The late George H.W. Bush famously hated broccoli, an opinion I do not share.
But we did agree on at least one culinary delight: I once feasted on his favorite Peking duck in his favorite Chinese restaurant this side of the Pacific.
The guy knew how to eat.
My brother was living in the D.C. area and heard about the place, located in a strip mall in Falls Church, Va. It's not as if it was a government secret. Bush had been a diplomat in China and acquired a taste for authentic Chinese cuisine. The Peking Gourmet Inn on Route 7 met the president's standards.
His favorite was the Peking duck, although the D.C. affiliate to Fox news reported that he also liked the Szechuan beef "proper," Jeo-Yen shrimp and locally grown garlic sprouts, a specialty grown at the owner's family farm.
The 41st president and wife, Barbara, became regulars when they were in the White House. According to the Fox story, they had their own table and chairs provided by owner George Tsui, who became a friend of the family. The Bushes were such regulars that the ever-vigilant Secret Service installed bullet-proof glass on the place.
So my family drove to this place to check it out. There were pictures on the wall of the Bush family and other notables, and I ordered the duck. And the chef brought the whole bird to our table and it looked like it had been alive that very morning.
And I can hear the shrieks of vegans, but they carved that golden-brown bad-boy right in front of us.
Oh, the juice that flowed from that bird.
And it was just delicious. My brother picked up the tab, which made the night, like the duck, a delight.
Bush died last week after living a remarkable life. He left school and signed up for the Navy after the attack on Pearl Harbor and became the youngest aviator in U.S. naval history. He was flying a Grumman TBM Avenger near the Bonin Islands in 1944 when his torpedo bomber was struck by enemy flak. Bush pressed the attack, released bombs and scored several hits while his engine caught fire. He bailed out and was rescued by a U.S. submarine.
His crew didn't make it. Bush was said to have asked, "Why had I been spared and what did God have for me?"
The rest, as they say, is history. For George Bush, that meant being a father and husband, a diplomat. It meant leading the CIA. It meant the presidency.
So he disdained broccoli: He led me to the best Peking duck I've ever had.

The Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority has proposed mandatory, tamper-resistant devices that will accurately record the flying time for single-engine helicopters. The proposal follows a series of fatal accidents of single-engine helicopters in which inaccurate time-in-service flight hours were identified as a contributing factor to the crash. The safety authority stated that it is not making a formal recommendation regarding the timing devices, but rather is issuing a discussion paper calling for comments from the industry regarding the need for such a device. If adopted as a requirement, it would affect 650 helicopters throughout Australia. Cost to purchase and install is estimated at up to $5000, for a total cost impact to the industry of $3.25 million.
In issuing a discussion paper on the problem of inaccurate reporting of time-in-service, CASA said that there are some helicopter operators who are not accurately recording flying time and that existing time-in-service devices are either not working properly or have been disconnected.

Woman gangraped in Thane, two youths arrested
Thane, May 24: A 24-year-old woman was allegedly gangraped by two youths in Kalwa area of the district, police said today. The victim, who separated from her husband about four years back, was sleeping at home in Jaibhim Nagar of Kalwa along with her two children on Sunday night.
The two youths - Vikas alias Ambadas Awhad (21) and Vishal Gopichand Telore (20) - barged into her house in the wee hours yesterday at around 1.15 AM, Kalwa police station sub-inspector S M Dhadve said.
They allegedly pulled her out of the house at knife-point and then took turns to rape her, he said. Prior to the offence, the accused threatened the woman that they would slit her throat and kill her two children if she resisted their move, he said, quoting the complaint filed by the victim.
Based on the complaint, the two accused -- one of them a newspaper vendor -- were arrested yesterday, police said. The duo has been booked under sections 376(d), 452, 506(2) and 323 of the IPC, he said.
The accused were produced in a local court which remanded them in police custody till May 28, Dhadve added.

Prosecutors raid South Korea's nuclear operator as probe widens into fabricated test results
SEOUL, South Korea – South Korea's sole nuclear operator says investigators raided its offices as part of a probe into nuclear plant cables.
Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. spokesman Lee Yoon-dong said Thursday prosecutors seized documents and computer hard drives from offices including its headquarters in southeastern Korea. Prosecutors could not be reached for comment.
South Korea shut down two nuclear power plants last month after discovering that a company contracted to conduct tests on control cables had fabricated the results. The cables failed to meet international standards for capacity to withstand changes in voltage and pressure.
The revelations deepened public worries about the nuclear industry responsible for a third of South Korea's power supply. The nuclear industry has been mired in corruptions and scandals.

Wolves Fall Prey to Canada's Rapacious Tar Sands Business
Wolves are routinely, baselessly and contemptuously blamed for the demise of everything from marmots to mountain caribou in western Canada. Given that attitude, we at Raincoast Conservation Foundation are appalled, though not surprised, by Canada's proposed strategy to "recover" dwindling populations of boreal forest caribou in northern Alberta's tar sands territory.

For many people making money -- and how to make more of it -– is an everyday struggle. Some people use an obvious yet controversial source of earning potential: their own body parts.
The human body is a living factory that can manufacture products that no laboratory can recreate. From kidneys to hair, to eggs, sperm and blood, many body parts can be sold through both legal and illegal avenues, and the dollar value increases with the amount of risk involved.
For those who cash in, the body can be a source of income that can be tapped again and again. And for those in need of life-saving body parts, the global trade in organs opens a whole new visceral world of ethical and legal issues.
Below are ways people sell themselves for cash. For those willing to part with those products, real money is at stake. But how much?
Probably the easiest thing on one's body to sell is one's hair. There are even websites where one can auction off one's hair. The market for human hair goes way beyond the web. It's a multi-million dollar business, thanks to man's eternal obsession with beauty.
Hair is one of the body's wonder products. It can stretch up to 30 percent before snapping, yet it's as strong as copper wire of the same width. The texture of hair depends on ethnicity. Among the most coveted is Russian hair – it's soft, fine, and often blond.
Human hair wigs can range from $400 to $5000, but if you want to sell your hair to a merchant, you'll get 5 to 10 dollars an ounce.
Every year, the U.S. imports millions of pounds of hair. Some of it comes from temples in Southern India, where people shave their heads not for cash, but for something they feel is far more valuable – divine blessing. So next time you buy extensions, remember than while you may end up looking good, some else might have gotten a gift from the gods.
Potential income: $10 to 500, depending on length, texture, color
But there's no product no laboratory is ever likely to make from scratch: The human baby.
Some of the millions of Americans who want children have difficulty conceiving. Science can help – but not without the essential ingredients. Infertility science has been around for decades, but in the last 20 years, it has blossomed into a multi-billion dollar business. For around $270 a sample, you can buy a biological father.
Cryobank, one of the largest repository of frozen sperm, lets clients chose exactly the characteristics they're looking for – from ethnicity to education.
They are quite selective though: they only accept 5 percent of sperm donor applicants. The screening process is critical –- when a woman buys a sperm, she's buying the man's entire genetic and medical history. To ensure that, donors have to pass blood tests, a full physical, and genetic screenings. Clients can learn everything, except the donor's identity which is kept confidential.
If one's sperm is checked for a healthy sperm count, and can survive being in liquid nitrogen overnight at negative 320 degrees, and passes some medical exams, one can earn $75 a sample, up to $900 a month until a man's liquid assets have produced 10 babies.
Potential income: $500/1,600 a month
Egg donation
Most egg donors earn from 2-7,000 a month for a month's work -– but it's not for the squeamish. Every day, the egg donor has to inject herself with fertility drugs. Drugs turn a woman's normal menstrual cycle into something like a human egg harvest.
Once a month, a woman's ovaries prepare to produce eggs. Usually, only one egg ripens at a time. Fertility drugs encourage several eggs to ripen. The extra eggs are important because even with modern invitro fertilization methods, many implanted embryos fail to latch onto a receipient's womb.
After four weeks of daily shots, the woman's eggs are ready for harvest and undergoes a 10-minute operation to remove them. The surgery isn't risk-free. There's always the danger of injury or infection.
Compensation: $2,000 – 7,000
Providing the raw materials for human life is one way to make a little cash. But some women take it 9 months further, acting as incubators for babies that will never be theirs.
Being a surrogate mother is nine months of often-grueling work. Women endure doctor appointments and the usual toll of pregnancy. The average woman pack on 25 to 30 pounds, not to mention morning sickness, back pain, and the possibility of complications at birth.
The womb is the ultimate life machine -– but renting it out is controversial. Some states ban any surrogacy for profit. Still, more than a thousand babies are born to surrogates every year.
Compensation: $10,000 to $30,000
Giving up vital organs
What if you could save someone's life by giving up a part of yourself you don't need to survive? Would you do it for money? Or as an act of goodwill? That's the ethical and moral dilemma of organ donation. Selling kidneys is illegal in the U.S. and most countries ban the trade.
The human body can offer up several vital organs. These little machines of life can keep doing their jobs even in another body. Among the precious of these organs is the kidney.
The kidney is the body's blood filter, eliminating waste products and keeping our chemistry in balance. Since we're all born with two kidneys, it is possible to donate one while we're still alive.
Worldwide, around a million patients are waiting for donated kidneys. The average waiting time for a kidney is thee years, so some break the law to obtain them.
Most countries ban the trade, but with so many lives on the line, black market kidneys can fetch tens of thousands of dollars. One person even tried to sell his/her kidney on e-bay. The starting bid was $25,000. In just eight days, desperate patients drove the price into the millions before the company blocked the sale.
Going rate: $1,000 to 20,000 ILLEGALLY
As a factory for unique, life-saving products, the human body may never be equaled. And while many of these parts can come with a pricetag, selling them often generates controversy. But even for those who are willing to cash in, it's not always just about the money. Many are happy to give the gift of life -– or beauty -– and find that that is priceless.

THOMAS MANGUM is the leading expert in CONNECTING WITHOUT COMPROMISE.
If your audience doesn't feel you care about them at SOME level, why should they ever care about your product, service or cause?
Business today is about 'get real' relationships more than ever. If Networking is sharing knowledge and resources to advance the business, Connecting is sharing whatever it takes to forward the person.
A dynamic keynote speaker, a memorable facilitator, and provocative coach & author, Thomas Mangum accels at transcending the ordinary small talk to intimate conversations that break the patterns of professional networking that unfortunately are so common in this new economy.
Thomas has drawn on a rich and diverse 31 year + experience as an entrepreneur, military interrogator, radio show host to help client after client "connect" so that it creates tangible results in their life. This is where more time for what matters most, more money, more love comes in.
The fact is you want more love, freedom, meaning, connection, passion in your life, so why would anyone be polite or appropriate asking for that? But we do it all day long. It's human.
Why would you tolerate the same old things that get you what you're getting now?
To get different results, it's going to take a fresh approach.
Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, Thomas has experienced from the very earliest age what works in the world business. Operating his first brick and mortar business at the age of 18 along with many home-based businesses earlier than that, Thomas learned quickly that success comes from the relationships that are cultivated.
No one is "self-made". Thomas knows that no business thrives without connecting. Not just going through the motions of professional networking, but truly connecting in such a way that is a mind, body, soul connection.
Thomas' book, working title "Love The One You're With: Becoming A Masterful Networker Begins With You will be published mid 2014 in New York.
Thomas' experience is impressive on paper, though his greatest credential is modeling it and passing forward only what works today.
- From an entrepreneurial family.
- Grandfather operated several businesses from custom concrete pre-cast to commercial farming
- Mother was the #1 in U.S. Sales in Tupperware as a consultant in Virginia;
- Operated a distribution center in Baltimore, MD.
- Operated a packaging and shipping center franchise

Huawei Ascend P7 Gets Caught On Camera, Proudly Shows Its Chassis
The fact that a sequel to last year's P6, aptly called Huawei Ascend P7, is in the works and will soon be announced (May 7th) is no longer a secret. We've seen leaked renders, low-res pics of the device and even the smartphone's back panel in all its glory, but until now we haven't seen some close up, quality pics with the device itself (TENAA pics make even the most beautiful device look like something out of a designer's nightmare).
But why until now? Well, take a look below.
The Ascend P6 is a beautiful built smartphone and by the looks of it, the Huawei Ascend P7 will closely follow the same design language, with minor tweaks. Why change something that looks better than Samsung's flagships, right?
As far as the hardware specs of the Ascend P7 go, previous rumors have claimed that the smartphone will be powered by a a quad-core 1.6Ghz HiSilicon SoC and will feature a 5-inch Full HD display, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP rear-camera coupled with an 8MP front facing shooter, and 16GB of internal storage (expandable via a MicroSD card).
How do you think the Ascend P7 looks? Hod does its design compare to the current heavyhitters (Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, Xperia Z2)? Let us know in the comments section.

JetMoto gameplay video loading, please wait...
- Digital Download
We haven't found any digital download available at this moment.
No classic box available at the moment.
19 tracks and races with moto/hover bikes; futuristic!
Jet Moto is an arcade game, slightly futuristic and tinged by the brush strokes of steam punk. But all in all, it's a game that is fast, doesn't have a lot of extras outside the confines of the races. The bikes available are also not too diverse, just a few models, that kind of behave similarly. But, overall, the game plays nicely, and it has the power to keep you entertained for hours. Now, the hovering means that all these bikes have higher than usual roll and grind around the tracks; they are harder to control if you control them as if they were classic. However, if you learn to anticipate the corners and take the curve in advance, you will get where you want to in time, without issue. Plus, graphically, Jet Moto is a game that looks phenomenally well, with great 3D graphics, that are of course, reminiscent of their period, so don't expect perfect crispness, but other than that this game just works, has no nagging flaws. Else, download Moto Racer 2 as well, to have another good racer in your collection, as this one, while classic, with classic wheeled motorcycles, plays at high speeds and is just fantastic.
Chaotic but extremely fun
JetMoto, a 1996 videogame released by Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc., is the future of motor car racing. It has a very fast gameplay and you will race against 19 opponents. You can choose your character to be rather a man or a female racer, and the characters presented have their own description, abilities and traits concerning the acceleration, handling, mass and lift. Some roads are tight during races and here will appear the high difficulty when trying to handle properly your vehicle. Also, giving the fact that the speed is insanely fast, the bends will be kind of hard to pass in a correct manner. The chaotic driving is filled with various landmarks, by the multiple locations, and a wide perspective upon the world presented. The surfaces are not repetitive (now you race on a beach, in the next moment you will find yourself driving on water, which is pretty cool). The graphics are impressive , having a futuristic design and the sounds are realistic and well done. Even if you lose or die in the races, this game remains fun and appealing, so you won't make a big deal of any of such things. The strategy aspect is based on using at certain times an amount of "turbo" energy you are given. Don't miss this extremely fun game!

4 Ways to Weather the Waves of Transition/ Loss
Brittany Glaser
Even for those of us who crave adventure, change can be terrifying. Whether it is expected change, like our students who are going from one school to the next, or unexpected change, like a lost job or loved one, all change is difficult and comes with a wide mix of emotions. If you are finding yourself in the midst of one of these storms, here are a few ways to weather through it:
- Acknowledge that it is difficult (and that is ok!). In our culture we often pride ourselves on being independent and strong. When change occurs we often say "I'm fine" to others and tell ourselves "I shouldn't be upset about this". Transitions whether good or bad come with a loss attached. Losing parts of our lives is painful regardless of the situation and has grief attached.
- Share your story. As humans we need to connect with others. We need to be seen and heard. After a loss you need to tell others your story. Tell someone you trust about the changes you are going through. Tell them a story about your lost loved one. Share what you miss or are anticipating missing. You might realize that you aren't alone in your struggle.
- Find a solid ground. In the midst of change it can feel like you are trying to stand on top of a trampoline. The ground is shaky and you forget what can hold you up. Take time to find places that are solid in your life. Acknowledge the things that have not and will not change in your world and celebrate the good in those people/ things.
- Take gentle, prepared steps. Once you've found some places that are solid, prepare yourself for the road ahead. Push back the part of you that wants to run ahead and give yourself time to think about where you want to step next. It will take time to shift gears slowly but taking that time is vital to accepting the changes in your life so that you can go forward without regrets.

The "Profile" frame contains a table with a list of input interfaces. After specifying interfaces, it is possible to edit thicknesses of individual layers using active dimensions.
Adding a layer is performed in the "New interface" dialog window. The z-coordinate of interface measured from the top of a structure (z) or thickness of a layer (t) is specified.
In this frame, it is also possible to enter optional information about the structure location:
- terrain elevation - an altitude column for the layers is displayed in the table when inputting a terrain elevation
- GPS coordinates - it is possible to show a structure on the Google Maps using "View on map" button when inputting coordinates.
The program allows to raise or lower the top point of a structure in the "Change of terrain elevation" dialog window and, this way, to move the entire interface while keeping the thicknesses of individual layers. This function is important when copying the profile from "Terrain" or "Stratigraphy" programs.

Firefighters in Keller say six house fires Sunday night were likely started by lightning strikes.
The fires started at about 9:15 p.m. while thunderstorms were moving through the area. Four homes took direct lightning hits, and two others were damaged by nearby strikes.
"It's something I'm not really accustomed to -- that many lightning strikes in one evening," Keller Fire Chief David Jones said.
The latest news from around North Texas.
He said most of the fires were minor, but a home in the 1000 block of Bourland Drive had major damage to the roof.
Two people were inside the home at the time of the fire but escaped uninjured. The family pet died in the fire.
"We only lost the kitty cat, but everybody got out safe," homeowner Lisa Holman said.
Flames shot 60 feet into the air minutes after the lightning struck the home.
"I was told that there was [a] gas line where the hot water was, possibly, that kind of went up and then it just spread really fast across the roof," Holman said.
Other strikes happened on Richmond Drive, Edgewood Drive and Lismore Court.
Eight cities had to be called to assist firefighters.
NBC 5's Kevin Cokely contributed to this report.

Harpy or Siren -harpies steal things from people, mostly food. And are very mischievous -Sirens sing a song to lure people to them – Sculpture made of stone, marble? – In this picture the bottom half of the sculpture almost looks like a painting -Looks very noble because of its stance and the facial expression -texture created using the repetitive lines in the chest, wings and hair, but the bottom half is smooth – I realized it is not a harpy because harpies are half person half bird and the bottom of this creature is a lion -Eye is drawn vertically because of stance. -3D -Leslie feels the head is too big for the body – I don't think it would have the same effect if it was in another medium. As a sculpture it seems to have a presence that I don't think would translate as a painting or something else.

Nov 13, 2017 - National Geographic Explorer
Today was International King Penguin Day! Well, not officially, but it certainly felt like it—it was a fantastic king penguin festival for those of us exploring South Georgia on the National Geographic Explorer. Our morning landing was at Gold Harbor, a gorgeous bay near the southern end of the island, which is backed by rugged mountain peaks and the Bertram Glacier, a river of ice that tumbles down a near vertical cliff behind the beach, and, in the midst of all, a colony of 25,000 pairs of king penguins. But this was just the appetizer. In the afternoon, we made a successful landing at St. Andrews Bay, the largest of all the king penguin colonies on South Georgia—home to over 250,000 pairs of these amazing birds! And to top it all off the wind switched to the south and the skies cleared, making the day even more beautiful.

Posted on 28th April 2014 by Media Relations
Taronga's Herpetofauna department is celebrating the birth of three Night Skinks (Liopholis striata), which have proven to be some very big babies!
Each of the young skinks, born on 12 April, weighed about three and a half grams and measured up to 103mm at birth. To put this in perspective, the mum, who gave birth to all three, is only 217mm long and weighs a mere 38 grams!
Night Skinks are one of few nocturnal skinks native to Australia, where they predominantly inhabit the sandy dunes of the central western deserts. They live in family groups, excavating extensive burrow systems with several entrances.
Differing from most other skinks of Australia, Night Skinks give birth to live young, rather than laying eggs. This is a process known as 'viviparity', also shared by the more familiar bluetongue skink group, and a litter of two or three young is typical.
As with virtually all young reptiles, our young Night Skinks are completely independent from the moment they are born.
Being omnivorous, the three little skinks are feeding well on a diet of finely chopped vegetables, as well as crickets, and they are all growing very quickly!
These juvenile skinks reflect the typical adult colouration, but some may develop more of deep brick red colour.
Taronga Zoo's group of Night Skinks are constantly on the go, spending their days digging and perfecting a network of burrows.

text: Using Technology to Support Social Communication, 8 March, 2017 (Wednesday) Scholar from the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine gives lecture at the EDUC on "Using Technology to Support Social Communication" The Department of Education Studies co-organized a lecture with The Interdisciplinary Council on Development and Learning, USA, on 8th March, 2017 with Dr. Joshua Feder, Associate Clinical Professor at University of California at San Diego School of Medicine, and a Senior Expert with the Early Years. His lecture entitled "Using Technology to Support Social Communication" attracted a crowd of university students, staff and members of the pubic. Dr. Feder reported on the many ways that we can use technology to support the development of social communication in people with developmental challenges. The lecture included the most recently evidenced general models for supporting social communication and then about several kinds of technology assisted approaches that can utilize these models, including the use of well designed video games, online training and support for parents and professionals, use of an app to allow efficient use of video coding and feedback in typical life settings (instead of laboratory settings), as well as other technologies such as augmented reality approaches. Dr. Joshua Feder is a child and family psychiatrist with a clinical practice in Solana Beach, California. As an Associate Clinical Professor at University of California at San Diego School of Medicine, and a Senior Expert with the Early Years, Dr. Feder conducts research and trains clinicians to promote regulation, social communication, and learning and he is engaged in peace building through support to early childhood development in conflict regions. Dr Feder is also an Adjunct Professor at Fielding Graduate University. Dr. Feder advocates nationally and internationally on issues related to peace building, informed consent, and Evidence Based Practices, and he serves as Medical Director at SymPlay, developing interactive technology and distance learning systems to support relationship-based interventions.

It was pleasing that such a large number of people attended Australia Day Ceremonies yesterday. These increasingly large attendances are a sign that we place increasing value on the nature of the celebration.
Australia Day means many things to different people but for me more than anything, it is a celebration of who and what we are, where we have been, and where we are going.
Thank you to all the local councils and organising committees for staging such wonderful events around the electorate. Congratulations to our newest Australian citizens and all those who were recognised for their special contribution to our community.
Next week Parliament will resume and Ill be heading back down to Canberra.
The Parliament always sits about one third of each year and usually for two weeks at a time. In 2016 Members will spend 5 weeks of February/ March in Canberra, 5 weeks in May/ June, 3 weeks in August/ September, 5 weeks in October/ November and 1 day in December.
You will notice that the Parliament does not sit at all in April. This is a period in which Ministers will be busy framing the budget which will be delivered on May 10, 2016.
The House of Representatives sits Monday to Thursday for at least 45 hours (often many more).
Committees are also operating while the House is sitting as well as before and after the House meets.
Most members fly to Canberra late on Sunday night and fly home Friday morning. It is not possible to remain in Canberra over the weekend of a two-week session because Members have meetings, community functions etc to attend in their electorates, not to mention the need to see ones family. In addition, a weeks worth of mail and a queue of appointments are awaiting the member on his or her return on Friday.
The balance of the year is spent working in the electorate assisting constituents, attending meetings, community functions and writing correspondence and submissions. As my own electorate stretches from Maitland to out west at Rylstone and Kandos, travel between meetings and functions is also time consuming.
In addition, most Members have political party meetings and commitments on a regular basis. Further, Members also attend committee meetings in non-sitting weeks.
So you see its a busy life but one I still love and appreciate

Yes, it is true, the typical louse can die between 24-48 hours when away from the scalp BUT, head lice can hide and survive in clothing, such as a hood of a coat, a hat, a scarf, in bedding, mattresses, carpets, pillows, stuffed animals, and plush toys like teddy bears just waiting to find a new home in a fuzzy head of hair. Your home needs to be carefully disinfected to rid the premises of head lice. We offer home disinfecting packages and individual services to help ease the stress and frustration. Breathe a sigh of relief and let us do the work.

Beef grades were introduced by USDA in 1926 to provide wholesalers and retailers a uniform, government-backed method of assessing the quality of the meat. Along the way, consumers came to rely on grades as a determinant of beef quality.
Using machines to grade carcasses has been discussed since 1978. That's when the General Accounting Office told Congress that, in order to improve accuracy and uniformity, USDA should "increase research efforts to develop instruments to accurately measure beef carcass characteristics."
In 1979, ultrasound and video image analysis (VIA) was identified as technology that might help reach that goal. VIA is at the core of instrument grading today.
It wasn't until 1994 that the beef industry began funding the research necessary to get the ball rolling. That year, the National Live Stock and Meat Board created the first National Beef Instrument Assessment Plan and began funding projects to move toward the goal.
As a result, in 2003, USDA's Ag Marketing Service adopted VIA performance standards for predicting ribeye area, and standards for predicting yield grades in 2005. In 2006, the agency adopted standards for prediction of marbling scores. In 2007, the first VIA system was approved for applying yield grades.
Although grading technology is advancing, the overall purpose and philosophy is not. The new technology, though, will move the program significantly into the 21st century.
"The grading service has served us well through the years, and they've modified operations as they've seen the need," according to Cactus Feeders' Mike Engler. "While it's been good, it can be better as we go forward. And instrument grading gives us lots of opportunities."

At Your Step Storage and Moving Blog
What do you want to accomplish? Start with some careful thinking about how you use your garage and what you really use that belongs out there. Consider the time that you will need for the clean-up project.
Storage container solutions are a simple, modern and effective solution for items you don't use everyday and/or for belongings being moved to a new address. For best results, however, avoid packing your storage container with items you may need in the near future. Here are some helpful examples of possessions to store–and those to keep readily accessible, by your side. If you are looking for SF Bay Area self storage solutions, read why moving with storage containers will be your favorite move yet.
Moving is NOT EASY – We wan't to make it EASIER! With deliverable storage containers, you can pack at your ease, protect your belongings, and move like a pro.
Renting out your home while you travel can be a significant source of income, making it possible for you to spend time in places you've always wanted to visit. Are you wanting to pack up your stuff and travel the world? Read these tips on what to do with your stuff while abroad.
With self storage containers, all you do is fill the container and arrange the whole unit to be transported to your new place or into storage. When you are finished, have it delivered at your step, and then start unloading.

Have you ever had a situation where you said something to someone and they HEARD you say something else?
I do a lot of presentations for principals and teachers around Australia – not as much now as I used to – but I recall, many times, talking about students learning timetables in class. I told teachers that they should always make sure tables are taught to assist mathematical fluency but not to assume their students knew what multiplication was just because they could rattle off their tables from memory. I told teachers that they were wasting their time teaching tables if students didn't understand the concept of multiplication FIRST; they don't understand what multiplication is for or what it is as a concept by being able to multiply or know their tables.
I recall many times, this came back to me – sometimes months later – that I had told teachers not to teach timetables anymore!
A short time ago, Mr McNeill made some statements at an assembly at the Primary Campus about Homework. He said – correctly – that "research has found that doing homework has only a moderate impact on students' achievement". At least one parent heard this as Mr McNeill saying "our teachers don't set homework".
Unfortunately, Mr McNeill did not tell the whole story. The above statement is correct only with the word 'on average' included at the end of this sentence. The words 'on average' need to be unpacked further; the impact of homework on student achievement is high for secondary students but virtually nil for early childhood students (K-2).
In secondary school, it is essential for students to do their homework if they want to achieve good grades. By contrast, in early childhood our teachers do not set homework, in recognition of the research. However, they do encourage home learning.
As a school we greatly recognise parents as our students' first teachers. The learning that can occur in the home through parents and extended family, has an enormous impact on student development. In 2007 when the first data for the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) came in, it was discovered that many young children were not developing as fast in their learning as they should. There was a high correlation between these children and their socio-economic status – further research revealing that many of them came from households where both parents worked and hence the children weren't getting enough 'home-learning' through parental engagement, stimulation and play.
There is a huge message in here for all parents; a reminder that your engagement with your children – particularly when they are young – is critical through home learning for their development. It's also essential that, as your children get older, you support them to do their homework; give them time and space to do it and show them that you value it by encouraging and rewarding them if needed, without nagging them.
The biggest message is, make sure you process what you hear rather than filtering what you hear through your own belief system.

Some evolution refutation?
One of the problems with evolutionary theory whatever its merits for biology, and most scientists accept it as a given, a "fact," is that it is applied to everything else under the sun. Sociologists apply it to societies, political scientists apply it to governments and to the polity, for two cases. And that results in conclusions that certain societies are where they are inevitably based on the impersonal forces of nature or society. Individual action is devalued because it was the result of these forces and not because of initiative or thinking or any type of moral considerations. It is like the apple falling form the tree, they would say. It fell inevitably because of the nature of the apple and the nature of gravity. It had nothing to do with anything else.
That is what is going to happen, if it hasn't already, with analysis of the Ukraine revolution. I have said this before, maybe too often for some, but it will come to be seen as inevitable. An evolution of the society. It happened in Czechoslovakia; it happened in Poland; it happened in Georgia; and now it happened in Ukraine. That means it will eventually happen in Russia, Belarus, and the countries of Central Asia.
But these latter countries are problematic at best. It is not clear that Russia is moving in the direction of greater democracy. It may be moving toward more authoritarianism. And this downplays the fact that real people here took to the streets and risked real danger to do it. They did this because they had had enough and stood up like men, to put it in the old, un-PC way. That makes them heroes. This needs to be remembered when the histories are written.
1 comment:
An economist with the unlikely name of Armen A. Alchian posits that survival or thriving in many cases is more a matter of adoption (luck) rather adaptation.
Issues with evolution as a theory include that it clashes with religious beliefs, that it appears to have an inherent logical contradiction, and that the same phenomena can be explained in another fashion. A biblical literalist cannot also accept evolution as a given. A pro-evolutionist should acknowledge that a theory is not a fact by the canons of science. The rise of intelligent life from nonlife appears logical contradictory. Christian scientist promote an alternative theory to evolution, but I can't place its name at the moment. Sorry if this comment is rambling; the time is late where I am.

I'm having trouble getting back into the swing of class. It's summertime! My brain is putting up a strong resistance to this folly, and who can blame it? Four and half hours of class every day is a lot. And frankly, it's been pretty dull so far. The readings are also less than stimulating. In fact, the best thing so far is seeing my classmates again and the addition of one who hails from my alma mater. We've been reminiscing and bouncing names of old friends around, although we probably never had many (if any) classes together. She focused on the physiological side of things, whereas I prefer all things plant.
I took the campus shuttle yesterday for the first time. The driver was very friendly and answered my "newbie" questions. I forgot to ask the all-important question regarding the pick-up location on main campus, as the normal locale is behind construction cones and barrels. Hopefully, I can figure it out before tomorrow's return trip (due to a work-related scenario I did not ride the bus today). The stupid shuttle only runs every 40 minutes during the summer, so I will be missing more work than I would prefer. The shuttle is a good first step towards taking the bus to work, although I am still having major issues with the additional hour and half to two hours a day that the bus would require. Think of the poor pups!
I've been working on a paper, but I think I shall call it a night.

I liked my summer courses, but it always felt like they didn't really count. What are you taking now?
I liked riding our shuttle around the campus, too.... ahhh, you're making me reminiscent of my college days!
- BerryBird said...
Four and a half hours of class? The same class? Oy. If it is lecture, there is no way that could not be boring. I hope you have some lab time or something to break it up a bit.

No lab time. Today we did an activity which was almost fun. Does that count?

Parents always hope for the best when bringing a child into the world. When my son was born and I held him for the first time, I could not stop the tears. I wanted my him to be happy and knew that I would do whatever I could for my child and that I would do anything to help him achieve and reach his lifes goals.
The first step in this quest is teaching our kids about responsibility. This starts the moment the child is able to understand and do simple things to the time they reache the teenage years.
Here are some things that will help teach the teens about responsibility.
- Doing one's homework must always be finished before being allowed to watch television or play computer games This helps teach the child about time management given that this is something no one has control of.
- Some parents will not be able to prepare lunch and a snack before going to school. The best thing to do then will be to give allowance. These people should be taught not to spend everything so there may be enough to spend for a rainy day.
- The teen will probably be invited by friends to go out especially during weekends. Before any trip is approved, the son or daughter should give some vital information like who else is going.
- When a teen is at home, there may be time that someone will call. Being able to take the messages for those who are out is also something the person should do while living in the same house.
- Most homeowners cannot afford a maid or someone to clean the house. Being responsible also means fixing up the room and doing some household chores. This place belongs to those who live there which is much different than staying for a few days in a hotel.
- If the teen already has a student permit and decides to use the car, it is only right for the person to refill the gas that was used for the trip. Learning a little about automobile maintenance will come in handy so troubleshooting can be done.
- The only time parents can spend time with the kids is during weekends. If the teen has plans, it is best to inform the folks at home a week or two in advance.
Teens need praise also and need to know you are proud of them. Make sure to praise your teen for a job well done or when everything instructed was completed. This doesn't necessarily mean rewarding the person with something, but a simple pat in the back or thank you is more than enough and is a lot more meaningful.
There are other ways in which your teenager can learn about responsibility. Although they may not understand why mom or dad is pushy at certain times, this will only be realized later on that such values be very helpful in the future.
This can be used when the teenager finally starts a new family who also want use the same approach or something better to help in the child's upbringing. Those who do not pay attention or take it seriously will likely have problems handling a relationship or holding a job.
In the end, mom or dad will not always be around to tell your growing teenager what to do in life. Even if they were, the choices, and the consequences, will fall on your teen. The soon your teenager learns the lessons of responsibility, the more prepared they will be in later life.

Great job dropping off high school keys immediately following your match when playing during the day, or by 8 am the morning following an evening match. Daytime players count on this! The Racquetball and Fitness Center is open 5:30-9 pm Monday – Thursday; Friday 5:30-7 pm; Saturday 7-1; Sunday 8-1. We are open on July 4th from 8-1. Use dedicated parking spaces when picking up/dropping off keys-thank you for not parking along the curb, in fire lanes or disabled spots-the entrance to our facility is narrow.
As always, please reach out to me with any questions, concerns, suggestions, ideas or offers to help repair nets or blow courts so all can have a great time on the court!
