Dousman. THE CITY AND THE WORLD - June 6, 2016 ... predominantly German-speaking until the time of the First World War, when the inexorable forces of assimilation were boosted by ugly and short-sighted nativism to stamp out what had once been a vibrant extension of the deutsche Sprachraum in the New World.

Legislation to renew jobless benefits for America's long-term unemployed has cleared an initial Senate hurdle, but the bill's fate remains in doubt.
The vote on Tuesday was 60-37 to limit debate on the legislation.
But Republicans said they would try to change the measure so the $6.4 billion ($7.74b) cost would not add to deficits - a step that Democrats have so far rejected.
As the 2014 midterm election year begins, the White House has made it a major issue to renew the jobless benefits that lapsed last month for an estimated 1.3 million people.
President Barack Obama was expected to speak on Tuesday morning.
The three-month extension of benefits is part of a Democratic program ahead of the November election in which control of Congress is at stake.
Other issues for Democrats include raising the minimum wage, closing tax loopholes on the wealthy and corporations, and enacting other measures designed to demonstrate sympathy with those who suffered during the worst recession in decades.
As drafted, the bill would restore between 14 weeks and 47 weeks of benefits averaging US$256 weekly.
Without action by Congress, thousands more each week would feel the impact as their state-funded benefits expire, generally after 26 weeks.
Senator Jack Reed said many affected are middle-class, middle-aged people who never thought they would wind up in the situation of long-term unemployment.

You have children? Do you dress them up in space monkey suits? Donna Reese is to be congratulated, so what if she gets a littl efired up at the injustice of the MSD Board. Her full court press against Golde boy and the Board is paying dividends. Maybe some of the other new MHS supporters on the Board will also resign.
Keep up the good work Donna, and if you read any of this Topix crap, don't pay any attention to people like the Orange Space Monkey (who is obviously a nut).

That Orange Space Monkey is probably that Christina Silvaggi Webster teacher from Asbury that faked having cancer. She went off about that last year when I asked about what the board is doing about that teacher from some other poster. I think she maxed out the Topix character limit in her reply. It was that long....lol
She popped up last year talking about her hatred of neo-conservatives and religion. She doesn't like Jesus and likes to spend money...thats some Monkey! Considering that....I'm sure she's keeping the divorce attorneys in business.

No, I am not sharing comments because I have not found a comment worth responding. Most of the comments here have been bashing and so negative that it sickens me. It is not debate, not discussion, not even conversation. Even the people I disagree with I do not personally trash. You can check my other posts. I simply say that I do not feel they are appropriate people for a school board. I certainly do not want them making decisions that will affect the education of my kids because I don't feel they actually care about education. Good enough?

Teaching with Third Grade Worksheets
In third grade, students will be asked to work more independently as they piece together the skills they have learned to complete more complex tasks. The worksheets above target key skills, such as multiplication, and will help kids practice on their own. Here is a run-down of some of the key skills covered in third grade:
- Language Arts: This year, kids will be introduced to more literary genres. They will also be given more tools for organizing their thoughts about what they have read. Third grade writers will create personal narratives, stories and reports on famous people or interesting animals.
- Math: Knowing the times tables is one of the most important math skills third graders will master this year. This will be crucial for helping them to build the math fluency for more complex math in the upper elementary grades. Kids will also continue their exploration of division, fractions, and decimal numbers.
- Science: During this year, third graders study more complex scientific subjects, such as the food chain and states of matter. They will also take a closer look at the globe, as they learn to identify land masses and bodies of water.
- Social Studies: Third graders are beginning to understand the ways in which people can interact with their environment. They will learn about modes of transportation and the ways that people communicate around the world and in their community.

A New Take on an Old Millennium
The subject of reconstructions of temperature variations of the past millennium has been discussed many times before on this site (see e.g. here, here, here, and here). Despite the apparent controversy, the basic conclusion–that the global and hemispheric-scale warmth of the past few decades appears anomalous in a very long-term context–has stood up remarkably well in many independent studies (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Reconstructions of Northern Hemisphere temperatures for the last 1000 years (various colored curves) compared with instrumental record (black curve).
[source: Wikipedia] (click to enlarge)
This is not to say that all estimates agree in their details. Indeed, there is a fair scatter among the various published estimates. Some of these differences are believed to reflect differences in seasonality and spatial emphasis. Past summer, extratropical temperature changes appear, for example, to have have differed significantly from annual temperature changes over the entire (tropical and extratropical) Northern Hemisphere, and tropical Pacific Sea Surface Temperatures appear to have varied oppositely with temperatures in the extratropical regions of the globe. See for example the review paper by Jones and Mann (2004), in particular the discussion and references in section 5.3 therein. Some differences appear to be related to the particular method used to "calibrate" the proxy data against modern instrumental records. While the various methods can be tested with climate model simulations , it would arguably be more satisfying if inferences could be obtained in a manner which bypasses the difficult issue of calibration entirely, and also eliminates any need to establish the precise seasonality of information reflected by the various available proxy records.
This is what Osborn and Briffa have done in their article "The Spatial Extent of 20th Century Warmth in the Context of the Past 1200 Years", which appears in the Feb 10 issue of the journal Science. The article uses a rigorous statistical methodology to re-examine the question of whether late 20th century warmth is anomalous in the context of the past 1200 years. This is done in a manner that does not require the explicit calibration of the proxy records. In essence, the authors have revisited a question posed earlier in a paper by Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas (2003: see our previous discussion here), investigating whether or not evidence from past proxy records of temperature support the existence of past intervals of warmth with the widespread global scale of 20th century warming. The Soon and Baliunas (2003) paper was heavily criticized in the scientific literature (e.g. Mann et al, 2003) for failing to distinguish between proxy evidence of temperature and drought or precipitation, and for not accounting for whether temperature anomalies in different regions were contemporaneous or not.

Grandson's win sparks flood of calls
Relevant offers
People around the world have been ringing Blenheim couple Wim and Riet van Velthooven to celebrate with them after their grandson Simon van Velthooven won bronze at the London Olympics yesterday.
Mrs van Velthooven said the phone had not stopped ringing since her grandson and Dutch cyclist Teun Mulder claimed joint bronze medals after a photo finish in the men's kierin final at 5am.
"We've had about 50 phone calls, every time I put the phone down it rings again. They've been coming in from England, Holland, Sydney even South Africa."
The couple had endured a "scary" few minutes, while a photo finish between van Velthooven and Mulder was declared a draw, but Mrs van Velthooven said she always had a feeling her grandson had done enough to claim the medal.
Despite getting up at 2am to watch the semifinal and final races the pair had not slept since, spending the whole day celebrating, she said. They had hung a New Zealand flag outside their Springlands home and were planning to round off the celebrations by sharing some champagne with friends last night.
"We had about three hours sleep, but it only happens once in our life time so it doesn't matter. I'm glad we could see it, it's been wonderful."
In between the other phone calls she had spoken briefly with Simon's father in London and said Simon was ecstatic with the result and enjoying a chance to relax at a family dinner.

Another one of Andreessen Horowitz's seemingly endless supply of gold-tinged start-ups whose future is supposed to be theirs to lose has come out of start-up hiding to proclaim the existence of its newfangled SaaS-style data-warehouse-as-a-service for Big Data analytics running initially on Amazon.
It's called BitYota - a name derived from the combination of the smallest element of computer storage and the yotta, the biggest number, or 1024 - and besides Andreessen Horowitz BitYota's $12 million in seed and Series A funding comes from Globespan Capital, the Social+Capital Partnership, Dawn Capital, Crosslink Capital, Morado Ventures and individual investors like Yahoo founder Jerry Yang; Yahoo board member and former eBay COO, angel investor Maynard Webb; investor and financial writer Graham Summers; and MapReduce BitYota-like start-up ClearStory Data founder and Marc Andreessen buddy Sharmila Mulligan, who's evidently spreading her bets on Big Data analytics.
BitYota was one of eight start-ups hand-selected by Amazon to be showcased at re:Invent, the Amazon Web Service (AWS) inaugural customer and partner event in Las Vegas this week, where AWS happened to announce Redshift, its own strategic data warehouse service in the cloud currently in closed beta.
It's unclear if that surprised BitYota, which has garnered six beta customers in the last few months including an ad tech, an edu tech and a mobile house. All it can really do is characterize Amazon's move as validation.
The start-up says its widgetry is designed to run on cloud infrastructure without compromising functionality or scalability. It plans to expand its service to other public clouds besides Amazon in the near future and with Redshift in the offing guess it'll have to.
BitYota dramatically claims its SaaS platform frees Big Data "from the shackles of Big Costs and Big Headaches" and makes its analytics solution accessible in the fastest, most affordable way to the most users, with no compromise on functionality or service levels.
Its attributes include one-click data integration, fast analytics at scale and accessibility using familiar tools.
It was built from the ground up around its own shared-nothing massively parallel relational database and is supposed to unite the feature-rich functionality of a full-scale data warehouse with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of Amazon's cloud infrastructure so any company can unleash the value of their data to gain insights and make better business decisions.
BitYota figures it's got a fundamentally improved approach for those looking to harness the power of Big Data analytics. Key features include:
- Affordable SaaS: Customers no longer have headaches about hardware provisioning or maintaining homogeneous configurations; software versions, upgrades and installations; database administrators manage and maintain the throughput of workloads; advance planning for growth and burst needs; and concurrent users.
- Click Data Integration: Customers can load data from data sources such as S3, NoSQL stores and RDBMs and combine all their data including event logs, user profiles and transactions in a single place in the cloud. BitYota auto-detects varying data formats and schemas; understands the rate of arrival/change of new data and seamlessly loads it on a pre-determined schedule.
"Companies across every spectrum have an undeniable need to use data to unlock new sources of economic value but relatively few companies have invested sufficient time, money or people to do this right," BitYota CEO Dev Patel, who worked on Hadoop at Yahoo, said. "We believe that data and analytics should be broadly accessible to everyone inside the company and it shouldn't take a fortune to analyze data. I'm proud to say that today BitYota launched a data warehouse-as-a-service that allows just that. We are a cost-effective, self-managing and intuitive service that empowers users to work with their own data in familiar ways, with little retooling or disruption."
The starter widgetry costs $1,500 a month for five users starting with 10 EC2 compute unit and 500GB. It's capable of five concurrent queries. There's a week's free trial on a smaller configuration at www.bityota.com/pricing/.
The market for Big Data technology and services is supposed to grow from $3.2 billion in 2010 to $16.9 billion in 2015, at a 40% CAGR. The forecast is split between 34.2% software, 27.3% servers and 61.4% storage.
BitYota's addressable target market is supposed to be a portion of the $5.8 billion operating on public clouds or roughly $3 billion.
It has visions of being to data warehousing what Salesforce has been to customer relationship management.
However, its immediate market would be companies with relatively small data warehouses, or folks already generating their data on Amazon cloud, if Amazon doesn't gobble them all up.
The company, which so far has 15 people, was founded in 2011 by executives and senior engineers with Big Data experience from Yahoo, Oracle, Veritas/Symantec, Informix, BMC, Kabira/Tibco and Twitter.
One of its founders, chief of cloud services Soren Riise, was an honest-to-God rocket scientist at the European Space Agency. Another co-founder, CTO Harmeek Bedi, used to be a lead database architect at Oracle and Informix after IBM bought it.
More and more companies are looking to microservices as an architectural pattern for breaking apart applications into more manageable pieces so that agile teams can deliver new features quicker and more effectively. What this pattern has done more than anything to date is spark organizational transformations, setting the foundation for future application development. In practice, however, there are a number of considerations to make that go beyond simply "build, ship, and run," which changes ho...

There's nothing quite like your doctor being in the UAW, isn't there?
At the risk of overreaching, may I present to you the case of Michigan day care workers. The state of Michigan gives low-income families subsidies for day care. A state agency, in conjunction with the United Auto Workers, claims that these subsidies make day care providers — even those working independently out of their homes — state employees subject to a collective bargaining bargaining agreement, and of course, union dues.
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy has a short video on the subject. Will a new government program (taxpayer subsidies for people earning up to 3 or 4 times the federal poverty level) be the lever for a claim that your doctor is a union employee?

From birdwatchers travelling across the globe to stargazers watching the planets from their bedrooms - everyone can now be a scientist.
The concept of citizen science is simple: anyone can collect data which scientists then use for their research. This means observations made by birdwatchers, fishermen, even insect lovers can count towards new scientific discoveries.
Some of the key areas that are really benefiting from citizen science are climate change, biodiversity and environmental studies.
'One very, very nice example is a project in Germany where they ask a lot of people to collect mosquitoes,' said Professor Johannes Vogel of the European Citizen Scientist Association and Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany.
'We all hate to be bitten by these things. Once you've killed one, you can send it in and they tell you which species it is. That is to map the distribution of mosquitoes under climate change scenarios.'
That's especially important because as mosquito populations move into new areas due to climate change, they can bring diseases like malaria and yellow fever. Knowing in advance where they're likely to invade allows governments to take steps to protect as many people as possible, such as setting up information campaigns and vaccination clinics.
UK-based Open Air Laboratories (OPAL) has become the largest citizen science project in the world. Since 2007, over 850 000 people have been involved, collecting over 50 000 records by studying things like earthworms and lichens.
In Germany, bug lovers at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, of which Prof. Vogel is the Director-General, have set up a citizen science association called ORION Berlin, which catches insects, identifies them and makes the information available to scientists.
'Citizen science wants to basically bring out the science in everybody.'
Professor Johannes Vogel, European Citizen Scientist Association
Members from all walks of life meet for monthly presentations, weekend trips and guided tours where they capture insects and then preserve them. Later, the insects are uploaded to various databases where researchers can easily get their hands on the information.
'I'm a free-time scientist,' said Jens Esser, chairman of ORION Berlin, which was set up in 1890, meaning this citizen science society is more than a century old.
By day, he's a history and biology teacher, and at the weekends he collects insects using beating trays, nets and jars, which will be added to databases to further scientific research. It's the same story for all 70 members, who range in age from 10 to 80.
'We have some young people in our society and we try to train them on our weekend trips and try to teach them the methods to catch butterflies and insects. In the winter meetings we show them how to prepare and preserve the beetles and butterflies,' he said.
Citizens shouldn't worry about quality control either. According to Prof. Vogel: 'If you collect bucket loads of data, really a lot of data, then artificial intelligence systems can take care of data quality.
'You can write mathematical algorithims that can help you discriminate between wrong and right data.'
More and more diverse citizen science projects are springing up in Europe, such as studies on porcupines in Italy and on roadkill in Austria.
Under Horizon 2020, the EU has set aside funding for so-called citizens' observatories, which aim to improve environmental monitoring by combining innovative technologies with data gathered by individuals via their smarphones or laptops.
For example, the Citclops and WeSenseIt projects let citizens report on water quality and coastal issues using smartphone apps, and the OMNISCIENTIS project is assessing bad smells found in Europe. It is hoped that these observatories will not only help monitor environmental conditions but also lower the cost of such information-gathering and ensure better decision-making at policy level.
Other EU-funded initiatives include the Socientize project, which aims to coordinate all those involved in citizen science in order to make the whole process run more smoothly.
'The scope (for citizen science projects) is growing exponentially,' said Prof. Vogel. And they're ambitious – ORION's future plans include mapping all the insects in the botanical gardens in Berlin, which could mean capturing and identifying over 1 000 different kinds of bugs.
Prof. Vogel thinks that the scientific community needs to embrace citizen scientists, to start training people, and showing them how to take part.
'Everybody is a citizen scientist. Science is not the prerogative of men in white suits,' he said. Over 53 % of all Europeans are interested in science, according to figures from a 2013 Eurobarometer survey conducted on behalf of the EU, and Prof. Vogel thinks that they should be encouraged to get involved.
'We all have the capacity to think scientifically, we all have the capacity to conduct experiments and share that knowledge with others,' he added. 'And citizen science wants basically to bring the scientist out in everybody.'
The European Citizen Science Association brings together organisations from 17 EU Member States and other countries to encourage the growth of the citizen science movement around the world.
It works with museums, research institutes, citizen science initiatives and universities to train citizens and encourage them to take part in data collection and research projects.
The EU has outlined its plans for a European Open Science Cloud that will bring together existing infrastructures and open up scientific data across disciplines and across Member States.

Madonna to Auction Abstract Painting to Support Girls' Education Around the World
Madonna is selling an abstract painting from her art collection for good cause. The pop singer will donate proceeds from the sales to the Ray of Light Foundation to fund an education project for girls in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries where education for females is rare.
"I cannot accept a world where women or girls are wounded, shot or killed for either going to school or teaching in girls' schools. We don't have time to be complacent," she says in a statement. "I want to trade something valuable for something invaluable - Educating Girls!"
Bought by the Material Girl at an auction in 1990, the 1921 Cubist masterpiece by French artist Fernand Leger is expected to fetch $5 -7 million. It will be displayed in Hong Kong and London before being auctioned by Sotheby's in New York during an Impressionist and Modern Art sale on May 7.
Madge recently visited Malawi with the two children she adopted from the poverty-stricken country. The performing artist dubbed the country's largest international philanthropic donor visited the schools she helped to fund, along with David Banda, adopted in 2006 and Mercy James, in 2009.
She also talked to President Joyce Banda to discuss the alleged mismanagement of her charity project that initially aimed at building schools in the African country. The issue was brought to attention after Education minister Eunice Kazembe said her team built classroom blocks, and not schools.
Trevor Nielson, the singer's philanthropy manager, said in her defense, "The schools are built to the exact national standards of Malawi, like every other Malawian school. The bottom line is that 3,800 children are going to school now who were not going to school before."
Madonna is not the only Hollywood star who is supporting girls' education outside the United States. Actress Angelina Jolie and TV mogul Oprah Winfrey have both done the same, building schools in Afghanistan and South Africa respectively.
It's recently revealed that Angie would donate proceeds from the sales of her jewelry line to fund the all-girl school she built in Afghanistan. As for Oprah, her good intention was once marred after a staff member at her school was accused of assaulting students.
