Do I need two layers of grout sealer?
In my bathroom remodeling project I finished tiling and grouting and started sealing grout on walls.
I was planning to put two layers of grout sealer on tub and shower surrounding walls and only one layer of all other walls.
However, when I tried to put a second sealer layer, grout did not absorb sealer. It all went down on tiles and floor.
I am using the "Aqua Mix Sealer's Choice Gold" sealer, which is considered as one of the best.
Do I really need to put a second layer of sealer on grout on tub and shower surrounding walls? And what is the best technique to do that if I have to.?
Thanks a lot.
I would really like to know: was the sealer so good, that it blocked the next application from absorbing. Since it is water based - that does make sense. What did you find out?
How long did you wait before coats?
Look on the can of sealer to see how long it should have been and if two coats are suggested.
One heavy application is it--or wet on wet with no waiting--once it's dried the grout will no longer absorb any--it's doing it's job.
I waited 24 hours before applying the second layer.
If it soaked in then you did well--most times it won't.
No harm done---it's just there to make the grout easier to clean---

2016 Smarter Balanced Testing FAQs
Understanding Test Scores
California Alternate Assessments (CAAs)
Folsom Cordova families of students who were in grades 3-8 or 11 last year will soon receive the individual score reports for their students under the state's new testing system. These scores are one tool designed to help teachers better understand how our students are performing under new state standards, measure student growth, and implement effective learning strategies tailored to individual children.
Families, students, and community members may have many questions about how to read these score reports and what the results mean. This page is intended to provide answers to common questions, additional resources to help you support your child's learning, and an opportunity for you to submit questions.
Watch the short video (below) for an overview of the new score reports:
en español
Submit a question:
Don't see your questions addressed here?
Complete this brief form
, and we'll respond to you as soon as possible. If
your question may be of benefit to the general public, we may also post the question (anonymously) and response to this page.
When will results from spring testing be released?
We currently estimate score reports to reach households by late August and early September. School administrators and teachers will have access to both individual and schoolwide results ahead of time, and will be prepared to discuss reports with you after they arrive at your home.
How will the test results be used?
These test results are just one tool teachers and families can use to better understand how well your student is performing in school. The scores are simply one gauge on the dashboard that you and your child's teacher can use to discuss how far your student has progressed in mastering state standards.
Other school tests, for example, quizzes, reports cards, classroom assignments, and more provide equally important information. The tests are an academic checkup, designed to give teachers the feedback they need to improve instruction and the tools to improve teaching and learning. Because the tests are taken online, information will be available to teachers, schools and school districts on a timely basis so it can be used to help students learn.
Additionally, these results will not be used to determine if a student moves on to the next grade.
How do I read my student's score report?
Here's what you can expect the first page of your child's report to look like, and keep reading for a brief explanation:
You'll now be able to compare this year's scores with last year's results. Although you can see growth from year to year, however, scores can't be directly compared to prior years, which measured different grade standards. Like progress on a growth chart, the tests, scores and expectations change with your child's age and grade.
Scores between 2,000 and 3,000 represent your child's overall performance in English language arts and in mathematics.
To the side is a breakdown of four areas of English language arts, describing your child's performance on reading, writing, listening and research/inquiry portions of the assessment.
Likewise, a breakdown is provided of the three areas of mathematics, detailing your child's performance on concepts and procedures, problem solving/modeling/data analysis, and communicating reasoning.
How can parents and guardians help support learning at home?
A great way to start is by asking questions!
Talk to your teacher and school about how you can work together to support your child's learning.
Here are some tips from the
California State PTA
Ask Your Child:
What areas do you think you should particularly focus on this year, based on your test results? What do you see as your strengths to build on?
Ask Your Teacher:
How will these tests results be used to guide instruction? What can we do at home that will help our child learn and be successful? How are other important subjects assessed?
Ask Your Principal:
Are the individual test results being used at the school for placement in classes or any other specific decisions? What did you learn at the school level from the overall results of the assessments?
Ask Your District:
Are the district assessment results helping to guide any professional development? What are the next steps the district is taking in continuing the full, successful implementation of the new standards?
Take a practice test!
Visit this website
to get behind the driver's seat and experience what it's like for your child to take the assessment.
The California Department of Education has created a comprehensive online resource
for families to learn more about state testing, understand score reports, and follow your student's progress. Check it out here!
How are Folsom Cordova schools performing compared to last year?
Students in Folsom Cordova schools continued to make progress and, districtwide, perform above state averages in English-language arts and math, according to new state test results released on Aug. 24. That included modest gains among the District's most vulnerable student populations, including English learners and socioeconomically disadvantaged students, though achievement gaps continue to persist.
More than 10,500 students in grades 3-8 and 11 took the state's Smarter Balanced assessments last spring, part of California's comprehensive testing program. The scores are one tool designed to help teachers better understand how our students are performing under new state standards, measure student growth, and implement effective learning strategies tailored to individual children.
In English-language arts, 59 percent of students districtwide met or exceeded state standards, up four percentage points from last year, the first year of the state's new testing program. Similar growth was seen in math performance, where 50 percent of Folsom Cordova students met or exceeded state standards, up four percentage points from 2015.
Statewide, 49 percent of students met or exceeded English language arts standards, while 37 percent of students met or exceeded standards in math.
Under the new state standards, Folsom Cordova has begun to see an incremental narrowing of achievement gaps, though much work remains.
Low-income students - comprising about one-third of all of this year's test takers - improved in both English language arts (ELA) and math: 33 percent met or exceeded state ELA standards, up 5 percentage points from last year, while 23 percent scored at or above state math standards, a 4 percent increase.
About 9 percent of all of this year's test takers were English learners, and those students also saw growth in performance: 10 percent of English learners met or exceeded ELA standards, up 3 percent from last year, while 13 percent of English learners met or exceeded math standards, an increase of 5 percent over the previous year.
Dig deeper into the results:
District and individual school performance can be found on the state's website:
How will results be used by colleges and universities?
For 11th-grade students, results are used for the Early Assessment Program (EAP), which is used by the California State University (CSU) system and some community colleges to determine whether a student is ready for college-level English and math courses. Student scores are also used to exempt students from some placement tests. More info:
Here is a flyer explaining
how different colleges are using the assessments.
At this time, no public higher education system in California uses the EAP results for admission.
How do these assessments tie in with state standards and the state's school funding formula?
The assessments are part of a larger plan for ensuring high-quality teaching and learning in every school. The plan also includes higher academic standards, more decision-making in the hands of schools and communities, and more resources dedicated to schools and to students with the greatest needs.
What happened to the API? How do I know how well my school is doing compared to other schools?
The Academic Performance Index (API) for schools and districts has been suspended until the state adopts a new measurement and accountability system. The state is still working on a system that would be based on multiple measures, including academic progress, college and career readiness, school climate, and more. This new replacement system has not yet been finalized by the state.
Will test results be used for placement in Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) programs?
GATE placement is not based on these assessments. Folsom Cordova screens all third-grade students, and students new to the District in grades 4-6, at the elementary school level, with a test specifically for GATE in October and November.

Police fear a man who throws animal semen at girls has struck again after two teenagers found a white substance on their clothes.
Two schoolgirls had a sticky liquid smeared or sprayed on their clothing in the last month in the Unsworth area of Bury, Greater Manchester.
The victims described their attacker as a white man aged between 20 to 40 and between 5ft 9in and 5ft 10in tall.
Officers believe the attacks may be linked to four similar incidents in the Bury area between November 2009 and January 2010.
On each occasion, a teenage girl was approached by a man and later discovered a sticky white substance on her skirt or tights.
Those attacks took place in Unsworth, Whitefield, Bury and Prestwich and the offender described as white, aged between 25 and 35 and carrying a bag.
Three years ago, Greater Manchester Police issued this video clip of a man they wanted to speak to regarding the investigation.
Detective Chief Inspector Sara Wallwork said today: "Specially trained officers have been speaking to and supporting the two victims as part of the investigation and inquiries are ongoing.
"Due to the similar nature of these incidents, we are considering the possibility that they are linked although we are keeping an open mind.
"We are well aware that these incidents are very similar to a serious of incidents in Bury three years ago.
"Understandably there will be concerns due to the similarity.
"We are taking these incidents very seriously and together with the local authority we are engaging with local schools.
"We are reviewing the original investigation and keeping an open mind as to the possibility that the same man may be responsible.
"I ask anyone with information that may help this investigation to please call us."
Anyone with information is asked to call Bury CID on 0161 856 8152 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

David Lindstrom, director of emergency preparedness in the College of Medicine at Penn State is co-investigator of the Remote Expert Direction and Simulation Training in Airway Management with Paramedics (RED STAMP) project. Lindstrom and Dr. Thomas Terndrup (Principal Investigator) have been directing the RED STAMP research team in analyzing paramedic training procedures to help healthcare organizations improve their emergency response techniques. A staff member of 37 years at Penn State, Lindstrom first began working at the University after setting national standards for paramedics as a member of a committee of the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council. He later served as Penn State's chief privacy officer, before moving into his current role in 2009.
We recently sat down with David to talk about RED STAMP's achievements and how IT is helping to make emergency training possible.
What do you see as the future role of IT in both EMS and emergency medicine?
When we look at the use of information technology assets in healthcare, the growth and interdependency amazes me when I slow down and reflect on the changes in both systems since I took my first ambulance call in March 1968.
We will continue to discover new ways to use IT to share, track, control, secure, and analyze information that we used to do on paper or in person. Nationally, we have started to use geographic information system (GIS) technology in the management of EMS operations. Obviously, our critical care transport helicopters use GIS-based instrumentation in the cockpit and many large ambulance services use GIS tracking and management tools to monitor the location and activities of their vehicle fleet.
Mobile device use has been piloted in EMS and emergency medicine since the first PDAs hit the market. The availability and decreasing price of tablet devices makes them a very attractive documentation and communication tool through Wi-Fi and the cellular network. Satellite technology is recognized as a critical platform in many emergency management environments, but its wide-scale use has been slow to develop in everyday operations. One only needs to work in an emergency medicine capacity at Beaver Stadium to understand why satellite communications, data collection, unit tracking, and other functionality must become part of our EMS and emergency medicine toolkit.
The public safety sector is rapidly embracing the use of all kinds of applications for use in emergency preparedness and response. A recent website called AppComm acts as an online forum where public safety professionals, the general public, and app developers can rate and comment on apps, submit ideas for new apps to serve public safety needs, and suggest additional apps for inclusion on the site. This site has an initial listing of 60 apps selected by the Association of Public-Safety Communication Officials (APCO) and they are just scratching the surface.
The challenge for those of us in healthcare is to develop core IT knowledge in all providers and administrators of healthcare systems. The younger employees have been exposed to IT resources and solutions for decades, but not all healthcare employees have the knowledge or comfort with IT issues that they should. It's almost like all healthcare employees need an "IT 101" course so they can better understand how to identify and use the resources available now and in the future.
Could you describe your current research efforts and any other projects in which you are involved?
I am currently a co-investigator on a project funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) an agency of Health and Human Services. AHRQ's mission is to improve the quality, safety, efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare, and our project is designed to improve patient safety through the use of simulation. In an effort to make our project understandable to all people, we have titled it Remote Expert Direction and Simulation Training in Airway Management with Paramedics (RED STAMP). RED STAMP is a joint project between Penn State and Ohio State and I am the Penn State Consortium Principal Investigator.
The project has two major phases. In Phase I (which has just ended), we recruited 200 currently certified paramedics from all over Pennsylvania to participate as research subjects. Each paramedic volunteered to participate in an advanced airway management simulation that realistically mimicked situations they might encounter when responding to a 9-1-1 request for emergency medical service (EMS). In order to create a realistic simulation, we used the latest technology available in an advanced airway trainer (a type of manikin with an anatomically correct respiratory system). This trainer is more sophisticated than the typical manikin used in CPR training.
In order to create an authentic performance environment, we had to pick a location that accurately represented the kind of scenario a paramedic might encounter when treating a patient in need of the full spectrum of advanced airway management skills. Many patients are found on the floor or the ground, where they need to be given oxygen and have a breathing tube placed in their trachea so paramedics can "breathe for the patient" (a technique called positive pressure ventilation). This technique is similar to mouth-to-mouth, but uses a direct connection to the patient's trachea. The other location where EMS advanced airway skills are frequently applied is in the back of an ambulance — and we chose that environment as the location for our research project.
You may be wondering how it's possible to simulate an ambulance environment? Hershey has a 53' tractor trailer mobile training and evaluation unit (called Lion Reach) that we could have used as a platform for this research project; however, we chose to modify an ambulance that was recently removed from active service. By using an ambulance, we were able to create a life-like clinical environment and supplement the regular ambulance equipment and supplies with video capture and recording equipment. This Mobile Sim Lab (MSL) is really just a specially equipped Life Lion EMS ambulance that is now dedicated to simulation exercises and other training research.
What are your plans for Phase II of RED STAMP?
In Phase II, the RED STAMP research team will use the "validated instrument" from Phase I to assess two new groups of paramedics, with 250 in each group. In Phase II, subjects will be randomly divided into a control and study group, respectively. Both groups will have access to an online copy of their personal performance (as recorded in the mobile simulation lab) as well as a number of annotated, anonymous video images of patient airways recorded in the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center operating rooms.
In order to provide remote expert direction, we will review the performance of each paramedic as recorded in a new simulation, and identify areas of performance where patient safety may be at risk or where airway management proficiency needs improvement. In these cases, targeted educational interventions will be selected from a set of prepared recorded short lectures, demonstrations, and skill review sessions. These interventions will be prepared by the research team and airway experts from the Hershey Medical Center Department of Anesthesiology and Department of Emergency Medicine. Paramedics in the study group will have web-based access to these recorded sessions through "Mediasite," an enterprise video platform currently in use at the Medical Center. This platform enables us to capture, manage, and deliver interactive on-demand video content to those Phase II research subjects.
Through Mediasite, we will be able to track user access, control videos seen by each research subject, and develop accurate reports regarding the frequency with which subjects view specific videos.
How has your Penn State history helped you as a co-investigator in this project?
My clinical experience as an EMS provider, curriculum designer, instructor, and researcher has been key in my ability to help our research team, which has been led by Principal Investigator, Thomas Terndrup (who also serves as the department chair, associate dean for research, and distinguished professor of emergency medicine at Hershey). Just as important as my EMS experience are my connections in the IT world of Penn State Hershey and University Park. Since my job duties involve work throughout Pennsylvania, I have maintained a research office here at University Park and have a workstation at Penn State Hershey, as well.
As a result of my spending time at both campuses in my weekly life, I can draw from both worlds. The IT leadership and staff members of the Vice President for Research have been exceptionally helpful in finding solutions to various challenges faced as we develop a web presence for use by research subjects. Penn State Hershey's academic computing leadership and staff members have excellent experience with the Mediasite platform and have been instrumental in designing our video capture, import, management, and delivery of research content. Without our access to existing IT systems and the expertise of the IT staff, we would have been stuck.
I see the initials CIPP/G as part of your credentials. What is the significance of that credential and what is it?
Shortly after our Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance work at University Health Services (UHS), I was asked to assume a new position at Penn State. Former Vice Provost for Information Technology Gary Augustson had been chairing a small work group charged with evaluating the impact of HIPAA on the Penn State enterprise. That group was the first group at the University beyond UHS to realize that the impact of HIPAA was going to require an institution-wide approach that was beyond the capability of a volunteer committee.
I was asked to assume a temporary appointment as special assistant to the Provost for HIPAA Compliance. As part of my early work with HIPAA, I realized that Penn State had many other privacy and security obligations under Pennsylvania and Federal Law. The International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) was a new association focused on issues of privacy and I began attending conferences and meetings sponsored by the IAPP.
In 2003, I had become Penn State's full-time chief privacy officer and realized I needed to participate in a certification process. I became a "Certified International Privacy Professional" by taking a certification exam through IAPP. Later, I successfully passed a second exam about government privacy issues. That's the significance of the "G" at the end of the title.
Even though I am no longer a full-time privacy professional, I continue to use much of the knowledge I gained in my former role. All researchers have significant privacy and security requirements, so my background serves me well.
How did you happen to make the switch from chief privacy officer to your current position?
In 2008, the former deputy for operations of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency asked me to direct a $2.3 million emergency preparedness project. From 2008 – 2012, I was the principal investigator of the Pennsylvania Radiological Emergency Preparedness and Response Effort (PREPARE). Eventually, I wanted to get back to a full-time faculty role in my original professional area and Project PREPARE provided me with an opportunity to bring a funded research project to Penn State. A logical home for the project was in the Department of Emergency Medicine since the department head, Dr. Tom Terndrup, had a strong emergency preparedness background and interest. I accepted a faculty position and assumed a research role in the College of Medicine.
Can you describe a typical day in your work life and the role information technology plays in your role as a member of the Department of Emergency Medicine?
I start my day quite early checking email and getting ready for work in the University Park office, a trip to a research subject recruiting site, or a drive to Hershey. I work with many people who are around-the-clock in their clinical work life in the emergency department or as part of our Life Lion EMS and Critical Care Transport Service. As a result, my colleagues are sending email around the clock and the quality of Penn State's email systems are critically important to me since I work remotely from many members of the research team.
Video conferencing, phone bridges, Skype, webinars, and other technologies have become essential communication tools for our work needs. The ready access to Wi-Fi in University facilities and throughout Penn State Hershey has become a key asset to people who are members of an increasingly mobile work force.
The role of mobile devices, like smartphones and tablets, are becoming so prevalent in the EMS community that we need to be ready to meet our research subjects' needs for 24/7 interaction on a mobile platform. Any interaction with our current pool of research subjects needs to be supported on mobile devices.
One project, currently in the planning stage, will use mobile devices to collect out-of-hospital patient data as part of a post-discharge, follow-up home visit process. If we are able to implement this service as planned, we hope to be able to use mobile devices to access forms and templates to be used in the collection of clinical data while visiting patients at their residence. Through the use of encrypted communication, we'd like to be able to use that data to populate a portion of the electronic medical records that will be instantly accessible to the physicians and care coordination staff members on the patient's treatment team.
I'm currently consulting with a physician group in the state of Indiana that is considering the use of telemetry and other telemedicine tools to collect diagnostic information in patient's homes through the use of specially trained community health assistants (CHAs). The CHA may be a certified paramedic or other healthcare worker and while in the home, they are planning to broadcast real time, voice, data, and images for review by a physician member of the care delivery team located many miles away. Through the analysis of the patient's diagnostic information, the team can determine the best way and the best location to provide the care the patient needs. The goal is to reduce unnecessary visits to the emergency department and avoidable healthcare expenses while providing high quality in-home care.
Obviously, our physicians work with some of the most sophisticated medical technology in the business. It is part of today's standard healthcare environment. I remember the early 1980's when the city of Toronto had just one CT scanner and patients were loaded on a bus circulating among various facilities to pick up patients needing a CT scan. Today, we have a CT scan across the hall from our trauma bays, right in the emergency medicine department, along with the many others throughout the Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Technology has come a long way and our dependence on those technologies grows by the minute.

New Russian punk band documentary uncovers story behind 'punk prayer' protest
By Lindsay Claiborn
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - When three women of Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot entered a Moscow church to perform a "punk prayer" in February of last year, little did they think their actions would land them behind bars and capture the world's attention.
A new documentary, "Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer," which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this week, follows the band members and their families as they struggle through the legal system in Russia.
The documentary tells the story of three women - Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30 - who as members of the feminist art collective Pussy Riot performed a 40-second "punk prayer" inside Russia's main cathedral on February 21, 2012.
Pussy Riot took on two powerful state institutions at once - the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian government - when they burst into Moscow's golden-domed Christ the Savior Cathedral wearing bright ski masks, tights and colorful dresses to protest against President Vladimir Putin's close ties with the Church.
This performance led to their arrest on charges of religious hatred and culminated in a trial that reverberated around the world.
After a trial that was shown live on television, a judge ruled the three women had "committed an act of hooliganism, a gross violation of public order showing obvious disrespect for society."
The court found all three women guilty and sentenced them to two years in prison. Samutsevich later had her punishment converted to a suspended sentence.
"It was such a big soap opera in Russia," documentary co-director Maxim Pozdorovkin told Reuters. Continued...

my reason as author, is that I'm waiting too much in the queue line.
Currently on videohive there is just a certain number of items to be fit on homepage, when this number is reached the reviewers will stop and wait for a certain time to allow item exposure. This means you need to wait for those items to have a minimum time exposure. More items, more authors, more waiting time.
As authors we are not happy with waiting times and homepage exposure, but note that less queue waiting time means less homepage exposure. We are in a nice catch 22. we can't be happy either ways. So we need a new homepage.
I will also like to ask if the staff can confirm if someone works on a new homepage concept in this moment, and if yes how much time we need to wait till we will see the changes
Maybe most of authors will not be on the same idea as me but I'm willing to let go the presence of new items on frontpage if the queue waiting time will go under 24 hours.
Review my item in under 24 hours and delete the "new items clutter thumbnail list" from the frontpage. I will not protest. If is under 24 hours of review time.
Did someone works on a new homepage?

TheGEW 50 represents the best of 800 startups from 20 countries. Finalists compete for a chance to present at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Medellin, Colombia in 2016.
WASHINGTON DC -- Nov. 19, 2015 -- The Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) today unveiled its annual list of the GEW 50 – finalists in its Startup Open competition to find some of the most promising new startups in the world. A select number of the finalists are highlighted in a CNBC slideshow -- 20 of the World's Hottest Startups.
Nearly 70 percent of the finalists originate from outside of the United States, representing 20 countries and a broad spectrum of industries. GEW 50 entrepreneurs lead ventures in biotechnology, agribusiness, energy, finance, health and wellness and more.
"With this group of promising new startups, you see individuals and cofounder teams who are ready to make the leap to the global stage, " said Jonathan Ortmans, president of the Global Entrepreneurship Network. "These and other new and young firms like them are driving innovation, solving real-world challenges and driving economic growth in all corners of the world – not just in Silicon Valley."
Last year's winner, a team of environmental engineers from Haifa, Israel, exemplify the creativity and promise of Startup Open finalists. The team created BreezoMeter, an application that measures real-time air quality and provides health recommendations to its users. The app currently maps air quality levels through Israel and the United States. Since winning the Startup Open, BreezoMeter has been invited to the White House by U.S. President Barack Obama for an event to recognize emerging entrepreneurs, presented its work to United Nations delegates in Geneva, pitched on-stage at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Nairobi and impressed delegates at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress.
More than 800 startups from 39 countries entered the competition and were judged on their concept and growth projections for their businesses as well as their knowledge of their industries. Each of the competing startups was required to have a "startup moment" between GEW 2014 and GEW 2015. A "startup moment" is anything that can be interpreted as the company is "open for business," such as becoming incorporated, completing a first sale or securing outside funding.
The Startup Open winner will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Medellin, Colombia, where they will attend the Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC) in March 2016. The GEC brings together entrepreneurs, investors, global leaders and startup champions from more than 150 countries to explore the best ways to build and strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems. As part of the experience, the Startup Open winner will have the opportunity to showcase his or her startup on a global scale and meet with potential collaborators, mentors and others to help the startup grow.
The countries represented by the 2015 GEW 50 are: Azerbaijan, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, China, India, Ireland, Israel, Jordan, Kenya, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Portugal, Sweden, Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdom and the United States.

Olga Spisovskiy, her son-in-law, Peter Klyachenko, and her daughter-in-law, Lily Spisovskiy, each represent a different Christian family who moved to the United States from Russia in the 1990s. In Soviet Russia, their families suffered religious persecution, jail time, horrifying accusations, and harsh rejections, even from their own families. Although their stories are sobering, their past experiences give them a unique and important perspective on religious freedom, both under communistic Russia and in the United States. Here's what they had to share about their experiences with religious persecution and their understanding of what true freedom looks like.
Your family lived for years as Christians under communism in the Soviet Union. What was that like?
Olga: The government installed small microphones into our walls. People would come to our house and say, "We need to check your electricity." We knew they weren't there to check anything. But we had to speak very carefully in the house, because we knew they were listening to everything we said, and my father was afraid of us being thrown in prison.
My sister became a Christian at 18. At the time she was the head of her high school's Communist Youth Party, which was prestigious. She told the CYP director, "I cannot do this any longer because I accepted Christ into my life."
The school informed the KGB of her conversion, and as a result, the KGB spent years trying to take me and my siblings away from my parents, under the false accusation that my parents forced my sister to convert to Christianity. Every few months, my sister and my mother would drive to the state office so my sister could testify that her conversion was her own decision. Finally, when her story didn't change after years of questioning, the KGB had to give up. They had no case against my parents.
Also, a few times a month, the KGB would stop my father on his way to work and take him to their office. There, they would question him about the goings on of the church—details of meetings, who was attending. Those types of things. They'd hold him for two days without food or water. We used to say they wanted him to be like Judas; they wanted him to betray the church.
It wasn't a big deal for the KGB to operate this way. But for my father to agree to be that person would have killed him right then. He never told them anything.
My mama eventually went to the KGB officer in our area and said, "If you're not going to stop this, I'll tell everybody. I've had it. The whole world will know what you're doing to us."

CANADA STOCKS-TSX up with financials ahead of Fed minutes; miners weigh
(Adds details, updates prices)
TORONTO May 18 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index turned higher on Wednesday, boosted by banks and life insurance companies as investors awaited the release of minutes from a U.S. Federal Reserve meeting amid rising talk of an interest rate increase.
Meanwhile, gold and other metal miners weighed on the market after a stronger U.S. dollar pushed commodity prices broadly lower. Energy stocks were mixed as an Alberta wildfire threatened oil sands facilities.
At 10:20 a.m. EDT (1420 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 14.68 points, or 0.11 percent, at 13,931.78 after opening lower.
Six of the index's 10 main groups were in positive territory, with financials up 0.4 percent and industrials rising 0.7 percent.
The Fed minutes, scheduled for release at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT), could give clues on the path of rate hikes. Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said on Tuesday that he would advocate for an increase in June or July. Two other central bank officials said they expected up to three hikes this year.
Manulife Financial Corp rose 2 percent to C$18.57, and Sun Life Financial Inc gained 1 percent to C$44.07. The country's main banks were also higher, with smaller gains.
Pipeline companies were among the most influential decliners, with Pembina Pipeline Corp down 0.8 percent at C$36.76 and TransCanada Corp off 0.3 percent at C$52.54.
The fire, which began in early May, forced the evacuation of thousands of workers on Tuesday, prolonging a shutdown that has cut Canadian oil output by a million barrels a day, or about one-quarter of the nation's total output. Continued...

At the table
Alok Jha, (Chair), science and environment correspondent, the Guardian
Kathy Groves, food microscopist, Leatherhead Food Research
Terry Jones, director of communications, Food and Drink Federation
Ian Illuminato, Friends of the Earth
The challenge is clear: globally, we will need to feed two billion extra people by 2050. As politicians, industry and scientists turn their attention to the problem of world food security, many believe we will need to use every available tool to tackle this impending crisis. One such tool could be nanotechnology, the applications of which could potentially help us to produce more food, using less water and fertiliser, and with less of an impact on the environment.
A recent Guardian seminar, sponsored by the European Commission, met to debate how we will continue to feed the world, and the panellists – Terry Jones, Kathy Groves and Ian Illuminato, chaired by Alok Jha – considered how important nanotechnology is likely to be in this task. Their opinions were listened to by members of an invited public audience, who were also able to put questions to the panel.
"The scale of the challenge is reasonably well known," suggested Jones, director of communications at trade association the Food and Drink Federation. "The more pressing number, I think, is the eight billion people on the planet by 2025. If we're going to feed them, then we need to produce more food, from fewer resources, with a smaller impact on the environment – and that's going to require us to think differently."
Futuristic goals
Nanotechnology is the engineering of the very small, at the scale of millionths of a millimetre. It can describe both the futuristic goals of building tiny molecular machines and the more contemporary practice of adding nanoparticle substances to consumer products to make them lighter, stronger or more hygienic.
The current use of nanotechnology in the food industry is still in its early stages and generally builds upon longstanding processes and practices in food production. Jones, however, says it is clear that nanotechnology might provide solutions to a range of industry problems.
"You could see nanotechnology used in the cultivation, production, processing or packaging of food," he said. "It could be used to develop new food products or, indeed, improve existing ones."
As well as reducing water use and contamination in food processing, Jones believes nanotechnology could help make food healthier. "In the UK, we talk a lot about what we need to take out of food, but nanotech could help us to add or enable the release of positive foods as well," said Jones, who noted that 30% of food waste occurs in the home and suggested that nanotech-enhanced packaging might tackle this. He also posited that nanotech could be used to enhance our enjoyment of food by providing us with new textures, tastes and colours.
These ideas sound ambitious and all-encompassing, but, in reality, the current use of nanotechnology in food production is limited. An often-cited contemporary example is nanosalt, smaller grains of salt that provide better coverage of a plate of chips while reducing the overall amount of salt used. So far, however, it has been slow to catch on.
The slow uptake of nanotechnology in food might, in part, be down to people's reluctance to see technology tampering with what they eat.
According to Groves, a food microscopist at Leatherhead Food Research, consumers tend not to realise the extent to which science and technology is already used in the manufacture of their food, and have concerns about the safety, overprocessing and "mucking about" with of what they eat. "People do get worried about [nanosalt]," she said, "but it isn't an issue because it's exactly the same in your body as normal salt."
Groves explained that the public are more willing to accept new technologies as medical treatments than in their foods. "If using nanotechnology or other technologies in drug research will help them combat cancer, say, people say yes. They're all for that because the choice is to take the new drug or suffer severe consequences." According to Groves, people just do not see the same issues for food.
Good regulation
This reluctance to accept nanotechnological tinkering in the food industry is shared by Illuminato, of campaign group Friends of the Earth. He believes that many questions about nanotechnology remain to be answered and, until they have been, it is sensible to be cautious.
"Nanoparticles can be more chemically reactive, they can have greater access to our bodies than larger particles, and when they become more bio-available there's a question of whether that also introduces new toxicity risks," said Illuminato.
He is concerned that, because of their extremely small size, nanoparticles might interfere with DNA or be able to cross the human placenta and blood-brain barriers. "I'm not somebody who thinks technology is malicious – I think it's humans that put that on to the technology," said Illuminato. "It's how we manage these things that's going to be important."
When it comes to using nanotechnology and nanoparticles in the food industry, there was a relatively clear consensus among the panel that good regulation will be crucial. "I'm increasingly beginning to view regulation of the UK and EU food industry as positive," said Jones. "But it has to be smart regulation – it has to enable new technology."
Jones believes these regulations need to be risk-based – focusing on the likelihood of a substance to cause harm and the potential severity of this – but that he has seen many cases in which regulation of the food industry has instead taken a hazard-based approach. This looks only at the potential for a substance to be dangerous, without taking into account the likelihood or scale of such danger.
While regulation is clearly necessary, it seems that, right now, there are not that many nano-enhanced foods to regulate. The discussion struggled to come up with many other cases of contemporary nanotechnological food science beyond nanosalt. One of the few other examples is the use of nano-sized encapsulation and/or emulsification techniques for adding vitamins and flavourings to processed foods.
This does not mean the food industry is short on ideas for the future. It is still early days, but Jones suggested the sky is the limit: "You could use this technology to give you the same eating experience from [a favourite food], but with reduced fat or salt." He said nanotechnology was not about making broccoli taste like hamburgers, but about altering processed foods to be healthier without losing their texture or taste.
Audience member Hilary Sutcliffe, director of the Matter think tank on responsible innovation, was keen to emphasise the limits of nanotechnology in food. "If we're really lucky, we might get nanosalt and a couple of nano-encapsulated vitamins that go in products," she told the panel, describing her disappointment in the progress of nanotechnology in food to date.
Sutcliffe explained that these limited applications are expensive and not that useful: manufacturers would rather just reduce salt content than pay for nanosalt, and vitamins and flavourings do not need to be nano-encapsulated because they can be added to foods at the microscale, rather than at the nano-level, which is one thousand times smaller.
She also suggested that, so far, the possible uses of nanotechnology have only been in Western diets and that people should be realistic about its use for tackling the impending global food crisis. "Nothing about nanotechnology is in relation to anything except Western, expensive foods that are slightly gratuitous and not particularly necessary," she said, before adding that it is not currently helping to feed the world. "If you are going to talk about feeding the world, be brave, take on GM, let's have that discussion."
Genetic modification
It is difficult to talk about the role of technology in increasing the intensification and sustainability of agriculture without discussing genetic modification.
Jones includes GM in his hypothetical toolbox for tackling food security, alongside boosting traditional plant-breeding programmes. "I think all parts of the supply chain [need] to look at the technological solutions that may be at hand – or to embrace new ones – and there are a whole range of potential tools in that toolbox."
Jones agreed that nanotechnology is unlikely to be a useful tool for going "hell for leather" to produce more food. However, he does not believe there is no role for it in food security. "It could be one of the technologies that reduces water, food waste, packaging waste and the impact of agricultural production."
Jones described this as the "smart answer" to global food security. "If we're going to do this sustainable intensification of food security, it is technologies like nano that have the potential to help us with that sustainability side of the equation."
Key discussion points
The challenge of producing enough food for the global population of the future is likely to require a range of tools. Nanotechnology could be one of these, but its use has been limited to date. The engineering of our food – or its packaging – at the molecular level is still yet to convincingly prove itself as a useful, cost-effective venture. While some are waiting for the technology to take off, others have concerns about what will happen if it does – how toxic are nano-engineered food molecules likely to be? Trustworthy regulation of the industry is required to reassure consumers. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen whether nanotechnology will have a role beyond the Western processed-food industry.

Only IE 5.5 needs the "cursor: hand;" rule, IE6 and every other browser will understand properly the "cursor: pointer;"
By removing those rules we avoid some warnings in the error consoles about the styles.

comment:2 Changed 10 years ago by alfonsoml
The only drawback for them would be that they won't see the hand cursor on some elements.
I think that they have greater problems (like the lack of patches since it was EOL some time ago and I doubt that there are too many developers dedicating a machine just to keep that ugly browser around, so their experience in the web must be already somehow unpleasant).
According to http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp the percentage of IE5 (that means 5.0 and 5.5) is 1.5%, and it keeps going down. In a splitted comparison I think that the use of 5.0 is slightly higher than 5.5 because that's the default browser in W2000, so that leaves no more than 0.8% of users with that browser. Losing a hand cursor isn't a big problem from my point of view.
In fact, forcing them somehow to upgrade would be beneficial for everybody.
