We gave Dawud great favor from Us: "O mountains and birds! Echo with him in his praise!" And We made iron malleable for him: (Surah Saba', 10)
A radio telescope on Peach Mountain,
in Dexter, Michigan
In addition, "repeaters" are employed to permit radio communications over every great distances. These devices repeat and strengthen weak signals and enable them to be transmitted over considerable distances. Such devices are generally sited on tall buildings or on the tops of mountains for preference, in order to have the greatest effect. The use of the word "awwibi," translated as "echo" in the above verse, is exceedingly wise. The statement of, "O mountains and birds! Echo with him in his praise!'" in verse 10 of Surah Saba' may thus be a description of that technology. Allah knows the truth.
Each of the antennae in the picture
weighs 212 tons, is as high as a
10-storey building and measures
25 meters across.i
The radio system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter takes the message to be sent, encodes it in what is known as a "sinus wave" and transmits it in the form of waves. The receiver takes in the radio waves and deciphers the message sent on the sinus wave. In this way, the message is received in exactly the same form as it was sent. The word "awwibi," translated as "echo" in the above verse and meaning "sound being repeated or returned", may very well be a reference to the transmission of these radio waves. (Allah knows the truth.)Sounds emitted in the form of sound waves by way of an antenna in order that the receiver can take in the data sent are also met by an antenna linked to the receiver. The purpose behind using antennae is the transmission into space of the waves emitted by the radio transmitter. The receiving antenna is intended to collect as many radio waves and messages as possible. That is why NASA uses giant antennae bowls 70 meters across for its satellites millions of kilometers away in space.

Turkey Musings
It's been a couple weeks now since many of us carved up a Thanksgiving turkey. Was it cooked right, juicy and tasty? Or was it a little lacking?
About 7 years ago, my wife Dara and I started getting a locally raised heritage turkey for Thanksgiving dinner every year. After a number of years of eating vegetarian, and an unfamiliarity with cooking any kind of meat, we found ourselves bewildered as to where the gizzard and such were until we realized we were looking in the …Read More »

Now, tell us about why you decided to create a blog.Hmmm.... I thought he was going to say that those nasty lefty comments show a lack of character, brainpower, and substance, but he ended up saying the righties should go on the attack. Yeah, more nastiness, that's what we need.
I think conservatives have to compete in every media that's out there. There are some good conservative blogs, yours included, that are very good and helpful. But, there are not enough of them. We are sorely outnumbered by the left in the blogosphere and I think we've got to compete and I'm trying to be a role model for leadership around the country. They ought to be involved. They ought to have a blog so they can be more personable in communicating our philosophy to the American people. This medium allows us to bypass the liberal media and make a more direct appeal and we ought to be using it. We ought to be involved in movies, we ought to be involved in documentaries, we shouldn't just (let the left have those mediums to themselves). Any time the New York Times writes something outrageous, all of us ought to jump on it and chastise them for it. The left does that to us and if you look at the comments made on my blog in less than 24 hours, they're going to try to shut me down by attacking me. When was the last time the Republicans or conservatives attacked the left for their outrageous comments or outrageous activities? We don't attack. It's time to start attacking and be aggressive about what you believe and fighting for your beliefs.
Well, personally, I'm already "one of the more loathsome participants in the blogosphere." So I'm going to assume I'm already doing my part. But... I can step it up if necessary!

... but once this was in place, the only spot I could hold it by was RIGHT ON the on/change pattern button. So I kept accidentally changing the pattern. Or else turning it off.
I mean, where are you SUPPOSED to grip it?
The Ocean Waterproof Mini Vibe sounded so promising! I read reviews and compared the item description with items I'm already familiar with. Even if it were slightly lower powered than advertised, it seemed like a solidly good investment. I don't use that word lightly--toys can be so expensive! My budget doesn't have room for $60+ sex toys, most months. Last month, I squeezed it in so I could replace Old Faithful, who's on his last legs, these days.
Unfortunately, this vibe doesn't perform, and this is definitely a huge, over-$60 regret. I'm moderately sensitive, but the vibration put out by the Ocean Mini is so faint, I honestly couldn't tell if I'd turned it on properly. Whereas, it's understandable that satisfaction guarantees for sex toys are unsafe, this experience definitely has me rethinking the wisdom of buying sex toys online. This is a huge disappointment, for my financial, and my literal, bottom line. Here's hoping Old Faithful can rally and hobble me through the next many months... sigh....
If you have any sexual experience at all, this vibe isn't the one for you. It wouldn't have done anything for me in the early years, either, so my strong suggestion is to move along & try something else. Better yet, if you live near a GV store, remove the threat of regret: Get thee to a brick-and-mortar! Gauge a toy, in-person, before forking out your hard-earned $$!
Great & quiet but only had it less than 2 months & it stopped working. I would think for its cost it would last far longer. I would've given it 5 stars otherwise.
Responded By Good Vibes Customer Service - February 17, 2016
Good Vibrations Responds
We're sorry to hear your vibe has stopped working! All Fun Factory toys come with a 2 year warranty, which Good Vibrations honors, so please feel free to contact us at email@example.com. We'll be happy to get a replacement started for you.
Definately super quiet, feels great and strong vibrations. Just don't set it down on anything that lints - or you'll have to clean it again :)

21st Century Learning | News
The Massachusetts Instute of Technology, a school renowned for its intrepid experimental nature — MIT Media Lab, D-Lab, MITx and OpenCourseware, to name a few experiments — wants to accelerate education innovation and "reimagine" its own future. That will probably mean setting up an initiative focused on educational innovation that analyzes new forms of learning and encourages "bold" pedagogical experiments, extending MIT's educational impact to teachers and students inside and outside its campus and developing new revenue streams as well as new spaces to support learning at MIT.
These were a few of the broad stroke ideas that came out of a final report released by an institute-wide task force that examined the future of MIT education. The 213-page document offers 16 recommendations "for how MIT can continue to transform education for future generations of learners." (The recommendations — the heart of the report — fill 30 pages; the appendices take the remaining 183 pages.) The task force consisted of faculty, students and staff and also sought input from alumni and the broader MIT community.
The first recommendation is that the institute set up an "Initiative for Educational Innovation" to act as a hub or sandbox for the experiments proposed in the rest of the report. Among the areas for experimentation:
That work could include collaborations with other institutions that have ties to MIT, such as the Singapore University of Technology and Design.
MIT also wants to convert its massive open online course efforts into an "MITx inside" campaign. MITx is the institute's contributions to MOOC provider edX. The task force has proposed that MIT seek partnerships with other colleges and universities to encourage the use of MITx content as a foundation for their blended learning courses. San Jose State University tried this when it used MIT's content from edX to teach an "Introduction to Circuit Analysis" class. In that experiment, according to MIT, the pass rate increased from 55 percent for the students in the traditional classes to 91 percent of students in the blended class.
The task force also recommended that each department look at the development of new edX content in the context of certificate programs. MITx has three "XSeries" certificates, each of which consists of several courses. A Foundations of Computer Science program, for example, has seven modules — each about half the length of a regular MIT course — that earns the student a certificate. Now departments are being advised "to think in terms of XSeries instead of individual courses" for edX and take a modular approach instead of a class approach.
In the long term, the report stated, the "Task Force envisions opportunities for XSeries to develop into something akin to an MITx minor, major or even an MITx or edX degree in recognition of more comprehensive learning."
In the area of revenue, the report suggests seeking out new opportunities for building income. As one example, the task force encouraged MIT's Technology Licensing Office to expand its mission to include "generating revenue for the institute." That would probably encompass investigating new revenue opportunities in technology licensing and venture funding.
The task force also has proposed that the institute establish a working group to explore new student learning areas, such as maker spaces around campus and other common spaces for informal gatherings and meetings.
"While the release of this report represents an important milestone, our work has just begun," wrote President L. Rafael Reif in a letter to the MIT community. "The next challenge: to identify which of the report's recommendations to implement, how and in what order." Over the next two months the task force will solicit community feedback, he added.

If I hear one more article about the promise of high-speed rail in New York I think I'm going to gag.
Does anyone remember the promise of the Buffalo subway system? That service to nowhere cost the government somewhere around $500M back in the early '80s. Ridership never came close to justifying the cost. You think high-speed rail across the upstate region is going to suddenly make Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica and Albany chic destination spots? Amtrak with all its millions in government help couldn't do it, not while it shares the same rails with slow-moving freight trains and dilapidated stations.
And until you solve the problem of obtaining easy last-mile travel once you step off the train, city-to-city high-speed rail will remain unattractive. So far, that last-mile discussion hasn't even begun.
While construction of a rail line may have some short-term (very short-term) benefits to a few laborers scattered across upstate New York, rail's life cycle costs are enormous. We have spent the past 30 years proving that such rail service can't exist without subsidies; why would we want to subject ourselves and our children to that kind of future penalty?
Let's get real.

A Few 2011 Predictions

Net Neutrality:
Ends up in the courts and the FCC's recent action on Net Neutrality is overturned.
The new Congress threatens to withhold funds from the FCC if they try to put Net Neutrality back on the agenda.
2011 sees the introduction of over 50 new tablets, including 2 new iPads. There will be 35 shown at CES alone. But, by the end of the year, the field of competitors is cut in half because of lackluster sales of many of these tablets.
New tablets start the process of technology creep. Several start offering hard drives, cutting the battery life, and more features are added by others to try and out do their competitors. The definition of a tablet gets blurred.
The end of year winners are: Apple, RIM (Playbook), Samsung, and Motorola.
The Windows-based tablets are not well received and flounder early on.

If you mistook the clattering of keyboards for cicadas in heat and saw your Twitter feed explode with the hashtag #prndigital, yesterday, then you were probably with me at the PR News Digital PR Next Practices Summit at the Grand Hyatt in New York City. The all-day event was a smorgasbord of useful topics and speakers flinging words such as SEO (search engine optimization), influencers, engagement, and fangate pages.
However, if you have ever spoken to your boss about using social media it probably went like this:
If your digital campaign does not translate to the C-Suite language (increased sales, decreased costs, or high ROI) then it wouldn't matter if you grow their Twitter page to 100,000 followers. They will pull the plug.
Here are eight steps I took from the panel on Prove the Value of Your Digital Efforts to the C-Suite featuring Margot Sinclair Savell, vice president of Measurement and Analytics at Weber Shandwick, Angela Jeffery, APR and member of IPR Commission and Nick Panayi, director of Global Brand and Digital Marketing at CSC.
1. Define organizational goals. Make sure your goals are strictly C-suite speak. (e.g., Our goal is to increase sales by 30 percent.) That way they see that you are on the same level.
2. Research stakeholders and prioritize. This should be done regardless if you are presenting a digital campaign or not; you should always know your audience.
3. Ask yourself: What do they care about? I want to add in a perfect line from Margot Sinclair Savell, "Don't just measure communications; measure the impact on your bottom line."
4. Set social media objectives that correlate with their goals. Now this is where you link your social media efforts to their C-suite objectives. (e.g., With the Twitter campaign, we are launching, our goal is to increase our followers by 50 percent and positive sentiment by 40 percent which in turn will increase our sales by 30 percent.)
5. Choose (the right) tools and establish benchmarks. Once your campaign has launched, use tools and benchmarks to monitor how your campaign is playing out in The Media. Remember to monitor both the social media goal and the main goal (C-suite objective).
6. Analyze, Analyze, Analyze! Be sure to use both qualitative and quantitative metrics and have these also tie back to your communications and C-suite objectives.
7. Present to management. Remember to add charts of correlation between the campaign and the C-suite objectives. Translate metrics into the language.
8. Continue to build on that foundation: monitor, analyze, and improve. Review and revamp your strategy and tactics, making sure to revise as departmental and C-suite objectives evolve.
So, how are you proving your value of your digital efforts to the C-suite? Please share your thoughts with me, here, on BurrellesLuce Fresh Ideas.
Before joining the BurrellesLuce team in 2011, as social media specialist, Ruth worked as a marketing assistant in a kitchen design firm and, later interned with Turner Public Relations. She holds a BA in Economics with a minor degree in International Relations from Rowan University. In addition to economics, education, and finance – Ruth is passionate about understanding the business implications of social media, including how it can be used to increase ROI, find and maintain a career, and create a business.

I subdivide a cubic Bézier curve at a given t value using de Casteljau's algorithm, which yields two cubic Bézier curves. Afterwards I "scale" the second curve (proportionally).
I'd like to reconnect or approximate the two curves to/with a single curve in a third step. Is that possible?
This illustrates what I'm intending to do.
I guess reversing de Casteljau's algorithm won't work because I don't have one of the intermediate points.
If there are multiple approaches, I'd favor a simpler (faster to compute) strategy.
Thanks in advance.
Update: Maybe this figure makes it more clear; it shows all the points I have:
The original cubic Bézier curve is defined by the points $ p_{0}, p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3} $.
It is divided at a given $ t $ (timing) value using de Casteljau's algorithm, which yields the points $ q_{1}, r_{2}, i_{1}, q_{2}, r_{1}, k $ where $ k $ is the division point.
The two subcurves are defined by the control points $ p_{0}, q_{1}, q_{2}, k $ and $ k, r_{1}, r_{2}, p_{3} $, respectively.
The scaled second subcurve is defined by the points $ k, {r}' _{1}, {r}' _{2}, {r}' _{3} $
Scaling is applied as follows: $ {p}' = k + (p - k) \cdot factor $ for $ r_{1}, r_{2}, p_{3} $

Four Ways to Manage the Risks of Social MediaBy Kirstin Simonson | Posted 2009-12-08 Print
While it is probably unrealistic to completely ban social media use in the workplace, companies can take effective steps to manage the risk.
The explosion of social media is taking many businesses by surprise. Some are edging cautiously into viral marketing, finding clever ways to leverage YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and other sharing Websites to their advantage. Others are turning a blind eye to uses that may put their companies at substantial risk. High on the list of concerns should be the potential for employee postings and blogs that could:
• Expose the company to legal liability, including claims of defamation, harassment and privacy violations
• Leak proprietary information or trade secrets that may decrease a firm's ability to be successful in a competitive market
• Damage the reputation of the company through false, disparaging or reckless communications.
While it is probably unrealistic to completely ban social media use in the workplace—and, in fact, such a ban may keep enterprises from benefiting from the upside potential of these pervasive, instantaneous communication tools—companies can take effective steps to manage the risk.
While "friending" dozens of people on a personal Website and keeping up with the latest online videos used to be a preoccupation for teens, today nearly half of the adult population actively uses social media, according to a Travelers Global Technology national survey.
Although the survey indicated that most social media use takes place outside of work, nearly one in every five people access such sites while on the job. In addition, about one in eight people who responded to the survey said they post work-related information on social media Websites. And roughly two-thirds of the respondents said their company does not have a policy regarding social media usage—or that they are not aware of one if it does exist.
Several lawsuits demonstrate why workplace usage of social media and the lack of company policies are issues. In one case, an employee posted a negative opinion about a prior employer on a Website during a lunch break, using a company-owned computer. Even though the posting was not within the scope of the employee's duties and violated the company's policy about personal use of company resources, the employer was still forced to defend itself against allegations of defamation.
In another case, a health care facility was sued after an employee recognized someone who was receiving treatment, checked the patient's chart and then posted something online about that person's diagnosis, treatment and marital infidelity. Other actions include libel suits over blogs, school suspensions over fake MySpace pages and subpoenas to force identification of anonymous posters.

2006 Upper Deck First Pitch Baseball
This next offering from my repack box is one of the slimmest I'll be opening. 2006 Upper Deck First Pitch offers five cards per pack, one of which is guaranteed to be an insert. I assume this product is comprable to Topps Opening Day, aimed at more of a kid market. Does the strategy of small-count packs work? Upper Deck seems to think so. After all, if there's one thing kids want, it's less of what they like. From personal experience, time after time I have seen kids complain that they got too much ice cream, too many Christmas presents, and they were allowed to play in a pit filled with plastic balls for far too long. This is why I generally don't collect Upper Deck.
Let's tear in:
Top to Bottom:
29 Trot Nixon
133 Mike Mussina
HS-15 Nomar Garciaparra Hot Stove Headlines (What a ridiculous card. If anything, they should have made a fake old-timey headline card referring to the fact that Nomar gets to have sex with Mia Hamm on a regular basis. That's something worthy of an "EXTRA! EXTRA!" boast.)
142 Rich Harden
77 Juan Pierre
Grade: D for Dull. There's virtually nothing here that would make me buy another pack. This set is not even bad, it's just...pointless. I am reminded of Rod and Todd Flanders from "The Simpsons" playing one of their Christian-themed board games with Bart. When Bart asks, "Why aren't there any dice?" one of the brothers responds, "We move one square at a time...that way it's less fun." Upper Deck First Pitch is just like Topps Opening Day, just less fun. I'll take a Stomper card any old day of the week over any card from this set.

Select a manufacturer:
Weight in Lbs (Kg)
Dimensions L x W x H (inches)
95 (43)
CRT Size/LC: Although
manufacturers measurements will vary, these measurements are the agreed
upon measurements by most enthusiasts. Actual raster
corner to corner measurements will vary based on the installation. LC is
noted for tubes that are liquid-coupled (as opposed to air-coupled).
LC'ed tubes offer greater contrast and less halo'ing.
Chassis Controls:
Analog chassis projectors use manual "pots" for convergence, image
sizing, shift, etc. With the newer digital convergence feature,
convergence is done from the control panel or infrared remote control.
This gives you the ability to stand at the screen and more accurately
set up the focus and alignment of the CRT's. Digital convergence units
also may have memories for different inputs and aspect ratios. These
can then be changed with the push of a button on the remote.
Peak Lumens: Lumens
relate to the amount of energy (light) that's coming from the CRT. It
describes the potential of the projector, but little of the actual
brightness you will get on screen. The brightness depends on many
factors. The most important being the screen size and material as well
as ambient light conditions.
Scan Rates and HDTV:
The ability of a projector to display HDTV depends on its scanning
capability. For example for a projector to line double standard NTSC
signals (480i at 15.75khz horizontal) from DVD, VCR or
cable/Satellite to 480p, requires 31.5 Khz of horizontal scan rate and
enough bandwidth to handle twice the picture information. HDTV at 1080i
requires a horizontal rate of 33.75 Khz and 50 Mhz bandwidth. 720p
requires a horizontal rate of 45 Khz with 50 Mhz bandwidth.
Max resolution: This is
the maximum resolution that the projector can accept (and sync to) as an
input signal. Important: While the projector
may be able accept the signal, it may not be able to fully resolve the
information on screen without overlapping of scan lines resulting in a
softening of the picture. That is, the manufacturer resolution specifications do not necessarily reflect real world resolving
Inputs: As listed above
V = standard composite video, usually a BNC connector on projectors
(takes a $2 Radio shack connector to convert back to RCA). S = S-video
in its usual form. R = RGB in either a DB type plug or 5 separate RGBHV
BNC type connectors. C = Component video. Any values in ( ) are
available with an optional input board.
Zone/Point Convergence:
A feature of a digital chassis where after doing a rough convergence you
can fine tune various areas of the image for a tighter alignment

Earlier today, as the threat of Hurricane Sandy canceled schools, closed businesses, and in some states shut down roads, but being hardy New Englanders, many Central Massachusetts residents pulled on their rain boots and water proof jackets and headed out.
Whether it was out to the movies, out to a caf� or out to a store, people were looking for that which would sustain them through Sandy. Perhaps they were seeking entertainment, a latte or that last available "D" battery.
It's too early to say if Sandy will lived up to all the hype, but she introduced herself to the region with wind-whipped drizzle this morning. She rocked cars and trucks as they drove on local highways, making driving more nerve-wracking than outright impossible, unless you were the man pedaling his bicycle uphill on Route 9 West near Price Chopper in Shrewsbury this morning.
With many businesses telling their workers to stay home, some places like Starbucks turned into a shelter for parents working from home who decided to set up their laptops while they treated their kids to a hot chocolate or bagel.
Shopping through Sandy might not be an option everywhere, as some stores in outdoor shopping centers were closed. The Solomon Pond Mall, the Auburn Mall and the Greendale Mall all closed early.
Northboro Crossing, located high up on a hill off of Routes 9 and 20, had a few stores that were open.
As the wind howled outside the nearly empty parking lot, the doors of Carter's Babies and Kids swung open and closed to invisible customers.
"Our doors keep opening and closing on their own because of the wind up here," said Meaghan Goulet of Auburn, the assistant manager of the Northboro children's store. "We've had a few customers this morning – they're coming in looking for rain coats and rain boots for their kids."
The store closed early, and Ms. Goulet said she was headed home to bunker down as the worst is still expected to hit.
At Nicky D's Donuts on Route 20 in Northboro, friends Pat Drumm of Lowell and Mike Robbins of Northboro were contemplating their day of running errands over coffee and donuts. Mr. Drumm, a student whose classes were canceled, and Mr. Robbins, who works at an after-school program in Lowell which was also canceled, were planning to gas up at the local station and go grocery shopping.
"It has yet to hit, but I think it is a lot of hoopla over nothing," Mr. Drumm said.
At the nearby Rocky's Ace Hardware, supplies were being sold off the delivery truck before the items even had a chance to hit the shelves.
"People were buying it was we were unloading it," said John Chapdelaine of Northboro, a sales associate at the store. "We're out of 'D' batteries, and we sold our last generator as it came off the truck."
A co-worker grumbled about schools being canceled prematurely – some districts canceled as early as yesterday – saying it was unnecessary because the worst of the storm was expected to arrive by mid-afternoon.
While the storm made for a windy and wet Monday, Mr. Chapdelaine said his customers weren't ready to say the so-called Frankenstorm fizzled.
"People are still nervous," Mr. Chapdelaine said.
Leominster, which postponed trick-or-treating until 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, the city opened a shelter at the Southeast School.
Mayor Dean J. Mazzarella asked all candidates to secure their campaign signs to prevent them from becoming roadside hazards. In addition, Leominster City Hall was fielding calls from people asking where they can get generators.
An emergency shelter will be set up at Atlantic Union College in Lancaster if needed, according to Fire Chief Richard J. Hart. He said the college has its own power supply.
Residents in both Clinton and Bolton can use the shelter.
The day was not without emergency incidents. In Bolton, a tree fell on a car on Route 117. No one was injured.
At LalaJava cafe in Northboro, the tomato soup was on for lunch, and customers were in early.
"We've been busy," Lala Boyers, owner of LalaJava said. "Customers with my personal cell phone keep calling to ask if we are open. We are always open. The only ways we are closed is if I can't physically operate my machinery."
Ms. Boyers is already planning for tomorrow and experience from storms past tell her she may be swamped in the morning.
Casey Ballou of Worcester was planning to catch a movie, but was waiting for a call to confirm whether he had to work this afternoon.
"I'll probably lay low, hunker down, put a blanket over my head and sing Kumbaya," Mr. Ballou said. "Hopefully we'll get a reprieve."

The rollout of one of the federal government's major education reforms - the national curriculum - will be delayed in Victoria due to the teachers dispute over pay and conditions.
State school teachers are banning the implementation of the national curriculum as part of their campaign for a 12 per cent pay rise over three years and a reduction in contract employment.
The Victorian government has threatened to seek an injunction in the Federal Court on Tuesday if the Australian Education Union does not call off its industrial action.
Federal School Education Minister Peter Garrett has called on the Baillieu government to urgently find a solution to the dispute.
He said the Victorian government had agreed to implement the Australian curriculum in maths, English, history and science from prep to year 10 this year.
''We want to see all states get on with the job of implementation,'' Mr Garrett said.
''These delays are preventing a smooth transition to the Australian curriculum, which is so important for all students. This is a dispute of the government's own making and a solution needs to be found urgently which is not detrimental to teachers, students or schools.''
But a spokesman for Education Minister Martin Dixon said that given Victoria had made a decision last year to break with the national curriculum model, it was unlikely the union's ''outdated work ban threats'' would affect Victorian schools.
Spokesman Ashley Gardiner said Victoria's own curriculum reforms released last year provided for greater curriculum autonomy and flexibility for schools than the national curriculum. ''If the AEU is planning to disrupt these reforms, that would represent a serious attack on the core education, including basic literacy and numeracy skills, of every student in Victoria,'' he said.
''Given that Victoria is no longer committed to implementing the national curriculum model, the Victorian government would expect the AEU to amend that portion of their work ban proposals as soon as possible to ensure the development of basic literacy and numeracy skills for Victorian students is not placed at risk.''
In December 2010 all states and territories agreed to ''substantially implement'' the first four subjects of the national curriculum by the end of 2013. But this agreement has since been broken: implementation of the national curriculum in New South Wales, for example, will now begin in 2014 for English, 2015 for mathematics and science, and 2016 for history.
The union ban on the introduction of the national curriculum in Victorian state schools, introduced last year, is one of several, including bans on working outside the 38-hour week, the use of the ultranet, comments in report cards, emailing the education department, and Coalition MPs visiting schools.
AEU state president Meredith Peace said the purpose of the national curriculum ban was to highlight the amount of unpaid overtime teachers spent on familiarising themselves with new content and developing curriculum resources.
''The Victorian government, in our view, along with the federal government, hasn't given adequate time for teachers to plan introducing the new curriculum,'' she said.
''It requires a fairly substantial amount of work.''

The false reality is exposed here. Turn off your cognitive dissonace before reading. If you believe ANYTHING, prepare to be insulted. FEAR NOTHING. Love really is the answer.
Saturday, September 24, 2011
Know YOUR Enemy.....
Oh, if only for a day.
Think how they think.
See what they see.
Imagine, for a moment, what they really want.
Like you, they want security and certainty.
Like you when you dream maybe, they want an assurance of a longevity surrounded by all they desire.
They also want a power over people that's unassailable. They want the worship of "lesser" beings.
They want to be gods, striding the earth in perpetuity.
They want to satisfy every whim no matter how crass or perverted or evil, without fear of retribution.
They are nearly there now.
In most of their lives, for most of the time, they can do these things.
The "Royal" families.
The money "Kings".
The robber barons.
The aristocracy of the New World Order.
The crass wankers and perverts that hang on their coat tails for the scraps from their tables.
The Blairs. The Bushes. The psychopaths you see heading corporations. The reat of them.
We know who they are.......
They own what they like.
They fuck what they like.
They eat what they like.
They kill what they like.
They do whatever takes their fancy.
And lower down their order, they dip thier souls in shit for a pension, soon to be taken from them because their god is an ungrateful bastard and they are just sheep, no matter how temporarily useful they are.
But some things our masters have to hide.
Some things they have to keep a secret.
The eating of babies and the fucking of children.
The torture of souls and of bodies.
And why, they ask, should they?
These days they have to persuade us of some things, have to gain our agreement lest we reach for the sickles and pistols and guillotines and come seeking their heads.
That's such a bore.
In the old days they could do all these things and more.
Witness the lives of the people we learn about via their history books. The Kings and Pharaohs and Emperors and so on. The murder, the brutalisation, the torture. Look at Vlad the Impaler, at Henry the Eighth, at Queen Victoria, at Hitler, at Stalin, at the Bushes. Thousands more.
(As an aside, research "A Charge To Keep". Coincidence?)
They so love to seep themselves in blood and misery, for such is the beauty, to them, of absolute power.
And so they dream and plot and machinate and manipulate us towards their final solution.
Just as the Egyptian Pharaohs elevated themselves to godlike status, just as the Roman emperors raised themselves high enough to sate every lust without fear of opposition. In their circuses they slaughtered thousand for fun, drinking the blood of the slain, allowing the chosen to sit amongst them and share in the gore. At home, every whim was satisfied, no matter how perverse.
And the people bowed to them, venerated them, rarely stood against them.
You think it's different now?
And it's the "rarely" that troubles them.
For "rarely" is too often.
Never is better.
They need to create a world where no-one EVER stands against them.
So that they, living long and healthy lives, they can pass their ill-gotten gains on to their kids, who will also lead long and healthy lives, full of the foulness that their god lucifer insists is their right.
So what is their "final solution"?
Firstly, when the shit hits the fan quite soon, they must be in such a position that the world sees them as saviours rather than as parasites.
Second, the new belief system must elevate them to godlike positions, as Masters of Wisdom who have been working relentlessly to bring "good" to the world.
Even though they seem to have been doing the opposite.
(Watch "The Event" predictive programming.)
But who are we to understand the ineffable ways of "God"?
Don't we understand that to fight evil, we must first Know Evil?
And such has been their role.
Praise them, praise them.
In such a way will the New World Order be gifted to us, once we have rid the world of those disbelievers that threaten the new heaven on earth.
Me, for example.
Such, with the right "spin" will they be able to weave their web of deceit.
Third, their offspring, the next generation, will already have established themselves as in possession of the "Christ Consciousness". David de Rothschild etc. Prince William.
Collectively, and doing what will appear to be "the " "god's" work, they will draft us all into the cults they have experimented with for so long.
We will be expected to become "believers".
We will be expected to destroy those who fight against this new religion.
Signs from heaven and miracles will convince the sheeple.
Of course.
This is all planned.
The final solution demands the implementation of a vast new belief system that will last for a thousand years. Already believers and supporters are in place. Already a new system, a new dogma, a new structure of control has been forged.
The plan involves the destruction of the entire false reality they have imposed upon us so far, to be replaced with a new false reality, an amazingly intricate, centuries in the making plan they intend to foist upon humanity.
The goal being as described above.
Put yourself in their place.
Oh, if only for a day.
And think...............
You can see the destruction growing daily........
In a thousand ways, we are being readied for the expectation of salvation.......
As things get worse, so we will begin to brutalise each other as we already are.......
Yet the internet offers us "hope", offers us "truth":, offers us a "new way"......
Their way.
A way of "love"
A way of "sharing".........
All with the controlling hands evident to those that have the eyes to see and the instinct to understand.
Such is their strategy.
The goal: perpetual GODLIKE STATUS for the bastards that rule us.
Their enemy: the FREE WILL of humanity.
They think it's all over already.
Bring to mind Bush Senior and his "New World Order" speech ("When we are successful, and WE WILL BE …...")
It's not all over.
Because YOU know.
Because YOU are free.
And, if you value the future,......
You will make your stand, draw your line, say "Enough".
And be ready.......
Free of mind, in love and peace, brave and determined, willing to sacrifice, dutiful to the future of your children and our planet....
Be ready for rEvolution.
(And consider: What have they promised those that serve their purpose?)
Love to you all,
Olive Farmer xxx xxx xxx

Dear Olive Farmer
Firstly I wanted to thank you for the information you freely and abundantly make available on your blog. It's refreshing and brilliantly written stuff. While I've been aware of the general gist of the events that are being orchestrqted behind the scenes by the PTB from my own research your insights add another level of depth and understanding to what is going on and what will go on. So thank you. However I do have a dilemma that keeps nagging at me. Actually, perhaps more of a dichotmomy than a dilemna. I have no doubt the evil events you describe will prove to be very accurate (I have a feeling about these things) and we are all in for some challenging and possibly horrific times ahead as the NWO roll out their 'final solution'. I can't imagine this will be a pleasant nor fun time for the non-scum amongst us. On the other hand you also talk about a rebirth of humanity we have in store. This is the dichotomy that I can't reconcile. Are you suggesting that their plan will never play out because something or someone will intervene at the 11th hour and save us from these scumbags or that our free will will be the thing that stops them in their tracks or will they roll out their evil plan as per the script with the majority of us perishing (as per the script) and ascending into some new consciousness, perhaps a consciousness of pure love?. Will free will be enough to stop the brutality and murder? How do you see events playing out and what will the world look like at the end of it all? (and I wish this bloody ringing in my ears that started a few months ago would stop, or is that another piece in the puzzle?!! )
- September 29, 2011 at 5:59 PM
Giancarlo, I also have a problem with ringing ears. I have noticed that the ringing decreases if I spend time outside and away from the computer and conspiricy sites such as this one (not critisising Olive). My theory is that it is caused by 'information overload' which causes an overactive mind. Personally I think the root cause of an overactive mind is probably a lack of faith in God, causing one to try to understand every-thing, something that the human mind was not designed for. Do a quick google and you will see it is a spiritual problem.
- October 2, 2011 at 4:23 PM
Those who have nothing to lose will fare the best. Nothing to lose is a state of mind as much as a spiritual, material reality.

New Mexico Tech Listed as "Best Value" in The Princeton Review
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., April 24, 2007 – New Mexico Tech is one of the nation's "best value" undergraduate institutions, according to The Princeton Review. The New York-based education services company features the state-supported research university in the new 2008 edition of its college guidebook, America's Best Value Colleges.
The latest edition of the annual guide, which went on sale today, profiles 165 choice colleges from throughout the United States with outstanding academics, generous financial aid packages, and relatively low costs. The Princeton Review also has posted a complete list of the selected schools in the book on its website at www.princetonreview.com.
New Mexico Tech also was included in the category of "Best Western Colleges" in the current edition of America's Best Value Colleges.
The Princeton Review compiled the ranking list and chose the colleges for the guidebook based on data the company obtained from administrators at more than 650 colleges during the 2005-2006 academic year, as well as from surveys of students attending them.
Says Robert Franek, V.P.-Publishing, The Princeton Review, "We looked at more than 30 factors in four areas — academics, tuition, financial aid and student borrowing — to winnow our list of best value picks. Families shopping for colleges with excellent academics, generous financial aid packages and/or relatively low costs of attendance will find outstanding choices in this book."
America's Best Value Colleges has three-page profiles on the included colleges, lists of the top 10 best value private colleges and the top 10 best public colleges, and advice about applying for admission and financial aid. It is one of more than 200 Princeton Review books published by Random House over the past 25 years in a line that includes the annual Best 361 Colleges and Paying for College without Going Broke.
Known for its test-prep courses, books, and college and grad school admissions services, The Princeton Review is an education services company, and is not affiliated with Princeton University or ETS.

A letter in the May 13 Tomahawk Leader:
Letter to the Editor:
I have had the pleasure of helping to develop a plan to rehabilitate the old Sacred Heart Hospital, now Northwoods Village, both as a consultant and volunteer for the past several years. The city is fortunate to have owners of this quality complex that are very motivated to make it into a unique facility that will offer significant economic development and job opportunities in the area for many years to come. Their efforts will be assisted greatly by the recent measure by the Common Council to consider offering Tax Incremental Financing. This will be an important step in assuring that the project gets off the ground and will help a great deal to assure its success.
There are many people throughout the community that deserve a big pat on the back for their work in creating this opportunity for the city. Despite a prevailing thought to tear down such a valued asset, a multitude of people, both individually and through groups like the Citizens for the Betterment of the Community, spent countless hours over many years to creatively look for ways to find occupants for the facility. Numerous others in the community have helped in many ways to pave the way to maximize the use and value of the buildings to the community.
All of this planning and hard work has led to current owners who are interested in the development of a quality assisted living and unique educational facility and the positive spin-offs to the community that will occur as a result. The city also has the incredible opportunity presented to it with the potential of the Main Street Program, another project that many worked hard, and selflessly, to create. These are unique opportunities that must be embraced and acted upon while they are in our grasp.
We should hope to continue in this positive vein to lend support to projects such as Northwoods Village and Main Street to make them a reality. It was a difficult road, and a lot of work, to get each of these to this point. Opportunities like this are both rare and badly needed to continue to ensure the economic viability of the downtown and the area. Positive public support openly, and in private conversation, can go far to help assure the success of such initiatives and will serve to continue building positive momentum for more things to come for the community and the area.

The HP TouchSmart 600 shows how getting an early jump on unproven technology can pay off. HP was first to market with a touch-based all-in-one PC more than two years ago. Now that Windows 7 has spurred almost every major desktop vendor toward multitouch, HP has the advantage of years of real market feedback to help refine the TouchSmart 600. The result, while still not perfect, is the best implementation of touch input we've seen so far in an all-in-one. Also to HP's credit (and likely Sony's chagrin), even if the TouchSmart 600 had no touch capability, by incorporating all of the features we've loved in Sony's Vaio LV line, HP has matched Sony in crafting a robust standalone home entertainment device. This $1,599, 23.5-inch all-in-one won't be for everyone, but those willing to find room for the TouchSmart A600, cooks especially, will be rewarded with an innovative, feature-rich all-in-one.
On the outside the TouchSmart 600 doesn't look that different from HP's previous all-in-one, the TouchSmart IQ816. It has the same glossy black plastic exterior, with graceful curves down its side. It's not quite as design-forward as the iMac, but it's as visually appealing, if not more so, than new all-in-ones from Gateway and Sony.
What HP's design lacked in its earlier version was an easy means to mount it on the wall. Sony made a big push last year to position its LV series all-in-ones as living room-ready devices, which had both the hardware and the design elements to match. Clearly taking a page from Sony's guidebook, HP has made the TouchSmart fully VESA-mount compliant. Simply unscrew a panel on the back and then unscrew the stand to reveal the wall-mount inputs.
HP has also borrowed from Sony's shrewd connectivity features, and taken them one step further. HP has added not only an HDMI input with a dedicated button for switching input signals, but also a set of composite video and audio ports as well. That means you can connect multiple external video sources to the TouchSmart, such as game consoles, a cable box, or HD cameras, and switch between them and your Windows desktop seamlessly. Sadly, but not surprisingly given the regulatory implications, you can't get Windows to talk to those devices, which means your DVR options are restricted to the built-in hybrid TV tuner. Sony's all-in-one has the same limitation.
Along with the inputs for external video sources, the TouchSmart A600 comes with a slot-loading Blu-ray drive, as well as touch-driven Hulu and Netflix interfaces into its new touch software carousel (more on that in a minute). All of these features would be meaningless without decent screen and audio quality to back them up, and for the most part the TouchSmart 600 delivers. The audio ouput is easily the strongest we've seen from an all-in-one this year, mostly because it's loud enough to fill a room. We noticed some pixel noise in the HD video from the 23.5-inch 1,920 x 1,080 display, but not enough to be distracting, especially if you're watching from a distance.
While HP has clearly borrowed from Sony in its wall-mounting and video input capabilities, the software designed for its touch interface is unique and just as compelling. We won't go over every feature in HP's custom-made application carousel, but you'll find the usual collection of painting, note taking, and other apps. But four new additions to HP's touch-screen arsenal set it apart, three from choosing partners wisely, and the fourth the product of its own development.
The three partner programs provide straightforward interfaces with Hulu, Netflix, and Twitter via the TouchSmart software carousel. We asked HP about a possible Facebook interface and received a vague nondenial. Even without Facebook, accessing streaming content from Hulu and Netflix are smart, obvious choices to add to the home entertainment-oriented TouchSmart 600. Of course you could simply get to those services via a standard browser window, but making them touch-friendly actually makes them easier to use, especially if you put the TouchSmart in a place in your home where you might walk up and use it.
Your kitchen may be the most obvious place for many of you to install a PC you might walk up to, at least provided you have the counter space. If you do bring it into your kitchen, you'll be able to take advantage of one of the TouchSmart 600's best features. Scroll along the TouchSmart's application carousel and you'll find the Recipe Box program, which gives you the best tool we've seen for organizing recipes you find from the Internet.
Recipe Box has a built-in browser window from which you can navigate to, and bookmark, any Web site. Once you find a recipe online, the Recipe Box software can scrape it, and then format it properly onto a touch-friendly form, neatly isolating ingredients and instructions. You can then use Recipe Box's built-in voice recognition and text-to-speech software to verbally command the TouchSmart to read the recipe back to you out loud, step-by-step.
We found the scraping capability worked with more sites than not, with a few notable exceptions. We were able to pull recipes down from Epicurious, Food Network, Martha Stewart, and About with no transcription errors and mostly perfect formatting. We had no luck at Food and Wine Magazine and Cook's Country, however. You can enter recipes manually, and also edit and add notes to recipes you pull down automatically, but the capability to grab and organize recipes from the Web in such a highly intuitive manner will surely appeal to Web-inclined chefs.
The voice-recognition and text-to-speech capabilities are more of a work in progress. Standing a foot, and then 5 feet away from the TouchSmart, we had luck on our first try speaking commands like "Beginning," "Back," and "Continue," to advance the text-to-speak function through each recipe. Voice-recognition training software can help you improve accuracy, but we found the TouchSmart had trouble recognizing our voice when we stood off at an angle. It also sometimes took a few tries before it responded to our commands, and it also wouldn't recognize voices other that of your reviewer. A Bluetooth headset (not included) can let you command Recipe Box from longer distances.
As promising as we find HP's new touch programs, Recipe Box in particular, we found the touch interface unresponsive at times, and the main touch software carousel can be slow to load. The lag time is similar to what we found with Gateway's first Windows 7-based touch all-in-one, the One ZX6810-01. As long as you're patient with the touch response and willing to suffer a few repeated finger movements, the experience is for the most part fine, but it's clear that there's still room for the technology to improve.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the HP's power consumption. To a certain extent that goes in-hand with its slow performance, and especially next to the hyper-efficient, faster iMac, Windows all-in-ones have room to improve. But $22.37 on the year in power cost puts the TouchSmart 600 among efficient company. Next to some of HP's desktops, which have been terrible power hogs, the TouchSmart 600 is a marked improvement.
Finally, HP's service and support for its systems lines up with what we expect from a major PC vendor. You get a year of parts and labor coverage standard, along with 24-7 toll-free phone service. HP's Web site has all manner of support features as well, including support chat and the capability to fix your system remotely. You might also appreciate the numerous video tutorials included with the system to help you navigate the new touch software.

One of my last projects at AEI was writing and producing, with my frequent writing partner Ken Green (who nailed it on The News Hour last night), a series of short videos on basic energy literacy. One of the biggest problems for office holders, the media, and the public alike is that energy seems simple. Why not? you plug things in or throw a switch, and voila!–it works! But in fact energy is not so simple, nor is it one thing. (Quick: give me a one-sentence definition of "energy." If you say "oil, gas, and nuclear," you flunk the quiz.) The distinction between wire-conveyed electricity and portable liquid fuel energy is one basic distinction that gets lost in the shuffle, for example, which is why you hear politicians say "let's build more windmills to reduce our dependency on foreign oil." Most people, I joke, think "British Thermal Unit" is a new underwear line from Calvin Klein. The lack of basic energy literacy is one reason why dumb ideas like wind and solar, or "energy independence," are so persistent in our public discourse.
Anyway, here's the first video in the series, which we call "Energy 101," "Everything You Know About Energy Is Wrong":
I'll post the rest in due course. Unless you just can't wait, in which case you can go here for the whole series.

Many steps to Safer Drilling
I live at ground zero for urban drilling.
We have about 60 pad sites in our 99 sq mile town here in Arlington TX.
Our state and local government will not enforce these two laws….
1) TEX LG. CODE ANN. A§ 253.005 : Texas Statutes – Section 253.005: LEASE OF OIL, GAS, OR MINERAL LAND
"(c) A well may not be drilled in the thickly settled part of the municipality.."
2. Texas Administrative Code, Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 101, Subchapter A,
Rule 101.4, Environmental Quality, Nuisance
No person shall discharge from any source whatsoever one or more
air contaminants or combinations thereof, in such concentration and
of such duration as are or may tend to be injurious to or to adversely affect human health or welfare, animal life, vegetation, or property, or as to interfere with the normal use and enjoyment of animal life, vegetation, or property.
We had a drill spill in Lake Arlington, our drinking source, back in 2010. We also have about 100 drilling laterals under our lake that are at migration risk for seismic events and or cement failures.
We have had over a dozen gas release emission events that the general public knows about. On September 10th 2018, Arlington Fire Department's Sergeant Crowsen said at a Frown Hall meeting (due to a fracking accident) that they respond to about 10-15 gas well complaints a year. Per our 2019 budget on page 120, it will cost us almost $500,000 in 2019 for gas well emergency response readiness.
The following are the items lacking in our URBAN oil and gas drilling ordinance………………..1. ELECTRIC mandate:a. Mandate electric drilling rigs.b. Mandate electric frac pumps Evolution Well Services – Innovation Not Imitation.

During fracking where the radioactive silica dust is flying around, we need the industry to contain the dust to OSHA 2016 standards at 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air averaged during an 8-hour shift. Currently, the oil & gas industry is getting preferential treatment to not have to be in compliance until June 23 2021. There is no entity looking out for the residential silica exposures, only worker exposures. Here is a video of what the silica exposures during fracking look like at our Bruder drill site, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWw8U40Q4Sk4. Ban the use of Hydrofluoric and Hydrochloric Acid for less caustic treatments such as chelates. https://chelates.nouryon.com/siteassets/Brochure-dissolvine-stimwell.pdf5.

text: Covariance Posted by Dr Ben Still on August 9, 2013 • Comments (1) Covariance has been chosen as the name for this first artwork commissioned by the Institute of Physics in its Superposistion series which pairs physicists with artists. The term covariance is itself mathematical but used in physics; it is the measure of the association between random mathematical variables. Put less technically, covariance is a measure of the degree to which a change in any number of unrelated things is unified when their environment changes around them. Covariance is an apt name for the installation for many reasons. First it reflects the journey Lyndall and myself continue to take together, learning from each other and discovering new ideas. Secondly it speaks of the underlying symbiosis in the piece of the visualisation of experimental and design of particle physics detectors. Most importantly, however, I feel are the links between the production and location of the installation and that of particle detectors around the World. Every aspect of the design, construction and installation of Covariance draws massive parallels between the design, construction and installation of a particle physics detector. Its home of the subterranean ice wells of the London Canal Museum also fits the homes of the massive detectors. Come to the London Canal Museum to see for yourself; Covariance opens to the public at the end of this month, tickets and more info here.

Serendipity ~ a fortunate discovery made by accident and sagacity while searching for something else. Originally coined by Horace Walpole in 1754.
In the late 1970s, during one of my trips back to Iowa, my mother and I decided to drive to East Elkport, the birthplace of her father and to learn more about his German emigrant family. In over sixty years, she had never visited her father's birthplace even though he was born a mere 50 miles north of our hometown. But in those intervening years, she developed a love of history and now had a bad case of family history fever. We were both excited to take this journey together.
We climbed the small hill to the cemetery above the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Elkport, a nearby town. We had no map or guide so we carefully searched the rows of moss-covered monuments until at last we came upon the gravestone of my mother's grandparents and their young daughter, Sophia Dora (or Baby Dora) whom we had not known about. The monument showed she died in 1871 at age two, along with entries for 1887 and 1892 for Dora's parents. We carefully copied the fading inscriptions and took several photos.
A view of Elkport with Immanuel Lutheran Church in the middle.
Above on the hill and to the right of the steeple is the cemetery. Date unknown.
At the bottom of the hill, we stopped by the Lutheran pastor's home to ask if any church records existed. He graciously let us search the fragile pages until we found entries for the family, including the baptism in 1876 of William Peter Andresen, my grandfather.
William Peter Andresen with his mother, Margaretha Dorothea Thomsen Andresen. Since she is wearing widow's black, it appears she is in mourning for her husband, Karl Heinrich Andresen (known in East Elkport as C.H. Andresen), who died at age 52 in 1887. She died in 1892 at age 57. Based on these dates, this photo was probably taken about 1888-1889, when William would have been about twelve or thirteen. This is the only known photo of Margaretha Andresen.
Original was owned by William's oldest daughter, Margaret who, no doubt, was named after her grandmother. Now in possession of her sons.
Although the sun was setting, we headed for the library to see if there were any town or county histories. We quickly found The History of Clayton County, Iowa (1882) on the shelf but the index listed a C. H. Anderson, not the correct spelling. As I pointed this error out to my mother, a woman searching at the sole microfilm reader looked up and asked which name we were looking for. When we said, "Andresen", we were rewarded with a big smile. "I'm related to you!" She explained that our ancestors followed her ancestors from Schleswig-Holstein and that several descendants remained in the county. We never dreamt that we would discover a distant cousin that day, specifically a distant cousin who was descended from the older sister of my mother's grandmother and who could fill in many of the empty branches on our family tree.
What's more, since she was a school teacher, she was only able to research her family during summer vacations. What if we had arrived during the school year?
My grandfather was orphaned at age 15 in 1892 and soon after, moved to Dubuque, Iowa, to learn the barber's trade from his older brother-in-law. Since he was the youngest of a family of six children, three born in Schleswig-Holstein and three born in Iowa, I imagine he did not carry early stories with him of his family or ancestors. But an older aunt and her children might.
This seredipitous discovery of a distant cousin and the information we both shared, eventually took us back to original documents from the 1600s in Germany and to the uncovering of many stories since about my grandfather's origins.
That day, when we returned home, my mother and I, usually very serious-minded, definitely did The Genealogists' Happy Dance.

That is great that you got to research with your mother. I work with my Mom too, but we mostly "meet" on the Internet due to the distance we live from each other. Congratulations on your find!

It is neat that you were abe to visit there. I would love to explore Jackson county Iowa for records and just to see it.
I had a Michal as in Michael not Micheel living close to my Fritz or Friedrich Meyer/ Meier. to learn more about Maquoketa church records.
Lucky he had those records and not in a archive place. jo
