Ever wonder how many grapes it takes to produce 1 bottle of wine? Let's start in the vineyard with an average of 3 tons per acre, or 6000 pounds. This will yield 495 gallons of juice which will be fermented and fill about 8 barrels. Each 60 gallon barrel will fill about 285 bottles or 24 cases. This equates to 2.4 pounds of grapes needed to fill 1 bottle.
Eola Hills produces approximately 125,000 gallons of wine a year, and is the fifth largest producer in the state among approximately 400 wineries. Oregon ranks 3rd in the U.S. for number of wineries, 5th for production output, and have the highest per ton value of grapes.

Sierra is glad her days off have finally come. She loves being a nurse, but after working two years on the oncology unit, the pressures of changing shifts, frequent understaffing and late stays to finish paperwork are taking their toll. Sierra frequently feels tired, and the attitudes of coworkers irritate her. But she knows she will be refreshed and ready to face work again after her vacation at the beach.
Eric, out of school five years, is feeling comfortable with his role as a staff nurse on a busy step-down unit, as well as with the charge position he took on weekend shifts. However, the days off that used to bring Eric back to work ready to give his best don't refresh him anymore. He enjoys work, but seeing people with severe cardiac disease bothers him. He is angry at his patients for what he perceives to be their increasingly demanding natures or unwillingness to make lifestyle changes. Although his friends are supportive and listen to his frustrations, talking with them isn't as helpful as it used to be.
Rita just can't shake the fatigue, sadness and emptiness that consumes her waking hours. When she first started working on the emergency room trauma team, it was exciting responding to emergencies. Now, as the patients come in, it almost feels as though she's being injured. Sometimes she wakes up after dreaming that she hears cries of pain or sees patients' and family members' agonized faces in her sleep. Rita knows she is one of the best nurses on the unit, but feels that if she would learn more, try a little harder and think faster she could decrease the patients' suffering. She wishes she could be like some of her coworkers who seem to numb their feelings and remain focused on the technical aspects of what needs to be done.

Well, you know, if you guys are good at this whole idea of Mendelian inheritance and some genes masking others and this concept of dominant genes and recessive genes and you're feeling really confident about that, that's too bad. Because I got to tell you, we have to start thinking in a different light. Now let's go back to Mendel's time. You know, it always surprises me and perplexes me and I certainly don't want to cast dispersions on a dead guy, but it always amazing me that Mendel got so lucky. He was very lucky. Think about it. All of his genes, clearly one dominated the other. None of his genes, they all sorted independently. And when you look back in the history books, it is said that he ordered 34 breeds or strains of these things. Chances are that he got a lot of data that didn't make sense. And that doesn't mean he cheated because I'm not even suggesting that. But the bottom line was Mendel gave data that worked perfect and as we've learned more and more about genetics, we found out that it's not always a perfect world, or it certainly is not always a black and white world or it's not always a dominant and recessive world.
You see, here's the thing. There's no such thing as a dominant gene. Sorry, I have to tell you that. Now we have to fix that a little bit, but you know what? Let me say that another way. Let me ask you a question. What makes a gene dominant? Why would yellow hide green? Why would smooth hide wrinkled? Why can I do things and here's one for you. This one I don't get. You know, in genetics classes all the time we use this example of like this. If you can roll your tongue, that's supposed to be a dominant gene, the ability to roll your tongue. I don't get that one because how can one gene control all these muscles. But it's really inherited like a dominant gene. Two people will have children and if neither of them can roll their tongue, their kids can't roll their tongue. I mean, it's really inherited like a dominant recessive gene. But if you know molecular genetics, which I think you probably know, you know something called the central dogma. And in the central dogma, you know that DNA makes RNA and RNA makes proteins. So when we're talking about a gene, at least a coating gene and you know also that there's a lot of different genes. There's regulatory genes which you passed on. There's a lot of different genes. But if you talk about a coating gene and therefore a protein, now I want you to start thinking about what is a dominant gene? How can a protein mask another protein?
Well, that is something that now I want to start talking a lot about, because genes don't mask each other. Genes make proteins. At least expressing genes do. How could one protein mask another and the answer is that really from what you know about biochemistry, it can happen. So now we've got to start looking at some of the other aspects of genetics and the pieces will start to fall into place. And I want to start out with a thing we call intermediate inheritance. In other words, inheritance that's kind of like doesn't seem to be dominant or recessive. And I want to give you an example of something called blending and another one called co-dominance and they're both called intermediate inheritance. Different books refer to them in different ways, but here's the point I want to make. Generically speaking, this is a case where neither gene dominates, or maybe both genes dominate. Let's see what I mean.
We'll start out with one kind of intermediate inheritance that occurs quite commonly in snapdragons, in flowers, okay? And this is often referred to as blending. Blended inheritance. And here's the thing. If I take a red snapdragon and I cross it with a white snapdragon, I get--now you're thinking, ah-ah! One's going to dominate the other. I get 100% pink. Blending, kind of like they believed before the days of Mendel. Are we going in this ugly circle? Well, no. Genes make proteins. Wow! If you think of this in terms of proteins, well then wait a second here. Then there's a red protein, a red pigment, and a white pigment. If I mix red and white, I get pink. This works. Well, that must mean there's a gene to make red and a gene to make white. But how are we going to make these genes? We can't call them Rr because one's not dominant over the other. We can't call them Ww so we've come up with a way to show intermediate inheritance types of genes. And here's the way.
We're going to say that C^R equals red and C^W equals white. C for color. All right. So let's do this. Let's look at the red. If we took that red and crossed it with the white, what's going to happen? Well, let's look at our pinks first. Maybe we should look at our pinks first. There was a cross between the red and the white so it must have gotten one red gene and one white gene because Mendel's laws are not going away just because we're going to call them something else. So we're going to say, Uh-uh. Pink must have C^R, C^W. That means that the red must have at least C^R and certainly the white must have a C^W, but if the red was a heterozygote, would it be red? No, it would be pink. And so we come to this situation right here. A case where neither red nor white dominates, but their protein products blend.
Let's take a look at that a little bit prettier. All right. So here's my red, C^RC^R. Here's my white, C^WC^W. What's going to happen is the gametes we are going to be only C^R from the red, only C^W from the white and therefore, we're going to get an F1 pink. Okay? Let's take a look at how that works in a Punnett square. So what we have is--oh, I'm going to draw the Punnett square for you. I almost gave away what I was going to do next. C^R, C^R C^W, C^W. Well, you can see we're going to get all--if I can take a short cut and you guys won't yell at me, R^WR^W. But now I have a question for you. Suppose we cross a C^RC^W with a C^RC^W. I want you to take a minute and do that right now.
So you think you've got an answer, huh? Let's take a look. Well, here's the thing. If we cross a C^RC^W, let's think of the gametes we're going to have. This is kind of cool. We can have two different gametes from Dad. We can have a C^RC^W, and for Mom, we can have a C^RC^W. Wow! How cool is this? Because now this is going to show us something that this is still Mendel's laws. Look, you guys. This is showing a way--remember back in the days when no one understood why certain genes reappeared? Well, look at what's happening here. Red and white reappear. From the C^RC^W, there's one parent; C^RC^W, there's the other parent. Well, look at what we can get. We're going to bring the Punnett square down and there's a C^RC^R. So from two pinks, we're getting a red. And we're getting a white because the C^WC^W, and we're getting 50% of our offspring a pink, C^RC^W. So we have C^RC^W right here and C^RC^W right here. Two pinks. So Mendel's laws of segregation and of alternate alleles work. It's just that we have to understand that one gene is not dominating the other.
Let me give you one more example of this. I'll show it here in cattle. There's a kind of a cool situation there where there's this kind of roan color. And it turns out that when you take a reddish--some of my students ask me, "I've never seen a red cow. What are they like? Fire engine red?" No, it's kind of a reddish maroon. Okay? And you cross it with a white, you get this very interesting combination called roan which is an intermediate color. But now, here's what we find. This doesn't blend. If you go up to that cow and look very carefully while it's asleep because you don't want to go up to a cow or bull and look at them while they're awake and look at their hairs, you find out that their hairs, some of their hairs are red and some of their hairs are not red. Sorry I don't have white. And so what happens is you have an expression of both genes. So the genes are co-dominating, they're both coming out.
So now this is just the first step. This is the baby step we're going to take as we start to look at modern genetics and the genetics beyond Mendel. But don't forget, his laws still hold.

Still, at least I'm in good company. As a little experiment, I decided to follow some models over Milan fashion week, half for my own amusement and half in the hope of soliciting some fascinating insider knowledge during showtime. OK, so the last one didn't work out too well.
What did I learn? 1) That models are no more or less boring than the rest of us. 2) That Jourdan Dunn, one of my favourites on account of being a Londoner who hasn't in the past been afraid to speak out against the industry's scant support of black models, is

Cheats and Walkthroughs
Cheats and Walkthroughs
According to translations of Japanese gaming blog Esuteru, From Software, creators of upcoming game Dark Souls, have an interesting plan to deal with gamers who play the game before its official release date: Murder them. In the game, of course.
Esuteru is reporting that level 145 "Black Phantoms" are roaming around the Dark Souls world, and the way-overpowered monsters mean instant death for anyone who sees them. Apparently, the characters are being controlled by game-devs to punish gamers who are somehow in the game before the official release date.
It's hard to tell if this story is true or not, but if it is accurate, it kind of sucks. I hate hearing any stories of publishers doing anything negative to people who break street dates. Most normal people don't have game release dates memorized, and many smaller retailers compete with big box stores by selling games early, so it's plausible that a gamer could walk into a Mom and Pop game store and say, "This game looks cool!" and walk out with a $60 game that is rendered all but unplayable through no fault of his or her own.
On the other hand, I understand part of the allure of Dark Souls is its head-crushing difficulty, and being killed by a pre-release mega monster would be kind of a badge of honor.
The game streets here in the U.S. on October 4, and if I see a copy early, I'm definitely going to check it out, just to see if these strange rumors are true for the US version!

25C3: Dan Kaminsky Invokes DNSSEC
Dan Kaminsky, front man of the DNS attacks band the middle of 2008, has delivered a retrospective at the 25th annual Chaos Communication Congress (25C3) on the background and process of DNS vulnerability. But he also set his sights on the future. And outside-the-box thinker Dan J. Bernstein also had a thing or two to say.
Kaminsky's talk at the Berlin hackers' meeting, that by its 25th year has become something of a legend, crowded an audience into the seats and aisles of Berlin's large Congress Center that could rival that of a keynote at an applied economics conference during the boom years. Without going into muchdetail on the DNS vulnerability issue per se (such as we have covered here), Kaminsky nevertheless announced some work of his that was under way. With the help of Internet veteran Paul Vixie, he had assembled around 15 DNS experts from the leading software makers into a room at Microsoft to discuss the consequences. The important thing for the participants was the simplicity of the solution so as to gain a better acceptance among system admins. If the DNS semantics would change even enough for just a percentage of hostnames not to be resolved, admins wouldn't bother to institute a patch. They would typically wait a few weeks after a vulnerability were announced before patching maybe half their systems. At that rate, about 75% of the systems would be patched, said Kaminsky proudly.
In retrospect, Kaminsky considers 2008 "not a good year for authentication." There were too many security holes whereby systems insufficiently tested the validity of domain requests. DNS was a big part of the problem, directly and indirectly, because many other Internet services, such as email and the WWW, depend on DNS. Many more applications participate in DNS Federations, which decentralize the DNS data over multiple authorities. Kaminsky provided a few examples: IPSEC keys, antispam blacklists and VoIP phone numbers. DNS was not originally designed for these solutions.
Kaminsky, who covered his topics more as an entertainer at times, didn't have any specific patent initiatives in mind. DNSSEC mightn't be elegant, but after all, could be part of the solution, by his opinion. Daniel J. Bernstein, well known in developer circles for his flawless code, but also feared for his release politics, presented his own solution, known as DNSCurve. Kaminsky nevertheless still saw a problem with the concept, because every request would then require too extensive a cryptographic operation. He doubted that heavily frequented nameservers could handle the load. It's yet to be seen whether in the foreseeable future we will truly encounter the oft repeated "end of the Internet as we know it."

WASHINGTON — Defense leaders warned a Senate committee yesterday that unless Congress undoes mandatory budget cuts scheduled to take effect on March 1, the Defense Department will face furloughs of civilian employees, reduced training, maintenance and flying hours, and possibly slashing health care for workers.
"Now the wolf is at the door," said Ashton B. Carter, deputy secretary of defense, who said the cuts are "purely the collateral damage of political gridlock."
Carter joined other defense leaders to testify yet again to the Senate Armed Services Committee about the impact of cuts of $1.2 trillion over the next decade. The first installment will total
$85 billion, with $46 billion from defense over the next seven months.
The cuts were created under the 2011 Budget Control Act, a bill that raised the debt ceiling in exchange for spending cuts. The cuts are designed to take proportionate, across-the-board cuts, with defense accounting for about half.
Carter and others on the panel said the effect on defense would be sweeping: Most of the 800,000 civilian employees would be furloughed for an average of one day per week for up to 22 weeks — resulting in a 20 percent pay cut for most. The Air Force would be forced to cut flying hours sharply. The Defense Department would be short between $2 billion and $3 billion for money to pay for employee health care.
And that's short term. Long term, military chiefs predicted a shrinking fleet for the Navy, fewer aircraft for the Air Force and an Army reduced by about 40 percent in combat power and forced to look at closing bases.
"None of us walk away or runs away from a crisis or a fight. That's not our nature," said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "But I will tell you personally — if ever the force is so degraded and so unready and then we are asked to use it, it would be immoral to use the force unless it's well-trained, well-led and well-equipped."
Defense leaders testified as news of North Korea testing another nuclear weapon was breaking. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., cited North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Mali, Egypt and Tunisia as other hot spots around the globe that require a strong U.S. defense.
"We are probably in a more unsettled period since the end of the Cold War than certainly I have ever seen," he said.

Using This Web Site
The Web site for Oliver Twist offers a wealth of resources for your students.
Essays and Interviews
Includes Who Was Charles Dickens?, a biography of Dickens; Down and Out in Victorian England, which provides historical context for the novel; and Stay Tuned: The Rise of a Killer Serial, which includes information about Victorian serialization, contemporary reviews of the serialized version of Oliver Twist, as well as the installment publishing schedule of the novel. These essays can provide background for your teaching and give students a context for viewing the series and for completing related research projects.
Who's Who
Provides information about each character in the production. A photo of each character is accompanied by information about who they are, an excerpt from Dickens's text describing them (if it exists), and information about -- and sometimes quotes from -- the actor. Students can use this section to help them keep track of the plot and characters. Ask students to compare the Dickens's description of the character with the actor's portrayal. Are the actors true to Dickens's intent?
Oliver's London
Puts the action of Oliver Twist on the map. This feature locates the action of the story on a map of London. Students can use it to help them follow along with the plot and visualize the story. By rolling over the different points on the map with a mouse, the user sees illustrations and background info about the locations.
A Dickens Timeline
This timeline will help students grasp Dickens's life in the context of his work and major world events. Exploring the timeline can help students understand how Dickens's work reflects his world and serves as social commentary. You might want to assign students to study another Dickens work and its historical context in greater depth: pairing the study of Hard Times with conditions during the Industrial Revolution, or American Notes or Martin Chuzzlewit with mid-19th-century American social history.
A Victorian Twister
Test your students' knowledge of Dickens! Students can play a series of four games that quiz them on Dickens's life and times and their familiarity with the plot and characters of Oliver Twist with suitable responses from a British peanut gallery.
From Novel to Film
Pairs sections of Dickens's text with the screenplay and actual video from the film. Students can use this section to explore the challenges of adapting a novel. You could assign students to go through a similar process, taking part of another novel or short story and turning it into a screenplay (and even videotaping it!).
The Forum
Have your students submit their thoughts about Alan Bleasdale's adaptation for posting in our Forum. Do they feel that Dickens would be happy with the film?
Offers additional Web- and book-based resources for teacher background and student research projects.

1-13-12 (Yes, it was a Friday)
The Wilmot Academic Decathlon team won it's second consecutive Regional and it's 4th in the 5 past years at UW-Whitewater.
In so doing the team secured an automatic bid to Wisconsin's 28th annual Academic Decathlon State Competition in March in Wisconsin Dells. The Panthers bested 10 other teams at the event that had Division-1 Sun Prairie placing 2nd overall and Division-2 Mount Horeb H.S. in 3rd. Other Southern Lakes conference schools including Westosha Central, Union Grove, and Burlington finished 4th, 5th, and 7th respectively.
There were also many individual accomplishments worth noting:
Sophomore Arie Deeter took the 2nd place red ribbon in Music in the Honors Division.
Sophomore Caitlin Griffin won the red ribbon in Art, also in the Honors Division.
Junior Nick DeCaro collected two ribbons, one red for Music and one 3rd place white ribbon in Language & Literature in the Scholastic Division.
Senior Vanessa Howell also took two ribbons, one red for her Speech and one white for her Essay in the Varsity Division.
Junior Kelly Senter won a pair of 1st place blue ribbons for Art and Language & Literature and added two white ribbons in Music and Econ. Kelly placed 2nd overall in the Scholastic Division at the regional with a score of 5,061.3 points.
Sophomore Carter Dybing led the team with 5 individual blue ribbons in Music, Art, Econ, Science, and Language & Literature. Carter also won the overall blue ribbon for placing 1st overall in the Varsity Division with 5,216.3 points. Although not confirmed, we have a sneaky suspicion that Carter's Music score of 800 may be the highest in the state in the Varsity Division or maybe in the entire state regardless of division. Stay tuned for an update in the near future.
Senior Erik Barron followed closely with 4 individual blue ribbons for his Music, Science, Econ, and Essay scores. Erik also earned two red ribbons in Art and Language & Literature, pushing his total to 6 individual ribbons, a team high. Erik too won the overall blue ribbon for placing 1st overall in the Scholastic Division with 5,834.3 points.
Both Erik and Carter received $200 cash scholarships from the Coburn Company and individual trophies for their top individual scores.
The most improvement on the team was achieved by sophomore Abbey Chappell. Abbey collected 3 red ribbons and one white in Art, Econ, Interview, and Essay respectively. She also placed 3rd overall and won a white ribbon in the Honors Division with a team leading 5,859.4 points. Abbey went from being the 6th highest scorer on the team at Locals to highest overall by Regionals. Abbey is also a 3-sport athlete!
Each member of the team received a blue ribbon for the team's 1st place finish and a team trophy that will be on display in the office beginning next week. The Panther team also posted the 2nd highest Division-2 school score throughout Wisconsin.
Congrats Academic Decathletes and good luck at State!
The top scoring scholars from the statewide Regional Competition (1-13-12) were released by the Wisconsin Academic Decathlon yesterday. Wilmot's very own Kelly Senter became the first decathlete in school history to be named a top scholar in a tested category. (Six years ago Andrew Lewis tied with several other decathletes with a perfect speech at Regionals) She posted the top score, regardless of division, in Art with a mark of 780 points out of a possible 1,000. Upwards of 540 students attempted this test statewide. Kelly almost did it twice! She was 2nd statewide trailing by only one question on Language and Literature test. For her accomplishment Kelly will be recognized on stage during the State awards banquet in March and receive a certificate enabling her to apply for a direct scholarship to several participating Wisconsin institutions.

This week's challenge for Five Take is animal print. This trend, which has been around for at least six years now, hasn't really won me over. I picked up this animal print cardigan from H&M inclusive at Fat Swap Shop last September:
But mostly, animal print doesn't appeal to me. That was until I saw these jeans from New Look:
They were a bit more subtle than the usual animal print items, so when they dropped from £26.99 to £9.99, I had them. I had some trepidation after seeing Jo's blog about them, but spending a tenner and them not working out was better than spending nearly £30. When they arrived, I really liked them. I wore them to my local farmer's market to meet a friend for lunch last Saturday and didn't get a single funny look! So they are a win in my book!
This is what I wore with them…
Top – New Look
Vest – New Look
Shoes – Crocs
I unintentionally wore all New Look! I decided to keep it simple, but I'm tempted to wear a Breton top with them next time or double up on the print and wear the cardigan too!!
Do you like animal print?
Don't forget to check out how the other fabulous four wore this challenge!

First, your eigenvalues, -1, 0, and 2, are correct. Of course the definition of "eigenvalue", , (of matrix B) is that there exist a non-zero vector v such that which is the same as .
Assuming the matrix you give is B (you never actually say that) then, for eigenvalue -1, yes, and you want to find non-zero such that
Of course that is the same as solving the system of equations 2x+ y= 0, x+ 2y= 0, 0= 0.
From the first equation, y= -2x so the second equation can be written x+ 2(-2x)= 5x= 0 which gives x= 0 and then y= 0. But we have no equation z must satisfy so we can take z to be any non-zero number, say z= 1. That gives eigenvector , or any non-zero multiple, as eigenvector corresponding to eigenvalue -1.
Doing it your way, row-reducing the matrix, would be the same as using the "augmented matrix" to solve the system of equations. Of course, since the last column, the "augmented" part, is all 0s, you don't need to write that:
That reduces, as you say, to
with the fourth, "augmented" column, still 0. So it corresponds to the equations x= 0, y= 0, 0= 0. The fact that the last column is all 0s tells us z can be anything (non-zero to give a non-zero vector, of course).
Now, try eigenvalues 0 and 2.

Captain is looking forward to enjoying a pain-free summer on and off the field, he tells
Alastair Cook is nothing if not a lover of cricket and passionate supporter of the England side. Like everyone else of that description, he is spending idle moments doing what he calls "the back of the envelope thing" — in technical language, imagining a team for the first Test in the post-Ashes era.
The game against Sri Lanka starts on June 12 and, given the uncertainty even in the mind of Cook, it is probably as well that candidates have another month to push their claims. Cook is the most influential figure outside the selectors themselves and says he has "15

"Ohio is a buyer's market" sounds good, until you realize the buyers are "johns" and they're buying girls as young as 11 years old for sex.
Ohio has made strides in rooting out human trafficking, but not enough is being done to curtail the demand side of sex for sale, said Linda Smith, head of Shared Hope International, a group that focuses on young trafficking victims. Smith, a former congresswoman from Washington state, threw down the gauntlet yesterday at the annual Human Trafficking Awareness Day in the Ohio Statehouse.
"If it wasn't for men buying sex, there wouldn't be a market," Smith said. "If you don't clean up the law here, you're going to continue to be a buyer's market."
Smith urged Ohio officials to aggressively prosecute male customers of underage girls being trafficked. "Do everything you can to arrest as many buyers as you can. Take their cars. Take their property. ... Treat them as the criminals they are."
In Ohio and nationally, "There is an underground market for American youth that is driven by demand," she said.
Smith's organization gave Ohio a "C" grade overall on human trafficking, up from "D" the previous two years.
Officer Ken Lawson, the human-trafficking liaison for Columbus police, gets emotional when he talks about the youngest victims.
"The average age of a runaway is 12, usually a female," Lawson said at the Awareness Day session. "How does a 12-year old girl stay away from home for any length of time? She has help, right? And then they want something in return for that help."
Lawson said Ohio has made progress in public awareness among law enforcement, prosecutors and the public since a few years ago, when youthful sex-trafficking victims usually were treated as criminals.
A state commission estimated that more than 1,000 children are trafficked for sex in Ohio annually, with 3,000 more at risk.
Gov. John Kasich, who also spoke at the event, said he got involved in the fight against trafficking, not because he has twin girls who turn 13 next week, but because "This is about the living nightmare that goes on for the victims."
"We need to clean this state out" of people who traffic in minors, he said. "If we catch them, they're going to jail."
The Kasich administration announced yesterday that it has hired Elizabeth Ranade Janis as a human-trafficking statewide coordinator in the Office of Criminal Justice Services in the Ohio Department of Public Safety. Janis, who was previously employed by World Vision, an international Christian humanitarian organization that deals primarily with children, will start her state job on Monday. Her salary will be $69,500.

Taking Drought Action In Ashland Parks
By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Apr 28, 2014
There's not much we can do about drought, other than take actions that reduce our need for water.
The city of Ashland is doing just that in its city parks.
Not only will irrigation be delayed as long as possible this year, the city will not plant new trees and shrubs that had been planned.
We get the details on the changes in the coming warm season.

Location / Thailand / Chiang Mai
Our TEFL course in Chiang Mai offers trainees the chance to earn an accredited TEFL certificate while experiencing a side of the real Thailand that so many passing tourists never have the chance to see.
The Thai people love their beloved northern capital: a quaint, walled city surrounded by a moat and numerous mystical temples. Chiang Mai is also an exciting, modern city, which has successfully managed to combine its rich history and traditions with its increasingly modern side.
Outside the city, Chiang Mai is surrounded by beautiful scenery of mountains, rivers, meadows, waterfalls, forests and valleys. Doi Suthep, topped by one of Thailand's holiest temples, rises behind the city, providing a dramatic backdrop and fine panoramic views. Chiang Mai has a striking natural beauty, over 300 temples and a quaint historical aura. It's also a modern, friendly, internationally flavoured city with much to offer its visitors.
Complementing its natural beauty, Chiang Mai's transformation into modernity has been well planned and the result is impressive. Between historic temples and ancient walls, visitors will find new shops, bars and restaurants, particularly in the Nimmanhaemin area. With its many and varied attractions, the days of Chiang Mai just being a quick stop off point before heading to the hills are long gone.
Many feel that the nation's northern capital city is an essential part of any journey to Thailand, so if you are planning to get certified to teach EFL in the 'Land of Smiles', what better place than Chiang Mai?
Our trainers are some of the best, most experienced in the business and will guide you on your journey to becoming an effective EFL teacher. They will offer you insight into the life of a teacher and provide you with all the tools you need to teach an effective, fun and inspiring lesson.
Chiang Mai benefits from a wide choice of accommodation to suit all price ranges. Budget hostels can be found for as little as US$ 120 per month and more comfortable hotels, guesthouses and small condos are available from US$ 200-300 per month.
The course fees listed on our website are inclusive of course-related lessons, materials, teaching practice, assessments, certificates, references, lifetime job assistance and more. We have no hidden costs or extra charges so the prices you see on the site are the prices you will pay.
The first step in enrolling on our TEFL course in Chiang Mai is to complete a free application. If you are at least 18 years of age and speak English fluently, you are eligible to apply for the course. The application is brief and we will send you a prompt reply. Once approved, you will receive additional information about the course content and schedule, your accommodation options, travel arrangements, as well as payment options and more.
Chiang Mai's combination of local and Western amenities makes it a great location for foreign teachers. However, if you would like to move on after the course we can help you find a job nearly anywhere in the world as our certificates are accredited worldwide.

Curbside Bikeway at Fort Mason Only Temporary, Set to Be Removed
The bike lane we spotted at Fort Mason last week, which replaced a lane of car parking on the northern end of Van Ness Avenue, could be removed any day now, according to city staffers. The bike lane was installed temporarily as part of the People Plan, intended to encourage visitors to bicycle during the America's Cup yacht races — but only on a trial basis.
As a number of Streetsblog commenters noted, it was a refreshing surprise to see such a sensible project apparently go in without the fierce, drawn-out political battles that typically accompany parking removal. But it looks like this space will revert to car storage, and sharrows will be painted in the roadway instead.
The bike lane was originally scheduled to be removed on November 1, said Adam Van de Water, project manager for the Office of Economic and Workforce Development. It's unclear why the lane has lasted this long (best guess — it's on the backlog for street painting crews). The lane "was designed as a pilot to provide safety, comfort and direction to cyclists transiting between [America's Cup] venues with the long term legacy value of providing empirical data on its effectiveness given competing uses at the site and the desire to create a contiguous SF Bay Trail," said Van de Water.
Through "visual surveys and mode counts on site," the SFMTA and the National Park Service, which holds jurisdiction over the land, came to the conclusion that the post-separated bikeway linking the bicycle/pedestrian paths along Fort Mason and Fisherman's Wharf isn't worth keeping, according to Van de Water:
I believe the consensus only a portion of cyclists used the cycle track with many opting for a quicker transit along the center of the roadway where the pavement is in better condition and where they are used to riding. As a result, SFMTA is adding new painted sharrows in the roadway when the temporary cycle track is removed.

Samoa opposition aims to rebuild demolished parliament building
Samoa's first parliament building has been demolished but those who wanted it preserved are not staying quiet.
The opposition Tautua Samoa party leader Palusalue Faapo II has vowed that if his party becomes the government it will rebuild the Maota Fono themselves.
And he believes Samoa should not look for funding from overseas for this project.
The Speaker of Parliament La'aulialemalietoa Leuatea Polataivao has said that the US government has indicated support for restoration of the building.
But Palusalue has told the Samoa Observer, he has seen the letter from the US charge d'affaires Chad Berbert responding to the Speaker's request for assistance.
Palusalue says the letter is only an acknolwedgement of receipt of the request not a confirmation of funds.
The opposition leader says they believe most of the country will support the project so they would seek help from the people of Samoa to rebuild the Maota fono .


text: i am a first time mom...This week I realized that my 19 week old baby is growing so fast so i decided to delay solids even though the ped was telling us to starting in a month or when she is 5 and a half months...But today I was in awe...I was eating some yogurt. She reached in the container dipped her hand in and put it in her mouth. I thought ohh this was just a mistake she doesn't know....She then grabbed the spoon and proceeded to eating the yogurt.I tried to stop her and she had a fit. She wanted her spoon back. She ate about a teaspoon or two of yogurt. I felt so bad but i couldn't stop her. This afternoon she launched at my banana and started chewing and softening it. I took the banana away and she started crying and reaching for the banana...What do i do? Is it just a mistake or does she actually want that food? HELP.i wanted to wait as long as possible before introducing solids. BTW she is exclusively breastfed.

As for the performance with enabled anisotropic filtering, DeltaChrome prepared us a very pleasant surprise: the performance hardly reduces even a little bit when we enable anisotropic filtering. Moreover, it doesn't at all depend on the level of anisotropy. To see my point, take a look at the benchmarks results for DeltaChrome and competing solutions from NVIDIA and ATI with forced anisotropic filtering of different levels:
Well, there is really something unique about DeltaChrome: none of the two industry leaders has yet offered "free" anisotropic filtering. Moreover, as we see, the quality of anisotropic filtering from S3 Graphics is beyond any praise. Keeping in mind that ATI and NVIDIA do introduce certain quality limitations in order to increase the performance of their solutions, we have every right to state another victory of S3 Graphics: the "free" tri-linear filtering in 1999 has now grown into "free" anisotropic filtering! This is an excellent achievement for a company, which has been de facto absent in the discreet graphics market for a while.
In the upcoming reviews, when new more stable DeltaChrome driver versions appear, we will do our best to devote more time to consideration of such interesting things as anisotropic filtering and full-screen anti-aliasing implementation by DeltaChrome. And now let's pass over to the gaming benchmarks and the performance of our today's hero in this type of applications.

The car and a new beginning: No other car exemplifies the growth of the automobile industry in the 50s like the Beetle. It was not simply there, it also played a major role in the onset of a new era. Millions of people the world over owed their (previously unknown) mobility to the Beetle. And millions of roads in Malaysia and across the world witnessed its triumphant journey. So, it is no wonder that it became the first car in the world to sell over 20 million units. And a heritage was born. Today, the Beetle together with the many other models that make up Volkswagen, continue to shape the world of automobiles. Making them in their own unique way, The car.
Find out more about Volkswagen. Das Auto. Show 2012 at www.TheIconIsBack.com.my
The car and a new chapter: As the rest of the automobile industry raced along towards bigger, faster cars, Volkswagen heralded a new chapter in its enterprising story – the Golf. Thanks to its values – affordable for everyone and perfectly suited for everyday use, it quickly became a worthy successor to the legendary Beetle. Since then, it has reached its fifth generation and well over 25,000,000 have been produced. And thus the Golf gave a name to an entire class of cars – and to an entire generation. Generation Golf.
The car and a sense of security: A car should accompany people on their journey as quickly and comfortably as possible. And above all, as safely as possible. That is especially true for those who cannot look after their own safety – the little ones. With them in mind, came cars like the Touran. Cars that are safe – not only for the big people in front, but especially for the little people in the back. Cars that have a huge amount of space – not just for luggage and shopping bags, but also toy cars and teddy bears. Cars that offer a body so safe it can be considered a second home.
The car and forward thinking: The best solution to an impossible dream? Thinking and thinking again till an answer is found. At Volkswagen, some of the most radical developments in recent times have been based on this principle. A perfect example – the one litre car, the world's first concept car that ran the distance of 100km on just 0.99 litres of fuel. Or the Touareg TDI 'Stanley' that journeyed across the Las Vegas desert with no flesh and blood driver behind the wheel – just a combination of six computers. Such revolutionary projects help us constantly improve our series models. And dreams do come true.
The car and the future: Through the years, every one of our developments has played an important role in enabling us to spearhead into the future. It is thanks to these that we find ourselves always on the right path. But we don't rest our laurels. Because tomorrow is a new day with new needs. And so, we continue developing new breeds of concept cars, like the one shown at the IAA 2007. With the engine at the back, it combines maximum interior space with minimum overall size and the lowest CO2-emission levels. This is one of the many models that represent the new design philosophy of the Volkswagen brand. We believe that one cannot find new ways by employing old thought processes. Because the future is only as good as the ideas we have today.

I'd love to help you, but this question is incoherent.
Project and Workforce are supposed to be sets, I gather? And you are using to mean "belongs to the set"? What is ?
If you are asking whether it makes sense to write: {A, B, C} {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} without giving any indication of what these set elements mean, then I would have to say no.
If you are asking something else, then you need to explain it better.

If the NFL opens the season with replacement referees — and more and more people are bracing themselves for that — female line judge Shannon Eastin might work the Lions' opener.
Complete Week 1 officiating assignments aren't yet known, but Xtra Sports 910 in Phoenix reported Eastin has been assigned to Sunday's game against St. Louis at Ford Field.
If the NFL lockout holds, she would be the first female official to work a regular-season game.

Blood On The Fields Special on CNN Impact
Legendary jazz trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis is trying to come to grips with one of the most troubling times in his nation's history.
On Sunday, April 6 at 9 p.m., Marsalis tells CNN IMPACT correspondent Farai Chideya that turning a tragedy like slavery into an affirmation of something positive is what his soon to be released, highly acclaimed CD "Blood on the Fields" is all about.
Marsalis says his new work is not so much about slavery, as how some of us became Americans. And in the process, created American music and culture.
Some of his other thoughts in the hour-long program are: On slavery: "It took me a long time to get over being mad. The thing that you have to understand is that you just can't be tricked into the same way of thinking. Once the racists get you to think like them they have defeated you truly on the most profound and fundamental level."
On his epic composition about slavery Blood on the Fields: "It turns away from race, then it goes into the human. That's why I don't say the word white. There's not the word white one time in the whole piece. Or black."
On Injustice: "That's a fact of American history. That's a fact of our life in this nation. Of the Afro American people. In this whole time, we are the ones that are scapegoats."
