Animal Welfare, Vegans and Vivisection
Animal Welfare - Morally Acceptable for Humans
Animal welfare refers to the viewpoint that it is morally acceptable for humans to use nonhuman animals in certain ways-for example, as food-so long as unnecessary suffering is avoided. This is contrasted with the animal rights position, which holds that other animals should not be used by humans, and should not be regarded as their property.
Systematic concern for the well-being of other animals probably arose in the Indus Valley Civilization as the religious ancestors return in animal form, and that animals must therefore be killed with the respect due to a human. This belief is exemplified in the existing religion, Jainism, and in varieties of other Indian religions. Other religions, specially those with roots in the Abrahamic religions, treat animals as the property of their owners, codifying rules for their care and slaughter intended to limit the distress, pain and fear animals experience under human control.
The UK government commissioned an investigation into the welfare of intensively farmed animals from Professor Roger Brambell in 1965, partly in response to concerns raised in Ruth Harrison's 1964 book, Animal Machines. On the basis of Professor Brambell's report, the UK government set up the Farm Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in 1967, which became the Farm Animal Welfare Council in 1979. The committee's first guidelines recommended that animals require the freedoms to 'turn around, to groom themselves, to get up, to lie down and to stretch their limbs'. These have since been elaborated to become known as the Five Freedoms of animal welfare:
The five freedoms
Freedom from thirst and hunger
Freedom from discomfort
Freedom from pain, injury, and disease
Freedom to express normal behavior
Freedom from fear and distress
Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle whose adherents seek to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Vegans endeavor not to use or consume animal products of any kind. The most common reasons for becoming a vegan are human health, ethical commitment or moral conviction concerning animal rights or welfare, the environment, and spiritual or religious concerns.Of particular concern to many vegans are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources for animal farming.
Properly planned vegan diets are healthful and have been found to satisfy nutritional needs. Poorly planned vegan diets can be low in levels of calcium, iodine, vitamin B12, iron and vitamin D. Various polls have reported vegans to be between 0.2% and 1.3% of the U.S. population, and between 0.25% and 0.4% of the UK population.
Vivisection is defined as surgery conducted for experimental purposes on a living organism, typically animals with a central nervous system, to view living internal structure. The term is sometimes more broadly defined as any experimentation on live animals; see animal testing. The term is often used by organizations opposed to animal experimentation and is no longer used by practicing scientists.
Research requiring vivisection techniques that cannot be met through other means are often subject to an external ethics review in conception and implementation, and in many jurisdictions, use of anaesthesia is legally mandated for any surgery likely to cause pain to any vertebrate. In the U.S., the Animal Welfare Act explicitly requires that any procedure that may cause pain utilize "tranquilizers, analgesics, and anesthetics",with exceptions when "scientifically necessary". The Act does not define "scientific necessity" or regulate specific scientific procedures; instead, approval or rejection of individual techniques in each federally-funded lab is determined on a case-by-case basis by an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, which contains at least one veterinarian, one scientist, one non-scientist, and one individual from outside the university.

City car crash damages houseMay 22,2013Car crash
damages house
A car crash at the intersection of Forest and South streets in Rutland damaged a home when one of the cars careened into the porch.
Two children in one of the vehicles were taken to the hospital for examination, according to city police.
Police say two cars crashed in the intersection at around 9:30 p.m. Sunday. One of the drivers, 26-year-old Bethany Thompson of Rutland, failed to yield to another car already in the intersection driven by 29-year-old Sheila Nichols of Rutland, according to police.
When the two vehicles collided, Nichols sandals reportedly became stuck to the pedal and she was unable to stop the car before it struck the porch of the house at 101 Forest St. The damage to the structure was described as significant with more than $2,000 worth of repairs estimated by the homeowner.
Police said two children ages 3 and 8 who were riding in the backseat of Thompsons car were taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center after the crash.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

Who's Not Happy With That Farmers Market Regulation Proposal? Some Cliffdwellers.
Those following along Monday read Jim's account of the council committee meeting during which members debated regulating neighborhood farmers markets, in part to protect the city's investment in the downtown Dallas Farmers Market. Over on the Bike Friendly Oak Cliff blog there's this response:
As Oak Cliff slowly shakes off the decades of neglect due to car-first planning which saw the dismantling of our streetcar system, destruction of historic structures in favor of parking lots, the creation of wide one-way thoroufares through the heart of our residential neighborhoods, all of which only benefited the sprawling suburban areas of the city, it's amazing to see efforts being put forth to stop homegrown grassroots efforts that are actually working. The latest afront is a plan put forth by city staff to regulate and limit the number of open air markets and community gardens in the area by creating a central regulatory body that would oversee the entire process. And why?
To protect the Downtown Farmers Market, which has been ailing for years, and definitely deserves our support, but not at the detriment of our own community. The ripple effects here have the potential to end our amazing events like Bolsa's monthly local farmers market, Make's Urban Bazaar, Bishop Arts CliffFest, and the handful of new community gardens that are beginning to spring up. Point of fact, Bolsa's market is responsible for launching new businesses in the area like Dude Sweet, Chocolate, while Make's Urban Bazaar started off in the Downtown Farmers' Market but left due to the heavy restrictions put in place by the city.

Welcome back to the newest addition to the Impossible Blog: Analog Travelog. We'll be sharing with you fantastic instant photos taken on voyages the world over. This entry focuses on our good friend Azuree Wiitala and her recent visit to Minneapolis…
My Mom had come to visit from Puerto Rico for my birthday. I only had a few days off in a row while she was in town and being the spontaneous person that she is, she saw those days as plenty of time for a short, sweet little adventure. Minneapolis is only about an hour long plane ride away from Chicago (where we live) so she booked tickets for us and off we went! Once we landed in Minneapolis we became a little weary of our decision, seeing as one of the magazines we read once there cited "going to Target to see the cart escalator" as one of the attractions, we wondered what exactly we had gotten ourselves into!
Seeing as it was my birthday week and I was raised in the suburbs it was only appropriate that we head over to The Mall of America for some shopping and for the sake of nostalgia. That place is a child's dream come true. A theme park inside of a mall. I loved the carousel there, I have an affinity for them! We also visited a little town called Edina that was really cute and The Minneapolis Institute of Art. I L O V E museums. There's something so surreal about seeing famous works of art in the flesh. I get especially thrilled about seeing my favorite photographs printed large and hung on a bare wall. It was at the MIA that I saw the famous Dorothea Lange print and my very favorite of Henri Cartier-Bresson's prints. I couldn't help myself, I shot a picture of it to take home with me when no one was looking!
I ALWAYS take my SX-70 with me on trips and this one was no exception. I brought two special editions of film with me, the Pigeonhole PX 680 and the Holden Edition PX 680 film. I liked the challenge of finding things that would look nice within the colorful borders of the Pigeon film and was very happily surprised at the more subdued little drawings of the Holden Edition film. That film was especially fun to shoot because you didn't know what border you would get with each photo, but somehow they all seemed appropriate to the subject. I love shooting Impossible Project film. I love the dreamy quality of the film, the little imperfections and most importantly – the preservation of memories that are made, instantly!
Minneapolis was a fun place to visit and the time spent on this little adventure with my Mom was priceless. I'm so thankful that The Impossible Project has taken it upon themselves to continue the integral film legacy and allow us to continue to capture our favorite moments on instant film!
About Azuree
I live in Chicago with my husband and two rabbits and love shooting Impossible Project films, traveling and listening to Ryan Adams.
Thanks to Azuree for taking part! Be sure to visit her Etsy shop at xoazuree.etsy.com

I'm all for additional move slots actually. However, what I'd like to get is swappable moves.
- Each Pokémon still have 4 move slots.
- Each Pokémon also have 2 backup move slots.
- Before battle, trainers could swap moves.
Let's say that your Charizard has these moves:
-Fire Blast
-Air Slash
-Focus Blast
-Solarbeam (b)
-Sunny Day (b)
Well for one battle, it could have:
-Fire Blast
-Air Slash
-Focus Blast
For another battle, you could rearrange it to:
-Fire Blast
-Sunny Day

Couldn't you just put 4 blocks in a square shape right next to each other, then place the last directly on top of the one of the others. Then when you look from directly above it, it'll look like a square, but there would still be five blocks.
That or throw one of the blocks out the window and arrange the others into a square.

I like this idea, and would add that I think anything taught by an HM should be permanently useable, though not necessarily in battle. Separate the move from the ability; teach both or just the ability (or perhaps just the attack if you have another with the ability and don't like any but your HM dog having a list), but keep the ability retained, so we can change all moves on the fly.
But that's just a mechanic choice.

Having four moves is fine, but it would be nice HM moves could be learned without taking up a move slot. And it would be nice if we had the option to switch the HM move in and out of the Pokemon's move pool if we pleased.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - Vietnam is stepping up security to safeguard foreign visitors, whose numbers rose 11.3 percent in the first 10 months of the year, officials say.
Recent surveys of tourism industry officials have rated Vietnam as one of the safest countries in the Pacific region, but the Oct. 12 terrorist bombings on Indonesia's Bali island have prompted concern about security at destinations across Southeast Asia.
"The government of Vietnam is urging all government bodies and local authorities to step up security measures - including employing more staff for security checking at border points, tourist sites and all commercial areas - to safeguard international visitors," said Nguyen Van Luu, director of the National Administration of Tourism's international relations department.
The tourism administration said 2.175 million foreign visitors arrived in Vietnam during the January-October period. Of that total, 1.2 million were tourists, a 17.3 percent increase from a year ago, it said.
Other arrivals included 362,094 business visitors - up 10.4 percent from last year - and 365,387 who came to visit family members in Vietnam, up 9.8 percent from a year ago. The overall increase in all foreign visitors was 11.3 percent.

hi they have a cream back round then the strips are wine green and dark orange so they match quite a lot
Hi offer €80 for both subject to a final check on measurements as I very tight for width? Could you measure the rail & confirm the exact measurement please? I think the space between my presses at one of my windows is just 60inches. Also can you confirm how old the blinds are & the condition of them?
@yahoo: the blinds are a little over 60 inches and are 2 years old and in great condition, they were picked from a book and made to order so they are not like what you'd buy in argos or b&q, I couldn't let them go for less than €95 thanks.

mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
such hardware should simply set the
IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
with the
IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
it finds traffic directed to it.
IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
back to sleep at appropriate times.
When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
by mac80211 by combining the
IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle periods.
Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set
flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep
enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
IEEE80211_VIF_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
uapsd parameter in
conf_tx operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with

An investigation involving adding and subtracting sets of consecutive numbers. Lots to find out, lots to explore.
What is the smallest number with exactly 14 divisors?
Many numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive integers. For example, 15=7+8 and 10=1+2+3+4. Can you say which numbers can be expressed in this way?
This is the only solution of the equation for which x and y are whole numbers. Another way of looking at this is to say that 26 is the only whole number "sandwiched" between a perfect square and a perfect cube. This was proved by the French mathematician, Pierre de Fermat, in the 17th Century.
This problem is taken from the UKMT Mathematical Challenges.View the archive of all weekly problems grouped by curriculum topic

sizzling / popping during snowboard waxing?
anybody else ever experienced sizzling / popping during snowboard waxing?
I was waxing my board this AM and heard some...just a little here and there, with some steam/smoke. Iron was set to usual temp which doesn't give smoke typically. Only difference is that I had carried my snowboard in a damp snowboard bag to the garage right before waxing (stupid me). I figure some dampness went from the bag into the board's base, and started boiling off during the waxing process. I didn't smell any burnt wax and the base looks fine. Just wonderin'
Probably just the moisture from the board.
Definitely moisture. Same idea as when you get water on a hot skillet.

You can use coconut
Can you get thicker, healthier hair from using coconut oil on dry hair?
It turns out this is one of the best oils for dry hair. In fact, research shows these oils can actually penetrate the hair shaft which may lead to stronger and thicker hair!
Mumbai, India - Researchers conducted a study to determine if coconut oil is an effective treatment for dry, damaged hair.
Previous research showed coconut oil helps prevent hair damage from combing. This study was done to compare the effects of different oils on hair in treating dryness and overall hair health.
Researchers used the following three oils to compare their effects on dry hair:
Mineral oil - This is used in many hair oil formulas in India. It's non-greasy and is low cost.
Sunflower oil - This is the second most widely base oil in many hair oil formulas. It has a low freezing point and it's odorless at room temperature.
Coconut oil - This healthy oil is made up of special fats which are attracted to hair proteins; it's believed this action allows the oils to actually penetrate the hair shaft.
Researchers applied the three oils to hair samples and then analyzed the hairs to determine if there were any changes in their structure and appearance.
Coconut oil was the only oil that reduced protein loss in damaged and undamaged hair.
Sunflower and Mineral oil did not help in reducing protein loss in hair.
Researchers concluded that using coconut oil on dry hair may give you thicker hair with less drying and split ends. It appears that coconut oil was the only natural oil that could penetrate the hair shaft; this helps prevent hair damage and dryness resulting in stronger and healthier hair.
Scientists believe the fatty acids in coconut oil penetrate the hair shaft which may help reduce protein loss which can help thicken and strengthen your hair.
I've tried it and found it did make my hair appear thicker and fuller. It's really easy to do and you can also learn how to use Virgin Coconut Oil for hair moisturizing and conditioning.
If you're looking for a natural way to thicken and moisturize your hair, give it a try. Coconut oil is one of the best oils to penetrate the hair shaft.
If you don't want to use coconut oil 'straight' on your hair, you can get hair care products that have coconut oil added to them.
The following hair care products contain coconut oil for moisturizing and hair conditioning:
Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Self-Heating Coconut Oil contains coconut oil to add hydration and balance to your hair. You also get a blend of organic coconut milk to nourish your hair and egg proteins to add strength and elasticity.
If you want even more shine and want to prevent split ends and dryness, try using Vigorol Coconut Oil Conditioning Hair Dress This moisture-resistant formula will give your hair the nourishment it needs to stay soft and supple.
Using Organic Fiji Nourishing Lotion is a natural way to moisturize and treat dry and irritated skin. This can even be used as an intensive treatment for damaged hair. It's contains vitamins and anti-oxidants for added hair health.
Using pure and natural coconut oil on dry hair is one of the best ways to treat and moisturize the hair shaft. Virgin coconut oil's penetrating qualities make it the ideal natural oil for thick healthy hair.

Aggie Coaches Get Soaked #Chillin4Charity
UC Davis women's basketball coaching staff doused in support of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund
Teramoto joined the UC Davis staff in June of 2006, helping the Aggies to four postseason appearances -- including a Big West Conference tournament title, a 24-win season, and the team's first trip to the NCAA Tournament at the Division I level in 2011. He has also helped guide the Aggies to WNIT berths in 2008 -- the program's first full season of Division I competition -- as well as 2010 and 2012.
Working on UC Davis' inside presence, Teramoto has helped developed some of the top post players in school history. Forward Paige Mintun was a three-time first-team All-Big West Conference selection, including leading the team in both scoring (13.0 ppg) and rebounding (4.5 rpg) as the Aggies posted 21 wins and claimed the Big West regular season crown.
Ellen Porshneva (2004-07), who became the 12th Aggie to score 1,000 points for her career and ranks seventh on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,251 points, along with Big West Conference Freshman of the Year Lauren Juric (2009-12), were two other posts that flourished under Teramoto's tutelage in the program's Division I infancy.
The 2012-13 season saw the arrival of highly touted post players Alyson Doherty and Celia Marfone, the former claiming Big West All-Freshman Team honors and a pair of All-Big West second team laurels, with the latter ranking among the top 10 in the Big West in rebounding each of the last two seasons. In addition, Doherty also led the conference in field goal percentage (.557) as a sophomore in 2013-14.
Prior to his arrival at UC Davis, Teramoto served as an assistant coach at Saint Mary's from 2003-2006. During his three years with the Gaels, he was involved in all aspects of the program and primarily worked with post players.
Teramoto graduated from Cal Poly in 2002 with a bachelor's degree in biological sciences and a minor in biotechnology. He earned his master's in educational leadership, also from Cal Poly, in 2007. While still in high school and college, Teramoto spent three seasons coaching junior high basketball before moving up for three seasons at San Luis Obispo HS. As the varsity coach in 2002-03, the Tigers finished 22-3 overall and 12-0 in the Pac-5 League.
A native of Concord, Calif., Teramoto prepped at Ygnacio Valley HS where he competed in basketball, water polo, tennis, and swimming, earning 10 varsity letters and graduating as the only student in Warrior history to be named Athlete of the Year and valedictorian in the same year.
Teramoto married UC Davis head coach Jennifer Gross in 2010 when they were both assistants on former coach Sandy Simpson's staff. The couple has a son, Joshua, and a daughter, Amelia.

Kernel Bug Tracker – Bug 9867
sysfs files can be truncated
Last modified: 2008-06-02 00:30:14 UTC
sysfs allows attribute files to be truncated, e.g. using ftruncate(), with the expected effect on their inode - but this doesn't change the "real" size of the file i.e. how much can be read from it.
The parameter validation for reading and writing binary attribute files is based the inode size and not the size specified in the file's bin_attribute, so it can be broken by this. For example, if we try using dd to write to such a file:
# pwd
# ls -l config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 17:35 config
# dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
# ls -l config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 1 17:50 config
# dd if=/dev/zero of=config bs=4 count=1 seek=128
dd: writing `config': No space left on device
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
Note that after the truncation to 0 by the first use of dd, parameter validation for read and write is disabled. Most bin_attribute read and write methods also validate the size and offset, but for some this will allow out-of-range access. (I don't see this as a security issue, because access to the sysfs files is privileged anyway. But the validation should remain for safety's sake!)
I think sysfs should ignore size changes or refuse them (by returning -EINVAL). The following change (modulo whitespace mangling) works for me:
--- a/fs/sysfs/inode.c
+++ b/fs/sysfs/inode.c
@@ -59,6 +59,8 @@
if (error)
return error;
+ iattr->ia_valid &= ~ATTR_SIZE; /* ignore size changes */
error = inode_setattr(inode, iattr);
if (error)
return error;
Patch is in, commit 40a2159abf3d0107bba359246554bd7d56f2171b - thanks.

EFA Global Monitoring Report 2013/4: Teaching and Learning - Achieving Quality for All launched in New Delhi
Two thirds of children in South and West Asia are not learning the basics in reading and maths, whether they are in school or not
The National launch of the EFA Global Monitoring Report, 2013/4: Teaching and Learning: Achieving quality for all, took place at the India International Centre Annexe, 40, Maxmuller Marg, New Delhi on 29 January 2014. The report along with the Hindi version of the Summary, was launched by Shri Manish Sisodia, Hon'ble Minister of Education, PWD, Urban Development and Revenue, Government of Delhi, Dr Amarjit Singh, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, and Mr Shigeru Aoyagi, UNESCO Representative to India, Bhutan, Maldives and Sri Lanka and Director of UNESCO New Delhi Office in the presence of Dr S. S. Jena, Chairperson, National Institute of Open Schooling, and many other dignitaries. At this occasion, an expert panel composed of Government officials, representatives from the education NGOs, CSOs, teacher education institutions, universities, teachers, and partners, shared their experiences on teaching and learning and interact with the media.
The 11th Education for All Global Monitoring Report reveals that a global learning crisis is costing governments $129 billion a year. Ten per cent of global spending on primary education is being lost on poor quality education that is failing to ensure that children learn. This situation leaves one in four young people in poor countries unable to read a single sentence, affecting one third of young women in South and West Asia (includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka). The Report concludes that good teachers are the key to improvement and calls on governments to provide the best in the profession to those who need them most.
Hon'ble Minister Sisodia spoke about the many challenges of the Indian education system and said "Even after 20 years of education our students are not confident of securing a job for themselves. The country needs to change and that can happen only with more spending on classrooms and education. I think the education goals are important but more paramount are the goals of education."
Mr. Shigeru Aoyagi, UNESCO Representative to India, Bhutan, Maldives and Sri Lanka and Director of UNESCO New Delhi Office remarked: "The Report shows that lack of attention to education quality and a failure to reach the marginalized have contributed to a learning crisis that needs urgent attention. Worldwide, 250 million children – many of them from disadvantaged backgrounds are not learning the basis. As a country that has almost universalized primary education, India, like many other countries, is facing the challenge of quality and learning. The most crucial agents of quality education and learning are teachers and students. As such, this new issue of EFA GMR comes in very timely and topical within the ongoing global education debates."
This year's Report, Teaching and learning: Achieving quality for all, warns that without attracting and adequately training enough teachers the learning crisis will last for several generations and hit the disadvantaged hardest. In South and West Asia, where about 33 in 100 children of primary school age are learning the basics in reading, the share ranges from about 90% in the Islamic Republic of Iran to less than 30% in Pakistan.
On current trends, the Report projects that it will take until 2072 year for all the poorest young women in developing countries to be literate. The disadvantaged – girls and those in poverty – are being left behind: In India, the richest young women have already achieved universal literacy but the poorest will only do so around 2080. However, with the right policies in place, fast progress is possible: in Nepal, the literacy rate of the poorest young women tripled from 18% in 2001 to 54% in 2011.
In order to improve the quality of education, between 2011 and 2015, South and West Asia needs to recruit an additional 1 million additional teachers per year to reach a ratio of 32 pupils per teacher in lower secondary education. However, teachers also need training. In a third of countries analysed by the Report, less than three-quarters of existing primary school teachers are trained to national standards.
"Teachers have the future of this generation in their hands," said UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova. "We need 5.2 million teachers to be recruited by 2015, and we need to work harder to support them in providing children with their right to a universal, free and quality education. We must also make sure that there is an explicit commitment to equity in new global education goals set after 2015, with indicators tracking the progress of the marginalized so that no one is left behind."
The Report calculates that in total, 37 countries are losing at least half the amount they spend on primary education because children are not learning. By contrast, the Report shows that ensuring an equal, quality education for all can generate huge economic rewards, increasing a country's gross domestic product per capita by 23 per cent over 40 years. The Report shows that to achieve good quality education for all, governments must provide enough trained teachers, and focus their teacher policies on meeting the needs of the disadvantaged. This means attracting the best candidates into teaching; giving them relevant training; deploying them within countries to areas where they are needed most; and offering them incentives to make a long-term commitment to teaching. In Sri Lanka teachers trained to develop lesson plans and grade-appropriate tasks for multi-grade classes had a positive impact on pupils' achievement in mathematics. The Report also highlights the need to address gender-based violence in schools, a major barrier to quality and equality in education. It underscores the importance of curriculum and assessment strategies to promote inclusion and improve learning.
The Report makes the following recommendations:
- New education goals after 2015 must include an explicit commitment to equity so that every child has an equal chance of an education. New goals need clear, measurable targets with indicators that will track the progress of the most disadvantaged.
- New goals after 2015 must ensure that every child is in school and learning the basics. Children do not only have the right to be in school, but also to learn while there, and to emerge with the skills they need to find secure, well-paid work.
- Ensure the best teachers reach the learners who need them most. National education plans must include an explicit commitment to reaching the marginalized. Teachers should be recruited locally, or have similar backgrounds to disadvantaged learners. Every teacher needs pre and in-service training on ways to target support to disadvantaged children. Incentives must be provided to ensure the best teachers work in remote, under-served areas. Governments must work to retain their best teachers, providing pay that meets at least their basic needs, good working conditions and a career path.
The EFA Global Monitoring Report is developed annually by an independent team and published by UNESCO. The full report is available online at: www.efareport.unesco.org ; World Education Blog: http://efareport.wordpress.com

Vegetable Swallow - Poem by Tristan Tzara
two smiles meet towards
the child-wheel of my zeal
the bloody baggage of creatures
made flesh in physical legends-lives
the nimble stags storms cloud over
rain falls under the scissors of
the dark hairdresser-furiously
swimming under the clashing arpeggios
in the machine's sap grass
grows around with sharp eyes
here the share of our caresses
dead and departed with the waves
gives itself up to the judgment of time
parted by the meridian of hairs
non strikes in our hands
the spices of human pleasures

I was hoping To Make a Dadist Poen was written in jest. Apparently not. I believe he cut up a book of poetry to create this. I think I'll try this technique. But if awarded with praise, I am fleeing this planet. (Report) Reply

Dadaism is a semi-surrealistic and semi-humorous way to cause impressions and transmit smiles. The attempts to interpret the verses, of a D. poem, are always imprecise, but the poet provokes through his lines, the mind of the reader to continue pursuing the hidden message! . As an example of Dadaism I propose my poem { - Peppermint Pigs }. It is surreal, metrical and non-political! I llike it! (Report) Reply

Hello all,
I'm new to this forum. I've had my Portege R835-P81 for 2 days. During those two days, I've already used it for processor-intensive activities (compiling large C++ and Java code). During this time, my CPU temperature reaches 100 degrees celsius, which is the upper limit for the i5-2435M. At 101, the CPU will force a thermal overload condition and power off the laptop. It avoids this by throttling its clock speed to 800MHz as it waits for the temperature to return to 99C. Then, the cycle repeats until the load on the system is reduced.
I read another post on this, and it seems this same problem exists with the R835-P56x series, the predecessor to mine. Does anyone know if there is a proper fix for this problem, or must I underpower my CPU in order to use it without burning it to a crisp?
I have to say I'm very disappointed with this. Toshiba, please expect your users to use the CPU at high load for more than 30 seconds. Consistent load temps of 100C will ruin my CPU over time as the die expands and contracts. I find it unreasonable to advertise a system that cannot perform at its specifications.
Any ideas are appreciated. I will say that I am already aware that I might be able to save the temperatures by reducing my CPU clock frequency to max out around 2GHz or so. I'd like to hear that there is another solution, although I don't expect one. After the warranty period expires, maybe I should lap the heatsink and put silver thermal paste on it?
quite strange that Java and C++
is pushing the CPU close to extinction.
are you compiling and running Turing machines
at the same time?
I usually get the temp very high when recoding
videos. but I am using mainly freeware without
sophisticated memory caching algorithms like
VirtualDub, WinFF, etc using XviD codecs.
they usually give me an hours long re-write-temp-cache-
led-lightshow of my harddisk indicator. that may
contribute pushing the cpu almost over the edge.
even so, like with the battery life or petrol use -
companies do always disguise under what circumstances and
for how long they achieved fully trumpeted maximum
ever noticed that the maximum number of the speed indicator
in the dashboard is, whatever car you may buy, always far
beyond reach, whereas it is very easy to push the rev counter
needle into the red?
Thanks for your response. Actually what is going on is a 5-threaded C++ compile of Libre Office using G++. I haven't tried video transcoding yet, but I am sure that will be a doozie as well. If I were to try it, I would probably use ffmpeg or similar, though. There was some hard drive activity during the compile, but perhaps not as much as you might think. It was using plenty of RAM during this process, of course.
One more thing, it idles around 65C. Under minor load, it reaches around 75C.
You are right about advertising, of course; I am just pointing this out so other people are aware of the problem. I do consider it a problem and a design flaw, and although it is as common as grass in the plain, I don't think it's okay to disguise specifications.
I would like to know exactly what kind of fan is in this PC, how fast it runs, and the size and material of the heatsink/heat pipes. I wonder if anyone on this forum has pictures, white papers, or anything of the sort? It may be that it is top notch and cannot be improved, but I have difficulty believing that off hand.
Speaking of the fan, is there any way to control the fan on this machine, or to read information about the heatsink temperature and fan speed? That would be very nice! If anyone knows, please enlighten us. =)
By the way, are you also using an R835-P81? I assumed so, but you didn't mention it specifically.
It's really easy to open it up and see what's in there yourself if you are inclined enough. You can also search for R700 heatsinks as they are very similar, but the plate that touches the cpu is made with aluminum and is bigger on the R700. Or watch this guy's review on youtube. He basically complains about the heat sink fin's being alumimum and not copper. I don't know if it would have made much difference though. I think it would have worked much better if the fins and vents were twice the current length and move the vga port to some other place.
When I replaced the thermal paste, the original goop looked okay, so that didn't really make any difference (maybe 1-3C). So I have to say it's the heatsink itself that can't handle all the heat if it's loaded at 2.8GHz for more than 30 seconds. It does a great job on light to moderate load, but not so well when it's severely loaded. Mine stays idle around 47C right now.
I did add a small copper block heatsink on the north bridge chip though. It doesn't really heat up, but since I had a small vga ram heat sink and thermal tape, I put it on. But this doesn't help with the cpu heat at all.

65 C idle is not a normal idling temperature. I would consider exchange/refund. [normal is usually high 30s to very low 50s]

Hi alexmuw,
"65 C idle is not a normal idling temperature.

that depends what idle is considered to be and
where. would you mind referencing the Toshiba
source of your quote (not a software program)
prior me or others starting claiming refund for
no reason?

Hello all,
Just an update on this. I've enabled some changes in my BIOS that have improved cooling to some degree. Using "Optimized Cooling" under the fan control section of the BIOS brings my idle temperatures down to the 49-54C range. This is MUCH better and what I would consider acceptable. However, I still have not solved the inherent problem that still exists under heavy load (~100C temperatures).
It is true that Toshiba has *lied* to customers regarding the copper-core heatsink. Only my heat spreader and heat pipe are copper. The heatsink itself is aluminum. I can see this without even opening the laptop, as the heatsink is clearly visible through the exhaust grate. While this is really awful, I cannot say I had expected the copper heatsink, as I did not even see that advertisement before purchasing - I suppose they don't advertise it anymore after it was discovered to be a bait and switch.
I am considering the option of thickening the heat spreader on the CPU by inserting a properly-sized copper block between the CPU and heat spreader, in the hopes that an increase in heat capacity may quell high temperatures and pipe the heat into the heatsink faster. I am not sure if this would bring a marked improvement, however, because the act of putting a separate piece of metal between the heat spreader and CPU may cause a severe degradation in heat transfer, even if it is the same metal (Copper). I am also considering searching out a copper version of the heatsink itself, if one exists anywhere for purchase. I am hardly expecting there to be a public source of these, but I may get lucky.
In any case, the idea of sending it back is not a pleasant one. I need this laptop for school and have grown very partial to it. Aside from the thermal issues, the laptop is absolutely perfect for my needs. The only thing I'd ask for is a couple of extra hardware sensors within the chassis, especially for fan speed, and a FAN CONTROLLER. I would like to ruin the fan keeping my (much more expensive) CPU cool, but so far it seems that only the BIOS can control that.
Thanks to the person who posted that Youtube video about the cooling design. That proved very helpful and illuminating. Interesting to hear your results regarding the thermal paste. I'm curious about which is worse, the heat spreader or the heat sink. One of them is bottlenecking the heat dissipation. If I could see the heatsink temperature, I'd be able to tell which it is. I have a feeling it's the heat capacity of the spreader itself that is the problem, though, judging by how quickly the chip temperature increases. A heat spreader with more mass should be able to slow the temperature changes (unfortunately that works both ways, cold to hot and hot to cold).
Incidentally, I've also been able to tweak the power management settings enough where I can get 6.5 hours of battery life with ease while at school. The laptop draws less than 10W while idle, reaching as low as 8.5W. Very impressive!
Hi David,
Glad to hear some one else is having similar problems with overheating. I haven't had such high temps, but rather rapidly fluctuating temperature and fan speed. I've been fooling around with power setting, but with not much luck. Interestingly, the problem is very different (and better) when I'm running on battery and not connected to the AC adapter. I'm interested to know how you changed the fan settings in the BIOS. Any other settings you can change in there? Also, did you change any other settings that you think made a difference? Thanks!
I had the same problems with my Portege R705-P35 which resembles in design with the R835. I my case I did not change any settings and I had to actually disassemble the laptop to figure out the problem. First of all, the thermal paste was dried and I bought a IC Diamond one which seemed to lower my CPU temp from 63C idle (85-90C load) to an 55C (75-85C load). I was still bothered by it and I took the laptop apart a second time to find out the real problem. The fan blows air on top and underneath the motherboard. The air exists through the heat sink from both top/bottom. However, on the bottom, there are a few plastic thin sheets that probably protect from getting dust/water from the keyboard. The sheet next to the fan was not well glued to some metal part and was flopping around and blocking the air from going underneath the motherboard (where the CPU is). So glued that, reapplied my thermal paste (since the first time I placed a little bit to much) and now ... it is awesome: 38-44C idle (65-75C load).
All my tests for CPU on load were done using Firefox with a 1080p quality YouTube video, Media player and VLC player playing two movies.
After a couple years my R835-P56 was running noticeably hotter under load, about 80C rather than 50C using RealTemp. So, I removed the bottom and replaced the dried up thermal compund on the CPU and cleaned the fan. That helped, but the fan still cycled to high speeds and temperature was not as low as original.
So I went back in and lifted the motherboard just slightly near the fan (you can avoid removing any cables). Indeed, there is a plastic sheet that was warped so that some of the fan air was blocked from blowing beneath the motherboard. I glued the edge of the plastic sheet down to the case to allow air to blow on the bottom of the motherboard. Voila! Back to original performance, 50-60C even under heavy video loads.
This is fairly easy to do if you have a very small phillips screwdriver, patience, and some mechanical apptitude. Remove the battery, then remove every screw from the bottom, placing them on a flat surface in the same locations you removed them. Carefully pop off the bottom - you'll need to jiggle it around a little to clear the video connector. Unplug and remove the fan (2 screws); clean the fan and the case screen. Remove the heat sink; clean off the dried thermal compoud and clear the heat exchanger fins.
Now remove the 2 screws holding the motherboard to the case and the 2 screws holding the video connector to the motheraboard. Carefully lift the motherboard lightly near where the fan was. You'll see a plastic sheet the needs to be glued down to the case so air can flow on the underside of the motherboard. A toothpick and a LITTLE bit of RTV works well.
Replace the four screws just removed that hold the motherboard. Wipe the thermal compound off the CPU and apply a good quality thermal grease. Replace the heatsink and the fan - don't forget to plug in the fan. Jiggle the bottom around untill it pops into place and replace all the screws where you removed them. Good luck!

Not really sure if that's the right way to phrase it. I'm just looking at the numbers on my blog entries. I went from the 2-300 views range to 5-600 range in what feels like a couple of weeks. Now I'd like to believe that I'm that popular of a blogger, but sadly I'm a little too realistic to swallow that. Don't know if you maintain detail on unique visits, but I'd be interested to know what's going on.
It's the NSA
Somebody's got a secret admirer?????
Without knowing where those views are coming from it's a bit harder to say, but as the southern hemispheres season is about to go into overdrive I would speculate they're coming from down there.
;). (...sorry, just seemed an "obvious" mistake!) :laugh:
....please don't hurt me!!!
Reachin for the ESC Key?????
Pretty sure it was "I'll type this in all CAPS and show them"
Most likely answer is it's a search engine bot indexing pages or ad related bot/program crawling through web pages and artificially inflating the number of visits to your blogs.
The sudden inflation can be any number of things such as a change in the site's SEO structure making your blogs more visited by crawlers. I'd imagine snowboardingforum gets crawled by search engine bots a lot since it ranks highly for a lot of random snowboard terms.
Either that or you really do have a stalker :p

This photo shows actress and Playboy centerfold Sally Todd in L.A. County Court, where she was answering for drunk driving charges. Todd had triggered an August 1958 traffic accident, a five-car smash-up so violent that she was ejected from the passenger window of her sports car, but survived with minor injuries. A miracle? Perhaps, if you believe in such things. What may be even more miraculous is that charges against her were dropped, though she admitted having had drinks. Most accounts say that happened in September, but this photo, which is from the digital archive of the Los Angeles Examiner, is dated December 1, suggesting either charges were not dropped until later in the year than most sources say, or that Todd made a return trip to court for a second driving offense. We're going with option one—the photo, which we have no doubt is correctly dated, was made when she appeared in court and learned that August's drunk driving charges against her had been dropped. That was today in 1958.

French burlesque dancer Yvonne Ménard is all smiles, and why not? That thing she wears between her legs probably tickles. Ménard also may be smiling because when these photos were taken she was about as famous as a dancer could be. She had started as a nude mannequin at La Cigale, then joined the cast of Folies Bergère as a replacement for a departing Josephine Baker after understudying the great American star during the 1949 season. Ménard was twenty when she took the lead role—the photos above were made backstage at the Folies shortly afterward. One of the acts Ménard developed showed her struggling against the lure of opium. She wore only her famous glittering leaf, and battled dark male figures only to be eventually carried by them into a smoking pit.
Ménard's performances were a bit different from Baker's—she couldn't sing as well, and her dancing was a work in progress, but she would eventually master various flips and aerial maneuvers, which she once demonstrated for a photo feature in Life magazine. She toured the U.S. numerous times, making stops in New York, Miami Beach, and Las Vegas, and also performed in South America. Somewhere in there she made time to appear on the cover of the third issue of Playboy, in February 1954, and writer Georges Tabet said inside the issue, "Yvonne is the crystallization of Paris. She's got a petit quelque chose—a little something—that you have to be born with. Chevalier, he has it in his smile. Edith Piaf has it in her voice. This one—she has it all over."

Tempo was a pocket-sized celeb and pop culture magazine published bi-weekly out of Atlanta and New York City by Sports Report, Inc. We don't know how long it lasted—this one is vol. 7, issue 9—but we know we've never seen one dated before 1953 or after 1958. When Dane Arden appeared on the cover of this one from today in 1956, she was already famous thanks to her appearance as Playboy's centerfold just the previous month. But she had posed under her real name Elsa Sørensen, and back then that may have kept most Playboy readers from realizing Sørensen and Arden were the same person. We have no idea if that was her intention, or why she'd have wanted to do it, but it's curious. Our guess is that Playboy wanted an exclusive association with her Sørensen identity, and pressed her to choose a new name for future modeling. Or perhaps she thought of magazines like Tempo as lower class, and didn't want to diminish her Playboy image. Strange, considering Tempo had been around longer, but possible. Or maybe she simply thought Elsa Sørensen was a little too Danish sounding for Hollywood. But there's no evidence she ever had an interest in movies, and if she did wouldn't she have been sacrificing much of the useful recognition she'd gained as a Playboy centerfold? All we can say is it's one of history's little mysteries. Hmm… that has a nice ring. Think we'll claim that one—History's Little Mysteries™.

Above, an unidentified model poses for an autumnal Technicolor print entitled "Woodland Nymph." Though this could actually be a drought somewhere rather than autumn, we're going with planetary tilt as the reason the normally secretive nymph has lost her cover of leaves and flowers. Recognize the model? Drop us a line if you do. As a hint, the copyright on this is 1959.
Update: Marcos comes to the rescue again, and informs us: The woman in this picture is American actress and model Marilyn Hanold. She appeared in some films and TV shows throughout the 50's and 60's.

The legislative committee investigating the George Washington Bridge scandal on Wednesday asked a judge to order two former advisers to Gov. Christie to comply with subpoenas seeking documents about the September lane closures.
The committee had asked Bridget Anne Kelly, Christie's former deputy chief of staff, and Bill Stepien, his former campaign manager, to produce documents by Tuesday.
Kelly and Stepien have invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and Fourth Amendment right against illegal searches and seizures in declining to cooperate with the probe. The committee's filings with Superior Court in Trenton dispute both those justifications.
Documents produced by another former Christie ally suggest that Kelly played a role in the lane closures, allegedly carried out to exact political revenge against Fort Lee's Democratic mayor.

You didn't get I'm kidding? Unless you're kidding. 'cause pants, Katie. Come on, please. Pants. So would you... slacks? Pants? I don't know. I think I'd wear a sexy dress or something. That? Oh, you're good. Sexy dress. Okay. Uh, that's "a." Um, what else... what else would one do if one were... I'd do my hair. Oh, get out of town! I'm not getting out of town, and I'm serious.

This project's funding goal was not reached on February 21, 2012.
Shifting Tracks Project: Revolution! is more than just a band trying to make their self titled debut album. It is a movement to speak out for the change you wish to see in this world. Shifting Tracks style is grounded in rock but lets each song define its self so it is not the same genre or feel of song repeated over and over again. This is a band for people with diverse taste in music. Our name also speaks of the never ending paths that life pushes us down, and how some times we need to take the steps our self to become the catalyst for change in this world; for us and for others.
We challenge you to tweet #ShiftingTracks and tell everyone the change you wish to see in yourself or in this world.
To those who contribute to our project, your name will forever be attached to Shifting Tracks displayed on our official website and those who donate generously will be in the liner notes of our debut album.
Our goal of $5000 goes directly to recording and mixing the rest of our first album.
Check out our first release "What Would You Do?" now available on iTunes, Spotify, our band's website, or watch it on Youtube. Thanks for checking out our kickstarter project, and we thank you very deeply for pledging to help finance our efforts.
