I am writing a web application using the full MVC capabilities of the Zend Framework and including a service layer, domain model and mapper. I think my understanding of the layers is correct but would like to confirm.
The upper layers are dependent on the layers below, so starting from the top:
Controller - the topmost layer. Highly dependent on the View, which it instantiates, populates and renders. Dependent on Services for access to the Model.
View - Unaware of the Controller. Occasionally depends on Services or Model, e.g. to populate lookup lists for a select control.
Services - Provide an API to clients, such as the Controller. Highly dependent on the Model. In fact, Services often mediate between the Mapper- and Domain-parts of the Model to get work done for a client.
Mapper (Model, Part A) - Has an intimate knowledge of the Domain, manipulating Domain objects to fit into a relational data store, and manipulating relational data to create fresh Domain objects.
Domain Model (Model, Part B) - Contains the domain logic. Domain objects are unaware of other layers however since they need access to other domain objects, they may access mappers as 'object finders'.
Does that sound about right? What have I missed?

Great ride with friends today. Waverly Sq. out to Concord, then did the Strawberry Hill loop. Chilly to start though, only 38 degrees, but it warmed up rather nicely. Great to be out riding in mid-December!

After a business week in the Chicago suburbs I'm back home again, so Sharon and I did 20 miles on the Minuteman Bikeway on the tandem, Bedford to Alewife and back. Started about 2:30, temperature about 40F, finished about 5:00, temperature in the low 30s. We did the return trip with the generator running and lights on, unnecessary at first but definitely required by the time we finished. It was nice to get back on a bike.

did 22 miles while waiting for my son's athletic practice; http://app.strava.com/activities/32483129
picked up a Strava KOM for only the second time in my life, not too shabby
Trek Domane 4.5 (commute/distance), Specialized Roubaix (climber), Xootr Swift (winter/travel), Trek Soho (around town)
22 miles to Bedford this morning, high 30's to mid 40's. Saw several skaters with ski poles, some with wheeled skis to boot. Had thought to ride to North Bridge, but after stopping at the Bedford Public Library for a pit stop--the Freight House bog is closed for the season--I found I couldn't get my right glove back on... this has happened once before, at about the same temperature, after my hands had sweat a bit; it seems that the lining of the outer glove (these are Izumi Pearl WXBs) got pulled partially inside out and tangled. Anyone else ever encounter this with WXBs? After spending 40 minutes fiddling with the glove I was able to get it partially on, enough to ride, and turned around and rode home. Beautiful day for a ride though, wardrobe malfunctions notwithstanding.
Jim, congrats to you two too. You kids generate youth and inspiration. Thanks to you as well.

December can be a little confusing. Some nice riding days last week, 30s but without ice to speak of. Rain and (depending on where you live) an ice storm early this week, now warmer days (and a little more rain).
My Winter bike (1987 GT Karakoram hard-tail MTB) came back from my LBS, checked out mechanically and shod once again in Nokians with carbide studs.
From Empire Wool and Canvas Company, the Duluth-based purveyors of serious Winter gear, came a gigantic pair of Ice Bike Mittens (made of "annoyingly sustainable Whitetail Deer", among other things); we'll see how many Massachusetts days are cold enough to do them justice...
A set of Grand Bois Cypres Extra Leger 700c 30mm tires arrived from Compass Bicycles; I had ordered these in a fit of enthusiasm to give fast, supple tires a shot, only to realize that December is a particularly stupid time to run what will probably turn out to be a transitory and easily-flatted pleasure. They're now sleeping in a shoe-box in the closet, waiting for April, warmer weather, and swept streets.

One of my brothers steps outside his front door every so often to sustain his dinner table through the winter with white-tail deer. But he doesn't live around here.
My Masi is shod with Vittoria Open Corsa EVO SC tires, not likely ever to see snow any more than your GBs.
And finally, I put the Bianchi in the back of the car in anticipation of taking it out over lunch tomorrow, weather or no. We'll see.

I did get to ride yesterday over lunch, about 45 minutes on the Blackstone Bikeway. Cold, windy, cloudy. Nice. A few pics. First some ducks and atmosphere:
And this little guy, an eastern ribbon snake. I've seen larger ones in about the same place. He was probably wondering what happened to the sun:
Today I got in about 35 miles, home to Concord by a different route than I normally take, Concord Rd to Spring to Marrett, rt2A to the turnoff to Meriam's Corner, to Concord Center. Rt2A sure has bumpy pavement! But it was a great day.

Met at 7/11 near Aquarium for the start of the day coffee with Matthew Ray-Gun Stumpf. We rode to South Boston's Castle Island, did the Pleasure Bay loop. On the way back to Boston to figure out where we would continue Matt's lockring stripped off the cog slightly, we went to a bike shop that will remain nameless. They serviced the bike immediately and said the cog was tighly installed and shouldn't be giving any ferther problems. We made the decision to go to the minute man, during that point I felt like my legs were trying to pedal on cement blocks. Checked my seat and it was extremely low. but it kept sliding in the seat tube. After quick thinking by Matt we went to the store and purchased an Arizona Golden Bear lemonade where i was forced to chug it down so we can get this ride going before it got really dark. The can was ripped open and the a sliver of aliminum was used to hold the seat in place. When we got to the Minute Man the sun had completely disappeared, the wind was horrendous and tempeture dropped rapidly. Many seat adjustment were made during the ride to the point where I thought I wouldn't finish myself and would have to turn around but we progressed. We finished and found our way to Starbucks, had a delicious Salted Caramel Mocha. On the way back to Arlington T Station on the Minuteman Trail, the caffine most of kicked in because I went from sluggish to momentum that I was over spinning my pedals and just didn't want to stop. Unfornately towards the end disaster stuck agian with Matt's rear cog and this time it was toast. Had to finish the day off with a train ride and that painful walk of shame home. 39.9mi. Fixed Gear

Jim, great snake!
Night ride on the Minuteman, Lexington Center and back, 10 miles. Only half a dozen other riders out tonight, plus a couple of runners, one skater with a godalmighty-bright headlamp, and a few bluetooth headsets on legs, yacking on the hoof. The low ceiling gave back a lot of the street light, and Arlington's Great Meadows turned that into a golden glow.
JB, sorry to hear of your mechanical troubles. But you sure have the motivation thing down. Cycle to eat and drink great stuff, and to see places and roads you've never seen before!
Rod, do you ever get to ride during the day? We've ridden the tandem on the MM in the dark a few times. Not usually during the week though. I never have a free minute for that.

Jim, would love to head out to your area and see some new sights out there. My bike is fine it was Matt's that received the damage. Should be replacing my 16t cog with a new 15t Dura Ace cog really soon.
Rod, love the Minuteman at night but some people have lights that blind you and your eyes have to adjust. Next ride there I need to have a new light, the one I have just doesn't seem to be powerful enough.

Jim, this time of year I mostly ride at night, at least during the week; with the short days (here we are at the Solstice already) it's either that, or the wind trainer, so I've made a virtue of necessity and learned to enjoy night riding... and it IS an antidote to Minuteman population pressure effects. I do get to see the sun on weekends. Basically, I'm schedule-constrained.
JB, there's a headlights arms race in progress. Most of the riders last night were considerately lowering or dimming their lights as they approached each other, like drivers on dark back roads, dimming their high beams. The good news with all these lumens is that you really can see enough to ride safely, avoid road hazards, etc. The bad news is that a pedestrian without lights or reflective gear who is walking between two converging bicycles with their lights set high (bad practice on everybody's part, but it does happen) can become almost completely invisible, detectable only as a fragmentary sillhouette in the glare.

Very happy to see this design available again.
Picked it up at the end of the season sale so I cannot comment on "below zero" Chicago weather performance.
Great fit, material, timeless design. Great all around jacket
Comments about Men's 1936 Skyliner Original Model Down Jacket:
Casual, relaxed, light to wear, for a kick back day filled with chilled moments, but warmed thoughts....;)
Comments about Men's 1936 Skyliner Original Model Down Jacket:
I bought several of these jackets because I like the classic style and needed something warm enough for the cooler San Francisco evenings. I wear thinner 'non-down' jackets on warm or neutral days, but I use these jackets when it's cold outside, as down is definitely warmer than the 'non-down' jackets. .

BOSTON -- A collection of news and notes after the Boston Celtics defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 99-95 Wednesday night at the TD Garden:
The rundown (a quick look at postgame headlines)
* KG takes five (stitches) while Doc watches the clock
* Injury watch: Rondo's hamstring flares, Nate's foot aches
* Loose balls: Room for improvement; no scouting trip for Doc
No stranger to in-game stitches, Kevin Garnett didn't even attempt to argue when Celtics trainer Ed Lacerte told him a small gash under his chin sustained in the third quarter of Wednesday's game would need stitches to close up. Instead Garnett sprinted immediately for the tunnel and returned to the locker room for team doctors to patch him up.
Garnett would be absent a mere four minutes of game time before returning to the Boston bench, but with a pair of TV timeouts mixed in before he was able to return to the court, it only felt like an eternity, which had Celtics coach Doc Rivers barking at poor Lacerte wondering what was taking so long to administer five stitches.
Fortunately, when Garnett did return, he came back with a vengeance. Stepping back on the court with 2:24 to play in the third quarter, he aided Boston's 17-4 run to close out the period, producing a 19-foot turnaround right before the buzzer that sent the Celtics into the fourth quarter with a seven-point cushion they'd desperately need to hang on to the win.
Garnett scored nine of his 17 points while playing the final 14:24 of the game. As Rivers surmised, "He was [angry] someone hit him in the mouth."
That someone was Andre Miller, whose head slammed into Garnett's chin with a little more than eight minutes to play in the third quarter. Garnett immediately dabbed at the beard-covered area and, soon after, retreated to the locker room.
For his part, Garnett thought the doctors made good time in patching him up.
"You'd have to talk to the doctors about [the time span]," said Garnett. "Believe me, when Ed told me I needed [stitches], I wasn't going to sit around and debate with him, so I just took off to the back. It's a process.
"I got stitched up in Chicago [in April], they were really taking their time, messing around. I had to call my boy [Celtics media relations czar Jeff] Twiss. He came back and quickened them up a bit. I've been stitched a couple times, more than a couple, [Wednesday] was record timing."
Even still, Rivers was looking for a doctor to holler at about the pace.
"Whoever did our stitches, we're going to have to talk," Rivers said with a slight smile. "That's the longest -- I thought we were on the road. Opposing doctors do that: They can't find the sutures, they take their time. But it did take a long time. I kept checking with Eddie saying, 'What's going on back there?'"
Fortunately for the Celtics, Shaquille O'Neal held the fort, logging 9:36 in the third quarter as part of 26:24 overall. O'Neal connected on 5-of-7 shots for 14 points with four rebounds and a block. Glen Davis, who checked in for Garnett, also got hot in the third, playing the final 7:47 and hitting all four shots he took for eight points (igniting Boston's late-quarter burst). Davis finished with 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting with seven rebounds.
While Rivers gave a small dose of positive injury news before the game, noting that Jermaine O'Neal hoped to be back working out as early as next week after missing the last eight games with lingering left knee soreness, Rivers hinted that two of his chief ball-handles were aching in Wednesday's win.
"I left [Rajon] Rondo in because [Nate Robinson's] foot was hurting," said Rivers. "Rondo's hamstring was starting to get sore and he was worried that, if he came out, he couldn't return. So the injury thing is really starting to creep up on us a little bit, and it is what it is."
The Celtics will break Thursday after sweeping both ends of a back-to-back that started Tuesday in Cleveland. Boston hosts the Bulls Friday night at the Garden.
Rondo missed three games because of a strained left hamstring, but deemed it a non-issue earlier this week, suggesting his battle with plantar fasciitis was a larger issue. He finished with 10 points and 10 assists over 44:30, but contributed only four points in the second half.
Robinson tweaked his right foot against the Hawks while starting in place of Rondo. During one of his finest offensive performances, Robinson landed awkwardly after hitting a third-quarter 3-pointer and hobbled to the bench. He did not return, but has played in each of the last four games, while getting additional treatment on the foot. Robinson finished with zero points and two assists over 3:33 Wednesday.
* Rivers wasn't thrilled with how Wednesday's game unfolded -- his team struggled with turnovers early, then nearly gave away a 16-point lead in the final five minutes -- but he'll take the win. "We won. But, really, just not a great game for us. We won the game and we'll always take the win. There is a concern: I don't know if that's ever happened where, you're shooting 61 percent at halftime, and you're down one. And we shoot 57 percent for the game and almost threw it away. But we'll take the win."
* Wednesday's game prevented Rivers from jumping across town to see his eldest son, Jeremiah, compete for the Indiana University men's basketball team, which dropped an 88-76 decision to Boston College. Rivers chipped in two points, three assists and two rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench for the Hoosiers.
"We were laughing about it today, [Indiana coach Tom Crean] had told me he was going to get a game here to make sure I had a chance to watch [Jeremiah] play and he said, 'Well, I kind of messed this one up.'"
Rivers seemed unfazed, noting he had sneaked out to Bloomington, Ind., three times already this season to catch some games.
Rivers said he also got to spend quality time with his son on Wednesday morning.
"That would have been really nice [to see the game]," said Rivers. "But I've missed a lot of them. I'll miss another one. Listen, I got to spend a lot of time with him today and that's really good."

Skip to comments.Zheng He's Tomb Found in Nanjing
Posted on 06/26/2010 11:45:40 AM PDT by Palter
A recently excavated tomb in Nanjing has been confirmed to be the grave of Zheng He, a eunuch from the early Ming Dynasty who led historic voyages to Southeast Asia and eastern Africa. The tomb was discovered accidentally on June 18th by workers at a construction site near Zutang Mountain that also holds the tombs of many other Ming Dynasty eunuchs, the Yangtse Evening News reported.
The tomb was 8.5 meters long and 4 meters wide and was built with blue bricks, which archaeologists said were only used in structures belonging to dignitaries during the time of Zheng He.
But experts believed his remains were not placed in the tomb because of the long distance between Nanjing and India, where he died during a visit in 1433.
Born in 1371, Zheng He was an excellent navigator and diplomat in the Ming Dynasty. He led the royal fleet to southwest Asia and east Africa on seven occasions from 1405 to 1433, nearly a century before Christopher Columbus discovered the American continent in 1492.
A worker clean soil at the entrance to the tomb.
What a bummer if he spent all that time and labor but never got to use it.
I'll keep the tiny ship and my stones, thanks.
I enjoy this type of reading. Interesting.....
Zeng who?
Oh, wait, who's on first. He's on second.
Who He?
but they shrugged and went home and didn't bother to colonize did they? same with the Vikings or the Polynesians.
It should be: Zheng. His Tomb Found in Nanjing.
Third person, possessive... :0)
Really? Then there will no doubt be fascinating artifacts in his tomb which will be traced back to the New World.
Hu He was his smarter brother...
According to one ancient legend, a Chinese official named Wan-Hoo attempted a flight to the moon using a large wicker chair to which were fastened 47 large rockets. Forty seven assistants, each armed with torches, rushed forward to light the fuses. In a moment there was a tremendous roar accompanied by billowing clouds of smoke. When the smoke cleared, the flying chair and Wan-Hu were gone.
Just because the Communists like pinyin doesn't mean we have to use it.
Aside from all the jesting and stupid comments -— I find this interesting.
Zheng He is an interesting individual from Chinese history. If the point of Menzies book is true, then the course of this country's history would be changed.
Who knows where that age of exploration would have led if China hadn't withdrawn into itself.
Thanks GeronL, blam, and BenLurkin.

They'd have built the railroads fifty years sooner?
But seriously, Zheng He didn't make it to America, even though IMHO Columbus was by no means the first to sail over.
:') That will be a good test.

The Ming Voyages
"China, the West, and World History in Joseph Needham's Science and Civilisation in China" by Robert Finlay, in Journal of World History (Fall 2000), Univ. of Hawaii Press, 2840 Kolowalu St., Honolulu, Hawaii 96822.
Thanks to British scholar Joseph Needham's monumental Science and Civilisation in China (1954-98), westerners have a whole new appreciation of China's richly inventive past. Especially compelling was his account of 15th-century Chinese expeditions to Southeast Asia and, through the Indian Ocean, to India, Arabia, and Africa. Renowned now as voyages of discovery, they show up in many notable treatments of world history. Needham drew a sharp contrast between those peaceful Ming dynasty expeditions (1405-33) of Zheng He, whom he portrays as China's answer to Vasco da Gama, and the early-16th-century Portuguese voyages of conquest. But Needham's portrait of the Ming expeditions is "seriously skewed," argues Finlay, a historian at the University of Arkansas.
Though Needham (1900-95) acknowledged that the motives behind the seven expeditions by Zheng HeÃs 300-odd junks were mixed, he claimed that the chief purpose, growing stronger with each expedition, was "proto-scientific" — the scholarly gathering of rare materials and knowledge. Trade, though extensive, was incidental, he maintained, and the peaceful fleet's 26,000 troops had "primarily ceremonial" duties since they were part of "a navy paying friendly visits to foreign ports." Far more important than merchants and military men, according to Needham, were the fleet's astronomers, geomancers, physicians, and naturalists.
The reality was quite different, Finlay argues. The eunuch admiral Zheng He "did not, as Needham asserts, inspire the Ming voyages, and there is no significant sense in which he can be regarded as an explorer. He commanded the maritime expeditions as a military agent of the Yongle emperor, a ruler who had no interest in voyages of discovery. . . . Aggressive and ruthless, Yongle was one of the most militaristic rulers in Chinese history." He had come to power in a bloody civil war, personally commanded campaigns against the Mongols, and, starting in 1406 — the year after Zheng He's fleet first sailed to Southeast Asia — sent an army of more than 200,000 men to invade Vietnam. "Yet the emperor does not figure in Needham's analysis," Finlay observes.
The 26,000 troops on the Chinese junks were not "a ceremonial cortege for diplomatic occasions" (being much too numerous and expensive for that), Finlay says, but rather "an expeditionary force for executing the emperor's will, whether that meant militarizing the tribute system, suppressing piracy in Southeast Asia, bringing overseas Chinese ports under control, or even making Siam and Java vassal states of the empire." And the many "experienced, heavily armed" troops, not the "'calm and pacific'" nature of the Chinese, were the reason that the voyages were generally tranquil. Nor was trade merely incidental, "for Yongle evidently intended to harness the force (and profits) of seaborne commerce to serve the purposes of imperial hegemony in Southeast Asia."
Needham, a former biochemist who subscribed to an idiosyncratic blend of Marxism and Christianity, was determined, says Finlay, "to present the Ming expeditions as embodying the virtues of China in contrast to the vices of the West." Science and Civilisation in China is an encyclopedic survey of Chinese accomplishments in science and technology. But, "as with the voyages of Zheng He," Finlay says, Needham's account of those accomplishments "ignores social, political, and economic contexts." Needham's claims about the impact of Chinese inventions on Europe are also suspect, Finlay thinks. Yet, despite its flaws, he says, the late scholarÃs masterwork "remains an extraordinary achievement."

Chinatown, 1000 B.C.Mike Xu, a linguist at Texas Christian University... has spent years analyzing jade, stone, and pottery relics from the Olmec, an ancient people that inhabited the American Southwest and Central America 3,000 years ago. He was struck by how closely the symbols on the artifacts resembled Chinese inscriptions from the Shang dynasty in China. "There are hundreds of these symbols that occur again and again, throughout the entire Olmec territory," Xu says. The Shang writings date from 1600 to 1100 b.c. Traces of the Olmec civilization abruptly appear during this span, around 1200 to 1100 B.C. Olmec and Shang artistic styles look much alike, and the two cultures followed related religious practices. For instance, both used cinnabar, a red pigment, to decorate ceremonial objects, and both put jade beads in the mouths of the dead to ward off evil. "The similarities are just too striking to be a coincidence," he says.
by Jocelyn SelimThe Olmec and the ShangLast year, in a book entitled Origin of the Olmec Civilization, Professor Mike Xu, a Chinese who teaches in the foreign languages department at the University of Central Oklahoma, proposed a hypothesis which aroused a storm of controversy in archeological circles. In Xu's view, the first complex culture in Mesoamerica may have come into existence with the help of a group of Chinese who fled across the seas as refugees at the end of the Shang dynasty. The Olmec civilization arose around 1200 BC, which coincides with the time when King Wu of Zhou attacked and defeated King Zhou, the last Shang ruler, bringing his dynasty to a close.

tr. by Robert TaylorA tale of two culturesThe Smithsonian's Meggers says that Chen's analysis of the colors "makes sense. But his reading of the text is the clincher. Writing systems are too arbitrary and complex. They cannot be independently reinvented."
by Charles Fenyvesi2,500 Years Before Columbus[W]hen the last Shang king was defeated and killed by rivals in 1122 B.C., his loyalists were forced to flee to the "East Ocean" or Pacific, notes Xu in his new book, Origin of the Olmec Civilization (University of Central Oklahoma Press, 1996)... Numerous notable Chinese scholars have confirmed Xu's readings of the Olmec inscriptions, including Han Ping Chen, a scholar of ancient Chinese from the Historical Research Institute at the China Social Science Academy. After examining 146 characters and symbols from the Olmec culture, Chen reported: "These symbols, if found or excavated in China (except rock art and carving), would certainly be regarded as prehistoric Chinese characters or symbols. Of 146 symbols, many are 100 percent identical to ancient Chinese characters. Some, I am afraid, can be easily recognized by Chinese first graders in elementary schools..." ...William Boltz of the University of Washington and Robert Bagley of Princeton dismissed as "rubbish" the notion that the characters could be Chinese. The criticism infuriates Xu -- and rightly so, we might add. "Most experts in Olmec studies do not have any idea about ancient Chinese writings and Asian cultures or tradition," says Xu, who was educated in both China and the United States. "How on Earth could they comment on top Chinese scholars reading Chinese as 'rubbish'?"
by Patrick HuygheAmerica's earliest written language uncoveredCarvings believed to be the earliest form of written language in the Americas have been found in Mexico. Symbols dating back to 650BC were found by archaeologists in the San Andreas region of Tabasco state, near the Gulf of Mexico. They were found on chips from a stone plaque and on a cylinder stone used for printing that were unearthed in a dig at the site of an ancient Olmec city near La Venta. The symbols are 350 years older than the oldest previously discovered American writings... The carvings were interpreted to mean "king" and "3 Ajaw", which researchers believe was the name of a ruler. The Olmec's system of carvings for dates and names was adopted by the Mayas, who then developed it into a highly sophisticated language over the next 1,000 years.
Friday 6th December 2002'Earliest writing' found in ChinaSigns carved into 8,600-year-old tortoise shells found in China may be the earliest written words, say archaeologists... They predate the earliest recorded writings from Mesopotamia - in what is now Iraq - by more than 2,000 years. The archaeologists say they bear similarities to written characters used thousands of years later during the Shang dynasty, which lasted from 1700-1100 BC... The archaeologists have identified 11 separate symbols inscribed on the tortoise shells. The shells were found buried with human remains in 24 Neolithic graves unearthed at Jiahu in Henan province, western China. The site has been radiocarbon dated to between 6,600 and 6,200 BC. The research was carried out by Dr Garman Harbottle, of the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, US, and a team of archaeologists at the University of Science and Technology of China, in Anhui province... Dr Harbottle points to the persistence of sign use at different sites along the Yellow River throughout the Neolithic and up to the Shang period, when a complex writing system appears. He emphasised that he was not suggesting the Neolithic symbols had the same meanings as Shang characters they resembled... The shells come from graves where, in 1999, the researchers unearthed ancient bone flutes. These flutes are the earliest musical instruments known to date.
by Paul RinconSites of Shang and Zhou Dynasties unearthed at construction site in JiangxiRecently, reporters learned from Pengze County, Jiangxi that a construction unit of the Pengze-Hukou Expressway recently unearthed a large number of stoneware including stone axes, stone chisels and net sinkers, and ceramic ware such as kettles, pots, dings, spinning wheels and wrist straps, as well as a few cultural relics in the form of bronze spears while working in Mashan Village in Langxi Town of Pengze County.
People's Daily Online
December 12, 2008
To date, archeologists have already excavated over 80 square trial pits each covering an area of 25 square meters, with the total excavation area exceeding 2,000 square meters. According to excavation findings and verification by archeologists, this site was in existence during the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty, and is identified as the "Taimashan Site."
During the excavation, the archeologists discovered for the first time large-sized highland habitation sites of ancient humans, which prove that whole tribes existed around the Pengze basin in the south of the Yangtze River during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.Ancient ruins of salt-making from Shang and Zhou Dynasties found in ShouguangRecently, archeologists from the China Academy of Social Sciences and School of Archaeology and Museology from Peking University and Shandong Province visited and inspected archeological sites of salt-making at the Shuangwangcheng reservoir in Shouguang, Shandong Province. All the experts agree that the relics can be dated back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and preliminarily examinations conclude that these are important ancient ruins connected to the salt industry.
People's Daily Online
December 15, 2008
With over 80 sites covering 30 square kilometers the discovery of such densely distributed ancient ruins connected to salt-making is the first of its kind in China's archaeological history.
The ancient ruins found in this archaeological exploration are relatively intact and the cultural relics unearthed have been mainly helmet-shaped potteries, with most of them belonging to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
The excavation has provided important information for the study of the ancient salt industry and ancient social life.
Well, accoding to the VERY controversial book 1421, they did, in fact, colonize. Supposedly some tribes in South and North America spoke Chinese.
Of course, this isn't particularly well documented...
they may own the west coast and hawaii soon anyways.

Chris Umiastowski is the growth investor for Globe Investor's Strategy Lab. Follow his contributions here and view his model portfolio here.
About two weeks ago, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors Inc., took the stage to answer questions from his audience at the annual meeting of shareholders. One investor's question ended up revealing a lot about Elon Musk and the value of long-term thinking.
Mr. Musk has often said that he hopes other big automotive companies will launch high-quality electric vehicles to rival Tesla's because it would benefit the planet to move away from carbon consumption. The investor asked how Mr. Musk plans to balance his goal of getting a greener planet with his fiduciary duty to shareholders. Is it possible for a CEO to hold this belief and take actions that help the competition while also meeting his obligations to act in a manner that maximizes shareholder value?
At that shareholder meeting, Mr. Musk said he was considering doing something controversial with the company's patents. Nine days later, he announced that all of Tesla's patents shall be freely available to anyone who wishes to use them in good faith.
But don't patents have immense value? A consortium of Google Inc.'s competitors, including Apple Inc. and BlackBerry Ltd., paid billions to buy a portfolio of Nortel Networks Corp. patents to protect themselves against Android. Qualcomm Inc.'s entire business model is based on charging royalties for its control over much intellectual property in the mobile communications industry. How can Mr. Musk justify shedding the armour that is supposed to protect them against the competition?
I think the answer lies in taking a very long-term perspective on the industry. The bulk of Tesla's patents relate specifically to electric vehicles. Yet the vast majority of cars sold burn gasoline. As Mr. Musk explained, competitors are not anywhere close to having electric cars represent even 1 per cent of their total sales. If the competition is too busy making gasoline cars, Tesla's patents don't have much value to shareholders.
Instead of using patents to guard itself from competition that practically doesn't exist, Elon Musk has effectively taken his company's patents and started an open-source movement for electric cars, which may, in fact, create more competition. If the world is going to move toward electric vehicles, then competition must exist. It's essential. No car company can own the entire market. Tesla can boost shareholder value by accelerating its own growth and by building a powerful brand. By donating its patents to competitors, it hopes to accelerate the growth of the entire electric vehicle market. When meaningful competition exists I believe it will coincide with a trend toward consumers becoming much more open to the idea of battery-powered cars. If Tesla is the premium brand in this market, shareholders should enjoy the benefits.
Tesla Motors expects to deliver about 35,000 cars to customers around the world this year. This is a drop in the bucket compared to annual new vehicle production, which is approaching 100 million. Tesla would have to grow 28-fold to reach 1 per cent market share. Smart CEOs do not worry about competition when the effect of this competition won't represent an obstacle to growth until very far into the future.
While I can appreciate a healthy debate around the valuation of Tesla's shares, I think the controversy around what they've done with their intellectual property sends a strong message about long-term thinking. As an investor who aims to hold companies for decades, I like it when I see management behaviour that aligns with my thinking.
Much of Wall Street is focused on next quarter, where most CEOs are at least thinking about the next few years. But there are a smaller number of great executives who are thinking well into the future. When I see evidence of this happening, whether it be Facebook acquiring WhatsApp to potentially dominate mobile instant messaging or Google investing in self-driving cars, I tend to follow these stories with great interest. I want my investment portfolio aligned with where the world is going, not where it is today.
Disclosure: I own shares in Tesla Motors, and also hold it in my Strategy Lab model portfolio.Report Typo/Error

I am glad to write a few words in commendation of this book. It is a careful study of a subject which is both vitally important and extremely difficult. There is a danger that harm may be done to the cause of peace by the lack of idealism among those who know and a lack of knowledge among idealists. This book is an expression of their combination and deserves a wide public.
The book is such a scientific study of the development of armaments in the world order as may well suggest the method of approach which must be preliminary to new abolition.
This book is of great interest as a new approach to the problem of disarmament--a problem which should be studied from all angles and by all nations before the meeting of the Disarmament Conference.
Vous me demandez quelques mots de présentation pour votre ouvragre: il'est de ceux qui se présentent d'eux même! Je l'ai lu à mon premier moment de loisir, et sa lecture m'a intéressé plus que je ne pourrais dire. Vous nous avez apporté, pour la première fois je pense, une démonstration vraiment documentée de l'importance en cette matière de ce "facteur temps," de ce "Conversion lag" qu'il est tout à fait essentiel de prendre constamment en considération.
J'espère que tous ceux qui auront--prochainement, je veux le souhaiter--le redoutable honneur de rédiger la convention de réduction des armements vous lisent. Ils auront l'avis d'un expert dont la science égale la bonne volonté, et qui mérite ainsi doublement d'être écouté.
It is to be hoped that all who are interested in Disarmament will read this book for it attacks the problem from a new angle. Discussions have till now proceeded from the political point of view. We have generally assumed that the way of achieving disarmament is by reduction either of numbers or of cost, or both. The main difficulties considered have been the extent to which reduction would be accepted and the method of ensuring that a reduction once accepted would be carried out. Round these central difficulties have raged the controversies about conscription, 'supervision, security, and the rest. But another and equally essential matter has been largely overlooked which our author calls disarmament of type. Granted a scheme of disarmament resting on numbers and cost is in force it will still be possible to renew competition with all its attendant evils by improvement of type, by better methods of manufacture, by new inventions, especially perhaps in the domain of chemical warfare. Here is a formidable problem. How will it advantage the world if the armies, navies and air forces are reduced both in number and cost, both in personnel and material, if by the

There is a nuclear bomb buried in the east, and it's been there for almost 50 years.
Crews at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Wayne County spent months looking for it then just gave up.
Although there is very little chance of the Atomic Bomb Core going off, the fact of the matter is it's still there.
Randy Sauls is a Wayne County historian. He says a B-52 Bomber from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base was doing an airborne alert mission. Training exercises with real live nuclear bombs. The B-52G had a structural failure of its right wing after a leak in a fuel cell. Published reports say the plane came crashing to the ground from 10 thousand feet. Three airmen died while 5 escaped with their lives.
The air force searched for the bomb for about six months. When they couldn't locate it they put an easement on the land. The state of North Carolina according to Randy Sauls comes out every so often and test the ground water to check for radiation.

5D stuck in AEB mode
Hi can anyone help me, I was experimenting shooting with aeb in manual mode on canon 54D mkIII but now I no longer have the option of returning to single brackets and can no longer amend the exposure setting using the wheel on the back as i had done previously.
I have been into Menu>SHOOT2 to amend the AEB exposure but now the single bracketing is greyed out and all i can do is amend the AEB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This question has not been answered yet.

Trying to balance
The doing
And the writing
About the doing
Not many
Stories left
That I can
Tell myself
I love being anyone else but me
Maybe I need to change a dose
I pull tides of bitterness
Like an evil moon
If I chance submersion
You chance
Being exposed
To my new form
Demand the moon
Get the cheese
Please God
Please say
I'm like no other
Cracker jack idea
When we're all alone
What's my prize
For digging down deep
No cereal box treasure map
To happy
I'll make something of nothing
And get back to you
All new plans
Point at and laugh
The old new plans
Couldn't I exhale and be better?

The bus had been 19 hours and 12 minutes of wasted time.
"What were you thinking?"
"I don't know. I obviously wasn't thinking, judging by your reaction."
"Go home."
She was now seated on the bench at the bus station, under the pretense of waiting for the next bus. In her hands, she held the pocket watch.
"That one."
"This one? Miss, this one is an expensive watch."
"I know."
"Ok. Cash or charge?"
"Is it extra to engrave?"
"No, Miss. It's complimentary. I will get you a sheet of paper."
For he whose I am.
Counting her money again, she hesitated from buying a ticket. Why did she think he would come and stop her? Just because she came so far? Held back this long, her tears were heavy, overripe and finally fell like devastating bombs on the dry skin of her hands.
Feeling better after her cry, she stood up with purpose to buy her ticket and return home. She would write the whole thing off as an experience, an adventure, and fodder for her work. Maybe she would even get a book out of it…
"Violet!" Then, he was there.

Roach v. Hulings
Annotate this Case

- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Roach v. Hulings, 41 U.S. 16 Pet. 319 319 (1842)
Roach v. Hulings
41 U.S. (16 Pet.) 319
The jury, in rendering its verdict, failed to respond separately to the distinct issues it was sworn to try. The defendant had pleaded three pleas: 1. covenants performed; 2. payment; 3. setoff greater in amount than the claim of the plaintiff. On these three pleas, the jury gave a general verdict of damages in favor of the plaintiff, on which judgment was entered. In the circuit court, no exception was taken to the verdict. The counsel for the plaintiff contended that this was error in the circuit court which was properly to be corrected in the supreme court. By the court. Objections of this character that are neither taken at the usual stage of the proceedings nor prominently presented on the face of the record, but which may be sprung upon a party after an apparent waiver of them by his adversary, and still more after a trial on the merits, can have no claim to the favor of the Court, but should be entertained in obedience only to the strict requirements of the law. The three issues were joined on affirmative allegations by the defendant, and the verdict was for the plaintiff on these issues. Admitting that this verdict is not affirmatively responsive to these issues, it virtually answers and negatives them all, for if all or either of them had been untrue, the verdict was untrue. Should the judgment, then, be arrested, this would be done neither from a necessity to guard the merits of the controversy nor from the principles of sound inductive reasoning, but solely in obedience to an artificial and technical rule, which, however it may be founded in wisdom and promotive of good in general, yet, like all other rules, is capable of producing evil when made to operate beyond the objects of its creation.
The third section of the Act of Congress of 1789 to establish the judicial courts of the United States, which provides that no summary writ, return of process, judgment, or other proceedings in civil cases in the courts of the United States shall be abated, arrested, or quashed for any defect or want of form &c., although it does not include verdicts eo nomine, but judgments are, and the language of the provision "writ, declaration, judgment, or other proceedings in civil causes," and further, "such writ, declaration, pleading, process, judgment, or other proceeding whatsoever," is sufficiently comprehensive to embrace every conceivable step to be taken in a cause, from the emanation of the writ down to the judgment. Both the verdict and the judgment in this case are within the terms and intent of the statute, and ought to be protected thereby.
In trials at law, while it is invariably true that decisions on the weight of the evidence belongs exclusively to the jury, it is equally true that whenever instructions upon evidence are asked from the court to the jury, it is the right and duty of the former to judge of the relevancy, and, by necessary implication to some extent, upon the certainty and definiteness of the evidence proposed. Irrelevant, impertinent, or immaterial statements a court cannot be called upon to admit as the groundwork of instructions; it is bound to take care that the evidence on which it shall be called upon to act is legal, and that it conduces to the issue on behalf of either the plaintiff or the defendant.
The defendant in error instituted an action of covenant, in the Circuit Court of the County of Washington, against Philip Roach, upon certain articles of covenant. Before the trial of the cause, the defendant died, and his administrator became the defendant in the suit, a verdict and judgment were rendered for the plaintiff, and the defendant prosecuted this writ of error.
The case is fully stated in the opinion of the court.

KRI Report Wins the Gold
Richard Steinberg 270004HRBG email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 349 Visits
My last posting spoke to one of COSO's two recently issued guidance reports on enterprise risk management. The first provides approaches for getting started on an ERM initiative, and while it's based on good intentions and provides useful information, especially to smaller companies, in Olympic games terms with only two entrants, that report gets the silver. The second report, Developing Key Risk Indicators to Strengthen Enterprise Risk Management – How Key Risk Indicators Can Sharpen Focus on Emerging Risk wins the gold – by a good margin.

Love, Marriage, and the Family
A mother cradling her child, bent over in a posture of loving solicitude: If there is another image that will immediately be recognized by human beings of any age or culture and arouse in them comparable feelings of identification, we cannot think what it could be.
-- Brigitte and Peter Berger
The family is the basic unit of any society; it produces its new members and socializes them in its ways. Marriage is a legal contract conferring society's blessing on the reproductive couple and signifying the couple's pledge of fidelity to one another. Although there have been and are a myriad of marriage forms and motivations for marriage in different cultures and in different times, when not constrained by economic, political, or social considerations, the primeval motivation is love between man and woman. We have been fashioned by natural selection to pair-bond, and the epoxy of that bond is love.
There is something of a crisis in the nuclear family that concerns those who value it, but it is too rooted in human nature not to remain the predominant family form in the Western world and in much of the rest of the world also. Adjustments have been made to the nuclear family over the years, and others will be made according to environmental contingencies. Mating and parental patterns in all animal species have always been dependent on the interrelationships between organisms and their environments, with the general pattern being set by the ecology existing in their environments of evolutionary adaptation ( Rees & Harvey, 1991).
No naïve claims are made that there are genes coding for a particular form of family system. Family forms and marriage patterns are cultural, with the dominant forms and patterns presumably offering the "best fits" with a par-

¼teaspoon black peppercorns
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 ¼ pounds beet greens, Swiss chard or a mix of both
11 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, more for greasing pan
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
9 ounces sharp cheddar, preferably clothbound, grated (2¼ cups)
2 to 3 tablespoons English mustard powder, to taste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce, more as needed
¼ cup rolled oats
3 Tablespoons toasted hazelnuts, chopped
1½ teaspoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1. Combine beets, thyme branches, garlic and peppercorns in a large pot. Cover with cold salted water.

Add greens and cook for two minutes (do this in batches if necessary); remove with tongs and transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water. Drain well.
2. Once beets are cool enough to handle, peel them and slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slices. Roughly chop greens' leaves and stalks.
3. Prepare the béchamel: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 5 tablespoons butter. Stir in 2
3 cup flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for two minutes; roux should smell cooked but remain white. Slowly whisk in milk until mixture forms a thick, smooth sauce. Stir in 8 ounces of cheddar (2 cups) until melted. Stir in mustard powder, Worcestershire and Tabasco. Season with salt to taste.
4. Make the crumble topping: In a small bowl, stir together remaining 2
3 cup flour, the oats and the hazelnuts. Use your fingers to work in 6 tablespoons butter, the remaining 1 ounce cheddar (¼ cup) and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. It should be a mixture of large and small pieces. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper and the nutmeg.
5. When you are ready to assemble the dish, heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart gratin or baking dish. Spread a layer of béchamel on the bottom. Top with a layer of beets, followed by a layer of greens and stalks. Season generously with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with thyme leaves. Spread another layer of béchamel on top and repeat process to fill dish (you will end up with three or four layers). Cover entire surface with crumble topping. Transfer dish to oven and bake until bubbling and golden brown in spots, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Portions of the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail, a popular paved route for runners, walkers and cyclists that winds through the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway, will be preserved and enhanced after the city buys four parcels totaling nearly 15 acres.
The Vancouver City Council voted unanimously on Monday to spend $890,000 to acquire the land, using revenue collected from park impact fees.
It did not go by unnoticed, however, that the city was spending money to buy more parks land when it can't afford to maintain the current inventory of parks. Voters last month rejected a request to establish a new tax to support parks and recreation, funding for which has been slashed.
Since 2008, the number of full-time employees at the Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation Department has
been cut in half. Parks funding accounts for approximately 6 percent of the city's general fund, down from 10 to 11 percent.
During Monday's meeting, Stephanie Turlay, wife of Councilor Bill Turlay, and Carolyn Crain, who lost a bid for the state Legislature last month, questioned the wisdom of buying the land.
They were told park impact fees, which are paid by developers, can only be used to acquire parks and open space, not maintain existing parks. Councilor Turlay said he'd like local legislators work to get the state law changed so the city would have more freedom to spend the money. Councilor Larry Smith said there have been attempts to change the law, but lobbyists always succeed in blocking proposed legislation.
If the city doesn't spend park impact fees in 10 years, the city has to return the fees to the developer, plus interest.
Vancouver has 10 park districts and about $16 million in park impact fees.
Jean Akers, chief park planner, said money from four park districts will be used to buy the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway parcels.
Councilor Jeanne Stewart, who said it was a good time to buy property because prices are relatively low, asked if neighbors had been notified of the sale.
No, Akers said. Under state law, preliminary discussions about real estate transactions are one reason a council can meet in executive session, out of public view.
City Manager Eric Holmes reminded councilors the city hadn't bought anything yet, as staff was waiting for the council's approval, which it got with Monday's unanimous vote.
The city already owns land on either side of the parcels, Holmes said, and the purchases would make incremental additions to the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway, a system already being cared for by the city.
The west end of Burnt Bridge Creek Trail, which overlaps in parts with the Discovery Trail, starts at Fruit Valley Road and Bernie Drive and runs east for eight miles, ending in the area of Burton Road and Northeast 90th Avenue.
Of the land the city plans to buy, two adjacent parcels totaling 7.59 acres are in the western end of the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway. The land, which the city's buying from an estate, includes part of the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail, and a footpath up to Bernie Drive so residents don't have to walk down to Fruit Valley Road. The city has had a conditional easement on the property, Akers said, but wanted to buy it after the owner died.
The proposed purchase price, $300,000, was based on an independent appraisal.
The other two parcels are south of Burnt Bridge Creek, east of Leverich Park and north of state Highway 500.
One of the parcels, 4.98 acres, belongs to an elderly woman, Akers said. Her 1937 house is in disrepair and will be demolished, and her family will use the money to move the woman into a care facility. The proposed price is $450,000, based on an independent appraisal. Councilors questioned that price, and were told the land was particularly valuable because it could be cleared for up to 18 residences.
An adjacent parcel of 2.3 acres — proposed price $140,000 — is in foreclosure, Akers said. It has a 1952 residence proposed for demolition.
Those two parcels, Akers said, will help close a gap in the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway. Eventually the trail could be moved off Northeast 41st Street and the paved trail could be extended.
Smith said protecting the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway is part of the city's comprehensive plan.
"Burnt Bridge Creek is a showcase," he said. "There's not many communities that have an asset like that running through the city."
Smith added that the Parks Foundation of Clark County was created to raise money for parks maintenance. And maintaining the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway isn't as expensive as keeping up a city park with amenities such as playground equipment and picnic tables and grass that needs to be regularly mowed.
Akers said the workers from the city's public works department care for the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway, which includes stream restoration work. Money to pay for that comes out of the city's stormwater utility fees. The money to pay for ongoing maintenance of the properties was included in the 2013-14 budget, Akers said.
Mayor Tim Leavitt said the greenway is low-maintenance and has a high value.
According to a 2010 trail count, 253,955 trips are made to the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail annually, making the trail the third most-popular trail in the county behind the Columbia River Renaissance Trail and Salmon Creek Trail.

This tour operator was the first to get access to China over 30 years ago and the first to take a truck to Everest Base Camp on the Tibetan side. They have since expanded into 91 countries. Their product is driven by their clients because they listen to feedback and have to constantly evolve to provide a greater experience and better value. The exclusive centres they use have been grown organically and are often owned by ex-leaders. The holidays remain innovative, though you will now be travelling in a Mercedes 16-seater sprinter coach rather than a rusty old Bedford overland truck.
Accommodation and Meals:
We spend the week in the family-run Hotel Le Due Torri in Agerola, a relatively unknown area of Amalfi, so our guests are providing income to an area that does not usually benefit from tourism. The hotel recently installed solar panels which provide hot water for all rooms all year round. All the hotel food is homemade, using locally produced and sourced goods where possible, and guests often have the opportunity to learn from their hosts how to prepare a traditional Neapolitan pizza one evening. Where meals are not provided, there is the chance to support local businesses and to try some authentic, regional specialties. These include: antipasti, homemade pasta, delicious Neapolitan pizza and fresh seafood.
Local Craft and Culture:
We visit many places of interest including the city of Herculaneum, the Piazza Plebiscito and National Museum in Naples and Pompeii. All money spent here goes directly to maintaining these iconic historical sites and paying the wages of those who work there. Of course, a huge part of Italian culture is cuisine and this is reflected in locally crafted produce, some of which is unique to this region. Locally smoked mozzarella is a highlight and you will often find it with salads or on pizzas. If there is time, clients can visit a small mozzarella factory and learn about this traditional industry.
UK Office:
It all starts at home so we have first worked at reducing our carbon footprint in our UK Offices. Through energy conservation measures and recycling policies, we are proud to be actively reducing the waste produced and our impact on the environment. We support various projects all over the world to try and give something back to the places we visit.
Group Size:
This small group tour has a maximum of 16 participants, meaning that we have a low impact on the environments and communities we visit and are able to ensure that we do not disrupt or lead to the displacement of local people. The small number also allows us to stay in unique, family-run hotels that cannot benefit from coach tours and other mass tourism due to their limited sizes.
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.

A small home looks best when it is tidy and all things are in its place. 'A place for everything and everything in its place' is an excellent principle – especially when you want to bring order and purpose in kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. These are the areas where clutter and chaos happen almost weekly needing your attention maximum. When you have more things than you use, the storage space gets eaten up and it seems that in no time, you have an unmanageable house. All your lovely furniture just submerged under the clothes, every possible flat surface in the home overflowing with items you may not really need, kitchen sinks and counter tops groaning under the weight of unsorted groceries, canned food and what not.
Organize, organize and again organize is the only formula that can help along with furniture and accessories that double up as storage spaces which help reduce the clutter that build up at an unimaginable speed. When you have a small living space, furniture is the culprit that eats up into your floor surface. So organizing should start at furniture level. Check all your furniture. Check whether it is feasible to add storage options to your present furniture. When you are going in for new furniture, take time to check all options that are available. Today there are so many multipurpose furniture choices available that you must take advantage of it. Check online to check what can be ordered online as well what is locally available.
Try to minimize shelves that are free standing taking precious floor space. Opt for wall mounted options wherever possible. Check for ottoman, coffee tables, and end tables all with storage spaces underneath. Check for trundle bed and underneath storage as well headboard storage options in all your beds. Always look out for furniture that will do double duty, serve two purposes. Here are some beautiful looking LED lamps for dual purpose usage designed by Deger Cengiz. Called Dinos desk lamps, these use green renewable energy. This is a potholder for a plant as well a table task light. It is manufactured out of recycled felt. This has a flexible neck that can bend anyway you like. The innovative base can hold a plant to power the LED lamp or any other items for everyday use!
There is a galore of choice available in the local furniture shops and online shopping for you to select furniture and accessories to help organize your home better and more beautiful!

Edmond students pledge to embrace kindness during anti-bullying program
EDMOND — Betsy Sweiger is taking the challenge, because she's been the new kid before.
The sixth-grader at Sequoyah Middle School sat Monday with her mother, Mollyann, on the purple bleachers in the Cougar gym.
Betsy had told her mom about Rachel's Challenge, which had been introduced to her and her classmates earlier that day, and suggested they attend the parent and community meeting.
Rachel's Challenge is an anti-bullying program based on the writings of Rachel Scott, the first person killed in the shootings at Columbine High School in 1999.
The goal is to inspire students to replace acts of violence, bullying and negativity with acts of spect, kindness and compassion.
About a week after Rachel's funeral, her parents found an essay she had written a month before her death, calling for her peers to "start a chain-reaction of kindness and compassion."
In an hourlong presentation Monday, parents and students watched clips of Rachel's family and friends challenging others to follow that advice in their schools and communities.
Rachel, known in her high school for extending a kind hand to her classmates, wrote that the key to making her school and community a better place was by reaching out to those who were new, bullied or just having a rough day.
"I have this theory that if one person will go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same," she had written. "People will never know how far a little kindness will go."
Betsy said she was nervous on her first day of school, worried that she wouldn't make any friends. The number of students, more than 1,200, made the situation a bit overwhelming, especially since she was coming from a much smaller elementary school.
But she said the trick to getting to know people is to say hello.
"There were a couple people in my class who I would say hi to and we would just kind of talk and get to know each other," she said.
"I think it was a good message in the videos we watched that you can show kindness and that people should be more aware that you can be really kind to people. I try and be nice to everybody."
Sequoyah, Cheyenne Middle School and Westwood Elementary are the first schools in the Edmond school district to begin Rachel's Challenge. Central, Cimarron and Summit Middle schools are scheduled to start in the coming months.
Sequoyah principal Jason Galloway said he was moved when he heard the message behind Rachel's Challenge from her father, Darrell Scott.
"I'm always looking for the next thing to bring into the school and a lot of what we focus on is instruction and school improvement and academics, which is obviously very important," Galloway said.
"But when you start to think about what is it that could have a great and lasting impact on the school, I think this was a message that our kids needed to hear and something that we needed to focus on."
Galloway said Sequoyah students are mostly well-behaved, but there is always room for improvement.
He said reaction to the challenge was overwhelmingly positive, and students came up with several ways of spreading kindness: a welcoming committee for new students, making encouraging posters to hang in the halls and slipping kind notes into a fellow student's locker.
"Just going out and doing random acts of kindness," he said.
"We really just want to spread that vibe beyond the school."
