At the End of The Day of the Girl
- Commentary
- By Janet Paskin
When I was a kid, my bra-burning, war-protesting mother had a t-shirt that said "Don't Call Me Girl." I thought it was hysterical. I wore it when I was seven.
This is what I've been thinking about all day, as I've been considering today's observation of Day of the Girl, the slightly anodyne, 'You Go Girl' celebration of the Girl Child, so declared by the U.N. last December.
I've read calls for more educational opportunities for girls, more and more readily available contraception, cash grants to girls, a global agreement on the legal age of marriage, the end to child marriage, and so on.
More than anything, I've read stories about Malala Yousufzai, the 14-year-old Pakistani schoolgirl and blogger now in critical condition after being shot in the head and neck by Taliban gunmen.
Like all families with a daily sprint from bed to school and work, we have a ticking clock that starts when the adults wake up and ends with us boarding the bus toward school, scrubbed and dressed with backpacks and work bags in hand.
Wheels-up in our household is 7:30 sharp on a weekday morning. If the front door closes later than that, we miss the city bus we take to school.
With a schedule this tight, our biggest problem is dawdling. There have been agonizingly slow searches for the perfect hair bow.
We usually manage to make it to school on time, but breakfast is the activity that gets squeezed the most. The morning schedule is supposed to allow for 20 minutes of breakfast for the children. Realistically, it's usually 15 minutes, and often 10 or less. That's barely enough time for a bowl of cereal or a yogurt and a glass of milk. Not infrequently, I have to hand out granola bars to be eaten on the bus.
That's not good, according to a new study on breakfast and children's thinking and focus.
It seems like the beginning of a porn movie. A serious man with a microscope looks startled (or is he intrigued?) when three glamazons burst into his lab.
Apparently they are there to prove that girls can rock science in micro-mini skirts and five-inch stiletto heels. Look! Makeup is chemistry! Ooooh, the inside of a smart phone is sort of, like, techie!! OMG, a lipstick looks like the "I" in science!
Remember the "Allergic to Algebra" tee-shirt? This is 20 times worse.

I have had a 3ft fern since last summer. It looked fantastic in the garden, the leaves were huge too an every week another one appeared!
However, I'm in Scotland and we had a horrific winter with temperatures reaching -10 celsius! Now the little fronds in the trunk are a dark brown and feel very soft. Is this usual before they start to grow or has the winter killed off my poor fern? Any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated! Thanks! Heather x |

Hi, Heather. Do you know what type of fern it is? Did the fronds go from green to brown, or have they always been brown? And you're sure this isn't the normal discarding of last season's fronds? Josh |
- Posted by stephenpope2000uk Brighton, UK (My Page) on Tue, May 18, 10 at 6:39
No, your new season Dicksonia antarctica croziers should definitely not be soft when you reach into the crown of the trunk and feel them. Healthy croziers waiting to emerge should be tightly coiled, quite hard to the touch, but also covered in a thick protective hair layer. It sounds like your winter lows were just too severe and prolonged for your tree fern and it's now turned to mush, almost certainly beyond recovery. If nothing shows by June or July it's too late, I'm afraid and you'll need a replacement. Some overwintering protection (as advised on the label when you bought it?) is pretty much mandatory for Scottish tree ferns. |

Do you two know eachother? For the life of me, I can't see any mention of a 'tree' fern.... Josh |

'For the life of me, I can't see any mention of a tree fern...' I hope you're not on Homicide, Josh - you'd make a very bad detective. All the clues are there. Heather tells us she has acquired an instant three-foot high trunked fern with huge fronds. Trust me, there are no other ferns that match that description on the UK gardening scene - it's the imported Tasmanian tree fern Dicksonia antarctica. And I can even tell you she will have paid around $150 for it, so it's no surprise she's depressed about its soggy condition after our recent abnormally severe winter. |

I guess so. I'm used to large ferns, and the "fronds in the trunk" didn't jump out at me. Case closed. Josh |

The main reason people get diverticulitis is simple. People eat a lot of processed food. It's junk food with poor nutrion, terrible additive to enhance flavor (since it tastes like crap) and salt (increased blood pressure) and no natural fiber. To save money since people are more conscious of eating fiber, they add a filler made from wood called cellulose. That's abnormal fiber. Why not just eat cardboard?
If you keep putting that junk in your body, then your waste is not swept from the numerous folds of the intestines. It applied pressure and causes weakness in the walls of the large intestine. Some people even fail to have a bowel movement every day. That's shocking. All of that, plus family history, causes diverticulitis.
It's not caused by things like respiratory infection, but it could be caused by numerous gasteroenteritis. When you take an antibiotic, it kills a lot of helpful bacteria in the gut (intestines). Then a lot of people don't eat probiotics (food with good bacteria like lactobaccilis). Yogurt and kefir have it and the latter is delicious. It's a sweet drink that's more common now, probably due to more immigrants from Russia. Try it, they even make a lactose-free kind for people sensitive to milk.
Doing those things will really help you.

Well I tried and I have to say worst episode ever. Anybody else see that shark or did we jump it so high it was out of focus? Damn it guys I lived through the destruction of Heroes and now this.
Well besides Twilight becoming a princess and getting wings, how exactly did this episode destroy the show? I still got the same themes from it... friendship... loyalty... happiness... music... seems like MLP to me.
SkullHydra:Well besides Twilight becoming a princess and getting wings, how exactly did this episode destroy the show? I still got the same themes from it... friendship... loyalty... happiness... music... seems like MLP to me.
Than by all means continue to watch and enjoy.
Well, that was bad, but it wasn't because of the wings. The pacing in that episode was atrocious.
Best EPISODE EVER! Also, from what I understand this is a three part episode. I think season 4 will continue on from this point and such. Megan Mc Carthy says so herself on her twitter. So no worries everypony. Hang in there if you didn't like this episode because it is only a third of the way over!
Also, it appears derpy was in this episode!!!!!
I think we can all agree that the songs were awesome, but the pacing was terrible. I kind of like Alicorn Twilight now, even though I was expecting to hate it. And they actually said Alicorn, nice.
I honestly think some people WANT to hate it.
I like turtles. And monkeys. And cats.
xl9: I honestly think some people WANT to hate it.
honestly think some people WANT to hate it.
You don't say?
Either way I am super excited for season four and am even willing to give the (possible,it is still a rumor) Equestria Girls spin off a shot.
Well, I loved the episode for sure, and I welcome the new change. I'd like to see what they can do with it in S4. I really liked this whole episode too with the music, story, and even pacing. The thing is, this is an introduction to a new concept which they said they would expand on in the next season I guess. So, to me at least, it didn't feel rushed. Having Derpy back is satisfying too, even though I didn't see her.
Also, I may write a fanfic based off this new change and the spell used in the episode. I think it would be fun to write one, even if it didn't turn out very well. I just don't know when I'll start it and where to start exactly, but the idea is there, lol.
Now that I'm done with other business,
Considering the tweet saying this was more or less a 1 of 3 episode, I'm willing to put faith behind the writers. Also, this wasn't a cheap, "hey twiloit lol, ur an alicorn lol." It was a legit, "you've moved up from what you are, and have become something new." So as much as I don't really like the idea, I'm happy they did it right.
And I also got an idea for a story from this episode. (granted I had the idea before, I just gained some good ideas from the episode)
And lol Libertydude
Also, I forgot to mention...
CELESTIA SINGING????? That's pretty dang cool.
I guess I've missed several episodes, but of the ones I've seen, this is one of the most interesting. It breaks away from the typical slice of life style of the show pretty profoundly, actually developing the central character in a meaningful way--something that most shows of the genre wouldn't dream of doing. And that from a marketing gimmick Hasbro obviously thrust upon the writers.
Of course, it had its serious flaws, the biggest one being lack of a decent first act. The whole conflict had no real introduction, only being explained in medias res. When there's a series-changing effect--basically the first one to take place in the show--I'd expect a decent reason for the conflict, and ensuing triumph. People keep mentioning the coming episodes, but I don't think that those can fix this problem. This episode needed to be split in two parts: the first part introducing the spellbook as something relevant and important, rather than just a mcguffin, and laying out the basic idea of what "princess" means in this universe. The second episode basically being this one, but now with less cramped pacing. From what I understand, though, the writers didn't have the chance to do it in two episodes, so for what they had to work with, I've got to applaud them. They made it work thematically, establishing the general theme of the show in a retrospective-y way, and then building on that to develop the story further.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the next season, now. It seems like the writers took this as an opportunity to keep the show from stagnating, and I'll be interested to see how the character dynamics might change, and what new stories will open up now that Twilight has wings and princess-status. Heck, I'm excited just for the fanfic that this turn of events will inspire. This almost seemed like a fanfic, because it took made such a drastic change in a primarily static continuity. That's something I've been wanting this whole time I've been a fan of the show: divergence from the "now everything's back to normal" at the end of every episode, be it premier or finale.
Plus, I'm really looking forward to the episode where Dash teaches Twilight how to fly well. I don't know if there's been an episode focusing on Twilight and Dash, but I think that exploring the parallels and conflicts between those personalities could be really interesting. Also, now there will hopefully be some content in the episodes where Twilight can be recognized as the three-time savior of the world that she is.
I can definitely see some bad stuff coming from this, but I think we've got some really cool episodes coming our way next. It's about time we had some change, anyway. Bring on season 4!

Wow, a billion things right away.
also, serves as a very good ending to the series as a whole (though that isn't the case). I do think this is mainly hasbro shoving marketing up the animation teams ass, however, given their circumstances (only 20 minutes to make this story work) they did well.
as an episode: Cool.
As a series of continuance: Interesting.... ... ... we'll just wait and see, won't we?
ever the pragmatist,
Fear My Strings. Fear them.
Fantastic episode.
But if it had been a two parter, they would have been my favorite episodes of the series. *Sigh* What might have been...
First off, the music was amazing. "A True, True Friend" is probably my favorite song of the entire third season. Wow. And... CELESTIA SINGS!
Oh, ponies with mixed up destinies? That was as good as Discorded ponies. (Too bad it didn't get an entire episode to set up this conflict...) And the way Twilight helped each of her friends to help another was great. Friendship really is magic.
That scene with Twilight and Celestia in the heavens... might be my favorite scene from the entire series. Just beautiful.
So... Twilight's a princess now. Awesome. As long as she's still Twilight, I don't care if she has wings or not.
(But they better not retcon the whole thing come Season Four. It happened. She's a princess now. Commit to it. This whole "the finale is really just part one of three" thing concerns me. I didn't want it to happen in the first place, but now that it has, and they made such a big deal about it changing things between Twilight and Celestia, they HAD BETTER NOT GO BACK ON IT.)
When Twilight's friends stared at that smoking crater they made... I laughed out loud. XD "Gals, you've vaporized Twilight!"
And Pinkie's reaction to Twilight getting wings was priceless.
Anyway, I liked the episode. I think it was as good as "Magic Duel." I wish they hadn't tried to cram all of that story and all of those songs into twenty minutes...
Kolwynia: Fantastic episode. But if it had been a two parter, they would have been my favorite episodes of the series. *Sigh* What might have been...
Even though I was disappointed by the episode, I did really like that third song (it was the sad Twilight one I think). It sounds very different from any other song in the series.

I feel so good to be back home in Germany. Get me the Eisbein and we will drink a beer! Ich liebe dich, Rostock. Ich liebe dich, Peter Kohl - mein Bruder!!.

Although I don't sew often with mono filament thread, I don't think I set the tension or stitch length as high as what the OP had. Hoping that someone with more experience will post. |
One thing is are you using the correct needle? Jayne |
What would it take, Janye? 90? |
- Posted by toolgranny (My Page) on Sun, Mar 6, 11 at 16:10
I don't set my tension that high. Try easing off on the tension a bit at a time while you sew samples till you get a number your machine likes. All machines have their own particular likes. |
I find a Metafil needle (normally used for metallic threads) quite helpful when using a polyester monofilament. I never use the nylon monofilament threads. My tension is reduced, but only slightly. |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Sun, Mar 6, 11 at 16:53
Is it being used in the bobbin? If it is, the tension while winding the bobbin may be too tight, stretching the mono filament, making the thread break. I don't use it often, but I have a stitch on my machine, that mimics hand quilting that requires mono filament thread to get that space - it is a real pain, but it looks wonderful. I have my settings for tension written down, but what is right for my machine is not going to be right for another. |

New project will assess animal numbers in east Africa
Thousands of people flock to east Africa every year to experience the ultimate African safari holiday.
Tanzania and Kenya are famous for their extensive array of wildlife, with exotic creatures constantly patrolling national parks such as the Serengeti and the Masai Mara.
Some of the world's most renowned predators - such as leopards and lions - are also frequently seen in this part of the world.
A landmark new project has now been launched to discover how many carnivores actually reside in the Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro cross-border ecosystem.
The ten-day initiative is the first ever carnivore census to be conducted in the region and it is hoped that the results will give conservationists a better idea of population numbers.
Costing around £9,150, the scheme is being run jointly by the Tanzania Wildlife Division, Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and African Wildlife Fund.
"The census is aimed to provide baseline information to set up a long-term monitoring programme for large carnivore populations in the Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro cross-border ecosystem," a spokesperson for the KWS commented.
Why The Adventure Company?
We've over 250 adventures worldwide & take 10,000 travellers away annually. We've been operating over 15 years & pioneered the concept of family adventures.

Mark Twain's fictional detective Pudd'nhead Wilson suggested "Put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket!"
Concentration creates opportunities for leverage, for both defenders and attackers. The decision of whether to concentrate your forces, or to split them up, is a classic military one. Not every approach is relevant for every situation. The infosec field has spent years debating the monoculture issue, asking whether the Internet has sufficient genetic diversity to ensure that entire virtual fields don't fall over simultaneously. Those discussions need to be revisited in the context of cloud computing.
Greater concentration of customers and data in cloud-based services will lead to an overall higher level of protection, but when failures do occur, they could potentially result in huge levels of damage. When organizations assess the risk of using any particular XaaS offering, they are only concerned about the impact of a security failure or data loss on their own organization. This level of self-concern is understandable, but it leaves unaddressed a more profound and abstract question, "What would be the social/economic/national/global impact of an incident that affected all the customers of a major provider?"
The US Federal government is in the process of finishing what will likely be the most thorough form of cloud service risk analysis yet devised. Although FedRAMP risk assessment information will be shared between agencies, each will perform an assessment that only takes into account the risk to their own agency. The latest FedRAMP draft omits the question "what would be the impact on the entire government of a failure affecting all the customers of a widely-used service?" Some of the services that will be offered to the Feds are going to be offered from semi-private clouds, limited just to other government agencies.
Cloud Service Providers have astronomical expectations encompassing millions of customers and petabytes of data. The greater their success, the more they must be considered as a form of 'critical infrastructure'. Is the security and reliability of these offerings a legitimate public policy concern?

The US government will also use the census to determine how to divvy up $400 billion in annual federal spending for programs such as Medicaid.
How accurate is it?
The process has "a variety of -quality-control procedures built in," says Robert Groves, census director. After the census itself is over, for example, the bureau will conduct another survey – "a large sample-based" one to see how well it did, Mr. Groves says.
The undercounting of residents is of particular concern to many states and cities. After the 2000 Census, the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, in a report to Congress, estimated that because of undercounting, 31 states and the District of Columbia lost $4.1 billion for eight federal programs between fiscal years 2002 and 2012.
Will the census count noncitizens?
Yes, US law requires a count of all "persons" and "inhabitants" – without specifying whether they are citizens or noncitizens, legal or illegal.
The First Congress was aware that many foreign-born people were living in the country, says Audrey Singer, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington. "They intentionally did not use the term 'citizen,' " she says of the 1790 law establishing the census.

Successful Cold Fusion Experiment?
Il Sole authoritative? Maybe... (387 comments)
Setting aside the fact that a journal being more or less "authoritative" doesn't add nor subtract anything to the experiment itself , you are correct when saying it's quite a journal in Italy.
In Italy, in which an university professor of mathematics publicly pointed out that some articles published on the paper don't report factual lies, but they don't necessarily tell the whole story as well or report it very accurately.
Particularly, when it comes to articles that may or may not suggest some people to invest in privately owned pension funds, a good faith omission may quickly turn into a financial disaster for the little investor.
Nobody is saying that anybody is being paid or rewarded for emphasizing only some aspect of reality and not others, not at all! That would be so unethical that many of the prestigeous writers on IlSole would never sell out for money! Never, professionals don't sell their integrity for money.

Zombies gather to help fight hunger
Deanna O' Dwyer, 13, of Salem got a seriously scary hairstyle as she prepared to frighten runners at the Granite State Church's Zombie Run Saturday morning. (April Guilmet) |
Sponsored by the Granite United Church, which has campuses in Salem, Londonderry, Lawrence, Mass., and Haverhill, Mass., the event benefitted food pantries in each of the church's respective communities.
Many of the runners weren't affiliated with the local mega-church, which was just fine with Gregg DiCecca, one of the church's several pastors.
"It's been all kinds of crazy," said Youth Pastor Tom King, the event's main organizer. "Obviously our biggest mission is to help keep the local food banks full … and have some good old family fun while we're at it."
"It's nice to be able to show them that church can be fun," King said. "Events like this have a way of bringing all of us together, and at the end of the day that's what it's all about."firstname.lastname@example.com

Amina Tyler, 19, was found in the midst of police scuffles with hardline Salafist group Ansar al-Shariah in the central Tunisian city of Kairouan on Sunday.

Hi there:
I've been sewing for 3 years, but most of my projects have not involved too complicated techniques. I feel like I am ready for a new challenge and was hoping to get a few suggestions on the best techniques to attach sleeves (or any round sewing for that matter) and zippers. Thank you in advance for the help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Jujucrafts. Have you ever thought of sewing a duffle bag? It includes the sewing in a circle and the zipper and is a great first project. There are patterns online and in some books that may it at your library. I usually put the straps on first then sew the zipper. Sew the zipper in on one side with right side of the fabric down to the right side of the zipper fold over so right side is up again and sew that side of the zipper again so it will be a very secure zipper and then repeat for the other side. Pin the circle to the rube and stitch. I usually hand baste the circle and tube together so it will be easier to machine stitch and then repeat for the other side. It is a great first project that I can use to take projects to events where my children are playing or when I go to the Y to work out. It is a fast project that will give you an item to use right away. If you make the side shorter you could use as a purse also. |
I do sew but haven't made clothes/tops for a long time. For sleeves do make sure you mark the dots on the patterns to the material and match them up. I usually do very small snips/cuts in fabric to mark the dots, but be very careful if you do that so you don't cut too far. (Try using a lightweight cotton fabric for first project, just easier to work with) That marks on the pattern helps for the proper distribution of fabric. You do have to ease in and stretch the fabric to get it all fit together. I usually used just pins and never hand basted, but for the first time I would hand baste after you get it all pinned, lots of pins. ...Zippers, never did too many, they usually have good directions on the package. |
- Posted by kathi_mdgd (My Page) on Tue, Nov 23, 10 at 15:43
The directions on the zipper pkg are very good,read them over a few time b4 you do your project.Why not make a simple make up bag with a zipper first.It's made with the fabric in it's flat form(before it's joined together)insert the zipper,then make sure you UNZIP the zipper,put right side together and sew up the rest of the seams. Sleeves aren't hard either,just follow the directions with the pattern and before you know it you'll be a pro at both things. |
The best tip my mother taught me was to sew on the inside of a circle. That goes for everything - sleeves, hems, no matter what. It may seem obvious, but when you are wrestling with a lot of fabric, it almost feeds itself if you are sewing on the inside of the circle. If it isn't clear from what I wrote, it will be as soon as you start arranging your pieces. Don't be afraid of zippers or sleeves; you'll get the hang of it. Sherry |

Academy founder and Director, Ana hails from Puerto Rico, where you might find her illustrating native and endangered plants in the field. Ana studied in classical ateliers for over 20 years in PR, the USA, and Europe. She has also studied painting in China, Japan and Tibet. Her art-centered, artventure travel has taken her to the field throughout Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, Japan, New Zealand, India, and many other worlds. An exhibiting and award-winning artist, Ana earned her BSc from Princeton University in Psychology, with a concentration in Visual Perception, and four years in Art History. She has a Masters in Urban Planning and Policy, and has worked in several museums and as award winning journalist. As art instructor, she teaches the technical craft traditions (long-standing ideals, theories, techniques and methods) of over 20 different media in both Western and Asian traditions. Some of her favorite things include saltwater, dogs, sailing, martial arts and dance, as well as airplanes and backyard astronomy. Ana has served on various Highland Park volunteer committees, and as art judge in neighboring communities. She sponsors a need-based scholarship at the Academy for young artists.
Aaron Balavram was born in Sayreville, New Jersey, but grew up in the great town of Highland Park, where he has spent most of his life. Having always had an adoration for the arts and sciences, he found a second home at the Academy of Art of Highland Park, where he learned to explore the craft of fine art as a science. Aaron began his training at the Academy at the age of fourteen, and by the following year, he was eager to expand his knowledge by aiding in the teaching of his peers, which he has continued to do for the past eight years. He is now a senior instructor, as well as the head of the sculpture department and "The Sky's the Limit" program for Artists with special needs
Aaron has also branched out to serve the community with other art programs, such as "Bridges", an Edison Township program for "at risk" youths, and is also heading the Veterans Housing Project donor-wall mural through the Highland Park Reform Church. He has also served as an after-school art teacher at Montesory Netivot, as well as the middle school and high school art teacher for the Pre-Collegiate Learning Center in East Brunswick.
Aaron has also been working with Ana on developing the Aii Field Studio, organizing field trips and outings for all you wonderful artists that just can't wait to get outside! He's always been somewhat of an outdoorsman himself, having been going camping and hiking with his friends and family for longer than he can remember.
Here at the Academy, you may also know Aaron as the one who takes your calls and emails, and is always happy to do so. He gets the privilege of greeting you all both on the phone and at the door, and he wouldn't have it any other way. Just know that when you give him a smile, you're making his day!
A young man with a gift for the web, David is the Systems Administrator at the Academy. He has been part of the AAHP team since his freshman year at Highland Park High School. He now studies Computer Science full time at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, just across the river from Highland Park.
David constructed and manages simultaneously the Academy of Art of Highland Park website, the ArtVentures International, Ink (Aii) website, and Ana's personal website—anasotocanino.com. He is in the studio as often as his busy college schedule allows him to be, constructing the Student Bulletin, designing a new poster for the studio, updating the website, managing all business data caches, or maybe just feeding Jauria.
In his spare time David loves to work his car, play drums in his band, and explore different parts of New Jersey on his bike.
To contact David directly regarding an inquiry about this website, please email email@example.com.
LE started taking classes at the AAHP in 2003 as a child, became a teen Coach in 2008, and now serves as a Senior Instructor whenever back in town. She is currently a Junior at the University of Delaware, studying Visual Communication. LE has grown up at the AAHP as her second home for the past 12 years. As the AAHP's professional designer, she has produced the AAHP's storefront sign, the ArtMobile vehicle wrap, and the studio's 2014-2015 T-shirt line. She also co-designed the new AAHP logo and has a backlog of further design jobs for the Academy. LE loves pasta and volleyball. Her de rigueur fashion style is "Comfortable-n-Lazy", to quote her verbatim. She watches way too many TV shows and still manages to keep all the stories straight.
Biography coming soon...
Megan was born and spent the majority of her childhood in Sydney Australia and moved to Metuchen New Jersey in 2006. She joined the Academy as a student in 2008, and has been coaching here since 2012. Megan has enjoyed and pursued traveling with her friends and family since birth and looks forward to experiencing as many different cultures as possible. She manages the AAHP's Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr.
Yu Qing, a 15-year old HPHS student, is trained and practiced in the healing arts that concern specialized tools and instruments. As our Brush Surgeon, she is in charge of the studio's Brush Hospital & Rehab Center, where she presides over the repair, conditioning, and maintenance of the professional instruments our students use day in and day out. These include everything from a 200-piece collection of professional brushes to technical pens, to lighting solutions, and much more. Yu Qing is also the one-woman army in charge of mid-week studio maintenance, Receiving, and dog handling. Last but not least, Yu Qing is one of three excellent members of the Coaching Team who serve Special Needs artists at the drawing board or easel. A rather skinny foodie, she notes "I like lentils, but I can eat the whole world." She's also a kickboxer.
Natalie has been flexing her muscle as one who is committed to community and service. She recently approached me seeking to do a little good through the studio, in whichever way she could. And that's when she immediately accepted the job of intern to our programs for the less advantaged.
It will be no small feat. Working alongside Aaron and myself, Natalie will rename, re-define, re-organize and launch our services to students with special learning needs, students whose families are experiencing financial crises, and those with visual impairments.
Natalie is a dynamo. In just two weeks, she has already shaken up things; she is now developing a program whereby local shopkeepers might routinely exhibit--–at their places of business---the astonishing work of our special needs artists.
I hope you give Natalie a warm welcome and all the enthusiasm and support you can muster. I now present this amazing teen, in her own words:
Hi there. My name is Natalie T. and I am an active student of the Academy of Art of Highland Park (AAHP), as well as an intern. I attend East Brunswick High School where I proudly work with the National Art Honor Society and Yearbook Club. In school, I am currently enrolled in a full year of Art Studio class, a semester of Intro to Sculpture, and a quarter class of Printmaking.
During my next couple of years in high school I will continue studying the visual arts and enrolling in honor and AP Art Studio classes. This is my third year studying art at AAHP and I am now on exploring watercolors.
Even though I am not exactly sure what I want to do when I get older, I definitely wish to study the arts in college and have a career in the arts.
My current job as AAHP intern is to refine our "Dare Dream: Anything is Possible" program", which provides services to young artists with special needs and to young artists currently facing disadvantages.
I am proudly coming up with new ideas everyday to make this an outstanding program. I look forward to serve through the program, and to meet in person all who might helps us out. Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
The Work Crew is the behind-the-scenes team that keeps the studio in working order. They come in on Friday when the studio is closed and toil like fairytale elves. Yet instead of working to the tinkling of silver bells, they play everything from old Beatles vinyl, to the newest indie hits. They do everything from vacuuming, cleaning, scrubbing, brush repair, furniture assembly and art supply shopping to washing all the rags the studio rag monster consumes. Everyone, works together to keep this ship afloat. Without the spirited and almost heroic toil of our daring work crew team we wouldn't have clean brushes, sharp pencils, or neatly organized works of art. The work crew is not currently accepting new applicants. The Work Crew includes manager Aaron Balavram, and crew members Patrick L., Tommy V., Lara P.-C., Carolyn H., and Yu Qing Z.

In February 2010, Thomas Friedman made the following plea in his New York Times column:
Although there remains a mountain of research from multiple institutions about the reality of climate change, the public has grown uneasy. What's real? In my view, the climate-science community should convene its top experts—from places like NASA, America's national laboratories, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford, the California Institute of Technology and the U.K. Met Office Hadley Centre—and produce a simple 50-page report. They could call it "What We Know," summarizing everything we already know about climate change in language that a sixth grader could under- stand, with unimpeachable peer-reviewed footnotes.
We couldn't agree more. It's quite remarkable that despite the steady growth in scientific understanding about the causes and effects of climate change, and the growing confidence of climate scientists that it poses a potentially serious threat to people, property, and ecosystems, the public seems more confused than ever. Is climate change really happening? If so, and if it's happened due to natural causes in the past, why should we think it's our fault this time? Haven't scientists been wrong before? They can't even predict the weather a week in advance; how can they possibly say anything about what the climate will be like fifty years from now?
A big part of the problem is that climatology is a relatively young and evolving field. Scientists are still learning about Earth's climate system—about how the land, oceans, and atmosphere absorb heat from the sun and move that heat around, and about how heat drives storms, droughts, sea-level rise, heat waves, and more.
But just because they don't know everything about the climate doesn't mean they know nothing. Far from it. They know for certain (and they've known for more than a hundred years) that carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere traps the sun's heat. They know that burning fossil fuels including coal, oil, and natural gas adds extra CO2 to the atmosphere beyond what's already there naturally. They know that humans have been burning more and more fossil fuels since the Indus- trial Revolution and that, as a result, levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are more than a third higher than they were a couple hundred years ago. No responsible scientist, including most of those who have been labeled "climate skeptics," argues with any of this.
There's also very little argument over what the broad effects of an increase in CO2 should be. The planet should get warmer. Sea level should begin to rise as warming ocean waters expand and as the warmer air melts glaciers and ice caps. That is exactly what both ground-based and satellite measurements have shown. On average, the oceans are about eight inches higher than they were in 1900, and the temperature is about 1.3°F hotter.
Things get more complicated when scientists try to predict what's likely to happen in the future. The reason is that Earth doesn't just respond passively to increasing temperatures: it can react in all sorts of ways that might boost the temperature rise or hold it back—and scientists haven't yet unraveled all of these possibilities. Increasing cloud cover could reflect extra sunlight back into space. Decreasing ice cover in the Arctic could do the opposite. Melting Arctic permafrost might release extra carbon that has been in a deep freeze for hundreds of thousands of years. It's also not clear precisely how the changes in temperature will translate into changes in local conditions, although it's very likely that familiar weather and climate patterns will change, perhaps in surprising ways. That's why this book isn't titled "Global Warming," but rather "Global Weirdness," since warming is only part of what we can expect.
These uncertainties are one reason the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, could only narrow the likely temperature rise by 2100 to between 3.2ºF and 7.2ºF above what it was in 2000. Another reason is that we don't know if fossil-fuel use will keep going up, or level off, or decline over that period.
This isn't to say that literally every climate scientist agrees with these findings. Some think that the temperature rise will be less than 3.2ºF, while others think it could be more than 7.2ºF. But there's no field in science, from genetics to evolutionary biology to astrophysics, where agreement is absolute. The reports issued periodically by the IPCC are meant to be snapshots of what climate scientists generally agree on at a given time (the most recent report came out in 2007; the next one is due out in 2013 or 2014). And despite some very public criticisms about the organization and its procedures, several independent investigations have shown only a tiny handful of scientific errors in the thousands of pages that make up the reports themselves. The same is true of the so-called Climategate episode, in which a few scientists said intemperate things in private e-mails and were somewhat sloppy in their record keeping. Outside investigators have found them guilty of carelessness but didn't find anything to cast doubt on the science itself.
Responsible scientists also know that it's important to keep questioning their own results. "The first principle," the physicist Richard Feynman once said, "is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool." He meant that scientists need to consider all plausible explanations for what they observe, not just the most obvious or conventional. If Earth is warming, it's probably due to greenhouse gases, but it could instead be that the sun is putting out more heat. Scientists have looked carefully at that possibility, and it doesn't seem to hold up. They've also looked at the role of volcanoes and other natural factors that have caused warming or cooling in the past, and so far nothing explains the warming as well as greenhouse gases do.
Finally, the public has undoubtedly been confused by statements about climate change that sound authoritative but are simply false. Take the often-repeated assertion that global warming stopped in 1998. If you look at a graph spanning the years 1998–2010, that might appear to be close to the truth. But 1998 was an unusually warm year, so it's a misleading starting point. If you start in 1997 or 1999, things look very different. And if you zoom out to look at a graph spanning the years 1900–2010, it's clear that the first decade of the twenty-first century is warmer than any decade during that 110-year period.
All of this wouldn't matter very much if we were talking about a field like astrophysics. It ultimately doesn't matter whether there's a black hole in the center of the Milky Way or not. But if the effects of climate change are going to be truly disruptive, the problem would be dangerous to ignore. If they're not, we risk diverting a lot of resources for no reason. The difficulty is that if we wait until scientists are absolutely certain about every detail, it will be impossible to undo the damage, whatever it turns out to be.
So it's crucial for the public and for policy makers to understand what we do know about climate change; what we strongly suspect to be true, based on the available evidence; and what we're still uncertain about. Such knowledge is necessary to make informed decisions.
This book is an attempt to do just that: to lay out the current state of knowledge about climate change, with explanations of the underlying science given in clear and simple language. It's not exhaustive, but it covers the essentials. Since many aspects of the climate system are interconnected, so are many of the chapters: some of the information in the book appears in some form in more than one chapter.
In order to be as credible as possible, we've taken great care to avoid bias. We acknowledge that some aspects of the problem can't yet be addressed with certainty. We also make clear what climate scientists do know with a high degree of confidence.
To ensure technical accuracy, each chapter has been carefully reviewed internally by Climate Central scientists and revised in response to their comments. The chapters have then been reviewed again by eminent outside scientists who have particular expertise in the relevant subject areas—and then, if necessary, revised again.
The result, we believe, is an accurate overview of the state of climate science as it exists today.
A final note: we can't promise that all sixth graders will understand every word of this book. But we've tried to keep the language as simple, straightforward, and jargon-free as possible. We hope you find it useful.


text: 1CEREA, Joint Laboratory École des Ponts ParisTech/EDF R&D, Université Paris-Est, 77455 Marne-la-Vallée, France 2Aix-Marseille Université, Laboratoire Chimie Environnement, 13331, Marseille cedex 03, France 3CNRS, FRE 3416, 13331, Marseille cedex 03, France 4LSCE, CNRS-CEA-UVSQ, Gif-sur-Yvette, France Abstract. A secondary organic aerosol (SOA) model, H2O (Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic Organic), is evaluated over the Paris area. This model treats the formation of SOA with two kinds of surrogate species: hydrophilic species (which condense preferentially on an aqueous phase) and hydrophobic species (which condense only on an organic phase). These surrogates species are formed from the oxidation in the atmosphere of volatile organic compounds (VOC) by radicals (HO and NO3) and ozone. These VOC are either biogenic (isoprene, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes) or anthropogenic (mainly aromatic compounds). This model includes the formation of aerosols from different precursors (biogenic precursors, aromatics), and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) from traffic. The H2O aerosol model was incorporated into the Polyphemus air quality modeling platform and applied to the Paris area and evaluated by comparison to measurements performed during the Megapoli campaign in July 2009. The comparison to measurements in the suburbs and in the city center of Paris shows that the model gives satisfactory results for both elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC). However, the model gives a peak of OC concentrations in the morning due to high emissions from traffic, which does not appear in measurements. Uncertainties in the modeled temperature, which can affect the gas-particle partitioning, in the partitioning of primary SVOC or underestimation of primary organic aerosol (POA) evaporation by the model could explain the differences between model and measurements. Moreover, using a theoretical mechanism for the oxidation of primary SVOC and intermediate volatility organic compounds (IVOC), POA concentrations were found to be likely overestimated by models due to the use of simple partitioning constants (which do not take into account the affinity of a compound with the liquid aerosol solution) or due to the assumption that the organic aerosol solution is a one-phase ideal solution. The organic aerosol in the city center of Paris was found to be originating mostly from distant sources with only 30 to 38% due to local sources.

Seattle was blasted into shape with cannons
The Jackson Street Regrade was the city's second-most-ambitious regrade after the razing of Denny Hill. It extended blocks south of what is still the neighborhood's principal throughway: Jackson Street.

ALTHOUGH NAMED for Jackson Street, the city's second-most-ambitious regrade after the razing of Denny Hill extended blocks south of what is still the neighborhood's principal throughway: Jackson Street. Nearly six miles of streets and about 56 city blocks were involved — 29 of them excavated and 27 filled in a "balance" of eroding and collecting.
Cannons were used to reshape the landscape by blasting it with saltwater sucked from Elliott Bay. This view of the work was taken from Weller Street, one of the regraders' early targets. The historical photographer looks northwest from near the corner of Eighth Avenue and Weller Street. The cannons are carving their way to lower grades at 12th Avenue and Jackson Street, respectively. Ultimately, with 85 feet cut from the ridge at 12th Avenue, the grade of Jackson Street was reduced from 15 percent to 5. The Weller Street statistics are similar.
The June 7, 1908, Seattle Post-Intelligencer described two "giants working on Eighth Avenue in the rear of the Catholic school property." The school was Holy Names Academy, originally a formidable landmark with a high central spire that opened on Seventh Avenue mid-block between Jackson and King streets, in 1884. On June 8, '08, the school's newest graduates, 11 of them, drew a large audience for their baccalaureate. Everyone understood that within a few days the water cannons would be turned directly at their campus and memories.
The building was razed, and parts of it salvaged, or so it would seem from the neatness of its dismantling as recorded here. The school was rebuilt with a new landmark dome on Capitol Hill, where it continues to serve an all-female student body.

Catlike Vacuum Helmet $169.95

Catlike Vacuum Helmet

John Meier
Versatile and comfortable helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I switch regularly between road and mountain riding and got this helmet to fulfill both functions, and have been using it for a few months at this point (luckily without any crash testing). As other reviews have mentioned, the straps can be a bit finicky to get settled initially, but after fiddling with them for a ride or two to get them set correctly, I stopped even noticing that I'm wearing the helmet anymore, which is exactly how it should be. Other than the under-ear strap clips, the other adjustment options were easy to customize to get the fit right as advertised. Ventilation has been great on both road and mountain rides in a variety of conditions. It's worth noting that the matte finish is starting to flake off slightly revealing gloss underneath just from everyday use and storage over a few months. Overall, I've been pleased with this helmet and would definitely consider purchasing it again when I'm up for a replacement.
OK Helmet. Very unique.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used this helmet for almost a year now. I like it and get comments about how unique it is all the time. It is light, fairly comfortable and ventilation is awesome. Couple other notes about the helmet:
- The strap clip where the straps come together below your ears are awful. I removed them and replaced them with my old rudy project ones that were much sturdier.
- The matte paint job is not actually matte paint. It is gloss covered by a matte film. The film comes off in tiny spots fairly easily from pulling in and out of my race bag.
- The big hole in the front makes scratching an itch on the front of your nogging pretty easy, but the rest of the vent design sucks for storing your sunglasses in the vents of your helmet, if you are into doing that.....

Catlike helmet is a really good helmet with al of the uses and safety protections of the more expensive helmets. Its design is functional and keeps the head cool, even in hot desert like conditions! No problems with this item. A good value for the price.

I like it!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I ended up with this helmet after trying a couple of other helmets.
It is super comfortable! The ventilation is awesome; if I turn my head, I can literally feel the wind blowing my hair. I love the fact that no one I ride with wears anything close.
The one issue is that the straps, while comfortable, are a pain to get set and never lie flat.
All in all, I'll be wearing it as long as I can and would probably get another if I had to replace it.

CAIRO (AP) - A temporary Israel-Hamas truce is holding for a second day today as marathon, indirect negotiations on a lasting cease-fire and a long-term solution for the battered Gaza Strip resume in Cairo.
There could be marathon discussions Tuesday.
Yesterday, a senior Israeli official suggested that the first day of talks had not gone well saying, "The gaps between the sides are big and there is no progress in the negotiations."
