This paper reports upon a research project which considered the transfer of students' mathematical understanding across different task contexts. The research involved two groups of students from contrasting learning environments. The first environment was characterised by the complete integration of mathematical process and content using open ended activities. The second environment represented a 'typical' English classroom with a content based scheme being predominantly used. The research demonstrated that the procedure and performance of students in response to addition and fraction tasks varied considerably when the context of the tasks changed. This variation suggested that students' perceptions of the contexts were individually constructed and contexts did not have a uniform effect upon the difficulty of tasks. The research also suggested that students who had learned in an environment characterised by the integration of process and content were more able to transfer their learning across contexts. Students who had learned mathematical process independently of content were more likely to vary their procedure and performance in response to the contexts of the tasks. This was considered in relation to the problems of 'school' — 'real world' transfer and the effectiveness of different learning environments.

Sounds Around Town: On New Year's Eve
By Neil Strauss
Published: December 29, 1995
Here are choices by pop critics of The New York Times of New Year's Eve celebrations that were not sold out at press time. (An introduction appears on page C1.)
Pop and Rock
Disk Jockeys
Essence. Industry/Amnesia, 50 Broadway, Island Park, L.I., (516) 951-1267. If New Year's Eve is a time to look back while contemplating the future, then this Long Island rave is a great place to do it. The veteran disk jockey Frankie Bones, who helped bring techno dance-music to New York clubs, will mix the old and the new along with a gaggle of other house and rave disk jockeys. The invitation promises revelers the opportunity to watch the ball drop "in a fiber-optic, virtual simulator module," but if you've traveled this far, why spend midnight watching television? The party begins at 8 P.M. and lasts 12 hours; admission is $26 in advance and $30 on Sunday. NEIL STRAUSS
Lounge Chic
Buster Poindexter. Bottom Line, 15 West Fourth Street, Greenwich Village, (212) 228-6300. Many music fans keep hoping Buster Poindexter will hang up his pompadour and transform back into David Johansen, his original name, to make good old-fashioned rock-and-roll. But fans of sheer entertainment prefer Buster Poindexter's sense of fashion: lounge chic. Mr. Poindexter, who began his career in the cross-dressing punk band the New York Dolls, jumbles Louis Jordan, W. C. Fields and Ike Turner up into one smarmy lump. Backed by a 12-piece band, he mixes the usual slick quips with sardonic songs of drinking and good times. Tickets available for the 1 A.M. performance; admission is $25. N. S.
White-Trash Barbecue
Southern Culture on the Skids. Maxwell's, 1039 Washington Street, Hoboken, N.J., (201) 798-4064. Ringing in the New Year with Southern Culture on the Skids is akin to spending the night at a surreal white-trash barbecue. The band comes armed with fried chicken for lucky audience members and a masked wrestler known as Santo for unlucky audience members. The trio plays down-and-dirty swamp boogie and fuzztone rock-and-roll influenced by Link Wray, the Big Bopper and Hasil Adkins. And they're tighter and more accomplished than song titles like "Daddy Was a Preacher but Mama Was a Go-Go Girl," "Dirt Track Date" and "Fried Chicken and Gasoline" would lead you to believe. Also appearing: the Muffs and Cub. The show begins at 10:30 P.M.; admission is $25. N. S. Hard, Loud and Bad
D Generation; Speedball Baby; Trick Babys. Coney Island High, 15 St. Marks Place, East Village, (212) 674-7959. The concept of rocking -- of being hard, loud and bad -- consumes these three New York City bands. It's in the way they dress, strut and play. D Generation sounds as if it's been weaned on the glam-rock of T. Rex and the New York Dolls and sings about its love-hate relationships with New York, its drugs and its hangers-on.
Speedball Baby doesn't sing, it testifies, delivering preacher-style lyrics over dirty, dissonant rockabilly and punk. (Make sure you hold onto your drinks when the band's singer, Ron Ward, starts climbing on the tables.) The Trick Babys combine D Generation's 70's glam and punk influences, Speedball Baby's rockabilly revisits and a little bit of soul. Doors open at 8 P.M.; tickets are $10 in advance and $15 on the day of the show. N. S.
Cryptic and Cerebral
Babe the Blue Ox. Brownie's, 169 Avenue A, between 10th and 11th Streets, East Village, (212) 420-8392. The closest Babe the Blue Ox, a Brooklyn rock trio, gets to revelry is its version of Billy Squier's 1980's party anthem, "Everybody Wants You." Otherwise, expect cryptic metaphors, tangled guitar lines and sudden changes in rhythm from this moody, cerebral art-rock band. Also appearing: Very Pleasant Neighbor and Oral Groove. The show is at 11 P.M.; admission is $10. N. S.
Anti-Folk Survivor
Lach. Fort at Sidewalk Cafe, 94 Avenue A at East 6th Street, East Village, (212) 473-7373. Like black snow, stalled subway cars and random violence, Lach is a Manhattan institution. His anti-folk concerts have actually outlived the institution (the Greenwich Village folk scene) that they were originally founded to react against. Such singers as Beck, Cindy Lee Berryhill and Michelle Shocked have passed through their anti-folk stages, but Lach has persevered, singing punk- and rock-informed folk songs about Hillary Clinton, a ghost and a person who has never been outside. The show is at 9:30 P.M. No cover, one drink minimum; champagne toast at midnight. Lach will return to the Sidewalk Cafe on Monday evening at 8 for a hangover show. N. S.
Drugs and Cartoons
Moe; Screaming Headless Torsos. Wetlands, 161 Hudson Street, at Laight Street, TriBeCa, (212) 966-4225. A rising star on the horizon of psychedelic jam bands, the Buffalo quartet Moe takes its inspiration from the Allman Brothers, Frank Zappa, recreational drugs and Saturday morning cartoons. Its songs groove and drone, curl and jerk, a far cry from the in-your-face jazz-funk-metal of the Screaming Headless Torsos. The bands are playing at 10 P.M. and 2 A.M., with Moe returning for a 5 A.M. breakfast show (with bagels) for die-hard revelers. Admission is $20. N. S.
Negative Energy (Suicide)
Xanax 25. CBGB, 315 Bowery, at Bleecker Street, East Village, (212) 982-4052. Just because Xanax 25 got its start performing at the hippie-haven club Wetlands doesn't mean that when its vocalist, Jaik Miller, sings in "All This," "I want to know can I end all this suffering?" he's talking about world peace. He's talking about suicide, a favorite topic for this New York band that mixes heavy-metal density with punk-rock attitude. And what better way is there to ring in the New Year in Manhattan than with negative energy and a self-destructive attitude? Also appearing: the more upbeat Maul Girls and, from upstate New York, Cherokee Sex Workshop. The show is at 9 P.M.; admission is $15. N. S.
Out of Obscurity
Faith. Here, 145 Avenue of the Americas, at Spring Street, South Village, (212) 647-0202. One of the most promising bands in the Black Rock Coalition, Faith has slowly slid into obscurity in the past few years. The quartet mixes hard rock, funk and reggae into smooth, exhilarating pop as its bassist, Felice Rosser, sings in a voice both plangent and wailing. Maybe the band will make a New Year's resolution to reunite more often. Also appearing: Arabella's Space Rock and the Sissys. The show is at 9 P.M.; admission is $25. N. S.

Responses of pikas (Ochotona princeps, Lagomorpha) to naturally occurring terrestrial predators

The responses of individually marked pikas (Ochotona princeps) to terrestrial predators were investigated in 1980 and 1981 in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Pikas uttered short call vocalizations in a variety of contexts: preceding or following an individual's movement, and in response to conspecifics, other nonpredaceous mammals and predators. Adult pikas apparently discriminated contexts in which predators were present by short calling more frequently and for longer duration compared with calling in nonpredator contexts. Short calls uttered by juveniles were similar in all contexts.
Adults responded differently to two types of terrestrial predators: weasels and pine martens. Pikas called less frequently in response to weasels than to martens and avoided weasels more often than martens. They delayed the initiation of calling following the first sighting of a weasel more often than to martens. Weasels were determined to be more effective predators of pikas than martens, and these asymmetries in behavior and alarm vocalizations may indicate that responses reduce an individual's risk of predaton by weasels.
Both male and female pikas called in response to predators, and residents called more often than nonresidents. The possible function of predator-related vocalization in pikas is discussed. It is suggested that calls to predators may function to warn local residents, which in pikas are usually closely related.

Hong Kong-based reinsurer Peak Reinsurance has been granted a licence to underwrite long term reinsurance business by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance of Hong Kong.
Peak Re said it believes there are significant opportunities in the life and health market in the Asia Pacific region for reinsurers that understand the region and have a long term commitment to serving their clients and the local societies.
Peak Re's life & health team will be led by Angela Koechli who will oversee the company's life and health reinsurance business.
Prior to Peak Re, Koechli spent three years with Aon Benfield where she was head of life reinsurance in Asia Pacific. She has more than 30 years' life re/insurance experience having worked with Swiss Re, Union Re, Winterthur Life and setting up her own actuarial consulting firm in 2001.
Also joining the team are Rani Rajasingham as senior vice president (SVP) and chief actuary life & health, Margarette Tan as SVP, operations, life & health and Santanu Kumar Dutta as vice president, underwriting, life & health.

Having the long term business licence is a major milestone for us as we are now one of the first local start-up reinsurers to underwrite a book of both property & casualty and life & health reinsurance business in the Asia Pacific region."
Koechli said: "Our strategy is based on people, technology and commitment. We have a team of professionals with credible experience in life re/insurance in Asia and the highest ethical standards.

Adelaide, Australia – In order to create an environment where patients feel more at ease and more comfortable, Philips today announced the Australian-first installation of both its Ambient Experience solution and Ingenia Digital MRI system at the Women's & Children's Hospital in Adelaide.
Children who undergo an MRI scan at the hospital will now be able to personalise their environment and take control over what can be an intimidating clinical process, leading to a better experience for families and better clinical outcomes.
Ambient Experience integrates technologies such as lighting, sound and projection, together with architecture and design, to create an engaging environment that is more efficient for hospital staff, in addition to being less stressful for patients. Using a touchscreen tablet to set the room theme, soothing lights, visuals and sound immediately fill the room to soothe patients undergoing MRI examinations, which can be especially stressful for children.
Dr. Rebecca Linke, Unit Head Paediatric Imaging at the Women's and Children's Hospital in Adelaide believes the Ambient Experience installation will provide significant improvements in patient care.
"It is going to transform the new MRI suite into a more comfortable, less intimidating place by providing a positive distraction for young patients, as well as a more efficient workplace for hospital staff," said Dr. Linke. "The MRI process can be very scary for children and the ambient system will help entertain and relax the patients. The goal is to reduce their anxiety so we can perform the examination quickly and easily."
The Philips Ambient Experience has been proven at over 266 sites worldwide to reduce anxiety and the need for sedation. One study reported a 16 per cent decrease in sedation rates for the overall pediatric population aged 0-18 years, with a 28 per cent reduction amongst 0-4 year olds. This results in an increase in throughput and cost savings for the hospital, as without sedation, scans can be completed within 30 minutes as opposed to around 4 hours with sedation1.
Commenting on the installation, Harry Van Dyk, Country Manager Philips Australia and New Zealand said, "Ambient Experience goes beyond lights and sounds. It's an overall patient-focused design strategy. It has been installed globally in a range of clinical environments, and our design consultants have taken special care to address the needs of the clinical staff at the Women's and Children's Hospital. Coupled with the introduction of the first Ingenia Digital MRI, it will be the most advanced suite of its kind in the country."
Philips Ingenia: The First Digital Broadband MR
In addition, the Women's & Children's Hospital is also the first site in Australia to use the Philips Ingenia 1.5T state-of-the-art digital MRI system, which is set to revolutionise the patient experience and improve efficiencies for clinical staff. The world's first digital MRI system not only provides clearer pictures but a more comfortable patient experience with lighter and less obtrusive coils.
The system represents, for the first time in MRI, the move from analog to digital signal acquisition and processing needed to generate better patient images. Being able to maintain the digital connection throughout the entire MRI scanning process means Ingenia is able to generate up to a 40 percent improvement in signal-to-noise ratio which, results in a clearer picture and improves diagnostic confidence.
Ingenia is also the first to incorporate an integrated, hidden posterior coil into the bed, enabling full body coverage and eliminating the need for multiple connecting coils, which makes the patient experience more comfortable. Overall, the system allows clinicians to get the job done quickly with a 30 percent increase in throughput and cost savings for hospitals.
The innovations have been funded in part by the Little Heroes Foundation in Adelaide to assist children in coping with difficult hospital environments. The new site at the Women's and Children's Hospital will assist thousands of young children in South Australia, as well as catering to children in Victoria and the Northern Territory.

Beginning today, until December 31, 2015, I will be collecting donations of knitting needles, crochet hooks, yarn, and pre-owned pattern books for the Typhoon Haiyan women survivors of Tacloban for this very worthy cause. I ask that you consider this project as worthwhile of your assistance.
As many of you know, I am from the Philippines. In November of 2013, my home country was hit by Super Typhoon Haiyan, resulting in devastation in the region of Tacloban. Now, two years later, life has returned to some kind of normalcy in the area, but there is still much that needs to be done.
Recently, I was contacted by my high school classmate and fellow maker, Candy Reyes-Alipio, about a project that she is currently involved in. She is part of a group called Knitting Expedition and is involved in teaching knitting to women in the Philippines as a livelihood skill.
She recently returned from a trip to Tacloban, where in partnership with a local designer, Tipay Caintic and non-governmental organization (NGO) SANKATIGAN, she taught the ladies of the community to knit. SANKATIGAN was created to provide a safe space for the survivor women and children to play and move onwards from the tragedy of the great storm of two years ago. Now, the women are being taught crafting as a livelihood skill to provide a dignified source of income.
|Photo Credit: Candy Reyes - Alipio
In July 2015, Ms. Caintic brought a group from Craft MNL to teach the ladies how to crochet. Here is a video of that project and the impact it will have for these women.
The women of SANKATIGAN are enjoying their new learned skills and must continue to practice. Currently, they are working with donated materials of varying grades, hindering their ability to meet their potential to create consistent high-quality, salable items.
|Photo Credit: Candy Reyes - Alipio
On behalf of the women of SANKATIGAN, I am calling on you, my dear friends, fellow teachers, and makers to step up and help these women. Please consider donating knitting needles, crochet hooks, pattern books, and yarn for this worthy cause. Feel free to buy a set from your local yarn shop or craft store, or give any of your extra needles and materials and send them to me for collection and shipping to the Philippines. All your donations will be cataloged and accounted for once they have been received.
If you would like to participate, please let me know either by commenting below, sending me a private message, or e-mail. You may also mail the donation items directly to me at:
Handmade Love and Joy
PO Box 491
Cherry Hill, NJ 08003
Please remember to include your contact information (Name, address, e-mail address and/or telephone number) so I can acknowledge receipt of your donation.
If you are in the Philippines and would like to participate as well, please let me know and I will direct you to the persons who can help you there.

PRACTICAL TRAVELER; Updating Air Travel Security
By JOHN H. CUSHMAN Jr.;
Published: May 2, 1993
ALTHOUGH the air traveler might as well try to influence the weather as to affect airline and airport security, there is something to be said for keeping informed about the risks of crime and terrorism while traveling.
Big corporations, after all, try to protect their employees who must sometimes travel in risky places; so isn't there something that passengers can do along the same lines?
With rare exceptions, travelers are not told about threats to security unless there is a specific threat that is considered plausible. For example, last month the Federal Aviation Administration warned airports to be on the alert for a possible terrorist attack, but did not make any public announcement to that effect because the intelligence that led to the warning was not specific or plausible enough. (The alert expired without incident on April 20.)
When it's known that security will be unusually tight, passengers have to plan for delays at the airport. But even after the World Trade Center bombing, when Newark, La Guardia and Kennedy Airports increased their security, the general rule of showing up one hour early for domestic flights and two hours before international flights sufficed. Outlining Precautions
Of course, passengers should certainly avoid letting strangers pack their bags and should refuse to carry parcels for people they don't know. If for some reason you cannot adhere to this rule, be sure to inform airport security officials; any such luggage should be carefully inspected by the airlines.
For those inclined simply to avoid areas where civil unrest is rampant, it's easy to check with the State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs about local conditions. The Government's travel advisories are often published in newspapers and are carried on commercial computer bulletin board services; recorded information can be heard by telephoning the State Department's travel advisory line, at (202) 647-5225.
On the State Department's current list of foreign destinations where travelers should be cautious, for example, is Egypt, where tourists have been targeted by Islamist radicals. (For that matter, Germany has warned its citizens to be careful if they go to Miami; criminals in that city have been preying on tourists, whom they identify by the license plates of rented cars -- plates now being phased out.)
But although terrorists often strike at airlines and airports, it is very unusual for the United States Government to warn against a particular foreign airport it considers to be especially insecure.
At the moment, the only airport in the world where the United States Government explicitly warns of security risks is the airport in Lagos, Nigeria. Last October, following inspections by officials from the F.A.A., the agency determined that it did not meet the minimum security standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations agency.
The situation has not yet been corrected, according to Lynne A. Osmus, the F.A.A.'s director of security operations. There is only one United States airline with regularly scheduled service to Lagos, she said, American Trans Air, and it has been ordered to beef up its own security to help protect its passengers.
That's the only recourse the F.A.A. has, besides being responsible for the bad publicity that comes from naming airports with unremedied problems. In fact, the agency, which routinely monitors security at airports around the world by agreement with foreign governments, has only rarely warned of lax security: at Buenos Aires in late 1991, Lima in late 1990 and Manila in 1986. Each time, with advice from the F.A.A.'s security experts, the foreign airport corrected the problems in a matter of a few months.
The international aviation organization's security rules are not as tough as those that govern United States airlines and airports. And foreign airlines, although they must have security plans approved by the F.A.A. before carrying passengers to and from the United States, do not have to meet the same standards as American airlines.
So some people, including domestic airline officials, maintain that the safest airlines are generally the United States airlines. That might be contested by some of the world's prestigious airlines (El Al, for example, is reputed to have the best security in the world). Nevertheless, it seems reasonable to suggest that in flying to or from many trouble spots around the world, it would be wiser to use a heavily regulated American airline than one regulated by a foreign government. World Trade Center Bombing
Sometimes, of course, terrorism hits close to home, as in the case of the World Trade Center bombing in February. Since the World Trade Center is operated by the Port Authority, which runs Newark, Kennedy and La Guardia Airports, all three of those airports immediately imposed tighter security restrictions.
The tighter security was announced publicly, and although travelers were not greatly inconvenienced, it always makes sense in such circumstances to plan ahead and allow plenty of time to pass through any special screening before flights. (Travelers should also be especially careful at such times not to park their cars unattended in forbidden zones, or leave luggage unattended.)
Even so, ordinarily, a traveler cannot be sure whether airports in the United States have beefed-up security precautions, as happens from time to time because of vague intelligence reports. Relatively few probably realized that a month after the World Trade Center bombing, the F.A.A. raised a new security alert and notified airports all over the country to be especially cautious.
"We have indications that a terrorist organization may be preparing to attack U.S. and/or other Western interests in the next several days," warned a security directive issued on March 20. "We cannot confirm the target or country for the possible operation. This organization has previously staged a variety of terrorist attacks against U.S. interests overseas, including car bombings, hijackings and kidnappings." However, the notice added, "At this time, we have no information to indicate a specific threat to U.S. civil aviation."
It is not clear what tipped off the agency to the danger, but aviation industry officials speculated that it may have been related to a letter circulated by the House Republican Research Committee's task force on terrorism in March. The letter warned that Islamist groups supported by Iran might strike on or around March 19, a day when Islamist extremists renew the vow to retake Jerusalem.
During the Gulf war, airports and airlines around the country were put on higher levels of alert on orders of the F.A.A.
But the agency is about to adopt a new strategy of "flexible response," which will allow it to single out individual airlines or airports as conditions merit, instructing them to take special security steps without affecting the whole industry. Once that happens, travelers might from time to time notice an increase in security at a particular airport. Nevertheless, they usually won't be told what the reason is.

EWTN's spectacular Spring season lineup, which begins in March 1 and continues through June, features programming about Fatima, life issues, and spiritual battles.
Browsing: Culture
Catherine Baugh recommends National Geographic's "The Story of God," noting that we need more programs to bring people to the water coolers and talk about God.
Bishop Robert Barron observes that preoccupation with "the pelvic issues" has served to undermine the work of evangelization.
Bishop Barron evaluates the Netflix series "The Crown": nothing can be permitted to violate the God-given moral values upon which a society is rightly constructed.
As we enter into the 100th anniversary of Fatima, we have an obligation to talk about the wrong thinking in today's culture. Mary Lou Rosien explains.
Kate Taliaferro shares a sweet story about how Frosty the Snowman and Jesus collided in her daughter's dream to inspire you to keep the Christmas spirit alive all year long.
Elena LaVictoire and her family enjoy a special treats to help them remember all of the O antiphons.
Can beauty save the world? Charisse Tierney draws on St. John Paul II's Letter to Artists to explain the importance of beauty and the arts in our children's lives.
Bishop Robert Barron reviews the film "Doctor Strange," concluding that as does "Star Wars," which also features a young man going through a needed apprenticeship, this movie initiates us into a fundamentally Gnostic space, a realm of spiritual powers, both good and evil, engaged in a relentless and never-ending struggle.
Catherine Mendenhall-Baugh examines the origins of this week's Catholic celebrations and how we can continue to honor the saints and holy souls.
Bishop Robert Barron maintains that it should be altogether possible to hold up the virtue of a woman without denying virtue to a man.
Parents and educators have the key role in seeing that our young people receive an education that cultivates an authentic, healthy and faith-filled development of each child's unique identity for the present and the future. Learn how CMGConnect Parents and Covenant Eyes can help.
Krisanne Vaillancourt Murphy takes her cue from Pope Francis' papal exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, in guiding her children's walk toward a culture of encounter.
Since ancient Rome, blaming Christians has been a popular game. John Clark reminds us that the modern media's finger-pointing fiasco is nothing new.
Did you know that in this year, 2016, we celebrate a handful of remarkable historical anniversaries? A little knowledge about the world is always timely, so Rebecca Willen brings your dose of history for the day, distilled into five convenient bullet points.

Industrial insights (free jelly beans). State-of-the-art technologies (free gelato). Internationally renowned engineering.
Oh, and free beer.
No-cost company tours can expand your knowledge without shrinking your wallet. Tours of local businesses make for great free entertainment, delivering not only behind-the-scenes secrets, but - wa-hoo! - free samples and souvenirs.
Forget the boring factory tours your parents dragged you on when you were a kid. These days, commercial tours are high-tech and fun marketing tools that introduce you to a company and its products.
"This is so much more than it was years ago," said Shirley Runde of Kieler, Wis., who joined her family on a recent Miller brewery tour and compared it with the tour she took decades ago. "I really enjoyed it now. You get to see so much, and it's great."
One tip: Call ahead to make reservations and confirm tour hours, which can change often. Then pull on your walking shoes, line up to the right, please, and join some of the best of the free tours local businesses have to offer.
When: Typically 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, but call to confirm.
How long: about an hour
What visitors need: The stamina to walk several blocks during the tour.
What you'll see: The champagne of local business tours. Through videos and first-hand viewing, visitors learn how beer is made and bottled. The tour begins at the recently updated visitor center that displays a Miller beer timeline starting in 1855, with marketing memorabilia that includes the famous 1903 Girl in the Moon image. Then view the gleaming brewing vats and thousands of cases of Miller beer brands as they trundle their way through the plant and out the shipping doors.
"Wow" moment: The historic caves, where brewery pioneers once housed beer kegs to keep them cold and where today the ghost of Frederick Miller returns to give visitors "Ein Prosit."
Freebies: Free beer or soda samples in the Bavarian-style Miller Inn. You can't do carry-outs, but then, who would want to when you have all this froth right here?
When: Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays; reservations required.
How long: 30 minutes to an hour
What you'll see: All things great and yummy. You and your appetite will wind through most of the store's departments, everything from bakery to seafoods, as your guide explains the store's natural foods sources and marketing.
"Wow" moment: "People like the seafood department a lot. We talk about sustainability and how Whole Foods delivers the best of the catch," said Autumn Faughn, company spokeswoman.
Freebies: A delicious sampling stop at the gelato bar, plus store coupons.
When: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Sundays; call to confirm.
How long: 30 minutes
What you'll see: Your kid-in-a-candy-store dream come true. You'll get bean-boozled when you board a train at Jelly Belly Junction in the JB factory. Chug away through the distribution center to see where 100 years of candy-making tradition comes together. Videos show how the Jelly Belly master candy-makers create everything from candy corn to jelly beans to gummies.
"Wow" moment: Seeing the giant jelly beans hanging from the ceiling.
Freebies: The Sample Bar lays more than 100 different candies at the mercy of your sweet tooth, every flavor from Island Punch to Jalapeño. You also get a free sample bag. "People really like that," said Milica Milankovic, a company spokeswoman.
When: Mondays through Thursdays starting at 8:30 a.m. Call for reservations.
How long: About three hours
What visitors need: Wear close-toed shoes
What you'll see: "A one-of-a-kind tour," says Cindy Howley, manager of the Kohler Design Center. What you won't get: "We don't do toilet jokes," says Howley.
Instead, the emphasis is on Kohler craftsmanship. Retired Kohler workers lead the tours, providing insider insights into the making of sinks, lavatories and other products.
"Wow" moment: The iron foundry where you get-up-close-and-personal with molten metal.
Freebies: none
When: 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
How long: About an hour
What you'll see: A Harley staffer shows "how a Harley-Davidson is born," said company spokeswoman Amanda Lee. You'll watch how experts create a Sportster and a Buell powertrain, with all the robotics and fabrication techniques that are used.
"Wow" moment: "The coolest part is seeing the motors come down the assembly lines on the hooks," says Lee.
Freebie takeaway: A souvenir button worthy of any biker leathers that reads: "Walk the line." The company also distributes H-D postcards that it mails out for visitors. Plus you get to sit on a Harley.
When: Wednesdays and Fridays by appointment only.
How long: 45 minutes to an hour
Visitors need to: Make reservations at least five days in advance.
What you'll see: How these highly engineered bike frames are created. "There are no robotics involved. It's all hand-sanding and bonding," says tour guide Jason Mountford. Visitors watch the aluminum tubing cut and mitered, the frame aligning and the decaling and graphics. Also, take a peek at the design studio.
"Wow" moment: The Wall of Bikes that includes a collection of Lance Armstrong bikes that he used in various Tour de France victories.
Freebies: Postcards with pictures of Trek bikes and facilities.
Tours are also given at Trek's Whitewater plant Mondays through Fridays – call (262) 473-8735.
When: By appointment and during occasional open houses, including one from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday.
What you'll see: A modern recycling plant, including trucks, scales, the elevated sorting lines, and bailers.
"Wow" moment: "People are impressed with the Tip Floor, where trucks dump out the solid waste and visitors finally realize their bin is part of the mountain that would go into a landfill if we didn't recycle," said solid waste supervisor Karen Fiedler.
Freebies: Pencils with the facility's Web site on it (www.waukeshacounty.gov), and clips of what the recycled materials are made into.
When: During the week by appointment.
How long: 30 minutes.
What you'll see: The ancient art of cheesemaking, a tradition that calls out to true cheeseheads no matter where they may roam.
"Wow" moment: "Pouring the curds into molds," said president Joe Widmer.
Freebies: You'll get cheese samples, but there's no chance they'll last longer than the trip from your fingers to your mouth.

The success of films such as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, The King's Speech and The Inbetweeners meant the UK film industry contributed more than £4.6bn to the economy last year, according to a report released today.
The study, carried out by Oxford Economics, shows that while UK film directly contributed £1.6bn to the economy last year, this figure rises to £4.6bn when taking into account other factors such as the boost it gives to tourism and trade.
The direct contribution of £1.6bn is up from around £1.5bn last year, although lower than 2009, when the study says the industry contributed more than £1.7bn.
However, the independent report – commissioned by the British Film Institute and film studios Pinewood Shepperton – said that in 2011 the film industry supported 44,000 direct jobs, an increase of 8,000 on 2009, and 117,000 jobs indirectly (up 17,000).
The study also suggested films showing off the UK give a yearly boost to international tourist spending to the UK of up to £2.1bn, translating into a contribution of roughly £1bn to the economy.
Ed Vaizey, the minister for culture, communications and creative industries, said the report "reminds us of the crucial role the industry plays in job creation, tourism, inward investment and the promotion of all that is great about Britain".
Although Pinewood Shepperton chief executive Ivan Dunleavy said the study showed the industry was "performing well relative to today's economic climate", he added: "We can do more."
He said: "We now need to look at how to enable further investment in infrastructure and how to build on the UK's growing international reputation to boost exports."
Pinewood Shepperton had a £200m expansion plan rejected in January, and is in the process of preparing a new application.Reuse content

Reader share their views on water, animals, pro-life efforts and voter fraud.
What water shortage?
I knew it. The water shortage is a big lie. So all you folks with brown vegetation can water up to 90,000 gallons a day, and at the same time reduce the fire danger.
Allan R. Davis
Water's future
I am disappointed (but not surprised) by the County Commission's decision to let the Moody family sell bottled water.
Just because we have some study telling us we have enough water for 20 years doesn't give me a lot of confidence that everything is going to work out. Even if it does, I'm looking at my 8-year-old daughter, who will be around longer than 20 years, Lord willing. What will these children do when the water is polluted or gone?
We live in a country where most of our water is OK to drink, and if it isn't, we have easy access to filtration systems. We shouldn't be buying so much bottled water to begin with.
I've lived in places where there is no clean water, except bottled water. You can't even brush your teeth with it because you will be brushing your teeth with bacteria and germs. Those are the places where people die, especially children, because there is no clean water. I don't want to live like that here.
We have been blessed to live in a place like this and no amount of money can buy it back when it's gone. Are we going to look at it as if these 20 years are the last ones to come, or are we going to plan for the future of our children also?
Kim Lohmann
Lions and tigers and bears
It is indeed somewhat ironic that many of the endangered species that we truly get upset about are usually those that fit into the "macho" category.
We have produced generations of Americans primed with propaganda from sports and outdoor magazines that have succeeded in brainwashing for profit the need to hunt, stab, poke, shoot, spear (and market all the implements to do it with) all those species of animals featured in adventure stories in these media, such as, rhino, elephant, buffalo, lions, tigers, grizzlies, deer, elk, antelope, and closer to home the Florida panther and, unfortunately, the Florida black bear.
The latter is really handy to the readers of these magazines who cannot spring for the now mythical African safari. Killing is always promoted, and they never delve into the equal opportunities to observe and study the animals as natural assets and fellow inhabitants of the planet.
There is indeed a conflict between the Florida Wildlife Association and the Florida Fish & Game, both of which operate on public funding but a totally different responsive mandate to managing the natural environment.
Harold T. Sansing
Pro life? Hardly.
Have others noticed as I have that many Florida legislators, despite claims to be pro-life, are just paying lip service to the pro-life philosophy, while in actuality passing measures that serve to put lives in jeopardy?
The legislators spent time passing legislation that would not allow public funds to be used for abortions, when there is already a federal law that addresses the same thing.
They spend time "fighting abortion" so they can take credit from people interested in eliminating abortion, even though the result has little or no effect.
The same people cut funds for the WIC program, which provides nutrition for pregnant women, infants and small children. They fight against abortion, but do not provide poor women with the means to obtain adequate nutrition during their pregnancy, or for their babies once they are born. Does that sound pro-life? By denying adequate nutrition, they set up people dependent on their help to need additional health care, which they do not fund adequately, either.
The state of Florida has eliminated the agency that was tasked with overseeing nursing homes. Some people in nursing homes are just as incapable of speaking for themselves as unborn babies, and often do not have an advocate.
If people are truly pro-life, they would protect the lives of the elderly as vigorously as the unborn, instead of leave them defenseless.
Is anyone noticing that the people currently controlling the state of Florida and claiming to be pro-life are really wolves in sheep's clothing?
Sharon Peariso
Stop voter fraud
The new election law, attempting to eliminate voter fraud, has nothing to do with minorities. And despite protests, tighter third-party voter registration laws won't stop honest organizations from registering voters.
Eight voting days provides more than enough time to get to the polls, or else vote by absentee ballot.
Responsible people, of all ethnicities and races, never needed to be coddled or enticed to vote; they managed to vote even when we only had one day to accomplish it.
Florida voter fraud may not have been prosecuted, but it does exist despite claims to the contrary. Poll workers certainly have witnessed votes from deceased persons who have remained on the books. People registered in Florida are also registered in other states, possibly enabling two votes.
Registrations throughout America (2008), from now defunct ACORN, included hundreds of new registrations, all under the same name. Minnesota had more votes than there were numbers of voters.
Why, on voting days, should voter information changes be accompanied with provisional ballots? Because on voting day, there isn't time to check for possible fraudulent information changes.
Thank you to Gov. Rick Scott, Rep. Dennis Baxley, and the majority of our Florida Legislature for trying to secure fair and honest elections!
Sandi Trusso
