Our business focuses primarily in West Java Grade 1 / Specialty Arabica Green Coffee Beans. The definition of Specialty Grade 1 according to SCAA Arabica Coffee Classification: no primary defects, 0-3 full defects, sorted with a maximum of 5% above and 5% below specified screen size or range of screen size, and exhibiting a distinct attribute in one or more of the following areas: taste, acidity, body, or aroma.
Javanero works closely with a small group of farmers of West Java highlands, located between 1,300-1,500m above sea level, who are dedicated to cultivate Arabica coffee trees and to pick the ripe coffee cherries by hands. Our coffee wet-processing facility is located in the village of Gamboeng, about 40km south of the City of Bandung, West Java.
In our wet processing, the outer skin of the coffee cherry is removed immediately after harvesting using a mechanical pulper, which "pick" or scrape away just the very outer layer of the cherry, leaving behind the parchment coffee covered in sticky mucilage.

It was an interesting challenge because you start the writing process effectively already knowing your plot. I kept wanting to end the story in all sorts of different ways, and had to remind myself that it wasn't my plot to change! Considering the original story is a few lines long, I found it surprisingly hard to stick to 1000 words as well. Nevertheless, I enjoy challenges like this. (One of my favourite published pieces was a flippant re-telling of Sleeping Beauty over at Everyday Fiction.) It was a great way for me to get back into writing.
As only the winning story is going to be published, I offer you my story below. I hope you enjoy it!
Walking Home
"I can't believe you're doing this." I dig my fingers into Mark's shoulders. "Pretty sure breaking and entering is illegal you know?"
"Quit your whining, Speedy Gonzalez." Mark shifts me further up his back. "I said I'd get us in, didn't I?"
"I thought you meant you'd get us tickets. Not that you'd leave my wheelchair in a dark alley and drag me in through a toilet window."
"There aren't any tickets." Mark is panting as he heaves me along the dim corridor. "And you saw that queue. There's no way we're getting in tonight."
I don't bother pointing out that if this guy – a street magician or whatever he claims to be – is as amazing as everyone says, then he'd hardly be doing a gig in a place like this. Somebody who could cure cancer for real would be doing a stadium tour at 50 quid a head, not one night in a grotty pub with free entry. I don't bother saying it because I've said it before. Many times.
Mark has spent all week trying to persuade me to come tonight. I wanted nothing to do with it. After my post-graduation lads' holiday to Ibiza went so disastrously wrong a decade ago, I grew sick of people trying to cure me. The doctors all agreed then that I'd never walk again, so it irritates me when people tell me to take folic acid or drink kale smoothies – as if I'm pregnant or prone to colds, not paralysed. The only reason I'd given in to Mark in the end was because I owed him. When all my other mates drifted away – when I pushed them away in the bitterness of After The Accident – he hung on. While I made everyone else's life hell, he took the blows and kept calling. And until now, he'd never tried to cure me.
"This is mad." I glance around for security cameras. "Can't we just go for a pint?"
"We're here now." Mark stops outside a grey door. "Might as well see this guy."
My irritation at Mark is replaced by a sudden fear. It isn't the fear of getting caught sneaking in the back though. It's the fear that Mark might be right. This guy we've come to see, I'm sure he's a conman. He must be. And yet I can still hear that tiny whisper of what if at the back of my mind. What if he can heal me? And what if he refuses? What if he looks at me and realises that I'm not the victim of a tragic accident but entirely to blame for my trouble? What if he knows I put my parents through hell and he decides I'm not worthy of health? It's better to be a hopeless case than an unworthy one.
Before I can stop him, Mark pushes on the door. The space it reveals on opening is tiny. 40 or 50 people stand pressed together, all eyes fixed on the far end of the room where a man stands on a chair. 40 or 50 pairs of eyes watching him; one pair of eyes – his eyes – watching something else. Watching me.
One by one the crowd begins to turn, trying to see what the Man is looking at.
"Let's go," I hiss in Mark's ear. "Before they lynch us for queue-jumping."
Mark stands his ground.
"John." The Man speaks my name softly, yet the silence amplifies it in the expectant room. "I'm glad you could come."
He jumps from his chair and edges his way through the crowd towards me, only stopping when he's within touching distance. For an entertainer, if that's what he is, he has made little effort with his appearance. There is nothing remarkable about him – nothing you'd remember the next day. Nothing and yet somehow, everything.
"You came to talk about Ibiza," he says.
"No." I shake my head. This has to be some sort of set-up by Mark. Some sick joke.
"It's OK." The Man smiles. "You're forgiven."
"No," I say again. Set-up or not, I have a sudden mad urge to make him understand what I feel he already somehow understands. "I can't be. It was my fault. I was drunk. I was an idiot and I..."
"I know." Another smile. "You're right. It was your fault." A shrug. "You're forgiven anyway."
"Brilliant." A woman in the crowd rolls her eyes. "Matey here obviously can't walk or something and you're telling him he's been forgiven? Big deal. Why don't you actually heal him if you're so clever?"
The Man's eyes slide from my face to the crowd. He laughs. "My friend here tells me it's easier to heal the past than to heal a broken back. Is she right?" His eyes fix back on mine. "Is she right?"
I don't know what to say.
The Man turns from me. "Go home, John."
Out in the corridor, Mark eases me to the floor and sits down beside me. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know he was going to be that weird. I wouldn't have brought you if..." His voice trails off. "I didn't know you knew him."
"Knew him?"
"Yeah." Mark glances at me than back at the floor. "That stuff about Ibiza." He shakes his head. "You were right. He's just a weirdo."
"No." I wait for Mark to look at me. "He's not that. Or at least, he's not only that."
I can feel he is more than that. I can feel it in my head and hands and heartbeat. I can feel it in my legs.
"Let me drive you home." Mark stands as people begin to spill from the room we've just left, filling the corridor around us. "It's the least I can do."
"I'm OK." I put a hand on Mark's arm. "It's a nice evening." I take a deep breath and slowly, hesitantly begin to pull myself upwards. "I think I'll walk from here."
ENDS - (taken from Mark 2:1-11)

How old must I be to attend Music Camp?
Virginia Camp students must be at least 18 years of age.
Ohio Camp students must be at least 16 years of age.
Ontario Camp adult students must be at least 15 years of age.
What is the cost of attending Music Camp?
Camp fees and material costs are listed on the Virginia Camp Fees , Ohio Camp Fees, and Ontario Camp Fees pages.
Should I have any music training prior to attending?
No previous instruction is necessary. This camp is for anyone who is interested in taking their musical abilities to the next level. The starting place is less important than the desire to learn and the willingness to be taught. Our goal is simply to help each person attending take "the next step" forward in their pursuit of excellence.
What classes should a first-year student take?
We recommend that students begin their music study with Rudiments and Sight Singing alongside choir participation.
How many classes should I plan to take?
Due to homework assignments and the full schedule, we recommend enrolling in two classes. Due to the additional time required for rehearsal, Chamber Choir students may enroll in one class.
Will I have homework?
Homework is a regular requirement of SCMC classes. Because the schedule is full and study time is minimal, campers should plan to use one class period as a regular study period.
May I change my class selections after I've enrolled?
Changes to class selections are permitted until April 1 for Virginia and Ohio Camps and until June 1 for Ontario Camp, after which a $25 fee will be charged. Desired changes should be directed to the appropriate registrar via the Contact Us page. Changes requested by instructors during the camp week will incur no charge.
What choir will I sing in?
SCMC campers participate in both a mixed choir and mass mixed choir. Choir members complete a questionnaire (choir rubric) which guides the process of creating balanced choirs. Students may also participate in the Mass Men's and Mass Women's choirs if they care to do so. See Virginia Choirs, Ohio Choirs, and Ontario Choirs for more details about the choirs.
How do I join the Chamber Choir?
When you complete the Application Form, check the box indicating that you wish to sign up for Chamber Choir and complete and submit the entire form. By the beginning or middle of March, you will receive a letter of acceptance or refusal. Since the Chamber Choir prepares a full repertoire of music, choir members will receive their music approximately 2 months prior to camp week. Chamber Choir members are expected to invest significant personal practice prior to arrival at camp. The Chamber Choir may tour for one week following camp. Applications must be submitted by February 1.
When is the application deadline for Music Camp?
Applications will be accepted through the beginning of camp. However, Virginia and Ohio applications received after April 1 will incur an additional $25 fee to cover additional processing expenses. In Ontario, applications received after June 1 will incur an additional $50 fee. Applications received after May 1 will incur an additional $50 fee. We do not guarantee the availability of books and music for students applying after May 1.
What are my options for lodging?
Lodging for the week is available in area homes Saturday – Saturday at the Virginia Camp and Sunday – Sunday at the Ohio Camp. Rustic cabins are also available at the Virginia Camp. Lodging before or after these dates may be arranged upon request.
Fees are stated on the Virginia Camp Fees, Ohio Camp Fees, and Ontario Camp Fees pages.
If you prefer, you may arrange your own lodging.
Does Music Camp have dress code requirements?
Yes. Please refer to the Dress Code page.
If your questions are not answered on this page, please feel free to contact us for further help.


text: Hi there, folks! I'm pretty new to the who 'ROM' scene as a whole, and I've been trying to find information on Cheating programs for NDS ROMs on the G6 Lite...trying being the operative word there. Ya see, even though I've been able to find tons of posts all across the 'net talking about how great or how stupid Dipstar is for the G6 Lite, I can't seem to find any sort of coherent, sensible guides on how to use it. To be honest, though, I'd be extremely happy to find anything I could use. Dipstar Troubles Quite honestly, Dipstar was going to be my first choice in terms of cheating goodness simply because the makers of the G6 Lite state very clearly, and I do quote, that the "Dipstar Cheat Engine works flawless on G6." They then go on to provide two links; one that is supposedly meant to provide some form of instruction and another to download Dipstar itself. Right off the bat, the first link doesn't send me anywhere where I can find instructions or even anything that might remotely resemble instructions. Instead, it sends me HERE, a junk page that's of no use to anyone. Huzzah. After discovering how worthless that was, I chose to download the .zip in the hopes that it might have instructions. It does...but not only is it in broken English, but it's also for users of the M3 Game Manager. After downloading that and trying it their way, I've since found that the M3 GM is apparently incompatible with the G6 Lite, and if it's not...then there's something wrong with the file I snagged from the G6 folks. Yet another rousing 'huzzah'. My search for a guide that didn't make me want to punch babies is one of the reasons I'm here, actually. I happened to stumble upon THIS thread and began to praise all the deities in the book...until I really began to read it. ...now wait just a bloody second. M3dip.exe? That wasn't in my .zip file!! Argh! So it seems even with this fellah's rehashing of another well written Dipstar Guide I'm lost all because I don't have some .exe. Bah! The thing here is that I'm not sure why I don't have it. I've tried searching for the 5.11 Dipstar file via Google and that's gotten me nowhere at all! Can anyone help me figure this out?

The La Crescent, La Crosse, Onalaska, and Campbell fire departments will be participating in the "Keep The Wreath Green" campaign.
From November 23 through January 1, the participating fire departments decorate a wreath with green lights. For every structure fire responded to in the aforementioned communities, the fire departments will change one green light to red.
There is also a constant clear bulb on at all times to honor service members and troops over seas.
Fire activity tends to increase around the holidays. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day usually see an average increase of 40% to 50% in home kitchen fires respectively. Lieutenant Shane Trussing of the La Crosse Fire Department says, "Being careful with baking and cooking. Just fire safety in general, but especially with all the baking that goes on over the holiday season. There's a dramatic increase of kitchen fires and structure fires over the holiday season."
This campaign promotes awareness and dangers of home fires over the holiday season with the goal of keeping the wreath green.

Kovacevich "25 percent off Winter Sale" — Bullish on Banks, Wells Fargo & Co(NYSE:WFC)
Former Wells Fargo & Co(NYSE:WFC) CEO and Chairman, Dick Kovacevich who previously held executive positions at Citicorp, General Mills and Norwest, believes the rest of the world has issues and that they don't yet apply to the United States. There is a risk of a recession in the US but he doesn't believe there will be one. He is bullish on US Banks. In an interview on CNBC he shared some interesting comments.
On Bank Stocks
"I don't think there is a great worry of impairment unless there is a very very long and serious recession."
He pointed out that Banks are selling for 10 times earnings with 2.5 to 3 percent dividends, relatively to rest of the market cheap. He has a ton of Wells Fargo and bought even more yesterday because they are having their 25 percent off winter sale.
He wouldn't go so far as to endorse Deutsche Bank AG (USA)(NYSE:DB) saying matter of frankly, "He wouldn't", when asked if he would buy the German lender.
Kovacevich comments on heels of Jamie Dimon making a more than $25 million dollar bet on JPMorgan Chase & Co.(NYSE:JPM).
The JPMorgan CEO made a purchase of over $26 million, bringing his overall holdings to 7.79 million shares valued over $415 million in personal and family accounts.
Are you bullish on U.S. Banks?

The dwarf titanosaur, Virgultasaurus minimus, is a small titanosaur, measuring 4 meters (13 feet) long, from the Granitic Seychelles forests and is a smaller relative of the Madagascan titanosaur, from The New Dinosaurs: An Alternative Evolution.
The amount of plants available on an island leads to restrictions in the sizes of the plant-eating animals. Dwarf titanosaurs live among the coconut palms of the seashore and in the ferny undergrowth beneath the oaks and pines further inland on the Seychelles. They feed on the undergrowth and the leaves of the low-growing vegetation. Unlike their larger relatives, the dwarf titanosaur is not a gregarious animal. It lives in small groups of two or three rather than in large herds. The group can move quite quickly through the thickets, long necks waving, when faced with an agile predator like the dwarf megalosaur. The body of the dwarf titanosaur needs smaller legs to support it, but the head is as large as that of a conventional titanosaur, and so it looks proportionally large. Dwarf animals are not unique to these islands. Dwarf forms of other large animals live on other islands in the oceans of the world, where a group of animals has become separated from the mainland population. It often happens that the isolated population has no meat-eaters to attack the adults among its numbers. Under these circumstances small and swiftly moving plant-eating animals may develop into large slow-moving forms, there being no need for speed to escape danger while they are mature. On an island, therefore, there may be dwarf species of large vertebrate animals, living beside giant species of small vertebrate animals.

Validating the already proven claims of thousands of diabetics who have filed Actos lawsuits, a study to be published in a British Diabetic Association journal affirms the link between taking the type-2 diabetes prescription drug and being exposed to an increased risk of bladder cancer.
For several years in this meta-analysis of six Actos studies, Saudi Arabia-based researchers used electronic databases to track more than 200,000 patients who were taking pioglitazone, which is the generic name for the Takeda drug. The median time of follow-up with the patients was slightly more than three and a half years of taking the drug.
The incidence of bladder cancer showed, as a summary of the findings reads, "Pioglitazone use is associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer." Indeed Actos patients experienced a "significantly higher" bladder cancer risk than did diabetics whose treatment did not include Actos.
Pharmaceutical injury attorneys nationwide have Actos lawsuit clients who could, alas, welcome the newest bladder cancer patients in this analysis to their long-suffering "club."
An Actos side effect has done a lot of damage, and the manufacturer should have known about the drug's increased bladder cancer risk and should have informed regulators, health care professionals and potential patients.
Who knows? If federal decision makers had known pre-market what they know now, which should be the case, Actos might not have been approved for the U.S. drug market so soon. Patients, therefore, would have been able to avert the heightened risk of bladder cancer.
Actos tablets were approved in 1999. It was not until 2011 that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, acting on its own "planned five-year interim analysis of an ongoing, 10-year epidemiological study," approved "updated drug labels for the pioglitazone-containing medicines to include safety information that the use of pioglitazone for more than one year may be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer."
The FDA concluded, "The five-year results showed that although there was no overall increased risk of bladder cancer with pioglitazone use, an increased risk of bladder cancer was noted among patients with the longest exposure to pioglitazone, and in those exposed to the highest cumulative dose of pioglitazone."
It was vital information that more diligent pre-market science might have uncovered, notwithstanding the extent to which the product's FDA approval might have been delayed.
Although there have been dueling studies, the aforementioned analysis — one of the newest founts of epidemiological truth — nourishes the cause of the only people who count. They are the Actos victims whose avoidable bladder cancer is represented statistically but is suffered immeasurably.
They deserve compensation.
Anyone else who has been taking Actos and has been diagnosed with bladder cancer also may be entitled to compensation. Pharmaceutical injury attorneys who have the unique experience and skill in handling such oft-intricate litigation can be an asset in this regard.
Reich & Binstock has Actos attorneys who are distinguished by their proven track record, and they offer free consultations to patients whose bladder cancer may be related to taking Actos. Reich & Binstock may be reached by an electronic request for free legal advice through its Web site, www.reichandbinstock.com, or toll-free at 1-866-LAW-2400.

Title: "Skating the Line: A Narrative Inquiry-Based Study of Former Figure Skaters' Tensions in their Sport"
Chair: Prof Janis McKenna (Physics)
Research Supervisor: Prof Robert Sparks (Kinesiology)
Research Co-Supervisor: Prof Larena Hoeber (University of Regina, Kinesiology and Health Studies)
University Examiners: Prof Laura Hurd Clarke (Kinesiology), Prof Susan Cox (Population and Public Health)
External Examiner: Prof Mary Louise Adams (School of Kinesiology and Health Studies, Queen's University)
Abstract: Figure skaters skate a fine line as they navigate pressures to execute physically demanding, technical skills while maintaining the aesthetics of movements, appearance, and musicality. These conditions along with embedded narratives of success and performance affect the experiences of every competitive figure skater. As a former figure skater and coach, in this research, I explore the experiences of figure skaters and the inherent tensions they endure (Clandinin, Murphy, Huber, & Orr, 2009).
Integrating theories and methods from organizational culture and narrative inquiry, my research explores the experiences of athletes within the culture of high performance figure skating. I recruited seven former figure skaters (four female and three male) who had competed at a Senior Competitive level in Canada. The research followed three guiding questions:
• What tensions do former figure skaters identify in relation to their experience as high-performance figure skaters?
• How are these tensions related to the organizational culture of figure skating?
• How do participants reflect on these tensions over time?
Using artifacts to elicit conversations and reflections, I completed three to four interviews with each participant. I present their stories in a variety of narrative formats to better capture the feel of the interviews and their lived experiences. The figure skaters experienced multiple tensions across their careers as they embraced the lifestyle of a skater and during transitions away from the sport. Tensions included monitoring bodies, an overriding emphasis on competitions and winning, and the importance of music, choreography, and appearance in their overall performance as elite figure skaters. While many tensions were taken-for-granted as being a high-performance athlete, once removed from the sport, participants became aware of the sacrifices they had made and how some aspects of the culture had influenced their mental health and well-being.
A critical analysis of the normalized aspects of the sport revealed an emphasis on performance deeply embedded across all levels of figure skating's organizational culture (Schein, 2010). The dissertation highlights how participants became part of the problematic culture, accepting its localized terms and conditions which in turn served to reinforce and re-create the culture's dominant values and norms (Alvesson, 2013; Smircich, 1983).

I may be redefining the steps to my journey, but here is a small list of things I no longer miss. Sometimes it is just good to know where you were and where you are now, and for sure, where you will never be again! Thanks, Jen B. for reminding me this morning of where I was to where I am today. Your insight and reflection opened my eyes!
For those who have been overweight, who are overweight, or have every wondered what being overweight is like, this list is just some of the life experiences I will never welcome back.
- feeling ugh – you know, when you're sitting down in the car and your belly is sitting peacefully on your lap. My lap was made for my babies' when cuddling, a solid place to clap my hands when playing, and not for my extra rolls to take a nap. No more looking down and feeling ugh!
- chafing thighs – no longer will I carry a small bottle of baby powder in my purse to dust up in the ladies' room during hot summer days out. The small red rash is no more. Ya, these thighs may never be permanently apart, but the room they share with one another has down sized and the leg lifts have proved to be worth it! See ya!
- back fat – I once tried to squeeze up to the podium during a training session, sucking in my gut to fit between a male Store Manager up against the wall and the chair I was vacating. As he put up his hand to guide me, his hand hit my back. I could feel the excess skin and fat giggle on my back. A feeling I will honest never forget. My back fat is just two little minor indents now, no longer holding real estate under my bra strap. Bye!
- lifeless lingerie – now this one is not so much a physical result but definitely something that switched in my head about 12 months ago. I never understood sexy lingerie. I mean, what's the point if in moments it just ends up in a ball rolled up on the floor? But, there is something very womanly, very feminine, very liberating in getting in touch with the goddess in you. I was once white bras and Froot of the Loom underwear. Now, I am black lace, red bodice, purple straps and sexy-inspired under-wear. For no other reason than to look how I truly feel inside. My cotton panties make their way back for those days that I need a little comfort, but I rarely get ready without lacing up and taking a quick peak in the mirror and honouring the changing body staring back at me. I am beautiful, every step and every stretch mark along the way!
- wondering if I'll fit – man oh man! What a terrifying, take-your-breath-away moment when you are faced with a situation and you don't know if you'll fit. When going through my Personal Training certification, I was the only one who was/has gone through life overweight. As me and the other five perfectly fit and slim trainers-to-be entered the gym for demonstration training, I piped up (often as I do!) and asked, "What if the client can't fit into the seated leg press?". The looks I got from the others was terrifying. Can't fit? Ya!!! Can't fit. You know, the opposite of ease and grace. Trying to smoosh yourself into something that was clearing not made for your body is really one of the most debilitating moments of anyone's life. While I may be faced with a few more of those moments, they are not as frequent as they were! I can say I confidently recognize my shrinking size and I am happy to know my limits.
- plus size stores – nothing more to say!
- that my kids' lives where happening without me – I remember time and time again, I would be the parent on the bench, focus not on the play yard but on my phone, not participating. Being the parent that would seem involved but not! Well, as things have changed, my perception has. I am now the parent (and really, the ONLY parent), that has her swimsuit on in the splash pad playing with her kids. I have been to three pads this week alone and I was it. Parents need to turn to their children and mirror how they live life – active, moving, exploring, taking their time to discover. My kids lives are now happening with me as a participant and student and I love it. So much to gain from their way of living, it has been eye-opening at what I have missed.
Just a little reflection as my week starts out great! I am looking forward to so much over the course of the next stage in my journey and will continue to share honestly, and often as I am motivated daily by all of you who continue to read and reflect!
Happy Monday.

Pat Perez birdied his first hole of the year at Waialae on Thursday, but carded two bogeys en route to an opening round 72 at the Sony Open.
Perez started on No. 10, hitting his tee shot 320 yards to the front left green side bunker and his second shot 88 feet to the green, setting up the five-foot birdie putt.
From there, five consecutive pars with Perez's best look at birdie coming on the par-four fourteenth—a 17-footer that rank two feet long after hitting his tee shot 297 yards to the right rough and his second shot 154 yards to the green.
The day's first bogey occurred on the par-four sixteenth after Perez failed to knock down a 14-foot par putt—his tee shot going 263 yards to the left rough, setting up a 111-yard second shot to the left fairway.
Perez responded with seven pars in a row, with few birdie looks. A 16-footer on the par-five eighteenth that ran a half foot long and wide, while a 12-footer on the par-four second came up a few feet short. Perez had a good look at a five-footer on the par-for third, but the putt didn't break and rolled two feet long.
The day's final bogey occurred on the par-four sixth after missing a six-foot par putt, but Perez responded with three consecutive pars to close out the opening round at Waialae—another six-foot birdie putt not falling on the par-five ninth.
Perez averaged 285 yards driving distance on the afternoon and was 42.86-percent in driving accuracy, hit 77.78-percent greens-in-regulation, 50-percent in scrambling and was -2.75 in strokes gained putting.
The turnaround for Perez will be a quick one as he'll go off of No. 1 at 7:20 a.m. local time, where he'll again be paired with Marc Leishman and Spencer Levin.

17 Game-Changing Game Of Thrones Fan Theories
*WARNING*: Spoilers up through A Dance With Dragons. You should only click here if you read the books, can't wait for the next seasons, or enjoy wild speculation. BF_STATIC.timequeue.push(function () { if (BF_STATIC.bf_test_mode) localStorage.setItem('posted_date', 1408947496); }); BF_STATIC.timequeue.push(function () { document.getElementById("update_posted_time_3417909").innerHTML = "posted on " + UI.dateFormat.get_formatted_date(1408947496); });
He's the M. Night Shyamalan of killing people unexpectedly. His long-running series A Song of Ice and Fire is filled with deep, expansive plot lines and hidden messages. The first book in the series, A Game of Thrones, was published in 1996, during the fledgling days of internet message boards. But this did not stop fans from gathering and trading an array of theories on what would happen next. Now, 18 years later, the series has become a worldwide phenomenon with the advent of the HBO series Game of Thrones, and the flurry of speculation has reached a peak.
And George R.R. Martin declared in a recent interview with The Telegraph that some of those fan theories are correct. So with such a rich history at our fingertips, let's look at the most awesome, convoluted, twisted, and crazy theories that have come out of this masterpiece.
So let's start off with the fan theory that has been talked about so much, it has its own equation and is pretty much canon at this point. The mystery of Jon Snow's parentage is hardly a mystery at all.
But in order to explain who his parent's are, we have to backtrack a little to the inciting incident for Robert's Rebellion. After winning the Tourney at Harrenhal, the victor, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, surprised everyone when he crowned Lyanna Stark the Queen of Love & Beauty over his own wife. This eventually lead to her abduction by Rhaegar, or, more likely, the two lovebirds running off together.
The two spent months together in the Tower of Joy in northern Dorne. But when the War of the Usurper was finally in full swing, Rhaegar had to leave to go join the fighting, dying on the Trident to Robert's hammer, with Lyanna's name on his lips.
The interesting thing about this though is that, when Rhaegar left the tower, he left three members of the Kingsguard behind to defend it. This doesn't make sense if it was just Lyanna in the tower, as the Kingsguard protect the royal bloodline, not the mistresses of the prince. So it is safe to assume that Rhaegar knocked Lyanna up. Also, continuing on with the theorizing, non-legitimized bastards of the royal bloodline don't normally receive Kingsguard protection. Meaning that our favorite bastard Jon Snow may be no bastard at all, and actually be the trueborn son of Prince Rhaegar and Princess Lyanna.
After the Sack of King's Landing, Eddard rode to raise the Siege of Storm's End, and from there rode with seven companions to the Tower of Joy. Defeating the three Kingsguard cost everyone except Ned and Howland Reed their lives. Ned found Lyanna in a "bed of blood" and she made him promise her something, something that would haunt him for the rest of his life. The "bed of blood" may refer to a maternity bed, one in which Jon was just born. The promise may have been for Ned to care for Jon, and to keep his Targaryen heritage a secret. Robert and Tywin were on a little bit of a murdering spree at that point when it came to Targaryens.
And to top it off, when David Benioff and D.B. Weiss met with George R.R. Martin to discuss adapting the books for HBO, they were given a question to see if they were actual fans. That question was about Jon Snow's parentage, and they got it right. So, that means that we have all of the evidence that we need in only the first four books. Now all we need is someone to make it to Greywater Watch and meet with Howland Reed, the only living person who knows what happened at the Tower of Joy.
Probability: Thirteen Blue Winter Roses out of Ten Dented, Ruby-Encrusted Breastplates
2. The Wall was built by the White Walkers.
This theory comes from an off-hand comment by George R.R. Martin at an event where he stated that White Walkers use magical ice as weapons, and are able to do many other things with it as well. The ice of the Wall is magical, incredibly dense, and said to have a life of its own.
This lead to an explosion of theories, such as the White Walkers built the Wall to keep men out of the north because of the proliferation of weapons that could kill them. During the Long Night, the First Men and The Children of the Forest discovered that dragonglass (obsidian) and dragonsteel (Valyrian steel) were able to kill the Others. Obsidian was available in abundance at places such as Dragonstone, while Valyrian steel was not nearly as rare then as it is at the present. So, the theory goes, the White Walkers fled north to the Land of Always Winter and built the Wall to deter men from following. The Night's Watch only took up residence afterwards, tunneling the gates, building their castles, and adding enchantments to the existing wall.
This theory could also be supported by a quote from Samwell in A Feast for Crows, where he says, "The oldest histories we have were written after the Andals came to Westeros. The First Men only left us runes on rocks, so everything we know about the Age of Heroes and the Dawn Age and the Long Night comes from accounts set down by septons thousands of years later. There are archmaesters at the Citadel who question all of it."
Other theories include the White Walkers built the Wall as a Trojan Horse, and are able to either disenchant it, or possibly even destroy it.
Probability: Not a White Walker's Chance in the Doom of Valyria
3. Patchface is a prophet of the Drowned God.
The shipwreck that claimed the lives of Robert, Stannis, and Renly's parents had only one survivor, a sharp-witted jester named Patchface that the Baratheons had bought while in Essos. The man who washed up days later on the shore and was changed and had become a halfwit from a supposed lack of oxygen.
He becomes a companion to Stannis's daughter and speaks in seemingly nonsensical rhymes. However, these inane words seem to have a prophetic nature, foretelling events such as the Red Wedding and the Frey Pie incident.
Drowning and coming back to life is a major part of the religion of the Drowned God, the deity of the Iron Islands, and many of his prophecies begin with the phrase, "Under the sea," perhaps referring to the land of the dead.
Probability: Seven Disney-Themed Prophecies out of Ten
4. Syrio is alive/is Jaqen H'ghar.
The supposed end of Arya's beloved dancing master happens off-page and off-screen in both the book and the show, lending a glimmer of credence to this theory.
The idea that Syrio is Jaqen H'ghar, the criminal that Arya saves, comes from the unlikeliness of a Faceless Man being captured and thrown into the black cells. These assassins can change their appearance and are highly skilled, paid immense fortunes for the killing of even someone as lowly as a merchant. Jaqen's skill is clearly shown when he is able to infiltrate Harrenhal during wartime, kill three people, and escape without anyone even considering his involvement. Petyr Baelish comments to Ned Stark, saying that if they hired a Faceless Man to kill Daenarys, she would have been dead for sure, and she is in the middle of the greatest Khalasar and is its Khaleesi.
What this theory purports is that Syrio/Jaqen escapes his fight with Meryn Trant, and afterwards heads down to the black cells, kills the original Jaqen, and locks himself inside in order to be picked up by the Night's Watch. This would also account for the murderous Rorge and Biter's fear of Jaqen. Seeing him break into the black cells, kill a man, and then change into that man would be enough to freak anyone out. Jaqen's intense interest in 'Arry/Arya before he had even met her, his revealing his true identity as a Faceless Man to her, and his gift of passage to Braavos would also be explained by this.
The main problem with this theory is, if Syrio is Jaqen, what was he doing training Arya in King's Landing? Faceless Men are assassins and only leave the temple to fulfill a contract. He could have been using his training of Arya to get close to someone, such as her father, but it is unknown, and may never be known.
Probability: Four Wishful Thinkings out of Ten
5. Melisandre will heal/bring Jon back from the dead.
A Song of Ice and Fire has already shown the restorative power of the Red God is indeed strong. Beric Dondarrion was brought back to life numerous times by Thoros of Myr, as well as a long-dead Catelyn Stark. The red priest that Victarion finds is able to heal his wounded, infected hand, making it stronger than it was before (as well as looking extremely badass).
With a significant number of wildlings still at Castle Black, numerous Queensmen, and and any members of the Night's Watch still loyal to Jon, it should be a snap to recover his body and have it brought to Melisandre. And let's not forget Jon's warging power which means he is able to store his consciousness in Ghost until his body is healed, similar to other skinchangers such as Haggon, Orell, and Varamyr. This would also hopefully prevent the loss of memory and humanity that we see in others who have been resurrected, namely Lady Stoneheart.
Probability: Seven Mutineers' Stab Wounds out of Ten
6. Cersei will be killed by Jaime.
Cersei is screwed up in the head in many ways, but a single incident from her youth haunts her and drives her to commit many of these otherwise insane acts. When she was a young girl, she and a friend had their fortunes told by an old eastern witch named Maggy the Frog. Cersei's prophecy was that she would marry a king, who would father sixteen children while she would only give birth to three. Maggy also told her that another queen, younger and more beautiful, would depose her, and afterwards, once all her children were buried, her valonqar would choke her to death. Valonqar, as we all know, means little brother in High Valyrian, which Cersei always took to mean Tyrion, while the younger queen is Margaery Tyrell (but I think it's Daenarys).
However, the alternate explanation of this prophecy is Jaime kills Cersei. The two are twins, but it was Cersei who arrived first, with Jaime being born right after. The two have been drifting apart since Jaime was freed from Stark captivity, with Cersei seeing enemies all around, while Jaime attempts to broker peace and set the kingdom right. The two who were once inseparable have never been more at odds.
And how poetically Shakespearean would it be if Jaime strangled Cersei with the gold hand that she had made for him?
Probability: Six Medieval Melodramas out of Ten
7. Tyrion is actually half-Targaryen
The late Tywin Lannister's late wife, Joanna Lannister, was an intelligent and beautiful woman. She served as her husband's close confidante and advisor, ruling the house while helping him to rule the kingdom. However, it was not only Tywin who had eyes for Joanna; the Mad King Aerys also wanted her. Not out of love or need, but out of desire and want, even going so far as to take liberties with Joanna at her wedding during the bedding ceremony, where all of the male guests undress the bride and the female guests undress the groom.
Now Joanna would never willingly cheat on her husband, but it is entirely possible that Aerys at some point had his way with her. If Tywin knew or found out later, the enmity between the two would have grown to the point that Tywin would see the wholesale slaughter of the Targaryen dynasty as a sort of revenge. Tywin also claims that he was never able to prove that Tyrion wasn't his, implying that he tried. With such a great marriage to the late Joanna, this means that he either didn't trust her fidelity (unlikely) or had some knowledge of her being taken by force. You could also then take another meaning from his last words, ""You…you are no…no son of mine." (though this was probably just him being a dick [albeit Tyrion had just shot him with a crossbow while he was trying to take a dump]).
What this all would (hopefully) mean is that Tyrion is one of the three heads of the dragon that was prophesied when Daenarys went to the House of the Undying, and account for the path to Dany that he is on now (I say Tyrion gets Rhaegal).
And on a physical note, Tyrion has light blonde hair (pretty close to the Targaryen white), mismatched green and black eyes (Lannister's have green eyes and Targaryen eyes can appear so purple as to be black), and finally, children of the Targaryen dynasty seem to have an ill effect on their mothers (Rhaella dying giving birth to Daenarys, Lyanna dying giving birth to Jon, Elia going barren after two children).
Probability: Three Soap Opera Love Triangles out of Ten
8. Aegon VI is a fake.
This Targaryen heir burst on to the scene in A Dance with Dragons, claiming to be the son of Rhaegar Targaryen who was supposedly killed by Gregor Clegane during the Sack of King's Landing. According to Varys, he has him switched with a common-born babe and spirited away to Essos, where the Spider's chum Illyrio raises him to be the best of kings. He is trained in language, math, fighting, and history, and lives and works with the smallfolk in order to better know his subjects. Varys says to Kevan Lannister (right before he has him killed) that, "Aegon has been shaped for rule before he could walk…He can fish and cook and bind up a wound, he knows what it is like to be hungry, to be hunted, to be afraid. Tommen has been taught that kingship is his right. Aegon knows kingship is his duty, that a king must put his people first, and live and rule for them."
The one major problem with this plot is, how could Varys have known that the fake Aegon (dubbed the Pisswater Prince) would be mangled to such a state as to be unrecognizable? This has lead some to believe that Aegon is one of two things:
1) The son of Ashara Dayne. While reportedly throwing herself off a tower and over a cliff after giving birth to a stillborn daughter, her body was never recovered. And as we know, if we don't see a body, it probably didn't happen. And if we see a body, it still might have not happened, because Varys.
2) A male Blackfyre, long thought to be extinct in the male line. The members of this exiled branch of House Targaryen would still have the same features as the main branch of House Targaryen, and Varys could have potentially found one as a babe and raised him up to believe himself to be Aegon. This is also supported by the fact that the Golden Company, founded by a supporter of House Blackfyre, so readily supports him.
Other criticisms of Aegon come from a more emotional perspective: some readers want Tyrion (as discussed elsewhere) to be the third head of the dragon, and some just don't believe that GRRM would bring in a new Targaryen player so late in the game. But then again, when has ol' Georgie ever played by the rules?
Probability: Three Confusing Lines of Succession out of Ten
9. Jon/Dany/Stannis/Aegon VI is Azor Ahai/the Prince That Was Promised.
Azor Ahai is a legendary hero that will be reborn to drive back the Others during the next Long Night. The Prince That Was Promised is a hero that will save the world from darkness. The similarity of these prophecies has lead those who've studied it to believe that they are speaking about the same person. Maester Aemon and Melisandre use the terms interchangeably.
The signs that will herald the birth of the hero are thus:
– The birth of a prince or princess.- The prince or princess will be of Targaryen blood (a woods witch said the child would be born to the line of Aerys II and his sister Rhaella [ew]).- Born amidst salt and smoke.- A bleeding star in the skies (also mentioned is being born beneath a bleeding star).- Waking the dragons from stone.- Possibly the murder of a loved one.
Now let's look at how those apply to each of our potentials:
Jon Snow – As we saw from the first theory in this list, R+L=J, the Lord Crow is potentially a Targaryen prince from the line of Aerys and Rhaella. We know next to nothing about his birth but we do know about his rebirth. Death and other formative moments are treated as rebirth in ASOIAF, and, at the end of the fifth book, while Jon is being stabbed to death right after making a game-changing decision, all the signs are there. The salt is Bowen Marsh's tears as he stabs his Lord Commander, the smoke is the steam rising from Jon's open wounds, and the bleeding star is the blood of Ser Patrek on his heraldry, which is a blue star on a silver field. And in addition, he indirectly causes Ygritte's death by warning Castle Black of the wildling raid. Probability: Yes.
Daenarys – She is a princess, daughter of Aerys II and Rhaella. She was first born surrounded by the salty sea on Dragonstone, then reborn as the Mother of Dragons after rising from Drogo's funeral pyre, providing the smoke. She hatched three petrified dragon eggs, waking them from stone. And on that morning after rising from the funeral pyre, a red star appeared in the sky. She also smothers her still-"living" husband. Probability: Definitely yes.
Stannis – Melisandre attempts to force the prophecies to come true for Stannis, having him attempt to forge Lightbringer on Dragonstone while the red comet blazed overhead. The smoke from the burning statues of the Seven and the salt from the sea were meant to fulfill the requirements, but Maester Aemon notes that the Lightbringer that Stannis forged gives off no heat and therefore cannot be true. Probability: I really hope not.
Aegon VI – Rhaegar believed he was the prince that was promised, and Rhaegar was super smart. So maybe. Probability: Rhaegar is always right.
10. Jojen was feed to Bran by the Children of the Forest.
This theory utilizes some very chilling excerpts from Bran's time with Bloodraven. In order to waken his full powers, Bran is given a bowl of paste to eat, in which he notices some veins of red. He assumes that it is just weirwood sap, but can't help but notice that it looks like blood, and is initially revolted by its taste. While in the weirwood, Bran also sees people being sacrificed to the the Old Gods and can taste their blood.
Magic comes with a price in Martin's books, such as Melisandre's sacrifices for Lightbringer, Dany's unwitting sacrifice of her unborn son to "save" her husband, and the burning of her husband's body and a witch to wake the dragons. Jojen, with his powers of greensight, would be a potent sacrifice.
Jojen's green dreams also showed him the moment of his death, which would happen sometime after he delivered Bran to the Children. He began to grow more sullen and withdrawn the further north they traveled, and when Bran asked Jojen and Meera if the Children were going to kill him, Meera said, "Jojen, you're scaring him." Jojen replied, "He is not the one who needs to be afraid."
Finally, in the last chapter we have from Bran's perspective, he goes looking for the Reeds and is unable to find them.
Probability: Four Potential Cannibalisms out of Ten
11. Coldhands is Benjen Stark.
A theory that relies mainly on emotions, Coldhands is the wight that saved Samwell Tarly's bacon and guided Bran's party to the Children of the Forest. He is clearly a Crow, being described as wearing the mottled blacks and grays of the Night's Watch, plus he addresses Sam as "Brother".
And with cool Uncle Benjen missing, readers want to look for a meaning in his death/disappearance, and see Coldhands as an acceptable replacement. The Child of the Forest, Leaf, says, "They killed him long ago." Benjen only disappeared two years prior, and who knows what a long time means to the Children of the Forest, a race that lives for hundreds of years. Leaf claims to be over 200 years old.
None of this has deterred the tinfoil hats, but we may never know his true identity.
Probability: Two Hands Full Of Congealed Blood out of Ten
12. Littlefinger will see his ambitions ended by Sansa's hand.
Everyone, who isn't a fellow sociopath, wants Littlefinger to get his comeuppance, and Sansa seems to be the one best positioned to do it. She has become his protege and confidante, with him even expositioning all over her about Jon Arryn's demise.
The clearest evidence that we have is a prophecy from the Ghost of High Heart. She says to the members of the Brotherhood Without Banners that she dreamed, "of a maid at a feast with purple serpents in her hair, venom dripping from their fangs. And later I dreamt that maid again, slaying a savage giant in a castle built of snow." The purple serpents in the hair was the poison that Lady Olenna used to kill Joffrey, showing that this prophecy is indeed about Sansa. The next line makes little sense when talking about Littlefinger, until you realize that the Mockingjay symbol he has adopted is not his family's sigil. House Baelish's sigil is the head of a titan, an otherwise giant and savage creature. The Eyrie also sits atop the peak known as the Giant's Lance, and with winter coming, as it always is, the castle will be covered in snow.
Littlefinger is like the Sith Master whose end will eventually come at the hands of the apprentice he trained. Sansa has shown great promise in navigating the intricacies of the game of thrones, once she stopped crying over being married to the coolest guy in Westeros. Sansa doesn't seem to be one to get her hands dirty when murdering someone, and it will be incredibly interesting to see what sort of web she weaves. This "slaying" may even be metaphorical, where Sansa deposes Petyr as the Lord of the Vale and banishes him back to his little Finger. That would be all too sweet.
Probability: Six Stabbings I Want To See Happen out of Ten
13. Balon Greyjoy was murdered by his brother Euron.
dana-mad.ru / Via dana-mad.ru
Another prophecy by the Ghost of High Heart, who correctly predicted the Purple Wedding and the resurrection of Catelyn Stark, goes thusly,
"I dreamt of a man without a face, waiting on a bridge that swayed and swung. On his shoulder perched a drowned crow with seaweed hanging from his wings."
Balon supposedly fell off one of the rope bridges that spanned between the towers of the Pyke during a violent storm. This prophecy suggests that it was instead a Faceless Man that was hired by one of the ironborn.
The most likely suspect is Euron "Crow's Eye" Greyjoy, Balon's exiled brother, who arrived at the Iron Isles soon after Balon's death, despite not having any way of knowing that his lord brother had died (unless he had been the one that hired the Faceless Man that is). As mentioned by the small council of Robert Baratheon while debating how to deal with Daenarys, a Faceless Man comes with a high price tag, even for a lowly merchant. The price to kill a lord of a great house must have been exorbitant, and Euron, with his ships bulging with plunder from his days raiding while in exile, would have been able to pay this price.
Probability: Nine Kinslayers out of Ten
14. The Hound is alive and well.
For the last time, if we don't see a character die on screen, then they're definitely not dead. Unless they are, because that happens sometimes too. But not in the case of the Hound, who has found himself on the Quiet Isle as the gravedigger for the local monks.
The Elder Brother of the order says he spoke to the Hound as he died, and seems to know quite a bit about him for only having a brief moment before he passed. The monk, who was relating this tale to Brienne of Tarth, also may have been speaking metaphorically about the death of Clegane, as he claims that he himself "died" during the Battle of the Trident, representing his change from a warrior to a man of peace.
This means that Sandor has become a novice on the island, and the gravedigger that Brienne sees matches the physical description of the Hound. He is larger than Brienne, and wears a scarf that can cover the burns on his face. The gravedigger walks with a limp, still healing from the injury that put him on the island.
And the nail in the coffin for most of the tinfoil hat fans, he is also seen bending down to pet a dog, a clue left by Martin, alluding to his old life as the Hound.
Probability: Nine Penitents I Don't Care For out of Ten
15. Southron Ambitions
This theory is something to behold. Completely implied, convoluted, and incredibly expansive, Southron Ambitions evolved out of a comment by Barbrey Dustin in A Dance With Dragons, where the northern lady cursed Ned's father Rickard and his "southron ambitions". Stefan Sasse sussed out the details, writing a lengthy essay over at the Tower of the Hand.
The very summarized summary of this conspiracy is that five of the great lords plotted to intermarry their children and thereby gain more power in the ruling of the Westeros. These five lords, Jon Arryn, Tywin Lannister, Rickard Stark, Hoster Tully, and Steffon Baratheon, all fought together during the War of the Ninepenny Kings, forging a bond not normally seen between the heads of the great houses.
This led to betrothals between their heirs, with Brandon Stark engaged to Catelyn Tully, Jaime Lannister to Lysa Tully, and Robert Baratheon to Lyanna Stark. Their parents on the other hand only married the children of their own bannermen, so this seems to break tradition.
Robert and Ned were also sent to foster at the Eyrie with Jon Arryn, an unusual occurrence. If a feud were to ever break out between the Vale and the North, or the Vale and the Stormlands, Arryn would have two hostages that he could use to threaten his opponents. This sort of deal would only happen between lords who consider themselves fast friends, and have nothing to fear from each other.
To get the full scope of this theory, head on over to the Tower of the Hand.
Probability: Eight Shadowy Implications out of Ten
16. Rhaegar was planning on dethroning his father, The Mad King Aerys.
The Mad King was a paranoid man, who trusted only his closest advisers (not always correctly *cough*Pycelle*cough*). This paranoia even extended to his own son, who he suspected of plotting to overthrow him. The Tourney at Harrenhal was set up by Lord Whent, but was such a rich affair that it was may have been funded behind the scenes by a rich benefactor. This benefactor was could have been Rhaegar, or a combination of northern lords, all who were looking for an excuse to meet and plot a peaceful coup/transition which would see Rhaegar put on the throne. Combined with the conspiracy above, it begins to make even more sense why Tywin would have been pushing so hard for Cersei to be married to Rhaegar, attempting to secure the last puzzle piece needed by engaging his daughter to the new lord.
The plot came to a crashing halt however when King Aerys showed up unannounced at the tourney. This didn't allow the lords to stop and collaborate, and afterwards Rhaegar started his Lyanna obsession, which led all the way up to the War of the Usurper. And a small quote from Rhaegar that further lends credence to this theory is when he was leaving King's Landing to fight at the Battle of the Trident, he told Jaime Lannister that there were changes that were going to be made when he got back. If Rhaegar had won, or even survived the battle, he probably would've tried to sue for peace, allowing the rebels to depose his father if he could ascend the throne. I hate getting into what ifs, but it would've been a much more peaceful world if that had happened.
Probability: Eight Coups We Wanted out of Ten
17. The Grand Northern Conspiracy
If you had trouble reading all of the Southron Ambitions' essay, then you're probably not going to like this one. Awesomely-titled and in seven parts, this series details the supposed fate of the breakaway Northern Kingdom after the death of The Young Wolf, Robb Stark. Examining the final days of the King in the North from his mother's POV, as well as the reactions of his bannermen after his death at the Red Wedding, a Tumblr/Reddit user named Yeade discovered what may be the start of the Starks' late-game comeback.
The basic premise of the essays is that, when creating his will, Robb legitimized his bastard brother Jon Snow and declared him his heir. This will is held by one of his bannermen and guides all of their actions under Lannister control. Everything that they do, from cooperating with Stannis or deceiving the Boltons, is done to eventually allow for Jon Snow to take up the mantle as a Stark. They are playing the game of thrones and positioning their enemies and reluctant allies to take a fall, while the true King in the North and will break his vow's to the Night's Watch and take up his place in Winterfell.

Probability: George R.R. Martin will like this more than what he originally had planned and include it.

Breitbart News Network, American Principles Project, and Cornerstone Action are co-sponsors of an upcoming forum centered on the principles of federalism. More information about the forum can be found at Cornerstone, American Principles Project, and Breitbart News.
Federalism is intended to promote citizen-directed government and to protect individual liberties. Unfortunately, elitists have undermined the constitutional structure to the point that now states have become supplicants of the federal executive and the people have only a nominal voice.
A prime example of the deterioration of the constitutional structure is the federal high-handedness on education matters and the collection of sensitive, personal student and family information.
The progressive-education establishment, which includes not only the U.S. Department of Education but also many, if not every, state department of education, is abuzz with the concept of "personalized learning." Personalized learning, we are told, will "transform" education. It will meet students where they are and gently coax them down the path to true education, evaluating them at each step to ensure they've mastered the "competencies" the government requires of them. Who could object to that?
But if you think this means a teacher will pay extra attention to your child and work with him or her to overcome difficulties and inculcate knowledge – think again. "Personalized learning" in many respects replaces teachers with machines – and it runs on intrusive data-collection that builds a psychological dossier on each student. This is the dirty little secret the education establishment, and its comrades in the ed-tech industry, won't tell you.
Personalized learning is accomplished primarily through digital platforms – not alternative means of accessing text, such as a Kindle, but interactive platforms that give a student a prompt, to which he responds, which generates another prompt, and so on. As explained in a U.S. Department of Education report entitled "Expanding Evidence: Approaches for Learning in a Digital World," such software will record how long the student takes to respond to each prompt, how often he skips a question and returns to it later, how many "hints" he requires, etc. These are "sophisticated systems capable of collecting large amounts of fine-grained data as users interact with them… [L]earners will generate vast quantities of data…" And that data will give the experts a window into the child's brain.
Some of this "fine-grained data" will consist of physiological observations and measurements. The "Expanding Evidence" report waxes enthusiastic about a University of Massachusetts project that "combin[es] data from sensors that detect learners' facial expressions and physical activity with data from the intelligent tutoring system Wayang Outpost to identify in real time whether a learner is feeling excited, confident, frustrated, or bored."
In other words, this "fine-grained" data will show not what the student knows, but how he thinks and what he feels. And all of that information will be recorded and analyzed.
Lest we think this is merely hypothetical research, not something that is actually contemplated or advocated by the federal government, we need only peruse the education blogs and see where the attention (and the money) is focused. For example, at the U.S. Department's "Datapalooza" in October 2012, ed-tech representatives wowed the audience with the Brave New World capabilities of their cutting-edge digital platforms.
Consider also the National Science Foundation's recent grant of $4.8 million to a coalition of prominent research universities to help them build a massive database for storing, analyzing, and sharing the fine-grained data given off by "digital learners." As described by Education Week, this "LearnSphere" database will house "digital-interaction data generated by students using digital software… chat-window dialogue sent by students [in online courses and tutoring, and] potentially, 'affect' and biometric data, including information generated from classroom observations, computerized analysis of students' posture, and sensors placed on students' skin."
But these technocrats will anonymize the data, so parents can certainly rest easy, right? Not according to most IT professionals, who laugh at the claim that such a multitude of data can be de-identified.
The techno-progressive educrats justify this astonishing invasion of privacy by envisioning the educational wonders that can result from knowing almost everything there is to know about the workings of a student's brain. But they don't really make this argument to parents, for one simple reason – they don't tell parents what's happening. Parents are left to believe that the digital-learning platforms are simply great new ways of helping their children learn, with no downsides. By and large, parents have no idea of the data-collection and sharing that forms the foundation of this 21st-century "education."
Parents have the right to this information. They have the right to weigh the benefits against the costs and to refuse to let their children participate in such programs. But they won't be able to do this until, as the Framers intended, their governors and legislatures stand at the constitutional line and push back against the federal Department of Education.
Emmett McGroarty is the Director of Education of the American Principles Project.

a short pull request, or just upgrade to 3.3 as you probably should, whichever is easier.... thanks !

You're probably already in the habit of recycling your aluminum cans after finishing a beverage.
But, did you know that there are so many other opportunities to recycle metal? It's as easy as looking around your home for unused objects and visiting a scrap yard.
Finding alternative ways to reuse metal is important as it helps reduce ore drilling. Unfortunately, many are unaware of the uses of scrap metal.
This is why we did a little research. Read below for 5 tips on metal recycling that are convenient and can even make you a buck or two at the scrap yard.
1. Ferrous vs. Non-Ferrous Metal
Before taking your metal to the scrap yard, you should determine if it's ferrous or non-ferrous.
Ferrous metal is the more common type of metal. Likely, the object is steel or iron, which isn't worth as much as non-ferrous metal.
The easiest way to distinguish between the two is by seeing if a magnet sticks. If a magnet sticks to the metal, it's ferrous. If it doesn't, consider it non-ferrous.
Both are accepted and recycled properly at scrap yards. But, it's good to have the two separated because non-ferrous metal is much more valuable.
2. Hire Help
Are you going to be moving homes or undergoing some serious spring cleaning? Hire a metal recycling specialist to help identify what can be recycled.
Some service providers will come in and manually remove the items for you (with your approval, of course).
Or, you can hire a service, such as Fast Skip Bins, to recycle the items yourself.
3. Look Beyond The Surface
Often, small metal appliances and objects that can be recycled are overlooked. They can be found when cleaning your home or office.
Look for old brass within hardware. Think keys, zippers, light fixtures, door knobs, faucets, and locks.
Also, there are plenty of recyclable aluminum items beyond beverage cans. You can recycle gutters, siding, nails, staples, and some pots and pans.
Lastly, don't forget about steel- one of the most popular metals. Kitchen appliances, food cans, and some screws and nuts are common examples.
4. Safety First
Metal recycling can pose a risk of safety because it collects rust and/or can have rough edges.
Metal can cause cuts and scrapes leading you to a risk of infection. To prevent this, make sure you are taking safety precautions when sorting.
We recommend at least wearing thick gloves to prevent you from cutting your hands. Also, it's wise to wear eye goggles.
5. Browse Between Metal Recycling Facilities
Most people will typically have several locations they can visit to recycle items. You should definitely do your research before handing over your metal.
Some facilities will pay you more for your donations than others. Call or browse online to compare payment options.
Also, some facilities only accept or focus heavily on certain types of metal. You should ensure your local facility accepts the type of metal you wish to recycle.
By recycling our metal items, we're reducing landfill waste and making the most of natural resources.
Do you have any tips/suggestions for how you recycle your metal? Share in the comment section below or contact us!

My name is Andrea and I am a photographer based in South Florida.
I specialize in fashion and beauty photography as well as portraiture.
Portraits have been and will always be my favorite thing to capture; there's just something beautiful about freezing time and a personality.
I am available for travel and will work closely with you to create the images you dream of.
"A wise man once told me that we are craftsmen, that photographers work with two key elements; light and time. Creating images over the past few years has become an amazing journey. The photographs I make are a reflection of the things I have seen, the music I listen to, the people who influence me and the things I love most. When I make an image, it's a process, sometimes a long one, but at the end of the journey there is this great sense of fulfillment. Art isn't about what's popular and what can make a lot of money, real art is about the connection and the feeling that the artwork has, how much it can move you and what it can say."

Breast implant revision is a surgical procedure designed to correct complications or dissatisfaction after a previous breast surgery, usually after breast augmentation. While most breast surgeries are highly successful, complications can arise that require surgical correction in some cases. When you meet with Mr Gwanmesia, he will assess your concerns and determine how best to correct your complications. This may include removal and/or replacement of your breast implant(s).
Reasons to Undergo Breast Implant Revision
The following are some of the most common reasons why women choose to undergo breast revision.
Capsular Contracture
While still relatively uncommon, capsular contracture is a reason to undergo breast revision. Capsular contracture is when the scar tissue that naturally forms around the breast implant begins to tighten and harden excessively, causing pain, discomfort, and an unnatural appearance. The necessary correction is surgical removal of the scar tissue and may also include replacement of the implant(s).
Anatomical Implant Shifting
If an anatomical breast implant shifts within the breast pocket, the breast may appear misshapen or deformed. Shifted anatomical implants can be repositioned or replaced with round implants during breast revision surgery.
Implant Rupture
The rupture rate of breast implants has significantly diminished in recent years. However, if an implant rupture occurs, the implant will need to be replaced. Ruptured implants can be replaced during breast revision surgery.
Bottoming Out
Although it is normal for breast implants to settle down or descend after breast augmentation, in some cases, the implant will fall below the breast crease. This causes the upper breast to lose volume and the nipple to appear abnormally high on the breast. Mr Gwanmesia can surgically elevate the breast implant to correct bottoming out and improve its placement.
Implant Positioning Issues
In some cases, issues with the position of the breast implants may warrant breast revision. Whether they were poorly placed in the initial augmentation procedure, they have shifted since then, or they have slid below the breast crease to create double bubble deformity, the implant(s) can be removed and replaced according to the patient's desires.
Symmastia occurs when breast implants are positioned too close together, causing the breasts to become connected in the middle. Breast revision surgery for symmastia manipulates the breast pocket to reposition the implants and correct the midline connection so that the breasts appear more natural.
Dissatisfaction with the results of breast augmentation is the most common reason women undergo breast implant revision surgery. Whether you wish to change the size, type, shape, texture, profile, or another aspect of your breast implants, breast revision surgery can help you achieve the look you desire.
If you are experiencing complications or dissatisfaction after your initial breast augmentation implant surgery, contact us right away to schedule your breast revision consultation. Mr Ivo Gwanmesia can alleviate your concerns and help you achieve the results you desire. To schedule your consultation today, please call us at 02074741300 or fill out our online contact form.
You can get to our London office through the Oxford Circus and Bond Street Underground in the City of Marylebone. We are located on the 10 Harley Street next to the Cavendish Square Gardens.
