I was somewhat surprised to read about Eric Schmidt, chairman of Google, condemning the British education system at the MacTaggart Lecture at the Edinburgh International Television Festival. Not, though, that this is unwarranted; in fact, he made some very good points that should not be forgotten or ignored.
Schmidt's main point seemed to be on our historical record of innovation in science and engineering and how we have failed (on many occasions) to capitalise on these achievements. He makes some great points – you can see/hear his comments here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/aug/26/eric-schmidt-chairman-google-education
In his comments, he also said how he had been flabbergasted to learn that computer science was not taught as standard in UK schools, despite what he called the "fabulous initiative" in the 1980s when the BBC not only broadcast programmes for children about coding, but shipped over a million BBC Micro computers into schools and homes.
I would have to agree with his comments. I can remember this initiative and how this worked in tandem with the home computer market at the time. In that era, home computers were not just about playing games – and the internet did not even exist. Children (and parents) of that time could also learn how to write and code computer programs – all from the comfort of their homes. This was, at that time, new, fun and exciting – and the only education programme of its kind in the world.
There was significance and real inherent value of having this in schools. One not only learnt about writing computer programs but also the history of computing, which is important. As Eric Schmidt noted, the British invented computers in both concept and practice. He went on to say, "It's not widely known, but the world's first office computer was built in 1951 by Lyons' chain of tea shops. Yet today, none of the world's leading exponents in these fields are from the UK."
The course that ran with this schools' programme was usually a GCSE called 'Computer Studies'. Schmidt is right; where is this course in our schools today?
This was a course where you learnt how computers worked; how the microprocessor worked; how to design software programs properly; how to analyze problems and use technical diagrams and flowcharts; how computers are used in business and industry; how they affect society and much more.
The initiative successfully brought together schools, education, television and business on a national scale. Together with Acorn Computers Ltd, over a million computers were shipped to schools and homes. The BBC Microcomputer was quite expensive to buy and Acorn reacted to this (plus due to competition from home computer rival Sinclair) by selling a 'cut-down' version, called the Electron. The Electron was cheaper but, significantly, came with the same computer programming language that children up and down the country were learning. This initiative was exciting, inspiring and opened otherwise locked doors for many children.
Acorn also developed the ARM processor, which was the first RISC processor available in a low-cost PC. ARM was then founded as a spin-off from Acorn and Apple, after the two companies started collaborating on the ARM processor as part of the development of Apple's Newton computer system. The ARM processor, though, is a computer chip that is more important than most realize. Did you know : about 98% of the more than 1bn mobile phones sold each year use at least one ARM processor?
Yet, why does it feel as if the Brits have had little to do with this? Where is our global presence? Where is our stamp on this? How could we have dropped the ball?
In 2008, the 10 billionth processor chip based on ARM's designs was shipped. This year (2011), Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive, announced plans to base the next generation of Microsoft's Windows operating system on microchips designed by ARM. Until now, Microsoft's PC software had been based on chips designed by Intel in the U.S.
It seems that we started something great in our schools, something that grew global; yet, we failed to reap the benefits or sustain this as a British invention and export.
Schmidt also commented: "Your IT curriculum focuses on teaching how to use software, but gives no insight into how it's made. That is just throwing away your great computing heritage," he said.
On this, I have to agree also. The courses "these days" have such ambiguous and cryptic names, such as "ICT" – names where it is as clear as dishwater what has actually been taught and what someone who holds such a qualification knows and can do.
Of course, learning how to use common and office software (such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, Powerpoint etc) is also very important. I wonder, though, how deep these courses are and then, in turn, how useful an average school leaver could be to an employer. From what I have seen, I do not believe they are deep enough and should include some more advanced areas, as well as the basics. I do not think we set our sights high enough; we should raise our expectations and provide more inspiration to school pupils – that they deserve better; that they can do better and better themselves.
I completely agree with Eric Schmidt; computer science should be taught in schools by default – and that does not mean learning how to do a mail-merge in Microsoft Word or set up the most basic of databases using Microsoft Access.
Computer science is an area we used to treat as significant and influential in the education of our children and future of our nation; we must return to that position again.
It is astounding that this is not a fundamental key part of the standard curriculum. With the advent of the internet, global e-commerce, websites and social networking, it should go without saying that children are not only taught how to use software but also how it is designed and made, and how the underlying technologies work. In the very least, if not a subject taught in its own right, Computer Science should be an integral part of the Science curriculum.
Schmidt made reference to a comment made by Lord Sugar in an episode of the BBC's The Apprentice show – Lord Sugar's comment was something along the lines of "engineers are no good for business".
Schmidt's own success flies in the face of this notion. However, it does not stop there. Consider other successful businessmen who began as 'engineers'. For example, Bill Gates. He didn't do too badly for himself. There are many more examples.
The irony is that, whilst Lord Sugar has been successful in business, his own accomplishments in the world of computers would not have been possible but for the fact that other people, such as Bill Gates, were businessmen as well as engineers and programmers.
I do not think these irresponsible and brash comments that Lord Sugar made are helpful. Such comments are negative and do not inspire young people. In fact, it may well deter people and only adds to the negative, false assumption that, if you have a scientific or engineer's mind, you will not be successful in business. This is rubbish and history has shown this. The reality is, we need more of these minds in business. (As I recall, Lord Sugar also contradicted himself on The Apprentice, by making such comments and then going into business with Tom, himself more an inventor/designer/engineer than natural businessman).
Currently, I feel a real sense of negativity when it comes to the education of the next generation in the UK. The current government is out-of-touch. We are in desperate need of some passion, positivity and inspiration in our education system.
I fear that many your families feel a sense of disillusionment over the future, especially for their children. We have all seen what has happened to economies around the globe and, by and large, I think we all know that in the UK, the gap between the richest and poorest is huge.
It is hard for young people to be or remain positive with the few choices many face. On the one hand, they know it is very hard (if not impossible for many) to get a good job at 16. GCSEs are simply not enough anymore for many jobs, careers or employers. Yet, many young people are now faced with the prospect of not being able to go to college to take 'A'-levels or vocational courses, simply due to the costs.
The next dilemma after that is whether to try to go to university or look for a job at 18. It is very hard – we have seen this from the sheer number of unemployed graduates. If one does decide to go to university, there is also the huge debt; for many people, just the prospect of this debt is enough to deter them.
This is a terrible situation and does nothing to encourage children or help our children reach their potential. It also does not help in narrowing the gap between the richest and poorest. We may be excluding some of the best minds from the education they deserve, denying them the education and future to which they should be entitled.
The lack of the courses we need and the standard of education we need at GCSE and 'A' level both need to be addressed. We should expect and command more from the British education system. The current situation is intolerable.
There has been some talk (hardly debate, though) about recent 'A'-level papers being diluted in comparison to older ones. It is hard for me to be certain on this – though they are obviously different because of changes over the years. However, personally, I can recall taking my 'A'-levels and I would be lying if I said that the questions in the sample 'A'-level paper I saw from a couple of years ago were as difficult as those in the exams I sat.
I have some serious doubts over the modular GCSE courses that pupils now sit in many schools. While the principle of breaking the subject down into modules and tackling them in units is sound, it strikes me that there is not enough time or depth given to each unit. For example, when it comes to Algebra, some pupils may find this harder than others, and therefore require more teaching and learning time than allocated. The current systems does not allow for this, which means that some pupils may potentially not get the grades that they could achieve.
Another serious issue I have with the modular courses is that exams occur in Year 10 without sufficient prior preparation. This is at a critical age, especially for boys, as they mature later than girls. The difference between a 13/14 and 15/16-year-old pupil can be quite important. If your birthday is at the end of August, that make you the youngest in the school year; however, it your birthday is in September, you are the oldest. At that age, that difference of a year can also make a big difference. I think the structure of modular GCSE exams needs to be refined and should be preceded by a primer.
One last point on this relates to homework. I do not think there is enough emphasis on homework and on educating pupils on their responsibilities. I believe we need to also educate more on such things as the 'work ethic', self-confidence, communication skills and on why it is important to be self-motivated. I think, sometimes, it is easy to blame teachers or parents when in fact there are other aspects – the children, the government, political will, money, resources, the curriculum, teaching methods and the education system itself.
In the fast-paced modern world, where children grow up surrounded by consumerism, material possessions and the expectation of instant gratification, there is a need for people, society and our systems to adapt to this and keep up. As part of this, we have to adapt our understanding and see life and the world as our children do; their perspective and perceptions are much different to ours.
However, understanding this does not mean, for example, making exams too easy or trying to let one's children grow up in a naive bubble. If children are not prepared for real life and the real world of work, they are bound to find it much harder. For example, not having to work or do chores at home in order to earn pocket-money could lead to an expectation of getting something for nothing.
One of the things I have noticed is that some people simply do not want to make an effort. I do not believe this is a global problem – and I think it is something prevalent more so in the UK than anywhere. Whether it's through laziness, a sense of hopelessness or something else, we must work to improve matters. Children should not grow up believing they cannot change or shape their future; too many people seem to think 'effort' = 'hassle'.
In his comments, Schmidt also said the UK needed to bring art and science back together, as it had in the "glory days of the Victorian era" when Lewis Carroll wrote one of the classic fairy tales, Alice in Wonderland, and was also a mathematics tutor at Oxford.
I cannot help but agree strongly yet again. Our education system seems fragmented, multi-tiered, with options not open to everyone. The system has become dull, basic, motionless and too focussed on education for vocation. We need education that is panoptic, exciting and inspiring, with pervasive and innovative school programmes like the computer studies course mentioned above from the 1980s.
I would ask that readers look/listen to the comments Schmidt made, as all of his comments are backed up by facts and I feel he hit the nail on the head with his analysis and advice.
I believe, at the moment, that our education system (not teachers) is failing our children. It is not poor but we need innovative improvements if we are to enable people to reach their potential.
We cannot permit the education system to deteriorate, let down our children and jeopardise their future.
Just as Britain's technology innovators have to learn lessons from dropping the ball in the past, so too our children need lessons to learn for the future.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Fire destroyed a home in southwest Wichita late Wednesday afternoon. The blaze occurred at a home in the 2400 block of S. Everett. That's east of Meridian and south of Pawnee.
The first firefighters on the scene reported seeing smoke from several blocks away. When they arrived at the house, they found smoke and flames coming from the rear the structure.
There were no reports of anyone being injured in the blaze.
Fire officials says the fire was caused by fuel leaking from a generator being used to heat the house. The home had no electricity at the time of the fire.
Fire officials say the fire caused between $40,000-50,000 damage to the home and its contents.

ORAL14.02 - Clinical Significance of Soluble CD26 in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (ID 354)
16:45 - 18:15 | Author(s): C. Morimoto
- Abstract
- Presentation
- Slides
There is no established diagnostic marker for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). CD26 is a 110 kDa, multifunctional, membrane-bound glycoprotein on the surface of many cell types that has dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) enzyme activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of soluble CD26 in patients with MPM.
The study included 80 MPM patients, 79 subjects with past asbestos exposure (SPE), and 134 patients with other benign pleural diseases (OPD) that were included as a control group. Soluble CD26 levels and DPPIV activity in serum and/or pleural fluid were determined using an ELISA kit. To make a comparative review of the usefulness of sCD26, we determined serum and pleural fluid soluble mesothelin-related peptides (SMRP). SMRP was measured by the chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) based on 2-step sandwich method.
Serum sCD26 levels and DPPIV enzyme activity in patients with MPM were significantly decreased compared with those in the SPE group (P=0.000). The level of serum sCD26 was significantly decreased in patients with advanced stages of MPM compared with those with earlier stages (P=0.047). The median OS of patients with MPM who had higher DPPIV enzyme activity was significantly longer than that of those with lower DPPIV enzyme activity (P=0.032). The sCD26 levels in the pleural fluid of MPM patients with an epithelioid subtype were significantly increased compared with the OPD cohort (P=0.012). Moreover, DPPIV enzyme activity in the pleural fluid of patients with MPM with an epithelioid subtype were significantly increased compared with those in the OPD cohort (P=0.009). Patients with MPM who had lower specific DPPIV activity, determined as DPPIV/sCD26, showed significantly prolonged survival compared with those with higher specific DPPIV activity (P=0.028). Median values of serum and pleural fluid SMRP in MPM patients were 0.43 and 15.37 mmol/l, respectively. Median value of pleural fluid SMRP in epithelioid MPM was 17.28 mmol/l. Median values of serum SMRP in SPE and pleural fluid SMRP in OPD were 0.90 and 0.43 mmol/l, respectively. Pleural fluid SMRP in MPM was significantly higher than in OPD (P=0.000) and serum SMRP in MPM was significantly higher than in SPE (P=0.000).
Serum sCD26 and DPPIV enzyme activity appear to be useful biomarkers for differentiating patients with MPM from SPE. The sCD26 levels or DPPIV enzyme activity in pleural fluid appear to be biomarkers in patients with an epithelioid subtype of MPM. DPPIV activity in serum or pleural fluid appears to be predictive for the prognosis of patients with MPM.

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) and the Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union (COEASU), will today, 20 June, 2014 in Abuja, protest government's failure to meet their demands.
ASUP has been on strike since October 4, 2013 while COEASU began its' strike on December 18, 2013 after a series of warning strikes they had earlier embarked upon.
The unions accused the Supervising Minister of Education, Mr Nyesom Wike, of engaging on a propaganda to discredit the unions and their members instead of addressing the issues.
Both unions will be protesting the failure of the government to kick-start the re-negotiation of an agreement it signed with them in 2009, which was due in July 2012.
ASUP is demanding the implementation of CONTISS 15 Migration for the lower cadres in the polytechnics and the release of the White Paper on the visitations to federal polytechnics more than one year after the exercise, as well as the failure of the government to commence a Needs Assessment for polytechnics.
The union is also demanding an end to the HND/B.Sc dichotomy.
While COEASU is protesting the "non-accreditation of its programmes, corruption of the security architecture of the colleges through outsourcing to settle political allies at the detriment of staff and government's huge investment" and the "non-payment of pension/death benefits to families of deceased members."

–Sinéad O'Carroll reports from Rio de Janeiro
Updated 5.48pm
FIONNUALA MCCORMACK CROSSED the finish line at Rio de Janeiro's Sambodrombo in an impressive 20th place in today's Olympic marathon.
With the sun shining and temperatures reaching a gruelling 27 degrees Celsius, the 31-year-old three-time Olympian put in a personal best of 2:31:22.
Kenya's Jemima Jelagat Sumgong took the win in a time of 2:24:04.
It was a good day for Team Ireland with Lizzie Lee taking 57th place in 2:39:57, achieving her aim of a top 60 place and a sub 2:40 run, and Breege Connolly coming in 76th with a time of 2:44:41.
Still digesting the result in the athletes' area, McCormack told The42 that she was unsure of how she was feeling.
"I think it was positive. I'm not really sure what to make of the whole thing because it's only my third one (marathon)," she said.
I haven't seen who was in front of me and who was behind me. A lot of the time you base races off who you think you should beat. Twenty seconds off a PB in a marathon isn't major but a PB is going in the right direction.
However, she noted that she had stuck to her plan which had paid off.
"It would have been nice to catch the Japanese girl at the end but, yeah, I think everyone knew you had to be a bit conservative at the start today," she explained, referring to the heat.
"Then it's the Olympics so there are always people who will go off. I thought there would be a lot of people coming back and there's going to be carnage at some point. And you always hope it might be more than what it is."
The hot conditions didn't bother McCormack with the Wicklow woman revealing she wasn't afraid of how they might impact her.
Experience in Mombasa and other tough-but-good races in heat over the years have instilled the necessary confidence.
Some of it is psychological… I wasn't afraid that the heat was going to affect me. Obviously, you can't just disregard it and tear off at whatever pace. But if you take it into account, but it's not something I'm afraid of. Probably, the tougher the better.
"But 20th after where I started is probably OK. I think it was better than my other two Olympics. I'll have to come back again now."
Will that be for another marathon or back on the track at 10,000m?
(McCormack opted out of the 10,000m in this Olympics despite qualifying as the endurance events were only days apart).
"It was definitely too close to do them both – definitely to do them both justice," she explained.
"I think, yeah like maybe, I could have ran well in the 10,000. I don't know if I would have wanted to be in it anyway," she laughs.
The athlete went to the track to watch Almaz Ayana obliterate a world record – which had been held for 23 years – by 14 seconds.
"[I] suppose, you can't be too negative about things and I don't really know what to make of it," she said of Friday's race.
"And I guess everybody is in the same boat at this stage. It was still a good race to watch though – and I was glad I went out to see it, to see all the other subplots. It was a big race with a big field, which I think is the positive out of it.
"Even with all the scandals and everything going on, the fact that there is 35 or 36 people in the race means that everybody hasn't given up on the sport altogether. Take the positives and look at it from that point of view."
For now, no decisions are being made.
"I enjoyed the 10k on the track at the Europeans. Obviously, it would have been nice to get a medal but it was good to be running close to my best. I think I could probably go quicker if I focused on it. I love cross country. It's nice to have the three."
The only plan for now is to give some care and love to the blistered feet and spend nine free days in Rio, soaking in her third Olympic Games.

Muni Minute
Hope everyone is enjoying the last long weekend of Summer, as we slowly move towards fall golf, I just wanted to send out a quick update on the course and events coming up as we move into September.
Yesterday we were able to get an early aeration done on our greens!! this maintenance practice is a must to maintain good turf health and produce great greens. You may ask why so early when most years/courses are done near end of September? but this is actually the time to do them as warmer temps help with faster recovery and new growth. Meaning less time noticing the aeration holes!! and past practices have seen tournaments/ golfers pushing for later aeration dates. This new aeration time will help in continually seeing our greens improve as we strive to have the best greens around.
In September we see the end of most leagues, including Men's league which ends with our Men's closing day on Sept 7th. Tee times can be booked at the pro-shop counter with times available from 10:30am till 4:30pm with a meal provided for league players.
We will also see 12 of our Muni players play against the Stratford Country Club for the Romeo Cup on the 14th and 15th of September!!! We encourage anyone who wants to come out to the Muni on the 14th and cheer on our players to do so, as we go for our 6th win in 7 years.

UAFS launches plan to recruit students from military communities
A Military Recruiting Campaign would go toward the strategic plan component of recruiting new demographics in order to grow enrollment, Dr. Ed Serna, interim chancellor at the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith, told the UAFS Board of Visitors at their regular meeting Wednesday (Feb. 20).
"We have to continue to look at new ways and new programs to grow enrollment," Serna said.
The campaign will be "a university initiative to promote three online programs that appeal to the active duty and veteran military community," Serna's presentation showed. Recruitment would encourage military personnel to pursue a bachelor's in business administration degree, a bachelor of science's in organizational leadership or an associate degree in unmanned aerial systems.
Goals of the program would be to develop a national brand, improve the local reputation of UAFS as a national brand and build the university's online profile, Serna said.
The campaign idea grew after university officials learned that 91% of active duty military do not have a bachelor's degree, Serna said.
"There is a lot of interest there. They want to maximize on their military experience and credentials in a way that will lead to high paying jobs," he said.
Market opportunities are available to target "veterans and military personnel who wish to return to civilian life" with "programs that connect prior military experience with high demand fields," Serna's presentation stated. Plans call for developing a military recruiting video to geo-target areas with a large military presence and bases. The university will partner with Task & Purpose, a media company that focuses on military and veteran culture, and with Kombi Creative, a Fort Smith and Fayetteville-based company, to develop three high-quality videos highlighting the targeted programs, Serna said.
UAFS's new UAS program director, David Pollman, has prior military experience, which makes him an invaluable asset who understands the market and how to network in it, Serna said. And, the university has a strong student veteran's association, who will assist by answering inquiring students' questions via email or telephone.
The university's partnership with the Arkansas National Guard will also help the initiative immensely, Serna said. The university announced a partnership with the Air National Guard in regards to its UAS program in December. The partnership creates a "symbiotic recruiting relationship between the two," the university said, allowing UAFS to use ranges and training areas at Fort Chaffee for students to fly unmanned aircraft, more commonly known as drones. In return, students will perform applied learning exercises that will provide data to Fort Chaffee to assist their environmental and natural resources program.
"We are proud to be moving forward on multiple fronts and making strategic investments and taking calculated to propel UAFS forward," Serna said of the initiative. "The military recruitment campaign is a reflection of our dedication to reaching underserved and diverse populations in our region and across the nation."

Daily Stormer
September 27, 2016
Deplorable kike Milo Yiannopoulos is the arch-nemesis of the Alt-right. Understand this.
I am hereby declaring a Holy Crusade against Milo Yiannopoulos, who is the single greatest threat our movement has at this time.
He is our arch-nemesis.
We need to stop this kike.
Deus Vult!
Stormer Book Clubs have formed. The program continues to grow.
Now, we have a first mission.
We are going to invade Milo's events and confront him.
If you haven't joined an SBC:
We need all the men we can get.
Just go on that forum, find your local group and make a post.
Look at This: It's Already Happening
Ghoul's Facebook meme page is already being overrun by Milo's kikebots saying that the Alt-Right isn't racist or anti-Semitic.
His plan is working. He is taking our brand, our symbols, and turning them against us for a neocon-Jew conservative agenda. He is rewriting our narrative, while taking everything that we have created to use for his own KIKE purposes.
This is the Plan
We are going to be at every single event Milo holds, publicly confront him and put it on YouTube. We are going to show his people that the real Alt-Right exists and that we despise him, that the hoax Alt-Right he's created doesn't exist.
Get your SBC partners, or your TRS pool party mates, or go alone – and ask him questions during the Q&A, then, if you can catch him afterwards, confront him there. Film it, upload it to YouTube. If you're worried about exposing your own identity, either film it in such a way so as you are not exposed, or blur yourself.
Step One
Go to the show. Entrance is free. Sit in separate places if there are more than one of you planning to ask questions (ideally, you should all ask questions).
Step Two
Ask a question.
Here are some examples:
- When will you be giving out the money you took for the White privilege college tuition fund? I read on the #1 Alt-Right website the Daily Stormer that you stole it.
- You claim that the Alt-Right is only 5% racist anti-Semites. The Daily Stormer says this is a lie, and they are the number one Alt-Right site on the internet with more traffic than all other Alt-Right sites combined, which you can easily look up. Who are the non-racists in the Alt-Right? Are you lying? Who are these people that they have no media outlets? How have you quantified them?
- Will you be going on an Alt-Right podcast such as The Daily Shoah or Fash the Nation to explain your belief that the Alt-Right is secretly a non-racist movement, and everything they say is a joke? The Right Stuff and the Daily Stormer are the two most popular Alt-Right websites, and both of them are actually racist and anti-Semitic.
- You claim that the Alt-Right is joking when they attack Jewish journalists. But the Daily Stormer, an Alt-Right site which has been cited by many mainstream websites as the source of these twitter attacks, says that it isn't joking. The Daily Stormer has more traffic than all other Alt-Right sites combined. What evidence do you have that racism is all a big joke?
Basically some version of those four questions should be asked at every show. If you have more than four people, you can repeat the same questions. Or you can think of your own.
Make sure to seriously play-up the "world's number one Alt-Right site with millions of views, which is a fact anyone can look-up" angle. That way it is made abundantly clear that he is lying, not simply miscalculating.
Step Three
Visit any post-speech event he has, and question him further there, and film it. He is a drug addict and will have a hard time interacting with you in an off-stage environment. If you can get video of him looking rattled and post it online, this will damage his reputation.
Fragile Person
His entire public image is based on the idea that he can't be rattled, and that he is offended by nothing, has no real beliefs. This is where you have to hit him. Force him into being unable to do something snarky. Making him uncomfortable is good, making him defend mainstream liberal positions on racism and anti-Semitism is better. Defending the mainstream makes him look weak and pathetic, yet he has already defined his positions – or defined our positions? – as a form of liberalism.
He will also be in a state of constant fear when he knows that real Nazis are going to show-up at every show and confront him. That there is nowhere to run.
This is Very, Very Important
This guy is the worst imaginable enemy. You all need to get out there and do this. It will also be a good reason to get involved in an SBC, if you haven't already.
We must fight.
You have your orders.
Hail Victory.

Gastronomy to empower young migrants in Colombia.
Building bridges between young Venezuelan migrants and internally displaced persons and their communities through training in gastronomy .
What problem does the idea help to solve and how does your solution work? (2,000 characters maximum)
Geography of focus (500 characters)The project will be implemented in Colombia, in the cities of Bogota and Cali, where two Manq'a schools have been operating since 2015. These urban centers attract many migrants and displaced people in search of better life opportunities. However, most are relocated to poor neighbourhoods. The project focuses on these most vulnerable populations: Venezuelan migrants, internally displaced persons, as well as low-income non-migrants, creating bridges between them.
Building Bridges: What bridge does your idea build between people on the move and neighbors towards a shared future of stability and promise? (500 characters)MANQ'A creates bridges between the three most important groups in the gastronomic chain: - Chefs (young migrants): through training in gastronomy, creating bridges of inclusion in society. - Small producers: connecting them to the demand from Manq'a schools. - Consumers, who improve their eating habits and consume healthy food The project also fosters bridges between migrants, displaced people and non-migrants, so that they can share their experiences, difficulties and dreams.
What human need is your idea solving for? (1,000 characters)Most of the beneficiaries have already covered their basic food and housing needs. However, migrants and displaced persons, due to their migratory situation, have very little hope in life. Therefore, the project focuses on empowering them so that they can live with autonomy and dignity, and become agents of change in their community. In the first place, Manq'a offers confidence and job opportunities through its technical training in gastronomy and its accompaniment to employment or entrepreneurship. The training creates spaces for encounters that improve their social-emotional skills: conflict management, leadership, gender... that allows them to be included in society and to develop with happiness and Peace. Manq'a approach also focuses on the valorization of local products and gastronomic knowledge, which allows young people to reconnect with their origins and strengthen their cultural identity that was lost in the migratory process.
What will be different within the community of focus as a result of implementing your idea? (1,000 characters)Manq'a model creates sustainable impacts on the 3 main problems migrants face: - It improves life opportunities: once trained, Manq'a accompanies the young people in the definition of their life plan, and then in their labour insertion or the creation of their own sustainable enterprise, giving them back their dignity and hope. - It strengthens cultural identity: combining the revaluation of food heritage, traditional products and knowledge with gourmet and modern techniques, the training gives meaning to young people who find themselves at the crossroads between rural and urban world, tradition and modernity after their migratory journey. - It strengthens their social and family networks: the training creates spaces for exchange, encounter and reconciliation after having suffered from the migratory process, which allows young people to reflect on their social relationships, create networks of mutual support and friendships that durably reduce their social vulnerability.
What is the inspiration behind your idea? (1,000 characters)Through more than 5 years of project experience in Colombia and Bolivia, young people have been able to observe the great transformative potential of gastronomy. The main result that inspires us to continue our work is to see these young people feel dignified again: to begin to believe in their potential and their skills, to value their cultural roots, and to reconnect with their families and society. We are convinced that the young chefs of Manq'a, empowered, become actors of change in their family and community: even after the project, they continue to transform society with proposals of healthy and responsible food, and showing an example of dignity with their business or their work.
Describe the dynamics of the community in which the idea is to be implemented. (1,000 characters)
How does your idea leverage and empower community strengths and assets to help create an environment for success? (1,000 characters)
What other partners or stakeholders will work alongside you in implementing the idea, if any? (1,000 characters)Manq'a developed alliances with numerous actors in Colombia to further strengthen the potential of young people: • Fundación El Pequeño Trabajador – support the training process in Bogotá • Corporación Cívica Daniel Gillard – support the training process in Cali • Fundación San Isidro - articulation with producers to supply schools with organic food • Agency for Reincorporation and Normalization - insertion of demobilized persons • National Unit for the Care and Reparation of Victims - insertion of displaced persons • Fundación Escuela Taller de Bogotá – certification as kitchen technicians • Local Direction of Education – licence for certification of the training (in process) • Restaurants: MiniMal, Donostia, Panóptico y Tábula, Platillos Voladores, Carne y Maduro, Antigua y Contemporánea, etc - labour insertion
What part of the displacement journey is your solution addressing
- Arriving and settling at a destination community
Tell us how you'd describe the type of innovation you are proposing
- Service: A new or enhanced service that creates value for end beneficiaries
Idea Proposal Stage
- Majority Adoption: We have expanded the pilot significantly and the program product or service has been adopted by the majority of our intended user base (i.e. 50% to 83% of the target population or 50,000 to 1,000,000 users).
Group or Organization NameManq'a ( means "food" in aymara language)
Tell us more about your group or organization [or lived experience as a displaced person?] (1000 characters)The Manq'a project was born in 2014 in the city of El Alto, in Bolivian Andes, where there are young people whose parents or grandparents have migrated from the countryside to the city. To date, Manq'a has 12 schools in this country, and has trained more than 3'800 vulnerable young people. In Colombia, since 2015, more than 500 young people have been trained in our schools in Cali and Bogotá, focusing more on the issue of migration. Each school trains an average of 60 young cooks per semester. Manq'a is like a big family, which gathers around the idea that gastronomy can change the world. At its center are the young people who are empowered and who spread their ideas and dreams throughout the organization. Then there is the technical team: facilitators, area managers and administration team whose objective is to support young people in their transformation as an actor of change. A committed and multidisciplinary team that works under the motto of innovation.

How it Works
How it Works
Clean Blood Test Results
Velocity Delivery System
Q: How is the product applied?
A: Velocity gel is generally applied with your bare hands (or wearing latex gloves) to all the major muscle groups which you are targeting. Massage the product into the horse's coat to allow the product to reach the dermal layer of the horse's skin. Each horse may have specific application requirements depending on the activity being performed, or for targeted treatment of issues such as being prone to stiffness or soreness in select areas. If required for horses with longer coats, you can brush or towel off excess product 15 to 30 minutes post application.
Q: How much product is applied?
A: One 32oz bottle contains enough Velocity for 2 to 8 applications. This varies depending on the size of the horse and coverage. Typically, the more that is applied and absorbed by the horse, the greater the effect will be on its performance and recovery.
Q: How often can the product be applied?
A: The product can be applied as frequently as desired. For horses that train frequently or at high training volumes multiple applications may yield more effective results.
Q: When is the product applied?
A: For performance benefits application should be done at least 45 minutes prior to activity. Additional recovery benefits can be achieved by applying Velocity within 30-60 minutes after activity as well.
Q: Where is it applied on the horse?
A: You can also apply it solely to areas of concern or stress (i.e. neck or a specific leg). For performance benefits we recommend applying to the main muscle groups being used by the horse for the specific activity they are undertaking.
Q: Are there any substances in the product that would cause a positive test for a banned substance racing in North America?
A: There are no substances in the product that would cause a positive test for banned substance for racing in any state in North America. We have had the product independently tested and no banned substances have been found after application.
Q: What are the ingredients in the product?
A: Water, Glycerine, Ethoxydiglycol, Magnesium sulphate, Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), Hydroxypropyl Cellulose, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin. You can read more about these ingredients and their purpose in the formulation on our
ingredients page

Identifying All Of The New Spider-Men In Spider-Verse
Marvel said that they were going to include every Spider-Man possible in the Spider-Verse event.
Boy, they weren't bluffing.
From today's "Amazing Spider-Man #9," which officially launches the Spider-Verse event, fans received a look at even more Spider-Men who would join the multiversal fight against Morlun. When Morlun confront the Great Weaver Spider-Diety, she spins a web that reveals the Spider-Men who belong to its Great Web of Life and Destiny.
But the Great Web has a lot of obscurities in it. Of the various Spider-Men included in web, many are rarely-seen versions of the character. It even looks like Marvel has thrown some new Spider-Men into mix, mashing up Peter Park with other Marvel--and DC--characters.
Locating all of the Spider-Men was certainly a lot of work for Spider-Man editor Nick Lowe, who poured over hundreds of Spider-Man comics in preparation.
"We tried to help all of them make the cut, where space will allow. There are so many coming, your head is going to spin," Lowe told Comicbook.com "But the ones who have the largest roles were chosen very carefully both for their importance to Spidey-fans and the different character elements that we needed. And then just Slott's favorites."
When asked if he had a favorite out of the dozens of new characters, Lowe's choice was simple: Spider-Gwen, the breakout character from "Edge of Spider-Verse #2" who was just awarded her own series.
"Spider-Gwen is the obvious answer, right? Aside from that SP//dr is a fave. You'll see both through Spider-Verse! And Olivier created a Spider you'll first see in ASM #10 who is really awesome, too," he revealed.
To help you better grasp the stakes at hand in Spider-Verse, we cracked open our encyclopedia and ID'd as many players possible.
Starting Clockwise from the Great Weaver:
1) A female character wearing Spider-Man's stealth suit from "Spider-Man: Big Time."
2) Werewolf Spider-Man/Peter Parker, from Earth 7085, which first appeared in "Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness #5."
3) SP//dr, from "Edge of Spider-Verse #5."
4) A Rorschach-inspired Spider-Man, apparently riffing off of "Watchmen."
5) Pirate Spider-Man.
6) Corto Maltese Spider-Man.
7) Carnage Spider-Man, from the Ultimate Spider-Man television series.
8) Japanese Spider-Man, from the 1970's TOEI live-action TV series.
9) A Human Torch-powered Spider-Man.
10) The retired, "Grandpa Martin" Spider-Man, featured in a back-up tale from Spider-Man #700.
11) A Grifter/Spider-Man Hybrid.
12) Tarzan Spider-Man.
13 )A Kraven The Hunter/Spider-Man Hybrid.
14) A Doctor Octopus Spider-Man of Earth 11983, featured in Spider-Man: The Animated Series episode "Spider Wars."
15) A Wolverine/Spider-Man Hybrid
16) Ashley Barton, from Earth 807128. She is the child of Peter Parker's daughter and Clint Barton in the "Old Man Logan" universe.
17) Spider-Man Manga, from Earth 2301.
18) Ben Reilly Scarlett Spider, wearing the 90's hoodie costume.
19) Captain Universe Spider-Man.
20) Black-Suited Spider-Man.

With a chill in the outside air, families flocked to Northwest Elementary School on Jan. 16 for the annual Winter Wonderland event on an evening that certainly felt like winter.
There was a strong turnout for the annual family fun night, as Northwest's first, second and third graders were joined by parents as well as older and younger siblings for winter-themed activities. Winter Wonderland started with a sing-along in the cafeteria followed by bingo. Instead of numbers, bingo cards were filled with winter words.
In classrooms, students participated in fun learning activities with assistance from members of the National Junior Honor Society at Edmund W. Miles Middle School. They combined glue, saline solution, baking soda, blue food coloring and glitter to make slime. The experiment combined math and science as students measured and mixed ingredients. Teachers read winter-themed books and children were able to personalize their own mugs to take home.

|Capacities of Graph Powers
|Eyal Lubetzky
|Tel Aviv University
|Monday, May 2
|11:15am - 12:15pm/S-101
For an undirected graph G=(V,E), let G^n denote the graph whose vertex set is V^n in which two distinct vertices (u_1, u_2, ... ,u_n) and (v_1, v_2, ... ,v_n) are adjacent iff for all i between 1 and n, u_i and v_i are either equal or adjacent. The Shannon capacity of G is the limit of the sequence (\alpha(G^n))^{1/n}, where \alpha(G^n) is the maximum size of an independent set of vertices in G^n. In the first part of the talk, I will sketch a proof showing that the Shannon Capacity of G can be far from any term of an arbitrarily long, yet fixed, prefix of this sequence. This is true even if this prefix shows a significant increase after which it stabilizes for a while. Next, motivated by questions in coding theory, I will discuss the Xor graph product, and investigate two new parameters of a graph, which relate to the independence numbers and clique numbers of its Xor powers. Joint work with Noga Alon.

If you're counting down the days to your wedding, divorce is probably the last thing you and your fiancé want to be thinking about, and yet you might be rightfully concerned about what would happen to your assets in the event of a divorce—or your death.

The Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (TCJA) made sweeping changes to exemptions, deductions, and credits for your family's federal income taxes. But one major change that you might not have noticed is the way the law altered the potential tax consequences of divorce. Unlike child support, alimony payments have long been tax-deductible for the ex-spouse […]Read More
In the first part of this series, we discussed a couple of the most critical updates you must make to your estate plan if you're getting divorced.

Divorce can be traumatic for the whole family. Even if the process is amicable, it involves many tough decisions, legal hassles, and painful emotions that can drag out over several months, or even years.

Last week, we shared the first part of this series, discussing some of the key steps for conscious co-parenting. In part two, we continue with the final steps. Today, many married couples who decide to end their marriages choose conscious divorce. However, once the divorce is finalized, you must continue using the same positive approach […]Read More
Committing to a conscious divorce means protecting your children from end-of-marriage related trauma. When the marriage ends in a cooperative manner, divorce can be transformed from a contentious event into one that can inspire healthy growth. In fact, engaging in divorce with a positive focus can better prepare both you and your kids for your […]Read More
The concept of conscious uncoupling, or conscious divorce, has been around for decades in the psychotherapy community. However, the actual term "conscious uncoupling" was thrust into the mainstream lexicon in 2014, when Gwyneth Paltrow used it to publicly announce that she and husband Chris Martin were separating. Since then, the term has been used extensively […]Read More
Divorce can be one of the most unpleasant—and often traumatic—experiences of your life, especially if you have children. It can be even more distressing for the kids themselves. In many cases, a divorce can severely affect a child's emotional well-being, and in extreme cases, even tear apart a parent's personal relationship with their offspring. In […]Read More
Trusts vary in their structure, funding, and terms, so it's hard to know how divorce will impact your trust without review.

The impact of a divorce on your trust can […]Read More
Divorce can wreak havoc on your finances.

Locksmith Dublin – Finds a Locksmith in Dublin
locksmith Dublin offers a wide range of services from locksmith services to fastening doors and windows. But before you start to hire a locksmith, you must first determine the type of locksmith services you are looking for. An experienced locksmith can help you in many ways and at one place, therefore finding the best specialist in Dublin should be easy.
One important point is that you must check whether the person giving the locksmith service is licensed to provide the service. Licensing takes two forms, either a P.I. (person authorized to carry out locksmith duties) or a C.I. (commissioning inspector).
Once you have checked that the person is registered with the C.I., it will allow you to search for a qualified locksmith. This is necessary because you don't want a locksmith who is not licensed to lock your car or to open the door for you. You need to be careful with licensed locksmiths as they may hold some negative points in relation to your insurance.
The first step is to identify a source for locks and keys and, of course, an ID card. If you happen to be an insurance customer, you can ask your insurance company for one.
You can start by searching online for a lock and keys service and an Locksmith Dublin to pick locksmith Dublin services to fit your need. A useful tool to find a good locksmith in Dublin is a website, where you can see all the services they offer, from providing door-to-door services, emergency services, lock repair, and door-to-door marketing.
Emergency services can only be useful if there is a fire, theft, or any other emergency. But, there are some things you should be aware of if you live in a house where a resident is a tenant and you are paying rent for your flat.
Remember, when you are paying rent, the landlord has the right to decide who enters your home for maintenance or repairs. If you let him take keys for your door and windows, you could easily lose your key.
It is vital that you choose the right persons to do your locksmith services. If you are looking for a locksmith to replace your keys, be sure to get a service that specializes in locks and keys. Not only that, you must also be careful about getting a locksmith that only uses the right tools and has good skills.
There are many locksmith services out there so you shouldn't need to make too many inquiries. You can start by asking your friends, relatives, or neighbors for recommendations. Ask them about the best locksmith services they have used.
If you have medical insurance, you can also find a professional that will provide a quote for emergency cases. Ask if he is insured, and if he is, ask for a quote for door locks. Most companies that provide emergency services should not be considered for locksmith Dublin services.
Make sure that you plan your budget well and make sure that you don't spend more than you have to on locks and keys. A great set of tools and top-notch service cannot save you from a large bill at the end of the month.

If using the PPP-SR04 or PPP-SRDSU04 (which allows four computers to be connected to a single dedicated line without local ethernet networking by utilizing the Windows Dial-Up-Networking wizard and the COM: port), then there should be enough node numbers allocated for up to 6 nodes on the subnet. This allows four addresses for workstations, one for the PPP-SR, and one for the host router port. The PPP-SR does not NEED an IP address, but it is useful for troubleshooting the system. The network mask for the host router should be 255.255.255.248. This mask provides for 32 subnets in a class C space. This works for both the obsolete non-zero node number and the current zero node number allocations because both support 6 nodes with this mask. The example in figure 2 presumes four workstations at each remote site.
The addressing schemes listed above will work with virtually any router using either Sync PPP or Frame Relay. Some routers (usually working with Frame Relay transport) can be configured without an IP address on their WAN ports. These routers can use an even finer grained subnet mask (255.255.255.255) which allows 254 remote sites (each with one PC) in a single class C address space.
Note that the PPP-SR products do not require an IP address. However, if one is configured, it can be used to ping (either to or from) the PPP-SR. This is useful when first getting the system up and for future troubleshooting or link verification. The remote computers are always configured to use DUN, and there is usually no networking expertise available at the remote site to assist in troubleshooting. Being able to ping the PPP-SR and the remote computer allows connectivity problem diagnosis to the lowest level without remote networking expertise.

New Line of Smirnoff is Just for the Jet Set
Airlines & Airports June 06, 2014
Photo courtesy of Smirnoff
Smirnoff has announced a pioneering new super-premium vodka Smirnoff White — available exclusively for travelers.
Global travelers should look out for special Smirnoff White pop-ups in airports around the globe where they can sample the sensationally smooth vodka and purchase a bottle to take home. The striking, crisp white bottle of Smirnoff White reflects the crystalline formations found in the purest arctic ice and highlights the distinctive quality of this new vodka. A clear cut-glass base transforms into a smooth, white finish towards the neck of the bottle where the Smirnoff White logo appears, as if etched into a block of solid ice.
Steve White, global marketing director of Diageo global travel and middle east (GTME), said, "Smirnoff White is a truly exciting vodka which reflects the pioneering spirit of Vladimir Smirnoff. The innovative freeze filtration process guarantees an exceptionally smooth taste which will appeal to travelers the world over.
"We've chosen duty free as the sole global outlet for SMIRNOFF WHITE in order to reward travelers who seek unique offerings to enhance their experiences and to serve as a memento of their travels."
Smirnoff White is best served neat or over ice, but can also be enjoyed as part of a favorite cocktail. From this week, Smirnoff White will be rolled out to duty free stores across the globe exclusively for travelers at a recommended retail price of around $35 for 1 litre.

|Scott traversing left on face climbing out of the Great Dihedral
On the final pitch up the corner Scott had to change into rock climbing shoes from his boots and crampons. It looked like the top of the dihedral was capped with a wide, overhanging, and icy crack. To his delight, a series of nice edges in the granite appeared on the left wall and he was able to get on easy but exposed face climbing that avoided the heinous looking climbing to his right.
|Looking to the north at K7 behind Hassin Peak in the foreground. The unclimbed Link Sar is in the clouds on the right
Above the dihedral it was back to the boots and crampons and Scott quickly dispensed with a snowy granite corner. As the light started to fade, the last pitch that took us to the summit provided a final sting in the tail. Scott was faced with an insecure traverse along the top edge of a very exposed rock wall capped with snow that had the consistency and strength of a pile of BB's. To Move up along the edge of the wall he had to excavate the snow away that wouldn't hold his weight. As the wall ended he was forced to pull up onto the snow above the rock with insecure ice tool placements and protection that by now was far below. Once he was up onto the snow he kicked steps up the easy snow to the summit and calmly let Graham and I know that he was on top.
|Rappelling off the summit
|Sunset on Changi Tower at our camp in the basin

In the morning we descended the icefall when it was nice and frozen.
