Christmas is just three days over, and we are counting down with 10 Fun Friday Facts on Social Media and e-Commerce, just few hours before Friday.
1. Clozette's expanding to the Japanese runway
Singapore's fashion-focused social network Clozette, is partnering with Glam Media Japan to launch a Japanese version of its site. Clozette now receives around 85,000 unique visitors and 750,000 page views monthly, up from 80,000 unique visitors and 500,000 page views since September 2011.
2. Livejournal Singapore experiences massive e-commerce growth
In Singapore, Livejournal is not used just for blogging, but as a platform for online retailers as well. In particular, e-commerce in Singapore is booming on Livejournal with 1.2 million users and over 50,000 "blogshops", generating more than US$72 million worth of transactions in 2011. Altogether, transactions represented approximately 6% of Singapore's forecasted e-commerce volume of US$1.2 billion in 2011.
3. Myspace to exit Japan
Myspace plans to exit from Japan from February 2012, although services will continue to be available for existing users. It recorded just 1.09mil. users as of August 2011, compared to Facebook's 6.0mil. strong Japanese users, or mixi's 25.0mil. registered users.
4. Online shopping increases by 18% in India
Close to 60% of Indians with Internet access from home or work visited an online store in November 2011, an increase of 18% in unique visitors from the previous year. Deals and coupon sites have contributed to this increase in online shopping, with 16% having visited a coupon site. Traffic on coupon sites increased by a whopping 629% from 2010. Estimate by ComScore suggests that all of India's coupon sites attracted 7.6mil. visitors in total in November.
5. Images captured on Smartphones increased
Photo-sharing mobile apps such as Instagram, which saw its user base increase from 1.0mil. to over 15.0mil. in 2011, have gained immense popularity and contributed to the shift from conventional cameras to smartphones in image capturing. A study by NPD Group found that smartphones took 27% of photos in 2011, an increase of 10% from the previous year. Conversely, conventional cameras took 44%, down from 52%.
6. B2B marketers increasing use of social media
Business-to-business (B2B) companies are increasingly using social media as part of their marketing matrix. According to iTracks' statistics, 89% of US B2Bs were using social media marketing as of May 2011. Sagefrog Marketing Group reports that LinkedIn remains the leading platform of choice, with 58% B2B users in the US, compared to Facebook (50%) and Twitter (43%).
7. Consumers not turning to social media for local business information
In the US, the Internet is the number one source people turn to for information on local eateries and businesses, followed by newspapers and word-of-mouth. 51% of American adults use the Internet to look for news and information about local restaurants, bars and clubs. Surprisingly, only 3% turn to social networking sites, as compared to the 38% who perform search engine queries.
8. Measurement challenges stump marketers
A survey conducted by voice-based marketing automation platform Ifbyphone found that 82% of marketing executives surveyed expect every campaign to be measured. Yet, only 26% think they can effectively measure Return on Investment (ROI) for social media marketing. Of the various tools used to measure marketing campaigns, only 30% of respondents used social media monitoring tools. These challenges with data analyses similarly resound tell how marketers are still struggling with social media.
9. How new 'e-tailers' are discovered in China
42.71% of Chinese consumers discover new online retailers, or 'e-tailers', via Taobao, 27.51% through online advertising and 18.22% through friends. Surprisingly, 11.18% of Chinese consumers discover new e-tailers through Bulletin Board Systems (BBS), compared to only 3.14% via social networking. Apparently, search and word-of-mouth are still important factors.
10. Most tweets per second
The TV screening of highly popular Japanese anime "Castle in the Sky" set a new record for most tweets per second with 25,088 tweets per second earlier November 2011. It surpassed the previous record of nearly 9,000 tweets per second following the announcement of Beyonce's pregnancy. This is testament to Twitter's popularity in Japan, estimated at 10,000mil. users.

Don't Miss Our Ongoing Live Coverage
NEW YORK — The train hadn't yet left. But last night, you could almost hear it coming.
At Friday's Station to Station kickoff, fans of art, dance, and very, very loud music coalesced at Brooklyn's Riverfront Studios, where the pristine view of the Manhattan skyline was dotted by colorful yurts and, at one point, a mad plume of smoke-bombs. The evening opened with a stirring mini-parade from the Kansas City Marching Cobras, a dance-and-drum outfit who lured many attendees straight into Riverfront's hangar-like soundstage. As the room filled with bobbing pom-poms, rigorous drum beats, and one back-flipping band member, the Cobras were joined by L.A. art-punk duo No Age, culminating in slowly-building percussive pile-on. It was the kind of moment that had drawn people out to Station to Station in the first place: A bold but seamless meshing of styles.
A no-nonsense No Age set followed, and the group's roaring, distorted melodies were enough to send some of the more delicately-eared patrons outside, where a quartet of artists' yurts had been set up the day before. A line quickly formed in front of an installation by Liz Glynn, where the artist stood cocooned in walls of black felt; armed with a piece of chalk and some notecards, she gave a brief lecture on the beginning of the universe. And shoes piled up at the entrance for Urs Fischer's yurt, which quickly became known as the "disco bed": A stark-white, no-shoes-allowed bedroom draped in fog and surrounded by mirrors (PG-rated make-out sessions were occasionally spotted).
Back inside the venue, it was only getting noisier. A pair of motor-mouthed auctioneers — Eli Detweiler, Jr. and Denise Shearin — roamed the floor, calling for bids on an imaginary auction. Their overlapping patter built into something rhythmic and ominous, as though they were speaking in tongues, and they were soon joined by Chris Camp, who used a pair of Bullwhips to create a crackling percussive noise of his own.
Then: More music. A trio of experimental noise musicians — Hisham Akira Bharoocha, Ryan Sawyer, and YOSHIMO — put on a taut, cacophonic set dominated by stomping drums and shrieking vocals. Afterward, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti mellowed things out with underwater-bubblegum blasts like "Round and Round" and "Baby."
Finally, after a haunting, slow-motion performance in which a trio of dancers — David Norsworthy and Maximilian Cappelli-King on roller skates, and Lilja Rúriksdóttir in ballet slippers — spun and vined like a single organism, the stage was stripped down for legendary New York City squall-makers Suicide. With just a few keyboards, the duo managed to create a demonic racket that trumped all others. If you like giant stabs of synths and roars, well, Suicide is painless; for some, though, it was an excuse to check out early and walk into the night. At moments like that, even a city like New York can seem very, very quiet.

Advice for a twice exceptional child?
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 08-30-2011 - 7:55pm
Hi ladies, I have a friend whose son (3rd grade) is both gifted and dyslexic. From what I understand, the dyslexia is a new diagnosis/discovery. I think they are struggling right now to find the right type of school for him. The public school that our kids attend ran out of ideas and his new school seems to be geared more to those with learning disabilities, but not to those who are also gifted.
I understand it can be a hard combination to work with for teachers who are not educated in this unique combination of traits. Is there any advice, tips, words of wisdom, or support you can provide? I'm going to give her a link to the board because I know that there are several of you who have experience in this area.
Thanks so much!
|Mon, 09-26-2011 - 1:53pm
I have to say, until last month, I had never heard about vision therapy. I can't even imagine how many kids and adults would have benefited from something like this in the past.
|Sun, 09-25-2011 - 5:43pm
Like others, I am homeschooling my twice exceptional student. If she can't, she needs to be very firm with the school about putting him resources that he may need (if it isn't vision therapy) while at the same time putting him with gifted kids. They may need the kids to take notes or read to him, but that is not a bad thing for them to help each other.
|Tue, 09-20-2011 - 12:33pm
|Fri, 09-02-2011 - 10:00am
I think it really depends on the school, but we've always had better luck with the public schools because they have the resources for the non-gifted stuff. I know my ds11 could do well academically at a gifted school, but I don't know that he'd get the support with speech and language that he needs.
|Wed, 08-31-2011 - 3:10pm
For M., we put him at the appropriate level of academic challenge but also enlisted support services for his delayed/problematic areas.
|Tue, 08-30-2011 - 9:20pm
I can't really offer any advice (because we homeschool my dd17, who is probably 2E, dyslexic and with some very strong gifts, although possibly not globally enought to be considered gifted, but certainly qutie bright), but the one thing I'd try do above all others is to enable the child to resist accepting the cruel and thoughtless and unsolicited assesments of the child's ability and prospects.

In an effort to reduce the length of the video, I have edited out everything but the public comments and commissioners comments. Not all the public comments were included, but those that were, more than represent the flavor of all the comments.
By Kim Rogers,
Union County Commissioner
Ronald Reagan said "Governments don't reduce deficits by raising taxes on the people; governments reduce deficits by controlling spending and stimulating new wealth." Make no mistake about it, not performing the revaluation is a TAX INCREASE on many citizens in Union County.
One of the worst things an elected official can do is misinform the public, the other is to mislead, whether deliberately or ignorantly. It's disappointing to walk into a meeting knowing that a decision has already been made, a press release typed and ready for submittal, all prior to any discussion in open meeting of the Board of County Commissioners (reference Simpson article in the 3/9/11 EJ, wherein he says "Monday night I made a rough decision, not in haste, rather with sound facts and a decision, I believe,…"). How is it open government if you can reach such a decision before any open communication, consideration of opposing viewpoints, and discussion occurred? What is the point of the meetings then? Why, was it stated back in January when Commissioner Kuehler tried to add an item to the agenda to discuss the possibility of revaluation and hold public town hall meetings to obtain feedback from the very citizens we serve, that the revaluation was moving forward? Why in subsequent discussions was the public led to believe the revaluation would occur? Why did the majority place it on the agenda 6 days after the deadline of March 1st? A moving target, hidden within the trees, is very difficult to hit.
As to the insinuation that the passing of the revaluation in the fall of 2010 was somehow politically motivated, I'll restate what I said in Monday's meeting. As early as the beginning of 2009 (the start of my term), I had several conversations with our tax assessor about the property values, the amount of property appeals, and the need to continue with a 4-year revaluation cycle as we have done for the past decade. I have copies of actual e:mails from early 2010, discussing when the board needed to submit the resolution to the state, and was told by the manager and staff that we should do it in the fall of 2010.
So, now on to the facts about the revaluation and reappraisal process. North Carolina General Statute (105-286) requires all 100 Counties to conduct a general reappraisal. The purpose of a reappraisal is to assess all real property at its true value (market value) in money, so that equity is preserved and property owners pay only their fair share of the tax. The law says that property taxes should be based on the market value of the property in question. Revals are necessary to adjust the values to the current fair market value. Union county did it in 2000, 2004, 2008, and without question should do it in 2012.
The County Assessor's Office or the Commissioners do not "create" the value of your property. People define values by their transactions in the marketplace. The Assessor's Office simply has the legal responsibility to study those transactions and appraise your property accordingly. It is inappropriate for commissioners to make their decisions concerning property revaluation based on what will happen to the tax rate or the level of revenue collected. The law clearly states that the primary goal of reappraisal is uniformity and fairness. The purpose of a reappraisal is NOT to increase revenues or to provide tax breaks, but to fairly, equally and uniformly appraise the real property at its true value in money.
Over half of the 100 counties in North Carolina are scheduled to perform revaluations on a less than 8-year cycle. Neither Indian Trail, nor Monroe officials represent the citizens of Union County at-large, that's why the Commissioners aren't elected by district, but by at-large elections. They are supposed to represent all citizens, not just special groups of citizens or certain municipalities.
The state will end up having to step in and force a revaluation before the end of the 8-year cycle because Union County is already so close to the inequity triggers that would initiate a revaluation. We are going back to the time when our local commissioners are not making the right decisions and the state has to step in and do what is right, just like they did with the sewer moratorium during the years of uncontrolled growth.
As was so accurately stated by The Enquirer Journal and is worth repeating, "Commissioners will discuss revaluation when they meet…and resolution will be a test for our new majority. Are they leaders for the whole county? Or are they willing to sacrifice principles and fairness to all to serve the parochial interests of their political supporters? Their vote on this simple question will reveal their true values and whose interests they really serve." Well, the final vote was 3-2 to rescind the revaluation and the statements made by the 3 voting to cancel the revaluation all had to do with knowingly taxing people on a higher market value. There is no justification to make that right and there is law that shows that it was wrong. This was a case of "preference" over "principle". Based on Simpson's quote of President Theodore Roosevelt, the majority of three didn't do the best thing by doing what was right, but did the next best thing by doing what was wrong.
To force a man to pay for the violation of his own liberty is indeed an addition of insult to injury. ~Benjamin Tucker, Instead of a Book

Historical Traveller Reviews of Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott Hotel
Very nice airport hotelfrom BanaPona
perfect for a layoverfrom tripdaddyLosAngeles
Check-in was very quick and painless. I had read other reviews that complained about the lack of food on the property and this is somewhat true as there are no restaurants serving dinner located on the Suites property, but the front desk staff was very helpful in resolving this problem. Options include taking a 60-second walk to the Courtyard property and getting an order to go (which is what I did, but watch out, there is a mandatory gratuity included on all take-out orders,) catching a shuttle to the main Marriott property across from the airport terminals, ordering food to be delivered (the front desk has menus and recommendations,) or taking the Spanish Tavern shuttle (not sure exactly what or where this place is, but the fact that they pick you up and take you home is somewhat impressive.)
The hotel looks and feels quite new. My room was extremely clean and comfortable. Free high-speed internet connections are available wirelessly in the lobby and by ethernet cable in the rooms. Access was easy and, of course, the price is right.
The next morning, I waited about 20 minutes for a shuttle back to the aiport (they run about every 30 min,) but arrived in plenty of time to catch my flight. Although my time here was short, I really enjoyed my stay here. I was quite impressed with the quality and convenience of the property. I would definitely stay again.

A safe choice at Newark Liberty Internationalfrom cHIRON
It is a three minute walk to the hotel across a car park and over a road if you cannot be bothererd to wait for a shuttle bus. We found the staff very helpful even when minor things went wrong. It is a standard Marriot with a satisfactory restaurant. The three different rooms we stayed in on different visits were all as requested. The bathrooms are slighlty smaller than usual.The biggest plus for us were that the rooms were incredibly well soundproofed and we were not disturbed by aircraft noise. The beds were comfortable and everything worked in the rooms! For a stop over at the airport we found this hotel a safe choice. It is not a top end Marriot but neither is it by a long shot the worst Marriot we have stayed at.
A good choice if making plans to stay inNewarkfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Worked well for usfrom IggleDoer
The steak house in the lobby was quite good.
The hotel was only about a five mile/fifteen minute cab ride to Port Liberty.
ripoff of the century...from A TripAdvisor Member
A tiny tiny room
No one to help us with our luggage
Threadbare sheets on the bed
In short, the kind of airport hotel room you would pay $99 a night...
If you have to spend the night at Newark, do it somewhere else.
We will try to NEVER stay at any Marriott ever again.
Yuck! Worst hotel stay. Ever.from CJKatl
There were holes in the curtains, bedspread, and desk chair.
The room smelled horrible!
Bad housekeeping. Someone else's washcloth was left in the shower.
The bed was not made correctly - I had to remake it! (And I'm not picky - but the bottom sheet did not go to the top of the bed - missed by about two feet.)
The staff was rude. (I called to be picked up from the airport and they neglected to tell me to wait down the stairs. The driver said this happens all the time because the desk staff is, um, mentally inadequate.)
The concierge lounge breakfast was worse than a Fairfield Inn pre-fab breakfast.
Tiny, tiny room.
The most expensive Marriot I've ever stayed in was so not worth it!
Poor service and rooms for the pricefrom A TripAdvisor Member
The first rooms were dirty and smelly, so we requested other rooms. To our horror, they proceeded to give us a room already occupied by other guests. Fortunately, the other guests were not in their rooms when we walked in. When we went downstairs, the manager then placed us in other rooms that were actually worse than the first two and then proceeded to offer us a free pay per view movie that we never used for our trouble. Which to me was an insult after what we had just experienced!
This is the first time that I have ever been to a hotel that actually gives you a cheaper room the third time around. Pick another hotel at the airport if you want a decent room and decent service.
Newark Marriottfrom kleinms
Overpriced at $250 per night.
Top Local Tips for Newark
Never stay in Newark if you are traveling to NYC Just dont do it - big hairy mistake - nothing near the airport at all. huge travel time - scary scary scary neighbohoods that the busses go through -
Marriott Newark Airport hotel if you are planning on staying at the hotel, plan your trip to arrive on either a friday, saturday or sunday. their weekend rates are much cheaper than the weekday rates and you can book them direct from the Marriott hotel web site with no onerous cancellation fees.
Watch out for Marriott Liberty Airport Hotel There is absolutely no advantage in being at this so called Airport on-location hotel. It may as well be 5 miles away as one has to take the shuttle to the terminals anyway. The hotel has very unreasonable bait and switch parking charges. It is $20 a day but only for the time one is a guest. As soon as you sign out to catch your flight it goes up to $36 a day. Why do you suppose one goes to an Airport Hotel...it is not for local site seeing!!!

Darryl Martin, 51, speaks about his experiences with the Chicago Police in Chicago, Ill., on Wednesday, January 9, 2013. | Andrew A. Nelles~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
◆Raymond Hightower, 86, a retired cook who lives near Division and Clark. He last interacted with police 20 years ago when he was arrested for shooting dice in an alley near 47th and Prairie. "The police were doing their job then, and they're doing their job now. They're just doing the best they can with all these kids shooting guns out here."
◆Darryl Martin, 51, office clerk. He says police asked to see his ID while he was waiting for a bus in the South Shore neighborhood one morning late last year. "Maybe I fit a profile. I don't know. But I was thinking, 'Don't you have better things to do.' I missed my bus and was late to work. It was like this cop woke up on the wrong side of the bed." But police also responded promptly when his home was robbed. "It's a double-edged sword ... Cops are human and have attitudes and get mad just like us. And they have dangerous jobs to do."
◆Emily Vagts, 28, a communications coordinator. Her boyfriend set up a motion sensor camera on her front stoop in Wicker Park last year to catch the thief who was stealing packages at their building. The technology worked and sent the image to her boyfriend's email account. He then called police. "A bike cop was there almost immediately. I know it was a petty crime, but they still tried to help us out."
◆Paul Jurevis, 22, a financial analyst who lives near Midway Airport. He says two police officers in an unmarked car pulled him over on 26th Street two years ago and strip searched him. "When they didn't find whatever it was they were looking for they just got in their car and drove off, no explanation. They just said, 'You must not have what we're looking for.' I filed a complaint, but haven't heard anything. In my opinion the police in Chicago are really corrupt."
◆ Alex Taylor, 23, Northwestern Univeristy mdeical student. He mostly sees police along Michigan Avenue conducting crowd control while he's headed to and from medical school. "I hold the police in high regard."

Now a sophomore at NC State University, is double majoring in bioprocessing science and international studies. Nicolas' time at FSW instilled him with a commitment to academic excellence, as well as an abiding interest in art and culture. This summer, he will be one of a few select participants in a highly competitive program at the University of Oxford, via NC State's study abroad department. At Oxford, Nicolas will study the written and theatrical works of Shakespeare, as well as British/European Art. He'll visit the Ashmolean Museum and the National Gallery in London, and immerse himself in European art from 1300-1900, including the works of Michelangelo and Raphael. Admission to this extraordinary program required a GPA of 3.0 or higher, as well as a demonstrated record of leadership positions and high academic standing above and beyond a strong GPA. On his recent visit to FSW Nicolas said, "Friends School introduced me to some of the history and culture that I'll have the privilege of experiencing for myself. It definitely put me on a path to academic success that allowed me to get into the program."

Our delegation's first full day in Uganda is drawing to a close, and I can't stop smiling.
Why's that? Oh, over a thousand reasons, though only a dozen or so are seen here.
After spending the morning with UNICEF, learning about the organization and logistics behind Child and Family Health Days (more on that tomorrow), we visited the Railway Children's Primary School in Kampala, where children from surrounding slums attend school. With over 1300 students enrolled and 14 classrooms, it was a joy to see how enthusiastic these kids were about learning.
I saw the same sorts of kid-created posters listing class rules that are in my own kids' classrooms — including respect for yourself, others, and the environment. They may have three times as many kids in their classrooms, but they sat attentively on wooden benches, elbow to elbow, beaming at us and at their headmistress (whom they all call "Grandmother"). They would rather be at school than not; they are safe and loved there.
I also saw much evidence of the harsh realities they face, along with tools and encouragement for coping with and controlling their environment.
The girl on the right is fourteen. She's a prefect in the school (a leadership position) and chairperson of the club that makes bags, mats, and jewelry. The girls in this club use the money they earn to buy supplies to make their own sanitary napkins (blue oval seen on the table behind her). Doing so gives them self-sufficiency and prevents them from seeking unhealthy sources of income.
Discussion of sexuality and HIV/AIDS is frank and open, due to the necessity of self-preservation. It's as much of a potential threat to these young girls as communicable diseases are to the entire student population.
Sanitation was an even more common theme, both in the classroom work and the songs and skits presented in the main hall (which would have gone on until after dark had Grandmother not dispersed the children who were lined up at the door, waiting to perform). The students chanted about the Four F's: Feces, flies, food, and fingers. They sang about immunizations, and feigned sleeping under mosquito nets and dropping dead of malaria. They understand that public health is a matter of life and death in their country, and vaccines work.
And yet their performances were not an act. Those smiles were not forced, and they had no interest in pity. They wanted us to celebrate along with them, and I was thrilled to participate.
These kids have a shot at life, and they're giving it everything they've got.
I'm currently on an observation trip to Uganda with Shot@Life and the UN Foundation. Yesterday was World Polio Day, a disease that's THISCLOSE to eradication. If you'd like to immunize 50 children against polio, a $50 donation will do just that. Or five children. Or thirty-seven, or ninety-three, or six hundred fifty-four. Pick your lucky number, and at a dollar a dose, you'll help protect that many children.

Mental health centre
This information is for people who have bulimia. It tells you about topiramate, a treatment used for bulimia. It is based on the best and most up-to-date research.
Does it work?
We don't know. There's only been one small study so far, which doesn't give us enough information to know for sure if topiramate works. [92]
What is it?
Topiramate is a drug that's usually used to prevent seizures in people who have epilepsy. You take it as a tablet. The brand name is
Although it's usually used to treat epilepsy, topiramate also seems to help keep people's moods stable. For people with bulimia, this may make it easier to avoid bingeing and purging.
How can it help?
One study found that topiramate helped people with bulimia to binge less often. [92] They also felt better about life in general.
The study looked at 60 women with bulimia. [92] They took topiramate or a dummy treatment (a placebo) for 10 weeks. The study found that, on average:
Women who took topiramate binged or purged about five times a week
Women who were given a placebo binged or purged about eight times a week.
When they were asked about how they felt, women who were taking topiramate were more likely to say they were healthy, happy, and getting on well socially. [92] Topiramate may also help you worry less about your weight and how you look.
How does it work?
We don't know exactly why topiramate works. The fact that it helps with bulimia was discovered by accident. It happened when women who had epilepsy and bulimia took topiramate to help prevent seizures. They noticed that their bulimia also improved while they were taking it.
Topiramate may work because it helps to stabilise people's moods. If you're feeling calmer or less anxious, you may not feel the need to binge or purge as much.

Iran has said it will allow international inspectors access to its Parchin military complex, according to the ISNA news agency, after the head of the UN nuclear watchdog raised concerns about activities at the site.
The Iranian news agency reported on Tuesday that Iran's diplomatic mission to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna had confirmed that inspectors could visit the site.
"Parchin is a military site and accessing it is a time-consuming process, therefore visits cannot be allowed frequently ... We will allow the IAEA to visit it one more time," the statement said.
AN IAEA team were denied access to Parchin during high-level talks in Tehran in February. The statement did not set a date for a further visit, while Iranian diplomats and IAEA officials have not commented on the statement.
Yukiya Amano, the head of the IAEA, said on Monday that Iran had tripled its monthly production of higher-grade enriched uranium and expressed "serious concerns" about possible military dimensions to Tehran's atomic activities.
Iran says that it is developing nuclear technology for peaceful civilian purposes.
But an IAEA report last year said that Iran had built a large containment chamber at Parchin, southeast of Tehran, to conduct explosives tests that were "strong indicators" of efforts to develop a nuclear device.
Parchin is a weapons development site owned by Iran's Defence Industries Organisation, a group of state-owned military companies.
The IAEA was granted access to parts of the facility in November 2005, and a subsequent report documented no "unusual activities" nor the presence of nuclear material.
Mounting pressure
Sadegh Zibakalam, a professor of political science at Tehran University, told Al Jazeera there was "nothing" to suggest that the county was seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and said some Iranians may have voted in last week's parliamentary elections as a show of support for their government in the face of mounting international pressure.
"There are some observers who stated that one of the reasons why some Iranians voted last week was in order to say to the US and Israeli governments that as Iranians they are backing their own government," said Zibakalam.
Asked about the threat of a possible strike on Iran, he responded: "What is a military strike going to achieve?"
The US and its Western allies are seeking Russian and Chinese backing to rebuke Iran at the week-long IAEA board meeting, that began on Monday, over its failure to address the agency's growing concerns.
Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, reiterated his country's concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions in a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the powerful pro-Israel lobbying group, and in talks with US President Barack Obama in Washington.
"We leave all options on the table and containment is not an option. The Jewish state will not allow those who seek Israel's destruction the means to achieve that goal. A nuclear-armed Iran must be stopped."
In an earlier address to AIPAC, Obama called on Israel to allow time for diplomatic efforts and sanctions to work and cautioned against "loose talk of war".
Iran's refusal to curb sensitive atomic work that can have both civilian and military applications has drawn increasingly tough UN and Western sanctions against the major oil producer.

POLAR PROJECT: Sophia Bush and Brooke Shields feted jewelry designer Kimberly McDonald's new line, Ursus Maritimus, last week at a downtown New York studio. The space was dolled up in winter white, much like the polar bear that bears the collection's name. The event not only showed off McDonald's exquisite pendants featuring pavé diamond bears on top of geodes, but also raised awareness for Conservation International, an organization that protects the Ursus Maritimus as well as other endangered species. "I have loved the unique, organic quality of her jewelry since I first saw it, and I love the heart and purpose behind this collection," said Bush. "To help her do good with something so beautiful is an honor."

The reason to implement such a thing is that in a laboratory that has n machines, you could create a level of virtual machines, so when you connect to this remote laboratory is accessing a VM and when ' remote user needs more resources, leverages all the VMs in the cluster to have a more performative.
I think one thing is already possible to pool resources with VMware, but I want to do with free software such as VirtualBox or KVM.

On September 21, Los Angeles teacher Rigoberto Ruelas killed himself, jumping 100 feet from a bridge into the Angeles National Forest below. His suicide came about a month after the Los Angeles Times posted ratings of over 6,000 L.A. teachers on its website (8/14/10). Ruelas was poorly ranked, pegged as "less effective than average overall." But he was much beloved, and his sense of self was deeply tied up with the work he did in South L.A.'s poor and largely Latino Miramonte Elementary School. The L.A. Times rating was certainly devastating. It may have also been wrong. A legion of […]

High Arctic
Yesterday I went to visit High Arctic exhibition at National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. The installation consists of 3000 columns, each of them has got a name of Svalbard Glacier which is expected to disappear as an effect of climate change. "It's 2100 AD and the Arctic landscape has changed forever. Set in one of many possible futures High Arctic conveys the scale, beauty and fragility of our unique arctic environment through an immersive installation which fills the entire 820m2 gallery space." (more on NMM website). Visitors get UV torches and are encouraged to discover on their own – I found it very interesting but was expecting more interaction. Anyway, definitely worth visiting! Here are a few shots, more on my Flickr page.

Exhibition in Prague
Another exhibition from Graduation Projects 09/10 series is currently showing at DOX – Centre of Contemporary Art in Prague.
I've found a photo featuring my Foster project (photo by Mirek Lédl) on the show's official website:
I'd love to visit the exhibition, but seems I won't have a chance as it ends just before my holiday starts. Has anyone been there?

Personal Logo
Just a little post to share my personal logo I've been working on recently.
I always struggled to combine my initials – "P" and "Z" seem not to work very well together. I'm pleased with this option, but still trying to refine and improve it and finish other options.
What do you think about it? Looking forward to your feedback!

Seven Super Bowl Lesson Plans and Resources for the Classroom
This week, there might be a bit of Super Bowl energy and excitement running through your classroom, and there are a number of great ways to wrangle those murmurs into teachable moments.
This Sunday, February 3, the San Francisco 49ers will face the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl 47, and we here at Edutopia, like most football fans in Northern California, are excited to root for the hometown team. If you're looking for ways to incorporate the Super Bowl into your lessons, here are some links to resources around the Web. There's a little bit of every subject -- from media studies, to math, science, and the arts.
- Videos: The Science of NFL Football: These insightful and interesting video lessons feature several lessons for students, covering topics like geometry, nutrition, and Newton's Laws of Motion. At Lessonopoly, there's also a great list of accompanying lesson plans.
- Super Bowl Mania -- Creating Cross-Curricular Lessons That Score Big: Although this Scholastic article was produced for the Super Bowl in 2012, the ideas can be easily updated. Here, author Addie Albano provides ideas for math, language arts, science, and geography lessons framed around the Super Bowl.
- Learning about Music with Touchdown Songs: ARTSEDGE from The Kennedy Center produced this lesson plan for teaching about football using music. The lesson is designed for students 12-18 years old and covers fight songs, half-time sounds, and music from NFL Film.
- Super Bowl Math from Thinkfinity: Featuring several lesson plans for football-related math activities, this resource has ideas for every grade level. Students will be challenged to use their math skills to calculate odds and probability from football games, and there's also a lesson that looks at sports rankings. There's also a great list to outside links, as well, including "Swish! Pow! Whack! Teaching Onomatopoeia Through Sports Poetry," from ReadWriteThink.
- The Best Sites Where ELLs Can Learn About the Super Bowl from Larry Ferlazzo: Blogger and educator Larry Ferlazzo has been updating this list for the last few years, and there's plenty of valuable links throughout. Included in the list are links to podcasts, articles about Super Bowl history, and Super Bowl ads. There's something for every classroom.
- Top 12 Super Bowl Related Activities for the Classroom: This TeachHUB resource from last year provides 12 great ideas for incorporating the Super Bowl into classroom lessons. There's a wide range of ideas, from nutrition lessons to commercial analysis and writing projects.

BELOW : Some new arrivals:
Left and Right:
Davey, a 1940s Merrythought, and Cissy, a 1930s Merrythought with tipped copper/apricot fur, button in ear, and retailers label.
BELOW: Another new arrival, Erik, a tipped mohair German bear
BELOW: Two more Christmas arrivals - Billy-Blue Chiltern from the 1930s, and another well loved Chiltern, Marcus, who's around the same age.
BELOW: Tommy, an appealing 1920s bear, (£120) Harley, a 1940s Well Loved Merrythought bear, (£65) and an unusual Steiff 'Mimic' Tessie Schnauzer hand puppet (£48).
Tessie is now sold.
Below: Tommy. More details about him can be found on our 'British Bears' page.
About Old Teddies
We aim to bring you a selection of appealing quality antique teddy bears at competitive prices. Bears that you may discover will include the major UK manufacturers such as Farnell, Chiltern, Chad Valley, Merrythought, Deans and Pedigree. In addition, vintage teddies from the continent, USA and Australia may make their way here, hoping to find a good home.
We try to source old toys mainly dating from pre-1920 through to the 1960s, but may sometimes include more recent limited editions from the best quality factories such as Steiff or Merrythought. From the almost pristine, unplayed with bear, to the well-loved character who has clearly meant a great deal to his previous young owner , their condition varies. While the latter type holds a special appeal for some collectors, we always give a full description, and make a point of mentioning any 'injuries' or repairs Ted may have had.
Also for sale from time to time are good old toy 'animals', nice earlier examples of which are becoming scarce. They can also add variety to a bear collection.
Although bears had been represented in toy form since the late 19c, the actual name "Teddy Bear" entered the public consciousness in 1902 after American president Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear he encountered on a hunting expedition. A cartoon illustrating the incident subsequently appeared in the Washington Post and the ensuing interest led to a New York shopkeeper offering two stuffed bear toys for sale, and with the president's permission, naming them 'Teddy's Bears'. These proved very popular, and the shopkeeper, Morris Michtom subsequently expanded and became the Ideal Novelty and Toy Corporation .
Around the same time, the Steiff factory of Giengen, Germany, which up until then had produced a variety of stuffed animal toys, created their first bears, and exhibited them at the Leipzig fair in 1903. This resulted in several thousand being exported and sold in the USA, and was the start of the world wide appreciation for these high quality, realistic bears which is still ongoing today .
Thank you for visiting!

My favorite building of all time is the Pantheon, in Rome. I'm not sure why I'm drawn to it so much. Maybe it's because it's one of the oldest monuments of the Roman Empire that's still left standing. Or maybe it's that after more than 2,000 years, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest made of unreinforced concrete. All I know is that it's the first place – and last place – I like to visit on trips to the Eternal City.
