Sustainable safety
So what is "Duurzaam Veilig" and what does this mean ? Let's start with what it is not. Frequently I see from the UK that there are calls for drivers to be better educated, for cyclists to be better educated, for pedestrians to wear brighter clothing so they are seen more easily and to take the responsibility for avoiding being hit by motor vehicles. This is not sustainable safety. Sustainable safety is not about punishing people for making mistakes, but about preventing those mistakes from occurring.
While a good level of education of drivers in particular (as they are the ones bringing lethal force to the roads) is important, it is never possible to completely eliminate the chance of error, or of frustration leading to violent behaviour, if conflict is designed into the way in which roads are used. What's more, people are often tired or distracted. These things cannot be solved by education, they are a result of being human.
What the Dutch have done is to reduce the frequency of conflict between road users and to to reduce the lethality of those crashes which still inevitably occur. This has involved changes in infrastructure to keep vulnerable road users away from the lethal force of motor vehicles, design of junctions so that routes do not cross each other at speed, as well as some changes in the law and education of road users about how to behave in a safe way (i.e. drunk driving, taking a break on long journeys...).
Speed limit reductions are a useful tool, both in town and in rural areas (but note that merely posting speed limit signs is not enough on its own). Out of a total of 120000 km of roads in the Netherlands, 41000 km have had the speed limit reduced from 50 km/h to 30 km/h roads and over 33000 km have been reduced from 80 km/h to 60 km/h. From the article: "Currently over 70% of all 30km/h neighbourhood connector roads have speeds reduced at intersections and/or stretches of road, and 45% of 60km/h roads." It is estimated that 51 to 77 traffic fatalities were prevented by the 30 km/h roads and 60 more due to the rural 60 km/h roads.
On many of the 30 km/h roads, measures have been taken to exclude cars.
Also, roundabout construction is credited with saving an estimated 11 lives. However, it goes beyond this. Traffic light junctions in the Netherlands do not work in the same way as similar junctions in the UK. In most cases, drivers who have a green light can go without having to negotiate with other drivers or cyclists who also have a green light but who are travelling in different directions. The conflict between, for instance, cyclists travelling straight on and motorists turning right has been removed by junction design. What's more, cyclists can avoid many traffic lights therefore avoiding all the danger caused by those junctions.
The measures have proven to be socially cost-effective, as benefits are a factor of four higher than costs. It's a common theme with Dutch policies concerning transport and in particular cycling that measures are not seen as a cost, but as a benefit. The Netherlands is a rich nation, in part due to sensible design of roads.
Of course it's all OK to have the world's safest roads, but to influence people to ride bikes you also need Subjective Safety to make cycling feel safe enough that people want to do it, and want their children to do it too. This has been addressed by a number of means, leading to the world's highest rate of cycling, and happily the same things which increase real safety and work for sustainable safety also work to increase subjective safety. The result is the highest rate of cycling in the world, with very high participation by the broadest possible population of cyclists, and what this means sometimes takes people by surprise.
Read also another blog post which explains about the importance of Sustainable Safety. Also about how the necessary segregation of cyclists from drivers is achieved even without cycle-paths because cycling routes are unravelled from driving routes.

Oh David, how badly would I love to see some of these initiatives here in Toronto where 12 pedestrians have been killed in the last couple weeks.
- Politicians who propose reducing the speed limit here are mocked.
- The Toronto Police traffic services spokesman told cyclists they should push their bike on the footpath to avoid conflict with automobiles at intersections
- Drivers who open their door and kill cyclists are fined $110 (similar fine as not having a working bell on a bicycle)
- The media often places the blame on the pedestrians/cyclists for their deaths.
- Businesses complain that business has dropped by xx% since bike lanes were installed in front of their store
- Some drivers complain that they shouldn't have to share the road with cyclists, other drivers complain that bike lanes are underutilized so they should be removed, while other drivers complain that rogue cyclists dangerously ride on the footpath and other drivers complain that unobstructed bicycle infrastructure is a waste of tax money. And that's why we are so far behind.
The Dutch bring me hope for a better day ;) - 25 January 2010 at 06:05

You mentioned driver education, which is a thing that I have become somewhat interested in after learning how easy it is to get a driving licence in the UK compared to my native Denmark. (Denmark demands minimum 17 hours, motorway driving, night driving, driving on slippery surface and probably a few other things that I cannot remember)
How difficult do you think that it is to get a drivers licence in the Netherlands compared to the UK? - 26 January 2010 at 01:15
- David Hembrow said...
Sirius: For me it was easy. I simply swapped my UK license for a Dutch one - after two years of not bothering to do so and not driving at all.
As a result, I have no direct experience of the Dutch system. However, from seeing what friends of my daughter are doing, it seems more difficult and quite a lot more expensive to get a driving license here than in the UK. For a start, all driving lessons have to be with a qualified driving instructor, while in the UK you can have a friend or family member instruct you. I think there are also more stringent conditions as you remark about Denmark, but perhaps someone who has been through the process here can tell us more.
I also seems that the tests (theory and practical) are more difficult. People fail them more readily here than in the UK. Mind you, it's also more difficult in the UK than it was 20 years ago.
As I remarked before, the UK is actually doing quite a good job in overall road safety. Drivers are quite safe. It's just when you look at the safety of vulnerable road users that Britain's record looks bad. - 26 January 2010 at 07:56

James: Toronto's problems sound a lot like those of the UK, Australia, the USA... All quite normal where cyclists are a minority.
- 26 January 2010 at 07:58
Hello all
I was shocked at the Toronto death toll, found it very hard to believe. On reading further I picked up that the big advancement in road safety was to make child seats and child seat belts mandatory, this under the headline of making the roads safer for children.

As I've been through the process of getting a drivers license I can tell you something about it. I've heard so far that I was a bit slower than most, but nothing spectacularly slow.
I've started with lessons with a instructor, 36 euros per hour, one hour per week. I've had lessons for about a year. So that makes 50 lessons more or less (I've had holidays, sometimes two lessons a week, so it's an estimation) I've driven in almost all conditions, sun, rain, snow, ice, in a city, in the country, on the highways, on dirt roads... I've had to pass a theory exam for which I had to know all signs and rules. There were about a 100 questions with all kinds of traffic situations, with the question what you should do, or who has priority, or what you see is a legal action, etc. I failed this test once, and passed the second. This exam costs about 60 euros to take each time. Once you've passed the theory exam you can take the practical exam. This one costs 120 euros to take, and includes questions about the car itself, which parts of the engine are what, what is that button for, etc. Then you drive around in the city, on the highway and wherever else the examinor tells you to go. You also have to do several "special" moves. Meaning, how to park in several different ways etc. reversing alongside a line, alongside a curve etc. I also failed this exam once, but passed the second time. - 27 January 2010 at 18:10

My story is similar to Anneke's. Although it seems she got it far more recent. I got my driver's license in 1984. Took me 44 lessons (of 45 minutes in my case) and I also passed the second driving test.
They had just changed the way the examinations went. I was among the first people who had to pass the "theoretic" exam first before we could do the actual driving test, which we call the practical examination. It is still like this today. Before 1984 the two were combined and a lot easier - or so I am told. I passed the theoretic exam at once, but it took me quite a few months of studying books with a lot of situations where you had to tell if something you saw on the pictures was carried out right or wrong. In my time it were 70 pictures of which you could only miss 5 if I remember correctly.
Another novelty was that I could start the practical lessons before I was 18. This was an experiment in the early 1980s. I first learned handling the car on a closed terrain (so not on the public roads, you had and have to be 18 to drive there). It meant I could already fully operate the car on my actual 18th birthday when I first drove on the road. It was believed it would help people if operating the car and being in traffic and interacting with other traffic were taught separately. I don't know if it really does make a difference, but the experiment was short lived and now everybody has to wait until they are 18 again. It did give me a head start and I had my license at 18 and six months, which is very early for Dutch standards.
As for costs, I remember all the costs combined were 1.965 guilders. Easy to remember since that is my year of birth. To compare: I earned 825 guilders per month at the time, so it was more than 2 months salary. I think that ratio hasn't changed much. I would say it is quite expensive to get a driver's license in the Netherlands. - 28 January 2010 at 00:29

I think this is similar to the modern UK test. Certainly there is a theory part and a practical part. The theory part consists of multi-choice questions and the hazard perception video. Whether these are more or less rigorous than NL driving test I have no idea.
When I did my test (many years ago), the instructors used to reckon on 1.5hours training per year of your age. Or at least that's what they wanted to guarantee passing (free lessons to retake).
They also used an off-road track to teach basic skills so all gear change and clutch control was sorted before going on the road. - 28 January 2010 at 16:37

The ARCONA brand is known and respected for its high quality, luxury formulations and their unparalleled ability to make a positive change to the skin. The key to ARCONA's effectiveness is its active ingredients and the way they are combined and processed. Cosmeceutical-grade ingredients, such as enzymes, antioxidants and amino acids, are formulated to work synergistically to deliver powerful results. These active ingredients are cold-processed at very low temperatures, in small batches, to keep them active and effective. Because cold processing is labor and time intensive, most skin care products, even the expensive ones that may begin with quality ingredients, are heat processed, which ultimately leaves nutrients lifeless and ineffective.
ARCONA offers products that avoid harsh chemicals, artificial colorants, chemical preservatives, synthetic fragrance and chemical sunscreens wherever possible. |

great - 2/12/2015 12:53:32 PM It's great, doesn't weigh down my hair and is pleasant and less expensive than some other brands.Amazing - 2/4/2015 8:30:08 PM Simply the most amazing skin product I have found. I only use it about three times a week at night as it is very concentrated. It reduces pore size, evens out skin tone, reduces wrinkles. I was amazed to see a radiance to my skin the first morning after I first used used it. My daughter introduced it to me after I commented on how beautiful her skin looked and we are now both loyal customers. You won't be disappointed.Best New Arcona Product I've Tried - 2/1/2015 12:07:28 PM I was confused as to why Arcona would release a second vitamin A-Retinol product and what the difference between the two could possibly be (and really, I still am: they do not do a good job of communicating the difference at all!) but I figured I'd give it a whirl. This one made an immediate difference! It is just a serum, so you definitely will want to use a moisturizer on top. I'm using the Magic Dry Ice for my newly dehydrated 52-year-old skin, and the combo is pretty phenomenal.Good stuff - 1/18/2015 6:49:56 AM I am a fan of Arcona products generally because they are light and right for sensitive skin. This serum reduced puffiness and over time reduced lines around my eyes.Gentle nighttime exfoliation - 12/26/2014 9:19:54 AM use 4 nights a week, glides on your skin and adds moisture as well, a little eye cream and you are set. Just like its name it is very gentle not harsh like a scrub, alternated with magic white ice & moisturizer at night this has evened out my skin tone and made my skin soft. Don't forget the sunscreen! Love ARCONA products especially my new find the Kiwi cleansing bar. Products are all natural, wish I had known about them years ago.Great product - 12/15/2014 3:53:39 PM I believe this product works very well. I alternate it with "The Eyes Have It", used twice a week, as recommended. I am 70 years old and have almost no lines or crows' feet, thanks to these products, I believe. However, the pump stops working after about 2/3 to 3/4 of the product is used. The bottle can be taken apart so the product is seen through glass, and I use the end of a make-up tool to get to the product. My experience has been that Arcona products are excellent, but the pumps often stop working long before the product is used up. The company really needs to work on their packaging.Skin feels amazing - 11/30/2014 12:54:05 PM I just started using this mask after trying many, many others. I love how smooth and moisturized my skin feels after using this. Very hydrating and it smells great.Wonderful exfoliant - 11/20/2014 11:54:38 AM For the first time ever, I was told that my skin looked good! It was a great feeling considering I have been working to deal with break-outs over the last several years. I have mild to moderate hyper-pigmentation or dark spots due to acne. I use this exfoliant 2-3 times a week. I started with a small sample, which lasted quite awhile and I knew I wanted to make this purchase when I was out. It is similar in price compared to exfoliants I have used in the past, but the results are much greater. My skin looks healthy and it does not cause any irritation.Natural Foaming Cleanser - 11/20/2014 11:49:16 AM During my mid-twenties I started having acne break-outs on my cheeks and chin line. I tried everything, over several years! Oral antibiotics, benzyl peroxide, expensive cleansers, basic cleansers. My skin was irritated from all of the chemicals and I still had breakouts. I also realized that I was having an allergic reaction in the form of bumps, due to parabens. I tried this line of products after a facial with an esthetician. It is in a bar form, which I thought was strange at first, but the bar lasts a long time. It creates a nice lathering and smells wonderful! My favorite result is how much more clear my skin is!Daily Moisture - 11/20/2014 11:18:36 AM I use this is as my daily AM and PM moisturizer. In the past I have been very bad about using a moisturizer because I hated the way they left my skin. They always made my skin seem more oily and shiny (and I have tried tons of oil free items). This absorbs quickly and smells great. I have very sensitive skin, prone to acne and allergic reactions due to parabens. This does not lead to acne, allergic bumps, shiny or oily skin. Great product! -

Elevated performance for bike commuting. The soft cotton polyester blend feels great, has performance stretch, and is treated with 3XDRY® for increased water repellency and moisture transport. Clever reflective elements on the cuffs and back pockets tuck out of sight when not needed. Designed specifically for women, the fit is athletic but relaxed.
The ride to work requires dynamic motion, so ergonomic freedom is vital in full length pants. Working from a women's specific design, Arc'teryx combines fabric and construction to provide that freedom. The Metro Tech™ twill has generous, responsive stretch properties. Articulation at the knees and the gusseted crotch provide freedom and help eliminate binding and chafing.
The realities of urban living are factored into the design. The reflectors add visibility when on the road, but tuck out of site for a clean look when not needed. The fabric has performance properties, but maintains the visual appeal of cotton twill. The zippered thigh pocket holds a smartphone, but the design is streamlined. The result is performance on the bike and off.

This week, what would you ask John Thackara, director of Doors of Perception?
Founded in 1993 as a conference in Amsterdam, Doors of Perception now organizes festivals and projects around the world in which grassroots innovators work with designers to imagine sustainable futures and take practical steps to realize them.
John also helps cities and regions build next-generation institutions. A former London bus driver, and later a book and magazine editor, John was the first director (1993-1999) of the Netherlands Design Institute. He has since served as program director (2007) of Designs of the time (Dott 07) a new biennial in northeast England, and commissioner (2008) of City Eco Lab, an event that took place at the esteemed French design biennial Cité du Design Saint Étienne.
John is also an associate of The Young Foundation, UK; senior advisor on sustainability to the UK Design Council; and an advisor on sustainability indicators to Agence France Presse.
But that's not all: He has authored many books including, In The Bubble: Designing In A Complex World (MIT Press), which examines the role of technology in our lives, how it will play out in the future, relying on people more than objects, and the importance of ethics and responsibility in design.
Needless to say, DESIGN 21 is pleased to have John's attention!
So what do you want to know about sustainable design and the future? This is your chance to ask John Thackara.
Post your questions here by September 10 at 4pm EST.

Though this leaves me to wonder if he's truly gone despite exploding. Some people have already come up with a theory to how it can be involved in a planned episode(spoilers). Only time will tell.
The real focus was on Twilight and this whole "destiny" theme they seem to be going with. Am I the only one who thinks Twilight's casual use of dark magic is going to come up eventually? The implications...

I'm sure there will be some kind of clearer explanation for what went down eventually, but I don't know when.
I think it would be really cute (and series-accurate) to have Aku tell Chi (and the readers) what happened between him and Blossom (and possibly Him) as a bedtime story. c:

This style is a customer favorite based on product review feedback.
This stylish full-zip girls' track jacket is packed with performance. Durable, pill-resistant fleece gets a boost in weather resistance with abrasion-resistant taffeta overlay protecting the chest and shoulders from everyday wear and tear. Taffeta panels are treated with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish to shed light rain and stop it from soaking through. The zippered Napoleon pocket has a screen-printed border for a sporty touch and is a good place to stash an extra granola bar for the trail. Welt hand pockets are a cozy place to warm hands on chilly days.
Stretch leggings paired with a lightweight fleece jacket and a breathable tee means that she doesn't need to sacrifice comfort for performance on the trails.

Fetal scalp pH testing is a procedure performed when a woman is in active labor to determine if the baby is getting enough oxygen.
Fetal scalp blood; Scalp pH testing; Fetal blood testing - scalp
The procedure typically takes about 5 minutes. The mother lies on her back with her feet in stirrups. If her cervix is dilated at least 3 to 4 centimeters, a plastic cone is placed in the vagina and fit snugly against the scalp of the fetus.
The scalp of the fetus is cleansed and pierced, and a small blood sample is taken for examination. The blood is collected in a thin tube. The tube is either sent to the hospital laboratory or analyzed by a machine in the labor and delivery department. In either case, results are available in just a few minutes.
If the woman's cervix is not dilated enough, it is impossible to perform this test.
The health care provider will explain the procedure and its risks. There isn't always a separate consent form for this procedure because many hospitals consider it part of the general consent form you signed at admission.
The procedure should feel like a long pelvic exam. At this stage of labor, many patients already have had epidural anesthesia and may not feel the pressure of the procedure at all.
Sometimes fetal heart monitoring doesn't provide enough information about the well-being of a baby. In these cases, testing the scalp pH can help the doctor decide whether the fetus is getting enough oxygen during labor. This helps determine whether the baby is healthy enough to continue labor, or if a forceps delivery or cesarean section might be the best route of delivery.
Although the test is not uncommon, most deliveries do not involve fetal scalp pH testing.
Normal fetal blood sample results are:
A fetal scalp blood pH level less than 7.20 is considered abnormal.
In general, low pH suggests that the baby does not have enough oxygen, which could mean that the baby is not tolerating labor very well. However, the results of a fetal scalp pH sample need to be interpreted in the context of each individual labor. The provider may feel that the results indicate that the baby needs to be delivered quickly, either by forceps or by cesarean section.
Fetal scalp pH testing may need to be repeated a few times during a complicated labor to continue to check on the baby.
Risks include the following:
This test is not recommended for mothers with infections, such as HIV or hepatitis C.

Last week my writer's group surprised me with a surprise poetry reading in honor of my University graduation. The members of the group brought my favorite poets as well as their favorite poets and I noticed something startling. Almost every poetry book that was brought was Canadian. I have often pondered this idea of what we represent as a culture and as I stared at the poetry books strewn across the table and listened to the words ease out of the tongues, I knew. Canadian poetry has a specific flavor that I cannot quite pinpoint. It is almost as if it is close to the ground. Earthy and colloquial. A language and cadence that reminds me of wheat fields, simplicity and northern breezes.
One of the members of the group, a children's writer, whose first language is not English had some trouble reading the likes of Ann Scowcroft. It is almost as if she expected the rhythm to zig instead of zag. The key she needed to read it was to just let it flow and allow the language to take her where it wanted to go. As I scan around my house, my poetry section is overwhelmingly Canadian. Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson and Rumi are a few names that stand out among a sea of Canadiana spines. Because I have trouble figuring out what makes Canadian poetry Canadian, I decided to create a mosaic poem province to province, coast to coast and maybe you could help me figure it out:
In deep sand a beetle shoulders
her way toward paradise
I think moth and the Miller moth
appears out of my mind
it sits on the kitchen windowpane
between pieces of smutty wings
I've smashed on the glass.
Maybe it was the way we became animals.
The rusty smell of turning meat on the grill,
the private urges of the bedroom, memory
the summer heat and the women arriving
in his truck night after night.
Obviously, if you're suffering from what that old Negro woman
in one of Faulkner's stories called "the mizry,"
better stay away from the hives.
Canadian bees, especially (like Canadian men), are comfortable
with three periods only (and occasionally a fourth or fifth in the spring),
but not one of these is menstrual.
The Mackenzie's mouth became
it's own channels.
The beluga whales swam into the
delta waters
as if to watch a river boat wade
out to salt sea.
We could ascend
For a sky dive drive, convertible down
Down the west coast fault line
Big Sur, down the magnetic incline
For a joy ride on the edge of tectonic cataclysm
Abysm deep as a sorcerer's paroxysm
At eleven million miles a minute
We could hang onto precarious cliffs like a couple
of unresolved endings.
India opened zero and gods
crawled out. Then everything else
fell in. Became, in falling, infinitely lovely, lit
with presence. Light in the still-life, spark in the field
we angle toward, odd-numbered
in a wonky sorrow, sight-lined to the vanishing point
with no end to speak of.
Everything about the place
demands affection…
In Edmonton, they are cursing
ancestors and old Volkswagens, shovelling
themselves into cardiac events.
In Churchill,
snow is an animal.
That hollow, hurried sound
feet on polished floor
and in the dollar store
the clerk is closing up
and counting loonies trying not to say,
I hate Winnipeg!
and your geezerly sofa slouch and snore bring to mind
Greek men sunning themselves on
Parc Athena benches.
In the long open Vancouver Island room
sitting by the indoor avacados
where indoor spring light
falls on the half-covered bulbs.
When I think travel, I think shed–
As in this skin into which I pour my life
by drop or downfall away away with the day-to-day,
the uninhabited rituals of morning,
the neediness of even a coffee cupm
with the hardened dust of fine grounds
just beneath its rim where milk foam lifted
but did not deliver them to your waiting mouth this morning.
This is the way of heaven and I try not to forget
as two miniscule clouds drift by almost motionless
carrying their single glass of water afraid to spill it.
In close-up, and in memory,
the tree frog wasn't really credible,
a translucent elf from some outer space,
splayed, finger pads extended,
on the porch screen. I gaped at it,
it gaped into the wide night.
The tao that can be spoken
is not the true Tao: so the sage,
who probably did not exist, and with
exquisite paradox, began.
I slipped off to fetch the camera
and when I got back it was gone.
An offering of my collection. A mosaic poem. Stanzas from Patrick Lane, Lorna Corzier, Rosemary Griebel, Tim Bowling, Robert Kroetsch, Sheri-d Wilson, Karen Solie, The Weakerthans, Carmine Starnino, Michael Ondaatje, Ann Scowcroft, Don Domanski and Don McKay respectively. Perhaps you, too, can see why I devour the Canadian stuff.

Miss Moore leads her class with the summa cum laude average of 92.54, and grad- uates with distinction in Economics and Politics. Miss Moore has also been outstand- ing in other fields than the strictly academic. She was, of course, presi- dent of the Undergraduate Associa- tion, and" hence also student repre- sentative on the May Day Directors' Committee, in which capacity she had the difficult task of serving as med- ium between the student body and the three directors. As chairman of the Curriculum Committee, she co-operat- ed with the faculty in working out a plan to relieve burden of overwork. Last year she was both president of her, class and vice-president of the Athletic Association, and, as a sopho- more, served as treasurer of the Self- Government Association. In addition, (Continued on Page Three) Bates House to Continue Although its budget has been cut, the Bates House Committee is plan- ning to take care of 120 children as usual, from New York and Philadel- phia. Betty Baumann will be the head worker and Marjorie Lee, '34, the permanent worker. The number of students who have signed up to help is adequate, ezeept for the sec- ond period. Bryn Mawr Summer School Will Run as Usual This Year Although its treasury will not be full enough to provide a carrying fund for the winter, the Bryn Mawr Sum- mer School will open as usual this June for an eight week session, with a hundred students expected to attend. A new feature on the program will 30 to July 5, to which twenty-five col- lege people from different colleges will be admitted, either undergradu- ates or recent alumnae, and a special schedule arranged. Anyone interested in the different aspects of workers' education and workers' problems is in- vited to apply. A charge of six dol- lars will be made for the -four-day stay. In addition to this, undergraduates from six colleges will attend the whole session. Sylvia Bowditch, '33, will be the Bryn Mawr representative, and there will also be students from Mt. Holyoke, Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, and Ohio State. The school has been unable to find a place for several other colleges. The general topic to be studied this year will be Social Control. Five spe- Members of Six Colleges Confer at Radcliffe Undergraduates from six' Eastern colleges for women, Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Wellesley, and Smith, meeting at Rad- cliffe on April 30 and May 1, learned that the colleges face similar prob- be the College Weekend from June Je,ns- of which the main one at Pres- cial aspects of this problem will be. low are listed the figures for schol- studied by the five groups into which the school will be divided, i. e., Cur- rent Economic Problems, Wages and Purchasing Power, History of Labor Movements, Social Reorganization, and Government and Political Parties. The science lab in Taylor, with its varied displays, is always a center of interest. For the first time, the work in science will be open to the whole school, instead of to only two groups. An endeavor will be made to ren- der history as vivid as possible by means of a history laboratory, with pictures, maps, and a stage where historical scenes may be enacted.

Members of the Alumnae Committee of Seven Colleges, the representative from Bryn Mawr being Mrs. Learned Hand of the Board of Directors, came to Cam- bridge so that they might find how the undergraduates could further the work of the Committee. This Com- mittee was appointed by the presi- dents of the above named six colleges and Vassar, and they were charged with the task of making the world conscious that the women's colleges need "parity" with the men's colleges in gifts and bequests. The specific major needs of each of the seven col- leges were outlined and in the listing of them one great fact stood out�the lack of scholarship endowment.

Radcliffe � $1,000,000 for scholar- ships and graduate fellowships. Smith�$1,500,000 endowment for scholarships. (Continued on Pave Seven) I On a perfectly cloudless day�and, remarkably enough, one without wind or dust, Vassar beat the Varsity ten- nis team by the score, 3-2. The Vas- star team as a whole seemed to play a much steadier game than the Bryn Mawr team; their forte being long volleys and backhand drives. In the number one match, Haskell, off her game and tired out by the long volleying, was unable to flatten her drives. Her smashes, an attempt to speed the game up, too, often went into the net. After a four love start in Richard's favor, Haskell finally got into form for one game, but lost the set to Richards' greater ease and steadiness of playing. A long drawn- out set followed, with each winning her own serve, and Haskell came out on top of a 7-5 score. In the third set, Richard's game, through accur- acy and steadiness rather than strength, overcame Haskell's supe- rior form. In the second match, which was the most interesting to watch, Boy- den topped Faeth � again through steadier playing. Faeth was in ex- cellent form, her shots neatly placed at her opponent's feet, and her serves extremely effective. Boyden's form was beautiful, but she seemed to lack force. Her greatest difficulty wa� in overcoming Faith's net smashes, but having gradually worn her opponent out, she won the first set 6-4. In the second set, Faeth settled down to win the set on her smashes and serve, 7-5. Losing her strength, she dropped the (Continued on Pate Five) The following is the list of the un- dergraduates of the Class of 1932 who are receiving today their Bach- elor of Arts degree from Bryn Mawr College.

Still a bit of a rookie. Have used PHP since age 13, now dabbling in a wider field including but not limited to Python, Ruby, Java and C++. Oh and I am taking time to learn assembly, more out of interest and to gain an appreciation of low-level computer function.
I am predominantly a hobbyist and program more as a creative outlet than a job. That said anything that I create that goes live I refuse to do so at anything less than a professional level of quality, and as such I am constantly learning and refining my skill-sets.

Mentor Graphics Veloce Deployed by Mitsubishi to Deliver High-Quality HDTV Video Decoder Chip
WILSONVILLE, Ore., October 15, 2008 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced that the Veloce® hardware-assisted verification platform, one of EDN's 2007 Hot 100 products, was used by Mitsubishi to verify its next generation HDTV Video Decoder IP. Mitsubishi has deployed a hardware-assisted (emulation) verification strategy over the last several years to help accelerate the verification cycle, validate circuit functionality with "real/live" data and ensure efficient pre- and post-silicon debug.
"Time-to-market pressure is severe for multimedia consumer products. We realize that hardware-software co-verification with real image data is mandatory for system-level sign-off," said Noriyuki Minegishi, Manager, LSI Design Methodology Team, SoC Technology Department. "We decided to transition to Veloce due to better capacity in a smaller foot-print, faster compile and MHZ-class run-time. We taped-out a design of a multi-standard HDTV video decoder using Veloce so far – the HDTV video decoder emulation identified over sixty bugs prior to tape-out, ensuring high quality of the RTL."
Most multi-media SoC designs consume billions of verification cycles. So design projects of this nature are well suited for an emulation-centric verification strategy where software simulation alone is not practical and hardware/software co-simulation with actual video image data is necessary. The use of an emulation-centric verification flow based on the Veloce product reduces hardware development time, allows verification teams to run more verification cycles, and prevents 'tape-out' delays and respins--ultimately allowing more verification while reducing verification cycle time.
"Mitsubishi routinely pushes the technology envelope to develop highly complex multimedia SoCs. Being part of their verification methodology re-affirms Veloce's unmatched value proposition for functional verification of complex chips," said Eric Selosse, general manager and vice president of Mentor's Emulation Division. "Mitsubishi joins a growing list of leading-edge customers who have incorporated Veloce into their functional verification flow."

I've been teaching 30+ years and have never seen anything like Starfall. The kids are mesmerized and learn so quickly. Thank you so much for creating such a vital resource in Education today. — First Grade Teacher I am thankful to have a tool that my students can access on our classroom computer, in the computer lab or at home. My students love it and they say it is fun. I don't think they even realize that they are learning! — 1st Grade Teacher I had just three children who passed DRA Reading Level 3 (grade level expectation). All of the other children were above that! Also, on the DIBELS test, all of the children ended the year at benchmark! Thank you so much! — Kindergarten Teacher |
Dear Educators: The Starfall reading program is designed to be fun, exciting, and to instill confidence in young children as they learn to read. The website and companion printed materials are clear and effective tools to help you implement proven teaching methods. Our website was created by carefully observing the way children learn using a computer. The Starfall Website is easy for students to navigate independently, but it is not intended as a surrogate for the teacher. Our scientific, research-based reading materials and activities are modeled on the "Big Five" focus areas recommended by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development: phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. We built-in a sixth we'd prefer not be overlooked—Motivation! Motivation Phonemic Awareness
Systematic Phonics
Fluency Comprehension Our program weaves these focus areas together into a cohesive, fun, and entertaining program that kids love! Sincerely, The Starfall Team |
Where children have fun learning to read
