I do not actually have an attention downside. I just take the pill after I have to be sharp". Legal drugs akin to Ritalin, used for treating consideration deficit dysfunction, are more and more being repurposed by wholesome students to feel sharper on exam day.
Oh I know I will most likely get a number of hate responses to this publish. But, as I see it, it's the cold laborious actuality.

Suggested activities with progress indicator and easy click to entry. Shows just lately completed exercise and rewards earned. They go by state aproved checks to measure progress, and the system has turned to educating a take a look at, not instructing how. Hi, Peg.

It might be argued that some paraplegics and quadriplegics are already able to stroll and climb stairs by exoskeletal robotic gadgets, at least experimentally; the actual query is how common this can be by 2020.

Brian and Dan (and Ramsey and Desmos)
Two great pieces you ought not miss from the last 48 hours:
1) The always wonderful Brian Hayes with a delightful post on Ramsey Theory:
Brian works/writes over at American Scientist in addition to his personal blog above (and is also a Scientific American alum). He's such a clever, insightful writer I can't help but think he could've been a fine successor to Martin Gardner over at SA (where he did briefly do a similar computer science column). Anyway, much more of his writing linked to at this page:
2) Secondly, a fairly glowing (and well-deserved) New Republic piece on Dan Meyer and his approach to teaching mathematics. Dan (and his work with Desmos) will need no introduction to any secondary math teacher in America who is active on the Web, but whether you do or don't know of him read up:

When we say We need to be more secure in cyberland, does that mean small business needs to change what they do to be more secure?
ISACA says we need governance:
Governance and management for Enterprise business should use the COBIT 5 principles
- Principle 1: Meet stakeholder needs
- Principle 2: Covering the enterprise from end-to-end
- Principle 3: Applying single integrated framework
- Principle 4: Enabling a holistic approach
- Principle 5: Separating governance from management
The COBIT framework 'simplified' means for the business to drive "cybersecurity". I.e. if you need to sell widgets on the Internet you have to have cybersecurity on the Internet with credit card processing then that is what you have to say: " We have to protect our systems to sell our products and stay in business".
The conversation cannot start with " I need security more than sales" because we know how that conversation ends. In fact the Cybersecurity person needs to say we facilitate sales, and make sure they are done safely. We take care of government compliance.
Besides some good sound bites, the hard work of creating a truly secure organization is to set up a framework of weighing risks versus threats and impact.
A methodology must be used instead of just telling your IT department "keep us as secure as possible" ok?
What consistent methods do we need to operate to make Cybersecurity for companies work effectively for the stakeholder?
I listed the 5 principles of COBIT, and one of the most important piece of one of the principles is to assess risk (likelihood * impact) for each computer and IT device in your company.
An Audit has to be performed where all the pieces of the network and computer systems for the business needs are cataloged and rated for importance and weaknesses.
Once this inventory has been created a Risk analysis with expenditure of money has to be accumulated and reviewed with the stakeholders.
The process of reporting is also important, how to report and whom to report to.
Principle 5: separating governance from management has it's reasons. The IT department must be overseen and directed by a governing body. If you want to discover these details get an audit from an ISACA Auditor and get on the path to become more secure within your business needs and requirements.

Dvorák's Messe in D for SATB.
With its traditional forms and proven compositional models, its original ideas, which are sometimes marked by a folk- or folksong-like melodic character, and with its harmonic richness, Dvorák's D major Mass serves in its liturgical context to express the worship of God. The Mass is characterized by lyrical meditation rather than by dramatic immediacy.

Do you all want to know something interesting?
All A-level results students this year will be marked, then anyone without results of ABB will have them downgraded by 1 grade (so a B will be a C for instance).
This is more important that Robert Webb hating women, right? (haven't read the thread)
I don't understand
If you get BBB they turn it into CCC?
And ABC becomes BCD?
As the exam boards and government didnt want another OMG EVERY1 GOT 35 A* HELL IN A HANDCART stories running again.
But surely then the government would be hit by
'A-level results plummet' and it would make it look like their policies are failing.
Struggling to buy this tbh.
The tories have a skewed view of the world
Suprised you hadnt noticed before. Remember though, ABB students will NOT be downgraded, and whhich strata of life do you think the majority of these students come from?
I get that bit
But it's not really about the Tories view it. It's about how the press will view it, and the PR implications of A-level results falling sharply when big changes have been made to the education system.
The majority of people
Dont want to think that youngsters are better than them, so will gain some weird satisfaction from them failing. Just like benefits 'scroungers' being run into the ground
I can see that on a personal level, people enjoying that
but I still don't think it reflects well on the DofE, whatever your perspective. Unless sections of the public want them to actively make children fail, so they feel better about themselves. Wouldn't surprise me if there are people that toxic out there to be honest.
Just seen it's not true
I'm in complete agreement
but after years of TESTS ARE TOO EASY stories, would any of them be stupid enough to run a EVERYONES FAILING NOW article and make themselves look like morons? Dunno
They wouldn't look like morons
Unlike politicians, they can say whatever they want with the benefit of hindsight, and nobody takes them to task over it. They'll print the story that sells the most papers.
My feeling is this:
It's no longer correct that exam results should be a bell curve. Obviously there is a distribution that should be in play. But equally, Ofsted has meant more and more schools are simply teaching kids how to pass their exams, which is why older people are meeting these new kids and feeling like they have As but none of the intelligence they expect.
The fact is that everyone CAN get an A. That's the nature of asking a series of questions with a correct answer to a series of people who've been taught how to answer correctly. The bell curve only works when you have to teach a huge spectrum of stuff where some of that may come up in an exam.
Obviously the curve is there to help those who have a bad day or an exam that is badly done giving low grades. It's problematic.
Agree with your general feeling
Employers are well aware of the 'taught to pass' culture, and have less faith in academic achievements as an indicator of ability.
- japes and umlaut_ampersand this'd this
Obviously loathe to link to daily mail (which is the only one running it from a quick search)
Oh dear, tried to check the date urgh
We were taken into a big room today and told to take this into account when confirming students for the university I work at if it goes ahead. Thats the only evidence Ive got, soz
there's no way that can be true? that's fucking madness
Grades are all arbritrary anyway.
They don't test how good a person you are, maaaaan.
tru dat
Look where you ended up for instance!
Only joking :)
(Dont ban me)
i thought that kind of thing happened already?
if the scores average that everyone got an A, for example, then the test was too easy, so the score mark is shifted to mediate for this? so you culd get a B with a mark that would have scored an A?
you have two marks: 'raw' (which is the score you actually get) and UMS - the second is what the grade is based on
UMS mark is calculated using some complex algorithm based on your score, everyone elses score, previous scores in the same exam, number of people taking that paper etc.
as far as i understand, the UMS algorithm is designed so that the scores closely approximate a bell curve around a C
i presume that the daily mail scare story is them misunderstanding this, but it might not bejustanothersheeldz this'd this
This is something that happens
(though you understand it better than me) but this is a straight downgrading across the board apart from the top 10% or so.
actually that sort of sounds 'criminal'
if it is true then I will be expecting prosecutions against individuals.
Fix the education system, cheers.

A few years ago—the internet tells me it was 2010—the Field Museum in Chicago put on a climate change exhibit. This was at the start of my career transition, and in fact I had just stopped working onva tenure portfolio in favor of a psychology-of-sustainability Twitter feed, so I was pretty excited to go. (Hint to people thinking about leaving academia: Twitter is a lot more fun than a tenure portfolio.)
The Field is the best museum I know for telling stories, and I wanted to see how they handled such a complicated topic. I'd been immersed in science communication literature, and as I was walking through I thought they did a pretty good job. They emphasized the known science, but also discussed the real areas of uncertainty. They had hands-on demos showing how climate change would affect local ecosystems. They had lots of sections on both large-scale and personal solutions—things you could do better, things you could fight for society to do better. The exhibit ended with an entire room devoted to comparing renewable energy sources. I always want to see more talk about solutions, so this made me pretty happy. I came out of the exhibit feeling energized and ready to tweet about what a great job they'd done.
Not so, my companions. My wife and a visiting friend—ecologically-minded people who recycle and eat locally, and who bought CFCs before they were cool—both found the exhibit incredibly depressing. They felt like nothing they could do would make a difference, and any resources they needed to survive were too many. They felt helpless. And I, immersed in the climate communication research, had no idea what to say or do.
I've seen the figures, and I firmly believe that the needed change is possible—that working together as a society, we can create carbon-neutral communities with a high quality of life. That sustainability doesn't have to be Spartan. That everyone has something meaningful to contribute to the solutions. That the fact that I gave up my car (and my nightmare commute) and quit my job (for a better one) to focus on environmental issues doesn't need to be a model for everyone else—that it's okay that some people are sustainability professionals, and some people are librarians who just try to live lightly on the earth.
And yet, among my friends and family, only the sustainability professionals seem optimistic. Correlation? Causation in either direction? People shouldn't need to devote themselves to environmental change full-time in order to feel empowered to act.
I still don't know the answer to this one. It's a reminder that the psychology research doesn't always give the full story, and sometimes doesn't get you anywhere close to the message you want to share. By the book communication is no guarantee—I think if it were, climate messages would have gotten a lot further than they have.
This is one of the open, urgent questions. There are many people out there who know that climate change exists, and want to stop it, but feel helpless and overwhelmed whenever it comes up. They have enormous, largely unused potential to make a real difference. How can we talk about climate change in a way that empowers them?

(FYI -- I'm too lazy this morning to find a picture of the book...Need...more...coffee...)
It starts off with a BANG. A right there, in-your-face, fairly immediate BANG.
And then the smoke clears. And just as Kevin Parson, the protagonist of our story, stares at the charred wreckage that is his car, I read for 200 pages, wondering when the next BANG would occur.
Turns out it really didn't happen again until the end.
Ted Dekker's Three did have one heck of a twist in its ending. Dekker brought everything together very neatly – especially considering the shock that comes during those last few pages. But the pages between the first 50 and the last 50seem stretched.
It took me 200 pages to actually "get in" the story. Not because Dekker did not weave wonderful descriptions or stall the story. I just didn't care about the characters. Kevin is too confused (as was I). Samantha, his childhood friend, is too much of the type to go in with guns blazing. And Jennifer…except for feeling sympathetic for her brother being murdered, I didn't feel much of anything for her. She was a character with a lack of personality. Which, as you find out, is actually ironic.
The plot moved along a little slowly for me, even though each time a BANG occurred, it no doubt was a big one – but they seemed too few and far between for my tastes, though others probably would disagree with me.
I did like the book, believe it or not. During the end battle with Slater and Kevin, I could not put it down. I wanted to know everything – I wanted all the secrets to be revealed, which, to my happiness, they were (well, all minus one, which I think needs to be made into a sequel…Maybe Four?). It's quite an unusual story with enough twists and turns to keep me thoroughly entertained, but, as I mentioned before, it was hard for me to really feel the characters.
This might not be a book that I pick up and read again and again for fun, but, if you are enthralled by it, I have no doubt you'll read it many times to pick up on secrets you did not recognize during the first go-around.
It's a fun read, even late at night (no nightmares here). It's not really a "beachy" book, for those of you getting ready to go on vacation, but more of a book to read after the kids are in bed and you have a cup of hot tea and a nice blanket wrapped around you. Enjoy.

I liked this book, mostly because I didn't figure it out until the very end and I love that about a book.
I have always been a Ted Dekker fan until he wrote Showdown and the ones there after.....way too dark for me now.

You make this book sound very intriguing. Maybe I have to join all you Dekker fans out there... It's a new genre for me, but I'm open to jumping in and giving it a shot. Thanks for the review!

Greetings from Uber
I'm not sure why email from recruiters annoys me so much. Maybe its the fact I'm as white as a white guy can get. I'm really the last person the recruiter should be contacting.
Recently I received the following from Uber:
Hi Jeff!
My name is [REDACTED] and I work directly with the Expansion engineering team here at Uber's HQ. I came across your background and wanted to personally touch base with you about an opportunity here in Uber Engineering- we're always looking for great engineers.
Now while I'm not assuming you're open to making a move from [REDACTED], I figured it wouldn't hurt to send a quick note. Our team is working on some awesome challenges and I think your background in iOS development is just the kind of experience we're looking for. Here are some interesting things we're working on, just to name a few:
- Make every business trip an Uber trip (Uber for Business Team)
- Open our API to ALL developers, giving them the ability to build and be creative (Uber API Team)
- Create new partnerships with other engineering teams, look at our partnership with Facebook (BD API Team)
- Use the radio…to Uber's advantage, here is one example- Spotify your Uber (Uber for Music Team)
If you're interested in learning more about our team or hearing about other challenges we're tackling- I'd love to have a short introductory chat.
Are you available sometime this week or next week for a brief 5-10 minute conversation?
Cheers! [REDACTED]
The recruiter got a slight variation of my usual response:
[REDACTED], thanks so much for your interest, however, I wasn't able to find a link to your diversity report on your web site. As you probably guessed from having done your homework on me, I'm just another white man. Unless you're doing much better than average in the technology industry, you shouldn't even be talking to me.
Frankly, I can't help but feel Uber isn't taking the issue of sexual assault by it's drivers seriously enough. So perhaps you're tackling the wrong problems?
Thanks again for your interest, but Uber definitely isn't right for me.
I left out the issue of whether Uber drivers should be classified as employees or not, because I'm definitely not qualified to express an opinion on that. I know the State of California believes so. I believe they should ethically be treated as employees. But, that's really not something I know enough about.
If you're a recruiter and you want me to speak with you, the introductory email should lead with your diversity numbers and they must be impressive. But really, wouldn't you be better off with someone else?

Feathered Friends Back in Town
Despite the recent unseasonably cool temperatures across Newport County, nature is displaying signs that better days are on the way. Local bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts are reporting an uptick in the numbers of migratory birds moving into the area. Sightings of wading birds such as Great Egrets and Snowy Egrets, as well as shorebird species including Piping Plovers, Killdeers, and Greater Yellowlegs, are being recorded daily.
At Toppa Field, the male Osprey from the pair that nests on the cell tower has arrived and is patiently waiting for his mate. This impressive raptor only leaves the nest to fish and quickly returns to eat his meal.
Piping Plovers have been observed foraging along the shoreline at Middletown's Third and Sachuest beaches. Last spring witnessed two pairs nesting in the rocky and sandy habitats. The pair that nested at Sachuest Beach produced four eggs that hatched in early June. Despite repeated intrusions by beachgoers and attacks by predators, the pair nurtured and protected three surviving chicks to juvenile status. The avian family departed the beach in late July. The pair that nested at Third Beach was not as lucky and their eggs fell victims to predators, most likely crows.
The Piping Plover population saw a drastic decline in population beginning in the late 1940s due to increased shoreline development and the escalation of human activity along beachfronts. Approximately 30 years ago, the species was on the brink of extinction when it was declared endangered. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was tasked with the protection of the Piping Plover and its remaining habitats. Locally, a program was begun that included monitoring of potential nesting areas by USFWS staff and volunteers. To date the program has shown great success in the protection of the shorebirds and the education of the public in how to avoid intrusions into these critical areas.
The adult Piping Plover is 7.25 inches long and has a wingspan of 19 inches. The birds display a sandy gray plumage above and white below, blending in well with beach colors. Breeding adults have a black-tipped orange bill, pale face with a black "eyebrow" between the eyes, orange-yellow legs, and a black neck ring that may be partial in males.
The female will scratch out a nesting site in the sand and rocky habitat, and lay her eggs on the sand with an incubation lasting 28-30 days. The chicks hatch precocial, meaning that they are able to stand and move about within minutes, and the chicks accompany adults to the water's edge to forage. At this early stage, the chicks are very pale gray with yellow legs, about the size of a cotton ball, and can be easily stepped on by beachgoers. If the chicks are disturbed, they will not feed and their chances for survival are slim.
The Rhode Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex will conduct training for volunteer monitors on Saturday, April 18, at 10:30 a.m. at the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in Middletown. For further information, contact Sarah Griffith at sarah_ email@example.com or 401-847-5511 or 401-364-9124.
A note for local birders and wildlife enthusiasts: The National Audubon Society in partnership with the Bahamas National Trust and the Virginia Tech Shorebird Program began a Piping Plover bird banding program last year. A number of Piping Plovers that winter in the Bahamas have been banded with a pink flag leg band that is engraved with a two character code. These organizations are asking anyone observing and recording these numbers to report them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Jack Kelly, a native Newporter, is a wildlife photographer and nature enthusiast who enjoys sharing his experiences with others.

Vehicle Description
A concept that boasts plenty of space for hobbies, leisure and sport. But no room for compromise. Compact, concentrated and intensive, but still powerful. Practical, but never ordinary. All Macan models were developed, tested and built in keeping with the Porsche philosophy. That's where we take sporty style and performance from the racetrack and inject it into everyday driving. We make it as efficient as possible -- and, of course, just as safe and comfortable. No efforts were spared until our engineers achieved their overriding development objective: the first sports car among compact SUVs.Impressively, the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine delivers a power output of 360 hp. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph is completed in a mere 5.0 seconds. Top speed is 159 mph. Those aren't simply bare numbers, but a compelling statement in terms of performance -- and efficiency. The V6 twin-turbo engines are equipped with two turbochargers arranged in parallel -- one for each cylinder bank. Intake air is compressed and then fed to the engine via the respective charge-air cooler. This cooling process achieves two things: high cylinder charge and low component temperatures.Sport tailpipes are available for your Macan on request. The twin dual-tube tailpipes are specially designed and feature a highly polished chrome-plated stainless-steel finish, also available in chrome-plated black. A sporty statement that is visually unmistakable. The sport exhaust system delivers an even more resonant sound. The sport tailpipes in chrome-plated stainless steel -- available in a choice of silver color or black -- are a treat for both the eyes and the ears.The principle of PDK is that, whenever a particular gear is engaged, the next gear is already preselected. As a result, gear changes take place within milliseconds. Automatic mode is optimized for fuel economy. This means that PDK is able to offer not only a sporty, agile driving feel, but also increased efficiency. Would you rather change gear manually? You can do this using the two gearshift paddles on the multifunction sport steering wheel, fitted as standard, or using the PDK gear selector. In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the shift times of PDK become even shorter, the gear changes even sportier. Additional gearshift strategies are also available -- for uncompromising driving pleasure.The tremendous dynamic performance of the new Macan is thanks in part to the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) active all-wheel drive system. It comprises an electronic and map-controlled multi-plate clutch, the automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR). The electronically controlled multiplate clutch regulates the distribution of drive force between the rear axle and the front axle. Driving conditions are constantly monitored to enable a precise and lightning-quick response to a variety of situations.This Macan GTS has the following options:4D3 Seat Ventilation (Front)5TH Brushed Aluminum Interior Package in Black7UG Navigation Module for Porsche Communication Management (PCM)7Y3 Lane Keep Assist (LKA) i.c.w.

Calgary, AB – Just as Kleos is focused on long term sustainability, creating programming that not only works for the people but also works for the community as a whole, the same goal is applied to the other end – the donors who support our activities. Individuals who are generous enough to donate to Kleos know that their funds are delivered directly to those they are trying to help and not eaten up by administrative fees or organizational costs. Last year, Kleos took a big step in reaching this goal, with the total amount of programming dollars approaching the actual dollars spent in the region!
This is accomplished though multiple ways:
- A volunteer based organization in Canada
- The ability to fund programs without additional monetary input, through recycled loan repayments
- Minimal overhead through direct connection with Kleos members
- The ability to support the costs of Kleos overseas operations through minimal interest charges paid by members
- Alternative non-monetary finding programs, such as the Kleos' Beyond Miles campaign through Aeroplan
Today, the last item is our focus, as Kleos has an active campaign running this month. On average, travel costs associated with flights to the Kleos satellite offices reach and can exceed $2000. With the average Kleos loan under $100, one flight purchased by Kleos staff is the equivalent of up to 22 women who Kleos would no longer be able to fund this year. Additionally, as with all Kleos programming that recycles and pays forward, it means countless more could no longer access transformative Kleos loans.
To date, more than 200,000 miles have been donated to Kleos campaigns in the past three years, meaning $4000 went directly to programming that otherwise would have fallen to travel costs. This year, we aim to raise another 100,000 miles, of which we have already received 11,000. If you wish to contribute, you can do so on the image. And if you do, please send us a message and let us know!

The main purpose of this blog is to provide anyone who is considering planning a trip on the Swiss Railways to share in my experiences. I could have done it more cheaply, but I was determined to organise the whole thing myself. Partly because I wanted to set my own itinerary and partly because I wanted to travel independently, rather than feeling hassled and hustled. OK, it took a bit more effort, but planning the trip was, for me, as interesting and exciting as actually doing it. I hope my ramblings (in both senses) are of help to you. If you have any questions which have not been answered or suggestions as to what could be added, then please leave a comment.Ever since I can remember I have wanted to travel on the Swiss railway network. This year, for various reasons, I decided to fulfil this ambition. Apart from a car trip through Switzerland a few years ago, I knew nothing about the Swiss railway system. So my first enquiry led me to the Swiss Travel System website and their map of the system:
Five airports are shown on the map - Basle, Zurich, Geneva, Lugano and Bern. Looking at the rail network, Geneva looked like a promising start and end point. From here, I plotted a route which would last approximately eight days and started looking for hotels. It was at this point I started looking also at air fares. None of the airports appeared to be destinations for cheap flights from Liverpool or Manchester, so I looked for an alternative - for example, travelling by train or flying to another airport and catching a train to Geneva.
The RyanAir service map made me realise that one of its destinations, Milan (Bergamo) is quite close to Lugano, the southernmost point of the Swiss rail network. Furthemore, looking again at the map of the railway network, using Lugano as the start and end point was going to be far more effective than using Geneva.
Consequently, a new route was determined:
The route
Day 1 - Milan - Lugano - Goschenen - Andermatt - Chur
(This includes the St Gotthard tunnel and part of the Glacier Express route)
Day 2 - Chur - Tirano - Lugano
(The Bernina Express)
Day 3 - Lugano - Locarno
(An easy day - with an opportunity to visit Swiss Miniatur )
Day 4 - Locarno - Spiez - Interlaken
(The Centovalli Line and Simplon Tunnel)
Day 5 - The Jungfrau
(The Jungfraubahn)
Day 6 - Interlaken - Lucerne
(Part of the Golden Pass Line)
Day 7 - Lucerne - Lugano
(The William Tell Express)
Day 8 - Lugano - Milan
With the route finalised, the hotels and trains were booked.
Booking Hotels and Trains
Booking the hotels, hostels and guest houses was a relatively straightforward process using the internet and was accomplished in a couple of evenings. To keep costs down we booked into cheapish rooms (around £60 per room per night - 2007 prices). It remains to be seen what they are like.
Buying the Swiss Rail Pass was accomplished easily online through the Swiss Travel Centre. As this was going to be a once in a lifetime experience we decided to travel first class which at £205 each for eight days (you get 15% discount for two) seemed like a bargain (and cheaper than a first class return ticket from Crewe to London!).
Named trains in Switzerland need to be booked in advance. A phone call to the Swiss Travel Centre in London quickly solved this - I was even able to book a meal on the Glacier Express and return tickets from Milan to Lugano on the Italian Railway system.
The trip begins on 18th July. Watch this space!

Some Earring History
23 Feb
Who would have thought there is so much history behind a simple pair of earrings? But, of course, most jewelry fanatics know how important earrings are for a total look. It seems the Egyptians and Romans agreed.
From "All You Ever Wanted To Know About Earrings But Were Afraid to Ask" written by John Lewis of Love2Have and Earrings UK.
"The oldest earrings ever found by archaeologists were discovered in royal graves in Iraq and date back to around 2500 BC. Gold, silver and bronze hoop earrings have also been found dating back to 2000 BC in Crete. [...]
In the 2nd century during the Roman Empire, earrings became a popular way for rich women to show off their wealth and the use of precious gemstones in the jewellery also became more popular."

Messy fingerprint perspective
25 comments:
- AnonymousNovember 8, 2011 at 7:26 AM
When I was visiting my parents one time I decided I would do some clean up from my kids before we left. As I took the spray bottle of windex to the glass table in the living room, my mom stopped me and said, "No!! I love seeing those fingerprints after you've gone!" Now I know my mom and they didn't last long there, but it was a reminder that there will come a day when my house stays clean all the time and I will miss having little ones at home with me!ReplyDelete
very well said! and it is so hard sometimes to just remember that without all the mess or lack of sleep we wouldn't have our babes...and with them we are soo blessed!!!! I needed to read this before we went to the doctor's office and pharmacy yesterday, HA!ReplyDelete
good perspective! you're right life wouldn't be the same. I need to remember in my moments of exhaustion and frustration w/ all the finger prints that are left behind by my girls that they are gifts and without them my home/life would be so empty.ReplyDelete
That is so precious!! I pray that one day my future husband has that positive outlook with our kids and doesn't mind toys everywhere because he's just thankful we have a healthy child... that is so perfect! Huge Kudos to your hubby! I would be like you though... dirt, grime, nastiness everywhere... I'd want to get irritated and I'd have to remember that same statement! I'm a little OCD, so I understand!ReplyDelete
Awww...so sweet. I think of this every time I wipe down our bar stools and they are milk splatter free for all of 5 seconds. It makes me sad. Somehow, they look better with food and milk splattered all over them. ;)ReplyDelete
Aww, I love this! So sweet, and such a wonderful perspective to keep in mind!ReplyDelete
(I almost hit publish comment on this a second ago, but then realized I had accidentally typed 's's instead of 'w's for that "Aww" up there! For the record, if I EVER call you an ass, it will be TOTALLY UNINTENTIONAL! Somebody needs to take my laptop away until I learn to type better!)
very, very well said. isn't it amazing how these guys can come home and just shed a brand new perspective on something? mr. p has a way of doing that too. thank goodness for new perspective.ReplyDelete
Beatiful post.ReplyDelete
Love this. The neat freak in me has a hard time with all the toddler messes too but then Sunday J & I were sitting on the couch while KP napped and I said, "imagine if this is how it always was". Silent, boring, uninteresting...and the list goes on. These little people, while trying at times, are amazing little gifts. Messes and all.ReplyDelete
I was JUST thinking about this last night! In the place we're at now, in our bedroom we have a whole wall of mirrors (Hello 1990...), and I saw a finger print on it I left the other day, and I was thinking how annoying it was goign to be to have to clean off fingerprints from the mirrors once Theodore starts crawling/walking. But then I started thinking about how much I can't wait for that because it's goign to be so much fun to have an interactive baby. :) Even with messes and all! :)ReplyDelete
I posted a very similar post a few weeks back. My front door is always covered with finger prints (and nose prints). But...these days too shall pass...so just embrace them! Embrace the mess! ;)ReplyDelete
Just what I needed to read today. Perfection!ReplyDelete
awwwwwww!! that is so sweet!ReplyDelete
clara hasn't had an opportunity to eat outside of her highchair yet (so we don't have food-prints), but our house still looks like a hurricane came through every day! great perspective y'all have :)
I'm grateful for the fingerprints too. I just wish there weren't SO many of them sometimes. ;)ReplyDelete
Such a sweet post, Katie.
I have to remind myself of this, too. And with the demands of a newborn, I don't have much of a choice! The chores will always be there!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love this post! I too, am trying to see things that way- not from a "holy crap I just cleaned that" but more a "that's kind of cute even if it means I'll be cleaning it later"- my husband is helping me to see that different perspective too- you must have a great husband- and you have a beautiful daughter! :)ReplyDelete
Such a sweet post! And a wonderful perspective on all the messy things that come with having a toddler.ReplyDelete
great reminder! it's easy to get annoyed at the mess...in fact, five minutes ago i was fuming about applesauce all over my kitchen. you're right- it would be empty without the mess.ReplyDelete
This is perfect. It's so easy to get frustrated, especially when Noah grabs the bag of tortilla chips and proceeds to dump the entire contents on the livingroom floor. But then I realize that a clean place means no Noah running around. And one day, way down the road, I'm going to miss it. At least this perspective helps me clean it up with a smile. :)ReplyDelete
Just another reason to learn to love all those messes left behind! Great post! :)ReplyDelete

"We're so lucky to have such a beautiful, healthy baby."ReplyDelete
Words I say to myself EVERY SINGLE DAY. This little baby of ours is pretty high-needs, and if I don't keep perspective, I start to lose my patience. 90% of the time, she's an angel. But the 10% where she's not?
Great perspective! All I needed was to read this, now mine has changed too. Thank you :)ReplyDelete
That's a great perspective that you guys have. Thank god for healthy babies. :)ReplyDelete
*sigh* I love kid fingerprints. They're just such a testament to life.
Good to remember!ReplyDelete
The fingerprints never bothered me.. it the crusted food I find! :)

Northridge sixth-graders took a virtual tour Thursday to conclude a study of ancient Egypt.
Northridge sixth-graders took a virtual tour Thursday to conclude a study of ancient Egypt.
About 122 students rotated through six stations to play an Egyptian board game, make a 3-D sarcophagus, color decorated collars and cuffs, create a calendar wheel and tour the tombs of Egypt via the Internet.
History teacher Barb Van Fossen said students spent the past six weeks studying Egypt, and Thursday's activities culminated the unit.
Van Fossen's room was the base for cutting out a mummy, then decorating a paper coffin with crayon rubbings and beads.
In another classroom, students made decorative collars and cuffs replicating those worn by ancient Egyptians.
Special education teacher Suzanne Brungart, who wore a jeweled cloth collar, said previous classes have designed their own collars.
"One year we made them out of fabric," she said. "We've tried all kinds of things."
In her reading classes, Brungart's students read novels related to Egypt.
"We read short stories with questions about the Egyptian gods," she said.
Teacher Brian Blume helped students make a three-dimensional sarcophagus, while Rachale Ashbrook supervised students taking virtual tours of tombs in Egypt.
"Move your mouse to see the sights," she instructed her students, who were engaged on desktop computers.
The students also tested their knowledge about Egypt by taking a short computer quiz.
Science teacher Jordan Burnworth helped students play a board game called Senet.
"Back in Egypt, board games were very popular," he said. "One of the most popular was a game called Senet. King Tut had four games buried with him. The games were made of fine ivory."
Students paired off to play Senet, using a cardboard game table, button and penny game pieces.
Reading teacher Lisa Smith helped students make calendar wheels that illustrated three seasons: the Akhet, July through October, for the time of the flood; Peret, November through February, when fields reappear; and Shemu, March through June, when fields are dry.
"This is a nice culminating event," Smith said. "We've had little novel book clubs that had to do with Egypt. Having cross curriculum helps kids hear it more than once. They remember what we do today."
Shelby Hickey said she enjoyed learning about King Tut and the pyramids.
"I also liked learning about their jewelry," she said. "The pyramids were cool. The first pyramid had steps; they weren't flat."
Hunter Adkins, enveloped in a sheet for a costume, said she also enjoyed learning about the pyramids.
"It was exciting to learn about mummification - how they wrap and do all that," she added.
Clayton Nicks learned that Egypt is desert, with some fertile land.
"I learned upper Egypt is in the south and lower Egypt is in the north," he said.
"The Nile River flows south to north," Austin Makovi explained, "and it's over 4,000 miles long."
The Nile is not only long, but Lukas Lowder noted it has steep rapids.
Van Fossen said the sixth-graders would shift their focus on Friday, but not far. They'll be studying the Middle East.

Photographer Chino Otsuka has revisited her childhood memories, by inserting an image of her present-day self into a collection of candid photos from her youth. Rather than emulating her younger self, Otsuka creates photographs that feature herself posing alongside the child she once was, as if they were hanging out and passing the time together. Through her series, entitled, 'Imagine Finding Me,' Otsuka has found a clever way to "time travel," thereby re-creating charming images from her own history.
What if you could revisit your childhood, or tell your child-self secrets you'd learned as the years passed? This is what Otsuka imagined when creating the images in her 'Imagine Finding Me' series. In the digitally collaged photos, the artist often stands alongside her younger self, appearing almost as a chaperone looking out for the kid version of her. Little and adult Otsuka pose with luggage in front of a train, recline in a hotel bed, walk along the beach in summer and make muddy snow men in winter. Her photographs look back at family vacations to Paris and Beijing, as well as more personal photographs in front of her childhood home.
Since the early photographs were commercially processed and yellowed, Otsuka matches the same faded quality for her modern image that she has inserted. Together, they look seamless, and as if her adult self was really present in the original photograph. From a toddler to an awkward tween, Otsuka has revisited her life, and proudly stands side by side with the little girl she once was, resulting in the ultimate double-take.

I have to start by saying I love the title of your book. It raises all sorts of questions in my mind. Was that part of the inspiration of the story or was it something you had to arrive at after a lot of hard work?
On the first question: Oh my. Titles. This title is the culmination of a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears. Okay, that's not entirely true. Neither blood nor sweat, just tears - mine specifically. This book was originally called The Boy Without A Face, then Jack Be Quick, then The Curious Face in the Cornfield, then Uprooted, then the House at the Far Edge of Town, then the A Child of Earth and Magic, then... oh lord, I can hardly remember.
The thing is, I typically don't have a problem naming pieces. The title usually comes when I've untangled the first knot of text and the beating heart of the story is just starting to assert itself. This time, not so much. I was stymied from the beginning. I asked my kids their opinions, my agent, my agent's assistant, every editor I've ever heard of. I asked my students, my Sunday School kids, kids on the block, kids at the park.
But that's the thing when you have a title that doesn't work - no amount of wanting it to be right will make it right. So I was bound to ...

Letter to the Editor
Detection of abundant solid CO in the disk around CRBR 2422.8-3423 *
Department of Physics and Astronomy, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK
2 Leiden Observatory, PO Box 9513, 2300 RA, Leiden, The Netherlands
3 Astrochimie Expérimentale, Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale, Université Paris-Sud, Bât. 121, 91405 Orsay, France
Corresponding author: W. F. Thi, email@example.com
Accepted: 17 September 2002
We present direct evidence for CO freeze-out in a circumstellar disk around the edge-on class I object CRBR 2422.8-3423, observed in the M band with VLT-ISAAC at a resolving power . The spectrum shows strong solid CO absorption, with a lower limit on the column density of cm-2. The solid CO column is the highest observed so far, including high-mass protostars and background field stars. Absorption by foreground cloud material likely accounts for only a small fraction of the total solid CO, based on the weakness of solid CO absorption toward nearby sources and the absence of gaseous C18O emission 30´´ south. Gas-phase ro-vibrational CO absorption lines are also detected with a mean temperature of K. The average gas/solid CO ratio is ~1 along the line of sight. For an estimated inclination of 20°, the solid CO absorption originates mostly in the cold, shielded outer part of the flaring disk, consistent with the predominance of apolar solid CO in the spectrum and the non-detection of solid OCN-, an indicator of thermal/ultraviolet processing of the ice mantle. By contrast, the warm gaseous CO likely originates closer to the star.

Dear Nafsika,
It's been 2 month since we last talked on the phone. How are you doing? Is school still the same as it was when I left it? Here things are going well,but I miss you all very much. So,I'm writing to you to tell you about an animated movie I watched last Saturday that I thought you might enjoy. It's called "Robots" and was created by…… Actors performing the characters' voices are Halle Berry and Tom Cruise.
Imagine a world where, instead of humans, there are robots. In this robot world, we see how an 18 year old ambitious inventor decides to see the big lights and go to the capital city to follow his dream. Going there might seem very easy for the young robot but for the first time in his life he realises that world is not a peaceful place.I don't want to spoil it for you so just watch it,it's very interesting.
I liked it very much. Even though it was animated, it had a deeper meaning. Watching it I realised that you have to follow your dreams even if it's very hard and that you should never stop believing in yourself and your abilities. The music was very well suited and the acting was very good as well. Also the animation was amazing; I mean, robots really seemed like real humans. The scene I loved was the one where the baby is born in the beginning and the other one where the main character uses transportation. You'll understand what I'm talking about when you watch it.
So I totally recommend you to watch it because you'll have fun. Actually your brother can watch it too. When you have time please call me. I look forward!

Alternative power
In the past few years, an active work is underway, aimed at reducing natural gas consumption of local fuels. Thus, 395 boiler rooms of budget and utilities sectors were switched, in general, since 2010, the dynamics of their increase over the past three and a half years you can see in the presented chart. 365 boiler rooms are belonging to the public sector, 30 boiler rooms are belonging to the heating companies.
Industry is not far behind in this area. Examples of positive use of alternative fuels for output of heat is boiler room on the sunflower husk PJSC "Vinnitsa Oil and Fat Plant", it is the boiler room that runs on the waste of woodworking industry of "Barlinek", and also the dryers of grain that use the straw as fuel, the amount of these objects is growing in the region and now is more than 10 units.
It should be noted that the implementation of large-scale energy efficiency projects often is realized in collaboration with our foreign partners who are willing to provide financial and technical support. Examples include the arranging in solid domestic waste landfill (Stadnytsia, Vinnitsa region), the wells of the selection and installing of the landfill gas cogeneration facility that uses fuel as landfill gas. This facility can generate 1 megawatt of electricity per hour. In this case, 1.2 megawatts of thermal energy is producing. The works are done at the expense of the joint Ukrainian-German enterprise "AEU ENERGO» (the representative of "HAASE" in Ukraine) and public enterprise "EkoVin", the funding of the project is 1.6 million euro. Realization of the project has reduced the CO2 emissions by 4.5 thousand tons annually, to provide electricity output only for the first half of 2016 for 1.7 mln.kVt. per year, to solve the problem of spontaneous combustion of landfill, and to get additional funds for maintenance and further to the reclamation of landfill waste.
In June 2016, the first solid-fuel boiler room was launched in Vinnitsa that runs on wood cod. Its capacity is 5.2 MW. It is situated on the Bazhenov Street, 15a; it was built as a part of the Memorandum of Cooperation with the Swiss Confederation. The total cost of the facility is 3 million CHF; according to the Memorandum, Ukrainian side invested 27 million UAH to the construction. The created boiler room will allow to save around 5.2 million cubic meters of gas a year, and to reduce CO2 emissions by 9.9 thousand tons per year. In the summer period, the boiler room will provide the residents of the neighbourhood with the hot water that is 48 houses, 1 school and 2 kindergartens. The gas boilers VIESSMANN with a capacity of 6 MW each will be launched in the heating season to provide additional heat. Together with the installation of the boiler equipment, the replacement heating systems took place, stretching over 9 kilometres of establishing of 100 individual heating units with electronic control system SCADA and heat meters.
As for the branch of renewable energy of the region, it is worth noting that currently 21 solar (photovoltaic) power stations with total capacity of 51.69 MW operates in the region. 19 small hydropower stations with the capacity of 21.07 MW are installed in the region. The most powerful of these generating facilities are photovoltaic power station "Praymvud" in Sharhorod district with the capacity of 8 MW and the Ladyzhyn hydroelectric station with the capacity of 9 MW.
On the schedule of the electric power generation facilities for renewable energy in Vinnitsa region since 2012 and the first half of 2016, we can see that the facilities of renewable energy are producing in total over 100 million kW. hours per year.
In the next schedule it is viewed a clear trend towards increasing the number of power generating stations, and as a result, the volume of electric energy, especially electricity generating facilities that use the energy of sunlight, the number of which has increased from 5 units in 2012, to 21 units in 2016.
By 2019, 11 new small hydropower stations with installed capacity of 1.34 MW are planned to put into operation. However, there are 9 not operating small hydroelectric power stations in the region, which can be restored and to establish electricity by "green" tariff.

Thought the GeForce GTX Titan was a tad excessive? Well, think again. At the GPU Technology Conference today, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang unwrapped the GeForce GTX Titan Z, a preposterously fast (and expensive) card featuring not one, but two GK110 graphics processors. Our own Scott Wasson was on the scene, but since he's marooned without Wi-Fi connectivity, allow me to do the honors.
The GeForce GTX Titan Z's GK110 GPUs are the same, full-fat chips featured in the new GTX Titan Black. That means the Titan Z has a total of 5,760 stream processors. Nvidia hasn't announced speeds yet, but it does say the dual GK110 GPUs are "tuned to run at the same clock speed." Oh, and the Titan Z has 12 gigs of RAM—you know, in case you need to drive a display array the size of Jupiter.
Interestingly, despite the powerful hardware under the hood, Nvidia claims it's managed to keep the Titan Z "cool and quiet." There's talk of "dynamic power balancing" and "low-profile components and ducted baseplate channels" in the company's announcement. More importantly, Scott says the Titan Z card Huang held up looked to have a triple-slot cooler. I'd imagine the extra heatsink surface area would help quite a bit with heat dissipation.
Nvidia expects to price the GeForce GTX Titan Z at $2,999, a cool 50% premium over the price of dual Titan Blacks. If this thing delivers, though, it could easily be the fastest single-card solution on the market—for gaming, at least.

Golden Host (Lion Of San Marco Detail On Gondola Ferro), Venice, a photo by flatworldsedge on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
Another from my quick December trip to Venice. It's probably an inferior shot to the one posted previously (in comments below), but I keep coming back to it. Therefore, I thought I'd post it too and to hell with the law about posting excessive bokeh to Flickr.
It's taken looking up towards the Rialto bridge at golden hour, with a strident winter sun lighting up the bobbing Gondola blades - individually "ferro", so I guess "ferri" in a group?
Hope everyone is having a fantastic week. Looking forward to the 100 Strangers Project London meet up this weekend - hope to see some of you there!

On my What Things Are Made of blog, by far the most popular post is one on the element gallium. I don't know why this is so, unless there are a lot of middle schools assigning homework on gallium. So I thought I'd update that post here for the podcast.
Gallium is an element isolated in 1875 by French chemist Paul Lecoq de Boisbaudran, who named it for his native France or Gaul, Gallia in Latin. It proved the predictive validity of Mendeleyev's then new Periodic Table of the Elements, in which Mendeleyev had predicted the element in 1870. Gallium is extremely rare in terms of gallium minerals. There's one, gallite, a copper gallium sulfide, but most gallium occurs as traces in other minerals, and most of it is recovered during processing of aluminum and zinc ores, bauxite and sphalerite, where it can occur at up to 50 parts per million. Not much, but enough to be economically recoverable.
So what? Well, virtually every American uses gallium virtually every day. Not much, but it's critical in things like semi-conductors and integrated circuits in computers and televisions, cell phones, LEDs in street lights, solar panels, and more. About three-quarters of the gallium used in the United States goes to integrated circuits in the forms of gallium arsenide and gallium nitride. Most of the rest is in devices such as lasers, LEDs, telecommunications, and solar cells. Gallium has also been used as an additive to ski wax, where it helps reduce friction on the surface.
The United States hasn't produced gallium since 1987, so it's entirely dependent on imports. As with many mineral products, China is the world leader in gallium production with about 80% of the total, and they've really ramped up their production in recent years, leading to a decline in the price of gallium from almost $700 per kilogram in 2011 to $240 per kilogram in September 2014. Even though supply increased by 26% in 2014 over 2013, so did demand, especially as Asia increases its electronics usage. An increasing use for gallium is in thin-film solar cells, made with copper-indium-gallium diselenide, an alloy with photoelectric properties.
About a third of U.S. imports come from metal refineries in Germany, with another quarter from the U.K. and the same amount from China. Ukraine provides about 6% of U.S. gallium. Total U.S. consumption is about 40,000 kilograms a year, or about 88,000 pounds. Not much compared to, say, almost a million tons of zinc the U.S. consumes annually – but as I suggested earlier, gallium is pretty critical to the modern American lifestyle.

Several of Ned Tanner's acquaintances recalled contributions which the Little Traverse Township resident made in his work to develop and promote the Petoskey area's resort amenities.
But for Tanner, who died Saturday at age 77, many sensed that aviation and related activities were among his strongest interests.
"He just loved to fly, to be up in the air," said Connie, his wife of 43 years. "He had a terrible phobia of heights, but it didn't affect his flying."
Tanner died at Bortz Health Care of Petoskey, several days after moving into the nursing facility. His wife said he'd been suffering from pulmonary problems.


text: During the last weeks the silver price took a little dive. Therefore silver coins as well showed a little drop in their prices. While checking the prices for my existing Maple Leaf coins I found 1 oz Perth Mint Kangaroo coins for a quite nice price. For EUR 16.93 per coin I bought 5 coins. Adding the shipping costs of EUR 5.00 the end price is at EUR 17.93 per coin. This is EUR 0.49 per coin less than for the Maple Leafs – this is 2.66%. Let´s see what happens with the silver price in the next weeks.
