re: Bush -
In a published biography of GHWB, he actually had a long time affair with a widow --I believe the couple had been friends of both George and Barbara, and after the husband died 41 had a long 'relationship' with the widow. Barbara was aware of the affair, published in well regarded biography —name escapes me at the moment. The important point is that George and Barbara stayed together and supported each other until the end. Also, the biography implied that the relationship was well known but kept quiet in high Republican circles.
re: Bush -
Your birth time of 10:30am is INCORRECT for Bush, SR. Isaac Starkman, official rectifier for ASTRODATABANK using 52 events has rectified his time of birth to 11:31:18 AM, Ascendant 8Virgo30, with Mercury, ruler 1st and 10th conjunct his MH. There's a reason why Starkman is Astrodatabank's official rectifier. Please submit another article with the correct birth time.
I'm using the time and chart provided by ADB and Starkman is not mentioned at all in the source notes, although 11:38 am is mentioned as a possible time. See for yourself:

That's great! Thanks for the data. We'll have an update on her chart soon.
Re: Buttigieg
- Like many, I just read the WP article on this young man from South Bend,
Indiana: Pete Buttigieg. What say the stars? I'm hoping they're more than hopeful. Thanks for your Monday morning enlightenment.
re: Pelosi
- What do you think of the fight between Godzilla/ Pelosi and Trump/ KingKong...how do these two find a wayout of this standoff... not really asking about the government shutdown(yes part of it) but more how these two tough peopleever get out of the mud and move things forward and even work together inthe future as it is still awhile till the next election in 2020.... concerning.Look forward to your thoughts
As I noted when I looked at Pelosi's chart a few weeks ago, his Mars squares her Mars. It's a classic ego conflict being played out on the national stage... But another look or perhaps deeper look is in order.
re: Pelosi
- I was looking for some glimmer of hope over time concerning the Pelosi-Trump standoff and I feel sadly this could be ...the long wait. Thanks for all you do with the great articles... really love them!
re: Gov't Shutdown
- The shutdown in 1995 presaged the fall of Newt Gingrich well before Clinton. Newt was out of the House speakership in late 1998, and out of the House in Jan 1999, all due to his own behaviors. He even took out the next speaker before he ever started, also because of affairs. Clinton, however, did finish his term. And even had positive polling approval after the impeachment.
re: Pelosi
- If Trump is ousted, and Pence with him, the leadership will fall to the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. Does she have the "right stuff" to connect with the US chart to become President?
Thanks for your thoughts. Always enjoy your Monday morning insights.
re: Ms. Wood
- I meant to write the minute I read your article on Ms. Wood. It gave me goosebumps to read it: what she experienced, the astrology correlated with it. Thank you for the work you do, the world is a richer place because of it.
re: Trump/Russia
- Trump acts like Putin's puppy. Russia's destiny drives Trump. I'm not suggesting/don't know that Trump is knowingly a Russian agent – but he is undoubtedly a Russian tool – Putin's useful idiot. Where's that weak spot in Trump's synastry?
Thinking out loud: It would make an utterly unforgettable historic study if you could now use that Russian chart to show the connections between Russia's "big transits/progressions' and Trump's pro-Russian decisions. If you could "front run" that analysis before Mueller publishes his report - and send it ahead of time to your contacts @ the NYTimes, Washington Post et al… well. That might be the best astrological prediction/analysis ever. Certainly for this century. And I think you'd be the right person to do this. The moment is now.
Thx for the suggestion. I've tried contacting both the NYTimes and WaPo in the past, and a few other reputable papers. They're of one mind in thinking that astrology is for entertainment purposes only, and they won't consider a more serious piece. In any case, the explanation for the Trump-Russia connection would be beyond mainstream readers' comprehension.
re: rapper
- Have you profiled Chance the Rapper (Chancellor Jonathan Bennett, born April 16, 1993 per Wikipedia) yet on Neptune Cafe? He's such a talented rapper but also a social justice warrior. He donated $1M to the Chicago school system and started a Twitter campaign to stop gun violence for 48 hours. His father worked for the Obama administration and some have called on Chance to enter politics. Do you see anything in his chart to indicate how he will grow in political stature and what role he might take? Thanks so much for giving me something to look forward to reading every week! I so appreciate you!
re: candidates
- Thanks for printing Ms. Harris' and Ms. Woods' time of birth. About the Kamala Harris article, you wrote: "Most significantly, her Gemini Ascendant conjoins the North Node at 25º Gemini, which is the only link she has to the U.S. Moon at 25º Aquarius." IMO, most astrologers would say her Saturn at 28+ AQ is conjunct the US Moon at 25+ AQ. Your insights into people, nations and events are always valued. Thank you.
Thx for the feedback. I use a tight orb of less than one degree to consider whether a candidate is resonating with the US Moon as a symbol for connecting with the American people and their needs. Greater than one degree doesn't make the cut, and this guideline can separate the wannabes from the real contenders, the winning candidates. It's a definitive way of differentiating between the Scorpio Rising and Sagittarius Rising national horoscopes.
re: Pelosi
- I'm increasingly believing that if another shutdown is to be averted, and/or anything gets done in DC, like holding the government together and forestalling Trump's worst foreign policy blunders, it will depend on Pelosi and McConnell achieving it through Congress. I know you've done reviews on each of them recently, but what about A) a comparison of their leadership styles, and/or B) a relationship chart for working together? Thanks as always for your insights.
NewsScope for February 25, 2019
By Michael Wolfstar
Top Five Astro-Events for March
1. Mercury turns retrograde on the 5th in the nebulous sign of Pisces, bringing confusion and contradictory stories through the 28th. Avoid signing any legal documents or otherwise making important arrangements since relevant information may be missing or incorrectly stated. This month Mercury abides by the inverted motto "believing is seeing". The most bewildering timeslot is at month's end when Mercury turns direct while conjoining Neptune: expect spontaneous and sudden changes of trend, opinion, and appearances.
2. Uranus enters Taurus on the 6th where it will remain until July 2025. Uranus, the Great Awakener, tends to upset everything that seems stable, traditional, reliable, and financially sound. The last time Uranus visited Taurus was during the Great Depression and WW2. Wherever Taurus is located in your chart is the department where you may expect the unexpected. The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in November 2020 squares Uranus, likely indicating a recession is on the horizon.
3. Saturn is parallel Pluto all month, with the exact hit coming on the 9th. This aspect is equivalent to a conjunction but takes place in latitude rather than zodiacal longitude. Expect power plays, scandals, huge deals and consolidating moves in government, military, corporate, and institutional settings. Saturn and Pluto have been parallel off and on since 2016, but now that transiting Saturn and Pluto are only 3º apart, the vibe is deeply intensified.
4. The Spring Equinox on the 20th sets the geopolitical tone for the coming year. With Neptune on the Descendant in the chart set for Washington (5:59 pm EDT), we can be sure a major scandal is afoot. This astro-event, also known as the Aries Ingress, takes place only a few hours before the Full Moon in Libra. Emotions are peaking and accurate information is at a premium. With the Sun conjunct Chiron, leadership looks wounded and acting out of sync.
5. Pluto conjoins the Moon's South Node this month (exact on the 28th), bringing potentially metamorphic changes on many levels. Those with planets at 21º-24º of any sign, but especially Cancer or Capricorn, will be the most influenced by this life-changing transit, especially concerning family dynamics. The U.S. Mercury at 24º Cancer is included, which indicates that historic news stories, reports, indictments, and other developments related to Mercury's symbolism are in the works.
re: Pluto Return
- Thanks for all you write. Ever since you said Hillary would not be President (in spite of my most fervent wishes and all those polls saying she was ahead) I totally trust your political assessments. Your column on the Pluto return is sobering to be sure. But there is another strain of conservatism that might need to be recognized. That of the government institutions, and the press, which are still doing their jobs, for the most part. One thing for sure, the American Empire (not that I really love that term) is going into eclipse, if not by being outstripped by the likes of China, India, or Europe, but because we haven't gotten our own house in order, and have let our worst characteristics run amok.
re: Pluto Return
- After reading a disgruntled reader's comments, I feel the need to offer my own.
I read your column every Monday, and send it along to several friends, including one who lives in France. We all appreciate the information coming through you from the configuration of the stars. I value the information you so generously pass along to us. The stars say it all and I appreciate you being the messenger. Many, many thanks and great gratitude,
re: Pluto Return
– I'm not fond of the term "American Empire", but doesn't the 6th house refer to the military? I think I would classify that as one of the institutions that might still be conservative in the institutional sense, not wanting to be over-extended or sent out on a fool's mission, as our history has too often done. But then we always need to be vigilant for military adventurism.
American Empire is a useful term, though I don't often bring it up. Yes, don't forget that the US has by far the most powerful military presence in history, with a budget that outspends the next top 12 to 17 nations (depending on who's reporting), and with troops in 170 nations on our planet. Yes, let's hope the institutional framework can hold strong against the various shenanigans perpetuated by both parties....
re: Pluto Return
- I respect your position as I do others who feel the same as you. I am sorry I was angry with you last week and I apologize. I had a feeling you would respond to my grumpiness through your weekly column in some fashion. This Pluto transit has been enlightening. It just makes me sad that the situation is what it is today at dinner tables all across America. Like Michael Lutin said in his various stories since 2007-2008 - it's the individual we elect in 2024
Thanks for your kind comments, they're much appreciated...
re: Pluto Return
- Thank you, once again for an informative morning read. Question: Is there any other candidate with as strong an astrological standing as Trump for the 2020 election; someone whose basket would deserve all the opposition's eggs? Also, regarding Pluto's return: Although we cannot see from past US "returns" what would have manifested with this event, are there instances in other countries/governments that may give us an idea of how this may be reflected in the US's future? You wrote "But major Pluto transits can bring horrific catastrophes, sending the nation back to its core values for the re-birth phase. What form will this Plutonian collapse take?" Could this be a new Revolution--the rise of the proletariat (pitch forks) against the wealthy? Or would the catastrophes be more physical than philosophical?
Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela's Dictator
The tendency for political power to become more centralized under the upcoming Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn has its most extreme form in dictatorships. Nowhere is this more evident than in Venezuela where Nicolas Maduro has ruled by decree for the last five years. His leadership has corresponded with a major decline in Venezuela's socioeconomic status, along with riots, hyperinflation, corruption, and a constitutional crisis.
Maduro was born with his Sun and Mercury conjunct in adventurous Sagittarius (November 23, 1962; 9:03 pm; Caracas), where they square a Jupiter-Uranus opposition. Jupiter adds self-importance and an inflated ego, while Uranus encourages him to operate beyond the traditional rule of law. The political asteroid Pallas at 22º Cancer conjoins his Ascendant, giving him a keen interest in political gamesmanship as a central component of his personality.
As Vice President under Hugo Chavez, Maduro assumed the presidency on March 5, 2013 when Chavez died. At the time, his progressed Sun was at 22º Capricorn, exactly opposite his Pallas. After a contested election in April he was granted special powers by the Venezuelan legislature on November 19, 2013. At the time, transiting Jupiter had arrived on his Ascendant, greatly expanding his role, and undermining normal constitutional practices.
And now, as Venezuela is facing intense pressure to allow international aid into the country, Maduro has closed the borders. Transiting Pluto has just reached 22º Capricorn, once again perfectly aligning with his Pallas/Ascendant. The political crisis recently became full-blown as transiting Uranus made an exact square to his progressed Sun at 28º Capricorn. Maduro shows how the 2020 Saturn-Pluto conjunction at 22º Capricorn acts as a magnet for authoritarian personalities and geopolitical events.
Zion Williamson and the Nike Shoe
Last Wednesday, in the most hyped NCAA college basketball game of the season, Duke star Zion Williamson was being closely watched as the likely No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft. Tickets were going for $2000 each, and the crowd was filled with celebrities including Barack Obama. But 36 seconds into the game, Zion planted his foot and went down: his Nike shoe had fallen apart.
Zion Williamson was born with a powerful Sun-Mars conjunction in the family sign of Cancer (July 6, 2000; Salisbury, NC; time unknown). Coming from a clan of athletes, he knew he wanted to be a professional basketball player by the time he was five years old. He got up every morning at 5:30 am to begin training, and by the time he was in high school, he was already on NBA scouts' radar.
Sports analysts describe him as a once-in-a-generation kind of athlete, on a par with Michael Jordan and LeBron James. With his Sun exactly opposite Black Moon Lilith, it's no wonder that his spectacular slam dunks and other on-court exploits are often referred to as magical and highly creative. Astrologically, the karmic lunar nodes were the most obvious indicators of this shoe mishap: Zion's South Node in the corporate sign of Capricorn conjoins Vesta, the asteroid associated with investments.
And on his North Node, he has Venus, indicating the likely financial benefit that would come his way once he began endorsing products as an NBA player. The stars were already aligning for this to happen: his growing athleticism, symbolized by his progressed Mars, was conjunct his progressed North Node at 24º Cancer and the transiting North Node, also at 24º Cancer. Transiting Venus, Saturn, and Pluto – all in Capricorn – were in opposition, creating this precarious interplay between college basketball and corporate sponsors.

text: Anyone ever see this shot on video slasher? Just checked it out today - pretty damn good. Really atmospheric with lots of impressionist slow motion during many of the deaths. The killer has one of those really creepy see through masks as well. While I thought stuff like Boardinghouse just sort of abused whatever video filter it could use, the effects here really fit and give the film a fitting and distinctive originality. Some good gore too. This is an example of how video can actually help the impact of a film. Definitely a lot better than I was expecting.

When I started writing children's books, they were for my own children. Since I never stop singing the praises of science, I wasn't much concerned about how scientifically literate they would be. But how am I doing outside my own family? I don't know! That's where you come it 😁

Quantum Entanglement for Toddlers
I wrote a book a while back called Quantum Entanglement for Babies. But, now all those babies are grown into toddlers! I've been asked what is next on their journey to quantum enlightenment. Surely they have iPads now and know how to scroll, and so I give you Quantum Entanglement for Toddlers, the infographic!

Entry Points for Learning Quantum Computing
Desiree Vogt-Lee maintains a list of quantum computing resources called Awesome Quantum Computing. It is indeed awesome and comprehensive. Here I am looking to answer the question where do I start with quantum computing? with a more concise list of my current favourite entry points.
But, before we get started, a general piece of advice if you want to study quantum computing (or anything else for that matter): learn more maths. More? Yes. More. It doesn't matter how much you already know. In fact, I'm going to go learn some more maths after writing out this list. (I'm not joking — the next tab in my browser is Agent-based model – Wikipedia.)
Now — in order of some sense of difficulty — here are my favourite recommendations for starting points on learning quantum computing.
The academically minded might be looking for a more traditional approach. Don't worry. Got that covered by Quantum Computer Programming, a course lectured at Stanford University. Other standard lecture notes include those by David Mermin and John Preskill. The former is more computer-sciencey while the latter is more physicsy.
If you want to do some real quantum programming, The Quantum Katas by Microsoft Quantum is a set of tutorials on quantum programming using the Q# programming language. While it does start with the basics, there is a steep learning curve for those without a background in programming.
Quantum computing for the very curious by Andy Matuschak and Michael Nielsen is like an electronic textbook with exercises that use spaced repetition to assist in remembering key facts. This is an experimental learning tool, which at the time of writing, is still under construction.
"Thinking Quantum": Lectures on Quantum Theory by Barak Shoshany is a set of about 16 hours worth of lecture notes which was delivered to highschool students at an international summer school. Though it is more focused on quantum physics, the first half will give you all the basic tools needed to start analysing quantum algorithms. It is quite mathematical so the reader would have to be comfortable with some mathematical abstraction. However, much of the field of quantum computing comes from a physics background and the ideas and language of quantum physics are pervasive.
The Quantum Quest by members of the QuSoft team is a web class which contains videos, lecture notes, and a pared down version of Quirk. It starts with the basics of probability and linear algebra and quickly gets you up and running with quantum circuits and algorithms.
Quirk by Craig Gidney is a quantum circuit simulator. It is incredible expressive and provides many useful visualisations. This tools is simple enough for anyone to start creating quantum circuits. However, interpreting the output does require some guidance and knowledge of probability.
If you prefer the video playlist approach, Quantum computing for the determined by Michael Nielsen is a series of short YouTube videos going over the basics of quantum information. However, if you are not putting pen to paper yourself, you are not likely to absorb the necessary mathematics to understand quantum computing.

My Speech to 500 Australian Teenage Schoolboys About Mathematics
I suppose I should start with who I am and what I do and perhaps why I am here in front of you. But I'm not going to do that, at least not yet. I don't want to stand here and list all my accomplishments so that you may be impressed and that would convince you to listen to me. No. I don't want to do that because I know it wouldn't work. I know that because it wouldn't have worked on me when I was in your place and someone else was up here.
Now, of course you can tell by my accent that I wasn't literally down there. I was in Canada. And I sure as hell wasn't wearing a tie. But I imagine our priorities were fairly similar: friends, getting away parents, maybe sports (in my case hockey of course and yours maybe footy), but most importantly… mathematics! No. Video games.
I don't think there is such a thing as being innately gifted in anything. Though, I am pretty good at video games. People become very good at things they practice. A little practice leads to a small advantage, which leads to opportunities for better practice, and things snowball. The snowball effect. Is that a term you guys use in Australia? I mean, it seems like an obvious analogy for a Canadian. It's how you make a snowman after all. You start with a small handful of snow and you start to roll it on the ground. The snow on the ground sticks to the ball and it gets bigger and bigger until you have a ball as tall as you!
Practice leads to a snowball effect. After a while, it looks like you are gifted at the thing you practiced, but it was really just the practice. Success then follows from an added sprinkling of luck and determination. That's what I want to talk to you about today: practice.
I don't want to use determination in the sense that I was stubbornly defiant in the face of adversity. Though, from the outside it might look that way. You can either be determined to avoid failure or determined to achieve some objective. Being determined to win is different from being determined not to lose.
There is something psychologically different between winning and not losing. You see, losing implies a winner, which is not you. But winning does not require a loser, because you can play against yourself. This was the beauty of disconnected video games of 80's and 90's. You played against yourself, or maybe "the computer". That doesn't mean it was easy. I'll given anyone here my Nintendo if they can beat Super Mario Bros. in one go. (I'm not joking. I gave my children the same offer and they barely made it past the first level). It was hard and frustrating, but no one was calling you a loser on the other end. And when you finally beat the game, you could be proud. Proud of yourself and for yourself. Not for the fake internet points you get on social media, but for you.
I actually really did want to talk to you today about mathematics. What I want to tell you is that, when I was your age, I treated mathematics like a video game. I wanted to win. I wanted to prove to myself that I could solve every problem. Some nights I stayed up all night trying to solve a single problem. You know how they say you can't have success without failure? This is a perfect example. The more you fail at trying to solve a maths problem, the more you understand when you finally do solve it. And what came along with failing and eventually succeeding in all those maths problems? Practice.
Well I don't know much about the Australian education system and culture. But I'm guessing from Hollywood you know a bit about highschool in North America. I'm sure you know about prom, and of course about Prom King and Prom Queen. What you may not know is that the King and Queen's court always has a jester. That is, along with King and Queen, each year has a Class Clown — the joker, the funny guy. I wasn't the prom king, or queen. But I did win the honour of class clown.
When I finished highschool, I was really good at three things: video games, making people laugh, and mathematics. I promise you, there is no better combination. If there was a nutrition guide for the mind, it would contain these three things. Indeed, now more than ever before, you need to be three types of smart. You need to be quick, reactive, and adaptive — the skills needed to beat a hard video game. You need emotional intelligence, you need to know what others are thinking and feeling — how to make them laugh. And finally you need to be able to solve problems, and all real problems require maths to solve them.
There are people in the world, lots of people — billions, perhaps — who look in awe at the ever increasing complexity of systems business, government, schools, and technology, including video games. They look, and they feel lost. Perhaps you know someone that can't stand new technology, or change in general. Perhaps they don't even use a piece of technology because they believe they will never understand how to use it.
You all are young. But you know about driving, voting, and paying taxes, for example. Perhaps it looks complicated, but at least you believe that you can and will be able to do it when the time comes. Imagine feeling that such things were just impossible. That would be a weird feeling. You brain can't handle such dissonance. So you would need to rationalise it in one way or another. You'd say it's just not necessary, or worse, it's something some "other" people do. At that point, for your brain to maintain a consistent story, it will start to reject new information and facts that aren't consistent with your new story.
This is all sounds far fetched, but I guarantee you know many people with such attitudes. To make them sound less harmful, they call them "traditional". How do otherwise "normal" people come to hold these views? It's actually quite simple: they fear, not what they don't understand, but what they have convinced themselves is unnecessarily complicated. I implore you, start today, start right now. Study maths. It is the only way to intellectually survive in a constantly changing world.
Phew that was a bit depressing. Let me give you a more fun and trivial example. Just this weekend I flew from Sydney to Bendigo. The flight was scheduled to be exactly 2 hours. I was listening to an audiobook and I wondered if I would finish it during the flight. Seems obvious right? If there was less than 2 hours left in the audiobook, then I would finish. If not, then I would not finish. But here's the thing, audiobooks are read soooo slow. So, I listen to them at 1.25x speed. There was 3 hours left. Does anyone know the answer?
Before I tell you, let me remind you, not many people would ask themselves this question. I couldn't say exactly why, but in some cases it's because the person has implicitly convinced themselves that such a question is just impossible to answer. It's too complicated. So their brain shuts that part of inquiry off. Never ask complicated questions it says. Then this happens: an entire world — no most of the entire universe — is closed off. Don't close yourself off from the universe. Study maths.
By the way, the answer. It's not the exact answer but here was my quick logic based on the calculation I could do in my head. If I had been listening at 1.5x speed, then every hour of flight time would get through 1.5 hours of audiobook. That's 1 hour 30 minutes. So two hours of flight time would double that, 3 hours of audiobook. Great. Except I wasn't listening at 1.5x speed. I was listening at a slower speed and so I would definitely get through less than 3 hours. The answer was no.
In fact, by knowing what to multiple or divide by what, I could know that I would have exactly 36 minutes left of the audiobook. Luckily or unluckily, the flight was delayed and I finished the book anyway. Was thinking about maths pointless all along? Maybe. But since flights are scheduled by mathematical algorithms, maths saved the day in the end. Maths always wins.
How about another. Who has seen a rainbow? I feel like that should be a trick question just to see who is paying attention. Of course, you have all seen a rainbow. As you are trying to think about the last time you saw a rainbow, you might also be thinking that they are rare — maybe even completely random things. But now you probably see the punchline — maths can tell you exactly where to find a rainbow.
Here is how a rainbow is formed. Notice that number there. That angle never changes. So you can use this geometric diagram to always find the rainbow. The most obvious aspect is that the rainbow exits the same general direction that the sunlight entered the raindrop. So to see a rainbow, the sun has to be behind you.
And there's more. If the sun is low in the sky, the rainbow will be high in the sky. And if the sun is high, you might not be able to see a rainbow at all. But if you take out the garden hose to find it, make sure you are looking down. Let me tell you my favourite rainbow story. I was driving the family to Canberra. We were driving into the sunset at some point when I drove through a brief sun shower. Since the sun was shining and it was raining, one of my children said, "Maybe we'll see a rainbow!"
Maybe. Ha. A mathematician knows no maybes. As they looked out their windows, I knew — yes — we would see a rainbow. I said, after passing through the shower, "Everyone look out the back window and look up." Because the sun was so low, it was apparently the most wonderful rainbow ever seen. I say apparently because I couldn't see it, on account of me driving. But no matter. I was content in knowing I could conjure such beauty with the power of mathematics.
I could have ended there, since I'm sure you are all highly convinced to catch up on all your maths lessons and homework. However, since I have time, I will tell you a little bit about what maths has enabled me to get paid to do. Namely, quantum physics and computation. Maybe you've heard about quantum physics? Maybe you've heard about uncertainty (the world is chaotic and random), or superposition (things can be in two places at once and cats can be dead and alive at the same time), or entanglement (what Einstein called spooky action at a distance).
But I couldn't tell you more about quantum physics than that without maths. This is not meant to make it sound difficult. It should make it sound beautiful. This is quantum physics. It's called the Schrodinger Equation. That's about all there is to it. All that stuff about uncertainty, superposition, entanglement, multiple universes, and so on—it's all contained in this equation. Without maths, we would not have quantum physics. And without quantum physics, we would not have GPS, lasers, MRI, or computers — no computers to play video games and no computers to look at Instagram. Thank a quantum physicist for these things.
Quantum physics also helps us understand the entire cosmos. From the very first instant of the Big Bang born out of a quantum fluctuation to the fusing of Hydrogen into Helium inside stars giving us all energy and life on Earth to the most exotic things in our universe: black holes. These all cannot be understood without quantum physics. And that can't be understood without mathematics.
And now I use the maths of quantum physics to help create new computing devices that may allow us to create new materials and drugs. This quantum computer has nothing mysterious or special about it. It obeys an equation just as the computers you carry around in your pockets do. But the equations are different and different maths leads to different capabilities.
I don't want to put up those equations, because if I showed them to even my 25 year-old self, I would run away screaming. But then again, I didn't know then what I know now, and what I'm telling you today. Anyone can do this. It just takes time. Every mathematician has put in the time. There is no secret recipe beyond this. Start now.
I gave up social media for a month. This happened next.
Nothing. Nothing, and it was glorious. If you haven't tried giving up social media, I highly recommend giving it a try. But, now I'm back and — as you can see from the awesome clickbait title — I haven't lost it. Why am I back and — for that matter — why did I leave? Read on.
First, a little back story for context. I joined social media in earnest about 5 years ago after I published my first book. I thought that I needed to be out there promoting my books. Around the same time, a growing number of academics were also adopting social media. I thought then that I could use social media to promote my academic work as well. Certainly, the number of eyes seeing my work increased with my presence on social media. But the big question was always left unanswered — was it worth the time spent?
This is a very difficult question to answer. I still don't have the answer and I don't think I ever will. In part, this is because not all time spent on social media has equal value. As my children get ever-closer to the age when all of their peers have a social media connected phone, I've become more and more interested in social media, who uses it, and what they use it for. This has been by no means a controlled — or even exhaustive — study, but I learned enough that I scared myself right off the platforms. I paid close attention as I used (mostly) Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. I talked to colleagues at the university, other authors and parents, and observed people in public. Here is what I learned.
The uses of social media form a multidimensional spectrum, but there are easy to identify extreme behaviors:
- Use it as a megaphone to broadcast your message or brand without any further engagement.
- Use it to pass time, starring zombie-like at your phone as you scroll endlessly through your feed, which is curated by an algorithm maximizing the number of advertisements you see.
- Use it to troll by intentionally offending people.
- Use it to communicate with friends, family, or colleagues.
- Use it to engage your audience.
In an ideal social network, there would be mutually beneficial interaction between creators and consumers of media. In reality, though, it's just a vicious cycle of memes, with the most controversial or sensational going viral. It's like 24-hour news, but a million times worse. It's not a nice place to be. So, I left.
But what was the first thought to enter my mind after making this decision? Hey, I should tweet about this. Oops. I became addicted to social media. Luckily, I foresaw this and deleted the apps from my phone and had my browser forget my password. This was enough of a barrier to keep me away, and I stayed away for a month.
It was a great month, too. I was much happier and I got heaps done. It wasn't just that I got back all the time spent on social media, but that social media was a huge distraction. Every time I had a break in my train of thought, or felt a little bored, or wanted a little dopamine hit from some likes, I'd pick up my phone or open a new tab. Even if I only spent a minute there, it was like hours were lost because that break in my train of thought was now completely lost.
So, given all that, clearly I made the correct decision in leaving social media, right? Well, no. The real lesson I have learned is that I wasn't using social media optimally. There is value in being on social media, but you must be vigilant. And so, I'm back — ready to make the best of this mess called social media.
Your children will kill you, and maybe that's a good thing
Over a hundred years ago an American medical doctor performed an experiment to weigh the human soul. The number he came up with is the now infamous 21 grams. While this is scientifically uninteresting, it is still fascinating to even the most radical antitheistic rationalist. Try as we might—though I'd argue we shouldn't—to remove the human element from science, there is one inescapable human inevitability: death.
The 21 gram soul nonsense is often used as proof for life after death, or at least out of body experiences. But it turns out you don't need any of that pseudoscience to existentially experience your own death. I know this because I died once. And, it was having kids that killed me.
The difficulty of raising children is a constant theme of the blogsphere and Twitterverse. There is no shortage of lamentations. These are often met with both harsh criticism and earnest sympathy. The exhausted parent is shamed on one side and lauded for their honesty on the other.
The great thing about your own death is you hardly remember it. And, maybe I shouldn't talk about like it was mine, as if I own it. It was his death and I can only pity him because, honestly, I don't get why it was such a terrible thing anymore. But I'll continue to talk about it as if it were my own past because in a literal sense it is, and it would just be awkward reading otherwise. Or, poetry.
Before children, I was a work hard, play hard college student. I had infinite freedom and I took advantage of every minute of it. Basically, I was the worst candidate to have real responsibilities, and there is nothing like the responsibility of being handed a helpless baby when you've never held a child in your life. Seriously, the nurse hands you the baby, says, "congratulations, dad," and then everyone leaves the room. What the fuck? What I am supposed to do with this? If you want to see the definition of karma, hand a 27-year-old college student who sleeps 10 hours a night until noon a newborn infant.
But, like I said, I hardly remember it. Today I am woken up at 5:00am to a creepy child silhouette—like, how long have you been standing there?—which whispers as soon as it knows I'm awake, "can I watch a movie?" 7 years and he doesn't know that he'd get an infinitely more favorable response if he had coffee in his hand. But, the thing is, now I love mornings. There is a calm about sunrise that you don't experience the rest of the day.
There are so many things about life that being a parent has taught me to enjoy, and many that it has forced me to realize are not important. Sure, you lose a lot of freedom. You can't play Xbox or binge-watch reality TV every night or have those loud friends over. But, those shows were trash anyway and are people that get grumpy because they can't drink all your beer until 2am anymore really your friends?
Like a phoenix risen from the ashes, with children I am reborn. Now, where is daddy's coffee?
When will we have a quantum computer? Never, with that attitude
We are quantum drunks under the lamp post—we are only looking at stuff that we can shine photons on.
In a recently posted paper, M.I. Dyakonov outlines a simplistic argument for why quantum computing is impossible. It's so far off the mark that it's hard to believe that he's even thought about math and physics before. I'll explain why.
Find a coin. I know. Where, right? I actually had to steal one from my kid's piggy bank. Flip it. I got heads. Flip it again. Heads. Again. Tails. Again, again, again… HHTHHTTTHHTHHTHHTTHT. Did you get the same thing? No, of course you didn't. That feels obvious. But why?
Let's do some math. Wait! Where are you going? Stay. It will be fun. Actually, it probably won't. I'll just tell you the answer then. There are about 1 million different combinations of heads and tails in a sequence of 20 coin flips. The chances that we would get the same string of H's and T's is 1 in a million. You might as well play the lottery if you feel that lucky. (You're not that lucky, by the way, don't waste your money.)
Now imagine 100 coin flips, or maybe a nice round number like 266. With just 266 coin flips, the number of possible sequences of heads and tails is just larger than the number of atoms in the entire universe. Written in plain English the number is 118 quinvigintillion 571 quattuorvigintillion 99 trevigintillion 379 duovigintillion 11 unvigintillion 784 vigintillion 113 novemdecillion 736 octodecillion 688 septendecillion 648 sexdecillion 896 quindecillion 417 quattuordecillion 641 tredecillion 748 duodecillion 464 undecillion 297 decillion 615 nonillion 937 octillion 576 septillion 404 sextillion 566 quintillion 24 quadrillion 103 trillion 44 billion 751 million 294 thousand 464. Holy fuck!
So obviously we can't write them all down. What about if we just tried to count them one-by-one, one each second? We couldn't do it alone, but what if all people on Earth helped us? Let's round up and say there are 10 billion of us. That wouldn't do it. What if each of those 10 billion people had a computer that could count 10 billion sequences per second instead? Still no. OK, let's say, for the sake of argument, that there were 10 billion other planets like Earth in the Milky Way and we got all 10 billion people on each of the 10 billion planets to count 10 billion sequences per second. What? Still no? Alright, fine. What if there were 10 billion galaxies each with these 10 billion planets? Not yet? Oh, fuck off.
Even if there were 10 billion universes, each of which had 10 billion galaxies, which in turn had 10 billion habitable planets, which happened to have 10 billion people, all of which had 10 billion computers, which count count 10 billion sequences per second, it would still take 100 times the age of all those universes to count the number of possible sequences in just 266 coin flips. Mind. Fucking. Blown.
Why I am telling you all this? The point I want to get across is that humanity's knack for pattern finding has given us the false impression that life, nature, the universe, or whatever, is simple. It's not. It's really fucking complicated. But like a drunk looking for their keys under the lamp post, we only see the simple things because that's all we can process. The simple things, however, are the exception, not the rule.
Suppose I give you a problem: simulate the outcome of 266 coin tosses. Do you think you could solve it? Maybe you are thinking, well you just told me that I couldn't even hope to write down all the possibilities—how the hell could I hope to choose from one of them. Fair. But, then again, you have the coin and 10 minutes to spare. As you solve the problem, you might realize that you are in fact a computer. You took an input, you are performing the steps in an algorithm, and will soon produce an output. You've solved the problem.
A problem you definitely could not solve is to simulate 266 coin tosses if the outcome of each toss depended on the outcome of the previous tosses in an arbitrary way, as if the coin had a memory. Now you have to keep track of the possibilities, which we just decided was impossible. Well, not impossible, just really really really time consuming. But all the ways that one toss could depend on previous tosses is yet even more difficult to count—in fact, it's uncountable. One situation where it is not difficult is the one most familiar to us—when each coin toss is completely independent of all previous and future tosses. This seems like the only obvious situation because it is the only one we are familiar with. But we are only familiar with it because it is one we know how to solve.
Life's complicated in general, but not so if we stay on the narrow paths of simplicity. Computers, deep down in their guts, are making sequences that look like those of coin-flips. Computers work by flipping transistors on and off. But your computer will never produce every possible sequence of bits. It stays on the simple path, or crashes. There is nothing innately special about your computer which forces it to do this. We never would have built computers that couldn't solve problems quickly. So computers only work at solving problems that can we found can be solved because we are at the steering wheel forcing them to the problems which appear effortless.
In quantum computing it is no different. It can be in general very complicated. But we look for problems that are solvable, like flipping quantum coins. We are quantum drunks under the lamp post—we are only looking at stuff that we can shine photons on. A quantum computer will not be an all-powerful device that solves all possible problems by controlling more parameters than there are particles in the universe. It will only solve the problems we design it to solve, because those are the problems that can be solved with limited resources.
We don't have to track (and "keep under control") all the possibilities, as Dyakonov suggests, just as your digital computer does not need to track all its possible configurations. So next time someone tells you that quantum computing is complicated because there are so many possibilities involved, remind them that all of nature is complicated—the success of science is finding the patches of simplicity. In quantum computing, we know which path to take. It's still full of debris and we are smelling flowers and picking the strawberries along the way, so it will take some time—but we'll get there.

Bulgaria is cracking down on boozy Brit tourists as politicians declare 'war on noise' and 24-hour partying
The country's deputy PM has launched a crusade on loud music and public drunkenness, which has already prompted the cancellation of a music festival
BOOZY Brits banking on a Bulgarian bender for their summer holidays are in for a shock as the country cracks down on public drunkenness.
A leading international DJ festival has been cancelled after the government began a "war on noise" that also saw nightclubs raided.
Bulgaria's deputy prime minister, Valeri Simeonov, led police on a raid of two nightclubs in the popular Brit holiday destination of Sunny Beach.
One DJ was arrested and his sound equipment was seized amid claims the clubs had broken sound regulations.
Internet videos later showed Simeonov in action as the cops were subjected to a barrage of boos from the crowd.
Last year 281,000 Brits visited the country with many of them heading to the Black Sea's answer to Magaluf.
Half a litre of beer can be bought for less than a pound in the resort and a couple can dine out with a bottle of wine for as little as £20.
Mr Simeonov said on Facebook: "In our country there is lawlessness and bacchanalia — we will change it!
"We will attract more solvent tourists, and we will have a better quality of tourism!"
Yesterday the organisers of Sunny Beach's Solar Summer 2017 Festival scrapped the event amid fear of the crackdown disrupting it.
In the past the event has attracted big names like Fatboy Slim and Pete Tong.
Organiser Ivan Donchev said: "We never imagined a situation in which the world's top artists may be stopped and the equipment confiscated.
"In the times of social networks, the news will spread like lightning around the world, and will have a very negative impact on the image of both Bulgaria and us as organisers."

Naturalist and Citizen Scientist. I became interested in Insects several years ago when started gardening. Since then, a favorite thing to do in my spare time is to be go out in the world or just my backyard- to observe and record everything from the smallest ant or common weed, to my fav- wasps. Sphex are my favorite and the ones I hope to photograph. I "raise" Monarch butterflies and spend time turning over leaves in my Asclepias garden in hope of collecting the Monarch in all life stages.

Trains are an interesting and environmentally-friendly way to travel. In hot and crowded countries like India, however, comfort might be a poor adjective to describe the experience of the average train passenger. But Indian Railways, a government owned and operated rail network, recently announced that it would be tapping the power of the sun to make traveling in its coach cars a more palatable experience. A partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology will allow the installation of solar harvesting equipment that will supply enough electricity for on-board air conditioning, as well as more efficient internal lighting.
India is a hot and crowded country, and its railway cars are no exception. According to the Times of India, the railways anticipate a huge demand for air conditioned coaches in the coming years (ahem, climate change) and diesel generators leave much to be desired, especially in the way of price.
"We have asked IIT Madras to find ways to tap solar power and use it for interior lighting and air conditioning. An MoU was signed a month ago. We have started preliminary discussions with professors to work out different modalities to develop a feasible model to use solar power in running trains," a senior Integral Coach Factory official told the Times.
While it seems like a brilliant idea, trains and solar power aren't something we've seen successfully combined that often. We've seen solar-powered train stations and even solar panels on train bridges, but on the train itself? If IIT is able to pull it off, it will be a huge leap forward for the rail industry.
"The concept of solar-powered air conditioners will be extremely beneficial to the train industry. Larger railways that take passengers through multiple climates will benefit the most from this technology. There have been many instances of current air conditioning methods failing, sometimes when they are in tortuous heat.

Lucknow: The ruling BJP in Uttar Pradesh and the Samajwadi Party (SP) on Saturday traded charges on damage to the government accommodation in Lucknow vacated by former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav. Pictures showed damage to some floor tiles and laminations. Air conditioning ducts of the centrally air-conditioned house had been plucked out and some of the electrical switchboards were missing. The incident has spoilt the reputation of Akhilesh Yadav and even the Dalit households are scared as he is planning a visit soon to their houses. A Dalit family in Lucknow was seen hiding their electrical equipment and furniture after hearing that Akhilesh Ji will soon pay them a visit.
The hotels where Akhilesh stays during his political meetings and press conferences are also cautious of the fact that the politician may steal their appliances while leaving and so they have also kept all appliances hidden. Even the cars in which Akhilesh moves around for his political commitments were seen covering their AC ducts and seats were tied up properly. The UP government is surprised by the fact the ACs which were installed in Akhilesh's house were pretty properly fixed and it demanded a humongous effort to remove them. That Akhilesh was able to remove them so easily is still a big surprise for the government estate department.
But the good news for the Dalit families is that at least Akhilesh is sending a prior notification before visiting otherwise they would have faced the catch 22 situation. It is so considerate of him to first announce his visit and then visit the house of a Dalit. This would give the Dalit family ample time to hide or shift their electrical appliances to some other place.

Aeris Isn't the Only Final Fantasy VII Stiff Worth Mourning
A little while ago I talked about Final Fantasy VII's often-stunning environments. I also promised I'd talk about emotional character deaths that are ignored in favour of the grand sacrifice made by Our Lady of the Brown Army Boots, Aeris Gainsborough
Now, I actually like Aeris. Whenever I start up a new Final Fantasy VII game — I average about three per year, I reckon — I always wind up pairing her with Cloud, even when I'm trying to give Tifa a chance. Maybe it's a subconscious thing.*
Either way, Aeris's end is the Final Fantasy series' most talked-about death. Killing off a main character just wasn't done. Perma-death was strictly NPC biz until that moment, or at best, a secondary character problem (SCP). Sure, Final Fantasy IV's Tellah bites the big one, as does Final Fantasy VI's General Leo. But Aeris's last ride on Sephiroth's sword has real consequences. You lose your party's healer. Shit's heavy.
So it's understandable that Aeris's sacrifice overshadows the rest of Final Fantasy VII's body count. That doesn't mean I'm not impacted by another in-game extinction event: The deaths of Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie. All three members of the AVALANCHE resistance group are killed when Shinra ices Sector 7 in Midgar.
These three NPCs are a tricky lot to mourn, however, because they're essentially terrorists.
Yeah, Shinra milks the planet like a stud bull on a dairy farm, and yeah, AVALANCHE aims to stop a potentially disastrous future event. But the game says in no uncertain terms that innocent people die as a result of their actions.
If you blow shit up for a cause, you're a terrorist. If you blow shit up for a cause and innocent people die, you're, like, a New Terrorist +.
And yet I can't help but cringe every time poor Wedge plummets from Sector 7's support beam. I can't help but pity / admire the poor fat bastard's attempts to make friends with Cloud. Incidentally, I'm always nice to Wedge when I play Final Fantasy VII. He's engaged in asshole-grade activities, but at the same time I kind of expect he doesn't fully understand the magnitude of what he's wrapped up in.
Maybe I'm just making excuses for him because he looks like an anime Peter Griffin.
Jessie's another AVALANCHE member I feel for. Cloud finds her in her last moments, when she admits she's getting what she deserves because her actions have taken a lot of lives. She does seem to take a lot of comfort in getting to talk to Cloud at the end of her life, as she's opaquely in love with the spiky-haired soldier.
She doesn't monologue breathlessly about what might have been, though. She carries her regrets with her into the other world with admirable dignity. Seeing Cloud simply gives her a little peace as she crosses over.
AVALANCHE. What a bunch of magnificent bastards.
*Sidenote: I'll be trying very hard to get Cloud and Tifa to shack up in the Final Fantasy VII remake because I'm dying to see how Nomura plans to handle the interlude wherein Cloud throws it to Tifa underneath the Highwind while it's docked near the Northern Crater.

What began as a brush fire over the weekend for the fashion designers behind the Dolce & Gabbana label spread quickly across the Internet.
Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce have found themselves at the center of a viral social media campaign after the pair criticized in vitro fertilization and nontraditional families in an interview with the Italian magazine Panorama. "I am not convinced by those I call children of chemicals, synthetic children," Mr. Dolce told the magazine. "Rented uterus, semen chosen from a catalog."
"The family is not a fad," Mr. Gabbana added. "In it there is a supernatural sense of belonging."
The comments caught the attention of the singer and songwriter Elton John, who took to Instagram over the weekend to urge a boycott of the high-end label, a perennial favorite of celebrities and socialites. "How dare you refer to my beautiful children as 'synthetic,' " Mr. John wrote. "Shame on you for wagging your judgmental little fingers at I.V.F." He added: "Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions. I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again. #BoycottDolceGabbana." Mr. John has two sons through I.V.F. with his husband, David Furnish.
The hashtag quickly became a rallying cry on social media. Among others, Victoria Beckham, Courtney Love, the singer Ricky Martin, and the former tennis star Martina Navratilova condemned the fashion label on Twitter. Celebrities and civilians alike threatened to burn their Dolce & Gabbana apparel. Users posted pictures of their children conceived through artificial insemination.
Mr. Gabbana struck back against Mr. John on Instagram, calling him a fascist and posting "Je Suis D&G" in an echo of the "Je Suis Charlie" cry after the attack in January on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
On Monday, Mr. Dolce and Mr. Gabbana tried to stem the backlash. In a statement issued through the company on Monday — the same one he posted on Instagram — Mr. Gabbana said: "We firmly believe in democracy and the fundamental principle of freedom of expression that upholds it. We talked about our way of seeing reality, but it was never our intention to judge other people's choices."
Mr. Dolce said in a separate statement: "I'm Sicilian and I grew up in a traditional family, made up of a mother, a father and children. I am very well aware of the fact that there are other types of families and they are as legitimate as the one I've known. But in my personal experience, family had a different configuration."
It was unclear whether the outcry against the label would have any substantive effect, but the attention illustrates the potentially damaging impact of viral campaigns on a brand. Negative social media campaigns like the one started by Mr. John can blemish a brand's image and set back a company's efforts to spread positive awareness on sites like Twitter and Facebook.
Marketing experts said the comments from Mr. Dolce and Mr. Gabbana would be perceived as alienating, particularly to those in the fashion industry, which is generally more progressive on issues like gay marriage and same-sex families.
"It's brain-dead to start making comments like this on behalf of a brand," said Scott Galloway, a clinical professor of marketing at New York University's Stern School of Business. "This isn't shooting yourself in the foot, this is taking a machine gun and spraying bullets all over your feet."
Still, it is likely that the brand will emerge, if not completely unscathed, then without serious damage, said Shenan Reed, the president for digital in North America at MEC, a media agency network.
"I'd be shocked if it had any dramatic impact," Ms. Reed said.

We launch harvest with picking Irsai Oliver, the variety that ripens the earlyest; its closing "ceremony" is the selection of Cabernet Sauvignon. Traditional hand-picked harvest is completed with a mechanical process, for which we purchased a Pellenc harvesting machine supplied with a picker table in 2012. The reaper-thresher assists harvesting with an applied high-quality, reliable technology.
The grapes arrive from the plantations to the winery, where it is received in a gorge supplied with scales, afterwards they go to the destemmer-crusher.
White grapes and the grapes apt for rose wines get into the presses, where the perfumed varieties are kept ont he skin, and the pressed must will be separated from sediment by settling, or flotating.
Red grapes go to special tanks called Gimar, adapted to elaborate red wines.
Fermenting of the wines in each case happens under controlled temperature, with specially selected yeasts. Perfumed white wines and rose wines are made exclusively using reductive technology, thus presenting the primary varietal character and varietal bouquet. Amongst white wines there are only Chardonnay and Pinot Gris (Szürkebarát) that undergo oak aging. The strong character of red wines will gain shape during the 6 to 24 month oak-aging.
For oak-aging– besides barriques – we use 500 litres casks conform to Hungarian traditions, and larger casks of 1500-2500 litres. Our casks – for the most part – are manufactured from Hungarian oak, and the rest from French and American oak.
We bottle our wines in our winery in Balatonlelle. At present we are modernizing our bottling plant, and the new bottlling line will be introduced into production in the fall of 2016.
Following bottling the wines will be aged in bottles for a shorter or longer period, after this they are put on sales for our domestic or export wholesalers and consumers, packed in 6-er or 12-er cases.

(Reuters) - The violent arrest of a black female student by a white police officer at a South Carolina high school has reignited concerns that the proliferation of cops in U.S. schools can criminalize behavior once handled more quietly by school officials.
Almost 31,000 "school resource officers" or other law enforcement officers are stationed at U.S. public schools, with another 13,060 sworn law enforcement officers spending at least part of their time at schools, according to U.S. Department of Education data.
Americans have grown accustomed to the presence of armed and uniformed officers in schools since the 1999 Columbine High School massacre and numerous school shootings since.
But the viral video of the officer dragging the student from her chair, tossing her to the floor and arresting her for refusing to leave the room underscored the reality that many schools rely on police to do more than protect students from outside threats.
Ben Fields, the officer involved in Monday's incident in Columbia, South Carolina, has been fired, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said on Wednesday.
"Everybody understands that in case of danger there may be times when we need and want officers in the school, but stationing them there on a permanent basis can lead to over-disciplining, over-criminalizing the misbehavior of children," said Victoria Middleton, executive director of the South Carolina chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, a prominent civil liberties group.
The ACLU and other officials tracking the use of police in schools bemoan what they call a "school-to-prison pipeline" that prioritizes incarceration over education, especially for at-risk or minority students.
Federal data shows that black students are more than twice as likely to be arrested in school as white students. Black students represent 16 percent of enrollment but account for 31 percent of school-related arrests, according to the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. White students represent 51 percent of enrollment but 39 percent of arrests.
Police involvement with schools dates back to the 1950s but gained prominence in the 1980s with community policing efforts to prevent the spread of drugs by educating students.
Protecting children became paramount after Columbine, where two students shot dead 12 fellow students and a teacher before committing suicide, and more recent events such as the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, where a gunman killed 20 children, six adults and himself.
As the police presence in education has grown, schools have called on officers to deal with fights, students disrupting classes and other issues formerly handled by administrators.
In an incident in Northern California on Monday also receiving attention online and on television, an officer was on hand to arrest three teen-aged boys after a brawl over a girl led to the school's principal being flipped to the ground.
Some 41 percent of U.S. public schools have school resource officers or other law enforcement officers stationed on campus, with 16 percent having them full time, according to data from the Department of Education. Officers were most commonly assigned to high schools, with 65 percent having one present at least part of the time.
Jim Pasco, executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police, said the police are in schools because dangerous situations apart from outside shooters sometimes arise, including gang and drug activity, he said.
But that does not mean teachers should leave everything to the cops, said Pasco, whose group is the country's largest police organization with more than 335,000 members.
"Police aren't there to supplant the traditional and appropriate role of teachers," he said.
In South Carolina, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department have opened a civil rights probe into the arrest by Fields at Spring Valley High School. Fields could not be reached for comment.
The Richland Two Black Parents Association said discriminatory practices by the school district, including suspending and expelling large numbers of African-American students, have been in place for years.
"We don't want this to be about just this officer," said Stephen Gilchrist, a founding member of the year-old association with 5,700 members. "There is much more going on that has helped create a culture of discrimination."Richland County school officials promised on Tuesday they would reinforce training about when faculty should call on school resource officers.
Curtis Lavarello, executive director of the School Safety Advocacy Council, which focuses on school safety training and assessments, said schools are turning more to on-site police to handle discipline, resulting in kids being charged with crimes.
Another factor is the practice of zero tolerance, which rose to prominence during the fight against drugs.
"We've become zero-tolerant crazy," said Lavarello, a former school resource officer. He added, "Incarcerating kids at young ages is not an effective method of changing behaviors."
Education officials and experts said schools and the police they work with need to clearly delineate responsibilities, and the police should not handle discipline historically handled by the schools. Arresting younger children can put them on a bad path, raising the likelihood they will repeat grades, drop out or get stuck in the juvenile justice system.
Lott said he shared concerns about whether Fields should have been called in the first place. "We don't need to arrest these students, we need to keep them in school," he said.
"If students are misbehaving in classrooms, the fix is not having a police officer on campus," said Michael Thompson, director of the Council of State Governments Justice Center, which provides state and local policymakers with data and recommendations to increase public safety.
Studies on police presence in schools are mixed, according to a 2013 report prepared for Congress. Some showed that children in schools with school resource officers might be more likely to be arrested for low-level offenses while others indicated the officers can deter students from committing assaults or bringing weapons to school.
Some education officials feel the tide may be turning as more school systems are adding counselors and overhauling codes of conduct to head off problems before the police are called in.
In Florida, Miami Dade county rolled out a system to handle disruptive students which dumped out-of-school suspensions.
