Nanometer-sized things are very small, and often behave differently than larger things do.
Scientists and engineers have formed the interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology by investigating properties and manipulating matter at the nanoscale.
Nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanoengineering lead to new knowledge and innovations that weren't possible before.
Nanotechnologies—and their costs, utility, risks, and benefits—are closely interconnected with society and with our values.

This is Yaara 3 years ago, on the day she started the "real" kindergarten. She was with 25 more kids and it was a big difference from the place she was before - 10 kids.
The journaling says: First day in a 'big kids" kindergarten. The summer vacation is over and after 2 years in Pnina's nursery school it's time to go to a real kindergarten: "Liat's world".
Yaara is dressed with beautiful clothes, wearing braids in her hair (not sure how to translate it..) - ready!
I used: Scrappy Cat Journaling Blocks clear stamp, Fiskars Threading Water border punch, StazOn.

More on:
Although their leaders and foreign secretaries did meet in 2009, the February 25 talks between India and Pakistan were the first since the November 2008 Mumbai attacks aimed at normalizing dialogue. And they had raised hopes in some quarters that New Delhi and Islamabad might reenter into a peace process.
For now, such expectations are very unrealistic. It's worth asking four questions about today's talks:
1. Were the talks significant?
Somewhat. It's no mean achievement that New Delhi and Islamabad returned to the table. But today's discussion was about restoring contact, not making a breakthrough. An awful lot of water has passed under the bridge since the Mumbai attacks--and the two sides don't agree on the parameters for discussion. India views Pakistan's actions since Mumbai as insufficient. It has presented Islamabad with dossiers of information, but complains that many of the Mumbai suspects continue to walk free, not least Hafiz Saeed, the accused mastermind of the attacks, who only last week called for fresh attacks at a rally outside Lahore. Pakistan argues that it has acted against terrorism. It seeks to focus on political differences, not least the future of Kashmir, and wants an early return to formal peace talks, known as the "composite dialogue." But this isn't likely anytime soon.
2. Is a breakthrough even possible?
It is, but not easily. The two sides have come close to reaching breakthroughs in the past, principally through a "backchannel" negotiation that picked up a head of steam between 2004 and 2007. In one account, the two sides were down to "semicolons" in 2007. But the most sensitive disputes, such as Kashmir, are as much political as intellectual. And the politics on both sides just aren't conducive to reaching a settlement. Conventional wisdom in India is that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh badly wants a breakthrough. But his Pakistan policy is very vulnerable politically. And Pakistan is fragmented between multiple power centers: Its military (the most important power center) is especially skeptical of India. And Indian leaders do not believe that Pakistan's civilian politicians can deliver.
3. Could India and Pakistan go to war again?
Yes. After the Mumbai attacks, the Indian government came under enormous pressure to respond. Another attack could increase the pressure further. Mumbai stole international headlines, but several major Indian metropolises were bombed throughout 2008: Jaipur in May; Ahmadabad and Bangalore in July; and New Delhi's most famous shopping area, Connaught Place, in September. India has carefully avoided blaming Pakistan for attacks two weeks ago in Pune, but political pressure will intensify in the event of a future attack. Indians are divided over the effectiveness of military options. Some argue that tough military measures contributed to subsequent breakthroughs in the backchannel negotiations. Others disagree.
4. Does the United States have a role?
Not an obvious one. Clearly, American interests are engaged by the possibility of war--and tension reduction is in the U.S. interest. But third-party intervention is utterly unwelcome in India. And it hasn't been especially conducive to breakthroughs in the past. Pakistan would certainly welcome greater U.S. involvement, but India would reject an American role outright. And a public U.S. role narrows the political space available for Singh to maneuver: Any peace package seen to have been reached under U.S. pressure would be dead on arrival in Indian politics. Barack Obama learned this lesson the hard way. As a candidate, he told TIME's Joe Klein that he would appoint a U.S. envoy to seek peace in Kashmir. As president, he quickly backed off after strenuous Indian objections. But some in his administration cling to the idea. And as I write in the new issue of Foreign Affairs, this remains a source of tension and one of five areas of difference that could threaten U.S.-India relations.

Felony mediation provides an out-of-court and timely procedure to process felony cases through our judicial system. Mediation allows for a facilitated conversation between the prosecutor and the defendant regarding the defendant's case. The process is voluntary and provides cost-effective justice.
A mediator convenes a one-hour conference with the defendant, his attorney, and the prosecutor on a carefully selected case at the local courthouse. Mediators are retired judges who are also trained and experienced in mediation and Kentucky criminal law.
The mediation session lasts one to two hours in duration depending upon the number of defendant's and the issues involved.
Referrals are made by the presiding judge, the Commonwealth Attorney, and defense attorneys. However, all referrals are approved by the Judge. A request for assignment of a retired judge to mediate a felony case can be made by completing the request form and returning it to firstname.lastname@example.com.

1. Which of your characters is your favorite?
2. Tell me about your travels.
Hmm, well, I travelled to the tiny Caribbean island of Trinidad to meet my husband. The only place west of the Mississippi I've been is St. Louis. And my favorite place of all time to vacation is Walt Disney World.
3. Coffee, tea, or milk?
Tea. Though I love brewing coffee just for the wonderful aroma, I'm a tea girl—iced or hot it doesn't matter. As for milk, I don't take it in my tea either, and don't drink it. It makes me shiver—and not in a good way. Chalk it up to bad memories from growing up when my siblings and I had to drink powdered milk.
4. What else can you do besides write?
I'm a baker. I always joke that if I get stuck or stalled with a particular scene in writing, I pop into the kitchen and bake. There's something about engaging my brain while cooking that allows it to work out the problems in the writing.
5. Who are you reading right now?
6. Pop culture or academia?
7. What is the toughest scene you ever wrote?
The toughest scene? That would have to be in Dragons at Dawn, when my hero (or anti-hero in this book) struggles with a decision on whether to kill the heroine's mother or not after the woman mortally wounded the heroine. In one respect, going through with the act would put him beyond redemption, but on the other hand, not going through with it showed he had some compassion after all. I teetered on that scene for days.
8. Where do you find your inspirations to write?
9. Food you could eat everyday.
10. Are you into sports or other physical activities?
11. What kind of music speaks to you?
12. Do you outline your stories or do they just take you along for the ride?
I'm a big fan of the outline. Why? It's like a roadmap of sorts while I write. Sometimes they're in-depth, sometimes not. When I actually get in and write the story, the characters will do or say something that changes the course of the outline and that's okay. I just alter it and move forward. I also find that for me, it keeps me from boxing myself in a corner.
13. Celebrity crush.
14. Who are the biggest influences on your work?
15. Do you still watch cartoons?
Absolutely! I think cartoons are a great creative outlet, and some of them are just mindless entertainment that makes me laugh. Looney Tunes are still my favorite.

What happens when beauty is the beast?
Major Rick Keenan has a near-impossible mission: repair his broken shuttle, rescue a missing crew member and get off an almost-dead planet. Angry that the U.S. is discontinuing the space program, he wants to find a discovery that will revise the government's position. Unfortunately, that discovery might just kill him.
Marin is one of the last of her people. Forced to flee to the planet in her childhood, she's kept herself hidden away in darkness, safe in a castle-like fortress, only coming out when she needs to feed--from human blood. Convinced she'll never fit in, she shuns all contact, yet taking Rick hostage as a food source chips away at her perceptions.
Though their differences threaten to tear them apart, their humanity binds them together. In a world where only the strong and determined survive, does a happily ever after stand a chance?

Carolina Harbor Waterpark Expansion Taking Shape at Carowinds
This mild winter (so far, at least) has been extra kind to parks working on major new projects - just like the massive water park expansion taking place at Carowinds. To be known as Carolina Harbor, the complete renovation of the facility will result in the largest water park in the Carolinas and continue Carowinds' overall beefed up offerings.

Those wishing to keep tabs on the huge project can start with the live camera (a view from which is seen here) that's featured on the Carolina Harbor webpage. Want even more photos of the recent construction progress? Check out this gallery on Flickr and this post from Carowinds Connection for plenty more.
Carowinds also recently received tax incentives for the project, which will stretch as long as 30 years to help with the massive $25 million price tag of this expansion.

|This dissertation explores the history of Thai American community and identity formation in Los Angeles within the context of the rise of U.S. global power and the boom in U.S. leisure culture after World War II. I use foodways – the production, representation, and consumption of a food – as a window to show that these two transformations became inextricably linked, maturing most decidedly during the Cold War in Asia and the Pacific. Though Thais constitute the main subject of this study, I put Thais' encounter and negotiation (in Thailand and Los Angeles) of racial, gender, and class structures through what I call ""leisure culture imperialism"" at the center of my analysis. ❧ The study builds on the body of literature on post-World War II U.S. history, Asian American studies, and urban/suburban studies to illustrate that leisure culture imperialism reached its most compelling expression in Thailand where it produced transnational networks through Thai migration and tourism, played itself out in foodways, and readapted itself in Los Angeles' multiracial/ethnic suburban and urban spaces. I argue that foodways hardened racial and ethnic boundaries for Thais as well as exacerbated gender and class divisions within the Thai American community. Thai food operated as a site for the sensory construction of race where taste, smell, and sight worked in concert to construct Thai Americans as an exotic, non-white other. This racial formation process occurred in Thailand and in the United States. Yet, Thais found pleasure in preparing, serving, and consuming Thai cuisine as they provided the labor for U.S. leisure culture. Moreover, Thai Americans considered food to be an avenue for not only economic mobility or a way to preserve cultural heritage, but also collective mobilization, political visibility, and belonging. The power of leisure consumption, however, imposed barriers and inscribed an identity that ""binded"" Thais to foodways, which made it extremely difficult for Thais Americans to move beyond food in struggles for social, political, and economic rights. ❧ As the first historical investigation of a Thai American community, the interdisciplinary and pioneering nature of my dissertation has required the examination, and the collection of wide range of materials. I rely on a combination of oral histories and the historical analysis of archival materials as well as original sources including cookbooks, menus, travel guides, memoirs, literature, and magazines. Metropolitan Los Angeles is a perfect site to investigate Thai American community and identity formation because it is home to the largest Thai population outside of Thailand as a hub of the Pacific Rim. This project challenges the dominance of ""sight"" in studies of racial formation by offering a glimpse of the way other human senses sustained racial thinking and practice in the U.S. Ultimately, the study attempts to understand the complexities, contradictions, and possibilities of racial and ethnic identity formation within conditions of increased privatization of society under free-market capitalism.
