History of STEM
STEM is something we so often hear about in education, yet some of us may not truly have an understanding about what it includes. STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. This curriculum was created to encourage teachers to teach all four disciplines as an intertwined approach where they all work together, rather than teaching them in separate capacities. Edweek shares that there are four C's that STEM education works towards building within our students:
Critical Thinking
All of these work together with the 21st century skills to help students learn the importance of learning in the world around them. To better understand STEM we first have to take a look at the history of STEM.
"In the 1990s, many education councils, such as the National Science Education Standards and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, helped guide U.S. educators' classrooms with standards and guidelines that shaped their curriculum to better prepare K-12 students in STEM. And the 1990s was also one of the first times an acronym was used to define the topic of STEM" (10). Fast forward to 2017 and STEM is a major part in any early childhood classroom. "Stem is a movement to develop the deep mathematical and scientific underpinnings students need to be competitive in the 21st-century workforce" (1). What separates STEM from your typical early childhood math and science curriculum is showing students how, and why, you can use the scientific method in your everyday life. "Stem develops a set of thinking, reasoning, teamwork, investigative, and creative skills that students can use in all areas of their lives" (1).
Enhancing Student Learning
So why is STEM so important to students in an early childhood setting? "Research shows that the earlier we guide and support children's wonder about the world -- and thereby identify opportunities for children to acquire foundational STEM skills -- the more successful they are in all areas of learning later on" (3). STEM improves children's education in many ways. "STEM education helps to bridge the ethnic and gender gaps sometimes found in math and science fields," (2). While STEM works to combine all subjects, we see a major influence in the fields of math and science. "Researchers have found that effective early mathematics education can enhance later learning and narrow achievement gaps," (4). "In your STEM lessons, you should purposefully connect and integrate content from math and science courses. Students can then begin to see that science and math are not isolated subjects, but work together to solve problems. This adds relevance to their math and science," (1). STEM can have a huge impact on your students learning. It is a growing field that is becoming more relevant throughout the education field. To learn more about how STEM enhances student learning you can watch this short video.
Implementing STEM
Implementing STEM isn't something that happens overnight. There are many key aspects and things to think about when bringing STEM into the classroom. Education Week shares six characteristics of a great STEM lesson:
STEM lessons focus on real-world issues and problems.
STEM lessons are guided by the engineering process.
STEM lessons immerse students in hands-on inquiry and open-ended exploration.
STEM lessons involve students in productive teamwork.
STEM lessons apply rigorous math and science content your students are learning.
STEM lessons allow for multiple right answers and reframe failure as a necessary part of learning.
When implementing STEM into our classrooms we must take all six of these characteristics into account. We have to make sure that our lessons address "real social, economic, and environmental problems," (1). Our lessons must be "open-ended, hands-on and collaborative, as well as have student generated decisions about solutions," (1). STEM allows us to bring creativity into our classrooms through the materials we use, the tasks we want our students to complete, and how they come up with the solution. "What separates STEM from the traditional science and math education is the blended learning environment and showing students how the scientific method can be applied to everyday life." (6).
Getting Students Involved
So how can we get the students involved? "STEM Bins are plastic boxes filled with an engineering manipulative of your choice, such as LEGO bricks, pattern blocks, Dixie cups, toothpicks and playdough, or popsicle sticks with Velcro. The boxes also contain sets of task cards that picture a variety of basic real world structures to inspire students to build" (5). The best part about STEM Bins is that they allow students to be working on tasks that are engaging and promote critical and creative thinking and they can be used in so many different ways. Brown gives us multiple ways that we can use STEM Bins in our classroom. The first is simply for early finishers, this allows teachers to give them meaningful work instead of just simply giving them more work to keep them busy. The second way we can utilize these are for morning work. This allows students to come in and wake up their brains without a lot of prep work for teachers. The third way we can use these bins are for literacy centers. By using them for literacy we allow students who cannot think of what to write about to first create something and then write about their creation. Brown tells us that "Bins provide an outlet for early finishers, they also serve as a potential reward for students to finish their work in the first place" (5), this may help motivate students who don't want to work too!
STEM Bins are a simple tool that you can utilize so many ways. "Research shows strong links between creative play and language, physical, cognitive, and social development" (8). Using STEM Bins in your classroom is an easy way to promote creative play that will allow your students to practice skills that will allow them to be successful in the 21st century workforce.

Educator Feedback
"The students in the classroom start their morning with Morning Tubs. They know as soon as they walk in that they are to start their tub and complete whatever task they have at hand. I feel as though the students are more eager to come in each day because they know they get to start their day out "playing". The tubs have tasks that require students to build, create and solve math problems, and allow for their own creativity to emerge."
- First Grade Teacher
Referring to Stem bins: "I love that these are open ended and that they utilize everyday items that are already found in my classroom."
- Kindergarten Teacher
"My friends have starting thinking outside the box with the materials. Students walk in the door excited to get started. Morning tubs have minimized our morning routine. Students don't want to waste any time making lunch choices, putting away their folders, or stowing their backpacks because they know their time is already limited. After playing and talking and laughing, my friends come to the carpet and are ready to learn."
- The Brown Bag Teacher (7)
"We are on our 5th round of morning tubs, and my students still absolutely love this time in our day. It gives them a chance to socialize with other students in the morning, while being creative and using their imaginations."

Like most rogue websites (including liverealdeals.com, flyrlk.com, cpm10.com and lots of more), trkredir.com is designed to redirect its site visitors to various untrustworthy (doubtlessly malicious) web sites. regularly, most site visitors end up on it unwillingly, its doubtlessly unwanted applications (PUAs) that make users to visit it. most PUAs infiltrate structures stealthily – customers install them by accident. Such programs typically supply diverse advertisements and gather information as nicely.
As soon as set up, doubtlessly unwanted packages use internet browsers to open a new tab (or window) and redirect users to trkredir.com rogue website. As quickly because it receives visited, trkredir.com triggers additional (approximately or 3) redirects to other untrustworthy websites that might be malicious and could infect computer systems with various excessive-chance infections. typically, PUAs additionally affect browsing fine by using turning in various intrusive commercials (coupons, banners, surveys, pop-u.s.etc.) that, traditionally, are displayed via equipment that permit placement of 1/3 birthday celebration graphical content and cover underlying content material of any visited website. If clicked, advertisements of this kind frequently redirect customers to different untrustworthy websites or run scripts which can be designed to down load (and install) probably unwanted packages. furthermore, most PUAs builders generate revenue through sharing the accrued data (IP addresses, keystrokes, search queries, URLs of visited websites, geo-locations and many others.) with 0.33 parties (doubtlessly cyber criminals). it is very probable that PUAs will collect and share now not most effective the mentioned records, but some non-public or sensitive facts as nicely. via sharing such data PUAs builders would possibly pose an immediate hazard to consumer's privateness, browsing safety. Such moves might also purpose an identification robbery as properly. a few PUAs are designed to run various heritage responsibilities too, and with the aid of running them they motive a lower in computer's performance. this is why it's far strongly endorsed to uninstall PUAs immediately.
There may be an uncountable number of PUAs of this kind and it's far growing by means of the times. Moat PUAs builders offer users numerous "beneficial" features/gear and try to make these programs to appear legitimate and on hand. but, there are many cases whereby PUAs report sensitive facts, supply ads and purpose deceptive redirects, and use it as a tool to generate revenue (rather than presenting the capabilities promised). quite regularly PUAs deliver no vast cost for his or her customers and handiest reason damage.
How did adware installation on my computer?
Usually, potentially unwanted packages can be downloaded from their authentic websites. nonetheless, two most not unusual ways to get PUAs set up is thru intrusive ads or whilst developers use a so referred to as "bundling" method. Bundling is a misleading marketing approach used to put in doubtlessly unwanted programs within regular software program in a stealthy way. builders cover doubtlessly undesirable applications in "custom", "advanced" and other similar sections of the installation tactics, they avoid disclosing statistics approximately life of PUAs nicely, which frequently enables developers to trick users into installing various PUAs without customers understanding about it. particularly while users pass the set up steps with out checking any to be had settings or options.
How to avoid set up of potentially undesirable packages?
We strongly advise to keep away from using various 1/3 birthday celebration software installers and downloaders, torrents, unofficial and untrustworthy sources to download software program. Use most effective legit sources/websites and direct hyperlinks. always test "advanced", "custom" and different comparable settings/alternatives whilst putting in software program. Deselect unwanted gives, additional software and so forth, and best then continue to the next installation step or complete the set up. remember the fact that cyber criminals invest cash in commercial layout and this is why maximum of them look appropriate and valid. however, as soon as clicked, they regularly redirect users to various untrustworthy and probably malicious web sites (including pornography, playing, grownup dating and so forth). If some advertisement redirected you to one of the cited websites (or other suspicious internet site) close it and check what are the mounted accessories, extensions or plug-in on your web browser. If there are some unknown or suspicious entries, cast off them at once. follow this to the unknown or unwanted applications mounted in your computer as properly.

A new version of bobbing for apples-cut apple shapes out of craft foam, with a permanent marker write upper case A on half and lower case on the other half. I float them in a tub of water that is half full and have the kids grab them out with tongs seperating them into upper and lowercase groups by sticking them to the side of the tub and saying the sound A's make.
Throw play apples into a bushel basket singing the a song. (the A says ahhhhh the A says ahhhhh every letter makes a sound the A says ahhhhhhh.
Go to an orchard and pick apples if you can.
Cut apple in half both ways and dip into red paint and make apple prints.
Apple tree sequencing cards.
Read books about apples.
Get red and green pom poms and have them seperate them into groups and then count them into baskets. For fine motor skill you can also have them pick up the pom poms with a clothes pin or kiddie chopsticks.
Program tree patterns with different letters on them and using the pom poms above play apple tree bingo.
Spray foam balls with red spray paint and then with a skewer poke 2-3 holes through the ball. At the top of the ball poke a green pipe cleaner in and make it into the shape of a stem and leaf and glue into place. For each ball take a green pipe cleaner and bend both ends over a half inch, this is your worm. You now have apples and wormmsa nd you have the children weave the worms through the apple holes. They love it!!!

Adventure tours to Son Doong will most likely run from January to August. However, they will cease for the rest of the year to avoid flooding.
To protect the delicate cave system, a maximum of 450 visitors will be allowed in each year, almost twice as many as the eight month pilot period.
The pilot programme, organised by Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park and Oxalis Adventure Tours, had 243 visitors.
The 2015 programme will offer six-day and five-night tours and four-day and three-night tours at cost of US$3,000 per head. Each month, only eight groups will be allowed to tour.
Son Doong is more than 200m wide, 150m high, and about 9km long. It also houses a jungle and a river, and could fit a 40-storey skyscraper within its walls. The cave was classified as the largest cave in the world by the British Cave Research Association.
It has been recently suggested by the American news website huffingtonpost.com as one of the places to visit. Son Doong was also listed in the "52 Places to Go in 2014" by The New York Times Travel. — VNS

N.W.A. - Boyz N Tha Hood lyrics
Boyz N Tha Hood by N.W.A.
Woke up quick, at about noon,
Just thought that i had to be in compton soon.
I gotta get drunk, before the day begins,
Before my Mother starts b**chin' about my friends.
'Bout to go, and damn near went blind,
Young niggers at the path throwin' up gang signs.
Ran in the house to get the clip,
with my mack-10 on the side of my hip.
I bailed outside and I pointed my weapon
Just as I thought the fools kept steppin'
I jumped in the front, hit the juice on my ride,
I got front and back, and side to side.
Then I let the alpine play,
I was pumpin' new sh*t by NWA.
It was Gangsta, Gangsta at the top of the list,
Then I played my own sh*t - it went somethin' like this:
Cruisin' down the street in my 6 4,
Jockin' the b**ches, slappin' the hos
Went to the park to get the scoop,
Knuckleheads out there cold shootin' some hoop.
A car pulls up, who can it be?
A fresh El Camino, rollin key low-G
He rolls down the window and he starts to say
"It's all about makin' that GTA"
'Cause the Boyz in the hood are always hard,
They come talking that trash and we'll pull your card.
Know nothin' in life but to be legit,
Don't quote me boy cuz I ain't said sh*t.
Bored as hell, and I wanna get ill,
so I go to a spot where my homeboys chill.
Fellas out there making make that dolla,
I pulled out there in my 6 4 impalla.
Greeted with a 40 and I start drinkin'
and from the 8-ball my breath starts stinkin'
I gotta get my girl, to rock that body,
before I left, I hit the Bacardi.
Pull to the house, get her outta the path,
the b**ch said somethin' ta make me mad.
she said somethin' that I couldn't believe,
so I grabbed the stupid b**ch by her nappy-ass weave.
Started talkin' sh*t, wouldn't you know,
I reached back like a pimp,
and I slapped the ho.
When her father stood up, and he started to shout,
so I threw a right cross and knocked his old ass out.
'Cause the Boyz in the hood are always hard,
come talking that trash and we'll pull your card.
Know nothin' in life but to be legit,
Don't quote me boy I ain't said sh*t.

The only thing more satisfying than drinking wine...
is discovering it
An experienced wine educator and presenter, Jerry offers educational,
entertaining wine seminars, trains restaurant wait staffs, blogs and writes
regular columns for several magazines and newspapers, consults with
restaurants on their wine selections, and has published several books.
He also hosts wine tastings for parties in private homes, and at
many charity events. His audio-visual presentations on wine
appreciation are widely viewed.
Jerry "de-mystifies" the subject of wine and his writings and
live presentations offer useful hints, tips, and information
that add elegance and fun to every lifestyle.
All the wine wisdom you need to flabbergast your friends, dumfound your dates, astound your associates, amaze your acquaintances, and nonplus your neighbors.

Well, it's that time of year again…when delightfully cool mornings give way to toasty warm and wet weather all the way through October. That means we have to shift our habits of wine enjoyment a bit, because in general, big heavy reds and mouthfilling whites aren't all that refreshing when it's 95 degrees out around the pool.
So this is when we start searching for lighter refreshment and lighter-bodied wines…but still with the complex flavors and aromas that make it all so much fun. Once in a while, we can head for the bold varietals when we're cooking up that big dinner…and we definitely grab...

Your Favourite Fall Sport (You Haven't Yet Heard Of)!
Sep 01, 2016
Blog post & photos submitted by John Hauser, The Silver Goose Race Committee Organizer
Your new favourite fall sport, Cyclocross, is coming to BruceGreySimcoe. Sure, maybe you haven't heard of it yet, but you are going to love it!
Cyclocross is bicycle racing's most spectator friendly discipline. The sport began at the turn of the 20
century, in the fields and on the roads of France and Belgium. Road racers looking to extend their season into the fall and winter raced from one point to another with no defined route. Whoever got to the finish location fastest was declared the winner of the day. Cyclists were not confined to the roads: farmer's fields, wooded trails, and river crossings were all fair game. The popularity of the sport grew in Europe, especially since the extreme nature of the races was beloved by spectators.
As the century trudged forward, the sport of cyclocross changed. No longer were the races held from point to point; now they are held on a short circuit measuring 2.5 -3.5 km. Undoubtedly this was a change made to make the sport even more spectator friendly. The courses feature steep hills, tree roots, rocks, sand pits, and barriers, including stairs and hurdles. Racers are forced to dismount their bikes to get through these barriers, quickly remounting as they race to a final bell lap for thirty minutes to one hour, depending on the race category.
Modern professional cyclocross racing is dominated by Belgian racers. To Belgians, cyclocross is as much a part of their countries national identity as hockey is to Canadians. Spectators surround the race circuit munching on French fries dipped in mayonnaise, many sip a beer. They are able to be inches from the race action, standing right on the side of the race circuit. The atmosphere is electric. It is this race experience that is currently developing in North America.
It is only in the last few years that races of the highest calibre have taken place "across the pond". As it just so happens, Simcoe County is producing Canada's newest generation of international contenders in the sport. In 2015, three Junior athletes (two boys and one girl) from Simcoe County went to the World Cyclocross Championships in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium. Prior to their international races, these racers competed in Midland's Little Lake Park, at a race called The Silver Goose that is quickly becoming one of the most popular cyclocross races in Ontario.
For 2016,
The Silver Goose
has been selected to host the Ontario Provincial Cyclocross Championships. On Sunday, November 13th the province's best racers will challenge one another on the course in Little Lake Park to take the title as the best in the province. So, come out, let's build the electric atmosphere of your new favourite fall sport.
In addition to hosting Cyclocross Provincial Championships, BruceGreySimcoe will also host two top level races in the provincial points cyclocross race series, called The Ontario Cup. The dates and locations for these events are:
Baseball Cross
– October 8; Barrie Community Sports Complex, Barrie
Hardwood Cross
– October 9; Hardwood Ski and Bike, Oro-Medonte
These three races are partnering to form the Northern Cyclocross Series. Special prizing will be available to racers that attend all three events. Visit

Knight Frank, the leading global international property consultancy, announces the launch of a new gated community project, Chalet Roublevo, located in the 24th km of the Roublevo-Uspenskoye highway. The community is located in the territory of 15 ha on a hill surrounded by forest and includes 82 land plots, area ranging from 9.47 up to 15.4 acres each, with pre-engineered buildings of 120, 160 and 210 sq m. The cost of a household at Chalet Roublevo starts at RUR 12 mln, which can be compared to the cost of a reasonably priced apartment in Moscow.
The architectural concept of the community is designed by a well-renowned Moscow AvKube bureau. All the buildings are designed as classic Austrian chalets: elements of wood and artificial stone are used at the façades fine finishing.
All the necessary infrastructure facilities like kindergarten, elementary school, dry cleaning and department stores are located right next to the community and 1 km away from Gorki-10 community.
By the moment, all the utility systems (water, gas, and electricity) are settled at Chalet Roublevo, all the land plots are marked, draft roads are driven and the construction works of the first five houses are on. The delivery of the project in planned for Q2 2016.
Knight Frank acted both as consultant for partnering co-investors search for joint realization of the projects and as exclusive concept developer and marketing agent. Knight Frank is also in charge of the sales of the buildings to end-users.
Maria Kotova, Partner, Executive Director, Knight Frank Russia & CIS: "Knight Frank works with premium real estate all over the globe. And the price always depends on the class (property qualities) and the location (territory qualities). This is not the first time when we take part in the project aimed at bringing both: the comfort living to the buyers and the reasonable profitability to the seller. We've done our best to solve both of these problems. In general, the concept of the project includes a special focus on details starting from the floor planning and up to the landscape design and infrastructure. At the same time, the pricing is at the limit between a country house and an apartment in Moscow."

Ciara Just Showed Us a Whole New Way to Rock a Cat Eye
Things we have a love/hate relationship with: the gym, our roommates and cat-eye eyeliner. Now don't get us wrong; a sleek cat eye can look amazing. But anyone who has ever tried the look knows that it can quickly turn into a half-hour process. One side will look great, but oh wait! The other side is a little thicker. So then you go to make the first eye just a bit bolder only to end up with two totally jet black eyelids.
However, if you're reading this and thinking, "Pshh, I get it right the first time every time," then you may want to try the upgraded cat eye Ciara recently showed off on Instagram (also you should definitely share your technique with us). The singer recently posted a close up of her makeup from the set of her upcoming video, "Dance Like We're Making Love."
The look, which features a precise v-shaped cut out, was expertly created by celebrity makeup artist Yolonda Fredrick. While it's not the easiest look to master, it's definitely not impossible. In a video for Sephora, eyeliner master Kat Von Dee shared exactly how she creates the same triangle cut out.
She starts by using a waterproof liquid liner and begins drawing a line that follows the natural curve of her bottom lid. After that, she builds the shape from the middle of the eye. Once she's perfected a normal-looking cat-eye, she starts creating that negative space. Kat covers a Q-tip with a makeup-removing wipe to get a super precise point. She uses that to neatly erase the top of the liner. Once she has that empty space, she goes back with the liquid liner to and draw the triangle. And voila!
If you're a cat-eye newbie and looking for some secret ways to master the look, check out our post where we tried and tested three beauty hacks that are rumored to make the application easier (there are spoons and business cards involved, people). We won't say you'll definitely get it right the first time, but this artful cat-eye is definitely not as complicated as it may seem.
Have you ever tried this look? Tell us how it looked in the comments below.

Guide to a Worry Free Move:
Bring this, don't bring this. Customs can be confusing, with varying requirements from one country to another.
There are basis elements for you to keep in mind , simple oversight could result in delays, fines or even seizure of your shipment by foreign Customs authorities.
To be safe, dont take any of the following:
In most countries, your houshold goods and personal effects can often by entered duty free (But some items are subject to certain provisions) it's important to remember that any duties or taxes levied against your shipment are in addition to our own charges. In most cases, you can settle your customs charges with your overseas agent. However, there are times when you'll be required to deal directly with the Customs office. If that's the case, be sure to obtain an official receipt and keep it, as some duties are refundable when you leave the country.
The Art of Packing
You may well laugh, but packing, (and more to the point, unpacking), can bring tears to your eyes.
It's the bit everyone dreads and can turn a move into a nightmare if not done properly. So if you don't fancy going insane trying to find that blasted bottle-opener, take a minute to read Packing Tips!

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the putative "public servant" overseeing the IMF, has been conducting himself in the classic tradition of lecherous, narcissistic, self-indulgent 18th century monarchs. And in the grand tradition of serfdom, we American taxpayers, along with working stiffs from 186 other "member countries," transport the fruits of our labors inside the castle walls of the IMF. We are the ones who provide the capital that puts the "fund" in International Monetary Fund.
For what reason? So that the IMF can give some of our capital back to us if we get into financial difficulty. At least that's the stated rationale for this large-scale larceny.
Officially, the IMF functions to:
* Promote international monetary cooperation.
* Facilitate the expansion and balanced growth of international trade.
* Promote exchange rate stability.
* Assist in maintaining a multilateral system of payments.
* Provide resources to members experiencing balance of payments difficulties.
Unofficially, the IMF operates to fund the debauchery of lechers, while also bailing out profligate nations who may or may not repay the bailouts. Under the IMF's existing quota, the US is the largest member, representing 17.75% of the pie. In exchange for this membership, the US has provided the IMF with about $58 billion. Furthermore, this allocation will nearly double, thanks to the IMF's "Fourteenth General Quota Review."

Day 0: The launch
We left Eastbourne at 4:30 on Sunday morning to give us plenty of time to get to Goodwood for the 8 AM registration. The trouble with we had with the ignition system the day before meant we couldn't make the registration and party on the Saturday, so taking the late registration on Sunday was our only option.
Taking it slow and steady, we arrived at Goodwood at around 7 AM. We were both feeling excited that we'd finally made it to the start after countless hours of work and very little sleep. All that preparation was finally coming to fruition. All the stress and anxiety the powder puff had caused us was worth it.
All we needed to do now was register, finish putting the stickers on the car and prepare ourselves for the blast around the track. We parked up in the paddock and loads of people started taking a shine to the Ligier and laughing at just how ridiculous it looked.
We were in the second batch of cars to take on the challenge of the circuit. We found out that there was a minor fender bender in the first batch, so there was a short delay while we were waiting for the debris to be cleared up. Finally, it was our turn. Frantically accelerating off the start line, we eventually hit our top speed of 40mph on the second to last corner and overtook about 10 cars. Of course we were overtaken ourselves by at least 20 cars beforehand.
After the lap it was straight back out on to the public roads. We found ourselves leading the second batch for roughly 30 seconds before everyone got fed up at our top speed and overtook us. At least we were ahead of the third batch!
We were scheduled for the Hastings pit stop at 1PM and to our surprise we were only 30 minutes late. We rolled in and parked up to find friends and family standing around waiting for our arrival. Thanks to Mikey and Hastings Council for the free fish and chips which landed in our hands without us noticing and to everyone who turned up to see us off. Your support really helps to keep us motived in achieving our goal.
Sirens blaring, we departed the Stade and began our ascend up the A259 towards Rye. At the traffic lights we had a red light which stopped all of our momentum. We now needed a hill start. But it was here that we discovered that our car didn't have enough unicorns to cope. One of us had to get out and give our fairy a push which is not a good sign of things to come. Without shredding some pounds, this is only going to get a lot worse.
2 hours later we arrived at Dover ferry port after a few close encounters with lorries and a worrisome number of hills. Our top speed limitations meant we missed our intended ferry so we queued up to get the next one. In the queue we met around a dozen other teams who we got chatting with. They were telling us how surprised they were that we made it this far. Even the lady in the checkin booth told us that our car was barmy and the smallest Mongol Rally car she'd seen. We told her that this was the record we were aiming to beat.
90 minutes later we docked in Calais and had reunited our 4 wheeled wonder back its native motherland. We got out of Calais, formed a convoy with a few other teams and fitted our duct tape improvised beam deflectors. A little while down the road, team OMJ had overheating troubles. After cooling down their Mini Scamp, we both made our way to Dunkirk before sunset to hold up overnight.

Microsoft's web vision…
24 April 2008 Leave a comment
I read an article today on the BBC website about Microsoft's web vision. I can't tell if this press release is smoke and mirrors or if there's more to it.
I can say that Microsoft appear to be playing catchup in the cloud computing arena and the new Live services are a relatively comprehensive set of tools available in the 'cloudsphere'. I do see a change in focus for Microsoft and it's long overdue in my opinion. I've already blogged about Grava and it's potential for adoption in the educational community (assuming it gets taken further as it's still relatively basic). The thing about this press release and I have seen it with other companies including Google is that they release a 'vision statement' plus some apps that are similar to ones their rivals produce, so tell me where is the unique 'killer app' amongst them? – How open are they to 'intermeshing' with non-MS tools? – Is it up to me (or more likely Tony Hirst) to produce the killer mesh? – only time will tell.

23rd Sept 2011. The Australian Business Foundation with support from Macquarie University and NSW Trade and Investment, has released an updated research piece on successful industry clustering in Australia. The study focused on the Northern Sydney Technology Corridor.
Click here to download the report.
"Look at the big glass boxes on Waterloo Road," says author Roy Green. "That's really what it is — a row of glass boxes. People drive to their office, park in the company car park, have a coffee in their own cafeteria, go to their desk and call New York, Seattle, or Berlin, do a day's work, then go back to their car and drive home. At no time do they interact with anyone else on Waterloo Road or at the university, which is only a stroll away. All the glass boxes on Waterloo Road are productive enterprises, and they add value to the NSW economy, but they exist largely for sales and marketing. If you care about Australia's propensity for innovation, it's a depressing picture.
The results are intended to contribute to Australian government planning and policy by providing an account of the attractors for businesses to a region, and of the opportunities for growth and the sustainable development of regions through clustering activities.
The study left its authors to conclude that whilst the Northern Sydney Technology Corridor is not an industry cluster, it is slightly more than an agglomeration. It is a nascent cluster with potential:
1. A vibrant local market but minimal business interaction
2. Innovative businesses that tend to stand alone
3. Educated workforce with limited research linkages
4. A nascent clustering with potential for impact
The aim of the Northern Sydney Global Technology Corridor Clustering study was to determine whether businesses in two prominent high technology sectors of northern Sydney are operating as industry clusters, exhibit some limited evidence of clustering or are only an agglomeration of businesses in the same industry in a single geographical location. A further aim was to provide a sound empirical basis for policy intervention to facilitate clustering and to maximise its economic impact.

Yesterday was my first day back at work. I'm going in on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Big is spending the days with Mom-of-Four down the street (plus some time on Wednesdays for me to prep).
He had a fabulous time yesterday, as evidenced by the screaming as Grandpa tore him away. So fabulous that, when BioMom checked in with a phone call later that night, MofF reported that Big called her "Mama" all day long.
Maybe I'll still be Baba someday afterall.

Users still wary about LTO-4 encryption
| LTO-4 tape drives, the newest incarnation of the LTO format, introduced users to drive-level encryption capabilities, as well as doubled the capacity and speed of the previous LTO generation.
But users haven't wholly embraced LTO-4's encryption capabilities. In a recent Storage survey, 15% of respondents cited native encryption as their reason for upgrading to LTO-4 tape and more than a third of those using LTO-4 weren't employing the encryption. Several respondents cited concerns over key management and worries about backup software vendors not supporting encryption features.
Ray Littlefield, storage administrator at Conservation International, an Arlington, VA-based nonprofit environmental group, is considering LTO-4 drives as an upgrade from his current LTO-2 setup. Encryption is enticing to Littlefield, and the main reason he's mulling over the update. "Encryption is like a rider on the insurance policy that says 'insurance against data theft too,'" writes Littlefield in an email. However, he adds, "the key consideration is whether the technology will be around three to five years from now so that the equipment will still be available if you need to restore those encrypted tapes."
Richard Tocci, technical support lead at AMS Services, which makes insurance agency automation software, doesn't yet have the backup needs to upgrade to LTO-4, but worries about the long-term availability of encrypted data. "What mostly concerns me is loss of the passphrase," he writes in an email, "or having to restore emergency data from a device where the tape is locked down by encryption."
Managing tape encryption might be as simple as remembering where you put your keys. Cindy Grossman, VP of tape storage solutions at IBM, thinks effective key management is what users encrypting data need to focus on. According to IBM's Grossman, it's all about keeping track of the keystore, the unique identifying information that lets users access data after it's been encrypted.
IBM, one of the members of the LTO Consortium, started shipping its LTO-4s last April. "We've been working with clients to help demystify the scariness of 'What if I lose a key?'" says Grossman. "It's really more a fear of the unknown." IBM's consulting service usually asks LTO-4 customers to decide how many keys they'll need, who will have key access and manage keys, and whether they will re-key periodically--essentially the same as changing a password regularly.
Grossman says some clients worry that they'll have to rewrite all of their existing data on encrypted tapes, a scenario she says isn't realistic. "The best practice is to encrypt going forward," she says.
Keeping track of the key is the core ingredient to unlocking encrypted data after a disaster. That's assuming AES-256 encryption stays the same, standards don't change, and LTO "write backward one generation, read backward two generations" rules are followed.
Grossman thinks LTO-4's encryption chip will become commonplace for all disk and tape drives. Managing the key-based encryption is where more development will happen. "That's the piece that's going to evolve to be a little more sophisticated over time," she says. "I think we will see the whole key management piece becoming more automated, perhaps more policy based.
"Maybe in three or four years, maybe longer, we'll have more customers that encrypt than don't," she continues. "I think we're still in an evolution process of clients trying to decide how they're going to do it."
Fears over lost data and the accompanying PR continue to haunt businesses and drive encryption. "We don't want to be the next organization listed in the newspaper as having their backup tapes lost or stolen without being encrypted," writes Conservation International's Littlefield. "Data theft is just another type of disaster you're trying to protect against."

Video: Durga pujo video song launch
Indo-Brazilian singer Carlyta Maria Mouhini released her latest Durga Puja song "Dhaak je baje-Maa je elo" in the presence of Debasree Roy, Koneenica Banerjee, S F Karim and others. Actress Papia Adhikari was present at the occasion too.
Carlyta Maria Mouhini is an Indo-Latin international singer. She lent her voice to songs like Le le maza le from the Bollywood film Wanted and sang the Spanish lyrics of Senorita from the film Zindegi Na Milegi Dobara.
Speaking at the occasion, she said "This song is my tribute to my Bengali roots. My paternal grandmother was the last student of Tagore and she was descendant of Rammohan Roy. So she always stressed on the fact that me and my sibling learn Bengali. Hence I thought of paying my tribute to my Bengali lineage during this festive time of the year".
This is a single video song which has the unique Samba fusion rhythm of Dhaak and Dhol with the Mahalaya slokas interspersed with simple English and Bengali lyrics. The lyrics trace the arrival of the Mother Goddess will her immersion on the day of Dashami.
"There is a sudden positive and energetic vibe to the way she sings the songs. She is lively and that shows in her songs. This time during the immersion ceremony, this song will be a major hit and people will surely groove to the catchy and simple lyrics" said actress Koneenica.
The video has been shot exclusively in Kolkata, Kumartuli, the Ganges and other localities suiting the needs of the song.
The video song has been gaining much popularity online on Youtube where it has been released.

Autumn Morning
The jetty is deserted in the sun. Warm light streams to the river-bed, catching the lines of feeding fish, bright on the warm sand, seen clearly through unruffled water, their movements matching the slow currents, threading the new growth over tyres, cables, cans, all shown lying still in growing weed, changing fast into the stuff of the river. Bars of gold sun fall on them, holding the shrimps, the mussel shells, the lives all overlooked. Martins dart past to their nests under the boarding. The morning smells of sea air, and new-mown grass, as ripples run on this calm day. Even those cans and types are full of life, each harbours its own crew of living things. Ripples like cool fires wander the sunlit surface, lines blown by some unfelt wind. At the shore a few people are wading. A few dogs and children run on nearby grass. Over its little commonwealth of lives of the hardly interesting, the marginal, the small, the hardly beautiful, itself part of them all and happily ignored, where so much thrives the jetty stands deserted in the sun.
Heathrow Morning
Chill early morning. With the other jet-lags I stretch my legs and, laden, disembark. The whole is dreamlike as I lift my bags. Some dawn is rising out of slate-grey dark.
What will England give me? Pageants of the past? Disappointments? Bleak rooms alone? I put my best fact on it: here at last, ready for bold banners and grey stone.
With my cases I pass the meeting Place (a droning sound in the distance), set off to the Cotswolds bus, new days in my face. Minutes in England already but I've met
nothing I'd call colourful or quaint. Then, with four engines' shuddering beat a relic Lancaster in new silver paint flies overhead at two hundred feet.
Second Heathrow Morning
Grey dawn at Heathrow.Jet-lagged, eyes smarting, sleepless,I stumble alone towards the Meeting PointThrough the grey shoals of the crowdAnd suddenlyMy loved one's arms are about me,Her lips are on mine,And the air is fullOf light and music.

The world of content creation in the digital marketing sphere has evolved significantly over the last five years. In fact, the strategies around content creation were so vastly different back then that a lot of those same principles cannot even be applied to present day. With that in mind, businesses need to be ever so certain that the content that they are creating, whether it be for email marketing or social media management, hits their intended target audience on the first go.
Stop Thy Spam
Fact: In 2018, a staggering 14.5 billion spam emails are sent every single day and 45% of all emails sent are spam.
When it comes to email marketing, everyone is doing the same shotgun approach and mass emailing a huge list and telling their prospects "our service is better and cheaper than our competitors", while the next email that same person gets is from another vendor or company saying the same exact thing the previous person said.
Okay, that is great and all, but businesses need to differentiate themselves when it comes to email marketing. Everyone and their mother is saying how their product is the latest and greatest, but if a business cannot trust you, as a person, then how can they have the confidence to invest capital into, say, a 12-month commitment?
Trust Must Be Earned
When going after leads, one needs to build credibility to win over potential customers. Instead of saying "I have the best chat bot in the world", maybe say "our chat bot solves many industry pain points that you face daily, and I know this solution will work for you as I have personally implemented this solution for many others", then, follow that statement up with a case study, testimonial or reference from a trusted client. Nothing wins people over more than seeing the results in person.
Another area to avoid is empty promises. As a business owner, hearing "this solution can get you more leads a month" sounds promising in theory, but again, why should that person trust what is being said? Why does your solution gain more leads, why does your solution save me money? Nothing will turn a business off more than being sold on a solution based on "you will receive 50 phone calls this month if you side with me" and then not hitting that number. Not only is it a massive waste of time and dollars, but it gives the wrong impression and will only turn off the customer from trying out future vendors.
Deliver That Content Creation
With all that said, one area that is very often over looked is content delivery. Sure, sending an email blast with fancy graphics and templates is pleasing to the eye, but does it get across the information that needs to be said in a clean manner? Instead of over complicating things, sometimes the best solution is to view email marketing as starting a conversation. If attending a networking event, one wouldn't go up to someone else and start telling them their business's life story and everything right off the bat, but instead, that person will give them a short elevator pitch, and then if they are interested, they will go into more detail.
This same principle can be applied to email marketing. Instead of cramming a bunch of content into a long scrolling email, or worse, having people receiving the email manually download images if using an email client like Microsoft Outlook (this plays into that trust factor from a moment ago), structure emails like an elevator pitch: include some bullet points, leave out the graphics and then if the prospect is interested send them more information.
To Conlude
Business owners are extremely weary in today's market, which is why a business must nail content creation. In 2018, missing opportunities can short change a business and set a negative trend downwards. Be smart about deliverables and know what the intended target audience needs and wants and the opportunities will be there for the taking.

Mechanical Engineering in that sense has to do with the generation and application of heat and mechanical power and the design, production and use of machines and tools. It encompasses the discipline in applying the principles of engineering, physics, and materials.
It embodies learning the physics and material science for designs. Mechanical to begin with has to do with the profession of applying scientific principles to design, construction, and maintenance of engines, cars, machines, among others.
You would not have a list of most developed countries and not include China, because China seeks to improve in all aspects of the human life especially in engineering since that is the backbone for almost all develops; with all the equipment and facilities giving you a conducive atmosphere for both theoretical and practical studies. The fees structure is flexible and affordable considering the packages it comes with; admission letter, jw202 for visa application and annual visa renewal for the time of study here, daily usage of modern facilities, talk of laboratories, dormitories, classrooms, canteens, library, gymnasium and other recreational centers. All lectures are in basic English medium so there is no worry about the language barrier. This is not all; we have modern facilities to give a conducive atmosphere for achieve the peak of learning and staying within the undergraduate program period of four (4) years. It does not end there because you would also have the school's souvenirs being given to you.
Mechanical engineers employ scientific and mathematic principles to ad-lib technical solutions for problems in interpretation, engine diamond in the rough, and manufacturing. Aspiring technical engineers must get a bachelor's length in factory made engineering at token, and take care of pursue graduate degrees in the field. Every status requires that automated engineers get licensure, which calls for advancement, supervised field experience, and part of examinations.
You owe yourself that task to seek the best out of everything you want, including the study of Mechanical Engineering. Schools in this country seek to give you exactly what you need to face the world in the near future, talk of the modern laboratories and equipment, library, dormitories and the affordable fees that comes with all these wonderful packages like admission letter, jw202 for visa application and visa renewal annually, school souvenirs among others.

Artificial intelligence poses a greater challege to the world than terrorism, the incoming president of the British Science Association has warned.
Professor Jim Al-Khalili, a physicist at the University of Surrey, warned that progress in artificial intelligence is 'happening too fast' and is not being regulated well enough.
He said that AI will make Britain increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks and lead to greater inequality as thousands are rendered unemployed.
Artificial intelligence poses a greater challege to the world than terrorism, the incoming president of the British Science Association (pictured) has warned
At a briefing in London ahead of the British Science Festival in Hull this week, he said: 'Until maybe a couple of years ago had I been asked what is the most pressing and important conversation we should be having about our future, I might have said climate change or one of the other big challenges facing humanity, such as terrorism, antimicrobial resistance, the threat of pandemics or world poverty.
'But today I am certain the most important conversation we should be having is about the future of AI. It will dominate what happens with all of these other issues for better or for worse.
'If Russian cyber hackers were able to meddle with the 2016 US elections, then what is stopping cyber terrorists from hacking into any future AI controlled power grids, transport systems, banks of military installations.
'Our government has a responsibility to protect society from potential threats and risks.'
He added: 'Many people are becoming increasingly nervous about what they see as unchecked progress in AI.
'There are valid concerns about the widespread implementation of AI leading to an increase in inequality. Robotics and autonomous systems are predicted to bring about job losses, primarily affecting workers in low-skilled roles, and there is still little research on how the future effects of automation might vary across the UK.
Humanoid Robot Sophia is seen during the Discovery exhibition on April 30, 2018 in Toronto, Canada
'We are now seeing an unprecedented level of interest, investment and technological progress in the field, which many people, including myself, feel is happening too fast.'
Al-Khalili also warned week that without greater transparency and public engagement the full potential of AI may not be realised.
Artificial Intelligence promises an even bigger revolution than the internet yet could be stifled in the UK by a fear-driven public backlash.
In the absence of concerted action by academics, the Government and industry, the rapidly advancing technology could end up 'uncontrolled and unregulated' in the hands of a few supremely powerful companies, he said.
Previewing his presidential address at this year's British Science Festival in Hull, which begins this week, Prof Al-Khalili spoke of the dream and dangers of AI.
He pointed out that the UK was at the forefront of the technology, which is predicted to contribute up to $15trillion (£11.7 trillion) to the global economy by 2030.
Theoretical physicist, author and broadcaster Professor Jim Al-Khalili
But there was a risk of AI going the same way as GM (genetic modification) and being seen as frightening and sinister by members of the public and a 'poison chalice' by politicians.
Prof Al-Khalili said: 'There's a real danger of a public backlash against AI potentially similar to the one we had with GM back in the early days of the millennium.
'If the public become disengaged our leaders will see it as less of a priority. Regulations will need to be in place and they may come too late.
He wants to see AI included in the school curriculum, even though that would be like 'shifting a giant tanker in the middle of the ocean', and the focus of myth-dispelling public education programmes.
While AI was often seen as science fiction, it was already becoming part of daily life, Al-Khalili said.
AI manifested itself in virtual assistants such as Siri and Alexa, as well as the 'almost psychic awareness' of Google, Facebook and Amazon.
In future, the technology could completely reshape society.
'AI is going to transform our lives in the coming decades even more than the internet has over the last few decades,' said Prof Al-Khalili. 'Let's make sure we're ready for it.'
Prof Al-Khalili's new documentary 'The Joy of AI' was launched on Tuesday, September 4, on BBC4.
