SportsDirect Inc.
Recap: Red Sox 5, Tigers 3
Red Sox 5, Tigers 3: David Ortiz slammed a three-run go-ahead homer in the ninth as Boston stunned host Detroit and avoided a three-game sweep.
The Tigers gave struggling closer Joe Nathan the night off and went to Joba Chamberlain (1-3), who surrendered a leadoff single to Brock Holt before walking Dustin Pedroia with one out. Ortiz followed and ripped a 1-1 slider deep into the stands in right to help the Red Sox snap a five-game slide.
John Lackey (7-4) allowed three runs (two earned) in eight innings to pick up the win and Koji Uehara worked a scoreless ninth for his 12th save for Boston, which got a solo home run from Mike Napoli and four hits from Holt. Eugenio Suarez drove in two runs in his third career game and Miguel Cabrera had two hits and scored before leaving with a hamstring injury in the sixth for Detroit.
Pedroia got the Red Sox a quick lead on a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the third but Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez was able to avoid further damage by striking out Ortiz to end the inning. Austin Jackson led off the bottom of the frame with a single and scored on Suarez's single, and the Tigers took the lead when Cabrera and Victor Martinez opened the fourth with back-to-back doubles.
Napoli, who was activated off the 15-day disabled list earlier in the day, tied it again in the sixth by taking a fastball the opposite way into the stands in right-center as Sanchez was charged with two runs in six frames. Detroit took advantage of an error by third baseman Xander Bogaerts before pushing across the go-ahead run on Suarez's single through the left side in the bottom of the frame.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Cabrera was diagnosed with tightness in his left hamstring and is day-to-day. ... The Red Sox optioned OF Alex Hassan to Triple-A Pawtucket to clear a roster spot for Napoli. ... Boston RHP Clay Buchholz (knee) threw a three-inning simulated game and came through with no issues physically.

Cook County Board President Richard Phelan Sunday called on the governor and the General Assembly to reverse its decision to reinstate the suburban Cook County regional superintendent of schools.
Urged by Phelan, state lawmakers initially had decided to eliminate the $1.8 million office with 54 employees by June 30, 1994, with most of its responsibilities going to the State Board of Education. In June, however, the legislature approved a measure that re-establishes the office on a smaller scale.

Some boats are called junks. These boats are junk.
Materials Needed
you decide!
Using recycled materials from your house, build a boat that can sail across a pool, or a bathtub, using only your own wind power. Also, you have to stay in one place when you blow on your boat.
You can also send us your pictures or video of this ZOOMsci:
Box 350
Boston, MA 02134
Andrea D. of Farmington Hills, MI
I used a dish, but it just sank. I think it was because it was too heavy. Then I used a very larg plastic bag that I shaped so no water could get in and it worked!
Katie R., age 7
My Junk Boat did float.
Klaire B., age 5 of Ozark, MO
I went looking and found a lot of trash. I used a Coke bottle and a water bottle. The one I made out of a pie pan with a sponge and a pencil and a coffee filter for the sail worked the best. I made one with a piece of cardboard and a feather it floated good too.
Allison C., age 8 of Londonderry, NH
I made mine out of a strafome meat tray and I cut the part in front like a triangle. I used one of those to use in the back for a rudder for the sail I used a zip-lock bag with the zip-lock cut off. I balanced it with marbles.
Ben W., age 4 of Dresher, PA
I put a piece of cardboard in water, and it held 41 pennies before it sank. Then we used a plastic holder for 20 mini quiches, and we fit 88 pennies on it. It would have held a lot more, but we ran out of pennies.
Deanna K., age 13 of Sydney, NS
For my Junk Boat, I used cardboard, toilet paper rolls, pennies, tape, and tin foil. First, I took the cardboard and tested it to see if it would float. It did but after awhile it started to get soft so I decided to put tin foil under it to keep it afloat. After that I decided that I needed a sail, so I cut the toilet paper role in half and taped it down on one side of the cardboard and on the side of the toilet paper role I taped a piece of tin foil and I curved it a little. So I tested that out. It worked because the tin foil caught air which caused it to move. But there was one problem, my boat was tipping over because all of the weight was on one side. So I taped the other half of the toilet paper role on the opposite side of the boat and put 5 pennies in it. It worked!!! My sister also made a boat, but hers didn't turn out so well. When we raced them hers just spun around in circles. I think it was because her sail was too small. Anyway, I won the race! Thanks so much for the idea! I love your show!!!
Katie M., age 11 of Winslow, IL
When I made the junk boat it worked out great. I made mine out of toothpicks. It was really groovy!!
Nicole K., age 10 of Canada, NS
For my junk boat I used cardboard, tinfoil and a pencil. I put a piece of cardboard in the water to see if it would float it did but it got soggy. So I put tinfoil on the bottem. It worked good but I wanted it to go faster so I put a mass on the bottem. I made my mass out of card board and tinfoil. To make my sail I taped a pencil to the cardboard and then I taped a piece of tinfoil to the pencil. I tried to sail it and it worked, it went fast when I blew it!!! By the way I love your show!!!
Andrea G., age 10 of San Jose, CA
It did not work. I used a pie tin.
Darrin M., age 11 of Post Falls, ID
My junk boat won all 10 races!
Jessica K., age 13 of VA
I used lots of things around the house. Mine couldent stay up becuase of the wieght. Then I tried another one, and it was too light. Why do you think that is?
Kristi B., age 11 of CA
I built a junk boat that was very complicated! This is how it was built: I taped toothpicks together to make the base. On one side of it, I covered it with tape and stuck popcorn kernels to the tape. I blew up four balloons just a tiny bit so they could fit on the base and taped them on there, each facing each other to make a square. I found a square piece of plastic and on the bottom, taped a folded napkin. Then I placed that on the balloons and, of course, taped it on. On the top of the plastic, I taped a folded sheet of paper with a hole I made in it. I stuck through the hole a longer toothpick and taped it in place. Like on Zoom, I attatched a sandwitch bag to the toothpick to catch the wind. When I tried it out, it didn't work that well, but it did float! I was surprised because it looked so heavy! This was really fun! Thank you Zoom!
Sean G., age 9 of Toledo, OH
It floated and it sailed in the direction of the wind.

The past weeks i'm spending my free time with building a application using Laravel 5.4, but I wanted to use an UUID on a few models. So I did what I always do, go look on packagist to find if somebody already done that work for me. And they did, but what I found was either over engineered and / or implementing their own logic of creating and validating the UUID.
But I know that Laravel comes with the UUID package of Ben Ramsey so that kind of bugged me a lot. Why duplicate logic when there is a battle tested library reachable within the /vendor folder?
This was a good opportunity to dive in the world of Laravel models,and especially the events (https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/eloquent#events ) that models fire off. Sure I could've done the same per model, but somewhere I read that the proper way of doing this was using a trait and a event.
The model, the code and the trait.
Firstly I added a UUID to my table with a migration and added the UUID as fillable to my model. Not sure if that actually needs to be fillable. But it got the job done ;)
The UP of the migration
public function up()
Schema::create('images', function (Blueprint $table) {
The model with UUID
namespace App\Models;
use \App\Traits\Uuids;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Image extends Model
use Uuids;
protected $fillable = [
Now I could have added the code of the trait to this post, but I thought it was more usable as a GIST on github.
There are two methods in the trait, first there is the static::creating in the boot method, add a static method that is executed just before the model get's persisted to the database. And within that method I use create a new UUID4 and set the value to the uuid field on the model. For convenience I've added a config variable to the app namespace that allows me to globally change the UUID column in the model.
Then there is the ScopeUuid() method that allows me to receive the model from the database simple by calling Image::Uuid('a8c33a08-04b0-4af3-a972-60d3587a7f4a'); and retrieve on Model class back. This method validates if the passed UUID is actually a valid on.
That's it, one simple trait and I had all the UUID handling I needed for now.
(disclaimer, if I made mistakes or wrong assumptions, find me on twitter and tell me. I'm new to Laravel and still learning about the ins and outs of the framework)

In looking at the nations born from the implosion of the USSR, perhaps the most confusing to people in the West are the new nations of Central Asia, those that are sometimes simply called "the Stans." An easy way to translate "stan" at the tail end of a nation's name might be "the land of." Thus, Afghanistan is the land of the Afghans, and the rather large Kazakhstan is the land of the Kazakhs. Likewise, Uzbekistan is the land of the Uzbeks. The five nations we will look at here all were incorporated into a growing Russian Empire in the 19th century, or the young Soviet Union in the beginning of the 20th. All proclaimed independence shortly after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. All have some amazing history, but not as independent nations with their current names and boundaries.
Kazakhstan The largest of the central Asian republics, Kazakhstan's national bank was organized shortly after the break-up of the Soviet Union, in 1993. It issued a series of circulating coins immediately afterwards, using a system in which 100 tiyin were equal to 1 tenge. The first series of coins ranged from the small 2 tiyin pieces up to 50 tiyin, all in bronze, then from 1 up to 20 tenge, all in a cupronickel.
Collecting World Coins A focused approach to world coin collecting, catering to the needs of the collector interested only in coinage minted for circulation in the past 100+ years. Click here to get your copy today!
Unfortunately, high inflation rates in the 1990s chewed up the value that these coins had, and a new series with higher denominations was issued in 1995. If there's any silver lining to that, it's that these first circulating coins are now priced so that they reside in dealers' bargain bins. The web site for the national bank (www.nationalbank.kz/?docid=1) can be accessed in English, and like many of the websites of central banks in former Soviet republics, displays a rather large assortment of commemorative coins covering quite the spread of themes. Curiously, the commemoratives of Kazakhstan fall into two broad categories: those made of precious metal and those designed to circulate. While there are plenty of 500 tenge and even 1,000 tenge precious metal commemorative pieces out there for the patient collector, there are also quite a few 50 tenge pieces made of copper-nickel. This makes for a wonderfully inexpensive set of coins, if you have the patience to hunt them down. Themes and designs are eclectic, to say the least, but there are quite a few that are space-related. The reason is that the Baikonur Cosmodrome, built by the Soviets in the 1950s, is located in Kazakhstan and remains something of a point of pride. Not to be left out of the bullion coin market, Kazakhstan has also recently started its Silver and Golden Irbis series. Sometimes called snow leopards in the west, these coins are issued in the usual 1/10-ounce, 1/4-ounce, 1/2-ounce, and 1-ounce sizes and trade at or just above the prices for their precious metal. While they have not yet become a big player on the precious metals market, the vast mineral wealth of the region may change that in coming years. Uzbekistan Just south of Kazakhstan and sharing a border with it is Uzbekistan, which may seem like just another new nation with an odd name, but which is actually a confederation of 13 smaller lands, some of which are almost completely autonomous under the Uzbek flag. For instance, what is often called Karakalpakstan is actually an autonomous region that shares the borders of what is left of the Aral Sea with Kazakhstan to its north. While it does use the same coins as all of the rest of Uzbekistan right now, the irrigation that drains the major rivers going into the Aral Sea makes the drying and disappearance of that sea over the past 50 years a cause that is far more important to the people of Karakalpakstan than to anyone else in the nation. Environmental issues like this, as well as other regional concerns, mean there already appears to be a loose movement to independence in some areas, which may ultimately produce yet another set of coins for collectors. Right now, the Uzbek monetary system remains one in which 100 tiyin make up 1 som. The word "som" apparently derives from the word for "pure," implying pure gold or silver. Like many of the countries in the area, coins were produced soon after independence. But here as well, inflation consumed any value the first issues had, making them inexpensive items in dealers' stocks today. The most recent circulating pieces start at a small denomination of 5 som, meaning the tiyin are pretty much a thing of the past. When it comes to commemorative coinage, some good news is that Uzbekistan has gotten into the game, both in circulating commemoratives and in silver. The bad news is that the web site of the National Bank of Uzbekistan (www.cbu.uz/) is only in the local languages and Russian. There does not yet appear to be a translated version of it in English. Collectors will probably have to stick with buying from well-stocked dealers or from large shows, at least in the immediate future. Kyrgyzstan Farther east, right up against China, Kyrgystan is a mountainous land with more potential than existing wealth. One of the poorest countries in Asia, Krygystan did not issue circulating coins until 2008, while at the same time being an exporter of gold for several years. Once again, 100 tiyin make 1 som, and if you can find the base metal circulating coins today, they don't usually cost too much. Kyrgyzstan also has produced a series of commemorative 1 som pieces, and a series of 10 som silver commems that span a wide variety of themes and designs, and even a few gold 100 som pieces. One that may be of particular interest to collectors is the 2003 silver 10 som piece that commemorates the 10th anniversary of the som itself, and thus is a coin featuring coins as the reverse design. Believe it or not, this poor nation has a national bank with a website that can be accessed in English (www.nbkr.kg/index.jsp?lang=ENG). Put together and run as professionally as that of many larger banks and financial institutions, it isn't hard to see the entire spectrum of Kyrgystani commemoratives, and to find numerous images (although not all of the coins at the website have accessible photos as well). Tajikistan Continuing our jaunt through Central Asia brings us next to Tajikistan, another nation with an ancient tradition, but only modern coins for its modern borders. This time the monetary system is 100 dirams that make up one somoni, and the official website of the National Bank of Tajikistan does a very good job of showing even the base metal, circulating coins, from the lowly 1 diram up to the 5 Somoni, at www.nbt.tj/en/banknotes_coins/coins.php. While Tajikistan also has a series of commemorative coins, it does not seem to be as extensive as that of its neighbors. But the silver 1, 3, and 5 Somoni pieces do seem to be well focused, with designs commemorating national events, such as the 10th anniversary of the constitution or the 15th of independence. Turkmenistan Moving to the final of our five "Stans," we come to Turkmenistan and a monetary system that encompasses 100 tenne (sometimes spelled "tenge") into 1 manat. Like most of the post-Soviet republics, Turkmenistan produced a series of coins rather quickly. The first series, dated 1993, spanned from the little 1 tenge all the way up to the 50 tenge. But like so many other of the coinage systems of the new republics, the inflation that hit after independence wiped out the value of these coins. By 1999, another set of manat coins was issued, this time with values of 500 and 1,000 manat. The smaller tenge were long gone. But today, coins from both of these issues are not too expensive, assuming you can find them. In 2009, Turkmenistan tried again, reforming its coinage and producing another series that went from 1 tenge up to 50 but now with 1 and 2 manat bimetallic pieces, which were introduced in 2010. These new coins all sport a map of the nation, while the older ones were all required to show the head of state. Once again, there is also a central bank of Turkmenistan with a web site at www.cbt.tm/index.html, and again, this one does not seem to have a button to translate it to English. Intriguingly, though, the written native language is close enough to our standard, Western script that some curiosity-driven clicking will yield a great deal of information. For example, under "milli pul birligi," one can find pictures and descriptions (if you can read them!) of many of the current, commemorative gold and silver coins. The commems of Turkmenistan are as plentiful as a collector could want, and not only span the issues of the last few years, but go back over a decade, through an array of themes that often have a common obverse, but multiple reverses. Getting hold of them might be the biggest challenge, at least for collectors in the West. The Future? It seems obvious that one of the continuing troubles of the "Stans" is that inflation has repeatedly eaten up the value of their monetary systems, keeping the financial leaders constantly in a bind when it comes to producing coins (and currency) for their peoples. The oil and mineral wealth of the area means the international community will probably continue to forge business connections with these five nations and pump in hard currency in the process. Indeed, there was a major, "EU – Central Asia Energy Finance & Investment Summit" held in Vienna in late 2011 to discuss these very problems. This may help stabilize the money of these nations. Right now, though, these growing pains mean the "Stans" may continue to produce new coinage systems or continue to build extensive, often beautiful series of commemoratives in base metals or in silver and gold.

Lord Gainford asked Her Majesty's Government:
What was the outcome of the State Veterinary Service's surveillance of the handling of Specified Bovine Offals in November and December 1995.
Lord Lucas: The State Veterinary Service (SVS) continued to make unannounced visits to slaughterhouses, hunt kennels and knackeries in November and December 1995 to monitor their handling of Specified Bovine Offals (SBOs). The results of these visits were:
22 Jan 1996 : Column WA55
|Hunt Kennels and Knackeries
|November 1995
|Number visits
|Number unsatisfactory visits
|Percentage unsatisfactory
|December 1995
|Number visits
|Number unsatisfactory visits
|Percentage unsatisfactory
Many of the failings found were of a comparatively mild naturefor example, problems with staining SBOs or with record keeping. There were however some more serious cases, including incidents in which small pieces of spinal cord were left attached to carcases after dressing in slaughterhouses. Eight such instances were detected in November and two in December, the most recent on 14 December; there have been none so far in January 1996. A total of 21 instances in which spinal cord was left attached to carcases have now been detected since the SVS surveillance programme of slaughterhouses began in the summer.
The results of similar surveillance visits to rendering and incineration plants handling SBOs will be announced shortly.
We welcome these significant improvements in the handling of SBOs by slaughterhouses, hunt kennels and knackeries. We expect those that have attained a satisfactory level of performance to maintain the standards they are now achieving, and would expect that those plants which have failed to do so will work harder to ensure they do fully comply with the controls. The SVS will continue its unannounced surveillance visits to plants handling SBOs.
Lord Freyberg asked Her Majesty's Government:
From whom successive Secretaries of State have sought advice before giving their consent, under the National Maritime Museum Act 1934, for the trustees of the museum to de-access any object deemed to be superfluous.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of National Heritage (Lord Inglewood): The museum's board of trustees is best placed to advise on the merits of whether or not to retain an object. The Secretary of State accordingly takes her decision on the basis of the case put to her by the museum for each disposal.
Lord Freyberg asked Her Majesty's Government:
Since the National Maritime Museum Act 1934, when the National Maritime Museum was given permission to de-access duplicates in its inventory, how many paintings have been sold from the collection on the grounds that they are duplicates, to whom, for how much, in what year and by what
Lord Inglewood: The National Maritime Museum does not require the Secretary of State's permission under its Act of 1934 to dispose of duplicates. However, I understand that since 1990, 10 duplicate paintings have been sold. Details are below. In most cases the disposal was by auction and the final purchaser was not known.
Information on paintings sold prior to 1990 is not held centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

Lord Freyberg asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they consider that an exhibit in the inventory of the National Maritime Museum deemed to be superfluous to the collection should first be offered to another national collection free of charge, as it already belongs to the nation.
Lord Inglewood: When disposing of an object which has been de-accessioned, the National Maritime Museum follows current Museums Association guidelines. Under these guidelines, unwanted objects are advertised in the Museums Journal to give interested parties the opportunity to make their interest known. In some cases the museum has approached other national institutions when it is known or thought they may have an interest. The terms of any transfer of objects between two museums are a matter for the parties.
Lord Lester of Herne Hill asked the Chairman of Committees:
Which categories of parliamentary documents exist in electronic form so as to be capable of being distributed within and outside Parliament.
The Chairman of Committees (Lord Boston of Faversham): Hansard, Public Bills and Select Committee reports are mostly originated in electronic
22 Jan 1996 : Column WA57
form but no category is yet exclusively originated in that form. The question of electronic distribution is under active consideration in both Houses.
Lord Lester of Herne Hill asked the Chairman of Committees:
Whether the Supply and Service Agreement between the House of Lords and HMSO for the provision of printing and publishing services is intended to be contractually binding; and if not, whether its terms will be enforceable at law.
The Chairman of Committees: The Supply and Service Agreement is not contractual is not intended to be enforceable at law. In the event of HMSO being privatised, the agreement will have to be replaced by one or more legally enforceable contracts.
Lord Lester of Herne Hill asked the Chairman of Committees:
Whether it is intended that the administration of parliamentary copyright should be done by HMSO; and, and if so, upon what terms will this be done; and, if not, what is intended in this respect.
The Chairman of Committees: Parliamentary copyright is administered by HMSO at present. Decisions have not yet been taken about the future administration of parliamentary copyright, in the event of HMSO being privatised. Since part of HMSO may remain in the public sector to administer Crown copyright, one option is for that part to be invited to administer parliamentary copyright under agreements with both Houses.
Lord Kennet asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether, as reported, Trident refitting is now to be entrusted to an American owned firm, and whether this is compatible with the independence the British nuclear forces are intended to demonstrate.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence (Earl Howe): Negotiations on the design and build of the facilities for refitting Vanguard class and, ultimately, all nuclear powered submarines at Devonport are proceeding with the consortium forming Devonport Management Ltd. While negotiations are proceeding it would not be appropriate to speculate about the outcome. A decision on contract award is expected in the first part of this year. The ultimate ownership of any company entrusted with the work would have no effect on the operational independence of the national deterrent.

CNET First Look
Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet (8GB)The latest Nook costs the same as the Kindle Fire and has the same amount of storage, but also comes with an expandable microSD card slot.
Hi. I'm Scott Stein, Senior Editor at CNET and has 199 the new entry level price for a color E-reader Tablet. Certainly seems to be the case because the Kindle Fire was 199 last year and now the 8 Gigabyte Nook Tablet has debuted at 199, the same price with the set of specs that matches the Kindle Fire on a number of levels. Last year's Nook Tablet was 16 Gigabytes in its storage capacity and costs $250. Its 8 Gigabyte version halves the internal storage. It also halves the amount of RAM down to 512 Megabytes supposed to 1 Gig. The RAM you may not really notice. In fact, on our test unit here, seems like apps work reasonably well. It's a matter of expectation and relative (zippiness?) . But storage, you will notice. In fact, that 8 Gigabytes of storage, only some of it is user accessible. The way that Barnes & Noble breaks down storage on the 8 Gigabyte Tablet, 1.5 Gigabytes is accessible for the Barnes & Noble Nook store. That means apps and books. That's not a lot of storage space. (??), well some of it is in the system software and then there's 4 Gigabytes that's set to be user accessible. Now as you may know, if you are Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet user or you may not know, there are no cloud music download services or video download services like you get on the Kindle Fire. Sure there is Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, a lot of ways to stream music. If you want music files or full length videos that are not streamed via WiFi, you're gonna have to side load that, which means you connect this to a PC and take those files and put them on to your Nook Tablet. That's when that 4 Gigabytes of storage comes in. Plus you do get a micro SD card slot. That's a big deal because the Kindle Fire has no expandable storage. This is a micro SD card slot, it's expandable up to 32 Gig like the Nook Tablet before it. Now, the advantages of the Nook Tablet versus the Kindle Fire, one, the quality of the screen. We find it, it's a little bit better than the Kindle Fire and Netflix looks even a little bit sharper streaming on the Nook Tablet and that certainly is saying that Barnes & Noble has (touted?) on the Nook Tablet devices that have come out in the past year. Now the cons, you're not gonna have that cloud music and video service. So if you want to download a movie say and watch it on a plane. It's a little harder to do on this. In fact, it's not possible unless you start using things like Netflix and Hulu Plus right now and those are subscription based services. Plus there's a question of your ecosystem. Obviously, where will you have the most books or magazines or apps, that's probably where you wanna go. And as far as apps go, it's like the Kindle Fire. It's a (curative?) selection of apps. Maybe not quite as diverse as what's on the Kindle Fire where you got a lot of your major games covered, Angry Birds of course and a lot of others. Now, at the same time, there is the Nook color making it even more confusing. That's the previous generation color 7-inch Tablet that looks nearly identical and costs 169 now, dropping the price a little bit. It also has 8 Gigabytes of storage. So what's the difference? The screen is not quite so great. The processor is a little slower. And honestly, for a 30-buck difference, you might just wanna go with the newest generation, one for app compatibility. The real question for users is gonna come down to, if you're gonna buy 16 Gigabyte or an 8 Gigabyte version. That attributable storage could be a big deal. Allocating only 1.5 Gigabyte of storage to Nook Store Apps is very limiting. Now on the 16 Gigabyte version that jumps up to about 12 Gigabytes and that's a lot more space. Frankly, the Nook Tablet is really nicely designed. I feel like it a little bit more in its overall field than Kindle Fire because of its clean line. Its dedicated volume. Buttons off to the side and it's got that song Little (Carabinner?) over there. I think it's cute. I'm Scott Stein and that's a look at the 8 Gigabyte version of the Nook Tablet that just became available at 199

Girl Power
Coercion, money, and the rise of reproductive freedom.
Two and a half billion people live in China or India. That's eight times the population of the United States and more than one-third of the world's total. But it's less than it would have been by hundreds of millions of people, thanks in part to two brutal practices: a Chinese limit of one child per family and widespread abortions of unborn Indian girls.
Those practices may be on the way out.
India has just announced a plan to pay families for raising girls. Give birth to a daughter, and you'll get a cash installment. Vaccinate her, and you'll get another. Enroll her in school, keep her there, nourish her adequately, and you'll keep collecting. "We will pay the money in stages and monitor how they are brought up," the country's minister for women and children, Renuka Chowdhury, said this week. Total payout: up to $5,000 per daughter. Chowdhury is explicit about the program's first objective: stopping sex-selective abortions.
Meanwhile, China is rethinking its one-child policy. Last year, dissenters within the Communist Party moved to abandon the policy. A week ago, Zhao Baige, vice minister of the country's family-planning commission, told reporters that the policy had "become a big issue among decision makers" and that the government was studying whether to phase it out. The commission denies that the policy will change, but the fight is now out in the open.
What's going on? Coercive state power, even under communism, is failing. In procreation, as in profit-making, governments are increasingly working with individual choice instead of against it. They're learning to respect both the value of women and the ecology of the family. And it isn't ideology that's selling this change of mindset to governments or to the citizens they're trying to influence. It's sheer pragmatism.
Twenty years ago, China commonly enforced its one-child policy through forced sterilizations and abortions. This produced outrage at home and abroad. Citizens with money or connections evaded the limit. When the government shifted its enforcement methods from compulsion to fines, the evasion became explicit. The rich can pay to have extra kids; the urban poor can't.
The policy's purpose was to limit population to a level that the country's resources could support. Defenders of the policy still make that argument. But critics, even within the government, say the limit has backfired. There aren't enough young workers to support the aging older generation. Labor shortages are slowing economic growth. Kids used to grow up and take care of their parents; now they can't because this has become a one-on-two assignment, not counting their day jobs. Critics also argue that a generation of kids who grew up without siblings has become psychologically warped and socially destructive. What unites these indictments is a sense that messing with the ecology of the family has done more harm than good.
The shift in enforcing the policy, from force to fines, was a concession to this ecology and to personal choice. It mirrored the government's concessions to capitalism. If you really want something, including a second child, you can pay for it, provided you have the money. And if you and your spouse have no siblings, the policy now allows you a second kid without a fine. Your kids will have a fighting chance at taking care of you.
Defenders of the policy have always feared that if the cap were lifted, population would explode. What's driving the reform movement is growing confidence that this calculation is mistaken. Zhao says surveys show that today's young Chinese don't want the big families of yesteryear. Sixty percent want no more than two kids; few want more than three. Over the last 30 years, the number of kids each family would produce if given total freedom has fallen from 5.8 to 1.8. That's below the replacement rate. What's needed now, Zhao suggests, is policies that facilitate this preference, such as contraceptive education.
The one-child policy has also warped China's male-to-female ratio. If you live in a traditional, sexist society, you probably want a boy. If you're allowed only one child and you find out you're carrying a girl, things get ugly. At birth, the normal boy-girl ratio, if you let nature take its course, is about 105 to 100. In China, it's 118 to 100. Leaving aside the fact that it's just plain wrong to abort girls for being girls, a ratio of 118 to 100 leaves 18 boys without a girl. Even a Communist knows that's a social disaster. To avert it, Zhao says, the government is trying to persuade the public that girls are valuable. It's also subsidizing rural areas that have regarded sons as financial assets and girls as liabilities.
On that question, India is moving in the same direction. Like China, India has a sex-selection problem. A recent study calculated that over the last two decades, 10 million Indian girls have been aborted. The most recent estimated rate is 7,000 per day. Nationwide, the number of girls born for every 1,000 boys is 933. In some regions, it's below 900. Much of the reason is economic. In parts of India, as in China, boys are regarded as assets, while girls require dowries so that somebody else's son will support them.
In India, as in China, central mandates have failed. The country's ban on sex-selective abortion has proved unenforceable. Chowdhury is trying a different tack. Instead of telling parents what to do, she's offering what she calls an "incentive." You can lecture parents all day about the value of raising girls, but the best way to make them appreciate that value is to make it concrete and immediate. Chowdhury thinks her subsidies will persuade parents "to look upon the girl as an asset rather than a liability since her very existence would lead to cash inflow to the family." Over time, she hopes, the education and employment of women will "help in changing their mindsets towards the girl."
Will it work? I don't know. Nor am I certain that reproductive freedom, coupled with family planning, will rectify China's demographic imbalances without leading to a population explosion. But I bet they'll work better than preaching and prohibition have.

A really embarrassing incident happened to me on Friday. So you know how earlier this year, I mentioned that I've become a new fan of rings? Well, that fandom got me into a little bit of trouble. While getting ready Friday morning, I put on my rings a little bit too quickly and on the wrong hands. The reason why they need to be on specific hands is because my right-handed fingers are a little bit fatter than my left-handed fingers. As I got to work, I started to become really irritated by it and I couldn't let it go. In between working I would ice my right hand to get the swelling to go down, but that was pretty inconvenient because that's my "mouse" hand. When that didn't work, I used lotion, olive oil, and soapy water. The two rings on my right hand weren't budging. After a call in the middle afternoon, I got up and started feeling a little woozy and panic started to set in that the rings were really cutting my circulation and they needed to come off NOW. After obtaining a piece of string, my coworker used the trick exemplified in the video below, but I would say that the intensity level of what was actually being done to me was 10x what was show in the video. My rings felt like they were sucked to my finger and the string had to be wrapped around my finger in two turns continually cutting off my circulation even more and essentially turning my finger purple. I couldn't even watch it as it was happening, but one co-worker thought it would make a good Snapchat story.
Thank goodness for helpful co-workers, but what would I had done if I were on my own?!

It came as a surprise when Ryu Murakami, who has made his name with a series of lurid novels that examine Japan's changing sexual order, published a career guide for teenagers. The book provoked a storm when it appeared in Japan last summer, striking a deep chord of anxiety with adolescents uncertain about their futures, and it quickly sold hundreds of thousands of copies. But Hello Work is not an ordinary guide. It lists more than 500 different occupations, which Murakami connects to a range of childrens' interests, from unassuming options - including sports and science - to more outrageous choices such as war, weapons and sex. His tone remains matter-of-fact throughout: the section about sex workers, for example, highlights the "risks and dangers" for those who "sell their bodies" and concludes that prostitution is a career in which people find it "difficult to feel fulfilled".
In the Miso Soup, the fourth of Murakami's novels to be published in English, first published in Japan in 1997, is similarly equivocal about the sex trade. Set in Kabuki-cho, Tokyo's red-light district, the thriller follows 20-year-old Kenji, an engaging, chinless "night-life guide", as he takes Frank, a flabby American businessman, on a tour of peep shows and "lingerie pubs". The money is good, but Kenji soon finds the job burdensome - Frank is not the client he had expected. "He'd described himself as white and stocky and looking a bit like Ed Harris in profile," Kenji tells us. Frank, it turns out, looks nothing like Ed Harris - and this is only the first of our decent narrator's unpleasant discoveries: "It took me a while to pinpoint exactly what was so odd… The skin. It looked almost artificial, as if he'd been horribly burned and the doctors had resurfaced his face with this fairly realistic man-made material."
There is no shortage of terrors in Murakami's novel - as Frank suffers a psychological breakdown, his obsessions emerge. This off-kilter American is a creepy, solitary, nocturnal figure, caught in the grip of his inner desires. But any pleasures he enjoys are shortlived: Frank is full of self-loathing, and his search for sexual gratification is fruitless.
In his earlier fiction, Murakami's lack of restraint encouraged the reader's animosity. Coin Locker Babies, for example, a bizarre and often brilliant novel about two boys who are abandoned to die, discovered in lockers and packed off to an orphanage, sets out to shock from its opening line: "The woman pushed on the baby's stomach and sucked its penis into her mouth; it was thinner than the American menthols she smoked and a bit slimy, like raw fish." At times, Murakami's attempts to go beyond the pale can feel cynical and slick. But the nightmare scenarios in Coin Locker Babies develop by way of incremental detail; the novel's understated prose creates a sense of plausibility that reels in the reader.
Sex, loneliness, brutality and madness - this is the mixture with which Murakami baits his novels. In the Miso Soup conforms to type. The plot is subordinate here: Frank's behaviour becomes increasingly sinister and Kenji fears that the American's hell-raising will lead to catastrophe. Atmosphere predominates, and the claustrophobia of the backstreets of Tokyo and the mad glee of Frank's hunt for the right prostitute are intensely imagined.
But the excitement of the chase wears thin. And the mounting implausibility of Frank's acts of violence - the unresisted aggression of a two-dimensional villain - makes the later stages of the novel ponderous. The brutality that is intended to make readers wince is derivative; Murakami's exploration of the origins of evil is hackneyed. In the Miso Soup winds up as a dissection of the ugly fantasies of disconnected people in big cities - and we've had our noses rubbed in all of that too many times before.

Council Watch
Walmart's Fans and Foes
People turned up at the Monday, June 4 meeting to comment on the proposal to put a Walmart at Coors and Montaño. The Council deferred a vote on whether to give the big-box chain five years to create a development plan. Councilor Brad Winter was absent, and Councilor Rey Garduño said he had to recuse himself from the vote.
The Downtown Neighborhood Development Sector Plan was unanimously approved. The plan emphasizes walkable neighborhoods, a mix of businesses and the preservation of historic houses [" History in the Houses," May 31-June 6].
Former District Judge Tommy Jewell will sit in as interim independent review officer. The person who occupies the post examines citizen complaints against the Albuquerque Police Department. Jewell succeeds William Deaton, who retired June 1. Jewell is not one of the candidates who are being vetted for the permanent position. The city expects to have three options by August, said Chief Administrative Office Rob Perry.
The next meeting is set for 5 p.m. on Monday, June 18, in the Council Chambers in the basement of City Hall. You can also view it on GOV TV 16 or at cabq.gov/govtv.

Archive Autumn - That Would Be Myself
Just after I wrote the first draft of this post, I turned on the radio to the news that the Queen's English Society was closing down. This post, therefore, is a tribute to them...
A few weeks ago I made a comment on facebook about my current grammar hang-up. It got a lot of comments from people agreeing with me! I like it when people use correct grammar. I also know, that I don't do it all the time, not even when writing, so I try not to get too angry about such things. Grammar fascists do not make good party guests.
However, this particular trend was really annoying me. Why do some people insist on using 'myself' and 'yourself', instead of 'me' (or 'I') and 'you'? It's terrible English, and the bit that really annoys me is that they don't seem to be doing it just because their English is bad; they appear to be doing it to make themselves look better - as if the more letters they say in one sentence, the more impressive it is. It was The Apprentice that tipped me over the edge. I know what you're thinking - anybody who watches The Apprentice doesn't have the right to criticise anybody else - but it's not just them. I got an e-mail once from an editor of something I contributed to, which said something along the lines of, " ---- or myself will send you the contract". An editor. I almost sent an e-mail back saying, "Myself will sign the contract when yourself has sent it to me," but decided that was not the best way to develop a good working relationship.
I won't continue the rant here, but it got me thinking about these hang-ups. I guess we all have them - writers perhaps more than most. I've learned to my cost that one of my loyal readers does not approve of 'alright' (apparently it should always be 'all right'), and another is driven crazy by 'try and...' instead of 'try to...' (something which annoys me too, but I still have to correct it in my own work all the time!). So what's your hang-up? And what do you find yourself doing - if you dare admit to it?!
I suppose the real question in all of this is: does it really matter? Does it matter if good grammar disappears? Everything in me screams 'YES!', but our language is evolving and the changing use of grammar is part of that. I once jokingly corrected a friend who said 'wedding invites' instead of 'wedding invitations', and one of her friends - who (or should that be whom?) I didn't know - told me that as the common usage of words change over time, I was stupid for not thinking 'invites' was perfectly acceptable now. I didn't really have an answer. Why should we cherish some points of grammar and not others?
I quite happily google things and facebook someone, when technically Google and Facebook started as nouns. I pronounce the word "garage" as gar-idge. I know some people hate that and think it should be pronounced with a long vowel in the middle and soft ending. But I bet those same people pronounce "village" as vill-idge. They are both words we took from the French, so why do people get hung-up on one and not the other?
What are you happy to let slide when it comes to good English? Are your standards different for written and spoken English? Have you got any good examples of terrible grammar you've spotted anywhere?

I can reveal that I am that loyal reader. But I've given up the battle on alright and all other Americanisms - the fight has been lost! We are now on teams instead of in them, sit on butts instead of backsides, have pinkies instead of little fingers, we are all guys, and I'm SO over getting worked up about it!ReplyDelete
I notice bad grammar, but it doesn't bother me all that much when I see it. Sometimes it just makes me chuckle. I understand that many people like me are in a hurry and just don't check things. Of course, many people just don't know they're wrong too.ReplyDelete
But we all make mistakes. I know the difference between your and you're but I've sometimes typed out your when it should be you're. I guess the amount of forgiveness for those things, :) depends on where it is. A casual email, who cares. A major/national marketing campaign--that's a bit more of an eye roller.Replies
On Facebook people jump on me all the time for spelling mistakes and typos. They think because I'm a writer it shouldn't happen to me. It's very tedious. I don't write things on Facebook for the sake of writing beautiful prose! Context is everything.Delete

Hillsboro Pineland Natural Area is a 1 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Pompano Beach, Florida that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round.
kid friendly
road biking
trail running
wild flowers
no dogs
The site lies in the historic transition zone between the high-and-dry Atlantic Coastal Ridge of eastern Broward County and the now-drained Everglades of urbanized western Broward. Located near the headwaters of both the historic Hillsboro River and Cypress Creek, the area was once a vast landscape Habitat: Mosaic of natural vegetation communities including both pine upland and wetland habitats. The site features pine flatwoods common to this part of Broward County, with surface rock outcroppings and a variety of grasses and wildflowers. Vegetation: Slash pine, saw palmetto, myrsine, gallberry, staggerbush, beautyberry, cypress, swamp fern, sword fern, wax myrtle, muhly grass, and yellowtop. Wildlife: Several species of hawks, various wood warblers, owls, woodpeckers, different species of wading birds, and various species of butterflies including zebra longwing. Amenities: Covered overlooks, concrete walkway, restrooms, benches, interpretive signage, 2,334 feet of elevated boardwalk and nature trail. Wildlife observation is encouraged, although bicycles, inline skates, skateboards, and motorized vehicles are prohibited on the trails. As with all natural area sites, pets are not allowed.
nice and peaceful trail... just a quick easy trail to get away from the busy traffic just outside. .. shaded and cemented path ways. lots of butterflies.
nothing too fantastic if you really want to see much in way of wildlife. close to traffic so there's a distraction, plus there's a bus stop along the front trail and you can see homes through the trees. however, being a short, paved trail and having a couple nice resting spots, it's great for preschool kids.

Large-sized, Chemically Strengthened Dragontrail (TM) Enables Efficient Production of Thinner Touchscreens
- AGC to Set Up New Chemical Strengthening Facility in Japan -
Feb 21, 2013, 12:00 EST
TOKYO, Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. (hereinafter AGC) will newly set up a chemical strengthening facility for Dragontrail (TM), specialty glass used as cover glass for smart phones and tablet PCs, at its Kansai Plant in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. This new chemical strengthening facility can handle up to sixth-generation (1850mm x 1500mm) glass, enabling the efficient production of thinner next-generation touchscreens. Operation is scheduled to begin in March 2013.
(Photo: http://prw.kyodonews.jp/prwfile/release/M000303/201302200019/_prw_OI1fl_f4289Ag5.jpg)
Conventionally, touchscreens of smart phones and tablet PCs have been triple-layered, consisting of a sheet of cover glass, a touch sensor and a display. Recently, however, demand for double-layered touchscreens, which can make the touchscreen even thinner, is expected to grow, and a technology (*1) to attach the touch sensor into the cover glass is drawing attention as a means to manufacture double-layered touchscreens.
A key to efficient production of double-layered touchscreens is large-size chemically strengthened glass. A large number of cover glass with a built-in touch sensor can be manufactured at a time by neatly arranging touch sensors on a large sheet of chemically strengthened glass and cutting the glass into pieces of the intended size. As the touchscreens manufactured based on this method are increasingly adopted for use in smart phones and tablet PCs in 2013 onward, AGC's high-quality G6-size chemically strengthened Dragontrail manufactured at the new facility will contribute to the creation of even thinner smart phones, tablet PCs, Ultrabook (*2) and other touchscreen devices.
Dragontrail, a damage and scratch-resistant specialty glass, has been adopted by over 20 companies for use as cover glass and used in some 60 smart phones and tablet PC models. AGC will continue to create new value for its customers by making effective use of the outstanding performance of Dragontrail.
(*1) The cover glass integration technology is referred to as One Glass Solution (OGS).
(*2) Ultrabook is a trademark or registered trademark of Intel Corporation in the United States and other countries.

It is proving to be an explosive year for social impact bonds. An estimated $300 to $500 million of these pay-for-success contracts are currently in development and expected to materialize over the next 24 months. Just in the last month, the state of New York and Massachusetts both announced new contracts to decrease recidivism and improve employment outcomes. Elsewhere, California is on the brink of implementing its own projects after a commitment of $2.5 million to create them.
A social impact bond or pay-for-success contract typically takes shape when private capital is raised to fund preventative programs on social problems. If, and only if, programs effectively achieve the desired result, private investors will receive repayments on their investment from government savings that stem from money not spent on remediation.
Besides the US, the majority of the action is happening in the UK, where the idea of a social impact bond contract was first conceptualized to likewise cut reoffending. Now, according to BD Live, the National Treasury of South Africa and the Flanders Development Agency have commissioned a feasibility study on social impact bonds to develop these contracts in South Africa.
The Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Cape Town, Genesis Analytics, and Social Finance will be conducting the study.
Healthcare, education, and gender equality are some of the areas in emerging countries where organizations and governments are applying pay-for-success contracts, whereas in the US and UK, recidivism is currently the popular problem to tackle with pay-for-success contracts.
Aunnie Patton, Investing for Impact Fellow at the Bertha Centre, said there is potential to use the social impact bond model in the healthcare sector. In fact, Africa's first social impact bond is expected to launch later this year and will tackle malaria in Mozambique.

Project Profile
Project: Restoration of Medieval roof
Location: Stirling Castle, Scotland
Client: Historic Scotland
Awards: RIBA and Wood Awards
Stirling Castle
Every truss in the hammer beam roof of Stirling Castle had to be made to slightly different dimensions and pitch because of the bow in the west wall.
Engaged by Historic Scotland, this is one of our largest historic oak frame restoration projects to date. Stirling Castle's Great Hall is the largest ever built in Scotland and was intended for great celebrations and occasions of state. When the military left the premises in 1964, the work began to restore it as the designers originally intended in 1500. We provided a new rood screen, doors and external staircase, however the rebuilding of the vast mediaeval roof is what really stands out. The setting out of the roof was inevitably complicated as the west wall of the Hall was so severely out of alignment. The west side of every truss, therefore, had to be set out individually to match the curve in the wall-head; the angle of every joint was also slightly altered as the pitch changed to meet the wall head.

Nashville Warbler doing what warblers do best (It ain't warblin'!).
Yellow-breasted Chat, the bird that perhaps has defied taxonomic understanding as well as any breeding North American species. It has been put with warblers for some time, but it is not one. I wondered why it was put with them when I was 5 years old. We cover it here, since it has been grouped with them for so long and likely is so in your books. As of summer 2017 the AOS (formerly AOU - American Ornithological Union) has given it its own family, allegedly nearest blackbirds. A fairly common breeder locally, heard more easily than seen, and often sings (or makes loud chattering noises and whistles) at night, for which more often than not the Mockingbird takes the heat.
Nashville Warbler is the most common migrant warbler in Utopia or San Antonio for that matter. The nashville is the unit of measurement for warbler migration here. "today warbler movement measured 14 nashvilles, etc." This is an immature with pale throat, adults have yellow throats.
Yellow-throated Warbler
First summer male Black-and-white Warbler, a bark specialist that works the trunks and large branches of trees.
Yellow Warbler is another common migrant warbler in Utopia.
The streaks on the underparts
of breeding plumaged males are bright red.
Wilson's Warbler. Note color break in eyebrow (supercillium) with contrast between the anterior portion of supercillium and forehead, and rear (yellow) part of eyebrow. You can see the color break, it was orange fore and yellow aft, most here are yellow throughout eyebrow and forehead.
Common Yellowthroat - usually down low near water.
Orange-crowned Warbler - Some are named for the hardest part to see. Almost all will show the white at the bend of the wing (marginal coverts) as this bird.
Orange-crowned Warbler will use hummer feeders in winter. Note face pattern of dark trans-ocular line with broken eye-ring and pale line over eye, plus diffuse dusky streaks on breast. The reddish tones on right half of underparts are an artifact of feeder reflection.
Not an Orange-crowned Warbler, but an immature Painted Bunting. Which is what I think all the August Orange-crowned Warbler reports really are. Critically study the bill shape and structure. Note compared to the Orange-crowned Warblers above the plumage is very very similar, green above, dull greenish-yellow below.
Pine Warbler, adult right, immature left, is regular in low numbers in winter.
"Myrtle" form of Yellow-rumped Warbler
Prothonotary Warbler
Rufous-capped Warbler
Rufous-capped Warbler
Tropical Parula, a rarity locally
Golden-cheeked Warbler
Golden-cheeked Warbler
Townsend's Warbler at our bird bath Sept. 25, 2013
Kentucky Warbler, male at Utopia Park Aug 9-18, 2009.
Accidental in fall in west half of Texas.
Golden-cheeked Warbler male feeding fledgling (taken through telescope from safe distance)
Ruby-crowned Kinglet, not a warbler, but often with them in winter.
Louisiana Waterthrush, juvenile
Louisiana Waterthrush, adult, note grayish tone on back, contrasting with pure brown head and wings, Northern never shows this appearance.
Louisiana Waterthrush, adult

Apparently the first ever documented over-wintering Louisiana Waterthrush on the Edwards Plateau, present at Utopia Park from early December (at least) 2014 to early March, 2015. This image acquired Jan. 25, 2015.
