At a recent reception in the august Mansfield Room in the the U.S. Capitol celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), Ron Thorpe, the new President and CEO of NBPTS, compared the Board certification that almost every physician earns in order to practice medicine to the status and importance of Board certification for teachers in K-12 classrooms. He specifically asked if we'd be willing to send our child (or grandchild) into surgery if the physician doing the work wasn't Board certified in his or her field. Of course, none of us is willing to send a loved one into the operating theatre under the care of a surgeon who is not Board certified, so why should we be willing to send our children to schools with teachers who may or may not be skilled in their practice?
The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards was established twenty-five years ago with support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and under the leadership of then North Carolina governor, James Hunt. The Carnegie Forum on Education and the ...
Policymakers, researchers, practitioners and the general public all seem to agree: Improving teacher quality is one of the most promising strategies for improving education outcomes in our nation. But to date, most policies on teacher quality revolve around teacher evaluation – identifying weak performers and helping them improve (and getting them out of the profession if they don't). And most seem to rely on one of two tools for measuring quality: Observations by school administration (some of whom have little time for, and training in, this particular activity) or standardized test scores (which are of questionable value in assessing educator performance).
Often ignored in the teacher quality conversation are those first entering the classroom. How can we be confident that they are able to teach effectively starting their first day as a teacher of record?
Recognizing the need for a new standard for determining teacher readiness, the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE) and Stanford University have partnered to ...
It seems the one thing we can all agree on when discussing how to improve public schooling for all our children is that we need data to guide our approach to personalizing teaching and learning in the classroom, so that we can ensure student success and support teacher effectiveness. Yet we persist in ignoring data that points to root causes that hamper the most talented school leaders in their work with children.
At a recent meeting on Capitol Hill, researcher Sean Reardon from the Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education (SCOPE) shared data showing the only developed country in the world with a larger percentage of children living in poverty than the United States is Mexico. So the US is #2 in the developed world in children living in poverty (22 percent of our children live in poverty). Dr. Reardon also ...
Editor's Note: Our guest blogger today is Ann Meier Baker. She is President and CEO of Chorus America, the advocacy, research, and leadership development organization that advances the choral music field. Her 25-year career has included several leadership positions in the arts and in education.
Students composing songs about chaos theory, tessellations, and the Fibonacci Sequence is just the beginning.
March is Music In our Schools Month and this annual celebration is a wonderful opportunity for people to sing (pun intended) the praises of outstanding school music programs that are an important part of a comprehensive and competitive education. Today, while there is an enormous amount of compelling evidence about the value of these opportunities for young people, the reality is that school music programs are being cut at an alarming rate, leaving some of us wondering if it's more appropriate to sing a dirge this month, rather than a song in celebration.
For example, in national research commissioned for Chorus America's Chorus Impact Study, more than one in four educators surveyed said there is no choral program in their school and, of the educators who said that their school has no choir program today, 31 percent said their school used to have such a program. And yet these same educators also agree that choir participation helps make students better team players, develops stronger social skills, leads to better emotional expression and management, improves overall academic performance, and helps instill self-discipline. These are the very skills and strengths students will need as they come of age in the 21st century—as a society, we cannot afford to ...
Editor's Note: Our guest blogger today is Lillian Kellogg. She is Vice President of Client Services for Education Networks of America (ENA), overseeing marketing as well as strategic national association partnerships. She has dedicated her career to education and technology and has more than 25 years of experience in working with school districts and libraries in the field of educational technology. Among her many accomplishments, she currently serves as the Board Chair for the Partnership of 21st Century Skills (P21).
While we are firmly within the second decade of the 21st century, it is apparent that so much more needs to be done to help each student truly comprehend what they need to know and do to be successful in the years ahead. This call to action is every bit as important today as it was when we first started the conversation on 21st Century Skills, but it has changed. Early on the notion of 21st Century Skills was aspirational; today it is an alarm bell.

Last weekend I had pleasure of attending the Celebration of Teaching and Learning in New York City. As always, it was an inspiring event.
In reflecting on the overall themes of the weekend, one emerged very clearly: Children and schools are hurting because of the current economic climate. The economy worked its way into just about every plenary, breakout and lunchtime conversation that I was a part of.
Three other themes were nearly as ubiquitous. All three were also related to the context in which the Celebration found itself.
- Assessment and evaluation. Given the recent release of New York City public school teachers' value-added evaluation rankings to the public – an action decried by everyone from Bill Gates to Teach For America Founder Wendy Kopp to Dennis Van Roekel and Randi Weingarten, the presidents of the nation's two largest teachers unions – and the large number of NYC education professionals at the event, it is not surprising that assessment and evaluation were at ...
Last week I read two stories about large public education systems that have stuck with me for days. One story, on page one of The Washington Post, profiled the work of Chris Lloyd, the vice president of the Montgomery County Education Association (MCEA), the teachers' union representing the 12,000 classroom professionals employed by Montgomery County, MD Public Schools. It detailed the positive progress a district can make when its professionals at all levels work together to support good teaching and counsel poor performers out of the profession. The second story, a posting on the blog Teacher in a Strange Land by Nadia Zananiri, an AP World History teacher in the Miami-Dade Public Schools, describes the tragic consequences of education policies that unfairly and inaccurately "rate" teachers using "value-added" data and publicly rank schools and the professionals who work in them by publishing those ratings in the popular press. Since both districts are large urban-suburban districts with a diverse student population, I'm puzzled by why the Florida district can't learn from the Maryland district's success.
For more than a decade, Montgomery County Public Schools has used a program called Peer Assistance and Review (PAAR) to evaluate, support, and improve classroom instruction. The program was developed in partnership with the MCEA, the principals' organization, and central office administrators with the support of the school board and focuses on providing mentoring for new teachers and ongoing feedback to experienced teachers to insure that the students in the district are successful. When a teacher's practice doesn't improve after ...
Question: What is found throughout the school meal program that can be deadly dangerous?
If you answered food allergens, you would be right. Six percent of students have a food allergy and the big eight of food allergies (soy, eggs, milk, fish, wheat, shellfish, tree nuts, and peanuts) are found throughout school meal programs and family meals alike. It is very likely that a school will have one or more students whose life could be threatened by eating the wrong thing. Data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) 2006 School Health Policies and Programs Study indicate that approximately 88% of schools had one or more students with a food allergy. School employees need to know what to do to prevent life threatening reactions and families need to know that their children are being protected.
On Wednesday, February 22 NEA HIN participated in a School Nutrition Foundation webinar, entitled Teamwork is Key to Successful Food Allergy Management in Schools. Over ...
A recent article in the San Diego Union-Tribune celebrated the Developing Reading Education with Arts Method (DREAM) program that is being implemented in ten school districts in San Diego's North County. The program trains and supports third- and fourth-grade teachers in incorporating the arts (puppetry, miming, acting, dancing and more) into their lessons.
The results are, as quoted in the article, "astonishing." Third-grade students whose teachers received a week-long summer training on integrating the arts into their teaching and weekly in-class coaching from arts professionals had an 87-point average increase on a standardized reading test (which is scored from 150 to 600). Students whose teachers received no arts training had just a 25-point average increase. While we know that standardized test scores are not always an accurate indicator of whether students are learning, this model is definitely one to consider as we look for ways to raise the reading levels of all students.
Three things stuck out to me as key lessons we can transfer from the DREAM experience to other educational endeavors:
1) A rich curriculum, including the arts, is important. We at the Learning First Alliance have long recognized the benefits of including the arts as part of a rich curriculum in our public schools, and we have lamented the narrowing of the curriculum in ...
Yesterday, Education Secretary Arne Duncan hosted a town hall meeting to launch the RESPECT (Recognizing Educational Success, Professional Excellence and Collaborative Teaching) Project, a proposed $5 billion program included in the Obama Administration's 2013 budget. Typical of this administration's education initiatives, this program is competitive and challenges states and district to work with teachers, unions, colleges of education and other stakeholders to comprehensively "reform" the field of teaching.
I would have preferred that the Secretary used language that was more in line with "support and strengthen" the field of teaching since the word "reform" has been coopted by every harsh critic of public education, most of whom have little interest in exploring solutions that could strengthen the complex nature of teaching and learning. Having said that, the initiative provides much to celebrate and works to move the conversation around the important work of supporting public schooling to the strategy level in which all interested parties (which should be all of us) are involved. ...

Product Description
Dual bowl brake master cylinder for 1965-1973 Mustangs with non-power disc/disc or disc/drum brakes.The single master cylinder that the 1965-1966 Mustang is originally equipped with provides fluid pressure to all four wheels at the same time. All four wheels are linked together in a hydraulic fluid circuit. If a problem develops in any of the four brakes, lines, hoses or single master cylinder, that creates a fluid pressure loss. This will cause you to lose both front and rear brakes.
With a dual master cylinder, the brakes are split front and rear. If a problem develops in the front, only the front brakes would be lost. You would still have the rear brakes to bring you to a stop. The same would happen if you had a problem with the rear brakes, you would still have the front brakes to bring you to a stop.
This master cylinder has a 1" bore and will fit disc/drum and disc/disc applications. The front outlet is 3/8"-24 and the rear outlet is 1/2"-20.
Dual bowl conversion lines are required for installation on a 1965-1966 Mustang.

Seems like a decent product. I think it would be beneficial to the customer for CJ to specify which fittings fit to certain cars' brake lines off the distribution block, or even at an additional cost provide certain fittings with the kit.
I am working on a 1965 Falcon, which im converting the front drums into the kelsey hayes disc setup. This master cylinder is new not a rebuild looks and fits great. I would recommend to anyone.

Eat about 3/4 serving of instant grits.
I thought I would avoid the carbohydrate coma by adding protein and fat, but, it was a big fat fail. I ate the grits with crumbled bacon bits and light butter at 11am, and had to lay down and was out of it until about 2pm.
Good times.
Yes, I know better, yes, I have eaten this same food at least 5-10 times before with the same result, but I thought THIS TIME IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT! THIS TIME! BACON WOULD MAKE IT ALL BETTER! HA. My body says FUCK THE BACON, I WILL SHOW YOU!

Greater use of renewable energy is being aggressively promoted to combat climate change by the Chinese government and by other governments. Agricultural straw is the kind of renewable energy source that would become a pollution source if it is not well utilized. We select the Shiliquan straw-based electricity generation project in Shandong Province, China as a case and assess environmental externalities of straw utilization in power plants by using life-cycle analysis.
We present evidence for the coexistence of two antagonistic sugarcane ethanol production technologies in Brazil, with the Southeast region of the country having relatively mechanized production processes, and the Northeast area using labor-intensive ones.We highlight the main differences between the handproduction and fully automated mechanicalmanufacturing in the Brazilian ethanol industry and examine the historical, political, and economic factors that induced this regional technology gap that is currently observed.
Since 2000, many cities in China have moved their large-scale manufacturing plants from urban to suburban or other less-developed regions. This inter- or intra-regional plant relocation not only leads to changes in land use patterns but also affects institutional, socioeconomic, and environmental issues both at the local and regional levels. We call this regional restructuring process land recycling, which creates critical energy, environmental, financial, social, and political implications.
In this study, we first define the energy consumption of domestic investment as the investment-driven energy consumption (IDEC). Then, we build an energy input–output model to identify quantitatively the amounts of China's IDEC from 1992 to 2007.

In cities across the country, bike-sharing plans, tree-planting initiatives, and other programs aimed at enhancing urban sustainability are becoming increasingly popular. As mayors consider how to design and implement their own programs, they can turn for guidance to a series of MIT assessments of what kinds of programs have worked — and not worked — in other cities and why. The MIT director of the assessment project is now developing a systematic, user-friendly method of presenting this information as well as a protocol that will permit easy or even automatic updating of the content.

Medicinal Marijuana: What's a 60-day supply?
A team of scientists in Seattle tackling the tricky question of what constitutes a 60-day supply of medical marijuana found an answer from an unlikely source: the federal government.
Although U.S. law does not recognize marijuana as having a health benefit, the government has, for the past 30 years, supplied marijuana to a small group of patients in what is known as the Compassionate Investigational New Drug program, created as a result of a court settlement in 1978.
Sunil Aggarwal, a third-year medical student at the University of Washington; Dr. Gregory Carter, a rehabilitation specialist at UW; and Muraco Kyashna-Tocha, a cultural anthropologist at the CyberAnthropology Institute in Seattle, looked at how much marijuana the federal government provides to patients currently in the program.
The team reported in a peer-reviewed study published last month in Medscape General Medicine On-line Journal that the federal single-patient dosage averages 8.24 grams per day, or 6.63 pounds a year. Using these figures, they said, a 60-day supply equals 1.105 pounds, smoked.
The team also calculated a 60-day supply for marijuana that is ingested as food. Other researchers have estimated that smoked marijuana is three to five times as potent as marijuana absorbed through the gut. Using a factor of four, the team calculated that a 60-day supply of marijuana to be taken as food equals 4.42 pounds.

Watchtower softens position on Jehovah' Witnesses and blood transfusions? Canadian National Post Story.

Without fanfare, Jehovah's Witnesses quietly soften position on blood transfusions
Tom Blackwell, National Post Staff | Dec 20, 2012 9:59 PM ET
Calgary Herald/Files Lawrence Hughes broke with the Witnesses, and the rest of his own family, when it tried to prevent his teenage daughter, Bethany, who died in 2002, from receiving a blood transfusion while being treated for cancer.
For years, the Jehovah's Witnesses' fiercely held belief that blood transfusions are contrary to God's will led to emotional and very public disputes, hospitals clashing with parents over whether to infuse sick children.
That long history of messy legal confrontations appears to be vanishing, however, amid changing approaches to the issue on both sides, health-care officials say.
The church's ban on accepting blood still stands, but some major pediatric hospitals have begun officially acknowledging the parents' unorthodox beliefs, while many Jehovah's Witnesses are signing letters recognizing that doctors may sometimes feel obliged to transfuse, they say.
As institutions show more respect toward parents' faith and try harder not to use blood, Witnesses often seem eager to avoid involving child-welfare authorities to facilitate transfusions, and more accepting that Canadian case law is firmly on the doctors' side, some hospital officials say.
"They get it that we're going to transfuse where it's medically necessary. They've lost that battle; they understand that," said Andrea Frolic, a bioethicist at McMaster Children's Hospital in Hamilton, Ont. "But it's kind of an affront to their community to involve child-welfare services where there aren't concerns about neglect, there aren't concerns about abuse. … Part of the thing was 'Just go on and do it. Why do we need to involve CAS [Children's Aid Services]? It makes us feel like bad parents.' "
Ms. Frolic made a presentation on her hospital's two-year-old policy to the Canadian Society of Bioethics conference earlier this year and said several other children's hospitals are following similar approaches.
They include Sick Kids in Toronto and Montreal Children's Hospital.
To Calgary's Lawrence Hughes, an ex-Jehovah's Witness who fought a long court battle against the blood policy, the apparent changes are a sign that the Witnesses are fed up with the legal tussles, which he believes were unpopular with members and a strain on resources.
Mr. Hughes broke with the Witnesses, and the rest of his own family, when it tried to prevent his teenage daughter, Bethany, who died in 2002, from receiving a blood transfusion while being treated for cancer.
The turning point seemed to come in 2007, he argued. A Vancouver hospital had child-welfare officials seize some of the sextuplets born to a Jehovah's Witness couple that year so doctors could give them blood. The church's governing Watchtower Bible and Tract Society fought the move in a losing — and highly publicized — court battle.
"I think that did them in. They couldn't take it any more," said Mr. Hughes. "I've been contacted by people who used to be in my congregation, and they left because of this [blood ban]."
Mark Ruge, a spokesman for the Watchtower Society in Georgetown, Ont., said the church, which has branches throughout the world, has not altered its blood ban, though he said he could not account for the actions of individual families.
David Gnam, one of the Witnesses' lawyers who has handled many of the transfusion cases, also said there has been no official change in policy, though he is aware that some hospitals have patients sign forms.
"I've been involved in cases representing Jehovah's Witnesses patients and occasionally it's been in everybody's best interests to come to some sort of agreement between the parties," he said. "But that's just individual hospitals, doctors and patients."
Still, evidence suggests that the number of cases that end up before a judge has dropped significantly. The Canlii website, which catalogues many Canadian court decisions, includes nine separate child blood-transfusion rulings from 2000 to 2007, but just three in the five years since then.
Mikael Kjellstrom (Kjellstràm) /Calgary Herald / Files Lawrence Hughes in 2006.
The Witnesses' conviction that agreeing to transfusions of whole blood can lead to damnation, officially adopted in 1945, stems from various Bible verses that call on followers to "abstain from" blood.
Disputes arise when parents refuse transfusions on behalf of children below the age of consent. Hospitals in the past typically approached child-welfare authorities, who asked the courts for an order giving them temporary custody so they can ensure the transfusion is administered.
Toronto's Sick Kids now will go to "all lengths" to find alternatives to transfusing blood when Jehovah's Witnesses voice their opposition, said Rebecca Bruni, a bioethicist at the hospital. It also asks parents to sign a letter of understanding — drafted with the help of one of the church's hospital liaison committees — that says the institution recognizes their religious objections and will try to avoid transfusions if at all possible. The letter is not a consent form, but adds that where the child is at imminent risk of serious harm or death, medical staff will press ahead with the transfusion.
"What is beautiful about this is that it's a symbolic way of embodying respect and dignity and when we do this, we don't need to call Children's Aid, which can be messy and ugly."
McMaster Children's Hospital has a similar letter of understanding, recognizing that providing a blood transfusion can be traumatic when "it has potentially eternal consequences," said Ms. Frolic.
McGill Children's Hospital in Montreal has had such a protocol for about a decade, and found that it brought about a "real, significant drop" in conflicts, said Lori Seller, a clinical ethicist at the facility.
All the ethicists stress, as well, that some Jehovah's Witnesses do not agree with the blood ban, but are anxious that their green light to transfusion be kept confidential.
"Some families are really more concerned about other Jehovah's Witnesses finding out they consented to the blood transfusion," said Ms. Seller.

Very true. They hope & pray they never are faced with a life & death decision about blood transfusion. If it came down to that, life & death, I think the majority would prefer to LIVE but keep it a secret.
The ramifications are too "deadly".

A fascinating read.
I found this part particularly interesting...
The Canlii website, which catalogues many Canadian court decisions, includes nine separate child blood-transfusion rulings from 2000 to 2007, but just three in the five years since then.
Now that's a significant reduction.
Who knows, maybe dropping the blood ban will be the big story of 2013? Mind you, as others have commented before, doing this could well expose the Society to a raft of lawsuits from the families of those who died observing the doctrine. If it wasn't for that very real danger, the Society would doubtless of ditched the blood ban years ago.

I think the WS has already opened themselves up for trouble
when they said to abstain from blood fractions in the Reasoning book
Then stated in the Aug 2006 Awake that blood fractions are not mentioned in the bible so it's your choice
Think of how many folk died between the time the Reasoning book
and the Aug Awake 2006 mag was printed
New light won't cover that mess, the bible is over 2000 years old
And in all those meetin's they never notice the word " Blood fraction " was missin' ????

wasblind - great point. The Society has been moving the goalposts on the blood doctrine for years now - perhaps intentionally.
It might be that the Society CAN ditch the blood ban without fear of significant legal reprisals. After all, what card-carrying Witness would dare to consider suing the Watchtower, their spiritual mother? They would be disfellowshipped in a heartbeat for "causing division" and failing to keep pace with "new light".

I wonder if anyone from Canada can get a sample copy of this form (or type of form) that can be posted here. (And thus made available for JWs worldwide.) There are some neat ideas in this. Overuse of blood is dangerous too. This type thing seems to strike a nice middle ground for JW parents who don't agree with the Society but also face the Judicial realities that the WT imposes on them.
My WT nose says that this is something the Society will try not to let out of Canada among the general Witness population. It might even be something they don't acknowledge until it becomes a necessity for an individual family.
I also see the standard blood doctrine lie that they haven't changed positions on blood (aka fractions). Its all PR. 'We have always been the same, because we have always taught what the Bible says.'

Quote "David Gnam, one of the Witnesses' lawyers who has handled many of the transfusion cases, also said there has been no official change in policy"
What a liar-- how Gnam can say that after all the changes with fractions. LIAR LIAR

My read was that Jehovah's Witnesses - the Publishers, NOT Jehovah's Witnesses - the Organization, are the ones "softening."
The writer evidently doesn't understand that this thing works top=>down, not bottom=>up.

from someone not in the know, (The writer), it would seem natural that the org would follow what the publishers prefer. He has no idea of the thought control imposed on them.
Interesting how publishers view "sin". "Sin" apparently is only a "sin" if others in the hall know about it.

Blood products from humans and Bovine
" Some manufacturers now process hemoglobin, releasing it from human or Bovine red blood cells.
The end product is called a hemoglobin based oxygen carrier, or HBOC. Scince the heme is responsible
for the rich red color of blood, a unit of HBOC looks just like a unit of red blood cells, the primary component
from which it is taken.
The HBOC can be stored at room temperature and used months later. HBOC is derived from blood,
and carries out the key function of a primary component of blood, the red cells. Hemoglobin, from which
the HBOC is derived, makes up a significant portion of that component"__________August Awake 2006 page 11 Grey box
Bottom line : they now refer to blood parts as derivetives because it's more than a tiny fraction

I don't think they're dropping the blood ban, they are just signing forms that basically say "We don't want you do give my kid blood, but if it was serious enough where you would otherwise go to court, just do the blood instead of taking us to court; we know we would lose in court anyway." It's a loophole. Also, I think this is only for minors. Competent adults still have to die instead of taking blood if it comes down to it.
Also - if they did change the blood policy they would face no legal liability in the U.S. Moral outrage, I would have to think, is another story.

Not so sure about that. It's well documented that the ban on blood was real. It doesn't help printing magazines, telling of countless youth, dying for this principle.
I beleive it would open them to lawsuits for this policy, only to pull a 180

Not too sure about that !
Being that the WTS. is responsible in encouraging certain human behaviors which resulted in pain and suffering in people,
they may very well be held libel.
Leading and encouraging people to act in giving up their life, may create wrongful death law suits against the WTS.
Perhaps not so easy in the States with the free of religion act to hide behind but perhaps more so in other countries.

The JW view of transfusions are downright bordering on some form of idol worship. They care more about the symbol of blood than what it is supposed to be a symbol of.

A reader tells me the major Connecticut papers are having a field day with GOP state attorney general candidate Martha Dean because of her support of nullification. Poor Thomas Jefferson: he's become radioactive in his own country. I'm afraid my schedule is impossible right now or I'd be writing more in her defense. (I did write this brief piece the other day.) I am sure that whatever is being said about her is idiotic and reveals zero knowledge of history. Anyone who would like to defend her, write letters to the editor, etc., is welcome to draw ideas and information from the nullification section on my Articles page.

Hai guys just a little update from me!
I'm going to go through a very large change in my main and alt accounts, so listen up!~
I'm officially going to be active again!
Well, as much as i can.
I'll be moving my digital and pixel collabs from Milkie-Moo and Miss-Birdie to here and moving ALL of my bases to Milkie-Moo and my literature will stay on Miss-Birdie , making them my base and literature accounts.
I'll be remaking all my current bases on this account, neatening them up and remodeling them to my liking.
This means i do not want any more comments linking me to the art that you've created with my base!
They all look great, don't get me wrong, but it's spamming my messages and i keep missing very important messages from friends which is highly bothersome to me.
Aaand that's about it!
I plan on drawing allot more now so i wanted to store all my goodies in one place, means my buddies wont get lost or wonder where i am heh

PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD - Trinidad and Tobago may be missing nine of their frontline and experienced players, but to captain Rayad Emrit, that is no excuse for the poor performances in their 192-run loss to Jamaica yesterday in the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Regional Four-Day Tournament at Queen's Park Oval.

I brewed a 5 gallon batch of a 90 minute IPA on August 1 with an O.G. of 1.050.
I've taken measurements in the past 2 days and the readings on the hydrometer are 1.008.
I'm gonna take another measurement tonight. If it reads 1.008, you think its ready to bottle? Its been in the fermenter for about 24 days now.
Swim - bike - run - repeat
Indict - convict - affirm on appeal - repeat
Brew - bottle - drink - repeat
Now or another week, either/or, you should be good to go. By your readings fermetation is good and done, its just cleaning up now. just remember its your call
What do you mean by "cleaning up?"
Once you hit your predict FG (or when it is steady as in you case) the yeast will begin "cleaning" so to speak. They'll start working on some of the byproducts of fermentation, eating up this and that. Also the yeast and other particals will begin to settle on the bottle.
The longer it sits the more which will settle, which generally results in a clearer beer. Some leave it in the primary for 3 weeks or even a month or more. In many cases fermentation is done within the first 10 days or so. so the rest is kinda like a clarfication period.
My last two batches were done in under 1 week, but I left it in for 3 weeks total to let the yeast clean up and for everything to settle out of the beer. It resulted in some pretty clear homebrew
Catch my drift?
That's very interesting. Is it fair to say that the cleaning up is more cosmetic than substantive? I am wondering whether by letting the yeast clean up the beer you get (literally) a clean beer such that it would minimize hangovers, if consumed in excess.
I think its a bit of both. Mostly cosmetic as a lot of "stuff" will fall out of suspension giving a clearer appearance, but from what I've learned here is that some of the "stuff" might not allow the beer to be all it can be, thus a bit substantive.
I don't think it'll clean it up like say triple distilled vodka and be utter hangover free. Interesting theory though. I,d brew up a session if you want something you can knock back a few not feel like crap in the AM. I love British style session beer for this reason, so far all the brews I've done are under 5%. I have a Scottish 70 in the primary now
Good luck and keep me posted.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/19/12 -- Mindjet® today announced the availability of their purpose-built app for mobile team and project management, Mindjet Tasks. The redesigned app has been completely reconfigured so that professionals can, with a swipe of a finger, manage team projects and tasks at any time and from any location. The app is immediately available on iTunes® and will be updated for iPad® and Android devices later in Q4.
The age of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is here: Nine out of 10 workers carry a smart phone at work(1), and 80 percent continue to work after leaving the office(2). Increasingly, these team-centric workers have been accessing mobile devices to check in on projects and email, whether they are in meetings or on the road. Yet, effective team communications and project management have been missing.
With more teams working virtually, increased coordination and real-time updates are critical to keep activities on track -- whether it's managing marketing campaigns, recruiting new hires or planning project launches. Mindjet Tasks empowers the distributed workforce with a mobile hub to manage projects, tasks and teams in an easy-to-use and intuitive interface. With Mindjet, mobile teams can now innovate and execute on their best ideas, together, from their smartphones.
"Our research shows that most organizations are concerned about meeting the evolving needs of inherently mobile roles, such as sales and field service," said Chris Silva, an analyst with Altimeter Group. "These groups have distinct needs around not just consuming information on devices, but also creating and sharing information. The companies that deliver upon these productivity needs stand to capture a broad, dedicated user base."
With the latest release, Mindjet advances its popular mobile app, overhauling the user experience and adding features such as:
- Mobile team and project modules that enable project and team management from the mobile device
- Instinctual gesture controls for easy updates, task tracking, comments and team management
- Ability to share information and plans, assign priorities and track tasks with multiple team members regardless of location
- Real-time updates on documents, progress and plans, including team comments
- Patent-pending auto-prioritization of tasks to keep you and your team on the right track
- Instant connection with Mindjet web and desktop to update or add to your latest ideas and plans
"Mindjet Tasks does for teams what Clear and Any.Do do for the individual. It combines elegance and efficiency to bring people and plans together, meeting the evolving work needs of the always-on-the-go mobile professional," said Mindjet CMO Jascha Kaykas-Wolff. "With Mindjet, professionals can be more productive, creative and organized to, quite simply, work inspired."
To download a free copy of the new Mindjet app with Tasks, go to iTunes. To learn more about Mindjet Tasks, go to www.mindjet.com/mobile.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

The volume is a compilation of papers presented at the Sixth Convocation of the Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences held in Washington, D.C. in the spring of 1987. The convocation brought together about one hundred leaders in technology from more than twenty countries to discuss issues of "Technology and the Global Economy." The program of the convocation was structured around four objectives:
identification and discussion of the driving technologies of the current era, for example, in materials, information, and manufacturing;
evaluation of how technological advances are transforming industrial sectors such as telecommunications and construction;
exploration of how in turn the global economy is affecting technology and production through such factors as marketing strategies, intellectual property rights, and financial markets; and
clarification of regional and national consequences of globalizing industries for several geographical areas including the Pacific Rim, Western Europe, and Latin America.
An overall assessment of the issues raised was provided in conclusion by a panel consisting of Morris Tanenbaum, Wolf Häfele, Sir Robin Nicholson, and Robert Malpas. On the one hand, their assessment made clear that though most technological advance occurs in industry, there are too few mechanisms for exchange of views on international technology and cooperation that involve both private and public sector representatives in a forum not constrained by the formal policies and stands of national governments. There is great need for improved and more open lines of international communication on topics where engineering and technology intertwine with trade and economic growth.
At the same time, the panelists' evaluations made clear a hierarchy of four sets of relationships among technology, technologists, and the societies they attempt to serve. The first of these includes relationships at the human level, ranging from professional education to relations between management and labor to the public's understanding of the impact of technology on our lives. The second includes relationships at the institutional level, that is, the impact of technology on the management of businesses and industries. The third relationship is at the national level, where public and private interactions determine the use of technology and possibly a country's ability to grow economically. The fourth relationship occurs at the international level. Here information flows, trade frictions, and alliances characterize technological development, its diffusion, global competition, and economic advance.
At the human level a key area of change is the invisible contract between a manufacturing company and its customers and employees. In the factory, we are seeing a movement away from the expectation that workers should be organized to fit the technologies and a movement toward networking and
