California Climate Policy – Why It's Good for Business
This article examines both the positive and negative economic impacts of climate policies and why some economic analysis widely differ in their outcomes. While we use data from California, we believe similar arguments would hold true for well designed Federal policies. In summary we find the positive impacts include jobs and economic development from efficiency and clean energy, a diversified economy that is better protected from the impacts of fossil fuel prices and potentially lower energy bills. A price on carbon needs to be carefully designed so that it stimulates innovation and discourages investments in traditional fossil fuels without creating prices increases that exceed the benefits from the overall policy.View Report »

Spanish Two
Spanish Two students build on previous knowledge of the basic structures of Spanish: number, gender, adjective agreement and word order as well as SER vs ESTAR. This year they add much vocabulary to their knowledge base, begin to converse more in the target language, learn past tense, imperfect tense, future tense, stem changing verbs, reflexive verbs (so that the students can discuss their daily routines) and learn direct and indirect object meanings and placement. They read and discuss a variety of authentic materials including poetry, learn about Mexican culture and celebrations (Día de los Muertos, Las Posadas and Cinco de mayo) listen to native speakers through an online series entitled Destinos, research el Perú before reading a mini novel: Los Bakers Van a Perú and read, converse and complete activities with Primeras Lecturas. Students also explore Cuba and the poetry of José Martí. Spanish Two students view the movie: Bella, which explores the option of adoption and Spanish Two students write an opinion essay about that theme.
Lesson plans are shared through Office 365 the Thursday or Friday before the coming week.

Now that National Security Adviser Condi Rice has agreed to testify before the 9/11 Commission under oath and publicly, I have to wonder what all of the fuss was about. Especially the part about testifying under oath. I suppose it's possible there's some political significance to the oath that the Administration wanted to avoid, but as far as personal liability for Ms. Rice goes, whether her testimony is under oath or not, she would appear to be in jeopardy of prosecution under 18 U.S.C. s 1001 if she were to lie to the Commission. (Yes, the same section 1001 used in part to prosecute Martha Stewart.)
By the way, I think it's silly that the Administration let Ms. Rice testify only after the Commission agreed that it would not set a "precedent":
The commission's Republican chairman, former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, welcomed the decision and said the White House shouldn't be concerned that the testimony would violate the principles of executive privilege or separation of powers.
"We recognize the fact that this is an extraordinary event," Kean said. "This does not set a precedent."
As Prof. Balkin notes:
I don't see how Rice's testimony can *avoid* becoming a precedent. Much of the institution of the separation of powers is a set of informal arrangements between the branches, which continually look to previous practice (as opposed to judicial precedents). Whatever the Administration says, people will remember that Rice testified and the circumstances under which she did so. Saying that this won't be a precedent is a little like the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore saying that its decision was limited to the specific facts of that case. It's not the sort of statement that induces much confidence in the principled nature of the decision.
Maybe as a political matter, this claim helps the Administration defend its prior intransigence -- i.e., "We just wanted to make sure that future Administrations would not be hobbled because of this instance where we let the NSA testify." But it doesn't strike me as a very good legal argument.

Lawmakers Look To Strike Right Balance With Spyware Bill
Senate Commerce Committee members Wednesday stressed the importance of striking the right balance with legislation to help fight secretly installed computer spyware and provide the FTC with the tools the agency needs to prosecute high-tech hackers.
Senate Commerce Committee members Wednesday stressed the importance of striking the right balance with legislation to help fight secretly installed computer spyware and provide the FTC with the tools the agency needs to prosecute high-tech hackers.
Comment on this article in The Forum.Consumer Affairs Subcommittee Chairman Mark Pryor, D-Ark., who introduced an anti-spyware bill in June 2007 with Sens. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said there are "very few if any, that I can determine, legitimate reasons for this practice [and] there are a number of reasons why we should do something to try to stop spyware." Their bill would criminalize the act of implanting of spyware on a person's computer without consent.
Pryor called for "a good, workable definition of spyware" and increased civil penalty authority for the FTC, which would be granted under a reauthorization bill sponsored by Senate Commerce Chairman Daniel Inouye and Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., this year.
Sen. David Vitter, R-La., said the committee should move swiftly to address the issue "but the tough part is how we do that effectively." The biggest challenge is to formulate a bill that is not outpaced or outdated by technological advances in "a month or a year."
"We should focus on passing legislation against improper activity and not be too technology specific," he said."That'll end up getting us in trouble and having unintended consequences."
Nelson cited a recent Consumer Reports survey that showed one in 11 respondents reported a spyware infection on their computers.
Nelson said the consumer spyware threat "clearly overlays" the cybersecurity vulnerabilities faced by the intelligence community and both must be on lawmakers' front-burner.
Legislation that would let the FTC seek civil penalties in spyware cases could add a potent remedy to those otherwise available currently, FTC Consumer Protection Bureau Deputy Director Eileen Harrington said.
The Direct Marketing Association's top lobbyist, Jerry Cerasale, said the combination of industry guidelines, anti-spyware technologies, and enforcement of existing laws in recent years has limited pernicious software downloads and reduced spyware's threat.
He said sections of Pryor's bill need to be revisited and any legislation should be drafted in a way that does not undermine current efforts or upset consumers' expectations regarding the types of available, legitimate online marketing.
Symantec Corp. Vice President Vincent Weafer said legislation "can and should play an important role." He urged the committee to consider language that focuses on the malicious intent behind the behavior and avoids the trap of defining "good" or "bad" technologies. He added that any bill should protect developers of anti-spyware tools from threats and legal harassment by those who disseminate harmful software.

I saw this tutorial for a Matryoshka Microwable Bed Warmer from Bluebelle Design a while back.
Hubby and I have no need for an electric blanket in bed, however it is nice to jump into a warm bed. In the past, hubby has been wonderful enough to warm a big towel in the dryer and then put it on my side of the bed as a surprise.
But now a days, I don't go to bed until way past hubby's bedtime. So when I saw this tutorial, I had to make a bed warmer for myself.
Here's the one I made for myself.
She's been such a warming comfort on those cold nights.
My friend A-M, upon spotting this bed warmer, combined with seeing the flannelette fabric below, wanted me to make a bed warmer for her little nephew Spider.
I couldn't really make the doll a girl version, so after much thought and inspiration from Lil Blu Boo's Pirate Matryoshka, I made a Pirate Matryoshka.
I added a few drops of eucalyptus oil and also added red tags on the sides as babies love biting on tags.
Arrrrr – let me keep you warrrm!

Here is an example of yesterday. We were at the skate park under a highway and there were loud columns, naturally support the highway and disappear into the distance. So we asked Matti just below, which makes a natural framework arise with him in the middle. As I said, I use the whole environment. Here we shooten in a stairwell. I use the banister on the picture to frame. So rather than simply go out to take pictures, the railing now provides the framework, which accounts for the unique composition and makes the photo more interesting. Look at the picture here. This is really interesting, because we use the lines of the wall leading up to this input. They do not lead anywhere right back but that's where I put down Matti because it puts him in scene perfectly. The photo is so very balanced, because we have a leading line the climax, the door frame, have, where we position our motive. What I'm saying is, if you have no buildings, then take people! Here again Matti taking a picture when we were in Italy.
I used the people in the restaurant, around him in this photo to frame, so that it is not in the picture so lost. This creates more color, more depth, the picture becomes more vivid. search only natural lines makes your picture so ten times better! Next, the perspective. You do not always photographed frontally. Many beginners take the camera, keep them at eye level and just start taking pictures. But that's the point! Try out different perspectives! May come through a deep angle slightly to the fore, what you have not seen before. Just as these wooden beams, when we photographed with Matti yesterday. I would have at eye level or photographed slightly to the left, I had a overlooked much of the bar, but this color harmonizes so well with his clothes and the general Color of the architecture that you see the must choose angle so deep to capture it all. Pretty much harmony! Harmony, pleasure, seize the opportunity… You see what makes a difference, rather than simply head to photograph.
The same applies from above. We went through the door frame and the floor was full of these tiles, surrounded by stones. Normally, you would not imagine it, but Symmetry, geometry All these things can make your photos amazing. We have made these images noon. So the light was not on our side and I thought, "Okay, what we do, make it and does not work FOR against us? " SHADOW! Where there is light, are also cool shade. So let's change the angles, so I take advantage of all the Geometry and symmetry of the tiles can draw on the floor. And as the shadows, because the sun is at its highest point. I am therefore climbed to this lead and I Matti photographed from above, and already we have a great picture of what it his shadow and all these stones shows which form a really cool "background". Although they are on the ground but we take all these things and make the overall composition more interesting than your standard snapshot. That was the context and perspective. Number three is to use the light. Light around us, when you go into the shade, you get softer light, you go into the sun you get hard light, but can the shadows and different tricks you have learned over the years to apply and use all this to your advantage.
Start taking BETTER photos: Adjusting light
Sometimes you can cut light simply through certain areas, creating its own context and its own perspective, which summarizes everything a truly unique composition, if you use it properly! An example: When we photographed in the stairwell, the light fell through the railing and has this cool patterns generated on the wall. Rather than simply shoot directly against the wall, I had to kick him IN the light.
Now we use these lines, around a portion of his face to include a better, to generate creative total composition. So if you are going to photograph the next time try something as simple as the move your subject to a different location in the image, as where you would otherwise positioned there. Finally, here's an example Matti bottom left of the image. But if we move it a bit up and to the side the picture looks quite different! And we can move it all out and in and looks different. All these photos are GUNT and I like them all, But you see, just by moving the subject changed the photo.
All images are processed the same, but the frame and the composition really play a huge role in photography. I hope you liked this chat and you could take something from it. I challenge you to go outside, take your camera right now and something completely different to photograph than usual. Photographed everything from above and see what happens. Or everything from the bottom up. Quite different than usual! And it looks to you! And I guarantee you, if you check the composition at head retain, according to the context studied applies and all these tips will discover her things in your own photos the you can not believe! So go out and begin to photograph. Click LIKE ME! SKIN TOP! I do it to you not blame Subscribed to the channel if you have not already done so and AND Did you think it is stuck?

One of the key factors of living a healthy lifestyle is having the right nutrition. Making the correct choices and sourcing the correct food has a massive influence on your health and wellbeing.
There are many misconceptions about the quality and type of foods that make up a healthy eating plan.
A common mistake that people make is that they under eat, which reduces their metabolic rate and lowers the rate at which their body burns fat.
This means that by drastically reducing your calorie intake you could be increasing your body fat mass. The immediate decrease in weight is often the result of losing lean muscle tissue and dehydration. Losing weight isn't about eating less. It's important to realise that losing weight and the loss of fat are two different things.
I can give advice and offer you a personalised nutrition plan, which will have you on your way to the perfect you.

1/ 1970s
[cover illustration by Mark Edwards]
David Malouf's intense, evocative, prose-poetic novel An Imaginary Life (London: Chatto & Windus, 1978) is narrated from exile, in the first person, by Ovid himself. In it he tells of his meeting with a wild boy, brought up by wolves:
The encounter with the Child, which makes up the main part of this book, has no basis in fact, but I have verified my description from the best account we have of such a phenomenon, J. M. G. Itard's painstaking observations of Victor, the wild boy of Aveyron … ["Afterword: A Note on Sources," 153-54.]
François Truffaut's film L'Enfant sauvage, also based on the story of the wild boy of Aveyron, was released in 1970.
2/ 1980s
Christoph Ransmayr's Die letzte Welt [The Last World] was published in 1988. An English translation by John Woods appeared in 1990 (London: Chatto & Windus). In it the young Roman Cotta visits Tomi in search of the poet "Naso," only to find a disintegrating world filled with parodic versions of Ovidian mythology. The book concludes with "An Ovidian Repertory," a glossary of identifications between the characters Cotta meets and their originals in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Time, too, has a habit of morphing between the ancient world and the twentieth-century present in Ransmayr's brooding, apocalyptic work:
Banned from Rome, from the realm of necessity and reason, the poet had finished telling his Metamorphoses beside the Black Sea, transforming this barren craggy coast, where he froze and ached with homesickness, into his coast, transforming these barbarians, who harassed and drove him not the forsaken world of Trachila, into his characters. And in telling every story to its conclusion, Naso had freed his word of human beings, of their rules and regulations. And then no doubt he had himself entered his landscape devoid of humans – an indestructible pebble rolling down the slopes, a cormorant sweeping above the foam-crested breakers, a swatch of triumphal purple moss perched atop the last crumbling wall of a town.
Ransmayr's work enjoyed a huge success (the cover of my paperback copy includes the comment: "The most extraordinary novel since The Name of the Rose.")
This enthusiasm did not long survive his next work to appear in English, The Terrors of Ice and Darkness -- which I personally prefer. The fickle reading public deserted him, thinking him a one-trick pony, rather than the Eco-esque enchanter they were looking for.
Terrors (which actually appeared in German in 1984, four years before The Last World) tells the story of a young contemporary man's obsession with a turn-of-the-century Austrian polar expedition to Novaya Zemlya.
"Reality, once discovered, no longer needed recording."
3/ 1990s
[cover picture by Sally Taylor]
David Wishart's Ovid (London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1995) is set just after the poet's death. His stepdaughter, Rufia Perilla, wishes to bring his ashes back to Rome for burial, and enlists the help of the narrator, dissolute aristocrat Marcus Corvinus, grandson of one of Ovid's principal patrons, in doing so.
The rest of the book is a hard-boiled, Chandleresque riot through the mean streets of Rome, as Corvinus tries every trick he knows to find the true reason for the poet's banishment. (It turns out that he accidentally discovered the identity of one of Augustus's granddaughter Julia's co-conspirators in her – alleged – plot against the emperor. He unwisely reported this to the Emperor's evil scheming wife Livia rather than to Augustus himself, and thus become implicated in a fiasco which resulted in the Teutoburger forest massacre of three legions by renegade German noble Arminius).
Hero and heroine succeed against all odds, however (though the validity of Wishart's theory about the true reason for Ovid's exile is somewhat impaired by his own frank admission in his "Author's Note" that "the real Valerius Corvinus was much older than I have made him;" that the real Perilla was "happily married with children;" and that her husband Suillius Rufus "could not possibly have been, as I imply, the 'false friend' who attempted to deprive Ovid's wife of his estate and whom he calls Ibis in his poems." [367]
One sample of Wishart's prose will suffice:
I'd been at a party on the Caelian the night before. My tongue tasted like a gladiator's jockstrap, my head was pounding like Vulcan's smithy, and if you'd held up a hand and asked me how many fingers you'd got I'd've been hard put to give a definite answer without using an abacus ...
There's now a whole series of "Corvinus" novels.

The council of National Representatives (CNR) meeting has ended in Barcelona, Spain. The CNR meeting took place from 25th to 27th May 2017 and provided an opportunity for National Nursing and Midwifery Associations to come together and develop policies for global governance of nursing through strategic leadership, policy impact and diversification.
A new ICN president by name Anette Kennedy from Ireland was elected into office. A new Board was also elected into office to manage the affairs of ICN for the next four years. The CNR preceded the ICN congress which is currently ongoing and will end on 1st June 2017.
The theme for the congress is "The Global Voice of Nursing, Nurses at the forefront of transforming care". This international gathering of thousands of nurses will explore nurses' leading role in the transformation of care, with a particular focus on universal health coverage, the Sustainable Development Goals and human resources for health. The Congress will provide opportunities for nurses to build relationships and to disseminate nursing knowledge and leadership across specialties, cultures and countries. The three ICN pillars – Professional Practice, Regulation and Socio-Economic Welfare – will frame the scientific programme and the dynamic exchange of experiences and expertise.
A delegation from the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association led by the President is taking part in the Congress.
The main objectives of the Congress are:
- To demonstrate and advance the nursing contribution to informed and sustainable health policies.
- To support nursing's contribution to evidence-based healthcare and to encourage problem-solving approaches to health priority needs.
- To provide opportunities for an in-depth exchange of experience and expertise within and beyond the international nursing community.

Inspired by the ballot-redesign initiatives done by the folks at Design for Democracy, I spent a few minutes this week applying their principles to something that's always bugged me: sleazy consumer lending practices. Back in my younger days, I let my credit card balance get out of hand (as I suspect a lot of people do in young adulthood). After I got married and my fabulous wife and I attacked our debt together, we realized that overspending was just one aspect of the problem. The other big part was just getting a handle on what was going on with each credit card — what you're being charged, what kind of impact a minimum payment would make on your bill, and so forth. I'm an Excel whiz so I was able to put together a spreadsheet to deal with this, but it shouldn't take a computer and a piece of software for the average consumer to figure out what their credit card is costing them each month.
There are basically three pieces of information you get when you receive your credit card bill:
- What is my balance?
- What do I need to pay this month to keep them from repossessing my sofa?
- What is all this crap I charged up on this card, anyway?
Credit card companies do an OK job of giving you this information on the monthly statement, although the way they present it is inconsistent from one company to the next (which is a problem). But there are actually two more important pieces of information that most people would find pretty vital:
- When will I pay off this ding-a-dang debt?
- What is this ding-a-dang debt costing me?
To incorporate all this information, I came up with a wireframe design for a standard credit card statement. The specifications of this statement would become part of federal banking law (think of it as an aspect of the truth-in-lending statutes that have been on the books for years). The intention is to increase transparency in consumer lending and, indirectly, to encourage people to pay off their debts.
The wireframe looks like this:
The idea here is that the design of a credit card statement would be exactly the same across all credit card providers. The only variance would be in the upper-left corner: the provider would be allowed to put their logo and return address in that space, but nothing else. Every other design aspect of the statement would be described in a statute. No company would be able to issue credit cards without redesigning its statement to conform with this design, and we'd ban companies from putting all the other useless crap (cross-marketing, etc.) into the envelope along with statements — there shouldn't be a frequent flier offer keeping you from actually looking at your balance each month. The contents of the envelope would contain nothing but the billing statement, and at the very top of the billing statement, in big bold text, would contain your exact balance, the amount the debt costs you each month, the minimum amount you need to pay, and a recommended payment amount.
The "recommended payment" amount is a new concept. It's a simple figure that tells you how much you'd need to pay to get rid of your debt in 12 months based on your current balance and interest rate. It would also be nice if the concept of the "minimum payment" were legally changed so that it would never be smaller than the amount you'd need to pay to get rid of your debt in five years (just like a car loan). Right now lots of credit cards give customers minimum payments that would, in effect, take decades to pay off, and unless you're handy with a spreadsheet, this might not be immediately obvious.
It would still be possible to run up absurd debts using credit cards, but hopefully this design and the new rules (particularly the "minimum minimum" and "recommended" payment amounts) would go along way toward avoiding "gotcha" debt traps, particularly for less sophisticated consumers.
In a world in which too much debt is threatening to cause society as we know it to collapse (and bankruptcy laws no longer enable consumers to discharge all their debt), this seems like a pretty modest proposal.

I see this sort of thing all over social media, and it bothers me. What's going on in today's classrooms is common sense. It actually makes much more sense than the way I was taught, which was called "new math" back then, in the 1970s, but whose final goal was to get me to use the standard procedure shown on the left in the picture above.
15 years ago, I didn't know this. I would've been on the "what the heck?" bandwagon most people my age are when shown one of these "new math" examples. But then I became an editor who worked on math books (books that taught teachers how to teach math this way, because, yes, even teachers, most of whom had been taught the "old" way, needed to learn how to do it), and I found out what the "new math" example represents. I learned how much more I could have gotten out of my math lessons when I was a kid if I'd been taught the way math is being taught in many classrooms today. I visited classrooms where students were excited about doing math (how common was that when you were a kid?), where they were able to do complex arithmetic in their heads, where they eagerly attacked what my friends and I all dreaded: "the word problem."
Not only am I bothered by these "old math", "new math" examples that pop up all over the place, but I'm also bothered by some of the articles written by parents, who often end their rants about trying to help with math homework by waving the white flag saying, "And then I tell my kid, don't worry. I was never any good at math, either. You won't need to know this to succeed in life." I want to shake that parent and say, "YES your child WILL need to know this!" There isn't a single career in life, from homemaker to astrophysicist, that doesn't require problem solving skills and an understanding of numbers. Most work places are run by one thing: the bottom line. Guess what. The bottom line is a number, a very important number, and your child better understand what it means when that number goes up and down, what it means when an employer expects 5% growth this year, what sales versus profit means. Also, if you don't understand numbers, you may not understand you can't really afford that outrageously-priced house the bank is happily giving you a mortgage to buy, until 2008 comes along, and you lose it and have to file for bankruptcy.
It is not acceptable in today's global economy, where so much of the rest of the world's children outperform ours in math and science, to think it's funny to say, "Don't ask me to add 2 and 2 together. I was never any good at math." Would you dream of saying, "Don't ask me to read The Cat in the Hat. I was never any good at reading."? We need to create a society in which people are as embarrassed to admit the former as they are to admit the latter. Otherwise, don't come complaining to me when major corporations are hiring people from Singapore and Japan to come over here and fill some very prestigious, high-paying positions. Those corporations need people who understand numbers, who can do the math, and they know where to find them. They certainly won't find them in a place where people want to keep teaching math in a way that created generations of people who can't do the math.
First of all, let's define a few things. Mathematics, in a very simple nutshell, is the abstract study of numbers, quantity, and space. There is no such thing as "old math" and "new math" any more than there is such a thing as "old history" and "new history". New discoveries, new theories, new problems, etc. arise in the field of mathematics, just as they do in any field, but math itself is old. There's nothing new about it, and the mathematical theories most kids study in school? Very old.
I've also seen this "new math" defined as "common core" math. It isn't. If you've read this far and get nothing else out of this blog post, please don't make yourself look stupid by calling this "common core math". Just because more and more schools began teaching math with understanding, using unfamiliar techniques, around the same time the common core curriculum standards were being adopted, doesn't mean there is something known as "common core math". The common core is not about technique. It is a curriculum standard. It states that, say, your kindergartner should be able to count to 100. It says nothing about how that child should be taught to count to 100. Oh, and by the way, before the common core came along, your state had curriculum standards. Every state did. The common core is just an attempt to unify these standards across states, so if, for instance, you move from Pennsylvania to Virginia, your child won't be bored to tears learning how to add 53 and 37, because in Pennsylvania he was taught to do that two years ago.
What you have in this "common sense" example pictured above is arithmetic. Arithmetic is a branch of mathematics, the branch involved with the use and counting of numbers. What you also have are two algorithms or sets of procedures for calculating an answer to a problem. We don't really know what the problem was here. All we know is that it involved adding the two numbers 53 and 37 together, which means the problem very well could have been something like this, "Last year, my boss said she wanted me to make 53 widgets. I stopped counting once I hit 53, but she tells me I made 37 more than she asked me to make, which is why I'm getting promoted. In this new position, I have to supervise people and make sure each person makes at least as many widgets as I made last year. How many widgets does each person have to make?" You need to add 37 to 53 to get the answer.
Now, you can waste the company time as well as resources by getting out a piece of paper and pencil and doing this the "old" way, using the "old math" algorithm on the left, which is basically what you have to do if you were taught arithmetic the way I was, and no one has shown you a better way, which means you're no good at adding two-digit numbers in your head. Or you can fumble around in your pocket or purse for your phone, scroll through all your apps to find your calculator, punch in the buttons, and get your answer. Or you can quickly add that number in your head and come up with 90, which is basically what that "new math" algorithm is representing. It looks very awkward on paper (and it is), but the point of teaching it this way is that the child will learn to do these calculations in his head. Do you remember that kid you thought was so brilliant because you could turn to her and say, "What's 345 plus 172?" and within seconds, no pencil or paper needed, that kid would reply with "517." She probably was brilliant, because without having been taught this procedure, she understood the numbers well enough that she'd figured it out on her own. Most of the rest of us have to be shown how to do it, but that's what's happening in classrooms all over the country. Kids are being shown how to do it. They're learning how to do such calculations in their head.
I can explain to you what's going on in the "new math" example. The student has been taught how to break numbers down into easier units. He knows that numbers ending in 1, 2, 5, and 0 are very easy to work with, and he can easily count by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s. He has also learned, through hands-on representation of those numbers (think five cute little plastic teddy bears, or seven red sticks, or three jelly beans), how to add all single-digit numbers from 1-9 and has them memorized (these are some of the "math facts" you may hear teachers and students talk about). He knows that 37 represents 3 10s and 7 ones. 7 represents 5 ones and 2 ones. Add 5 to 53, and you get 58. Add 2, and you get 60, and now you just add those 3 10s to get 90. That's just one way to do it. Me? Since I know 7 and 3 is 10, I would've chosen to add 50 and 30 to get 80, 7 and 3 to get 10, and added 80 and 10 to get 90, because I find that easiest. The point is to do what you need to do in order to make the numbers easier to work with.
Now, let's look at the "old math". If no one had ever shown you how to do that, would it really make any (let alone common) sense to you at all? What on earth is going on there? Why are the numbers stacked like that? What is that odd floating "1" on top of the five up there? And would you have any idea that the person solving this problem worked from right to left, unless someone had shown you that's how it's done? In this country, we read from left to right. Just when a child is mastering reading from left to right, we tell her, "Now, I know you're used to going from left to right, but we're going to go from right to left when working with big numbers." The only reason it makes any sense to you at all is that someone taught you how to do it that way.
In one sense, it was a great way to teach arithmetic, because you could fill a page with such problems on a standardized test and have kids prove (or not) they'd memorized a procedure to get an answer. And if you were like me, good at following and memorizing rules, you were pretty good at it. You picked up on that procedure quickly and could get all the problems on a page correct (if you didn't rush and make careless mistakes), but you didn't always understand exactly what you were doing (which is why you didn't catch your careless mistakes), or have any real understanding of how much bigger 90 was than 53 when you were done, which is why, when it came to higher level math, you struggled. In order to do higher level math — the sort of math being required more and more in this technological age — you needed to have a deep understanding of those numbers. Imagine teaching kids individual words without teaching them reading comprehension. Or teaching them grammar without teaching them how to write sentences and paragraphs that make sense.
Yes, the procedure on the right looks awkward on paper (you can probably blame that on standardized testing, too, because such tests require demonstration on paper), but what it represents is very smart, makes a lot of sense. Once a kid gets it, he or she can also be taught the "old" algorithm, which will make more sense to a child who actually understands the numbers than it did to all those people who grew up hating math. Don't be surprised, though, if he chooses not to use it. It just isn't as efficient. That kid might also use other techniques for adding numbers, because the fact is, there are almost always multiple ways to get an answer in math (bet no one ever taught you that, either).
Speaking of efficiency, kids are also being taught the best, most efficient way to do a problem. Sometimes — gasp! I know! — this means taking out a calculator to find out what 5,678 divided by 1,897 is. Believe me, by the time the child is taught that the calculator is the way to go with this one, she will know what division is and how to divide (at least, if she's got a teacher who's been taught how to teach math this way) and will be ready to move onto higher math.
Still don't believe me? Take a look at this brilliant example of "old math" versus "new math" from someone who actually teaches math.
Here, I hope you can clearly see that the algorithm, on the right, representing 3000 – 1, the way we were all taught, is an absurd way to do this problem.
My final word? If you're having trouble helping your child with his math homework, because you never got math, hated math, and find nothing in his work book resembling the algorithms you memorized, don't despair. You can learn to do math the "new way". You might even discover you enjoy it. Go online. Talk to teachers. Buy some books. Just, please, don't tell your child it's "okay" to be bad at math.

A lot of people want to do crafty projects, but the right project can be hard to find. If you are like that, you have come to the right place. Read on for great ideas to spark your creativity.
Do you need to find a place to get some craft materials? You can find everything you need on the Internet. A quick search will help you locate the best deals. You may even find a shop or two that offers free shipping, as well!
Never scold a child if he or she doesn't get a crafty project "quite right". The whole point of getting them involved is to let them express their creativity. You will not be able to do this if you are constantly pointing out areas in which the wrong thing may have been done.
Your children will get messy when they are taking part in arts and crafts. If that stresses you, prepare the area with newspaper in order to keep glue and glitter off your floor and furniture. You might also work with washable adhesives, markers and other things that can be washed away.
When you can't afford the supplies locally, try a thrift shop. Goodwill and other similar stores have a lot of stuff for clever crafters. Keep checking local stores on a regular basis to find new merchandise.
Look to Beadaholique to find lots of cool bead accessories for your jewelry projects. They have everything from chains to beads to findings. Costume jewelry is a big part of fashion nowadays. If you make your own, you have the power to both save money and also coordinate your wardrobe with your jewelry.
Put your focus on one element and keep it there. Many times it's tempting to begin several projects at once. This is how many projects stay unfinished. There is no need to rush; don't begin another project until you have finished the one you are working on. This will ensure it gets done.
Keep your supplies for arts and crafts organized. While you can store the things you need in a number of different ways, you need to find the one that suits you best. Organization will save you time. You also will be able to do easy inventory in your head.
An arts and crafts project is a terrific way to keep lots of kids, or even adults, entertained. No matter the age of the group you are working with, there are projects you can find that anyone can enjoy. Check online for some inspiration.
If you are talented in creating arts and crafts projects, begin making presents instead of buying them. It is possible to make personalized gifts year-round and use them as holiday presents. Most people prefer homemade gifts to store-bought, and the money you save each year will be worth the effort.
All craft enthusiasts love Etsy. Lots of craft items can be purchased there, or you may prefer to use the site as an inspiration for projects of your own. You can also sell your creations on Etsy, if you like.
Try out a Spirograph to explore the role of patterns in drawing. By using the stencils to create various shapes and patterns, your child can be introduced to the physics of wave patterns.
When you are enjoying arts and crafts activities with children, find learning opportunities. Let them count objects needed, subtract each one when used, read directions and similar things. Not only will they be having fun, but they will be learning.
Try putting an ad specifying the arts and crafts supplies you are looking for on a site that allows for exchanges and freebies. You could be stunned at the discoveries you make! You might find many people who are trying to discard the same supplies you need, so you may be able to acquire them for very little money or completely free.
Look for deals on the Internet. You can buy supplies from a variety of online vendors. Don't just rely on a big retailer. It won't be unusual for you to find that you can save quite a bit more money buying your supplies online than what you find in local stores.
Use several minutes to soak paint-saturated brushes in baby oil before attempting to wash them. If you want your brushes to last a long time, you must care for them properly.
While some craft projects are simply for decor, there are plenty of things you can make that will be useful in your own home, too. Create some decorations like cushions, flower pots, blinds, and picture frames. Once you make enough of something for your home, make more as personalized gifts to those in your life you care about.
Do you need inspiration for your next project? Take a good look outside for immediate inspiration. Nature can give you good insight into color. Look at photographs, go on the Internet, or just head outdoors to look for vibrant colors to copy as you work. You should find instant inspiration and creative ideas everywhere you look!
If you're wondering how you should organize your crafting space, think about organizing by the type of project(s) you make and the supplies you need. To make your crafting run more efficiently, finding ways to save your time would be very beneficial. Organize all your supplies and materials in one easy to find place to save you time.
Looking to pick up knitting, but confused where to begin? Many books can teach you about knitting, whether you are a beginner or a pro. You can learn just about everything you need simply by reading the directions and looking through all the pictures.
Expect to make a mess. Paint, glue and other materials can drip. This happens naturally when doing arts and crafts. If you plan beforehand, you won't get upset. If you aren't prepared for a mess, you risk permanently damaging or ruining something you didn't want to.
After reading the above article, your creative side should begin to come out. Many people try new craft projects every day, but they don't finish one. They do this because they lacked great tips like the ones above. Before you know it, you will be completing more complex projects quickly.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Model X: User Interface' started by scottm, Sep 30, 2015.
When you type in "relax" as the password under the T button on the console.
You get this:
What is that?
"Isolation Chamber" Amazon.com: Relaxman Relaxation Capsule: Health Personal Care
Given that it's the Model X, I wonder if there's an X-Wing Fighter Easter Egg somewhere. Name the car Red Five or something and it becomes an X-Wing Fighter matching the paint colour of the vehicle.
What about the x-mas Easter egg?? Does sound play though the speakers or do you just get the light show??
I hope it plays the music. Tesla will either have to obtain a license for it, or the owner could provide the song on a USB key fob. The Easter egg could find it by name easy enough.
Maybe that's the Easter egg, plug in a USB with an MP3 (tagged) of TSO's wizards in winter and it goes to light show mode while parked
Couldn't it launch the slacker channel for the song to play it?
I think it would require one more trigger. Can you imagine someone playing the song who didn't know? That would make for an interesting customer service call.
Could just be the only file on the USB or something like that
How do you locate the x-mas Easter egg? Got our X last Tuesday opened the "007" & Ludicrous eggs but really want to play the merry x-mas egg!
nobody knows yet, but Elon indicated that it's in there, just a matter of time until someone finds it.
He said it would be... I suspect it's not there yet.
I wonder if there's a Delorean Easter egg in there as well? Can you try:
gigawatts (or jigawatts)
Has anyone confirmed how to start this easter egg? Does it have to be a USB or can it be streamed?
Depending on software version it's either "modelxmas" or "holiday". (I think you need to be > 2.50.x for these) No USB stick needed.
There is also "mars".
Yes that's a cop. It's loud
iOS Video
YESSS!! Great video... can't wait for the update!
Ok, the pic with the police car is classic.
