Spaceships and flagships
A return visit to the Children's Museum of Holon, now celebrating its tenth anniversary, sparks ambivalent feelings, at least for this adult
A return visit to the Children's Museum of Holon, now celebrating its tenth anniversary, sparks ambivalent feelings, at least for this adult
Shortly after entering the train car that is part of the aliens exhibit at the Children's Museum in Holon, the youngsters began to pay rapt attention. They listened to the scary scenario the tour guide described for them, in which aliens had invaded Earth and taken over the car they were in - and for a brief moment did not question what they were being told. It seemed the young visitors, veteran "residents" of the kingdom of the imagination, simply immersed themselves in the experience. They watched with interest, albeit not real concern, as flashing lights lit up the spaces outside the windows and as other effects, reminiscent of those in a computer game or movie, took place around them. Meanwhile the guide explained that their train was being sucked up into a seething whirlpool of air while in the clutches of the enemy.
The heart beat may have increased a bit toward the end of the tour, when the visitors entered a device that resembled a space ship. According to the story presented, the spaceship was flying hurtling at an accelerated speed on its way to back to Earth, driven by a cute and somewhat scatter-brained alien, and meanwhile crashed into meteorites, icebergs and other obstacles with full force. Every time an imaginary object reached the window of the spaceship, the crashing and shaking were pretty convincing. The overly excited chatter of the guide, who was explaining what was happening, sort of like subtitles in a film, could have been done without. One participant described at the end of the flight a sense of pleasure and fear, "like at an amusement park."
But experience is one thing and lessons learned are another. First of all throughout the alien exhibit tour, which was enjoyable and carefully planned, there were activities that engaged the mind and also sparked the imagination quite a bit, but didactic presumptuousness dominated and threatened to ruin the fun. And a few minutes before the end of the tour, the guide gathered the children and explained again, in case they had forgotten, the "motto" of the exhibit. What was it and what were the children supposed to learn? In brief, that humans are afraid of aliens because we don't really know them; if we did, we wouldn't be afraid. The aliens are just a parable, of course, for beings who are different from us. Along the way, there were slogans displayed, such as "if you believe in yourself, you will succeed," "not everything is as it appears from the outside."
The feeling was that the children were being overwhelmed with unnecessarily with messages. The endearing guide established an excellent rapport with the youngsters and was a good actress. But if she had improvised a bit more, the whole ambience would have been less artificial.
Such is the ambivalence felt after a return visit to the Children's Museum, which is now celebrating its 10th anniversary. There is an abundance of creative thinking there as well as an understanding and appreciation of children and their world, plus the execution is excellent and the intentions are good. But it seems that the powers-that-be there don't trust the children and try to spoon-feed a social message to them. And that is a pity.
The Holon museum's didactic approach differs from museums aiming at a young audience, such as the Israel Museum's Youth Wing, the Science Museum in Jerusalem or the Madatech in Haifa. At the science museums in Jerusalem and Haifa, they try to broaden horizons and enlighten visitors about natural phenomena or give them some understanding of scientific phenomena, make them think and so on. At the Israel Museum's Youth Wing, they strive to develop an appreciation for art and to acquaint children with varied forms of artistic creation. Strictly educational sorts of messages are absent, and even foreign to them.
In addition, and perhaps this is the main difference, those facilities are living museums, which allow visitors to remain for a long time. The tours offered at the Children's Museum, however, last between an 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours, and it is advisable not to do two during the same visit.
Visiting a variety of exhibitions in no predetermined order at a museum prompts to think in different directions and presents different contexts. According to a professional person who works at a local children's museum, the preset route and background story used as part of the rotating exhibitions that are featured in the aliens tour are somewhat thin and limiting.
In 2000, the opening of the Children's Museum was an important phase in the positioning of Holon as a cultural center for the younger generation. Over the years, the museum has indeed managed to make waves, largely due to the exhibitions it hosts on its premises.
Social messages
Apart for the aliens tour, intended for children aged 8-12, there are two other tours, or actually exhibitions, at the museum, that have become flagship attractions. Both provide unique and unusual experiences: "Dialogue in the Dark" simulates what life is like for the blind, while "Invitation to Silence" causes the visitor to think about what it's like to be deaf - what life would be without a soundtrack, as it were.
The museum itself has changed direction in the wake of the former exhibit, and today markets itself as an institution that is devoted to social programming. Among other things, it employs over 30 blind individuals and a similar number of deaf people, and it is to be applauded for this. Gil Omer, the museum's director, says that it was Andreas Heinecke, a German philosopher and journalist, who came up with the idea for these two exhibits six years ago and attended a seminar at the museum.
"Dialogue in the Dark," an exhibit that is also featured in museums in other countries, has become something of a phenomenon at this museum: In the six years it has been on in Holon, over a half million visitors have seen it. Furthermore, adults also come to see it and "Invitation to Silence" as well - whether parents with their children, friends or employees whose companies send them there. Despite the favorable reviews and excellent feedback, it should be noted that visiting "Dialogue in the Dark" is not for everyone, however. Some people who are overwhelmed by the experience have apparently left in the middle.
However, the two exhibits are indeed helping to dispel some stigmas. Apparently, the sensory and emotional experience has the power to open new modes of thinking and feeling - much more than any written text or more standard appeal to the intelligence. In a survey conducted by the Ministry of Social Affairs services for the blind, it turned out that over 90 percent of visitors to the Holon museum's "Dialogue in the Dark" felt it favorably influenced attitudes toward the blind. One boy who recently visited "Invitation to Silence" asked the guide at the end of the tour, in all seriousness: "Is it fun to be deaf?"

Watch 11 Minutes of 'The Wolf of Wall Street' Behind the Scenes B-Roll
Posted on Friday, December 20th, 2013 by Russ Fischer
It's a few more days before everyone gets to see Martin Scorsese's wildly energetic new film The Wolf of Wall Street, but if you've taken in the trailers and still want to see more, here's over ten minutes of behind the scenes B-roll footage. The nature of the footage, as B-roll tends to be, is all "fly on the wall" sorta shots, rather than any incisive look at the filmmaking process. But a lot of this is Scorsese working with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, and a ton of extras, and it's fun to see rooms full of people come to life when "action!" is called. Read More »

Texas school board candidate wins election 1-0

Although county election rolls show 482 voters registered in District 1, school district spokesman Randy Ewing estimated the actual number is closer to 250.
LYTLE — The suspense had lifted Wednesday before Christina Mercado claimed an unequivocal victory in a Lytle Independent School District board race that had made headlines for its voter turnout of just one.
Patty Cortez, the other contender, who came out on the short end of the 1-0 vote, didn't show up for the meeting of the Early Voting Ballot Board, which rejected a sealed provisional ballot that might have tied the contest.
"I don't see the point in being there," said Cortez, who had a prior obligation, noting that word had circulated that the ballot would be disallowed because it was cast by someone who lived outside the single-member district whose board seat was at stake.
In a related development, the identity of "The Voter," as people here call the person who cast the lone legitimate ballot, will remain confidential, for now.
Mercado, cheerfully killing time with supporters and the media, resisted counting her chickens until the 75-minute closed-door meeting concluded with the board's announcement that ensured her election.
"I'm happy that it's cleared up and that I can move forward," said Mercado, 48, who like Cortez, lives outside District 1 and was therefore ineligible to vote in their race to succeed outgoing trustee Dan Booth.
Lytle ISD spokesman Derrick Adams had asserted Tuesday that he and other district officials were unaware what determination and recommendation to the ballot board a Medina County election official had made after researching the provisional ballot.
But school board President Nan Boyd confirmed Wednesday that she'd learned from Superintendent Michelle Carroll Smith that the ballot appeared headed for rejection.
An e-mail Smith sent to trustees at noon Tuesday about the provisional ballot said, in part, "the Medina County election clerk looked at it yesterday and determined it was not an eligible voter."
Randy Ewing, another Lytle ISD spokesman, said the district would seek an opinion from the Texas attorney general's office in response to open records requests for a list of voters in the District 1 contest, because the list only has one name on it.
"Obviously, under the circumstances of this matter, having the roster in question would reveal not just the identity of the voter, but how the voter voted," he said. "The district believes this would violate the sanctity of the secret ballot."
The final results in the District 1 contest will be canvassed by trustees Monday, as will the results in District 6, which saw Jesus Casiano Jr. beat JoAnn Flores 22-13 after the ballot board certified three additional votes.
Casiano said one factor in the low turnout was a lack of publicity by the district about the election. If people don't know there's an election, he reasoned, how can they be expected to vote?
Veronica Garcia, a Mercado supporter, sees the root problem as voter apathy, not a lack of awareness.
"Shame on our community for not turning out," said Garcia of the one-voter contest. "I've heard of one- horse towns, but this is ridiculous."

- Introduction
- Evolutionary origin and significance
- Chemical composition and physical properties
- Bone morphology
- Remodeling, growth, and development
- Physiology of bone
Nutritional influences
The most significant nutritional influence on bone is the availability of calcium. The close relationship between bone and calcium is indicated by the principal processes of calcium metabolism. Bone contains 99 percent of the calcium in the body and can behave as an adequate buffer for maintenance of a constant level of freely moving calcium in soft tissues, extracellular fluid, and blood. The free-calcium concentration in this pool must be kept within fairly narrow limits (50–65 mg per litre of extracellular fluid) to maintain the constant internal environment necessary for neuromuscular irritability, blood clotting, muscle contractility, and cardiac function. Calcium leaves the pool by way of bone formation, by such routes as the urine, feces, and sweat, and periodically by way of lactation and transplacental movement. Calcium enters the pool by the mechanism of bone resorption and by absorption from dietary calcium in the upper intestinal tract.
The significance with respect to bone of adequate availability of calcium to animals or humans is that the mechanical strength of bone is proportional to its mineral content. All of the other components of bone, organic and inorganic, are of course also essential for bone integrity, but the importance of availability of structural materials is most easily illustrated by consideration of calcium balance (dietary intake versus excretory output). If intake of calcium is limited, maintenance of normal levels of extracellular and soft tissue calcium in the face of mandatory daily losses from this pool by various excretory routes requires that calcium be mined from its storage depot, bone. Abundant mineral intake then tends to preserve bone mass, and an increase of positivity of calcium balance has been shown to suppress resorption of bone.
The Food and Nutrition Board of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences has recommended 1,000 to 2,000 mg of calcium daily for adults and 800 to 1,300 mg for children. The usual daily intake of calcium in the diet, however, is between 400 and 600 mg, about 150 to 250 mg from green vegetables and the remainder usually from milk and milk products. Daily urinary excretion of calcium is normally from 50 to 150 mg in females and 50 to 300 mg in males. Fecal excretion of calcium is much larger than urinary excretion; most of the calcium in the feces is unabsorbed dietary calcium. Heavy sweating can result in a loss of more than 200 mg per day. Calcium absorption varies depending on previous and current levels of calcium intake and type of diet. Approximately 30 percent of dietary calcium is absorbed when there is adequate vitamin D intake.
The other principal mineral constituent of bone is phosphorus, which is abundantly available in milk, meat, and other protein-rich foods. The recommended daily intake of phosphorus is 700 mg daily for adults, 1,250 mg daily for adolescents, and 500 mg daily for children up to age eight. A prolonged dietary deficiency in phosphorus or marked loss of phosphorus in the urine can result in mineral-poor bone, known as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. The skeleton also serves as a storage reservoir for magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can result in neuromuscular dysfunction similar to a calcium deficiency. Magnesium is critically important for the regulation of parathyroid hormone.
Fluoride, an element of proven value and safety in prevention of dental cavities when provided in drinking water at concentrations of one part per million, is absorbed into bone lattice structure as well as into enamel and produces a larger crystal more resistant to resorption. Amounts 10 or more times that normally taken in fluoridated drinking water have been noted to cause abnormalities of bone collagen synthesis. Extremely large dosages in humans produce the denser but irregularly structured and brittle bone of fluorosis.
The function of vitamin A remains to be clarified, but it is apparently necessary for proliferation of cartilage and bone growth. Without vitamin A, bone remodeling is also impaired and bones develop in abnormal shapes. Excessive amounts of the vitamin result in thinning of cortical bone and fracture.
Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is essential for intracellular formation of collagen and for hydroxylation of proline. In scurvy, a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency, the collagen matrix of bone is either partially or completely unable to calcify (see above Remodeling, growth, and development).
Vitamin D has several complex physiologic actions that affect calcium, phosphorus, and bone metabolism. A form of vitamin D called calcitrial increases the efficiency of intestinal calcium absorption and also interacts directly with osteoblasts to increase osteoblast function. At times when dietary calcium is inadequate, calcitrial will stimulate osteoblasts to increase osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF) on their surface, which in turn mobilizes osteoclast mesenchymal cells to become mature osteoclasts. Thus, the major function of vitamin D is to maintain serum levels of calcium by increasing absorption of dietary calcium in the intestine. At times of increased need, such as during pregnancy, lactation, and adolescent growth, circulating levels of calcitrial are increased, resulting in an increase of up to 80 percent in the efficiency of intestinal calcium absorption. In vitamin D deficiency, parathyroid hormone levels are elevated, causing an increased loss of phosphorus into the urine.
Other nutritional factors include protein, which, as an essential component of the matrix of bone, must be provided by a combination of dietary intake and conversion from other tissues. Changes in acid-base balance also have an influence on the skeleton—acidosis in various clinical disorders and ingestion of acid salts being accompanied by mineral loss.

Replacing 27 gallon fuel tank on 1973 Reinell 23ft Cabin Cruiser
We are going to buy a 1973 Reinell 23ft Cabin Cruiser this weekend. It does have a problem though. The fuel tank has a leak and rust. He says it needs to be repaired or replaced. We were looking into replacing it, but are unsure on the steps to take and the cost. First question is, what amount of funds are we looking at with us doing it verses a boat place doing it for us. This is our first boat and we don't know much about the fuel tank, so we are a bit nervous. We were told it's under the deck and we would have to tear up the deck to do it. Is this safe? Does it hurt the strength of the boat? Any suggestions for us before we purchase the boat?
Thank you so much,

Hello potential helpers...
I'm trying to add a second, separate search form in the sidebar (manually, no widgets). I coded it in a separate .php file, where it works perfectly. Yet when trying to load it in the sidebar via the
<?php include function, one certain Java function that I implemented in the search form php file doesn't seem to work correctly, making the form displaying wrong.
For the search form, which is radio button based, I use three different scripts:
1) the script to make the form behave like a search form:
<script type="text/javascript">
function dosearch() {
var sf=document.repaints_search_form;
for (i=sf.repaint_search_type.length-1; i > -1; i--) {
if (sf.repaint_search_type[i].checked) {
var submitto = sf.repaint_search_type[i].value + escape(sf.searchterms.value);
window.location.href = submitto;
return false;
2) The script to get the radio buttons marked when the label is clicked:
<script type="text/javascript">
function selectRadio(n){
and 3) (a.k.a. the culprit): the script to have the labels colored, depending on whether the corresponding radio button is checked or not:
<script type="text/javascript">
function setOn()
var theRadios = document.getElementsByName('repaint_search_type');
for(var i = 0; i < theRadios.length; i++)
theRadios[i].parentNode.className = 'off'; //Sets all spans class name to off
theRadios[i].onclick = function() //assigns a function to the onclick event of the radios
if(theRadios[i].checked == 1) //if the radio button is checked then it will give the span that its in a class name of on
theRadios[i].parentNode.className = 'on';
onload = setOn;
I'm fairly certain it's the third script that doesn't work well in the sidebar. I got it from here (third post), and as you can see in the search form php-file, it works perfectly by itself, in a single php file (that's why I made the radio buttons
display:none, so don't wonder why they're not shown). The script works by changing the label class from "off" to "on" when the radio button is checked, and back to "off" when another one is checked. But when implemented in the sidebar, it seems the label classes are not changed upon clicking, so my conclusion would be the problem is the third script.
The CSS looks like this: http://pastebin.com/f39b6fb07
The actual form looks like this: http://pastebin.com/f4ed92849
The form implemented in the sidebar (i.e. not displaying properly): http://the-fruit-stand.bplaced.net/tfs/ ("repaints search" section)
Any idea what might be wrong? I already concluded it's not a CSS hierarchy problem (turned of the theme's style.css, to no avail).
Many thanks in advance.
Edit: WP version is 2.8.6, not 2.8.5 - I must have misclicked.

Hahn-Groeber Funeral Homes are for family. We believe and hold true to the idea that every family we serve should be treated just as if we were caring for our own family member. Our dedication to fulfilling the wishes of family is what sets us apart. With dignity and respect for those we serve, our family believes in providing unparalleled service with sincerity.
Hahn Funeral Home's history dates back to 1931 and it has been family owned and operated since that time. With Gary Hahn's arrival in 1965, the Hahn Funeral Home began decades of local, quality funeral service. In 2005, Richard "Rich" and Donna Groeber purchased the Hahn-Groeber Funeral Homes of Lafayette, Linden and Oxford. With this change in ownership, the funeral home's name was also changed to Hahn-Groeber Funeral Homes.
"This will allow families to recognize the Hahn name which has been trusted and respected in the communities for decades, yet the name will also represent the Groeber name as I have served many families in the area for a long time," explained Rich. "My wife and I feel very honored that Gary and Barbara Hahn felt that we would continue with their tradition of excellent service to the communities and families they serve." We look forward to serving you, our friends and neighbors, for years to come.
We pride ourselves on always being one of the most reasonably priced funeral homes in the area, although many expect our charges to be much higher given the level of professionalism, quality of facilities and ethical standards. Consumers and families finally can learn first hand that there is a difference and families needn't fall into the trap of traditional loyalty many funeral homes attempt to count on. Today, being good is not good enough.

Action taken following complaints of increased mosquito menace from residents living near rivers
In an attempt at battling the menace caused by mosquitoes, the Water Resources Department (WRD) has started daily dredging of the mouths of the Cooum and Adyar rivers.
For the past few days, residents of Adyar and Besant Nagar have complained about the rise in mosquito problems in their areas. Similar complaints were raised by people living close to the Cooum in areas such as Triplicane and Chetpet.
In response to the complaints, two machines have been engaged to remove sand blocking the Adyar river mouth. Normally, the department cleans the mouths of both the Cooum and Adyar river at frequent intervals. But now, sand is being removed every day in light of the complaints, officials of WRD said.
An official said the Adyar river mouth would be opened up to a width of 100 metres to facilitate entry of sea water into the river. So far, the river mouth has been dredged and cleared to a width of 60 metres. "If left uncleared for two days, sand would get deposited for a depth of two metres at the river mouth," he said. The impact of the dredging will be felt for a distance of two km up to Thiru.Vi.Ka. bridge.
Both Cooum and Adyar rivers do not have much flow owing to lack of rainfall last year. Regular dredging at the river mouths would help better tidal wave action and drain river water into the sea, the official added.
At the Cooum, dredging has helped open up the mouth to a width of 80 metres. "We are planning to keep it open up to 180 metres. Each wave deposits up to half an inch of sand at the river mouth," said an official. The operation would ensure that tidal wave action has an impact up to three km of the river.
Unlike the previous years, when the sand extracted was conveyed to be used for various projects, the sand cleared from the mouths is being levelled close by. "We are unable to keep track and ensure the sand is being transported to the project sites. Environmental clearances are also needed," an official said.

23/M - Someone to chat with at the end of the day (self.SkypePals)
submitted 2 years ago by Roben9
Looking for someone to chat with at the end of the day. Someone that can vent to me and I can vent to them, someone to share the triumphs of your day with, so on and so forth, etc etc.
I like the idea of knowing someone through conversation so the prerequisite bullshit of asking what each other likes as far as bands and books isn't necessary. No other prerequisites are needed, just be someone who'd like to talk about their day to an utter stranger.
PM and I'll send you my Skype.

Over the 12 day trip, he had multiple experiences which led him to have a different perspective and understanding of this mysterious being. Joe researchs much off the grid and is an avid hiker, backpacker and bicyclist. In September 2012, Joe started a Facebook group called Bigfoot Sightings Anonymous. Joe has worked with fellow researchers William Evans and Freeman Young.

Fred Gallo, PhD and Compassionate Mindfulness Tapping
in Self Help
Transformational Dialogue Radio host Craig Weiner, DC, interviews Fred Gallo PhD and together they explore how two of the fastest growing approaches for emotional and behavioral change are working synergistically.
Energy Psychology and Mindfulness stem from ancient concepts and practices that have been recently scientifically validated for their therapeutic benefits. Mindful Energy Psychology (MEP) is Dr. Fred Gallo's answer to an integration of these powerful approaches to alleviate human suffering. Energy Psychology (EP) approaches generally focus on eliminating a psychological problem by addressing energetic substrates; whereas, mindfulness traditionally focuses on consciousness, observation and acceptance, without an aim to eliminate anything. While the two approaches might be seen as diametrically opposed, reciprocal synergy emerges from an integration, such that EP is deepened via a mindfulness attitude and practices, and mindfulness benefits are accelerated through EP.
Craig Weiner, DC is the host of Transformational Dialogues and EFT trainer at www.EFTtappingtraining.com
Fred P. Gallo, Ph.D., DCEP is a clinical psychologist, therapist, consultant, researcher, author, and the professional who coined the term Energy Psychology. He's published 8 books, numerous journal articles, book chapters & training manuals. Among his books are Energy Psychology & Energy Tapping for Trauma. Since 1980 he's been training professionals on various therapeutic approaches, including his Energy Diagnostic and Treatment Methods, Energy Consciousness Therapy, and The Identity Method. www.energypsych.com

The research focus is on the geological-geophysical survey of the ocean floor and the margins of the ocean basins. The core topics include processes of formation, development, alteration and subduction of the oceanic lithosphere and the associated effects on the environment, for example on the climate and the emergence of natural hazards.
These research topics are addressed in three geotectonic areas:
- Divergent plate margins: Formation of the ocean floor and the ocean basins
- Convergent plate margins: the subduction engine
- Tectonic and magmatic processes in the intraplate zone: Conversion of oceanic plates
Significant research emphasis is placed on:
- Marine natural hazards: earthquakes, volcanoes, slope stability, submarine landslides, and tsunamis
- Seafloor resources: Gas hydrates and polymetallic massive sulphides
- Introduction of volatiles into the atmosphere and hydrosphere

By JADE CHANPhotos by AZMAN GHANI and SIA HONG KIAU
HUGS, smiles, tears, joyous exclamations, information exchanges and clicking cameras were aplenty at the biggest Bukit Bintang Girls' School (BBGS) reunion that also marked the launch of the Elena Cooke Education Fund.
The event, organised by the BBGS Old Girls' Association, was held at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, where the premier school once stood.
The Elena Cooke Education Fund, established under the auspices of the BBGS Old Girls' Association, is named in honour of Elena Maud Cooke, who was BBGS headmistress from 1958 to 1977.
The fund was set up with the aim of meeting the educational needs of poor children, with priority to children and kin of ex-students of BBGS and SMK Seri Bintang Utara, with no preference for race or religion.
BBGS was founded over a hundred years ago for the education of women in the country, and especially those who could not afford it.
The fund was initiated based on the same ethos of providing education for those who cannot afford to do so.
It is named after Cooke as a tribute to the last of the pioneering headmistresses, who embodies all the values and spirit of BBGS and all the headmistresses before.
She made a lasting impression as a teacher, headmistress, mentor, adviser and role model to the teachers and all BBGS girls during her tenure and even after she retired.
The reunion was attended by the guest- of-honour Cooke, along with former students, teachers and school staff members.
Those present at the launch were treated to a choir performance of their school song, a choral-speaking presentation in tribute of the school's achievements in that field, and a showcase entitled Timeless Traditions that featured the early pioneers of BBGS.
Former headmistress Moey Yoke Lai gave a touching speech about what BBGS had implanted in their hearts.
"BBGS taught us to hold high all that is noble, pure, good and kind – the cardinals of love and truth.
"The BBGS motto states Nisi Dominus Frustra – Without God, All is in Vain. I believe that with God, all is possible and I'm sure the launch of the fund will see great success."
She spoke of what Cooke had imparted to every one, and her belief that every one is equal and has something intrinsic to offer to society.
"Through the fund, I hope that we can give something back to society, and see more children receive access to education," Moey said.
She revealed that the elders of the Jalan Imbi Chapel, the church that was responsible for building BBGS, would be contributing RM10,000 to the fund.
Pavilion Kuala Lumpur also donated RM10,000, while Shelter Home became the first beneficiary of the fund when it received RM10,000.
The event also marked the first time that the alumni were gathering at the location where their alma mater used to stand, following the closure of the school in 2001 and its subsequent relocation to Cheras as SMK Seri Bintang Utara.
Event emcee Norina Yahya, who graduated from BBGS in 1980, had the crowd walking down memory lane as she regaled them with anecdotes of activities during their school days and values they had learnt.
"There was a certain team spirit and friendly competition among the girls as we worked to contribute points to our respective houses that were named after five headmistresses – Cooke, Prouse, Shirtliff, Green and Maclay.
"The school's spirit, values and traditions still live on in all of us. It was what we learnt and was instilled in us that made us rounded individuals," said the law graduate who has dabbled in the arts and media industries.
Among the notable BBGS graduates
are celebrity Datuk Yasmin Yusuff, ntv7 CEO Suridah Jalaluddin, Cilla Model Agency founder Cilla Foong, Pulitzer prize winner Fong Foong Mei, ntv7 newscaster Ras Adiba Radzi, TV3 newscaster Praevitriana Yuliaratnam, singer/songwriter Juwita Suwito, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia English professor Prof Dr Lee Su Kim, RAPR Mileage Communication managing director Datuk Nancy Yeoh, and Helping Angels founder Poesy Liang.
Proceeds from limited edition souvenirs that were sold at the event went to the fund.
The BBGS alumni will also be organising various events and activities to raise RM500,000 for the fund within the next two or three years.

Luke Christopher - Statues
Artist: Luke Christopher
Producer: Luke Christopher
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 3 votes )
I'm a die-hard hip-hop head, but I would be lying if I said I didn't seriously love me some Regina Spektor. Well, on Statues Luke Christopher puts his spin on one of Regina's most recognizable bangers, Us. A bold choice, but I am happy to report that Mr. Christopher knocked it out of the park. Over his upbeat, poppy production, which samples the aforementioned Us, the LA native spits more than a few lady-killing bars. Proposing questions to a certain "special" friend like, "How you love Beyoncé but never heard of Aaliyah?", Christopher perfectly complements the beat with his clever wordplay and simple, yet exuberant flow. He even does a little bit of harmonizing with Ms. Spektor for good measure. Statues will appear on a currently-untitled, forthcoming mixtape, which lacks an official release date.

GM Martin Mayhew feeling the heat after Lions' 4-12 season
Entering the 2012 season, the Detroit Lions were a chic pick to contend for the Super Bowl following their first playoff berth in more than a dozen seasons.
Beset, though, by injuries at running back and wide receiver, as well as an inability to generate turnovers the Lions struggled to a 4-12 finish. Now, general manager Martin Mayhew is feeling the heat as he prepares for his fifth season at the helm.
"When you win four games, you better have a sense of urgency about it," Mayhew told MLive.com. "Certainly, I had a great sense of urgency about this offseason, but I wouldn't categorize it as not having a great sense of urgency in the previous offseasons. I just think we came into it with a great sense of urgency about getting better."
The Lions have been active in free agency with the signings of former Dolphins running back Reggie Bush, former Texans safety Glover Quin and Seahawks defensive end Jason Jones. Detroit also lost defensive end Cliff Avril and offensive tackle Gosder Cherilus to the Seahawks and Colts respectively, but gained salary-cap flexibility with their departures.
Wide receiver Nate Burleson, who missed most of last season with a broken leg, is intrigued about the addition of Bush. In an interview with NFL AM earlier this month, Burleson said Bush's presence could provide the Lions' offense with an explosiveness that diminished when Jahvid Best was sidelined by injury.
"I think a lot of Lions' fans remember when we had Jahvid and how explosive we were as an offense," Burleson told NFL AM. "He was that guy that could take a screen play, a pitch play and could go 80 yards. Reggie brings that same type of speed, that same type of explosiveness."
Bush will play behind an offensive line in transition. The Lions could have as many as three new starters on the line after Cherilus' signing with the Colts and the release of veteran right guard Stephen Peterman. Mayhew said during the NFL Scouting Combine that linemen Riley Reiff and Jason Fox have the ability to become starters.
Detroit could also target a franchise left tackle in the first round of the NFL Draft to replace 12-year veteran Jeff Backus. There are currently three offensive tackles projected in the top 7 in CBSSports.com's latest Draft projections, including Texas A&M tackle Luke Joeckel at No. 1 and Central Michigan tackle Eric Fisher at No. 3.

11 hurt in another EDSA bus collision
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Eleven people were injured when two buses figured in an accident along EDSA in Makati City early Monday, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said.
Laila Marcelo of MMDA-Metrobase said the incident transpired at the southbound lane of EDSA in Estrella, Makati City around 7 a.m., involving a Roval Bus and Golden Bee bus.
Marcelo said the wounded victims were taken to Ospital ng Makati.
A radio report quoted Roval bus driver Paulo Eduardo Sitchon as saying that the Golden Bee bus he was tailing suddenly stopped, causing him to hit its rear portion.
But Golden Bee bus driver Sonny Borja said he was dropping off his passengers when he was suddenly hit by the Roval bus.
Marcelo said the vehicles were taken off the area just few minutes after the incident, but the radio report said it still affected the flow of traffic in the area.

Someone Stole Lisa Congdon's Art And She's Pissed (She Should Be)
"In the world of art & illustration, you can use the artwork of artists on your products as long as you ask permission, sign a licensing agreement with the artist, and agree to compensate them. I sell my images to companies all the time, companies who ask my permission and compensate me for my intellectual property. In this case, I was never contacted, asked permission or paid. That is called copying. It's also called stealing."
Assigning Value to Art, Music, and Reality TV
How do we decide, as a capitalist society, what creative expression is worth? How do we stick a price tag on a painting, an experience, or an object like a urinal that someone (okay, Marcel Duchamp) has declared to be, by virtue of its placement and his intention, art? My distant cousin Harold Shapinsky spent his life holed up in an garret apartment splashing paint on canvas without any support from market forces until he reached 60 years old, at which point he finally broke through. When society told him his paintings were worth something, they confirmed what he himself already knew, but at that point he had spent the bulk of his life struggling; being an unacknowledged artist had defined him from the age of 15.
Reality TV and rock-and-roll are very different genres from highbrow visual art, but they too live and die according to the whims of the market. Slate put up a list recently of what different bands earn for a performance. The results are so disparate as to seem almost random. Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake both make $1 million+ per show, while Ke$ha, despite that dollar sign in her name, tops out at less than a quarter of that. Lorde pulls in slightly more than Ke$ha, and, though Bon Jovi also nabs a cool $1 million, Bob Dylan commands only slightly more than Lorde. Backlash to those sell-out Victoria Secret commercials, perhaps?
It Takes Three Generations to Produce an Artist
Donkeys in Detroit? DNC Considers Motor City for 2016
The Democratic National Committee asked fifteen cities to submit proposals to host its 2016 convention, and among the obvious contenders one is raising eyebrows: Detroit, Mich.
Conventions bring more than passionate partisans in funny hats. When delegates descend, they bring with them millions of dollars in revenue. (And occasionally some really awful pick up lines. A GOP delegate in New York tried to get me excited by saying, "Ester? That's an old-fashioned name. I like old-fashioned women.") Sometimes they revitalize the local sex industry! It can be a big deal to a struggling metropolis.

1943 romantic comedy starring John Wayne and Jean Arthur< read all 2 reviews
Molly Trousdale (Jean Arthur) is a big city girl with an awful lot going for her. She evidently had a pretty good job and three guys (Malcom, Greg and Bob) vying for her affections. But for Molly something is definitely missing. Maybe that is why she has decided to embark on a two week vacation out West. The poster at the bus station in her hometown of New York City promises "Romance and Adventure: 14 Breathless Days In the West". And all for only $137.50. Perhaps Molly thought that a change of scenery would do her some good. But Molly Trousdale would get a whole lot more than she ever bargained for on this trip. "A Lady Takes A Chance" is producer Frank Ross' (Jean Arthur's husband at the time) relatively obscure 1943 film that also stars John Wayne in a most unusual role as cowboy bachelor Duke Hutkins. This is a flick I had never even heard of until i came across it online just a few weeks ago.
One of the stops on Molly's itinerary is a Championship rodeo. She is quite taken by the sights and sounds of this event and is determined to get some great photos of her experience to share with the folks back home. As she prepares to snap her next photo her subject is abruptly thrown from his animal and lands in the stands right on top of Molly! A more unusual introduction you will never see and hilarious to boot! Duke asks if the young lady is OK then tips his hat and jumps back into the ring. But when the competition is over Molly goes out of her way to find Duke and asks him for his autograph as another momento of her trip. He is more than happy to oblige and it quickly becomes apparent that Duke is quite smitten by the charming young lady from back East. He had never met anyone quite like her. Furthermore, it also becomes clear that the feeling is mutual when Duke asks Molly out for a drink and she confides "nothing like this was included in my all expenses paid package." But Molly will quickly learn that Duke could be a handful. He is a confirmed bachelor and a man used to having his own way with the ladies. Molly was having none of it. Furthermore, Duke lies about the time and causes Molly to miss her tour bus. It would appear that the two of them would have nothing more to discuss..
But the simple fact of the matter was that Molly was a single girl in a strange town. She had very few options open to her. If she was lucky she could catch up with her bus for the return trip to New York in about a week. Molly does her best to avoid Duke but it seems that destiny has other ideas. She winds up hitching a ride with Duke and his trusty old sidekick Waco (Charles Winninger). They are headed for a town called Gold City when they are forced to bed down for the night in the middle of the desert. This would be an entirely new experience for the clueless city girl and when she got cold Molly steals the blanket off the back of Duke's beloved horse Sammy. When the sun rose the next morning it was clear that Sammy was very sick and if pneumonia had set in he would have to be put down. It would be touch and go all day long at the vets but the incident had a profound effect on Molly. She tells Waco "He is the most unusual fella I have ever met. He certainly is the right fella for the right girl. Any fella who can love a horse can love a girl." Now Molly puts on a full court press to win her man. She invites him to her cabin and cooks him a great dinner. Everything is perfect and I was certain she was going to seal the deal. But unfortunately this evening will not end the way Molly had hoped. Still one gets the feeling that it is only a matter of time..........
So there you have it. "A Lady Takes A Chance" is a romantic comedy with a definite western flair. There is magnificent chemistry between John Wayne and Jean Arthur that I simply never would have expected. I am a huge Jean Arthur fan and she was great but John Wayne reveals a side of him in this film that I have never seen before. I purchased this film a couple of weeks ago and have already watched it three times. It is an unexpected treat. Highly recommended!

How to survive the Dakar
A beginners guide to spectating at the world's most demanding endurance competition
Posted: 22 Jan 2014
We're 'making progress'. Overtaking the race cars which are penalized if they break the speed limit. "Ooh-er", I say (that's how his name is pronounced apparently), "how much fuel have we got?"
"Er, four bars", comes the reply
"What's the range?"
Three of us crane over the driver with recommendations of how to make the trip computer work.
I start stabbing at the Garmin. There's a fuel station in 60km. Phew
It's in completely the wrong direction. Back where we came from. More stabbing. The next one in this direction is 230km...
Silence descends.
We've given up asking Uwe to slow down and conserve fuel. He doesn't seem capable of it. Nerves are fraying and the sun is only just up. There's a town called Beazley up ahead. It is the only town on our route.
Crowds of people surround the only junction in town. The Dakar is a national event here - everyone comes out for it. Many dress up for the occasion. We search out the only policeman, but as we slow the whole crowd surrounds us, eager to get close to anything that has a hint of Dakar about it.
We have three languages on board. None of them is Spanish and we're in rural Argentina. We go with English. "Petrol?" Quizzical looks. Amazing how it took at least 30 seconds of random words before any of us thought to get out of the car and gesture at the fuel flap... "Ah, nafta" cheers the crowd and as one they look back to where we've come from. Oh God...

My bird likes the rough surface- great for keeping toenails short. I like the easy wingnut installation and the varied diameter. If you suspend your cage from above you will want to buy a couple to balance out their weight!
Pros: easy install, rough surface, varied contour
Cons: heavy

This perch is a good addition to wooden ones. It does allow birds to sit on some different material. My birds like to scratch their beaks on it, but like the the sand perches, it does nothing for their nails.
Pros: varied, different
Cons: can be too rough

Used these last night on a crew climbing a 150 ft. trad route in the Red, and they worked like a charm. Held up nicely, got compliments on them, and they are very light. Lock action feels, and more importantly is, solid. Use them everyday if not on a wall.

In the News: Memphis Grizzlies open draft workouts Monday
Griz open draft workouts Monday
The Grizzlies plan to take a long look at adding outside shooting during the June 28 NBA draft, and their scouting staff is said to feel strongly about Vanderbilt sharpshooter John Jenkins. So it should come as no surprise that Jenkins will highlight the Grizzlies' first pre-draft workout Monday in FedExForum.
Memphis owns the 25th overall pick in the first round. Jenkins, a 6-4 guard, led the SEC in scoring the past two seasons and shot 44 percent from three-point range during the 2011-12 campaign.
His workout partners will include other shooting guards in Kentucky's 6-4 Doron Lamb and Kansas' Tyshawn Taylor, and point guards Dee Bost of Mississippi State, Tu Holloway of Xavier and Scoop Jardine of Syracuse.
University of Memphis guard Will Barton heads the list of draft candidates scheduled to audition for the Griz on Tuesday. That session is also expected to feature shooting guards Kim English (Missouri), Bradford Burgess (Virginia Commonwealth), and point guard Casper Ware (Long Beach State).
The Griz are expected to work out as many as 25 prospects, including Royce White (Iowa State), Draymond Green (Michigan State), Jae Crowder (Marquette), Will Buford (Ohio State), Darius Miller (Kentucky), Evan Fournier (France), Andrew Nicholson (St. Bonaventure), Kevin Jones (West Virginia), Tony Wroten (Washington), Jared Cunningham (Oregon State), Quincy Acy (Baylor) and Jeff Taylor (Vanderbilt).
Devils stave off elimination
Bryce Salvador scored on a deflection off a defenseman and the host New Jersey Devils derailed Los Angeles' Stanley Cup coronation for a second time, beating the Kings 2-1 in Game 5 of the finals Saturday night.
Zach Parise ended a five-game goal drought on a rare mistake by goalie Jonathan Quick, and Martin Brodeur stopped 25 shots to help the Devils end the Kings' 10-game postseason winning streak on the road and 12-game run over the past two years, both NHL records.
Justin Williams scored for the Kings, whose once seemingly insurmountable 3-0 series lead has been cut to 3-2. Game 6 is Monday night in Los Angeles.
This is the first time the Kings have lost consecutive games this postseason, and the Devils are halfway up a mountain that only one other NHL team has climbed in the finals after losing the first three games.
Only the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs came back in a best-of-seven finals and won. Three years later, the Detroit Red Wings rallied from a 3-0 deficit to tie the series, but they lost Game 7 to Toronto.
Maya Moore scored 26 points and visiting Minnesota beat the winless Tulsa Shock 93-73 as the Lynx tied the WNBA record with their ninth straight win to open the season. The Lynx matched the 2001 and 2003 Los Angeles Sparks for most victories to start a season. Jennifer Lacy had 15 points, all in the first half, for the Shock. ... Danielle Adams scored 13 points in a reserve role to help the host San Antonio Silver Stars beat the Seattle Storm 80-67. Shekinna Stricklen led Seattle (1-6) with 14 points.
Ole Miss junior Isiah Young raced to a fourth-place finish in the 200-meter run on the last day of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa. Young's result gave Ole Miss five points, and the Rebel men finished the meet in 38th place with 7.5 points. Hernando's Ricky Robertson scored 2.5 points earlier in the meet with a tie for sixth in the high jump. The LSU women and Florida men took home national titles. The Gators finally took home their first outdoor national title after four second-place finishes since 2004, while the LSU women won their 15th in 31 years. The Southeastern Conference sweep snapped a three-year title run by the women and men of Texas A&M -- and the Aggies join the league next fall.
The University of North Carolina wants a professor at the center of an academic fraud probe to repay thousands of dollars for teaching a course inappropriately. UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Holden Thorp told trustees Friday that Julius Nyang'oro was asked to repay $12,000 for teaching a 2011 summer course as an independent study rather than a lecture. Nyang'oro resigned in August as chairman of the school's African and Afro-American Studies program, which was at the center of an investigation into academic fraud involving Tar Heel football players.
Big Ben's going to be a big daddy. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and wife Ashley are expecting a son this year. Roethlisberger released the news on his website Saturday afternoon. Roethlisberger posted: "It is truly a blessing and we are so excited!" The Roethlisbergers were married just over a year ago in a small enclave north of Pittsburgh.
John Orozco rallied to win the U.S. men's gymnastics championships Saturday in St. Louis, edging defending champ Danell Leyva on the last rotation to give the Americans a potent one-two punch at next month's London Olympics. The 19-year-old from the Bronx trailed Leyva by two points with two events to go before putting together a pair of spectacular routines on high bar and floor exercise to lift the three-time U.S. junior champion to victory. Orozco finished with a two-round total of 184.850, barely ahead of Leyva's 184.800.
Mario Gomez made a surprise start and headed in the lone goal for Germany on Saturday in a 1-0 victory over Portugal in Group B of the European Championship. Gomez was moments from being removed for Miroslav Klose, who was already waiting on the touchline, when he rose to knock in a deflected cross from Sami Khedira in the 72nd minute. ... Denmark secured the first huge surprise of the European Championship with a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands on Saturday in Group B. Michael Krohn-Dehli scored against the run of play when he picked up a loose ball close to the penalty area in the 24th minute, left two defenders standing and shot through the legs of Maarten Stekelenburg from a tight angle. ... Lionel Messi scored on three dazzling runs for his second international hat trick, finishing the season with a record 82 goals for club and country and giving Argentina to a 4-3 win over South American rival Brazil in an exhibition game Saturday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Gas price rollbacks on Monday
MANILA, Philippines – The oil companies announced a substantial drop in gasoline prices effective Monday with smaller rollbacks for diesel and kerosene in the wake of a stronger peso and easing market jitters over the war in Syria.
Petron and Shell were to push back pump prices for gasoline by P1.60 per liter (including VAT) effective one stroke after midnight on Sunday or early Monday. Diesel and kerosene prices were to fall at more modest rates of P0.80 per liter and P0.85 per liter, respectively.
Although other companies had not made any announcements as of Saturday, they tend to track each other's prices.
With Monday's price cuts, the year-to-date net increase in gasoline would be be P1.94 per liter while that of diesel would be P3.28 per liter.
International oil prices fell in the wake of US-Russia meetings in Geneva on the prospects of Syria giving up its chemical weapons and having a transitional government. That and a stronger peso (which hit a one-month high on September 11) suggested prices may soften in the Philippines since nearly all of the country's fuel products are imported.
The local currency closed Friday at P43.86 against the US dollar, a slight gain from P43.89 on Thursday.
However, oil prices did not plunge drastically in light of the lower output from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, whose supplies averaged 30.32 million barrels per day in August, down from a revised 30.50 million barrels per day in the previous month, according to the Department of Energy's Oil Monitor.
Also holding up prices were upward revisions in Japan's second-quarter growth data and a surprise surge in Chinese factory output in August, boosting hopes of economic recovery in the world's No. 2 economy after the U.S., which continued to stoke oil demand.
The Oil Monitor also said that Russian President Vladimir Putin's continued support of Syria and news that the U.S. Federal Reserve would keep its economic stimulus measures in place longer than expected pushed prices up in the previous week.
In the Asian market, Platts said the region's gasoline may "find support" from US benchmark gasoline prices although regional fuel prices had been stable to bearish in previous weeks.
Syria is not a major source of crude oil but its proximity to—and relations with— major oil producers such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Kuwait make it a market to watch for fuel traders. Syria is also strategically located in a region which pumps more than a third of the world's oil supply. The Bay of Iskenderun in Turkey, which is near the border with Syria, is a major export route for crude from Iraq and Azerbaijan.

Re: Cooperative gaming 2.0
Sounds interesting, but you wouldn't see me buying anything like that until they:
1) worked out all the problems
2) made it affordable through competition
Re: Cooperative gaming 2.0
Just give it a few years...
You'll need very fast refresh and no ghosting for such an idea to work, but it may be the best use of shutter glasses people have thought so far. No more fighting for the remote, just display 2 different shows at once! of course, you'll need headphones for that to work ;)
Re: Cooperative gaming 2.0
I actually had this idea years ago, but it wasn't for coop gaming. My idea would be more for watching different things entirely on the TV. Just add headphones to the glasses and bam, you got dads watching pron on the same TV as the kids watching Spongebob.

A witness saw the 15-year-old Franklin High School student displaying the handgun to a group of people at the Burger King on Southeast Foster Road and Powell Boulevard around noon, according to Sgt. Pete Simpson of Portland police.
After learning the names of the students, police contacted the school. The boys were called to the school s office and officials found a loaded handgun in a student s pocket.
One of the students stole his parents handgun and brought it to school. He planned to use it to demand his money back from the alleged drug dealer, Simpson said.
The 14-year-old boy gave the gun to a 15-year-old student at the Burger King. Both students were arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm.
