You can easily make your own 1080p movies with relatively inexpensive gear at home now, but what if you want quality sound effects? Samson's (a name brand for microphones) Q2U might be your ticket for do-it-at-home Foley times.
The Q2U supports both XLR and USB cables, letting you plug it into basically any machine you have in your house. Now you can break glass, stomp on light bulbs and do whatever it is those crazy sound recording artists do to get effects to seem more exciting than they actually are in real life. It also has a 3.5mm headphone port so you can listen to what you're recording while you're recording it. [Samson via Engadget]

Imus called women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos"
Research ››› ››› RYAN CHIACHIERE
On the April 4 edition of MSNBC's Imus in the Morning, host Don Imus referred to the Rutgers University women's basketball team, which is comprised of eight African-American and two white players, as "nappy-headed hos" immediately after the show's executive producer, Bernard McGuirk, called the team "hard-core hos." Later, former Imus sports announcer Sid Rosenberg, who was filling in for sportscaster Chris Carlin, said: "The more I look at Rutgers, they look exactly like the [National Basketball Association's] Toronto Raptors."
McGuirk referred to the NCAA women's basketball championship game between Rutgers and Tennessee as a "Spike Lee thing," adding, "The Jigaboos vs. The Wannabees -- that movie that he had." McGuirk was presumably referring to Lee's 1988 film, School Daze (Sony Pictures), though co-host Charles McCord misidentified it as "Do the Right Thing" (Criterion, June 1989).
In a June 2, 1991, review of Lee's Jungle Fever (Universal Pictures), The New York Times described the rivalry depicted in School Daze:
"School Daze," his 1988 satire on an all-black college similar to his own alma mater, Morehouse, turned the friction centered on color into a pointed burlesque. The college's women divided into two camps, the dark "Jigaboos" and the fair "Wannabees," who taunted each other in one scene with the epithets "pickaninny," "Barbie doll," "tar baby" and "high-yellow heifer."
Rosenberg's comparison of the Rutgers women's basketball team to the Raptors recalled comments he made in June 2001 about Venus and Serena Williams, two African-American female professional tennis players. According to a November 20, 2001, Newsday article, Rosenberg said on the air: "One time, a friend, he says to me, 'Listen, one of these days you're gonna see Venus and Serena Williams in Playboy.' I said, 'You've got a better shot at National Geographic.' " Rosenberg also referred to Venus Williams as an "animal." Media Matters for America noted those comments when Rosenberg alluded to them on the March 28 edition of Imus.
Also, on the March 30 edition of Public Broadcasting Service's The Charlie Rose Show, regarding the NCAA "March Madness" basketball tournament, host Charlie Rose asked CBS sportscaster Billy Packer: "Do you need a runner this Final Four? Because I could jump on a plane and I could be there." Packer replied: "You always fag out on that one for me. ... [Y]ou always say, 'Oh yeah, I'm going to be the runner,' then you never show up."
In 2000, as noted by an article on ESPN.com, Packer made comments that were viewed as disparaging to women, when he said, "Since when do we let women control who gets into a men's basketball game? Why don't you go find a women's game to let people into?" Also, as noted in a March 4, 1996, article in The Washington Post, Packer "describ[ed] Georgetown guard Allen Iverson as a 'tough monkey' during the Hoyas' nationally televised game against Villanova" during that year's NCAA tournament. Packer later apologized for both comments.
From the April 4 edition of MSNBC's Imus in the Morning:
IMUS: So, I watched the basketball game last night between -- a little bit of Rutgers and Tennessee, the women's final.
ROSENBERG: Yeah, Tennessee won last night -- seventh championship for [Tennessee coach] Pat Summitt, I-Man. They beat Rutgers by 13 points.
IMUS: That's some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos and --
McGUIRK: Some hard-core hos.
IMUS: That's some nappy-headed hos there. I'm gonna tell you that now, man, that's some -- woo. And the girls from Tennessee, they all look cute, you know, so, like -- kinda like -- I don't know.
McGUIRK: A Spike Lee thing.
IMUS: Yeah.
McGUIRK: The Jigaboos vs. the Wannabes -- that movie that he had.
IMUS: Yeah, it was a tough --
McCORD: Do The Right Thing.
McGUIRK: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
IMUS: I don't know if I'd have wanted to beat Rutgers or not, but they did, right?
ROSENBERG: It was a tough watch. The more I look at Rutgers, they look exactly like the Toronto Raptors.
IMUS: Well, I guess, yeah.
RUFFINO: Only tougher.
McGUIRK: The [Memphis] Grizzlies would be more appropriate.
From the March 30 edition of PBS' Charlie Rose:
ROSE: Do you need a runner this Final Four? Because I could jump on a plane, and I could be there.
PACKER: You always fag out on that one for me. You know, you never -- you know, you always say, "Oh yeah, I'm going to be the runner," then you never show up. But I'm sure they can find a place for you. You've got all the connections in the world. You can go ahead and be a runner any place you want to.

I am wondering if you have a Iberian cruise in late March. Where do I find more info about booking?
It might be September, but it certainly feels like Christmas here at the Friendly Planet Travel office. That's because I'm thrilled to announce the release of two new cruises: Mediterranean Highlights by the Sea and the Iberian Coasts Cruise. Not only are the prices on these trips incredible for the outstanding quality of travel, but they both have departure dates over the upcoming holiday season.
Want to do something with your family during the holidays that no one will ever forget? Leave the details to us. Today, I'm going to tell you all about the seven-day Mediterranean Highlights cruise for only $1,299 (and stay tuned for all the details on the Iberian Coasts Cruise).
How about spending Christmas Day exploring the ancient coastal town of Trapani, Sicily? Although most of the city has been modernized, much of Trapani's architecture still reflects its medieval past and ancient heritage. Some of Trapani's best preserved structures include the Annunciation Sanctuary, the Pepoli Museum, the Spedaletto Palace, and the Church of Saint Augustine. In additional to its rich history, Trapani's westward position on the Sicilian coast affords some of the most spectacular views of the beautiful Mediterranean sunsets.
But that's just one day. Our Mediterranean Highlights cruise is a fantastic celebration of the cultural riches and natural beauty of the Western Mediterranean aboard the M/V Louis Majesty cruise ship, Louis Cruise Lines' newest, completely refurbished addition.
Our journey is an exotic living mosaic, where every port recalls another magnificent era of castles and fortresses, ancient cultures, exotic art, and architectural treasures and grandeur. We'll visit fascinating ports of call in Spain, France, Italy, Tunisia, and Malta while enjoying superior accommodations every night aboard our cruise ship.
Travelers are free to explore themselves throughout the day in destinations such as Marseilles, France; Sicily, Italy; and Port Mahon, Spain (to name a few). Or, take advantage of some of the inexpensive tours we'll be providing.
This is one of those Friendly Planet Travel packages that not even everyone at Friendly Planet can believe. I've told you about how our good relationships with our suppliers often translate into savings for us, which we of course pass on to you! Well this is the perfect example of that practice at work.
The $1,299 price includes roundtrip flights from New York, a six-night Mediterranean cruise, all meals aboard the cruise, and group transfers. Not only have we been given very special rates for Friendly Planet travelers, but we've gotten a free one-level upgrade in our pricing from our cruise supplier. That means when a passenger pays the lowest price (for an inside cabin), they're getting an upgrade to the next level of inside cabin for free. This same upgrade policy applies when booking the already heavily-discounted outside cabins. If you've ever been on a cruise before, you know what a great deal this is!
And it's affordable for the whole family. Children up to age 18 (maximum two children per cabin) can share with two adults for free. The only additional costs are the taxes on the cruise and their cost at the hotel in Rome.
We've also struck a deal for our single travelers, who often get slammed with hefty supplemental fees when cruising alone. We've negotiated discount rates for them, so the supplements will be lower than cruises usually charge. Stay tuned for more information about both the singles and children deals.
And finally, after the cruise docks at its final port-of-call in Genoa, we've included an optional, free two-night extension in Rome. The flight to Rome is, of course, also included, as well as all transfers. While in Rome, travelers will stay at the centrally located, 4-star Hotel Genova.
This year's Mediterranean Highlights cruise takes place Dec. 19 to Dec. 28, with six additional departures throughout 2010. As I said, the perfect holiday trip for you and your family! And keep in mind that December in the southern Mediterranean is gloriously temperate; perfect for taking in the view from the ship's deck, enjoying the full spa, and spending days touring.

Randall Lynn Bending, 59, a loving father and friend, died to be with the Lord on Aug. 23, 2012. Randall leaves two sons, Austin and Mason Bending, their sister, Victoria Durand, two brothers, Larry and Denny (Newark, OH), and many, many dear friends, including Susan, Renae, Cody and Casey.

He was known for his "Rat Pie" and could be seen hitching a ride to most anywhere. Randy loved fishing-especially with his boys, being on the water, and traveling.

University of Alaska Fairbanks Chilling Paper Towel Waste with TCFT Stickers
In the meantime, though, it seems that I can take some pride in the fact that a whole passel of These Come From Trees stickers will be making their way up to the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
UAF already has a large Go Green Initiative, complete with its own website. When the head of dining services at the University saw a TCFT sticker up in a bathroom in his local coffee shop (posted, no doubt, by a guerrilla TCFT participant!), he ended up back on this blog, where he was able to read up on the the long (and growing!) list of Universities (and businesses, and K-12 schools!) deploying TCFT stickers.
He sent an email to the head of facilities for the whole University, and just like that, UAF will be posting TCFT stickers on all of their paper towel dispensers, throughout the University. How cool is that?
Talk about a perfect case study of how "It only takes one"--a single sticker in the right place, in front of the right person can totally blow things wide open!
When I finally make it up to Alaska, it'll make me happy to know that TCFT is already thriving up there in the great white north.

I wish UCLA would do the same. I've seen a few stray stickers here and there but no big campus-wide effort, even though they do all kinds of advertising about how they're "going green." Here are some of our HUGE strides...we used to leave the computers on overnight in all the computer labs, now they're turned off! Why didn't anyone think of that before?
...That's pretty much it.
I just bought some stickers and enlisted my boyfriend to help stick them in the men's rooms. I'm pretty sure I'll end up buying more and going on my own crusade to every bathroom on campus to stick them up. WAY too many times I've seen girls rip out five feet of paper towel, only to use the delicate tip. A forest dies every time UCLA students go to the bathroom.
Thanks for making these stickers.

On Dec. 9, the U.S. Department of Defense announced its decision to base many of its new F-35 fighter jets in South Carolina. Two training squadrons and three operational squadron, almost 90 new jets, have been designated for Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.
That's great news, especially given South Carolina's current economy. The new jets will mean hundreds of new jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in new construction projects for the state.

See more tornado coverage from CNN affiliate WFAA in Dallas, Texas.
(CNN) -- Authorities in northeast Texas were assessing damage Monday morning after a tornado destroyed homes, knocked train cars off their tracks and injured at least four people.
Five homes in Rice, Texas, were destroyed as 125 mph winds whipped through a seven-mile swath of Navarro County Sunday evening, said Eric Meyers, the county's emergency management coordinator.
Meyers rode out the tornado inside a vehicle and videotaped the twister as it tore the roof off a school about a block away.
"We are in the tornado! We are in the tornado!" Meyers yells several times in the video.
"The sheer power was just amazing," Meyers said in an interview Monday on CNN's "American Morning" program.
The storm, which struck around 5:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. ET), also turned over an 18-wheeler truck onto a passenger car, knocked 11 cars from a freight train off their tracks and caused extensive damage to Rice Elementary School, Navarro County Chief Deputy Mike Cox said.
Video: 'People screamed, cried, and prayed' as tornado passed
Four people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries, he said.
In addition to "significant damage" from the storm moving through Navarro County, witnesses also reported possible tornadoes in other parts of northeast Texas Sunday evening, the National Weather Service said.
Callers reported four tornadoes in Lone Oak, Texas, Fire Chief Chris Moore said, but authorities had not yet confirmed whether a twister had touched down there. The storm destroyed one home, damaged three others and knocked down power lines there, Moore said.
Authorities called off a youth football game as winds picked up speed and hail pelted the county, he said.

Sonia Butler hunkered down in the bathroom of her Rice home with her brother as the storm hit.
"You could just hear the wind coming through the house and it felt like a big suction," she told CNN affiliate WFAA. "And then it sounded like a loud train, and it only lasted -- not very long, but after that, after we came out of the restroom, our house was just gone."
Her husband, Raymond Butler, sought shelter in another part of the home as the storm hit.
The room he stayed in remained untouched, but the storm demolished most of their home, ripping off the roof, shattering light bulbs and breaking their deceased daughter's track trophies.
The storm also destroyed two trucks, a trailer, and a giant pecan tree on the property -- but it spared the grave of their daughter, who died last year.
"I just got down on my knees and said, 'Lord be with us,' " Raymond Butler told WFAA.
Joey Romero, 24, said he and his girlfriend rode out the storm in the freezer of a Sonic restaurant at a service station in Rice.
They were driving from Dallas to Houston when it started to hail, he said.
"We pulled over under some covering. Hail the size of golf balls started falling. Then, we saw hail the size of baseballs," he said.
Someone screamed when they saw a funnel forming behind Sonic, he said. The wind roared and the station lost power.
"The first few seconds it was all sort of surreal. I couldn't really believe it was happening. ... We all walked back in the freezer. It was cold in there and there wasn't light and people were starting to cry," he said.
The hail shattered car windows, Romero said. The second-year medical student at University of Texas, Houston, said he helped treat injuries. A police officer told him a truck and a car had flipped over on the highway.
After several hours, Romero was on the road back to Houston late Sunday.
"Even now, we can see the storm off to the east of us. The sky is pitch black," he said.
Later Sunday, a possible tornado swept through Baldwin County, Alabama, knocking down power lines and tree branches, destroying a mobile home and shifting another mobile home off its foundation, said Leigh Ann Ryals with the county's Emergency Operations Center.
One person was injured, Ryals said, and crews planned to continue surveying damage Monday.
CNN's Jacqui Jeras, Catherine E. Shoichet, Jessica Jordan, Rick Martin and Leslie Tripp contributed to this report.

LONDON/LISBON — Portugal's slide towards becoming the next Greece — needing a second bailout to avoid chaotic bankruptcy — geared up a notch on Monday as untrusting underwriters hiked the cost of insuring Lisbon's bonds to new highs and insisted it be paid up front.
Business and consumer confidence also hit record lows, the latter battered by the lower salaries and across-the-board tax hikes that were part of Portugal's painful austerity programme.
Banks and others offering default insurance to holders of Portuguese sovereign debt have begun demanding huge up-front payments rather than allowing costs to be spread over the term of the contract.
On Monday, this meant that it cost a whopping 3.95 million euros to insure 10 million euros in bonds over five years, payable now.
It made Portugal the second-highest sovereign to insure in the world, after Greece, and implied a huge lack of confidence in market circles about Lisbon's future.
Portuguese bonds have come under particularly intense pressure from investors after Standard & Poor's downgraded 15 eurozone countries earlier in January, putting Portugal in the "junk" category.
That shuts it out from tapping capital markets in the forseeable future and makes its task of meeting future debt repayments tough.
Portugal's already soaring 10-year bond yields surged on Monday to just under 16%, more than twice the level that is generally considered unsustainable.
This all adds up to expectations that Lisbon will have to get a second bailout from the European Union and International Monetary Fund to go with the 78 billion euro package it has already been handed.
There is also increasing concern that Portugal will be forced to restructure its debt like Greece, even though its debt levels of around 105% of gross domestic product are much lower than Greek ones.
The decline in business and consumer confidence reflected both Portugal's dire economic condition and the pain of austerity imposed as a condition of the first bailout.
The economic climate indicator, which measures business confidence, slumped to minus 4.7 in January from minus 4.4 in December, the National Statistics Institute said. A year ago it stood at plus 1.6.
INE said its consumer confidence indicator fell to a negative reading of 57.1 in January – also the lowest on record – after minus 56.8 in December.
"For consumers, we couldn't expect anything else, the start of the year brought more unemployment and higher taxes and obviously that is reflected in confidence," said Filipe Garcia, economist at Informacao de Mercados Financeiros.
Meanwhile, the demand for so-called up-front payments on bond insurance policies, or credit defaults swaps (CDS) showed a growing distrust among banks of Portugal's ability to pay its debts.
Prices are quoted up front when they reach extreme levels and require the buyer of protection to pay a single lump sum instead of annual premiums.
Up-front payments for Greece began in September last year.
If quoted on a normal annual payment basis, the CDS premium on Portugal would be around 1,428 basis points, or 1.4 million euros a year for 10 million euros in insurance.
That compares to just 90 basis points or the equivalent German bond insurance.
But the banks want it up front now.

Asmodee released another 7 Wonders expansion this weekend and this one requires some heavy labor. 7 Wonders: Babel contains two separate gaming expansions that can be added singularly are together. First, is the tower component, which adds an extra beginning drafting phase. During this phase, players draft tower tiles, each of which features a special law that affects all players. Second, are a set of law cards that tax players for using certain colored cards.
It wandered in out of the cold, a cigarette hanging from its box lid, a fedora covering its corner. Ace Detective was its name. A storytelling card game in the vein of Once Upon a Time, Ace Detective has players utilizing plot cards to tell a group narrative. Each turn players lay down story cards in an attempt to keep the yarn flowing, but must battle against each other to take control of the plot's direction. And, if you can't tell from the title, Ace Detective is all noir, all the time.
Another in Settlers of Catan line of standalone spin-offs, Catan: Ancient Egypt pairs the same great Catan mechanics with an Egyptian setting. Oxcarts are used to move resources like papyrus, stone, and cattle from town to town. This standalone edition also features two alternate play scenarios, increasing the replay value of the game and keeping players interested.
As Sauron's forces draw ever closer, the fellowship must venture into the mines of Celebrimbor to discover the only three rings of power untouched by the dark lord. This is the story for Lord of the Rings Celebrimbor's Secret, the newest Adventure Pack for the LotR LCG. Adding sixty new cards to the game, Celebrimbor's Secret includes Galadriel as a playable hero character.
With the holidays just around the corner, Magic the Gathering has, for the second year in a row, released a special gift box to ease your shopping distress. The Khans of Tarkir Holiday Gift Box is an inexpensive 2000 count card box that also happens to contain four Khans booster packs, special card dividers, stickers to personalize the dividers, land, and a special promo card. Check your favorite Magic player off your "To Buy" list.
Nearing closer to the newest My Little Pony booster pack set, Enterplay has released their equivalent of an MtG Fat Pack. The MLP Celestial Solstice box contains materials for two players, including a twenty-four card pack of rare, foil promos, three Premiere Edition boosters, three Canterlot Nights boosters, and a durable card box.
The popular Pandemic strain of virus fighting cooperative games has mutated this weekend. Pandemic: The Cure is a dice variation of the original game, converting all the regular mechanics to dice rolls. Each player still takes on a different role, now represented by a unique set of dice. The outbreak is also represented by dice, which are rolled, then placed on the gaming board. A quicker variation of the original, Pandemic: The Cure can be set-up and played in around thirty minutes.
With Godzilla and Pacific Rim recently stomping all over movie theaters, Kaiju in demand. Rarrr!!! is a drafting card game that answers that demand, giving players the chance to control powerful, monstrous creatures. Broken into two drafting rounds and a bidding round, players first build and power their monster, then use the power cards they've attained to outbid others in an effort to destroy the most buildings.
The first release in a series of board games given the seal of approval by Dice Tower, Sheriff of Nottingham puts players into the roles of Nottingham's merchants and the greedy Sheriff, himself. Each turn players attempt to enter the city with various goods and products for sale. However, they may choose to mix legal and illegal products together in their carts. But, beware, the Sheriff will be allowed to pick through each merchant's stash and weed out items or punish players.
Both a drafting and Push-Your-Luck game, Till Dawn is a vampire game with style. Contained within a creatively designed coffin-shaped box, Till Dawn has players taking over the role of a horde of competitive vampires. Over the course of three rounds, players pass around a deck of cards, drawing one, then following its command. The goal is to collect the most blood tokens and return to your coffin before the sun rises, but vampire hunters and other obstacles can make that a difficult possibility.
A short and sweet expansion, Titanium Wars: Confrontation adds some appealing extras to the base game. Included within this expansion are new arsenal cards, planets, leaders, and events, as well as cards that replace previous cards. In addition, Confrontation includes a Versus Mode variation that can be played individually or in teams.
Stefan Feld, game designer for Bora Bora and Bruges, releases a new game this weekend entitled Trajan. Players attempt to build-up their own corner of Rome through the use of special ability tiles. Tiles are distributed around the table through a special mechanic where they are placed in bowls, then used by each player strategically.
The first expansion for Robinson Crusoe, Voyage of the Beagle is here!
Containing a set of original scenarios that can be paired with the base game to extend its playability, each of these scenarios link together, serializing events so that what occurred during the last play session remains into the next session.

HILLSVILLE –– A loss is a loss, but Carroll County did its image – and perhaps more importantly, its self-image – some good last week.
Taking Basset down to the wire before falling 17-14 on a last-second field goal last week, the Cavaliers probably opened some eyes around the Southwest District, and probably boosted their self-confidence in the process.
"We were really getting after it defensively," Carroll County coach Tom Hale said. "I thought our kids played really well. But we made a few mistakes that came back to get us."
One of those areas for improvement would be open-field tackling. Not the type of thing you'd want to be unsure of when facing a guy like Jacob Reynolds.
Friday, Reynolds will lead Patrick County to Tommy Thompson Field as Carroll County looks to get in the win column against its second Piedmont District foe in as many weeks.
"They've got the Reynolds kid back at quarterback, and that pretty much sums it all up," said Hale. "I think last year he put up 300 yards on us, and we eked out a win on them. But he is one heck of an athlete and we've got to contain him."
'Eking out a win' is putting it mildly. Had it been a college or NFL game, last year's finish would have forever had a title, such as 'The Stunner in Stuart,' or 'The Fairystone Freak,' or, for Cougars fans, 'The Claudville Calamity.'
The Cavaliers trailed 27-14 before scoring with a little more than three minutes to play. Still down 27-21 with 71 yards to cover and less than a minute to do so, Carroll County tied the game with a 51-yard Blake Bowman-to-Tyler Reavis touchdown pass. With zeroes on the clock, Mason King booted the PAT for the win.
The miracle finish was necessary largely due to Reynolds, who ran for 123 yards and three touchdowns.
"We can't let it be third and long and let him get loose on us, which happened quite often last year," Hale said. "From what we've seen on film, in all of their scrimmages and in their benefit game and in their first game last week, he's the guy who keeps them in it."
Reynolds ran for two touchdowns and threw for another as the Cougars rallied from a 20-0 second-quarter deficit and into a 21-20 fourth-quarter lead Friday, only to fall to North Stokes, N.C. 26-21.
As will be the case most of the year, the Cavaliers will be outsized up front again this week.
"Up front they're big," Hale said. "They're always big. Big ol' boys up front on both sides of the ball."
Facing an even larger size disadvantage last week, Carroll's line earned nothing but praise from Hale.
"I thought those guys up front went after it really, really hard," he said. "There are lots of things we can improve on, but man, the effort was really there. They didn't let the fact that we have 170-pound guards and centers deter our kids at all."
The size advantage carries over to Jalen Reynolds, a runningback whom Hale estimates to be in the 250-pound range. But with Patrick fielding newcomers at eight positions, the key will be containing Jacob Reynolds.
"You can't design a defense where you're not going to have at times kids that have to make plays one-on-one," Hale said. "I wish we could figure that out, but numerous times last year, and in our game Friday, we had kids in a one-on-one situation, and they've got to make those plays. We've got to do a better job this week."

When it comes to the outcome of Seahawks receiver Percy Harvin's second opinion on the torn labrum in his hip, the flow of information has gone to less than a trickle.
And that may not be good news for the team and the player.
Though we don't know anything about what happened when Harvin exercised his right to a second opinion on Tuesday, anything other than an announcement that Harvin won't need surgery easily can be interpreted that Harvin does need surgery, and that everyone involved is opting for silence while they trying to figure out how to proceed.
It's also possible that the recommendation from Dr. Bryan Kelly was for surgery, and that ultimately Harvin may decide not to start his time in Seattle by going under the knife. Until he makes a decision, there's no reason for anyone involved to say anything.
And so everyone involved is saying nothing. And the silence quickly has become deafening. It could only be a matter of time before we all find out that, indeed, Harvin will have surgery to repair the slight labrum tear in his hip.

Video is a catalyst for changing distance and virtual learning
Technology is changing the way we view both distance and virtual learning; they no longer need to be solo activities in which learners struggle to make sense of a text, or watch a documentary in isolation with nobody nearby to share and interact with their interpretation or help to critique it. One catalyst is video technologies – in both recorded and live formats and they are transforming the way learners engage with their teachers, their peers and the world to provide for a more collaborative, informed and authentic education. This does not preclude solitary working but, instead, offers the learner choice – choice as to whether they learn on their own or with others, either close by or at a distance. Learners choose whether to attend in person, from their home or another location via virtual classrooms or videoconference, or to catch up later by listening to a podcast or watching a video of the session – along with all the discussion, questions asked and responses given. They add their own responses by tagging the recording and ask further questions, point to resources that refute or validate a theory a teacher has proposed, and generally catch up with, and maybe go beyond the content their teacher or external expert has presented to develop a unique understanding of the subject which they then share back with the group.
Additionally, students are able to select resources to learn from in the formats that suit them best. Some may prefer to read and think about what they have read then discuss it with others. They may choose to discuss it in real time through text, voice, video, or in person, or asynchronously in a discussion forum with others. Others may chose to discuss some ideas first to clarify their thoughts and then follow up with readings and more discussion; while others may prefer to watch or listen to a lecture on the subject before doing any of the above. There are a myriad of ways in which learners access knowledge and assimilate it in ways that may be useful now or at a later date.
As distance and virtual learning become increasingly collaborative, the old models of static text and online multiple-choice assignments will start to disappear. They will be replaced by multimodal resources and new opportunities to demonstrate understanding, both collectively and individually, through selecting the tools and resources that demonstrate their understanding of that subject best – this might be a wiki, an essay, an animation, a set of images, a podcast, a video, or a web page that uses more than one of these media.
Collaboration is at the heart of most successful organisations. Workers need to collaborate more and more as they learn to do their job and improve the profitability and/or effectiveness of the organisation as it becomes more complex, more global and as the knowledge needed to keep up with the ever-changing economy expands. No one person will be able to do their job without the support of others. Why is it that education has not changed and developed good models of collaboration for students to take with them and adapt to the work place. Why is so much still emphasis placed on the achievements of an individual learning in isolation? Don't get me wrong, we need to know what an individual knows and how they apply that knowledge, but surely students need to be able to work on their own and in teams and we need to find ways to measure the latter.
Distance and virtual learning is a good place to start – the model can then be developed for blended learning to include the physical learning spaces within educational institutions giving rise to a new implementation of learning blend. We have so many good collaboration tools at our disposal that leaning need no longer be a solitary activity, unless we want it to be, and collaboration need no longer be just an aysnchronous activity, nor a text-based activity. Video and audio tools abound and virtual learning takes on new forms. Perhaps we need a new term to best describe this new form of multi-modal, synchronous learning? How about "HD learning?
This post is taken from the chapter I have written with Richard Jones for a forthcoming book, The new educational development paradigm, to be published by Peter Lang, New York in December 21012 or January 2013

BERKELEY — A motorcyclist killed Wednesday after being struck by a car at Shattuck Avenue and Rose Street was identified as 32-year-old Stephan Jarjisian of Berkeley, the Alameda County Coroner's Office said Thursday.
Berkeley police spokeswoman Jennifer Coats said Jarjisian died after being taken to an area hospital.
Coats said the female driver of the car was not injured and is cooperating with investigators. The driver was given a blood test following the crash, but drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a factor, she said.
Coats said investigators have not yet determined which directions the driver of the car or the motorcyclist were heading in when the collision occurred, and they continue to investigate.

The Devil I will leave strictly alone. The association between him and me in the public mind has already gone quite as deep as I would wish: in some quarters it has already reached the level of confusion, if not of identification. -- C.S Lewis "The Inner Ring"
According to the Bible, the first man and the first woman lived in a garden. God gave them only one rule:
"You are free to eat from any tree in the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it, you will surely die."
But there's also a Talking Beast in the garden(1). The Beast misquotes the rule, and thereby hugely extends YHWH's list of prohibited substances:
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say 'You must not eat from any tree in the Garden?' "
You may eat of any tree except... You may not eat of any tree. The serpent knew that you only need to change a couple of words to turn a text on its head. He knew that in the presence of a misquotation, people very rarely go back and check the original. And he knew that if you repeat them often enough and confidently enough, the misquoted words will eventually become better known than the real ones.
2: Being for The Benefit of Mr Pullman.
Phillip Pullman writes books. Some children seem to like them, which is nice; and so do some adults, which is okay. His books are better written than J.K Rowling's, although they don't sell nearly so many copies.
J.K Rowling's books have been turned into hugely successful movies, with the result that she is richer than the Queen. Phillip Pullman's books have been turned into very serious plays by the English National Theater, with the result that he is admired by the Times Literary Supplement and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
"His Dark Materials" has been compared with C.S Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia" because it is a serious tale with literary and mythological allusions which uses symbolism to deal with profound religious questions. "Harry Potter" has been compared with the "Chronicles of Narnia" because there are seven books in the series.
When people ask Phillip Pullman what he thinks of C.S Lewis he always gives the same answer:
"Susan isn't allowed into the stable
"And it is a god who hates life because he denies children life. In the final Narnia book he gives the children the end-of-term treat of being killed in a railway accident so they can go to heaven. It's a filthy thing to do. Susan is shut out from salvation because she is doing what every other child who has ever been born has done - she is beginning to sense the developing changes in her body and its effect on the opposite sex."
J.K Rowling doesn't dislike C.S Lewis and God nearly as much Phillip Pullman does. After all, her books outsell Lewis's and she's richer than God. But her comments about Narnia have an oddly familiar ring:
"There comes a point where Susan, who was the older girl, is lost to Narnia because she becomes interested in lipstick. She's become irreligious basically because she found sex...I have a big problem with that."
Recently, the newspapers have been talking about C.S Lewis, because there is a new movie coming out, starring New Zealand and a computer. These articles become rather repetitive after a while.
"The reason Lewis gives for (Susan's) exclusion from paradise is that "she likes lipstick and nlyons and invitations". To Pullman this has suggested that Lewis considered a girl reaching sexual maturity to be such a terrible thing she should be banished to hell." (Times)
"Pullman has often spoken of his disgust at the exclusion of Susan from paradise at the end of the stories. She has started to become, not a sexless angel, but a young woman interested in evil snares such as "nylons and lipsticks and invitations." (Independent)
It's clear that nylons and lipstick are the most important things about which C.S Lewis ever wrote, and the offending passage deserves the closest possible analysis. It occurs at the end of chapter 12 of "The Last Battle", which is the final book in the Narnia series regardless of what order you read them in. Seven of the protagonists from the previous books have been re-united in Aslan's country, which they have entered through a magical doorway in Narnia.
"Sir," said Tirian, when he had greeted all these. "If I have read the chronicles aright, there should be another. Has not your Majesty two sisters? Where is Queen Susan?"
"My sister Susan," answered Peter shortly and gravely, "Is no longer a friend of Narnia."
"Yes," said Eustace, "and whenever you've tried to get her to come and talk about Narnia or do anything about Narnia, she says 'What wonderful memories you have! Fancy you still thinking about all those funny games we used to play when we were children.' "
"Oh Susan!" said Jill "She's interested in nothing nowadays except nylons and lipstick and invitations. She always was a jolly sight too keen on being grow-up."
"Grown-up, indeed," said the Lady Polly. "I wish she would grow up. She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. Her whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one's life as quick as she can and then stop there as long as she can."
"Well, don't let's talk about that now," said Peter.
Can you see what has happened?
Lewis: "She's interested in nothing except nylons and lipstick and invitation."
Pullman: She's become far too interested in nylons and lipstick and invitations.
Rowling: She's lost to Narnia because she likes lipstick
Times: She's excluded from paradise because she likes nylons and lipsticks and invitations.
Independent: She's interested in evil snares such as nylons and lipsticks and invitations.
The sin of "liking nothing except lipstick..." has become the sin of liking it too much, which has become the sin of liking it at all. Finally, lipstick has become an intrinsic evil. It's rather as if you had read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and concluded that, since the White Witch uses Turkish Delight to bribe Edmund to betray his siblings, Lewis thinks that confectionery is a great evil.
Pullman, to be fair, is trying to make a sophisticated point. He doesn't say that, in the story itself, Susan's sexual maturity causes her to stop being a friend of Narnia. Rather, he thinks that the story allows us to to infer things about C.S Lewis's unconscious attitude to sex. This game - discovering feelings that writers didn't know they had on the basis of things they didn't say - is great fun, and anyone can play it. (There's is a bit-part player in "Prince Caspian" called Mrs Prizzle. Well then, the fact that Lewis chose this name proves that he had an unconscious desire to spank women using the penis of a bull (2). See how easy it is?)
But Rowling and the two journalists have not understood Pullman's subtle point about Lewis's unconscious motivations. They've reproduced his comments without going back and checking the book. As a result "Susan is sent to hell as a punishment for her sexuality" has become one of those things which "everybody knows".
Did God really say...? Did God really say....?
3: What did C.S Lewis say about lipstick?
Lady, a better sculptor far
Chiseled those curves your smudge and mar,
And God did more than lipstick can
To justify your mouth to man -- 'Epigrams and Epitaphs'
It is probably fair to say that Lewis did not spend much of his career thinking about lipstick. Women have been painting their mouths since ancient times; Desmond Morris helpfully points out that artificially reddened lips resemble a vagina and are therefore very sexually arousing to men. But modern "lipstick" was first sold in 1915, when Lewis was 17. Obviously, women's tights couldn't have been made from nylon until the 1930s; but once they became available, they were greatly preferred to the unattractive and inconvenient cotton variety. "Nylons" were hard to come by and therefore greatly sought after during the war and into the 1950s. (In the film "Vera Drake" one pair of nylons is swapped for eight packets of cigarettes.) Lewis must have regarded both of them as relatively new-fangled items.
Lewis may not have quite approved of women's make up in general. Arguing that something is not necessarily important because it is in a newspaper, he remarks in passing that "a very commonplace protest against make-up would be News if it came from a film star."("Letters to Malcolm" XXII) So he evidentially thought that disapproving of cosmetic products was a unremarkable thing to do.
Perhaps this simply shows that Lewis was a little old fashioned, and still believed, like his Victorian parents tthat make-up was appropriate for prostitutes and actresses, but not respectable women. But he also felt that the cosmetics and fashion industries "manipulated" men's sexual tastes and encouraged women to aspire to an imaginary idea of "beauty" that it's impossible to live up to.
It's all a fake, of course, the figures in the popular art are falsely drawn; the real women in bathing suits or tights are actually pinched in and propped up to make them appear firmer and more slender and more boyish than nature allows a full grown woman to be. ("Screwtape Letters" XX)
Feminists would probably agree with him about the falsification of women's bodies for commercial ends; although they might doubt whether the Devil is creating "the beauty myth" in order to stop people from marrying the partners with whom "spiritually helpful, happy and fertile marriages are most likely." (Screwtape is, incidentally, very proud of the fact that most women now dislike men with beards. "There is more in this than you might think." Occasionally, Lewis says something so off-the-wall that I actually can't imagine what he means.)
So, 'she likes lipstick and tights' doesn't mean 'she wants to look nice and attract men'. It means 'she wants silly, expensive, new-fangled consumer goods in order to conform with what the fashion industry says is pretty this season.' Do Pullman and Rowling have an – er – unconscious belief that the only way a person can make themselves look nice is by buying stuff? That would amuse Screwtape no end.
4: What did C.S Lewis say about heaven and hell?
"It's all in Plato; all in Plato, bless me what do they teach them in these schools." -- "The Last Battle".
Lewis believed in a literal heaven and (up to a point) a literal hell. He also believed in purgatory, but let's not worry about that for the time being. He thought that whenever you desire something on earth, you are really desiring heaven; but that nothing on earth can ever really satisfy that desire. He believed that if you love heaven more than anything else, you will in fact, go to heaven; but if you love anything more than heaven, then you won't.
The idea that we should desire heaven and nothing else could be very austere and puritanical. Pullman, typically, says that it is a life-hating creed. In fact, the opposite is true. Lewis can come across as almost cloyingly romantic. He rejects asceticism, the idea that they material world is evil and we should turn away from it and seek heaven. The material world is good, because it is heaven's reflection. His image of "visionary gleams" shining on us from another world is pure Wordsworth:
"There have been times when I think that we do not desire heaven; but more often I have found myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desire anything else?....All the things that have ever deeply possessed your soul have been but hints of it -- tantalising glimpses, promises never quite fulfilled, echoes that died away just as they caught your ear.("The Problem of Pain" )
For Lewis, of course, these glimpses and promises came through Wagner, William Morris and the landscape of Southern Ireland; but he quite acknowledges that other people experience "joy" through different things -- through sport, or gardening, or hobbies such as woodworking or sailing. These are all Good Things. In "The Last Battle" it is strongly implied that Edmund is a railway enthusiast, and it isn't remotely suggested that this innocent pleasure is a barrier to him coming back to Narnia. They only become Bad Things when you start to love them instead of heaven. For Lewis, literally anything apart from heaven is an evil if it is allowed to become an end in itself, rather than the means to an end. The devil in Screwtape doesn't remotely care whether human beings are soldiers or pacifists, provided soldiering or pacifism become more important to them than heaven. Even love, according to Lewis, "ceases to a be a demon only when it ceases to be a God."
This idea is absolutely central to Lewis's thinking. You mustn't confuse means with ends; you mustn't confuse copies with realities; you mustn't confuse reflections for the original; you mustn't confuse a secondary, partial good with a primary or total good. "You can't get second things by putting them first; you can get second things only by putting first things first." The idea pops up over and over again in different forms. He says that classical Paganism was a Good Thing in so far as it was a reflection or shadow of Christianity; but a bad thing otherwise. He say that, as a little boy he used to snaffle his father's tobacco, and because he wasn't an experienced smoker, came away with the idea that cigars are a second rate substitute for cigarettes. He says that the human race is like an ignorant child preferring to carry on making mud-pies in a slum because he has no conception of what is meant by a holiday at the seaside.
"The woman who makes the dog the center of he life loses, in the end, not only her human useful and dignity but even the proper pleasures of dog-keeping. The man who makes alcohol his chief good loses not only his job but his palate and all power of enjoying the earlier (and only pleasurable) levels of intoxication ....If Esau really got the pottage in return for his birthright, then Esau was a lucky exception."
To be damned, then, means to turn away from heaven and instead pursue some little earthly substitute -- which can't, by definition, have satisfy you. Hell is populated by little people who have become so atrophied as human beings that they have become incapable of wanting any kind of happiness. On no possible view does Lewis send Susan to hell as a punishment for liking lipstick. He may, however, define hell as "That state in which you would rather have pretty red lips than be Queen of Narnia."
5: What happens to Susan?
"I think that there are in the end only two kinds of people: those who like happiness, and those who really don't"
It is untrue to say that Aslan expels Susan from Narnia. Susan isn't present at Polly and Diggory's re-union dinner; presumably, because she choses not to be there. Since she isn't there, she doesn't witness the the phantom of King Tirian calling for aid. Therefore, she doesn't play any part in the scheme to recover the magical rings; so the isn't on the train which crashes, so she doesn't die. Since she isn't dead she doesn't go to heaven.
It is also quite untrue to say that Susan is sent to hell. By the end of the book Narnia has come to an end, and all the Narnian talking animals have been judged by Aslan. Those which don't please him are turned into dumb beasts, and disappear into Aslan's shadow. This is a sort of Narnian last judgment. But there's no hint that Susan has met this kind of fate. Our world hasn't yet come to an end; and Susan is presumably still alive and will have every opportunity of coming to Aslan's country by a more circuitous route. (When Lucy asks Aslan if he will tell her how to get into his country from our world, he replies "I shall be telling you all the time".)
Susan is not blamed for becoming an adult. We are told that of the seven "friends", only Jill and Eustace are young enough to be at school. It follows that Lucy, the youngest of the Pevensies must be at least 16 when she comes to Aslan's country. In fact, according to Lewis's "Outline of Narnian History" Peter is 22, Susan is 21, Edmund is 19 and Lucy is 17. So Aslan can hardly be singling Susan out because she has hit puberty.
Certainly we are told that children beyond a certain age can't enter Narnia; this is why the younger Eustace and Jill encounter King Tirian in the "old" Narnia, but the other four only see him in Aslan's country(3). However, this exclusion from Narnia does not represent any kind of punishment or loss of paradise. On the contrary, they are being sent back to their own world to learn to know Aslan under a different name and so find their way back to his country. (Lucy, incidentally, has taken this seriously: when she is shown the magic stable which in some way contains Aslan's country she immediately says "In our world too, a stable once had something in it that was bigger than the whole world": the only explicit reference to Christ in the whole saga.)
Granted, Jill says that Susan is "too keen on being grown up." (Not "grown up" or "keen on being grown up" but too keen on being grown up.) But Jill is herself still a child. Polly, a very old lady, corrects her immediately and says Susan's problem is not maturity but immaturity. ("Grown-up, indeed... I wish she would grow up.") Polly thinks that Susan was the kind of school girl who would rather have been in her 20s, and will carry on behaving like a 20 year old when she is 50.
So, we are left with the actual reasons that Lewis gives for Susan's absence from Aslan's country:
1: She denies that she ever really came to Narnia; she says that her experiences there were only part of a game that she and her siblings used to play as children.
2: She is interested in consumer beauty products and parties to the exclusion of everything else.
3: She is an air-head, fixated with staying at a "silly age", probably 21.
Susan has lived in Narnia; she has reigned as Queen of Narnia during its golden age. She and Lucy have had an intimacy with Aslan that ever Peter does not experience(4). She comforted Aslan during his agony before going to the Stone Table, and he let her stroke his mane. After his resurrection, she celebrated with him and he let her ride on his back. However, she now denies that any of this ever happened, and instead seeks joy exclusively through beauty products. Pullman wants us to believe that "Susan became interested in lipstick, and is therefore thrown out of Narnia." I think Lewis is really saying "Susan ceased to love Narnia, and therefore, became a pathetic figure -- a woman of 50, trying to be a girl of 21, capable of loving nothing apart from lipstick."
Susan is committing Lewis's cardinal sin: getting confused about what is real and what not. She choses to believe that Narnia is only a play-world, something which she and her three siblings made up. This reminds us of the scene in "The Silver Chair" where the Witch imprisons Prince Rillian in a cave and tries to convince him that there is nothing outside it: that Narnia was only ever a figment of his imagination. Indeed, there is a certain similarity between Susan's voice and that of the Witch:
'What wonderful memories you have! Fancy you still thinking about all those funny games we used to play when we were children.'
'Well, 'tis pretty make-believe thou to say truth it would suit you all better if you were younger. And look how you can put nothing into your make believe without copying it from the real world, this world of mine, which is the only world. As for you, My Lord Prince, thou art a man full grown. Fie upon you! Art thou not ashamed of such toys."
Prince Rillian is saved by Puddlegum who tells him that even if the Witch is right "the made up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones." Whether anyone wakes up Susan, we don't know.
Susan's state of mind is also an an ironic inversion of that of Peter and the others. Peter has discovered that Narnia is "not really real"; in the sense that it is only a shadow or reflection of the real Narnia in Aslan's kingdom. Susan thinks that Narnia is "not real", in the sense that it is something made up or copied from the real world. For Peter, Narnia is "not real" because there is something more substantial above it; for Susan is is "not real" because it was only ever a fantasy. Susan thinks that Narnia was "just a story"; from the point of view of Aslan's country, our world and Narnia are both just the first page of a story which is now beginning.
You might compare Susan's and Peter's perspectives to the contrasting viewpoints of "allegory" and "symbolism" suggest by "Lewis" in "The Allegory of Love". The allegorist takes something in a story to point to something in the world outside the story. ("The dragon represents the Spanish Armada"). The symbolist takes something in the real world to point to something outside it, ("The Pelican is a symbol of God's love.") "To the symbolist, it is we who are the allegory."
Lewis's parable is intended to provoke a response. Parables often work like that. They don't so much instruct us try to provoke us into seeing the point for ourselves. We listen to this part of the story and say – don't be absurd. No-one, having run their hands through Aslan's mane, could possibly decide that they prefer parties. Yes they could, says the story teller – and every day people give up heaven for equally trivial reasons -- sex, booze, money, power...
Even readers who don't share Lewis's conviction that there is a source of "joy" outside of the material world can surely go some way with him on this point. Doesn't most of the human race spend most of its time giving away things which they know will make them happy in return for things which they know will not?
6: ....and Finally.
At the end of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", the Pevensie children are crowned kings and queens of Narnia. For many years, they govern it along Tory lines:
They made good laws and kept the peace and saved good trees from being cut down, and liberated young dwarfs and young satyrs from being sent to school, and generally stopped busybodies and interferers and encouraged ordinary people who wanted to live and let live....And they themselves grew and changed as the years passed over them."
Peter becomes a "deep chested man and a great warrior". Edmund is a "graver and quieter man". And as for Susan -- the Susan who Lewis wants to keep as an infantilised, asexual angel; the Susan who Lewis blames for wanting to look pretty and damns for becoming sexual:
Susan grew into a tall and gracious woman with black hair that fell almost to her feet, and the king of the countries beyond the sea began to send ambassadors asking for her hand in marriage.
Game, set and match, I think
(1) Genesis does not say that the Serpent is Satan; although certain New Testament passages imply that he is. Much depends, therefore, on the order in which you chose to read the books of the Bible.
(2) No, seriously. See "The Skeleton in the Wardrobe" by David Holbroke. This book also proves that Aslan is an unconscious portrait of the sadistic schoolteacher described in "Surprised by Joy". Oldie had a beard; Aslan has a mane. Q.E.D (I will grant you that "Pizzle" is the dialect term used in "Tess of the D'Urbevilles" to describe the "characteristic part" of a male pig.)
(3) If we go by the ages in the "Outline", then 13 would seem to be the cut off point: since Edmund and Lucy are 10 and 12 at the end of "Dawn Treader" when they learn that they are becoming too old to return to Narnia. (Peter and Susan, who missed that trip, are 14 and 15.) But this makes Eustace a full 4 years younger than Lucy, which is hard to reconcile with the rest of "Dawn Treader."
(4) My forthcoming book "The Cair Paravel Code" will conclusively prove that Lucy was Aslan's consort and the mother of his cubs.

Night trippers: Did witches turn on?
DRAWING BY DEBORAH DERR McCLINTOCK
Q. What did the LSD acid-trippers of the 1960s have in common with "witches" of medieval Europe? –T. Leary
A. Both may have been "flying high" on varieties of alkaloids, a large group of plant compounds including piperine in pepper, capsaicin in chili peppers, and penicillin that can affect the central nervous system and are at times highly toxic, say Penny Le Couteur and Jay Burreson in Napoleon's Buttons: 17 Molecules that Changed History. Some of these naturally occurring compounds have been used as medicines for millennia and are in some modern pharmaceuticals.
But not the alkaloid-derivative lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), the "turn on, tune in, drop out" drug of the hippie generation, tried by Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman in the 1940s and described as inducing "a stream of fantastic pictures... an intense kaleidoscope of colors."
Then on a "bad trip" he became paranoid, babbled incoherently, and felt he had left his body. Next morning, he awoke feeling grateful to be back to normal.
Centuries earlier, the "witches" of Europe probably tripped on hallucinatory alkaloids– extracts of mandrake, belladonna, and henbane dissolved in oils, and rubbed on the body as salves, transdermal like today's nicotine patches. These "flying ointments" brought on sensations of falling, leaving one's body, euphoria, or hysteria, and finally a deep comalike sleep.
Life for women at the time was hard, with endless work and poverty, and little control over their destiny, say Le Couteur and Burreson. So riding the night skies to a gathering where fantasies were played out, then waking up in one's own bed must have been a welcome escape.
"Unfortunately, this often proved fatal, as many thousands of women who confessed to witchcraft were put to death."
Q. At a bar, some wiseacre challenges you to remember in order all the cards of a shuffled deck, citing Dominic O'Brien, who memorized 40 mixed decks on a single sighting, with only one mistake! "My memory's not that good," you admit. "Then how about your logic: If this here deck stands 1.3 centimeters high, how high will it be with all the kings removed? Here's a ruler to help you measure up. A pitcher of beer says you can't get this within a minute." –T. A. Kreskin
A. Time's a-ticking, but so is your cerebrum: You know the ruler's a ruse, figuring fast that with four cards removed out of 52, the deck would be 1/13th less, or 0.1 cm out of 1.3 cm, yielding 1.2 cm, says Clifford A. Pickover in Wonders of Numbers. Bring on the brew!
Q. Why are spices used so much more heavily in traditional dishes of countries like India, Thailand, Vietnam, Kenya, and the Philippines compared with those of Finland, Sweden, Norway or Poland? –S. Chinnaswamy
A. It is no accident that the greatest use is in the hottest countries, averaging 10 spices per meat dish in India vs. two in Finland, for example, say Cornell behavioral ecologist Paul W. Sherman and Samuel M. Flaxman in American Scientist. Before widespread availability of refrigeration and commercial food preservatives, spices were the way people protected themselves from food-borne illnesses and food poisoning, especially in meat dishes. This is because spices contain powerful antimicrobial chemicals– what gives each its unique aroma and flavor– killing 75-100 percent of food-borne microorganisms, experiments showed. Since meats spoil faster in hotter climates, it makes sense that here spices became the "hottest" commodities.

A Dallas wellness center is offering the answer to anyone looking for the highly-sought after "thigh gap."
CBS Dallas reports the wellness center Thrive uses Zerona, a cold laser therapy that shapes the body by breaking apart the outer layer of fat.
Reportedly, it requires several treatments before you see results. Thrive staff told one patient it would take six treatments before one patient could see that space between her inner thighs.
The "thigh gap" has been a controversial topic in relation to body image. Some see it as an ideal body feature while others decry it as an unnatural phenomenon that is damaging to young women's psyche.
Target was caught digitally altering a model, adding a thigh gap to make it appear the person wearing their clothes was thinner. The company has since apologized.
