). The location update takes place only when the MT moves off the area. For call delivery the area is paged. Thus, another signaling component is introduced. In this paper, we propose the design of personalized LA's (PLAs) per an individual user. The model we use takes into account the MT's behavior in the network and the system parameters. The problem is known to be NP-complete of a high computational complexity. We provide a proof of the complexity and solve the problem by using the genetic search for finding a sub-optimal solution. It is shown that the cost of location management under the model and the designed search algorithm can be significantly lower than that consumed by AU mechanism.

Bunny Not Okayed Any Film Yet
Many news are being circulated about Allu Arjun's films, various hit combinations are being reported. Truth is that he has not given nod to any movie yet.Even though he has in theory agreed to act in director Vikram Kumar's next film, the final script has not been prepared.
The latest information from Bunny's camp is that it would take another month to get clarity on when the star would announce his film officially.Bunny's father Allu Aravind recently informed the media that Allu Arjun may begin his next in October if everything works out in place.Films in the combination of Trivikram and director Surender Reddy are in early stages of discussion, they are not officially confirmed yet.
All in all, Allu Arjun is taking it slow to decide about his films.As Ram Charan had delivered mega blockbuster with 'Rangasthalam', the equations in mega family and star rankings have been changed. Now Ram Charan has gone up the ladder.
So, Allu Arjun is taking extra care for his next movies.

I love taking photos, it's as simple as that...
My first camera was a 35mm Cosina, well actually, my first camera was my brothers Cosina – stolen! He was given it for his 13th birthday, so obviously, me being a curious younger sister I wanted to know what it was all about and within a year I had successfully nabbed it as my own. I used that sturdy little camera to see me through all of my educational qualifications and it wasn't until I had finished my photography BA(Hons) that I switched my kit over to digital – but Ive never looked back.
I love taking pictures of people. I love to chat, to be silly and to have fun. Im one of those photographers that sees a shot and doesn't shy away from getting into the right position to shoot it – if I need to climb on something or lay down then Ill do it! I love to see the world from different perspectives, so meeting different people, hearing their stories, learning from them and getting to know them is fascinating to me.
I find the world and people in it so beautiful, and I feel honoured to be asked to be there at people's special occasions and capture it for them.
Flash you later x
