Fossil Fuels Teacher Resources
Find Fossil Fuels educational ideas and activities
Showing 1 - 20 of 1,350 resources
Fossil Fuels and the Carbon Cycle
Humans are quickly depleting Earth's fossil fuels and locating them is becoming increasingly difficult! Layered muffins are used for models as young geologists take core samples in order to determine the presence of oil. Consider first teaching about the carbon cycle and fossil fuels to give youngsters the background knowledge that will make this activity more meaningful.
3rd - 5th Science
Fossil Fuels (Part I), The Geology of Oil
Junior geologists work through three mini-lessons that familiarize them with the formation and location of fossil fuels. Part one involves reading about petroleum and where it comes from via a thorough set of handouts. A lab activity follows in part two, in which investigators experiment with the sedimentation of different sized particles.
8th - 12th Science
Study Jams! Fossil Fuels
Eight slides introduce viewers to the wonders and woes of fossil fuels. How are they formed? How do we use them? How do they harm the environment? And how can we conserve? All of these thoughts are briefly touched upon. In addition to the presentation, vocabulary definitions and a multiple-choice quiz are supplied on the site as supportive resources.
4th - 8th Science
Chemical Consequences of Burning Fossil Fuels
Future scientists are introduced to the chemical consequences of burning fossil fuels, learning that fossil fuel combustion leads to the formation of oxides of three nonmetals: carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, all of which end up in the atmosphere and water.
9th - 12th Science
Avoiding Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Burning Fossil Fuels
Chemistry and earth science meet in a instructional activity on carbon dioxide emissions. After reading about atmospheric problems caused by using fossil fuels, science stars balance equations for the burning of different alkanes. They compute the number of moles of gasses emitted and consider the use of photovoltaics and other clean energy sources.
9th - 12th Science
Our Dependence on Fossil Fuels
Here is a good visual for demonstrating the nonrenewable quality of fossil fuels and our dependence on them: pass around an opaque bag of candy, allowing pupils to take as much as they want. You will have prepared the bag to not have enough candy for everyone.
6th - 9th Science
Fossil Fuels Summary
As the title suggests, this is a simply summary of fossil fuels. There are no questions to answer or problems to solve, just notes about fossil fuels. The notes cover how fossil fuels are formed, how we extract it, what humans use it for, and what is produced as a waste product.
6th - 8th Science
Fossil Fuels (Part II), The Geology of Oil
More of a mini-unit than a lesson, these activities lead inquisitors through a survey of oil deposits. In the first part, they read about and view diagrams of sedimentary rock layers that trap oil. Next, they test porosity and permeability of different sediments.
8th - 12th Science
Energy Resources and Systems
Learners explore renewable and non-renewable energy sources. In this Energy Unit lesson, students complete activities to demonstrate the costs of using renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Learners graph fossil fuel use and research different energy sources to present to the class.
6th - 8th Math
A world of oil
Students practice in analyzing spatial data in maps and graphic presentations while studying the distribution of fossil fuel resources. They study, analyze, and map the distribution of fossil fuels on blank maps. Students discuss gas cost and the increase of gas cost.
9th - 12th Science
Climate Change: Earth's Giant Game of Tetris
In this colorful animation, our current problem with climate change is likened to a block-stacking game of Tetris. Greenhouse gases are increasing in the atmosphere at an increasing rate. Can we place them properly before it's too late? The video and accompanying resources promise to change the climate in your earth science or environmental studies class.
3 mins 6th - 10th Science CCSS: Adaptable
Cambridge Ideas - How Many Lightbulbs?
Humans have become addicted to fossil fuels. From pumping oil into our cars, to burning natural gas to heat our water, or using coal to create electricity that lights our homes, we are constantly relying on these nonrenewable resources. Scientist Neil Payne takes a close look at energy consumption in Great Britain and discusses more sustainable alternatives.
6 mins 6th - 12th Science CCSS: Adaptable
An Environmental Puzzle: The Carbon Cycle
Middle school science stars examine fuels and energy with a variety of activities. They begin with a KWL chart, read an informative passage, and then complete a puzzle. The puzzle itself is included. Cleverly, each piece corresponds to a statement which learners must determine if it is true or false.
6th - 8th Science
The Causes of Global Warming: A Summary
Incorporate practical writing activities into your earth science curriculum with this colorful resource. Future environmentalists read about global warming in a TIME for Kids production. They answer a few brief questions and then write a summary of another environmental issue that they feel is significant.
5th - 8th Science
Using the Carbon Cycle Interactive Game in the Classroom
An online reading and interactive game bring the path of a carbon molecule to life for your earth science explorers! As an assessment, learners can map out or write about their experience in the carbon cycle. Thoroughly written background information and links to related lessons and other resources are provided to help you easily develop a mini unit on the atmosphere and climate change.
4th - 9th Science
Energy Conservation Lesson 1: Fossil Fuels and the Ticking Clock
Students explore energy production by participating in a class discussion. For this renewable energy lesson, students discuss the differences between solar, coal, wind and fossil fuel energy sources and why some are better for the environment than others.

Greg Wyshynski
NHL Three Stars: Tarasenko wins in OT; Miller shuts out anotherGreg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy 4 hrs ago
No. 1 Star: Vladimir Tarasenko, St. Louis Blues
The game-breaking winger broke the game in overtime, as the Blues completed a rally against the Edmonton Oilers, 4-3. Tarasenko scored on a great individual effort, turning around Justin Schultz.
No. 2 Star: Tyler Ennis, Buffalo Sabres
It's possible Ennis is actually a leprechaun. How else to explain the incredible luck he had in scoring a goal of the year candidate and then setting up Matt Moulson's game-winner with a shot off the glass that ended up being a layup? The Sabres won, 2-1.
No. 3 Star: Ryan Miller, Vancouver Canucks
Miller pitched his second straight shutout, making 31 saves in a 5-0 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets that was closer than the score would indicate.
Did You Know? Jaromir Jagr's goal moved him into sole possession of sixth place on the NHL's all-time goals list, passing Mike Gartner.
Tyler Ennis scores goal of year candidate vs. Canadiens (Video)Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy 5 hrs ago
"That's one of those goals you're going to be looking at probably for the rest of the season," Therrien's counterpart in Buffalo Ted Nolan said. "That was one beautiful goal."
That it was.
Ennis took a Zemgus Girgensons' pass in the neutral zone and was off to the races. He blew around Alexei Emelin on right wing and cut to the net. With Emelin on him and Carey Price moving over for a save attempt, Ennis miraculously kicked the puck to himself while leaping in the air over Price. He then collected the puck on his backhand and fired the thing through Price as Ennis fell to the ice.
This wasn't just scoring a goal. It was defying gravity. This was some Neo-in-The-Matrix stuff right here.
"You look at his skill set and the way he competes, the things he can do with the puck, I mean a couple times he almost flipped the puck to himself … he's highly skilled and it's great seeing him play the way he's capable of playing," said Nolan.
Apparently never having gotten the "Dishonor For Connor" memo, Ennis leads the Sabres in goals (7) and points (15).
Derek Dorsett accidentally rejoins Blue Jackets bench (Video)Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy 7 hrs ago
Derek Dorsett spent five seasons in Columbus. We're sure he misses some of the boys.
How nice of him, then, to pay a visit to the Blue Jackets bench on Friday night. Only we're pretty sure it wasn't intentional.
In the first period of the Vancouver Canucks' game at the Jackets, Dorsett had Brian Gibbons lined up for a big hit, only to whiff on it, going skates-over-scrotum into the Columbus bench.
Then the fun starts, as Scott Hartnell attempted to delay Dorsett's return to the ice by grabbing him. Dorsett, not realizing it was Hartnell that had him hooked, then gave David Savard a shot before getting back on the ice.
Dorsett had the last laugh as Vancouver won, 5-0.
Ranking every black NHL jersey ever on Black FridayGreg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy 16 hrs ago
Black jerseys have been considered a scourge on the NHL.
Some teams have no business wearing them. They're used for a cash grab, or because someone in marketing saw the sales figures for the Oakland Raiders for the last 20 years and said "GIMMIE."
Since it's Black Friday – a day dedicated to commercial excess and clichéd marketing – we figured it was a perfect time to look back at the history of black sweaters in the NHL, pit them against each other and come up with a definitive ranking … as definitive as one man's opinion can be, when that man is nursing a turkey hangover.
Here are the Black Jerseys in NHL History: RANKED!
Please note that all the jerseys are linked to the NHL Uniform Database, so click the names to see the sweaters. Also note that these are for jerseys that are primarily black. So that Tampa jersey with the Lightning on it? That's a blue jersey.
And here … we … go. (And let us know if we spaced on any. )
The Gretzky Jersey. 'Nuff said.
NHL Three Stars: Pekka Rinne stops penalty shot in OTGreg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy 1 day ago
No. 1 Star: Pekka Rinne, Nashville Predators
Rinne made 37 saves for the Thanksgiving shutout, appropriately over those Western Conference turkeys the Edmonton Oilers. That included a penalty shot in overtime by Jordan Eberle, after Shea Weber covered the puck in the crease. The Preds won, 1-0.
No. 2 Star: Filip Forsberg, Nashville Predators
Forsberg scored his 10th of the season at 3:55 of overtime, spinning around Taylor Hall before beating Viktor Fasth for the 1-0 win.
No. 3 Star: Viktor Fasth, Edmonton Oilers
Hey, 24 saves, a regulation shutout and a point on the road isn't bad.
Honorable Mention: Roman Josi had the primary assist on Forsberg's goal and rang one off the iron in overtime. … Although he failed to convert in OT, Eberle had five shots in the game to lead all Oilers forwards.
Did You Know? Mike Fisher played for the first time this season after missing 21 games with his Achilles injury.
Dishonorable Mention: Edmonton forward Matt Hendricks blocked a shot by Weber in the first period and did not return to the game. … Oilers D Justin Schultz was a healthy scratch for the first time this year. … The Predators are now 1-for-37 on home ice on the power play.
Reader Art Contest: Create an NHL Starter Pack, Gallery 2Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy 2 days ago

Marty St. Louis has earned every boo he'll get from Lightning fansGreg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy 2 days ago
Marty St. Louis will cross back over the smoldering, charbroiled bridge he left behind in Tampa Bay to visit the Lightning for the first time as a Ranger on Wednesday night.
It'll be an awkward moment for Bolts fans. Not the whole "franchise's greatest player returns in opposing jersey" thing; no, it'll just be strange to see his front again, after he turned his back on them in February.
This is not a happy homecoming. This is not a welcomed returned. The bygones are not bygones. This is the first chance for Lightning fans to let this alleged leader know the consequences for the captain jumping ship, with a court-matial of jeers.
This is the opportunity to inform St. Louis that 972 games and 953 points and 13 seasons of blood and sweat and dedication can be packed up in a mothballed box until the pain subsides from his selfish decision to abandon the franchise.
"I'd like for people to remember the great years," he said on Tuesday.
They will. Eventually. Just not now. (Unless the video tribute they run during the game makes them all weepy and nostalgic for a moment.)
"We had 14 years together. I hope they can respect my decision. I think I've earned that."
David Perron on trade block; headed to Columbus?
The Edmonton Oilers are winless in seven games after losing to the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night. Changes will be made, and reports say that forward David Perron's change of address will be one of the first.
Aaron Ward of TSN reported that Perron could be shipped out to the Columbus Blue Jackets, with center Artem Anisimov potentially headed back to the center-starved Oilers.
This would reunite Perron with Jackets president John Davidson and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen, who knew him well during their days with the St. Louis Blues.
Anisimov is signed through 2016 with a $3.283 million cap hit. Perron is also signed through 2016 with a $4.5 million cap hit.
Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet believes the Montreal Canadiens would have interest in Perron, and that the Pittsburgh Penguins could be in the derby too, given their need for another veteran wing in the top six after the loss of Pascal Dupuis.
NHL Three Stars: Seguin nets two; Miller blanks Devils
No. 1 Star: Tyler Seguin, Dallas Stars
Another multi-goal game for Seguin, as the Stars star is up to 17 goals on the season with a 2-goal second period in their 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
No. 2 Star: Ryan Miller, Vancouver Canucks
Miller made 20 saves in shutting out the New Jersey Devils, 2-0. Alex Burrows and Shawn Matthias had the goals. This was a shutout vs. former Canuck Cory Schneider.
No. 3 Star: Danny Briere, Colorado Avalanche
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Briere flung the puck towards Zach Redmond, but it deflected off the stick of Martin Hanzal and past Mike Smith at 3:16 into overtime to complete an Avs' rally, 4-3 over the Arizona Coyotes. Gabe Landeskog had two goals in the win.
Did You Know? The Coyotes are 0-for-20 on power plays in their last five home games, including 0-for-1 on Tuesday.
Erik Johnson flattened by Martin Hanzal elbow in Avalanche win (Video)
In overtime between the Colorado Avalanche and the Arizona Coyotes, defenseman Erik Johnson was given a little drop pass from Danny Briere. He shoveled a quick shot on Mike Smith, who made the save.
And then he was freight-trained by Martin Hanzal.
The collision knocked Johnson to the ice where he was face-down before being helped off to the back.There was no penalty on the play.
The Avs would win the game on a Briere overtime goal. Coach Patrick Roy said Johnson was feeling good after the game, which is good news for all parties.
As far as the hit goes, it's a tough one to assign blame.
Johnson was crouched down when he took the shot; Hanzal stands at 6-foot-6, so he was lined up for a hit to the head. He definitely delivers a check, not really attempting to avoid Johnson; but Johnson's eligible to be hit there, according to previous NHL rulings.
So despite Hanzel having two supplemental discipline punishments last season -- a fine and a suspension -- he could be OK on this one.

Hilary Duff seems to be making some major changes to her appearance following her split from Mike Comrie, her NHL player husband of several years.
The former Disney star and new mom tweeted the above photos over the weekend, but offered little in the way of why she looks like two different people.
"Suuuuuuper blonde. No extensions...murdered my color today," Duff tweeted along with the second photo.
There's no doubt that she looks good, but its surprising that an actress who's been so often hailed for maturing gracefully would try to look so...different.
Naturally, it's Hilary's face/hair/body and she's free to make all the changes she wants, but some fans are upset as they feel the stripped down, overalled Hilary on the left is the one they've come to know and love.

Kakatiya University was established on 19th August, 1976 to fulfil the aspirations of the Telangana people for higher education. The founding of the University was in fact a historic event in the sense that heralded a new era in the realms of higher education of this region. The erstwhile Post-Graduate Centre of Osmania University was upgraded and named Kakatiya University. The development of the University over the years has been gradual but impressive. The University was initially accredited with B+ grade by the NAAC in 2002 and reaccredited with A grade in 2008.

CNN: Former NSA Contractor designs 'Surveillance-Proof' FontSubmitted by AnCapMercenary on Mon, 09/30/2013 - 17:47
Former NSA contractor designs 'surveillance-proof' font
By Arion McNicoll, for CNN
September 30, 2013
Updated 1445 GMT (2245 HKT)
Former NSA contractor Sang Mun's ZXX font is designed to disrupt Optical Character Recognition (OCR) -- the software used by Google and others to scan books or physical documents.
+ Designer Sang Mun creates 'unhackable' fonts
+ The four fonts are designed to disrupt Optical Character Recognition software
+ Experts suggest that to be effective such fonts would need to be used with encryption
Can this font help protect your privacy?
(CNN) -- Can graphic design help protect your privacy? Sang Mun, a designer and former NSA contractor, thinks so.
Just months after Edward Snowden controversially lifted the lid on digital surveillance being conducted by the U.S. and other governments, the issue of online privacy is back in the spotlight.
Earlier this month Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed concern that users' trust in internet companies had been damaged by the revelations. Google's Eric Schmidt also called for greater transparency from the U.S. government over surveillance.

NYT Reporting NSA Spying On Anyone SUSPECTED Of A Crime!
Published on Sep 30, 2013
September 30, 2013 CBC News
SHOCKING! (Okay...Not Really, by Now) NYT: NSA spying on Anyone Suspected of a 'Crime!'
TechDirt.com: "NSA Has Built Its Own, Secret, Warrantless, Shadow Social Network, And You've Already Joined It"!
NSA Has Built Its Own, Secret, Warrantless, Shadow Social Network, And You've Already Joined It
by Mike Masnick | (Mis)Uses of Technology
Mon, Sep 30th 2013 5:43am
Somewhat amazingly, the new report notes that in 2006, the NSA asked the Justice Department for permission to do exactly this sort of thing, and was rejected, saying that a "misuse" of that kind of data "could raise serious concerns." Indeed, it could, and does raise serious concerns, but apparently the current administration just doesn't give a crap.
[As in, even GWB's regime actually gave slightly more crap about their Constitutional Oath, than oBUSHma; indeed, as Sy Hersh asserted: Obama is worse than Bush.]
Soon after the very earliest reporting on Ed Snowden's leaked documents about PRISM, the folks from Datacoup put together the very amusing GETPRSM website, which looks very much like the announcement of a new social network, but (the joke is) it's really the NSA scooping up all our data and making the connections. It's pretty funny. Except, of course, when you find out that it's real. And, yes, that seems to be the latest revelation out of Ed Snowden's leaks. The NY Times has an article by James Risen and Laura Poitras (what a combo reporting team there!) detailing how the NSA has basically built its own "shadow" social network in which it tries to create a "social graph" of pretty much everyone that everyone knows, foreign or American, and it all happens (of course) without a warrant. And, note, this is relatively new:
The agency was authorized to conduct "large-scale graph analysis on very large sets of communications metadata without having to check foreignness" of every e-mail address, phone number or other identifier, the document said. Because of concerns about infringing on the privacy of American citizens, the computer analysis of such data had previously been permitted only for foreigners.
The agency can augment the communications data with material from public, commercial and other sources, including bank codes, insurance information, Facebook profiles, passenger manifests, voter registration rolls and GPS location information, as well as property records and unspecified tax data, according to the documents. They do not indicate any restrictions on the use of such "enrichment" data, and several former senior Obama administration officials said the agency drew on it for both Americans and foreigners.
There were apparently two policy changes that allowed this to happen, and both occurred in the past three years. First, in November of 2010, the NSA was allowed to start looking at phone call and email logs of Americans to try to help figure out associations for "foreign intelligence purposes." Note that phrase. We'll come back to it. For years, the NSA had been barred from viewing any content on US persons, and the NSA, President Obama and others have continued to insist to this day that there are minimization procedures that prevent spying on Americans. Except, this latest revelation shows that, yet again, this isn't actually true.
The second policy change came in January of 2011, when the NSA was told it could start creating this massive "social graph" on Americans without having to make sure they weren't Americans any more, as indicated above.

Its a fraud. Probably some kind of counter intelligence
All that needs to be done is for current OCR to add on a few templates that recognize letters from the font.
If the guy invented a 'virtual font' that could add shot noise to each character that on average prevented OCR I would use it. As it is he just gave somebody at the NSA a couple hours of homework.
From the article, the reporter debunks her own story:
Ross Anderson, Professor in Security Engineering at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, shares Green's criticisms: "I don't think any of this is more than privacy theater. The fonts could probably be broken."
Mun concedes that the fonts' actual effectiveness may be limited,
This is incorrect
Fonts do not work in this fashion
FOnts only matter to humans
NSA can get access to databases, they do not care what font choice you have selected to view your data in
I retract- it is useful
This is (potentially) a way to post images on facebook instead of text messages. Better privacy. IT fails because its not really camo or noiseif its fixed and the same for every character. Its just another font.

It is an interesting experiment.
The 'noise' is the same for every character so an OCR would probably just learn it the same as any other decorative font. Only real noise (shot noise, random pixels) would confuse a machine classifier. For us, however, this fake noise is the same as real noise (each character in the font is simply decorated with extra pixels).
I would guess when combined with your example, it indicates we use different strategies to recognize letters and words. With letters we use distance from a prototype? and words we use a look up table that matches first and last letters?

I have been working on a surveillance proof font myself. It is a combination of an algorithm that involves a one finger salute and the repetitive phrase "NSA you're #1"
I KNEW there would be an alternate meaning to the finger gesture!!!

Someone get Michael to make this a font option on dailypaul!!!1!
Th#t w0uld be s() aw3som3!!!!1!!!!
Actually ... it doesn't do you any good at all if you're using it in a word processing document, or a web page, etc. It's designed to defeat OCR, which means it makes it difficult for computers to read *printed* pages. It would also work if you wrote something in a window on your computer, took a screen shot of that, and posted just the image. If it's not an image or hard copy it makes no difference. When the NSA is snooping on electronic content the font you're using doesn't matter in the slightest.
If people did start going to the trouble of posting images of text in this font thinking it would defeat OCR, and it became popular enough to matter, it would be trivial to modify the OCR to recognize the fonts. So it's not really even effect when used the only way that would make sense.
Now that I look more closely at the article, in the image captions for the original article it points out that the fonts wouldn't really pose any significant difficulty for the NSA, and then notes: Mun says that he understands the criticisms, but says that his fonts are meant to spark dialogue and make people think about their own online security: 'ZXX is a call to action, both practically and symbolically, to raise questions about privacy.' So there you go.
Interesting AnCap
But I have a question.
It is my understanding that the font is just a computer code to describe how an ASCII code will 'appear' on a screen or piece of paper?
If so, wouldn't it be the ASCII code that is scanned by the nsa for key words and content?
EDIT: Spelling and grammar. I never was very good at multitasking and I'm getting worse as I get older.
moi, not sure...
moi just know how to QWERTY, not what makes it go QWERTY .D
I thought ASCII is just another set of DOS & Pre-DOS fonts. Not sure how NSA encryption/decryption algorithms would or would not work on/against vs. individual fonts.
I know recently it was revealed that NSA can 'tap into' almost any web backbone and can intercept/decrypt data from one known service provider to another. But, even so, it is my understanding that individualized peer-to-peer-encryption-key-based-security between, given Person A to Person B, is, in practical terms, damn near impossible to decrypt/intercept/crack, unless the interceptor has the same exact key as the party/parties who was/are intended to receive the said text/data/file between those two persons A & B.
The NSA technically can run a farm of Cray supercomputers and/or its equivalent or even more powerful bespoke machines, to decrypt that single data file.
But for one thing, they'd have to know that, the one single file that they've decided to decrypt is EXACTLY the one file that they actually want, among multi-trillions if not more files, that they regularly collect. Hey, say even if NSA was a legit agency and they wanted to decrypt a banking transaction related email sent from Target A to Target B. Well, if the two parties exchanged 20 emails that day with only one being the relevant one, the NSA could potentially be spending days trying to decrypt a sexting image. LOL.
To know that they're targeting the right file, belonging to a single individual target, they'd have to have done some recon, probably more in-person recon, before determining and assigning resources to target that one file by that one party.
And, assuming that the file the NSA's after is urgent, it'd still be fruitless, as it will still take a long time for even the most powerful farm full of supercomputers to decrypt, which kinda defeats the purpose, as well as their claims to 'urgency.' Well, that is as far as I know, from what I can gather from what I've been able to find publicly.
But, WTF isn't 'urgent' to govt terrorists; anytime you hear them say it, 99% of the time, history has shown that they're merely crying wolf and playing PsyOp.
Regardless, I'm sure I'm nowhere as informed on this issue, say vs. a professional IT & encryption specialist, as these things really are specialist-specific arenas.
As for the fonts: I've done design work in the past, but not that up on the intricacies of the nature of electronic fonts itself
I'm pretty sure I came across a few computer coders here at DP who are infinitely more qualified than I am on these matters. They maybe able to help you answer your inquiries.)

"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
Thanks for the reply AnCap
This is my understanding. I worked @ Hewlett Packard back in the day and though my formal training is physics and mechanical properties related, I did pick up a few things about computers during my 10 yr stay there. And though I haven't been in the field, it still worked the same way when I left on 1996.
There is a universal ASCII character code set that defines each "character" on the keyboard. Every keyboard, for every computer, regardless of the verbal language it represents.
By that, I mean that every character is represented by a unique series of 1's and 0's in the same size 'byte' of information.
The font code is something that is included along side the of the "A" that says how it should be displayed when printed or seen on a screen.
In other words, "A", "A" (in bold), "A" (in italic), and "A" (underlined), all carry the same ASCII code to represent a Capital character we call 'a'.
I don't want to belabor the point at all, and only post this for the purpose of education and discussion.
But if I'm right, changing a font won't defeat anything except the nsa or anyone else trying to turn WRITTEN material into computer searchable data.
wow thanks! definitely a lesson for me.
I didn't know anything about that.
learn something new everyday from DP r3VOL!
yeah, with fonts, I figured as much: 'encryption' probably most likely wouldn't be at an individual letter level...
but I tried to examine what they really meant with their recent news about how NSA could 'crack' encryptions say between someone writing from a Yahoo email to another with a Gmail account. well, those providers are already NSA compromised and acquiescent as is. And even if the email servers were from other companies, the current internet runs on backbone built by the govt, so it's not hard to figure that as long as they can access 'transfer' points, it wouldn't be hard.
that said, none of what they said was about peer-to-peer one on one encryption keys between individuals at individual levels. if I recall, I believe Snowden also said in one of his few public videos with Greenwald that private peer-to-peer encryption key based transmissions was one of the few ways that NSA couldn't break.
would it be overly optimistic to
assume hope-iate that the CONgress will eventually repeal Nat. Sec. Act of 1947 altogether?
hey, but who knows? you never know; things are getting so crazy, anything is possible at this point, both good and bad...so it seems.)

Former NSA contractor designs 'surveillance-proof' font
By Arion McNicoll, for CNN
September 30, 2013
As Reported by CNN is definite misinformation. That is information itself ;)
They are one of two things, DECEIVERS or the DECEIVED promoting a false message.
I would guess actually a mixture of the two. The story was initiated by someone that wanted people to spend time looking into fonts and not pay attention to what else was being done, and the drones working for the MSM mindlessly carried the water.
The value of DP (and many other forums) is there is so much knowledge and experience represented here.
That is why the trolls have become present particularly in the last 1-2 years, and they all speak up for Granger.
They are all very real and an example of our current society.
As for the peer to peer encryption, I absolutely agree as it encrypts the ASCII code.
I appreciate all of your posts AnCap.
Thank you Sir.

I have been reading reviews here forever! This is the first time I am writing about some product. For all those ladies who already know how wonderful turmeric is for skin I have some suggestions to make the process of applying this tedious mask.
1) Wear some gloves to save your fingers and nails from staining. Its that simple!
2) use a sponge to apply, the kind that you use for foundations.
3) It is always better to have some oil like jojoba, coconut, olive oil as an ingredient in turmeric mask as this helps stain less and when you use a cleanser the stains come out with the oil. Be careful if you have very sensitive skin or are allergic to oils. Trust me when you take off the mask with water just pat dry using a paper tissue. I bet there will be no stains on your face and hands. THIS IS THE BIGGEST TRICK FOR USING A TURMERIC MASK. Do this and tell me how it worked for you guys!
4) I always wash my face in the kitchen sink, as its easy to just spray some bleach on it once in a week.
I hope this will make applying a turmeric mask easy for you.
And trust me it works!!!
My exact recipe: 3 heaped spoons of gram flour, 1 spoon of turmeric, 2 spoons of coconut oil, 2 spoons yogurt. Mix well and refrigerate for future uses.

Tumeric is amazing for sensitive irritated skin. mix tumeric with aloe vera gel and leave it on for as long as you wish. 20 minutes at least. gently massage it off and your skin will be glowing, smooth, and calm. its amazing. ive been using it for 2 years now

With honey, this is the best spot corrector for inflamed acne. Mix little honey and turmeric till it forms into a paste. Use as a spot corrector (I use cotton buds) after washing your face with mild soap and leave it for 1 hour. My acne dried after using this for 2 days (in the evening only). A little goes a long way, you may refrigerate unused portion.
For just 1 week, I have seen drastic improvements on my face; no new acne forming, existing acne all dried up and the black marks left by my old acne which were burned by spot correctors are also showing some improvements.
To avoid drying up my face, instead of using soap to remove the yellow stains, I massage my face with ground oatmeal paste (ground oatmeal mixed with a little warm water).
Edit: 3/31/2012
I have found another good use for this. I infuse olive oil and castor oil with turmeric by mixing 2 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tbsp castor oil and 1 tsp of turmeric powder. This serves as my cleansing oil before using my facial wash.
Use small amount to massage unto face, tissue out and wash with lukewarm water and facial wash.
I no longer use toner and moisturizer cause I've been breaking out with any such commercial products.
I'm tempted to prick because several small pimples which used to be underneath my skin surface and blackheads are slowly coming out. Till now, no new big inflamed acne is forming.
My daily routine:
Massage with turmeric infused cleansing oil, wash with gentle facial wash and lukewarm water to remove oil and lightly massage with ground oatmeal paste to soothe and moisturize. Alternately (after every two days) with:
Regular face wash, turmeric honey mask (sometimes with ground oatmeal paste) and oatmeal paste to remove yellow stains.
Wash with regular facial wash and massage with oatmeal paste to soothe and moisture.
Two weeks on this routine has really improve my face's condition.My super oily face requires blotting 4 to 5 times in a 10-hour period while working (in a fully air conditioned room). But now, I just blot once during lunchtime.
Edit April 18, 2012.
I've stopped the turmeric-oil mixture. While it deeply cleans and minimize my pores, it caused some breakouts. I continue the turmeric, oatmeal, honey routine and for more than a month, not perfect skin but a lot BETTER.... from very oily to less oily skin, clogged to clean pores, less break out and new breakout are cured in less than a week with very minimal scarring. I still have to deal with old acne scars which shows minimal improvements but definitely healthier and smoother skin.

Holy cow, this product STAINS like no other.
Not only does it make my skin look yellow after I take it off, it stains everything else. My rug, the sink, the floor etc.
I wasn't being messy either. The tumeric turns back into powder form after it's been on your face for a while, and it falls off the carpet and stains it.
I only used this mask once, and didn't bother to use it again, so I don't know about the skin miracle that everyone is raving about.
I don't understand the hype over this. I've only tried it twice, but that was enough for me. Both times, my light scars actually seemed to darken and my skin broke out everywhere and just looked red and irritated. It seems to have the exact opposite effect that everyone else is describing. Perhaps I'm allergic to it. Whatever the case, turmeric is definitely not for me!

I use turmeric powder, mix in egg white, honey and milk to make it pasty and apply it to my face as a mask. I leave it on for at least 20 minutes or until it's like completely dried on my face. I absolutely love it!!!!! It is really good for if you have uneven skin tone because you will deff notice a huge difference and it will be more even and it def gives a nice glow. I looooove it!

Take two Turmeric caps and call me in the morning (to tell me how great your skin looks).
You don't have to use this on your face. Two caps a day will work just as well.
Indian people have trusted this forever to deal with skin issues. Freida Pinto, anyone?

Um, wow. That's what I have to say about this stuff. Two nights ago after reading reviews, I mixed together 1/2 tsp of turmeric with 1 tbsp of yogurt (mine was nonfat, not sure if this matters). I left it on for half an hour, washed it off well. No yellow stain on my face. Thought I might have noticed a minor difference, but I couldn't really tell for sure. Yesterday I was bored, had the leftover mixture in the fridge, and did it again for a half hour. When I washed it off my skin was left with more of a yellow cast than the last time, so it was hard to assess if there was a difference. Later, I had a shower, normal routine, and when I got out, all the yellow stain was gone, and instantly I noticed a *huge* difference. My skin is not the best: the tone is off, acne hyperpigmentation, active acne, etc. It just doesn't look healthy. I'm pretty self conscious about it without at least a tinted moisturizer. I am quite pale, and I wouldn't say this mask was whitening in the sense that it made me paler, but it somehow pulled all the yucky purple and red tones out, and left me with the pretty kind of pale skin I yearn for: even, porcelain, healthy, lit from within. I am thrilled. I've never before used a single skincare product that made this dramatic an improvement in my appearance. After two uses, no less. I can't attest to a difference in acne, because I'm not breaking out right now, and I'll have to try it longer to see if it's preventative. I do feel like my skin is producing less oil than usual since I tried this, though. I'm going to use this at least once a week, and I'll update with my results. p.s. I stained a towel when I was drying my face, be warned. Use one you don't care about.

LOVE turmeric/honey facial masks! When I use this mask (once per week) my skin glows and the tone is very even! I mix about a teaspoon with enough honey to spread evenly over my entire face, leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes, and simply wash off with warm water.
As other reviewers have warned turmeric will indeed impart a permanent yellow stain to all fabrics, so please use with caution.
I just buy the basic spice in the spice aisle of the grocery store and it works fantastically! It's very cheap, keeps forever, and you use very little in your masks. No nasty chemicals, fragrances, or irritants.
This is my go-to facial mask that works better than anything manufactured and marketed.
13 out of 13 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this in a mask with besan flour and rose water and/or milk/yoghurt. I've found it to be very good at lightening scars and preventing future break outs.
I also take a quarter to a half teaspoon of turmeric, once a day, (in a mixture with other powders) with hot water to just heal my acne from the inside. It's has great healing properties. In the beginnig it was fairly horrible taking the powder, but slowly slowly i've got used to it and now know how to hold some warm water in the back of my mouth first, and just sort of tip the turmeric in quickly and swallow more water quickly to wash it down.
I know it sounds weird, but this has really helped my skin to heal quicker and scar less. Thought I'd just share it on here in case it can help anyone esle.

Meditation improves emotional behaviors in teachers, study finds
Schoolteachers who underwent a short but intensive program of meditation were less depressed, anxious or stressed – and more compassionate and aware of others' feelings, according to a UCSF-led study that blended ancient meditation practices with the most current scientific methods for regulating emotions.
A core feature of many religions, meditation is practiced by tens of millions around the world as part of their spiritual beliefs as well as to alleviate psychological problems, improve self-awareness and to clear the mind. Previous research has linked meditation to positive changes in blood pressure, metabolism and pain, but less is known about the specific emotional changes that result from the practice.

Vishvapani reviews Schettini's heartfelt and vivid account of becoming a Tibetan Buddhist monk and his valuable reflections on what it means for westerners to practice Buddhism
When I first encountered Buddhism in the UK around 1980 there was already a generation of established practitioners, most of whom shared a common background. They were hippies … or should that be ex-hippies? Their faces lit up as they recounted their adventures: how they set out from respectable homes to discover the excitements of London's Kings Road, join the flower children in the Haight, or make exotic journeys to the East. There were stories of dope deals that went wrong, revelatory acid trips, close shaves with bandits in …

"Embracing Mind: the Common Ground of Science and Spirituality," by Wallace, B. Alan & Brian Hodel
Are science and spirituality "non-overlapping magisteria" (as the late Stephen J. Gould put it), or can some overlap indeed be found? B. Alan Wallace, lecturer, scholar, and noted Buddhist practitioner, believes that it's time for scientists and meditators to team up (and indeed for scientists to become meditators) in order to study the mind from within.
Alan Wallace became a Buddhist monk in the early 1970s, ordained by the Dalai Lama in India. After 14 years of training and retreats, he returned to the US to study physics and the history and philosophy of science. Since then he's been trying to find meeting points for his two enthusiasms — Buddhism and science …

Dixie Bee-Liners, Sierra Hull and Uncle Earl Spread The Gospel of Old-Time and Bluegrass
The American Revival Tour is currently winding its way down the Eastern seaboard, spreading the gospel of oldtime and bluegrass. Monday night the tour stopped in Alexandria's at the Birchmere. Though the venue wasn't sold out, there was a respectable turnout for a weeknight, especially considering that Lyle Lovett and Bruce Springsteen were in town. Because there were three acts, each was limited to a 40-minute set, but for listeners, that added up to two hours of excellent music at a reasonable price. Verdict: a good deal
First up were The Dixie Bee-Liners, a six-person group that blends bluegrass, country, and folk, and has charm to spare. Most of their material was from new release Susanville; the album's tagline is "every car on the highway has a story," and the Bee-Liners deliver these vignettes about roadside cafes, wanderlust, and a demographic of women known as "diesel sniffers" with sweet harmonies, fierce picking, and catchy turns of phrase.
Following the Bee-Liners was Sierra Hull, bluegrass' current Anointed One. The mandolin virtuoso was barely old enough to vote in yesterday's elections, but when it comes to performing, she's a seasoned pro. She and her band Highway 111 (with Ron Block taking the place of the band's regular banjo player, Cory Walker) ripped through an all too short set that captivated the audience. Hull's vocals are Krauss-like, her angelic soprano balancing masterful mandolin picking and making it all look incredibly easy. Guitarist Clay Hess took lead vocals for a couple songs in addition to, as he put it "doing [his] best impression of a 16-year old girl" on the harmonies for stunning ballad "The Hard Way." Personally I'm looking forward to the day Hull and her band return to the Birchmere as headliners: 40 minutes just wasn't enough.
Closing the show was Uncle Earl, who opened their set with an oldtimey version of Blind Willie Johnson's "God Moves on the Water." The g'Earls, as they call themselves, are women of many talents; banjoist Paula Bradley and Kristin Andreassen kicked up their heels and clogged along to a few fiddle tunes, while fiddler Stephanie Coleman cracked up the crowd by introducing the rather depressing "The Drunkard's Lone Child" as "not an autobiographical song, but my dad got so drunk at my sister's wedding…"
Their set wasn't all drunkenness and sinking ships: there was a whole lot of goofy banter among the bandmembers between songs, and the madly catchy "Crayola," written by Andreassen, saw Uncle Earl eschewing their instruments in favor of some elaborate playground clapping (think "Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack,"). The gals currently have Bryn Davies keeping the rhythm for them on the American Revival Tour; Davies, known as "The Bass Lady," has played with artists like Tony Rice and Guy Clark, but her seamless incorporation into the band made it seem like she'd been with UE since their inception a decade ago. The band was also briefly joined by Punch Brother and honorary g'Earl Chris Eldridge, one of the few American Revivalists to possess a Y chromosome.
All three acts mentioned the Birchmere's long history as a roots-friendly venue, with Hull, a first-timer, naming it "totally a legendary place to play" and confessing to owning several bootleg recordings of Birchmere bluegrass shows, while the Dixie Bee-Liners dedicated a song to the late John Duffey, a DC native and member of the Country Gentlemen and Birchmere mainstays The Seldom Scene. Perhaps it might be too early to make such statements, but I'm going to say that in 20 years, many of these musicians will be talked about as reverently as Bee-Liner Buddy Woodward spoke of Duffey.
After Uncle Earl's set, all 15 musicians on the American Revival Tour—joined by a towheaded toddler playing what appeared to be air washboard—crowded around a pair of microphones for one final song, "Sittin' on Top of the World." Driving home with the Bee-Liners' new record keeping me company, I felt the same way.

Casey Henry, new banjo player for the Dixie Bee-Liners (and one-time g'Earl), is blogging the tour here:
BTW, Bryn's been doing occasional dates and tours with Uncle Earl for some years now, ever since Sharon Gilchrist (who, not coincidentally, was her bandmate in the Tony Rice & Peter Rowan quartet) left the bass chair.
Hull is blogging as well–check out the gang's sweet Halloween costumes, folks: http://sierrahull.blogspot.com/
Jon, thanks for the info re: Bryn.
What a neat line-up! We NEVER get shows like that booked here in Southern California. As far as young bluegrass related wunderkinds go, I find Sierra Hull's music far more to my taste and liking than Sarah Jarosz, whose music is far less conventional.
I've had the pleasure of seeing Uncle Earl perform live in 2007 but their set out at Joshua Tree was in the midst of a nasty sandstorm that kind of put a damper on things. Garrison Keillor likes to book Kristin Andreassen for A Pairie Home Companion and he's featured her performance of "Crayola" in some of his "best Of" compilation shows. Good stuff!
I had this confused with the with Chuck Ragan featured "The Revival Tour." Sounds like a great time.

Q. When I download files from the Internet, I can never find them after the download box closes in Internet Explorer. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but if you could straighten me out on this, I would appreciate it, Mr. M.
A. When you click a link to download an item, you are presented with a little download window, called a dialog box. In this first window, you are given a choice whether to "Open" or "Save" the item you are about to download.
If you choose "Open," the file that you download will be opened and/or run (in the case of programs). There are a variety of security-related reasons not to do this. Instead, I suggest always selecting "Save."
Once Save is selected, you will be presented with a new window in which you can direct where you want to save the file. My recommendation is to click the drop-down arrow next to Save in: and select Desktop.
Next, click the Save button and the file you download will be saved on your Windows Desktop. By saving downloaded files to the Windows Desktop, you will never have to go looking for them because they will always be right in front of you, on the Desktop.
Hint: If you download a software program, the file you download will be named something like setup.exe or some other .exe file. Once you install the program by double-clicking the .exe file, you can then delete the file you downloaded to the Desktop.
Q. Whenever I open Microsoft Word, my computer's floppy drive starts making a noise like it's being accessed. Why is it doing that and how can I stop it?
A. It sounds like your Word program is configured to use the floppy drive as its default file location. Normally, the default location for documents is the My Documents folder, but there are occasions when some companies, for example, will change that location in a network situation so employees back up documents to a centralized network location rather than to individual computers or work stations.
To check it out, open Word and click Tools > Options > File Locations. Look at the file locations and see if any of them show "A:\" Be sure to take a close look at the "Documents" category. Usually My Documents is the designated location. If yours is configured to another location, just use the Modify button to select your preferred location or My Documents. Click OK after making your selection.
One other thing to check -- and this is a bit of a long shot -- but take a look at your anti-virus program's settings to determine if it's configured to automatically check your A: drive. This may be the result of an auto-protect feature of your anti-virus program and if so, you should be able to disable it. If you rarely use your floppy drive, you can always manually check a disk for viruses when you do have occasion to use it.
