EDC developed Impact Mathematics, a middle school mathematics curriculum that includes a full year of algebra by the end of grade 8. Based on Access to Algebra, materials developed in Australia, the curriculum is rooted in principles of active learning and includes geometry, statistics, probability, and algebra. A teacher's guide provides classroom strategies and information about the historical background of the mathematics.
EDC and the Concord Consortium collaborated to develop "web-labs": online genetics applications designed for middle and high school students. The project supports teachers' use of the software by customizing it to teach specific genetics concepts and content. Project staff also developed teachers guides and other support materials.
This project is designing, producing, and pilot- and field- testing three modules to add to a K-6 professional-development curriculum called Developing Mathematical Ideas. The new modules cover the topics of geometry, measurement, and data analysis and help teachers both learn the mathematics content for themselves and explore how children approach it.
In collaboration with the National Institute of Out-of-School Time (NIOST), EDC's Center for Science Education worked with six science centers around the country to introduce design-engineering activities into afterschool programming. CSE developed the curricula for the engineering projects; NIOST provided technical support for their implementation. Through monthly workshops, science centers introduced the curricula to program leaders of participating community agencies.
This project developed Web-based materials to support the national America Counts initiative, in particular, mathematics materials for use in mentoring K–9 students. Also developed were training materials—both print and video—to support coordinators of mentoring programs.
CSE is developing Explore It!, an out-of-school curriculum in which children explore familiar phenomena in an extended manner using simple materials to foster science learning. These investigations will provide an experiential foundation for the development of concepts aligned with the national standards addressed in formal school curricula.
CSE and the EcoTarium in Worcester, Mass., are developing a set of CD-ROM videos about investigations of pond organisms.
This project has produced a high school curriculum that integrates academic (biology) and technical (biotechnology) education to create opportunities for all students to progress to higher education and to enter the high-skilled workforce. EDC works with education and industry advisors to ensure that the curriculum meets these goals. In this phase, we field-tested, evaluated, and revised two units, Microbe Detectives: Solving a Medical Mystery and A Genetic Puzzle: The Search for a Solution.
NEIR*TEC helps state and local educational leaders address the many challenges involved in using technology effectively, emphasizing the needs of schools in underserved urban and rural communities. NEIR*TEC, one of 10 regional technology-in-education consortia, serves the six New England states, New York, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
Building on the work of EDC's Addressing Accessibility in Middle School Mathematics, this project designs and implements a professional development model and materials that enable mathematics and special education teachers to successfully support students with disabilities in regular mathematics classrooms. The model includes workshops, example lesson adaptations, and school-based study groups. Project staff work with schools that use standards-based middle school mathematics curricula.
dot-EDU was an information and communication technology (ICT) intervention mechanism for USAID Missions seeking to improve education systems in their respective countries. dot-EDU sought to assist developing countries in strengthening learning systems that improve quality, expand access, and enhance equity through carefully planned applications of digital and broadcast technologies. The dot-EDU mission had two foci. First, dot-EDU provided training and technical assistance to support USAID Missions in developing and implementing technology-assisted applications.
EDC's Gender, Diversities, and Technology Institute works at the intersection of gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability, culture, and sexual orientation seeking to understand how technology can support the development of democracy and human rights. Projects focus on increasing participation in and distributing ownership of the "new knowledge society" brought about by emerging technologies.
Through the Education Quality for All (EQUALL) project, EDC and our partner organizations implement activities designed to strengthen the quality and expand the coverage of complementary education in Ghana, and to create stronger linkages between nonformal and formal basic education programs. This effort will result in increased access to basic education for children—especially girls—who have not had the opportunity for schooling due to social, occupational, cultural, or other reasons; and in increased learning outcomes among participating children.
The MathScape: Seeing and Thinking Mathematically Curriculum Center provides support to school districts using the MathScape curriculum. The center offers training institutes and workshops, hosts a Web site offering online support, develops implementation materials, and disseminates information about the curriculum's effectiveness.
ERO is working with the Death Penalty Information Center to develop a set of case studies for use in college courses to explore issues surrounding the public debate over the death penalty. The materials will include teaching cases designed to promote discussion, accompanying teaching notes, guidelines for investigating relevant data, and bibliographic resources.
EDC delivers intensive professional development for afterschool providers in the integration of academic content in afterschool programming. Created in partnership with the Afterschool All-Stars, Citizen Schools, CNYD, and Foundations Inc., the trainings emphasize experiential learning approaches, positive youth development principles, and on-going staff leadership and development.
This project is producing, piloting, and disseminating the Seeing the Connections curriculum modules. The curriculum helps preservice teachers develop important mathematical knowledge and skills required in their future careers—designing effective lessons, emphasizing certain ideas over others, connecting ideas across the grades, understanding germs of insight in students' questions, and placing topics in the precollege curriculum in the broader mathematical landscape.
EDC serves as technology advisor in the development of an online toolkit designed to aid afterschool educators in the integration of technology and academic content. SEDL's technical assistance effort is funded by the U.S. Department of Education to support their 21st Century Community Learning Center program, a $1 billion effort to fund afterschool programming.
The smart grid employs advanced digital technology to upgrade the century-old electrical grid in the United States, resulting in a radical transformation of the ways that energy is used and consumed.
EDC has developed two three-lesson curriculum units that introduce high school students to the smart grid:
The Initiative for Pediatric Palliative Care (IPPC) was launched in 1998 as a research, quality improvement, and education effort aimed at enhancing family-centered care for children living with life-threatening conditions. Using a retreat format, IPPC addresses the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that health care professionals need to better serve children and their families.
EDC is developing a web-based course on pandemic preparedness and response for communities. The primary audience is local decision-makers and practitioners, with additional modules for specific audiences.
The USAID Teacher Education Project has the primary objective of helping the Government of Pakistan develop, introduce, and implement effective curricula for a new four-year bachelor's degree in education and a two-year associate degree in education. To achieve this goal, the project helps provincial governments create systems, policies and standards that ensure the effective execution of these degree programs.
Eyes on Bullying is a national, multimedia bullying prevention program designed to provide parents and caregivers with user-friendly and effective ways to learn the essential principles of bullying prevention. The multimedia program, initially developed for IBM employees, includes a 42-page Toolkit with key information, resources, and six skill-building activities for caregivers and parents to use with children.
A new Law and Justice curriculum is now available online and free of charge for teachers working with grades 9–12 and beyond. This two-year program was developed by EDC and funded by The James Irvine Foundation.
Converting curricula to digital formats means more than just doing away with heavy textbooks.
EDC is helping lead the way as states implement the Common Core standards.
Undeterred by a lack of resources, students in Somalia and Liberia are energized by locally produced reading materials.
Recently returned from a school that is piloting EDC's science video game, Martha Davis discusses technology in the classroom
A promising writing program is helping students develop and strengthen their writing skills. EDC researchers are tracking the results.
High school programs offer students real world experiences in fields such as law enforcement or video production, helping them explore possible careers.

Clinical data from thousands of HIV patients throughout the world will be entered into the database, which could then be processed to define complex data to determine the most effective drugs for a patient. This new approach would greatly enhance a physician's ability to improve a patient's prognosis.
"The establishment of our initiative as an independent, not-for-profit organization is helping us collect the data and secure the support we need to define the link between resistance and treatment response more accurately," said Julio Montaner, a member of the RDI Scientific Core Group and professor of medicine and chair in AIDS research at University of British Columbia, Canada.
Now that the initial operation of RDI is fully funded, the organization is seeking longer-term funding and collaborations with various research institutions, pharmaceutical companies and other organizations. "I would urge institutions and companies to get involved with this important initiative now, at the start," said Montaner. "By contributing data and providing financial support they can be part of an important global effort to overcome HIV resistance," he said.
A main reason for HIV treatment failure is that mutations in the genetic code of HIV cause resistance to HIV drugs. The RDI database enhances the predictive power of tests already available to read these genetic changes by relating HIV genetic changes to virological response to drug therapy, using the largest collection of clinical data available.
The U.S. Military HIV Research Group, the BC Center for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, Vancouver, Canada, the University of Siena, Italy, intramural scientists from the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as well as numerous individual researchers are involved in or working with RDI. "The key to success of this initiative is the amount of clinical data in the database," said Dr. Brendan Larder, chair of the RDI Scientific Core Group. "While no one company or organization can generate enough on its own, the RDI represents a unique opportunity for individuals, institutions and companies around the world to share their data and I am delighted that it is gathering such momentum," Larder added.

I'm not huge on politics. One of my favorite sayings is that "I stick my head in the sand with sports." I try not to concern myself with the partisan squabbles of our nation; meanwhile, I'm really worried about how Greg Roman is going to utilize an extra tight end to stop the Bears' pass rush next Monday night. I spent more time thinking about how Bruce Bochy was going to manage the bullpen in Game 4 of the World Series than I did thinking about which presidential candidate would take Ohio's electoral college votes.
Still, I enjoy election night in this country. I love competition, and the election is the ultimate form of it. One of the discussions that ensued on Twitter was which Bay Area sports figures would win an election with people like us doing the voting.
So let's ask the faithful BASG readers: who do you think should run Bay Area sports? I'll select four different offices: President/Vice President, Governor, Secretary of Defense and Speaker of the House. We'll put it to a vote on the comments — You can comment as many times as you want, but only one vote per person. I'll tally them up and announce our Bay Area government in a few days.
This is a candidate who has a way with words. He should be able to motivate, entertain and move people when he speaks. That's not to say that he's all talk and no action, but this guy should be able to rabble-rouse a crowd to get pissed off for greatness. Your choices are:
— Sergio Romo: He's highly entertaining, but probably not so motivational.
— Patrick Willis: He may not have you laughing, but he'll have you running through walls.
— Hunter Pence: His speeches may get a little awkward, but if they get the job done that's all that really matters, right?
— The Ghost of Mike Singletary: He'll pull his pants down for everybody to prove a point. He also utilizes film study to properly work the room.
Secretary of Defense
The Secretary of Defense should be the best defender that we've got around here. Enemies are constantly trying to assault our sovereign nation, and this guy is the stopper. He will make sure that nothing gets past him, no ball carrier runs through him and no one ever scores. That being said, I left Antti Niemi and all of the Raiders off the list:
— Gregor Blanco: Blanco could have won MVP of the World Series for his defense alone. I know he's got Matt Cain's vote.
— Justin Smith: People will be upset that Patrick Willis isn't on this list, but he can't run for two different offices in the same election. Besides, Willis will be free to do all the speaking he wants with Smith wrecking shop in front of him.
— Josh Reddick: I have to get some Oakland A's love on here, and Reddick is the guy for this position. Remember the Spider Man catch? He'll be doing that, except instead of catching home run balls he'll be thwarting terrorist attacks.
— Brandon Crawford: He's got the gorgeous locks and a flawless glove to go with it. He's been dominating the infield since 2011 and I bet he'll be dominating the female vote here.
This is going to go to the best decision-maker in the Bay Area. The man who is elected will be spending the next four years deciding who to draft, how to work the batting order, what moves to make in free agency and how our teams will be built, not just for today, but for the future.
— Trent Baalke: He found gems in Aldon Smith and Kendall Hunter. He waited out Carlos Rogers, Jonathan Goodwin and Donte Whitner. He took calculated risks in AJ Jenkins and LaMichael James. Most importantly, though, he landed Jim Harbaugh.
— Bruce Bochy: Honorable mention goes to Brian Sabean here, but Bochy is arguably the best decision-maker in the Giants' organization. Boch won't let anything get past him, from a promising righty-lefty split to a second trip to the mound.
— Bob Myers: His sample size is small when it comes to personnel moves, but so far he's brought promise to a franchise that has been lacking in that department since 2007. An added bonus with Myers — he's got Jerry West influencing his decisions.
— Billy Beane: It took a while, but Beane found a way to make the A's relevant again. The Athletics are a team brimming with young talent, and it wouldn't be that way without their general manager.
President/Vice President Ticket
Now for what you've all been waiting for. This office goes to the most popular guys in Bay Area sports. These are the men that carry this town, which means that much like the real election, it really boils down to two parties:
— Buster Posey/Matt Cain: Posey may have the advantage because the "Posey for President" campaign has already been going strong for a couple months. These two men are heroes in the Bay Area and they've captivated the city twice in three years.
— Jim Harbaugh/Alex Smith: Regardless of how you feel about Smith, there's no denying the change that San Francisco has seen under Harbaugh's tenure. He's taken a team devastated by poor coaching for a decade and returned them to the steps of a championship. It looks like he's on his way to doing it again in 2012.

Irene at 69 Vintage Buy the Pound posted this picture of an adorable girl in horned-rim glasses and a colourful vintage dress… wearing my Dr. Martens design, purchased from NEON! Pretty cool to see my boots on someone who is not a friend… but I am too curious. Who is this girl with such tremendous taste in footwear?
If you can introduce me to her, or if you've bought a pair of boots yourself, email me please – it makes my day to see these out and about.
UPDATE: Mystery solved! Marie sends me this lovely note:
I came across your posting – The cool little pixie is Kendra. My favorite gal pal, my adorable niece, a whimsical angel in my old aunty soul.
My sister and I took her shopping for shoes for her grade 8 grad. She is has the heart and soul of an artist and when she spied your boots in neon it was love at first sight. The boots were bought to ground her during her grade 8 grad and also because Kendra had no interest in rocking her grad in heels. The boots inspired her to support local designers and in the end her dress equally amazing was bought from Freedom Clothes near Dovercourt and Bloor. All inspiration for the grad came from the boots up.
She is everything that mishevious grin in the picture shows – she is a delight, she is unique, she is whimsical…
What a beautiful story! I remember how transformative Dr. Martens were for me when I was younger. I can't express how happy it makes me that someone like Kendra fell in love with my boots "at first sight" — and that it inspired her to style her grad outfit with the work of other local designers. Thanks so much Kendra and Marie!

Mawson's retro soft drinks
If you've ever browsed round the food and drink section of Selfridges, you may have noticed some soft drinks that look like they've popped up from a corner shop from the 1930s. They're Mawson's drinks - and in suitably vintage flavours - CreamSoda, Dandelion and Burdock and Sarsaparilla, not to mention those vintage bottles.
The drinks are made in Oldham - and have been since 1933, where the company has grown from a herbal shop dishing out drinks to deal with a variety of ailments to suppliers of the smart retail set. They're available as "old style" cordial or the slightly more modern fizzy drinks. We've become slightly addicted to them in the warm weather - and can heartily recommend the fizzy Sarsaparilla!
And if you're not in the Oldham area and don't do your food shopping at Selfridges, you'll be pleased to know they have a website and can ship bottles over to you mail order.

- For the ability to perform drive-by shooting, see Drive-By Shooting and for a mission of the similar name, see Drive-Thru.
- "I'm saying that the East Coast made you drive like an idiot, fool! Man, you always crashing cars and shit. And for some reason now you back, all it is, is 'CJ drive here, CJ drive there'. Bullshit!"
- — Ryder
Drive-By is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by his brother Sean "Sweet" Johnson from his home in Ganton.
Sweet, Big Smoke, and Ryder have decided to perform drive-bys on Ballas gang members, with Carl acting as their driver. The crew arrive at a number of spots where Ballas gang members tend to hang around and perform a drive-by's, killing every gang member in sight. After finishing off the gang members, they catch the police's attention and manage to lose it by driving to the Pay 'n' Spray in Idlewood. They travel back to Grove Street and decide to stay away from any heat for the rest of the day.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get in the car
- Drive your homies into Balla territory
- Take out the first group of Ballas
- Take out the second group of Ballas
- Take out the third group of Ballas
- Take out the fourth group of Ballas
- Use the nearby Pay 'n' Spray to lose the cops
- Take your homies back to the hood
Video walkthroughs
|PC Version
|IPad Version
The reward for completing this mission is $500 and increased respect. The missions Home Invasion and Sweet's Girl are unlocked as well. Ballas gang members become also increasingly violent against Carl Johnson and will attack him every time he's spotted driving past them.
- Although there is a police bribe on the path of the other side of the park under the bridge, it is pointless to get it before going to the Pay 'N' Spray because the wanted level goes down only for a moment before retaining a two-star wanted level once more.
- When CJ abandons his allies from Sweet's car for a short distance, Ryder will say, "Damn! He shook us!," then Big Smoke will take the driver seat and will drive away from Carl. The mission will fail and the game will say, "Are you sure you're down for the 'hood?"
- If the player uses the Never Wanted Cheat or the Wanted Level Down cheat, they will still have to go to Pay 'n' Spray.
- In this mission, police won't react to you until the last target is killed.
- Ryder's comment on CJ's driving could be a reference as to how some Grand Theft Auto players drive, which almost always consists of crashing into various obstacles.

HLM completes initial Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) geochemical survey on the Pakeagama Rare Metals Property in Northwestern Ontario
Sudbury, Ontario, December 04, 2012 /FSC/ - Houston Lake Mining Inc. (HLM - TSX Venture)is a mining exploration company which is actively exploring for rare metals and currently focusing on its 100% owned and optioned Pakeagama Rare Metals Project in northwestern Ontario, Canada. HLM is pleased to announce the completion of a Mobile Metal Ion ("MMI") geochemical survey on 60% of this 1,792 hectare (4,424 acre) property.
In June 2011, Peter J. Vanstone P.Geo. the qualified person for the project, conducted an MMI orientation soil survey over the exposed Pakeagama Lake pegmatite. The results of this survey identified 15 elements that had a definitive response to the pegmatite, and specifically established a characteristic cesium, lithium, and rubidium soil MMI response. It also allowed the Company to define the best soil sample depth range for future MMI surveys on the property. Later in 2011, Mr. Vanstone supervised a detailed reconnaissance MMI soil survey of the four more southerly claims.
The Company is pleased to announce that the regional survey returned very encouraging MMI results. Specifically, elevated cesium, lithium and rubidium MMI values are concentrated both to the northwest and southeast directions within the property and coincident with the assumed orientation of the Pakeagama Lake pegmatite. The MMI geochemical signatures are of similar amplitudes to that of the orientation survey over the Pakeagama Lake pegmatite itself. As a result, the Company is planning a preliminary exploration drill program, which, in part will reinforce the MMI geochemical exploration model defined by the orientation survey.
"The objective of the MMI geochemical program is to aid in the targeting and planning of a Phase I diamond drill program. Upon completion of the MMI survey and a future Phase I diamond drill program, the knowledge gained should provide us with a unique and cost effective geochemical survey tool we can use in further definition of our Pakeagama Lake rare metal pegmatite, or other similar pegmatites in central Canada", said Trevor R. Walker, President of HLM.

: The babys father of a popular R&B singer just sent out this letter to his fraternity brothers. This ish is about to get UGLY!!!
We're putting the story as a Blind Item because he's making some CRIMINAL ACCUSATIONS against his celeb babys mother. And we're not trying to get anybody LOCKED UP!!!
Just wanted to set the levels straight, I'm getting blasted everyday by the woman that swear she loves me about a picture of a chick I don't even f*ck with.
But you know guys you n*ggas are my best friends most loyal muthafuckas I know and I'm tired of protecting what [FEMALE R&B ARTIST] does as if I should be kissing her ass because a picture went public.
Thing is the public dont know none of the trifling shit she had done. Not even you dudes, yes my best friends. Know why because I didn't want to make her look like a trifling chick we sit around the room and talk about.
So once again for the last month she's tripped on me about a picture, well picture this in your head:
About 4 months ago while [THE BABY] was like 2 or 3 months and I was trying to make the Arena team, [FEMALE R&B ARTIST] got mad over some sh*t and took it upon herself to try and get back at me. Guess how?
A local n*gga that sells jewelry, his name is Marcus, and had his own jewelry shop has been courting her, and instead of deading the sh*t as a real down bitch should, about a year ago she went out to dinner with him, guess what I'm just finding dinner wasn't at a restaurant; but she still hasn't told me where "shakey right"? ( at the time we were mad but not broken up). She gave me her word she'd let the sh*t go and it wouldn't be an issue again, that I wouldn't have to worry about him, that she wasn't even attracted to him.
Well again like I said some months ago and right after having [THE BABY] this woman decides she's gonna play payback so she has me come get [THE BABY] who she left with her momma, she wore a brand new dress from Nordstrom's, Loubouton f*ck me heels, and naughty lingerie underneath ( keep in mind when she with me she always wearing some lounge wear like some tights or a long dress, or sometimes worse).
So she goes at 8pm to this dudes jewelry store and stays until 2am, the whole while texting me back and forth some bullsh*t. She "supposedly" came to her senses after 6 hours of being in a private place with someone, asked to come to my house. You don't know this [DUDE'S NAME] but I actually said yes ok, like a dummy. When she comes in looking all sexy and fly she immediately tells me she was actually going to fuck him but couldn't.
Now we some fly ass [FRAT BROTHERS] and truth is none of you I'm sure would believe that someone was private with someone drinking Ciroc for 6 hours, getting drunk and didn't do anything.
So like a sucka I allowed it to happen and we fucked, maybe it was the second fuck of the night for her I'll never know, all I can do is speculate.
Even still I moved forward, and boom I slip up and let a chick that fucks with my homeboy take a picture of me that went to gossip sites and she been dragging this shit on for a month now. Talking shit every chance she can.
I'm tired of the public always looking at me as the bad guy. I've had her fans calling me giving me death threats and all, but never have I told anyone about her bs. Not even my best friends. Not cause I give a damn about yall judging me, but as usual to protect my woman from you looking at her silly.
Does she give me the same respect, fuck no.
In the airport the other day although I was told to hush hush and not let anyone know we'd been arguing she goes out her way to ask someone that don't really care for me anyway, same one approached me at the bar when they "thought" I was there with another bitch, and someone she calls her sister, questions about something that aint even her business, but to me it's hush hush don't let them know we beefing.
"What's good for the goose should be good for the gander"
Oh and [NAME REDACTED] knows the many lies I told on the stand when I was going through that court sh*t, guess who promised to pay my lawyer fees of over $50000, yep the same woman that says she got my back and wants me forever in her life, etc etc.
Ask me did we win the case on my lies alone, lying to the court committing perjury to once again protect the woman I love "unconditionally". Now ask me how much I still owe that lawyer. If you guessed $50000 plus, you are correct. (You guys are smart)
She got all these people that look at me crazy everyday not knowing any of the dumb, childish shit she has put me through. The world, her friends, management, play sister, momma, brothers, etc, will never know the truth.
Hey but look continue to be the supportive friends you are we all know I'm good as long as my kids happy, I love my life and I promise I won't change a thing about it, can't change other people if they don't wanna change themselves.
So honest opionion?

text: On the Go Outfit (2005- 2007) May 1, 2007 19:56:48 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by Diamond Dragon on May 1, 2007 19:56:48 GMT -5 Just got this outfit on sale on the AG site. The on-the go outfit comes with a short velour skirt that would look great over a swimsuit or leotard. The pants fold over at the top which I don't really like, but look like they could be good sweatpants or workout pants. The jean jacket is thin but really nice and I like the tank top too. Not a big fan of the tights, they're OK but I wish they were leggings instead. Also comes with shoes and a headband as well as a flimsy paper address book with 20 spaces, 2 on each page. I think the address book would be good for one of the dolls if she were to become a traveling doll, or to write the names, addresses e-mail, etc of her other dolly friends.

Currently on a search to find their lost siblings and cousins, they believe that if you have someone to hold your hands, the Boogeyman can't catch you. Because of this, they need your help to join hands with each other so that they make it back home safely. Will you help them? Enter the Whispering Woods and lead the Peablins safely to their lost brethren. Play more than 100 fantastic and challenging levels where you figure out the best way for the Peablins to hold hands. Move them around, line them up, and figure out the right pattern to go on to the next. As you encounter new types of Peablins, the puzzles will become even more spectacular.

Sri Lankan leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya)
|Panthera (1)
|Female weight: 29 kg (2)
Male weight: 56 kg (2)
Classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List 2007 (1). The species (Panthera pardus) is listed on Appendix I of CITES (3).
The Sri Lankan leopard is one of currently eight recognised subspecies of leopard, the smallest of the 'big cats' (4). Leopards have lithe, elongated bodies supported on relatively stocky legs and broad paws (5). Sri Lankan leopards are generally larger in size than their relatives elsewhere (4). As with other leopards, the coat is a tawny or rusty yellow, marked with the dark spots and rosettes so characteristic of this species; individual markings are unique (5).
This subspecies is found in Sri Lanka, just south of the Indian subcontinent (2).
Very little is known about Sri Lanka's leopards, but individuals within the Yala National Park in the southeast of the country are found in scrub jungle with scattered rocky outcrops (4).
No detailed scientific study of the Sri Lankan leopard has been undertaken to date (4). Observations have revealed however, that these leopards may be more social than subspecies elsewhere, and they have also been known to tackle bigger prey including almost full-grown buffaloes (4). These intriguing differences may reflect the Sri Lankan leopard's unique position at the top of the food chain; leopards in other areas are superseded by the larger lions and tigers (4). Leopards tend to stalk and ambush their prey and are opportunistic hunters, taking a wide range of prey and readily scavenging carcasses. In Yala National Park, spotted deer appear to make up the majority of the diet (4).
Leopards are primarily arboreal and nocturnal, they are generally solitary creatures, with the exception of females and their young. Both sexes occupy territories although those of males tend to overlap those of several females (6). Litter size is usually around two cubs, and in Sri Lanka breeding is thought to take place during the dry season that runs from May to July (2).
Leopards have been highly prized for their coats throughout their range, and there has recently been a worrying increase in the number of skins seized by authorities in Sri Lanka (4). Leopard bones have also started to replace tiger bones in traditional medicine, thus adding to the demand for poached individuals (4). Although renowned as adaptable creatures, the destruction of their native habitat is a further threat (2). Years of civil unrest in the country have also hampered conservation programmes (4).
Trade in leopards, or products obtained from them, is banned by their listing on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) (3). Further research into the little-known Sri Lankan leopard is desperately needed before any effective conservation measures may be put into place, and the Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society is currently undertaking research for this purpose (7).

Nice pictures. Traveling somewhere by ship was always something I thought I would do. Didn't happen.
I don't think I could read All the Present's Men. It was so horrific as it unraveled -- how could Americans do such a thing -- and I would hate to relive it, knowing what we all learned later.

After months of speculation, actress Demi Moore confirmed today that her marriage to Ashton Kutcher is over, saying, "It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton."
Demi, who has daughters Rumer, 23, Scout, 20, and Tallulah, 17, from her previous marriage to Bruce Willis, continues, "As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life."
The split comes on the heels of recent reports that Ashton cheated on Demi with 22-year-old Sara Leal during a trip to San Fransisco in September – on their 6th wedding anniversary!
That wasn't the first time rumors of infidelity had surfaced: A year earlier Brittney Jones, also 22, alleged that she'd slept with the Punk'd star.
Though Ashton has kept quiet on the speculation, he did Tweet this today: "I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi. Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail."
Despite their 15-year age difference, the pair seemed to share a strong connection – it wasn't too long ago that they were talking about having a baby! Though that never happened, Ashton did take on a fatherly role with Demi's daughters, who even referred to him as "M.O.D" (my other dad).
Divorce is never happy news, but if Ashton really did cheat on Demi – with girls her daughter's age! – then I think she's made a wise, though difficult, decision.
If your partner was unfaithful, do you think you'd leave?

For some perspective here's a shot of the rode leading to the above pic. Was taken last January from the Puente Baluarte.
!Felicidades Trice for completing this offroad rally!
Keep an eye on Cosme, caballeros.
Hi Y'all!
What are some towns close to the pyramids of the Sun and Moon with a selection of hotels? I stayed in Pachuga last time, but I think there are some towns closer. I am in Acapulco at the moment, but will be headed in that direction via Morelia later today. Thanks!
Clearly the 24 hours I spent there was not enough. My stay was very pleasant but there is clearly a lot more to experience given a local ADV'er. I look forward to a return visit.
Anyone ordered their TVIP online? It is asking me for my entry date into Mexico. I am unsure of my exact date. If I am a day or three late (or early), will this be an issue? Does the date have to be exact?
All the time.
Just enter México anytime on/after the TVIP effective date, not before.
Make sure Going South takes you to the rooftop bar at the Freeman.
A sublime afternoon watching surfers, ships, and a 360 view of Mazatlán.
Jim is a great ADV host and it was a perfect afternoon up there, followed by grilled lobster at Costa Marinera.

Is Cosme a TV weather girl?
Back in Parras de la Fuente, and taking wine orders until 6 pm central time

My name is
Jurgens du Toit.
Systems Developer.
Problem Solver.
Technology and Solving Problems are my passion. I'm a South African that loves my wife, life, and coding.
I'm writing a book!
While working on Backend-PHP I needed to do a proper implementation of the Decorator Pattern in PHP. Just googling PHP decorator pattern will come up with a number of simple solutions, but none of them are usable in a general, robust way that a framework requires. So I extended and tweaked the implementations a bit.
Most decorator pattern implementations for PHP found on the web is broken. They need some extra functionality to work properly, especially for nested decorators. See the complete solution in the Backend-PHP code
I'm assuming you know how decorators work. If not, read up on it first! I've implemented a base
Decorator class to handle the base functionality for Decorators. The simple implementations out there serve as a good base for an initial implementation:
class Decorator
protected $object; //The object to decorate
function __construct( $object)
$this->object = $object;
This is enough to get you started, but you will need to wrap the original object's properties and methods manually. Let's define a couple of magic functions to do that automatically:
public function __call($method, $args)
if (is_callable($this->object, $method) {
return call_user_func_array(array($this->object, $method), $args);
throw new Exception(
'Undefined method - ' . get_class($this->object) . '::' . $method
public function __get($property)
if (property_exists($this->object, $property)) {
return $this->object->$property;
return null;
public function __set($property, $value)
$this->object->$property = $value;
return $this;
That should give you a working basic implementation.
That will work as long as you don't nest decorators, ie, decorate an already decorated object:
$object = new DecoratorOne(new DecoratorTwo(new SomeClass()));
Why? The magic functions will check the decorated object for the properties and methods, but in the case of
DecoratorOne above, the decorated object will be another decorator, and you won't get the expected behaviour. This happens because
property_exists doesn't trigger the
__get (or
__set) methods.
is_callable does check for the
__call function, but that doesn't necessarily produce the expected results, especially if you stack decorators that modify method execution.
We solve this by adding two more functions:
public function getOriginalObject()
$object = $this->object;
while ($object instanceof Decorator) {
$object = $object->getOriginalObject();
return $object;
getOriginalObject will return the original, undecorated object. This is handy to get the correct class name or access to undecorated methods and properties:
echo get_class($decoratedClass) //Will give the name of the Decorator
echo get_class($decoratedClass->getOriginalObject()) //Will give the name of the original object
public function isCallable($method, $checkSelf = false)
//Check the original object
$object = $this->getOriginalObject();
if (is_callable(array($object, $method))) {
return $object;
//Check Decorators
$object = $checkSelf ? $this : $this->object;
while ($object instanceof Decorator) {
if (is_callable(array($object, $method))) {
return $object;
$object = $this->object;
return false;
isCallable will check the original object for the specified method, and if not found, it will check the other decorators for the method. The option exists to check itself as well.
Now we can modify the magic functions like so:
public function __call($method, $args)
if ($object = $this->isCallable($method)) {
return call_user_func_array(array($object, $method), $args);
throw new Exception(
'Undefined method - ' . get_class($this->getOriginalObject()) . '::' . $method
public function __get($property)
$object = $this->getOriginalObject();
if (property_exists($object, $property)) {
return $object->$property;
return null;
public function __set($property, $value)
$object = $this->getOriginalObject();
$object->$property = $value;
return $this;
This will give you a robust Decorator Pattern implementation from which you can then create more Decorators. See the complete implementation in the Backend-PHP code

butterfly koi questions
Hi I have 5 butterfly koi in a 55 gal tank I use Marineland 350 GPH filter bio wheel and I was wondering if anybody can tell me how to tell a male and a female koi I absolutely love koi and I would really like it if my koi kids lol would be able to breed and what I would need to do if they do breed if I need to separate them or not and the proper way to care for them inside the tank I really could use some information from somebody who really knows what theyre talking about like I said my koi are my baby and I love them a lot
Posted via Mobile Device
Hi and welcome to the community. Unfortunately it isn't easy to sex koi. Your best bet is to wait until they grow over a foot long and look for the width of the body. Females will be plump and males will be thinner. This is most easily viewed from above.
But I'm pretty sure they will not breed for you in a 55 gal tank. I don't know if you are aware, but a 55 gal is not a good permanent home for koi. They can easily reach over a foot long. They really do best in ponds over 1000 gallons. Koi are bred in ponds. Some people use the mud-bottom pond approach and just let nature take it's course. And some people will strip males and females of eggs and sperm and then make the combinations they want to preserve bloodlines and line-breed koi.
Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
