Ebola is taking hold in western Africa
It has been spreading through Guinea, getting very little international media attention, since February. But now that the estimated death toll has reached 672 and the disease has spread to the neighbouring countries of Liberia and Sierra Leone, Ebola is being deemed an international threat. On 20 July a Liberian civil servant collapsed after getting off a plane in Nigeria's capital Lagos, the most populous city on the continent. He was rushed to hospital where he died of what was later confirmed to be Ebola. On Wednesday, foreign secretary Philip Hammond called an emergency Cobra meeting to discuss threat of the outbreak to Britain. The upshot? Britain has the expertise and resources to fend off the disease.
The death toll in Gaza has topped 1,400
The death toll in Gaza and Israeli military losses are now greater than in both previous rounds of fighting between Israel and Hamas. On Thursday Palestinian officials in Gaza said that the four-week operation had left around 8,200 people wounded and local non-governmental organisations said that up to 80% of Palestinian casualties were civilians. Three Israeli civilians and 56 soldiers have been killed so far.
On Friday, at 8am local time, a 72-hour ceasefire was agreed between Israel and Hamas before being broken hours later.
Most Russians think the Ukrainians downed MH17
According to a poll conducted by the Levada Centre, an independent Russian research organisation, 82% of Russians surveyed blamed Ukrainian forces for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 on 17 July, killing all 298 people on board. Of 1,501 respondents surveyed in Russia's six biggest cities, 46% said they believed a Ukrainian surface-to-air missile was responsible, and 36% said a Ukrainian warplane had shot it down. Only 3% believed the rebels in eastern Ukraine were responsible for shooting down the plane. Sixteen per cent said they didn't know.
"A different reality has been created on television, where there are different theories, different history, different images, which equate the Ukrainian forces with fascists," said Denis Volkok, a sociologist at the Levada Centre.
Cameron needs to be more careful with his PR stunts
David Cameron was criticised for taking part in a PR stunt involving posing for pictures in the home of people detained in Slough for suspected immigration offences. The aim of the exercise was to demonstrate the government's tough approach to illegal immigrants, but the photographs of Cameron and Theresa May laughing in the kitchen of four Albanian men who had just been arrested was labelled tasteless by some.
"Who gave Mr Cameron permission to look round these premises? Being prime minister doesn't give you the right to enter private property willy-nilly," said Shami Chakrabarti, the director of Liberty.
BBC Trust chairman is a political role
The Conservatives were understandably miffed when their preferred candidate for chairman of the BBC Trust Lord Coe dropped out of the running. Coe told the Daily Mail that he'd withdrawn his name from consideration because of the time commitments the job would entail and his need to focus on the upcoming election for the presidency of the International Association of Athletics Federations.
Cameron and George Osborne were understood to be in full support of Coe's application – so much so that they changed the job specifications to suit him, reducing the number of hours it entailed.
Spain's former king Juan Carlos isn't totally immune from prosecution
Spain's supreme court is considering whether it will hear a paternity suit lodged by a Spanish waiter against the former king, Juan Carlos. When Carlos handed the throne to his son Felipe in June he lost the legal immunity he enjoyed during his 39-year reign.
Alberto Solà Jiménez, 58, who was adopted as a child, claims that his biological mother, who was part of a prominent Catalan banking family, had a relationship with Juan Carlos before he became king.
Shortly after Juan Carlos's abdication, the Spanish government rushed through a law that would give the former king a certain degree of immunity from legal proceedings, although not from cases taken to the high court. It had been suggested that this was partly due to the threat of paternity suits filed by Solà Jiménez and a Belgian, Ingrid Jeanne Satiau, who also claims that Juan Carlos is her father.
Bolt might think the Commonwealth Games are 'a bit shit'
The second week of the Commonwealth Games has widely been seen as a success. But star attraction Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt was apparently less enthusiastic. Bolt allegedly told Times journalist Katie Gibbons that the event was "a bit shit".
The fastest sprinter in history was quoted as saying that he was "not really" having fun and that the Olympics was a "much better" tournament. Bolt took to Twitter to dispute the claims made by Gibbons, tweeting "I'm waking up to this nonsense. journalist please don't create lies to make headlines."
The Times's Scottish editor, Angus Macleod, stood by his reporter on Twitter: "He was simply asked if he was enjoying Glasgow. And I trust my reporter."
Life is about to get harder for naughty drunks
In a 12-month trial scheme, launched by London mayor Boris Johnson, persistent offenders of alcohol-related crimes will be fitted with tags that monitor the levels of alcohol in their system. The "sobriety tags" will measure a person's perspiration every half an hour to make sure he or she is alcohol free. It is estimated that up to 150 tags will be issued once the new scheme is trialled in four London boroughs: Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Sutton.
"I pledged to tackle this booze culture by making the case to government for new powers to allow mandatory alcohol testing as an additional enforcement option for the courts," said Johnson. "This is an approach that has seen impressive results in the US."
Laughter is the best medicine
When addressing celebratory crowds in the city of Bursa to celebrate the end of Ramadan, the Turkish deputy prime minister decided to focus on the cheery topic of "moral corruption in Turkey". "A woman should be chaste," he said. "She should know the difference between public and private. She should not laugh in public."
Social media users were quick to respond, with many Turkish women posting photos of themselves laughing in defiance. The hash tag #kahkaha, which means "laughter" in Turkish, proliferated on the social network soon after the controversial comments were made.
Argentina is defaulting on its debts, again
After two days of failed talks in New York, it was announced on Wednesday that Argentina would be defaulting on its debts for the second time in the last 13 years. The financially troubled nation is defaulting on $1.3b and the news caused the Meveral, Argentina's national stock market, to plummet on Thursday.
Argentina's economy mnister Axel Kicillof delivered an address on the night of the failed talks, going on to describe "vulture funds" who were demanding a full payout that they could simply not afford at the present time.

Didier Drogba did not travel with Chelsea for Tuesday night's Champions League Group G clash at Sporting Lisbon.
The Blues trained at their Cobham training base on Monday morning before departing for Portugal without Drogba, whose absence was unexplained in the squad list posted on the Chelsea website.
Diego Costa travelled with manager Jose Mourinho hoping to field the striker despite his ongoing hamstring problems which had previously limited his involvement to one game a week.
Drogba, who scored the decisive penalty in the 2012 European Cup final win before leaving Chelsea, started the opening 1-1 draw with Schalke in place of Costa, but the 36-year-old was a shadow of the player who dominated Premier League and European defences for eight years during his first spell.
He is still awaiting the first goal of his second spell at Stamford Bridge, but it will not come against Sporting on Tuesday night.
Costa, meanwhile, has made a phenomenal start to his Chelsea career and netted his eighth goal in six Premier League games against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Ramires (groin) was the only other senior player not among the 20-man squad, with the Brazil midfielder likely out of Sunday's Premier League clash with Arsenal.
Midfielder/defender Nathan Ake travelled as part of the group, as did goalkeeper Mitchell Beeney, with Mark Schwarzer ineligible in Champions League competition.
Speaking after Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Villa, Mourinho conceded that, because Costa is unable to fully train, he is yet to produce his best for the Blues.
"He's doing almost nothing (in training)," said Mourinho. "He's just resting and recovering from the tight muscle he has. Every time he accumulates fatigue."
"He cannot be on top of his game, but even so scoring a goal is good for his confidence.
Whilst Chelsea faced Paul Lambert's men at the weekend, Sporting faced Porto at the Estadio Jose Alvalade Stadium; picking up a 1-1 draw in the process.
Sporting took the lead through Jonathan Silva's well-placed header, and looked set to become the first side to defeat Porto this season.
But Mourinho's former side found a way back, somewhat fortuatously, via an own-goal by Mouhamadou-Naby Sarr to rescue their unbeaten record.

Oxygen (O2)
Definition - What does Oxygen (O2) mean?
Oxygen, in the context of occupational health and safety, is a chemical element found in nature. It has no smell, taste or color and makes up 21 percent of the air we breathe. It is also used for various processes, such as in the production of acids, steel, iron, polyester, polymers and antifreeze. Oxygen is also used for cutting, welding and melting metals.
In the workplace, the air must contain a certain level of oxygen (between 19.5 and 23.5 percent according to OSHA) in order to be considered safe for workers. Oxygen can also react with combustible and reducing materials, creating a fire and explosion hazard.
Safeopedia explains Oxygen (O2)
Without oxygen, humans can die within minutes. But too little oxygen poses high health risks as well, as does to much. Workplaces must therefore have adequate ventilation and other safety measures to ensure that employees have sufficient oxygen.
Oxygen can pose extreme fire threats and should be handled with care, especially when compressed. Special storage arrangements for oxygen are also necessary for safety against fire incidents.

Renewables = 69% of New US Electricity Capacity in 2015
February 15th, 2016 by Zachary Shahan
Using data from FERC and rooftop solar power estimates of my own*, it seems that 69% of newly installed US electricity generation capacity was from renewable energy power plants, with 67% from solar and wind power. In the month of December, 100% of new power capacity came from wind and solar projects.
Meanwhile, total installed coal power capacity declined from 326.6 GW at the end of 2014 to 305.05 GW at the end of 2015. In other words, net, 21.55 GW of coal power capacity were taken offline in 2015.
Unfortunately, natural gas (which may be much cleaner than coal, but that is up for debate) power capacity grew from 492.97 GW to 500.71 GW. In other words, it saw nearly 8 GW of additional capacity (net).
To compare to renewables on the whole, that segment grew by 23.5 GW, from 200.94 to 224.43 GW. Solar and wind alone grew by about 21 GW, from 81.45 GW to 102.58 GW, based on my estimates. That's approximately the change in coal capacity.
The top sources of new power capacity in 2015 (in MWac) were as follows:
- Wind Power (40.9%) — 7977
- Natural Gas (30.5%) — 5942
- Solar Power (25.9%) — 5047
Those three sources accounted for over 97% of new power capacity.
"If it weren't already obvious, the latest FERC data confirm that the era of coal, oil, and nuclear power is rapidly drawing to a close," noted Ken Bossong, Executive Director of the SUN DAY Campaign. "The future — in fact, the present — has become renewable energy!"
At the end of the day (at the end of the year), renewables still only accounted for 19% of total US electricity generation capacity, and solar + wind 8.7%. So, we have a long way to go. Nonetheless, 69% of new capacity from renewables in the year isn't really a letdown, even if it does seem like 100% of new capacity should have come from renewables….
Here's my December and full-year table on capacity installations and total installed capacity across the US:
*Based on SEIA/GTM research projections for 2015 and historical data from NREL.
Last month's electricity capacity report can be viewed here: "Renewables = 99% of New US Power Capacity in November."

gooden looks like a kid playing out there. tons of energy, it's good to see. don't see him making too many plays yet though.
1st, Landry comes shooting into the hole and stops the run for no gain. He's got no fear, that's for sure.
2nd and 10, draw to Betts, gets about 2-3.
3rd and long, blitz by Carr and Barnes, too much for the Skins line and SMACKS Campbell, gets it off, but it hits the turf in front of Pryce who dropped into Zone. Punt time.
Fair caught at the 20.
Nice pass rush by Barnes on that play.
Rex Ryan, who?
not being serious, but liking the blitzes that Mattison is dialing up!
Nice series for the D. Looks like they wont lose a step without Ryan.
1st, timing pattern to Mason, complete for 6-7 yards and OOB.
2nd and 3, another slant timing pass to Washington, gain of 10+. Nice throw right into the hole.
Wow, look at Washington getting into the action.
And no Justin Harper sighting yet.
I like Kelley Washington doing a big dance for a 1st down catch...love his enthusiasm
16 yard gain.
1st, Rice finds a hole for about 6-7.
2nd and 3, little flip to Rice, gets about 7-8. Flag down. Holding on D-Will. Deserved call, but unnecessary hold.
2nd and 8, screen to Rice who had no blocks and just got smacked.
3rd and 9, excellent camera work who completely misses the pass, slant to Washington up to the 50 and another first down. Perfect pattern.
Starting to love me some Kelley Washington!
Kelley Washington AGAIN with a nice slant pattern!
I am getting REALLY tired of this OL letting Redskins in and getting in Joe's face like this.
Flacco is still in?

Pablo Picasso Quotes About EmotionsQuotes about: Emotions
Whatever the source of emotion that drives me to create, I want to give it a form which has some connection with the visible world, even if it is only to wage war on that world....I want my paintings to be able to defend themselves to resist the invader, just as though there were razor blades on all surfaces so no one could touch them without cutting his hands.
Do you think it interests me that this painting represents two figures? These two figures existed, they exist no more. The sight of them gave me an initial emotion, little by little their real presence grew indistinct. They became a fiction for me, then they disappeared, or rather, were turned into problems of all kinds. For me they are no longer two figures but shapes and colours. Don't misunderstand me: shapes and colours, though, that sum up the idea of the two figures and preserve the vibration of their existence.

... teaches his shooting lessons. It's somewhere in Tyler hidden behind some houses where he has it set up outside. It felt very Texas with it being so hot and dusty. Paul showed me some safety things first as I've never shot a proper fun before & how to hold one properly. I started with a smaller gun that wasn't going to be to powerful. Still was crazy loud to me but it's surprising how fun it is to shoot one. Then we went on to one that's kind of the same ...
Had a bit of a chilled day today. I had the nicest lay in. Slept till about 10 which is not like me at all!! Got myself ready then headed to good old subway for some lunch and wifi lol. I spent the best part of 4 hours in there. Time literally flys when your catching up with people and sorting things out. Had a productive time sorting some things ready for Mexico. Can't believe it's less than 2 weeks till I'm ...
So I was back in frankston after a long weekend in Dallas. Today kelli was doing a photo shoot with her niece kara. She got engaged not long ago and was doing some photos for her save the date invites for her wedding. They are getting married in November this year. It was a typical Texas photo shoot with cowboy boots, cowboy hat & a hay bale! Kellis friend dustin has a proper Texas ranch not far from her house ...
... handing her Elderly mother a shot gun in broad daylight was very odd lol. Then we headed back home to kels. Kellis husband paul being English means she makes some English dinners. So tonight we had chicken & potato curry with rice and home made naan breads. Tasted great, haven't had anything like a curry since being back home. After dinner me and Kel had a girls night with chatting & the new version of Cinderella ...
... stress & being away don't really go! Paul was heading out so in a desperate attempt for wifi I've made it back to a McDonald's to suck up the usage and feel sort of normal with Internet in my life. On the way he took me to his local gun shop where he gets his from so that was interesting to see whilst we was out! It's a trip to a phone shop tomorrow that's for sure to get this girl a SIM card! Wish me ...

What you'll need:
• A towel or some other soft fabric
• A spring bar tool
Remove the old watch band:
1. To prevent scratching of your watch, place it face down on a towel or some other soft cloth or fabric.
2. Insert the forked end of the Spring Bar Tool between the watch band and the case lug. (While it is recommended that you use one of these tools for best results, other thin devices can be used, such as a small screwdriver, nail files or even your fingernails.)
3. With the spring bar tool, catch the shoulder of the spring bar and push away from the watch lug, toward the strap and apply slight pressure downward at the same time. This should compress the spring bar and cause it to come out of the lug once it has been compressed enough.
4. Once the watch strap is out, pull it away from the watch case.
5. Remove the spring bar from the watch strap and set it aside.
6. Repeat the process on the other side of the strap.
Install a new watch band:
1. Take one spring bar and insert it into one of the ends of your new watch band, making sure that you can see the spring bar poking out both sides of the strap.
2. Insert one end of the spring bar into one of the pinholes of the case lug.
3. Use your spring bar tool to take the shoulder of the opposite end of the spring bar, and compress it so it's short enough to insert into the other pinhole.
4. Keeping the spring bar compressed, maneuver the band so that the spring bar lines up with the pinhole on the other lug. Release the spring bar and it should snap into place.
5. Gently tug on the watch strap to make sure it's securely in place.
6. Repeat the process on the side of your watch case with the other side of the strap.
Things to remember:
To save yourself some potential frustration, make sure you are placing the correct end of the Luminox watch strap on the correct side of the watch case. Also, remember that you are working on the watch while it's upside down so be sure not to put the strap on backwards by accident. Make sure you are steady while performing this procedure or you risk scratching the watch, especially the lugs.
If you lack the proper tools or are unsure about performing the replacement yourself, have a professional from an authorized Luminox repair center perform the replacement.

As part of Brooklyn Transitions, a series of programs and events about neighborhood change in our borough, the Brooklyn Collection presents the film "Battle for Brooklyn". This documentary is an intensely intimate look at the very public and passionate fight waged by owners and residents facing condemnation of their property to make way for the controversial Atlantic Yards project, the development plan that created the Barclay's Center (home of the Brooklyn Nets basketball team) and the Pacific Park apartment towers that are currently under construction. Shot over seven years and compiled from almost 500 hours of footage, "Battle for Brooklyn" is an epic tale of how far people will go to fight for what they believe in.
Photo from film: Tracy Collins
The film starts at 7pm, with discussion to follow. A wine and cheese reception precedes the program at 6:30pm -- tickets will be distributed at this point.
The program is held in the Brooklyn Collection, on the 2nd floor balcony level of the Central Library at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn.
Looking at Google Maps, it is plain to see that PS 125 in Brownsville has been abandoned for quite some time. When did the oldest school in the neighborhood close, and why? This researcher started this blog assuming that these would be easy questions to answer. It turns out there is no clear answer to either one.
From its creation in 1900, PS 125 was ill-equipped to handle the influx of Jewish, mostly Russian and Polish, immigrants streaming over the newly opened Williamsburg Bridge from the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Four new schools opened in Brownsville between 1905 and 1912, yet this did little to alleviate overcrowding. According to a Brooklyn Daily Eagle article, PS 125 was renovated in 1917 to include 38 classrooms, 13 of which were "activities" rooms dedicated to classes in drama, workshop, science, cooking, drawing, and other special skills.

A booming population combined with the politics of racial segregation paralyzed progress at the school. PS 125 emerged as a predominantly Black school between 1933 and 1940, when Black children went from being one-third to two-thirds of the student population. From 1940 to 1950 the Black population in Brownsville doubled due to a flood of migrants, mostly from the South. In response, the heavy-handed City Planner of New York, Robert Moses, initiated construction of the Brownsville Housing Projects, which increased the population density of the area. To this day, Brownsville has the highest density of NYCHA-owned buildings in New York City.
Schools in Brownsville were so jam-packed that many students never had access to a full day of schooling. By the 1950s, PS 125 had an enrollment of 767 students (30% over capacity). Around this time, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported that the waitlists for schools in the area were so long that some parents stopped signing their kids up for school entirely. PS 125, like other overburdened schools, operated in shifts. This made life hectic for parents with more than one school-age child trying to coordinate childcare and meals.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 1950
While Black schools were utterly congested, the white schools in the borough were nowhere near capacity. According to Brownsville, Brooklyn: Blacks, Jews, and the Changing Face of the Ghetto, a "1955 government report found that almost all elementary schools in predominantly Black neighborhoods were full or exceeding capacity, while 80,000 seats were vacant in predominantly white schools. The school board refused to enroll Black students in schools located in white neighborhoods, choosing instead to move students amongst overcrowded schools."
The reality of racial segregation in Brooklyn appears most starkly in the New York City Planning Commission's Plan for New York City. It shows the "Utilization and Enrollment" at Brownsville schools from 1967-68. At PS 125, there were zero "White" students, 83 "Puerto Rican" students and 375 "Negro" students enrolled. Overall, students of color made up 97.6% of all students in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville district at that time.
New York City Planning Commission's Play for New York City (3) Brooklyn, 1969PS 125's statistics are displayed in the second row from the top
Racial tensions began to heat up further in the 1960s, as Black parents lead protests for more community control over school policies and practices. By 1968, the school had likely started the decentralization pilot program with a cluster of other schools in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville school district, as mentioned in the New York Times. This new program was designed to give predominantly Black neighborhoods more control and influence over how their schools were run.
These are the last bits of evidence regarding PS 125 and its existence. This researcher has checked public databases and called people at the Department of Education, Department of Buildings, Brownsville Heritage House, Brownsville Community Board, a real estate company that works with the building's current owners, the President of the Brownsville Business Improvement District, and a friend who works at an architecture company, but have yet to find an official closing date for PS 125. (I'm thinking we should post a reward for such information, as it seems absolutely crazy that there is no known record of a public school's closing.) This researcher even took to Twitter to ask Brownsville born-and-raised artist Elaine Del Valle (@brownsvillebred) about the school, where her father worked as a janitor, but she wasn't sure. She thought maybe 1981, but didn't know the reason behind the closure.
"Brooklyn Tomorrow," 1964
Notice on the above map from 1964 that PS 125 is not even listed as an "existing" building where it would be located in the northwest corner of "Brownsville Housing." Perhaps it was already abandoned by this point, rendered structurally deficient, regardless of teachers' strikes or overcrowded classrooms. One can see that the residents of Brownsville had hopes of creating an "Educational Park" between Watkins Street and Rockaway Ave at Livonia Ave, surrounded by middle-income housing, though this dream never came to fruition.
Whatever the story of PS 125's closing, it remains a mystery! One thing is for sure, the journey to that non-answer provides an intriguing history of Brownsville's intense political past.

In honor of our current exhibition, the Brooklyn Connections team has set out to detail the history of three Brooklyn Schools over the next three weeks. With that, I give you the first installment:
The Mermen of Brownsville
In the fall of 2014, I worked with a group of 7th graders at Brownsville's PS 284 to explore the history of their school. The students already had a sense of their school's legacy; they have a large banner hanging outside that says, "PS/IS 284 - Over 100 Years of Excellence!" The building itself is imposing in a regal sort of way, as were many of the public schools built around the turn of the century. The schools were supposed to look as though they housed some serious knowledge acquisition. Having worked with some fantastic students, teachers, and librarians at PS 284, I can attest that there is still a ton of awesome learning going on.

PS 284, originally called PS 66, started as a small wooden framed structure controlled by the town of New Lots, before Brooklyn annexed the area in 1886. By 1906, the Brownsville section of Brooklyn was rapidly expanding with an influx of Jewish immigrants from Manhattan's Lower East Side and the tiny wooden school house was no longer making the grade. The new tenements springing up were teeming with potential young learners, which led, in 1906, to PS 66's grand makeover. In the below image you can see the H shaped PS 66 (orange, signifying it being made of brick vs the surrounding wooden yellow buildings) between Osborn and Watkins and PS 125 (the subject of next week's entry) at the corner of Rockaway and Blake, a mere block away.

In early 1913, the school changed again, though this time in name alone.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle. 2 Jan 1913.
The Board of Superintendents were considering names to substitute numbers for all public schools in NYC, specifically "Names of men - patriots, scientists, literary men and educators" as well as "names of streets and localities." The hope was that the names of those "who contributed to the welfare and progress of mankind" would inspire the students. Thus, PS 66 became PS 66 - the General Lew Wallace School.
Who is that, you ask?
General Lew(is) Wallace is this guy:
General Lewis Wallace. Library of Congress, Washington DC.
Union soldier, governor of New Mexico, and author of Ben-Hur. My students were excited to learn that he was a man of many talents and, after we did some research on his myriad of accomplishments, gave their stamp approval to the union of PS 66 and Mr. Wallace. A new structure and a new name did not mark the end of PS 66's evolution. The actual learning was the next thing to get a revamp.
Even though we were building new schools and, as of 1903, had a city-wide curriculum (the consolidation of the five boroughs into today's New York City happened in 1898), we were still in the one-room schoolhouse mindset. We didn't have different periods or different teachers throughout the day, which amounted to lots of sitting and (presumably) lots of learning. In 1917, PS 66 would be part of the movement to change the way American children were educated.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle. 14 Dec. 1917.
The Gary Plan was a product of the Progressive Era and the further industrialization of the United States. Created in Gary, Indiana, hence the name, the plan was also referred to as the "work-study-play" plan or the "platoon system." The 1907 educational philosophy called for new vocational facilities like carpenter shops and kitchens alongside playgrounds and pools to incorporate both vocational training and structured breaks. By moving the students around from work in a carpenter shop to study in math class to play on a playground, the school also used all of its classrooms on the constant, better utilizing space and shrinking class sizes.
This plan was tested in industrial centers across the country and, though it was thought to be a success in Gary, it received mixed reviews in other locations. When it came to NYC in 1914 it was not well received at all, as many parents did not approve of a) bringing the business world into their children's education and b) allowing their children playtime while in school. Playtime? Frivolous! What's more, it required incredibly expensive renovations. Regardless of the criticism, PS 66 was chosen for the experiment, which led the Brooklyn Daily Eagle to quip that it was chosen "because it was in Brownsville and seemingly no other reason." And the plan didn't come alone. When the plan came to Lew Wallace in 1917 it brought with it a carpenter shop, a printing office, a sewing room, a kitchen, a pool, a library, and a playground (that was actually just a closed off side street... but it was outside!)
PS 66 Swimming Pool. 1918. Print. NYC Board of Education Collection.
Mrs. Kennedy, the principal of the school, was not entirely pleased. For one, the students were not put on the actual Gary Plan, in all its glory. They did not move around in "platoons," staying together throughout the day. The duplicate plan that they were adopting created irregular schedules starting some students at 8:30am and others at 10:30am. She stated that she "did not believe in the duplicate plan for the small children. They need to concentrate, instead of having so much movement. They are too young to have so many teachers... The duplicate plan, while it has certain advantages, has several disadvantages. One is that all day long children are in the playground outside or inside of the building. Being at play they are naturally noisy, and they disturb those in the classrooms on the first floor certainly." Again, the frivolity!
Mrs. Kennedy did enjoy the new facilities, but wasn't sure they were worth the cost. She also said that the library was a waste of classroom space, for all of her pupils were taught to use the catalog at the Brooklyn Public Library. PS 66 sits in between both the Stone Avenue Branch and the Brownsville Branch of BPL. It's interesting to think back to a time when people were fighting to keep libraries OUT of schools, as opposed to today's battles when we're begging to get them back INTO schools (and staffed). History, huh?
Personally, I can't imagine what it would have been like for the young children of Brownsville to, for the first time, walk into their new pool facility. What a change from the public bathhouses and public pools they were used to! A clean and probably insanely chlorinated pool just for them! I will admit, the pool looks a tad bit terrifying in these old photos, but it's a pool none the less!

In the end, the Progressive Era did drastically alter the way we educate our students: recess, class periods, diversity of instruction, etc. and we essentially use an abridged Gary Plan today. It might be fair to say that the Progressive Era changed the way we educated our students, as vocational education, art, and music are being defunded and stripped from so many of our schools. Needless to say, the carpentry shop and sewing room are long gone. However, the students at Lew Wallace made good use of the facilities when they were there (and they make great use of the ones they still have today).
Even before the completion of the new facilities, the students at Lew Wallace were making a name for themselves. As of 1917, there were approx. 2,500 students (no, that's not a typo, it was a massive school), from kindergarten to 8th grade. The students were almost exclusively Jewish, from the surrounding tenements, but the teaching staff were comprised of many different races*: "Welsh, English, Jewish, German, New Orleans French, Swedish, Danish, and West Indian negro."
*They're referring to the early twentieth century version of race, what we'd call ethnicity today.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle. 18 May 1917.
The students were frequently lauded in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle for their athletic prowess. That pool really came in handy, as all throughout the 1920s and 1930s the students of Lew Wallace were cited as champions in swimming as well as basketball.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle. 5 Dec. 1926.
The mid-1940s brought huge changes to Brownsville and much of that change was centered in the area around PS 66. The Brownsville Houses were imagined and constructed, using both PS 66 and PS 125 as anchors (both schools can be seen in the below image). The creation of the Brownsville houses, coupled with a massive migration of African-Americans from the South and a movement of whites out of east Brooklyn neighborhoods began to change the demographics of the school and the surrounding neighborhood in pretty drastic ways.

By the 1950s, many of Brownsville's schools needed a serious update. There were plans to build an entirely new school that would have been PS 84, but those plans were scuttled by Parks Commissioner Robert Moses. (I know, right? That guy was EVERYWHERE.) The majority of the money for the new building was appropriated for the creation of recreational facilities and, instead, PS 66 was to become solely an elementary school (it had evolved into a junior high by this time) and 'updated' at a cost of $750,000 (though the school was still coal heated until 1998). Its junior high students would attend other schools. But money troubles were just the beginning. Discussed in detail in next week's entry, the racial tensions and teacher strikes of the 1960s and 1970s were felt at the recently re-titled PS 284 (we renumbered our schools in the early 60s). The neighborhood had transitioned to a majority black and Puerto Rican population, while many of the teachers and administrators were holdovers from the neighborhood's early years.
New York Times. 27 June 1967.
In 1967, there was an exodus, as issues of community control erupted in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville neighborhood. In May of that year there had been a massive boycott of the school, many parents and community organizations favoring a staff that reflected the racial makeup of the students. During that boycott, only 164 students of the school's total 904 showed up for class. There are some great books on the decentralization experiment/crisis/movement - you can check them out at the library. (Come visit!) Despite the strikes, the learning continued.
Today, PS 284 serves K - 8th grade students and shares it's building with another school (as is the way with many NYC schools), Leadership Prep Academy, a charter school. The pool is still in use in collaboration with an organization called Swim For Life that teachers urban children how to swim in an effort to prevent child drowning. And because swimming is the best.
PS/IS 284. eChalk. 5 Jan. 2015. Web.
The school has outstanding programs and staff and it is working diligently to provide a safe enviornment where the community's students can succeed. I was incredibly happy to have the chance to visit their classrooms and am excited to report that our Brooklyn Connections students enjoyed delving deeper into the history under their desks.

Ten Fastest Selling Cars List Topped by 2011 Hyundai Elantra
That is the result of research compiled by 24/7Wall Street.com based on information supplied by Edmunds.com. It shows the 2011 Hyundai Elantra only sits on dealer lots for 12 days. The next most popular vehicles are the 2011 Audi Q5 and the Kia Soul at 13 days. None of the vehicles take more than 16 days to sell, which means you can't be expecting to find deals on any of these vehicles.
One aspect of the list that is overlooked, which is surprising considering its from a financial website, is the low days to turn sometimes reflects just-in-time manufacturing practices. The Hyundai plant in Montgomery, Ala., for example is turning out cars as fast as it can but it's not turning out more than it needs.
Here is the list as compiled by 24/7WallStreet.com author Douglas McIntyre. The numbers are compiled by 24/7WallStreet. The commentary is all TorqueNews, but would you expect anything less?
One quick note if you happen to read the article. McIntyre refers to the Nissan Maxima as being competition for the Hyundai Elantra. He most likely meant the Nissan Altima. Also, his list goes from 10 to 1, which makes no sense because the Elantra is ranked 10th when it's obviously in the number one spot.
1. Hyundai Elantra
Days to Turn: 12
Price: $16,445
Configuration: 4 Cyl, 4 Door
The Hyundai Elantra is still selling well in spite of hype about it not really getting 40 mpg as claimed by the EPA. This is a solid compact car that is stylish, fun to drive, and relatively affordable. You're not going to be disappointed by its fuel economy either.
2. Audi Q5
Days to Turn: 13
Price: $35,600
Configuration: Turbo 4 Cyl, 5 Door
This is the right-sized version of the Audi Q7, a massive SUV that soaks up gasoline like a thirsty camel after a long desert's march. The Audi Q5, though, is powered by four-cylinder turbo engine that sips fuel in comparison.
3. Kia Soul
Days to Turn: 13
Price: $13,900
Configuration: 4 Cyl — 16 Valve, 5 Door
It's good to see quality, even in the funky styling of the Kia Soul, get rewarded. This is a comfortable, compact crossover utility vehicle that you would be happy to have in your driveway, especially if it came with those Gangsta Hampsters.
4. Toyota Highlander Hybrid
Days to Turn: 14
Price: $38,140
Configuration: 6-Cyl Hybrid, AWD 5-Door
The popularity of the Toyota Highlander Hybrid demonstrates that Americans are basically lemmings. Tell them it's a Toyota and a hybrid and their irrational minds kick in. Buying a Highlander Hybrid does not save you money because it takes 9 years – yes, 9 years – to recoup the additional cost of the standard Highlander over the hybrid version.

The idea of living in a forest upset me a little. But when you've been outcasted by your clan and banished from the Sands where do you go? I'm a Sand Elf, by the way. I was outcasted by my clan for helping a Dark Elf. I'm not sure why, we weren't exactly enemies. But here I was in the forest of Zee-Zinc, miles away from my home. I passed by a group of three friends but chose not to introduce myself. I'm shy. And I wanted to find somewhere that resembled the Sands in the forest. What are the chances?
So, about my looks. I look pretty much like your typical Elf. Around 6ft tall, slim build and those delicately pointed ears. Now for the Sand Elf to kick in. Sand Elves have a more defined point to their ears and the tops of our ears tend to grow at a different angle to our cousins. Our skin is a golden colour which helps us blend in with the sand. It might also be the amount of sun we're exposed to. We have dark blue hair whereas our cousins tend to have black or silver hair. Sand Elves are generally more muscular than Elves, a fact we take pride in. And finally, a Sand Elf coming of age custom is to have a tattoo below the right eye. Each design is unique to the Elf as they have to design it.
On a personal note, my coming of age tattoo starts at the middle of my eye and reaches down below my cheekbone in the shape of a short handled scythe, the handle starting at my eye and extending to my cheekbone. And the blade extends down, lining up with the corner of my mouth. Obviously it's not that big, it only runs down to about the level of the tip of my nose.
And across my left eye I have three scars; claw marks. Remember that Dark Elf I mentioned before? Courtesy of him.

Into the Woods
What is it about the wilderness of the untamed woods that still frightens us today?
Though generation upon generation of our ancestors have plowed through them, torn them down, and domesticated them, the woods—often dense, claustrophobic, and quiet—possess an isolating emptiness that soon have us imagining that someone or something is watching us.
Do you like the woods and the countryside, camping, and hiking? Or will you refuse to step foot outside of civilization?
Given their eeriness, stillness, and the fact that they often cut off our cell phone signals, the woods are the perfect place for telling or setting horror stories, and this has been the case for generations.
Campers, hikers, and park rangers were asked to share the freakiest things that they had experienced in the woods, and these stories will keep you from camping for a while!

Beyond that, specifications are sketchy - it's Wi-Fi equipped, with NFC to make pairing and sharing with compatible smart devices simpler. It also has a 3", hVGA (usually 460k dot) LCD panel. The company promises long battery life and an electronic viewfinder, but in both cases gives no real detail.

LAS VEGAS – January 07, 2014 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd announced the Samsung WB2200F SMART Camera, a Super Bridge Long Zoom camera featuring an incredible 60x Optical Zoom and a unique and comfortable dual grip design. This premium model brings photographers closer to the action and offers powerful optical performance ideal for photographers who value high quality imagery, long battery life and want the ability to share memories instantly.
"For years, super bridge long-zoom cameras have largely been focused on improved optical zoom as a key selling point. In the Samsung WB2200F SMART Camera, Samsung delivers an impressive 60x Optical Zoom lens, but we've also prioritized improved image quality, smarter design and our industry-leading SMART Cameras 3.0 Technology," said Ron Gazzola, Vice President, Marketing for Digital Imaging, Samsung Electronics America. "Specifically, the new comfortable dual grip design on the WB2200F SMART Camera brings a new look and feel to the often ubiquitous super bridge long zoom category."
Smarter Design
With a dual-grip design and solid professional appearance, the WB2200F is comfortable and easy to hold. Its Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) makes photographers' jobs easier and more pleasurable, and the device's unique i-Function control offers advanced elements that facilitate full manual control at the touch of a button. Amateur and expert photographers alike can also benefit from more fully automatic SMART Modes ranging from capturing the beauty of a setting sun with 'Sunset' mode to reliving the excitement of a fast-paced sporting event with 'Action Freeze' mode.
An Improved Imaging Experience
The outstanding 60x Optical Zoom allows photographers to capture more intimate shots and get closer to their subject, ensuring that images taken from afar retain impressive detail and accuracy.With the option to operate the zoom at double speed, or to go directly from zero to 60x zoom, the range of flexible shooting options provide greater image control to help secure the desired shots. With a 20mm Ultra Wide angle lens users can pack even more into the frame to create vibrant images that don't miss a thing. The camera also features a 16MP BSI CMOS sensor, which produces still images alive with color and rich in detail and 1080/30p Full HD Movie recording, which can be enjoyed in in brilliant detail on the 75.0mm (3.0-inch) hVGA LCD screen that also displays the device's EVF.
Simply Tap to Share Memories
Boasting the latest SMART Camera 3.0 connectivity features, the WB2200F is equipped with NFC and Wi-Fi capabilities so that photographers can share their creations easily and quickly. The brand new 'Tag & Go' feature even goes one step further, seamlessly connecting the WB2200F with smartphones through simply touching the two devices together, no configuration required. This then enables a host of clever features designed to improve both usability and functionality. Photo Beam sends photos being viewed on the camera straight to smartphones, while AutoShare saves images straight to smartphone in real time, removing the burden of manually backing up pictures. With Remote Viewfinder photographers can use their smartphone to control the WB2200F, a great solution for setting up group or individual shots, while Mobile Link allows the transfer of selected images to smartphones to help organize the viewing experience.

do they make it in `pink´? that´ll be a nice touch to that beautiful design ;-)).
. . . and there are other pink versions too! ;)
Clearly designed as a daylight, outdoor camera. 1200mm should tell you as much... There exist accessories in this world that will let you trigger an external flash using the built-in one. But how many people really stick a flash on a bridge camera? Ultrazooms are not really "for" studio photography, just to state the obvious...
With a sensor size that small, they should've just made the sensor square.
Why the extra weight and bulk of the battery grip. Can you see uncle Bob shooting a wedding with this:D. I am gonna wet my pants when I see that.
And why do all manufacturers want to win I got the longest dick (zoom) contest.
I think it's still better than those people shoot wedding with iPad lifted high up, blocking everyone's view...
It's likely because some people likes to shoot something afar, unable (or lazy) to walk up to that something, don't want to invest much on expensive dSLR system, and don't care much of the quality. And I'd say that's convincing amount of niche market (that's where I was few years ago, too). Not everyone are enthusiastic enough to get into interchangeable systems, and camera manufacturers must know that.
Yes I don't want to kick all superzooms.
Some work really well. But the all companies don't seem interested in making them.
The panasonic fz200 is good because of the 2.8. It's results at 600mm are sharper then any other superzoom at 600mm. An product of diffraction physics.
The Olympus stylus 1 is even better but only goes to 300mm.
Then you have the sony rx10 that I think went a little bit too far.
With small compacts there are many good options.
Basicly all 1/1.7 inch camera's with fast 4-5 times zooms work really well.
The problem is supply. Of all the compacts announced on CES only 1 fits these requirements.
And that is the weird storytelling Canon N100.
If something as juvenile as that wins an fair in image quality you know it's bad
Yuck! that thing is HUGE and ugly as hell. All that for a tiny 1/2.3 inch sensor and a mediocre aperture range?
But, at least you LOOK like a freaking BOSS while taking pics with it....even though your pics will suck. (relative to other camera options). :-)
I don't know, i don't like that camera as well... but how do you know someone's pic will suck just with those tech spec (yes it 'sucks' by standard, but it does not mean it's capable to shoot some decent pics)? I'm so amazed how photography survived through history and art if it was all about camera appearance and tech specs.
An 35mm film camera is capable of resolving more detail as these tiny sensors. BW film also had much more dynamic range.
The 35mm format also gave the user access to subject isolation. Especially since 50mm f1.8 were just as common as 18-55mm now. So in terms of creating stunning pictures these camera's are an big step backward since the analog days. All of that for the convenience of more zoom.
This thing reminds me on the car Homer Simpson designed for his brother's company.
The only mistake about the camera is, its sensor size.
If only it had a hotshoe....I always loved the idea of my minolta 7Hi, though it did not always have the best I.Q. I would definitely consider some thing like this for a light travel camera...if it had a hotshoe.
You could have this by your side to "Look pro" and use the x100s or XE2 or ______M43 camera for your real shots. Lol!
Samsung makes very good cameras (I have some) but this one is almost as ugly as Nikon V2 camera...
The lens sounds awfully lot like the one from Panasonic FZ70. Now not just Olympus but Panasonic too sells its lenses for fixed-lens cameras?
I'm surprised at people complaining about f-stop, body size en sensor size of a camera like this. How small would you like a body to be when shooting at 1200 mm? Of course there are also trade-offs like small maximum aperture and a small sensor. But where else would you get 1200 mm shooting ability at the price of a camera like this? Nowhere. And have a look at the quality of photos people are getting from the similar Canon SX50. Really good enough to fill your average computer screen with a sharp picture. Also this is the one camera category that won't easily be replaced by a cell phone.
I'm not sure that anyone needs a 1200mm equivalent lens with a small, high megapixel sensor and the styling of a full frame SLR? We've been seeing a futile "Zoom War" with disappointing results. The best of the class around 600mm and seems the cheaper they get, the longer the powered zoom. There are just too many 1000mm to 1200mm small sensor megazooms on the market, which makes the point that quality cameras are emphasizing aperture and IQ, not enormous zoom and MP specs.
It looks as if Samsung is making unspecified claims about battery life, which may or may not explain the incongruous bottom handle. Not that battery life is a huge issue in the last few years.
I would insult all of the critics, intelligence here on dpreview.... but I can't think of anything dumb enough to say
How about something in your native tongue - HEEE HAAAWWW!!!!
you should be able to understand that..............
why don't you go donate your organs.......... people are tired of your massive rushes of S**T to the brain
I must have insulted a lot of self professed critics here... i sure touched a lot of nerves .....good ....there are way too many knowitalls who are narcoliptic imensosities on this site who have nothing better to do than flatulate with their mouths. ooohh yess I dare to mock and ridicule your stupidity
Oh yeah, Samsung, of course! For those who want to look like a pro and argue who has more megapixels... I would write the max. zoom with even bigger numbers on the lens and so that it is visible when holding the camera by any of the grips. Oh, and what about putting something like "DUAL GRIP" on the box? See? There are couple of marketing flaws to be updated...
DUAL GRIP in big letters running along both grips! Yeah that would make this at least 14% more awesome and give it like a million kudos points :P
samsung, make bulldozers and rollers not cameras ! ! !
Why not, i'd say? Samsung wasn't good mobile phone company until recent years, but they are doing great now (some might disagree, but look how many own Galaxy whatever phones regardless).
As long as they stimulate innovation in the industry through competition, though i'm not likely to buy their camera, i think it's all fine.
They literally put junk in a bigger body thinking that everyone will see it as a full frame camera. They are probably right. Most people will think that this is a pro camera when it is not.
This is a dumb comment.
The camera has a legitimate use - the dual grip is necessary for longer focal lengths if you're shooting in a portrait composition anyway.
Oh unless you're saying that an average consumer doesn't need 1200mm because they didn't buy the right to take photos like that. Like you.
Useful to me or not aside, we should encourage these type of out-box-thinking.
Your child is probably playing with a Chinese-made toy right now. And s/he likes it. And most assuredly has a better attitude about the variety of experiences in a big, complex, and at times scary world. Meanwhile, here we stand taking pot shots at any uncles who might have the audacity of thinking themselves professional like ourselves. Photographers. This is why I try never to invite others to the BBQ. Yeah, yeah, I get it...you are funny. But it is that weird passive-aggressive funny; the one that fails to hide your sadness.
D1N0: your mortality is your business. I apologize for my tone at times and the length of my comments, if this is the basis of your dig; I drink copious amount of coffee and get excited to express things, some far flung tangents among them. Sometimes I'm annoyed by my own comments. On another site a while back, someone told me that I spoke like a butler. This tickled me for weeks. And, in thinking about it, I tend to like butlers.
This is a small sensor camera in a full frame body. That doesn't make it take better pictures than a small sensor camera.
Probably not. But, it may give longer battery life and a more comfortable grip and a longer zoom. If the Image Quality is the same, and that is good, wouldn't all of those items mean a better camera?
Besides, it is a little premature to comment on image quality, no?
This sure is a killer bridge camera. 20-1200mm view in a camera that looks like what people think a high-end camera should look like.
Don't know what they use the space in the bottom grip for... does it take AA batteries? Actually, I use a lot of cameras tethered and this could be pretty wonderful for that.. now we just have to get them to put a motor-driven tripod mount in the base so it can do pan/tilt via remote....
The odd bottom grip design might have something to do with the battery, at least according to the awkwardly worded press release. Taken out of context, there's one line in that press release that is absolutely hilarious. In any case, this camera may or may not have a larger than usual battery. The battery model number is "BP-1410," a new model number and no capacity is listed. Anyway, it's supposedly a camera with the sensor from last year's compact. Ho hum.
If you want a thrill, read the press release and try to find the unintentional double entendre at the end of the first paragraph.
Wow, it has physical controls. Samsung, what are you doing..!?!?
@b craw,
I own an NX11 and I never use the iFn button. Because everything I can access with it, already have a dedicated button and is accessed with a SINGLE click rather than pressing the iFn button several times. But I miss the OIS switch of the first versions of the kit lenses, and the Samsung designers forgot to give to the user the possibility to program the iFn button to toggle the OIS on or off...
There are a lot of things nobody asked for until someone made it.
FZ rating (-3) http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/52339583
The commitment to a serious step in superzoom image quality is refreshing.
Glad to see a 20mm start, I just wish it was f/1.4 @ 20mm, and f/2.8 @ 600 (ala Panny FZ-200). I understand that f/5.9 may be the best we could expect at 1200mm.
But personally I still need a UWA converter to get to 12-14mm (equiv), w/out vignetting.
I wonder if it will have the 12fps burst-rate and other features of FZ-200.
I like the "looks" of the dual-handle, looks very "professional". (But now I need a BIGGER "POCKET" .... LOL)
And of course the remaining question is IQ and lens-sharpness.
I curious to see the bottom-plate... just to see if they have a bog-standard door for battery & memory card.
Would they really put in the "traditional" side-loading tray for one big rechargeable battery, two regular rechargeable batteries, and/or a AA-battery tray?
I guess if you want to have a camera with "Pro styling" - without actually being anywhere near the features of a "Pro" camera - then this is what you've been waiting for. :)
what´s THAT? shall look like a FF-DSLR at first glance or what? Looks like you can better build a wall with such cams instead of putting it in a reasonable bag :D All this 1/2.33"-60x-zoom-crap instead of a 2/3"-20x-zoom with a good IQ....but a company that also sells SLRs will never give us what they really COULD do in respect of a pro-bridges i assume.....
Because we can.
I don't see one manufacturer breaking through with something more powerful, yet more elegant and simpler to operate. The entire modern digital camera interface needs to be re-thought, but that would take re-working all the existing sub-assemblies on the circuit boards, etc.
Yes, I, too, want to be paid by Samsung to leave comments such as this. Please PM me so I can send you my payment details.
Dual grip on a pinhead sensor superzoom brings the utterly useless to a whole new level. Because hey, my camera weighs 400 grams with a battery installed, so why not use a grip conceived for a full frame reflex with a 1 kg lens attached on it?
Why the "/sarcasm"?
I read it as Gesture didn't see one manufacturer - including Samsung - breaking through with a camera design & interface which had been rethought to make a powerful camera more elegant and simpler to operate.
I read it as Gesture criticizing this camera, not applauding it.
not crazy about the look but I like the zoom range.
I own a canon SX50, Canon S110 and Canon 70D+24-70 USM II.
super zoom have it's place.
I LOVE the canon SX50. while the IQ is not the best and far from my 70D it is a very useful and low cost alternative to a super zoom lens. that mounts on a DSLR.
places like zoo and just walking around the park I perfer a super zoom caon sx50 just because I can get close to animals with the large zoom and see things in the distance.
IF this samsung have features that is missing that I ace for in my sx50
I would be interested.
with good stabilization you can get decent shots even at 1200mm
I misunderstood your point Gesture, sorry for the sarcastic tone of my reply! :)

Nearly two dozen adults who want to go back to school during tough economic times will be able to get a little extra help from Edgewood College.
The school has announced it will grant 20 scholarships of $1,000 each for adults to use at any not-for-profit Wisconsin college or university - not just Edgewood.
Adults looking to further their education through an accelerated degree or professional studies program may register starting at noon on April 28 at the college's web site to apply for the opportunity to receive a scholarship.
The deadline to apply is May 24. On that day, winners will be chosen randomly and will receive a check for $1,000 at the completion of their first semester at any not-for-profit college or university in Wisconsin.
To be eligible, an applicant must be a resident of the 50 United States and be a "non-traditional" student. That means you are at least one of the following:
* Someone who delays enrollment (does not enter postsecondary education in the same calendar year that he or she finished high school) in order to enter the workforce or military service; * Plans to attend school part time; * Works while enrolled; * Is considered financially independent; * Has dependents other than a spouse.
To be eligible, you must not have been enrolled at a college, technical college, or university at any time in the 2009 calendar year.
