|This article is a completely original as for the first time it develops a measurement of active citizenship across European countries. Both the theoretical and statistical analysis of this article are of a very high quality with a highly complex composite indicator being developed along with sensitivity analysis of weighting techniques. The impact of this article is that the measurement was used by the European Commission within their progress report on the Lisbon Strategy in Education and Training. It changed thinking in European policy circles towards understanding that soft concepts can be measured and drew attention to the importance of active citizenship.

Serious Eats' Site Slowdown
Has SeriousEats.com recently undergone some kind of server change or something that would cause it to require more memory (RAM) usage? I have recently been having some drastic slow down of my internet whenever I have tried to load any page on SeriousEats.com. I have been a regular to SeriousEats.com for over two years now, and have previously never encountered this kind of issue. I am using the newest Firefox update, so maybe that has something to do with it. Is anyone else experiencing slow downs on SeriousEats.com? Does anyone know how to fix this type of problem?

Hey guys,
Well right now I'm in my senior year of college, as a 26-year old undergrad. For 3 and 1/2 years I couldn't afford tuition and a new computer, but this year the stars aligned and I'm finishing my degree. So during those 3 and 1/2 years all I was doing was animation, and making money doing it. I really got a feel for the industry, the urgency of a job, and the satisfaction of getting the job done in a professional and timely manner.
So upon returning to school, I'm talking with all these 22/23 year old kids who claim to be "Maya experts" because Professor (insert name here) told them so. But as soon as they start demonstrating their expertise, it amounts to them creating a poly sphere, using the stock sphere UV function and applying a crudely drawing Maya Paint basketball texture, replete with seams, and calling it a job well done. And for some reason the teacher loves it, high-fives all around, and I'm left scratching my head.
Back in 2006 I was attending the same university under a different professor who was guilty of rewarding sometimes crappy work. There was this one student in our class who couldn't model. Whenever he tried, there would be plenty of double faces, double CVs, weird normals, unmerged edges, and n-gons out the whazoo, but he would turn it in anyway. But there was this sense of "Let's not get mad. Let's just pat him on the back, say it was a job well done, tell him we have to clean his model up, and then just start from scratch" from the professor! We were essentially doing this guy's work for him, and he had no idea.
Fast forward to today. This week I ran into this kid in the computer lab up at the University. He graduated with his BA in Film/Animation in 2007. He immediately gathered up his stuff, threw together a demo reel and flew out to San Francisco, convinced that Pixar was waiting, and the poor guy got so many welcome mat rejections. The studios took one look at his stuff and came short of laughing him out of the interview. But here's the weird thing... he's somehow convinced that the sudden "No" responses were less attributed to his portfolio and more to the crappy economy. So he came back to his hometown and started hunting for low level graphic design jobs with a "Screw Pixar" mentality, and got the same response. The guy spent a lot of his savings on the job hunt, still unemployed, and ultimately decided hit up the old teacher for a job or referral. Finally, after years of receiving praise and high-fives from the professor, the professor came clean. He told him that he wasn't any good, and he should consider another field... something he should have told the kid before he graduated.
So now I ask, why do some of these animation teachers reward mediocrity? Is it because there aren't enough butts in the seats? Do they get paid more to be nice, than they do to be professional?
Obviously this isn't reflective of every school with an animation program, but I imagine there are lots of bo-diddly techs out there lauding praise on students who, in a word, suck.

Great stuff man.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
i love it!
this is great! the guitar work is sweet-sounding, then attacks the ears brutally :) i love the lyrics "yesterday contaminates tomorrow" and your voice is like sultry and also big and loud. great stuff, man. a gem for your archives :p
Thanks man, I'm really glad you like it! I tried new things on this one, added strings and organs but in the end it still became this big noisy mess and I kinda like the way it turned out "wrong" :D
Always a pleasure to hear your opinion man, let's keep trying our best to make music good again!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Never have I ever.
You never cease to amaze me sir. I love your vocals. Both in lyrical form and melody. They always take my breath away. You are the perfect mix of rasp and tune. I have bought your albums and can't wait for more! Also I agree with Counter, it does have a very STP Core mixed with Soundgarden Louder than Love sound for this song. I effing love it. 10'd and 5'd!
Thank you! I love STP and I consider Soundgarden the best band ever so I'm happy to get that :D I'll keep 'em coming!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Its gotta westcoast feel to it
At some points the instrumental part was really fucking awesome. Just too quiet when played w/ the vocals. You should get a Full On isolated instrumental part in their! Yea, jus to break up some of the monotony, but its still a kick ass song dude.
Thanks for the review CC!
Yeah I used sidechain compression on the vox and it does that :D There are so many tracks that I couldn't get them all to play well simultaneously so there's a lot of automation going on and the drums are pretty much in the background... But I'm glad you liked the song, that to me is what really matters!

Chesapeake Bay visitors credit Arkansas research with moving water quality science forward in U.S.April 23, 2015
Contact Information:
By Fred Miller, Division of Agriculture Communications
479-575-5647, email@example.com
Fast Facts:
• Executive director of the Chesapeake Bay Commission and a Maryland environmental reporter visited Arkansas to see Division of Agriculture research firsthand.
• Division phosphorus management research is leading research efforts in other states.
• Visitors credit Arkansas scientist Andrew Sharpley with helping move Maryland toward phosphorus management tools for improving Chesapeake Bay water quality.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — During a visit to an Arkansas Discovery Farm in Washington County, Ann Swanson and Rona Kobell saw how Jeff Marley cooperates with University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture scientists to measure and document the effectiveness of best management practices for controlling phosphorus from chicken litter.
Swanson, executive director of the Chesapeake Bay Commission, and Kobell, an environmental reporter for the Chesapeake Bay Journal, came to Arkansas to see Division of Agriculture research firsthand and learn more about how the science is put to work on the state's poultry farms.
Marley told them he adopted best management practices developed over many years of Division of Agriculture research because he wants his family's poultry and cattle operation to run cleanly.
The Marley Family Farm became an Arkansas Discovery Farm because Marley supports ongoing research. He said the information he gets from nutrient management research by Andrew Sharpley, professor of crop, soil and environmental sciences, shows him how his management practices are working.
Arkansas Discovery Farms are privately owned businesses on which Division of Agriculture water quality research is being conducted. The main goal of the program is to determine the effectiveness of water and soil conservation practices on working farms.
Swanson said University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture research is ahead of the curve in phosphorus management research in the U.S.
"One of the reasons we came to Arkansas is that Arkansas and Andrew Sharpley and his folks really are leading the way in terms of phosphorus science," Swanson said. "The research and application in Arkansas is driving what's happening in phosphorus management elsewhere in the country."
The Chesapeake Bay Commission is a tri-state legislative commission set up to negotiate environmental policy and law between Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and between those states and the U.S. Congress. Swanson said clear and credible research is critical to establishing effective environmental regulation.
"One of the things we're really working on right now is phosphorus," Swanson said. "Phosphorus tends to be a big challenge in the area and one of the largest sources of that phosphorus is manure."
Kobell said the Chesapeake Bay region is third in poultry production in the U.S., behind Georgia and Arkansas, and phosphorus management is a big issue.
After hearing Sharpley speak during a science summit devoted to phosphorus management, Kobell said she wanted to come see what he and other Division of Agriculture scientists were doing. When Swanson learned of Kobell's plan to come to Arkansas, she signed on to the visit.
Swanson said the phosphorus summit was a turning point in Maryland passing regulations for Phosphorus Management Tools, a system for reducing the impact of the nutrient on area streams. She added that Sharpley's clear and compelling presentation at the phosphorus summit was key to getting Chesapeake Bay region officials onboard with taking regulatory action.
"When Andrew Sharpley got up on the stage and began explaining phosphorus, everyone — farmers, scientists, non-profits, the legal negotiators like myself — we all got it," Swanson said.
Sharpley clearly explained his research, what it meant and how it applied to policymaking, she said.
Swanson said the research and regulations applied to managing phosphorus in Arkansas' Illinois watershed were educational for similar efforts in the Chesapeake Bay region and other parts of the country.
"What happened here in terms of industry and academia and non-profits and even the courts coming together to help determine what's the next step with phosphorus is really meaningful," Swanson said. "In fact, it's so meaningful, even though it happened in Arkansas, it really is affecting what's happening elsewhere in the country and how manure is being properly managed."
"We really do have Arkansas to thank for helping us understand what were the right moves to control that pollution," Swanson said.
During their visit to Arkansas, Swanson and Kobell toured two Arkansas Discovery Farms and met with Division of Agriculture scientists and government agencies to learn how the research efforts and application in Arkansas might be applied to the Chesapeake Bay region.
Mike Sullivan, Arkansas State Conservationist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Services, said he hopes the visit will spur an information exchange in which the research and application of nutrient management systems in Arkansas and the Mississippi Basin will help those working in the Chesapeake Bay region.
The University of Arkansas is an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution.

United Nations (AP) - President Barack Obama is exhorting the world to unite around the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, challenging the United Nations to support an agreement that would create an independent
In a speech to the annual session of the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday, Obama will call on world leaders to cast aside decades of division over the conflict, overcome cynicism and prove their support for a settlement to be reached by the two sides that his administration is now pushing against long odds.
Without a deal, he will say, "more blood will be shed" and "this Holy Land will remain a symbol of our differences, instead of our common humanity," according to portions of the text released by the White House in advance of the speech.
"If an agreement is not reached, Palestinians will never know the pride and dignity that comes with their own state," he says. "Israelis will never know the certainty and security that comes with sovereign and stable neighbors who are committed to coexistence."
The excerpts released by the White House dealt only with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and made no mention of other foreign policy initiatives that Obama is expected to champion in his full remarks. The emphasis underscored the urgency of overcoming hurdles that he has met less than a month after relaunching direct negotiations between the parties.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is threatening to walk out of the talks if

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and the administration's special Middle East peace envoy George Mitchell have been meeting with officials from both sides and other interested parties this week in

Among those deeds are providing financial support from Arab states to the Palestinian Authority and preparing those in Muslim world for an eventual deal that will see their countries at peace with Israel.
Obama was to urge the U.N. in its 60th year to look beyond past
"We can come back here, next year, as we have for the last 60, and make long speeches about it," he was to say. "We can read familiar lists of grievances. We can table the same resolutions. We can further empower the forces of rejectionism and hate."
"We can do that," he was to say. "Or, we can say that this time will be different, that this time we will not let terror or turbulence or posturing or petty politics stand in the way.
"This time, we should draw upon the teachings of tolerance that lie at the heart of three great religions that see

Nothing. A lot of pounding, a lot of Daequan, a lot of, well, no calls actually.
What a DAMN good game. Whoever was there live for it is lucky.
Harrison's played 52 minutes in 2 games
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
I have not had this much fun as a Pacers fan in a long time. I love the way these guys play. Very, very, very entertaining.
Too bad UB has lost interest in defense. The old Uncle Buck would have LOVED the last 3 minutes of the game. But I'm sure he got just as big of a kick out of Rush's three's.
I loved the bench reaction during the last couple of minutes...Fantastic to see them involved in the game and actually enjoying it.
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
I think David may be the biggest beneficiary of the newly swallowed referee whistles in the league. He gets to stay on the court!!
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
i vote the stat of the night belongs to jermaine: 7 ast
This is the darkest timeline.
What is going on with daniels? He played so well in the preseason and the last 2 games haven't been up to his standard. 0-7 shooting tonight? I thought even a blind squirrel found nuts every now and then
They can apply defense and hit big threes. Plus they do not quit.
I can't wait til JO actually is 100% and gets more comfortable out there. It looks like we've got two fairly reliable number two guys now in Danny and Mike. *knock on wood*
Anyone notice that Danny had no assist?
I'm one of those "I told you so guys". DunDun just needed some adjustment time. he's a great team player.
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
The Pacers played like crap most of the game, but still managed the win. A win's a win, but hopefully they'll play better tomorrow.
That's another thing about Obie's system; not only is it fun to watch, it's allowing the Pacers to stay in games. Last year, the Pacers would've lost this game, IMO. Throughout this game, despite the fact that the Pacers played like crap and were trailing during some stretches, I never really lost confidence in their ability to win the game. Bring on Memphis!

2 playoffs team down. 5 more to go
This is a game last years Pacers not only would have lost, but lost badly. They had a lot of guys step up and play well, and Jermaine did not do much scoring tonight. In the past that would have been a recipe for disaster for this team. But we battled as hard as we could and hit some clutch shots. Kareem has ice water in his veins, and I like the fact that OB had him out there late. I had no doubt that the second 3 he hit was going in. That's just the type of shooter he is.
Great game by Danny, he hit shots when our offense was struggling to get going and played well defensively. He has now made both Caron Butler and Ricky Davis look bad. I was not expecting a hot start out of him after his lackluster pre-season, but he has been the most impressive Pacer so far. What's scary is I don't think he's anywhere near where he can be.
I'm beginning to see exactly how this team is going to win games. Different guys are going to step up at different times. Ike will carry the team at times, Danny will at times, Dunleavy will at times. We don't have a guy that can go out and dominate offensively all game, but as a unit, they are tough to defend. I think we'll just get better and more efficient offensively as the season goes on, and the sloppy stretches will get shorter and shorter.
The refs were honestly terrible tonight. I'm not even talking about the last charge on Jermaine, because he was inside the restricted area. They were bad all night, and it seemed to help the Heat more then the Pacers. We kept our cool through everything though, and got the W. A team with poise we are indeed.
On another referee note, what is with them all of a sudden calling so many lane violations? They've been letting that go for years now, and all of a sudden they are whistling it, but only sometimes! Either call it or don't.
[Water on Fire] Can they keep this pace up for an entire season or be so worn down that the Baxter Y 40 and over Men's league could run em off the court??[/Water on Fire]
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
I thin their conditioning will be the key to this season, If they can keep it up all season long then they will wear alot of teams down in the 4th quarter.
Its awesome to see this much energy and their NEW never give up attitude.
[/center]If you havin' depth problems, I feel bad for you son; I got 99 problems but a bench ain't one! - Hicks
Ähm, stupid question i guess, but can someone tell me what the "BA" in the Nba.com statistic means?
One step at a time for Danger, but he is averaging 22.5 pts, 11 rebs, .5 assists.
JO is all of sudden freaking a really good passing big man, wow.
Reading the game thread, I read a whole bunch of "terrible game" comments.
This is what we're going to be facing when we play some of the more bruising teams. Lower percentages, seemingly sloppier play. Sometimes games will look ugly, especially against teams that want to control tempo and beat you up.
Even if it doesn't LOOK pretty, it can still be good play. In the end, you can still have a good game compared to how other teams match up with them.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. - Winston Churchill
If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to serve as a horrible warning. - Catherine Aird
I will go on record saying that if Murphy proves me wrong with his play, I will write a formal apology to the man to be published on this website as well as sent to the man himself.
I too was surprised that he wasn't in to close out the game. In fact....I was surprised....but glad...that Rush was on the floor.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
EDIT - I forgot that Murphy is out as well. I really hope that we spread the minutes out more to the entire 10-man rotation.

Recipe for Success is helping Houston fight childhood obesity. Their programs not only reiterate important messages regarding healthy food selection, but they also teach children to be interested in where, how and when their food gets to them. Understanding the story of how food arrives seed-to-plate cultivates an appreciation and constant craving for what is fresh and good. When kids make better food choices, their families do too.
Through hands-on experiential education in the garden and culinary classrooms, students create a deep relationship with food and begin building the foundation of a lifetime of health. By making healthy food fun, students' are empowered with a knowledge and awareness of where food comes from and the skills to grow and cook their own. Learning, thinking and true human knowledge is ignited outside the bounds of a normal classroom and students' lives are activated by making fresh fruits and vegetables the "normal" in their daily life.
Recipe for Success has been a great program for our students. Introducing them to the entire process of taking seeds al the way to their plates. Students are trying different foods they wouldn't typically taste because they planted the actually seeds.
I absolutely love seeing the children gain new knowledge and skills that will help them make better and healthier choices with food. I love their excitement and energy in trying things out for the first time. but most importantly how they change their minds about a certain food and their excitement to share it with their family. Please keep on supporting this Great Non-Profit organization, Recipe for Success is Amazing!
I really enjoy volunteering with RFS. There are so many different volunteer opportunities and you can do a little or a lot. I've especially enjoyed working with the kids in the classroom. You really get to see firsthand the success of RFS mission.
Recipe4Success has been tremendous in providing our school all the support we need to maneuver through the program.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a volunteer with Recipe for Success Foundation. The staff is well organized and keeps in constant contact with volunteers regarding ongoing opportunities. A beautiful monthly e-magazine is sent that keeps volunteers and other stakeholders abreast of the goings on within the organization. Recipe for Success Foundation is a place where you can really see the impact that the program has on the children. Things are only getting more exciting as Hope Farms is getting closer to fruition!
Recipe for Success provides many resources for teachers and students to learn about healthy foods and gardening.
Recipe for Success is an amazing program for our students! They help teach our students all about healthy food choices, cooking, gardening. Our students get little to no exposure when it comes to choosing healthy foods, gardening, and cooking, and they absolutely love getting to participate in RFS. This program is helping change our students mind set about eating natural foods, and continue to bring necessary awareness to our parents.
Recipe for success does a wonderful job teaching and exposing children to healthy and delicious foods. By growing gardens and then using some of that food in recipes, they spark children's interest and help them develop a desire to eat healthier foods.
Previous Stories
Recipe for Success helps children learn, in a hands on way, about plants, gardening, nutrition, and geography. Volunteering has allowed me to see first hand the positive impact this has with elementary kids. I get to volunteer with Emily Paul. Her enthusiasm and caring way, motivates children to want to learn, try new experiences, and ask questions. It is a terrific program that is worthwhile for a lifetime!

In another heartbreaking loss, the Mets could not hold a two-run lead for Johan Santana, losing to the Cardinals 12-7 in 10 innings. Santana wasn't great tonight. Although he had the longest outing of the season, pitching eight innings, he still allowed five runs.
He even helped himself by hitting a two-run double and making two amazing defensive plays. One was a difficult short pop-up that he had to go back on and another was a ball that he kicked off his heel to David Wright, who threw out the runner at first.
Francisco Rodriguez came into the game in the ninth inning with a two-run lead, but he didn't have his stuff. It was only his second save chance since the All-Star break and it showed. Rodriguez allowed two doubles in a row to close the gap to one run. He then struck out Colby Rasmus. He then allowed another single to tie the game at seven. He was able to get out of the inning but not before throwing almost 50 pitches.
The 10th inning was even worse. Jerry Manuel tried to play matchups with the Cardinals batters, so he brought in Brian Stokes. He got his job done by getting Yadier Molina to ground out. He then brought in Pedro Feliciano, who gave up a single to Rick Ankiel. Julio Lugo singled to center. Feliciano wasn't on his game, either. He walked Colby Rasmus before striking out Skip Schumaker.
With two outs and the bases loaded, Sean Green came into the game to face right-handed batter Mark DeRosa. On his very first pitch, Green hit DeRosa, bringing home the go-ahead run. He then faced Albert Pujols, who was 0-12 entering the game. He already hit a solo home run off of Santana in the eighth inning right into the centerfield apple. Green fired and Pujols got all of it, hitting his fifth grand slam of the season and his fourth hit, fifth RBI and third run of the game. Nothing like a thrasing of the Mets to get him out of his funk.
Of course, the Mets didn't come back. What's worse is that Luis Castillo injured his ankle going into the Mets dugout. It wasn't even an injury on the field. He slipped on the stairs and suffered a sprained ankle. He could be out a day or several weeks depending on the severity of the injury.
There's nothing like watching a game where you think the Mets might actually have a chance of winning and totally get blown out. But that's what it's like to be a Mets fan this year.

Investigators will return Thursday to the scene of a blaze that damaged 70 percent of a South Hall home Wednesday night.
Capt. Scott Cagle, Hall County's fire marshal, said firefighters were called to 5551 Amber Cove Way, off Union Church Road, at about 8 p.m. They still were on the scene at 10:15 p.m. Wednesday.
"It's been a lengthy process," Cagle said. "The house is unlivable."
Firefighters arrived to find flames and smoke showing from the 2,000-square-foot home.
The owner, Michael Adams, his wife and three children, escaped without injury, Cagle said. They stayed with family members Wednesday night.
Cagle said the family has insurance, and the insurance company already is making arrangements.
The occupants smelled smoke Wednesday evening and tried to find out where the smell was coming from. A next-door neighbor came over to tell them their house was on fire, Cagle said.

Contact lenses are widely used these days as an alternative to wearing glasses. Unlike before, there are so many different types of lenses with equally many maintaining instructions, so taking care of your lenses may sound trickier then it actually is. Improper use of your contact lenses can lead to irritations or more severe eye conditions, so here is a brief guide to show you how to take care of your contact lenses.
Proper hygiene is a must
Always wash your hands with water and soap before touching your lenses. Rinse with plenty of water and dry your hands with a towel, as residues from soap or detergent may irritate your eyes and cause pain or even blurred vision.
Put in your lenses before applying makeup – this way they don't accidentally touch your face and get filled with particles. Similarly, remove the lenses before removing the makeup.
Wear and maintain the lenses as prescribed
Each type of lenses comes with its own wearing schedule, so make sure you follow the doctor's recommendations. Don't wear them like you heard your friends do – you can't know what type of lenses they are using.
Also, make sure you clean and store your contact lenses as per the doctor's recommendations. Older models should be cleaned by rubbing them gently with your finger in the palm of your hand, while some newer models simply have to be dipped in a cleaning solution.
Don't share
Don't use other peoples' contact lenses and don't share yours. Doctors and ophthalmologists recommend contact lenses that match particularities of each person's eyes, so even contacts that have never been worn – but haven't been prescribed specifically for you – can be detrimental to your eyes. And if that other person has already worn them then more risks are to be taken into account – this can spread an infection or particles from their eyes to yours.
Check with the doctor regularly
You should see your doctor annually to check your lenses prescription, but you are highly advised to check in as soon as you have any problems like mild irritations, vision blurriness or red eyes – after all, it's better to be safe than sorry!

Education is one of the biggest problems in developing countries. Either it is not accessible to everyone or the quality is way below the standard. In terms of access to education, statistics from 2007 reveal that there are 182 millions children enrolled in 1.04 elementary schools, which is 82% of the children between 5 and14 years. But the situation gets worse when we start talking about the quality of education and of learning outcomes.
During the Frugal Innovation Forum organised by BRAC in Dhaka, we had a chance to speak with Ranajiit Bhattacharyya, General Manager of Aser, who gave us an interesting perspective about the problems in education in India. "ASER Centre is the research and assessment wing of Pratham Education Foundation, which is working in the field of primary education trying to solve issues of quality. ASER centre is best known for its survey called, 'The annual survey of education report'. It has been done every year since 2005, and I'm associated with that since the beginning. We assess the learning outcomes of rural primary school children. It is a household-based and not school-based service. We measure the basic reading and mathematical ability of children from 5 to 16 years. Over a period of time, we have recorded that the learning levels are not very high. It's pretty stagnant. Just to give you an idea, ASER has recorded that over 50% of the children in class 5 could not read standard 2 level text. In 2010, it was 47%," explains Ranajiit.
One of the most important aspects of this survey is that it is able to interview 700,000 people every year. "Every year, 30 villages are chosen in each district and in every village 20 households are chosen. Local partners conduct the survey. Our role is to design the survey, train the partners and then we analyse the date and create the report that is usually published in January," says Ranajiit.
Considering the great success that the survey has had in India, they have started to replicate this in other countries as well. "ASER processes have been replicated in Pakistan, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Mali. BRAC has shown interest in replicating it also in Bangladesh and we are currently working on it. What's important is that each country observes our process and then adapts it to its own necessity," adds Ranajiit.
Behind the shocking results of the annual survey of education report there is a sad reality. "Without mastering competencies of reading standard 2 level or simple subtraction or division, a child cannot progress through a school system. They cannot learn without mastering this. What we have noticed is that in any class there is a wide variation in ability. Some children are in a good level, some just recognise letters, while others just recognise words. Teachers are not trained to pick the diverse learning ability among children so they teach by curriculum, and are always in a rush to finish it. They are simply not trained to pick those children," says Ranajiit.
What's the solution to solve this huge problem? Fixing the education system according to the needs of the children. "What we are advocating now, and some governments are piloting it, is that during the school time, groups of children from standards 3, 4 and 5 are clubbed according to their abilities. So all the children who can just recognise letters are grouped together, same for the ones who recognise words and they are taken through a short intervention. There are different methods that facilitates, within a period of three months, a child to read fully," advices Ranajiit.
To conclude the interview we asked Ranajiit what was, in his opinion, the role of education in the future of India. His answer clearly shows the role that education will play. "Education is very important in India because we are a very vast country both in terms of size and population and because we are a very young country. 65% of our population is under 35 and we are set to become the youngest country in the world. If we are producing so many non readers and if we are not addressing the issue of non learning, we could find ourselves in a demography nightmare," concludes Ranajiit.

So we started seeing a trend a few days ago when emails started coming in that were telling us their stories about what happened when certain moms of MommyLand went out to their mailboxes and found red Target envelopes and WalMart envelopes and all kinds of envelopes with all kinds of surprises inside.
And, Kate called Lydia and said, "See, hooker! I told you Target was freakin' magical." And then Lydia tried to remind her that Kate was the one that had been all cynic-y and snitchy about the Hooker Experiment. But fortunately, Kate had stopped listening at that point...
We think the thing we didn't expect in this grand experiment was the stories. We read the most heart-wrenching stories from moms who needed help and the most amazing stories from moms for the reasons they wanted to help. [Editor's Note: One mom had lost her son, and wanted to send a gift to the mom of a son, just so she could remember what it was like. To that mom who wrote us that letter, thank you for the reminder of how special those tiny humans are, especially when they're making us crazy. I hope you don't mind me sharing a moment of your story. - Kate]
We don't want to share those stories you've sent us without your permission. Many of you have asked for anonymity, but many of you have stories you want to share. The Story of the Trip to the Mailbox. The Story of the Red Envelope. The Story I'll Tell My Children About Christmas. So, please. Tell Us A Story. Your story.

After Vioxx: The Pros and Cons of Other Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
All pain relievers have risks as well as benefits. Get the pros and cons of anti-inflammatory medicines here.
By Martin Downs
Reviewed By Charlotte Grayson
The recent recall of the pain reliever Vioxx has raised many questions, not the least of which is, what can patients take now?
"It's been an enormous challenge to all of us," says Terence Starz, MD, a clinical professor of medicine and chief of rheumatology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "Our practice was overwhelmed," he says.
Vioxx maker Merck & Co. voluntarily pulled the drug off the market on Sept. 30, 2004, after a study showed it doubles a person's risk of heart attack and stroke. Nearly 2 million people worldwide were taking Vioxx. Starz says almost 250 of his own patients were on it.
According to Time magazine, in the day following the recall announcement, an estimated 28,800 Americans switched to another drug. Most of them went on Celebrex or Bextra, similar drugs that had been Vioxx's competitors.
Before consumers rush to another medicine, however, experts say they should pause to weigh the pros and cons of each option. All pain relievers, even over-the-counter aspirin, Motrin, or Tylenol, have risks. It's never a good idea to take any pill every day unless you're under your doctor's supervision. Moreover, pain relievers aren't always the best treatment for many causes of chronic pain.

I had one IPL treatment a couple days ago to treat undereye dark circles, procedure took 30 seconds. Now I am finding a bunch of reviews over the internet that say it can cause fat lose several weeks after treatment! Now Im worried because I already receive restylane injections under my eyes! Please answer!
Can IPL Cause Fat Loss if Used Undereyes?
Doctor Answers 8
IPL is a good option for dark circles
IPL is commonly used for pigment and vascular problems of the skin. IPL (intense pulsed light) does not penetrate beneath the dermis of the skin and, therefore, should have no effect on the underlying fatty tissue. In contrast, there are other devices on the market which you may have read about that can cause fat contour changes following treatment, which include; radio-frequency devices like Thermage and focused ultrasound treatments like, Ultherapy, where the contour change through fat reduction is the goal of the treatment. It is possible that the reviews on the internet you are seeing may be referring to some of these other technologies and not to IPL. There is no cause for concern about IPL causing fatty tissue loss.
Low Risk of Fat Loss with Photofacials
It is unlikely that any IPL treatments can safely target fat or indiscriminately cause fat atrophy causing hollowness under the eyes.

IPL will not cause fat loss
Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a superficial treatment useful for treating pigment variations and small blood vessels. Although filters can be used to alter the wavelength, and thus depth of penetration, none go beyond the dermis into the deeper tissues where fat is found.
IPL for Pigment
IPL works for pigmentary issues and some use it for hair removal. It is superficial and will not affect your Restylane or your own fat under your skin.
IPL should not cause fat atrophy
IPL does not come anywhere near the fat layers and will not injure the fat. Your internet reviews are made by ill informed people apparently. IPL does not even pass through all the layers of the skin and the fat is definately below the skin.
No, IPL will not cause fat loss under the eyes.
IPL is a superficial, mostly colored light source that affects superficial vessels and pigment. IPL does not change the deeper fat.

A man already in custody for a violent hammer attack on an unsuspecting motorist in May has now been charged with a shooting incident that happened earlier the same day.
Winnipeg police said it's alleged that the same man who attacked a motorist with a hammer at 2 a.m. on May 11 in the 1900-block of William Avenue is also the same person who forced his way into a home in the 500-block of Magnus Avenue and shot a 25-year-old man.
There were seven people in the home at the time, including a baby girl and a seven-year-old girl.
The man fled before police arrived.
Terrance Hanska, 22 has been charged with attempted murder, break and enter with intent, pointing a firearm, reckless discharge of a firearm, three counts of assault with a weapon, and other related weapons charges.
Hanska was already facing charges of attempted murder and other related offences from the hammer attack.

Transparent Billboard Gives Real-Time Weather Forecast [Video]
New Zealand's MetService has created a tongue-in-cheek ad that emphasizes their accurate predictions.
This transparent billboard for a New Zealand weather service has been mocked up to look like a page in a web browser. It frames actual weather conditions, emphasizing the message that their forecasts are the most accurate out there.
Created by agency Y&R NZ for MetService, and located outside their office in Auckland, the billboard frame is a simple and clever way of advertising the service's real-time weather reports. Y&R's managing director, James Hurman, talks about the billboard's popularity:
It's been liked something like 30,000 times on Facebook, had over a million views on content sharing site imgur.com, was buzzfeed.com's ad of the month, made it to reddit's front page, and even got written about by The Sun. MetService is a small client the agency's had for years and the idea is to try to get as much return on their spend as possible, hence trying to see if we could make a billboard work in a different way and generate exposure well above and beyond the norm.
You can check out the billboard in the video below:

Re: Alternative Names for the Ravens
It was quite a party too that lasted a while with 1,000 pounds of beef, 500 pounds of ham, 15 1/2 barrels of beer plus 240 gallons hard cider which was a lot in those days, and 9 1/2 gallons of peach brandy and much more. Someone called it Federal Hill and the name stuck. During the Civil War union troops manned the hill with big guns pointed at the city in case the civilians acted up again like the did with they attacked Union troops marching from Union Station to Camden Yards to get on the train to DC. 12 rioters were shot on Pratt street.
The guns are still on the hill pointing at the city and could shoot as far as 25th Street or further.
The only patriotism wasn't in NE.

Also, there was an invasion of Florida by Americans in Georgia called the "Patriot War" in 1812-1814. They wanted to take Florida away from Spain at the same time we were at war with Great Britain. It didn't work.

Re: Alternative Names for the Ravens
The word is a french derivative and was adopted by soldiers in the NE. Patriots were, in essence, Massachusetts soldiers. The term would eventually morph into what we know today, but it's history.
During Revolutionary times, no soldier but a MA soldier would have been called a "Patriot".
Re: Alternative Names for the Ravens
Yea, my dad always said it was named Federal Hill because of that. He was born two blocks to the south of it.
The first blood shed of the Civil War was on Pratt St in Baltimore, not Ft Sumter. In fact, nobody died when the fort was taken til the next day when a soldier died when some captured ordnance in the fort accidently exploded.
More people died in Baltimore.
General Butler the Butcher was Lincoln's Commander then but didn't get the name Butcher til New Orleans where he massacred some people for the same thing in Baltimore. He carried out his threat there and all that was after he surrounded the State HOuse in Annapolis to stop them from voting to leave the union. He even arrested some of the legislatures trying to vote.
Today there's a big plaque in it's lobby that says they were just trying to get info on leaving. They wern't trying to vote to leave.
Total Bull Shit!!
Re: Alternative Names for the Ravens
As I understand it, the Federal Hill cannons were indeed present and used during the War of 1812 vs the British coming into the Harbor.
The cannons were turned towards the city itself after the battle of the Massachusetts troops marching from President Street Station (just south of President and Pratt, right near the Pier 5 hotel and Della Notte present day) down Pratt Street to Camden Station. In those days, the PRR stopped at President and the troops were moving from the PRR to the B&O to get to Washington.
They obviously weren't welcomed by the local populace as Maryland was a Southern state (though there were strong sentiments both ways). It just hadn't seceded yet (the book "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" gives a good look at pre-Civil War Baltimore)
Those attacking the soldiers included civilians and, if I remember correctly, members of the Baltimore Police Department, lead by the chief himself.
Lincoln decided he couldn't have any more of that, nor any part of Maryland seceding and therefore surrounding Washington. So the cannons were turned and they surrounded Annapolis.
What's interesting is there were both Union and Confederate armies raised from Maryland. Marylanders loyal to the Union marched under the coat of Calvert. Marylanders local to the Confederacy marched under the Crossland banner.
After the war, the state flag was changed to a combination of both and remains the same to this day. During the Preakness, give a close listen to "Maryland, My Maryland" when it's sung by the Naval Academy glee club.
I liked Ravens for the name during the phone poll after the Modell move. For the expansion name, I thought a name related to the railroad would have been good, given that modern railroading was more or less started in Baltimore at Mt Clare Junction.
Given the other choices, I'm just glad we got a name that has something to do with Baltimore. Unlike other cities, we don't have to play rhetorical games to pretend like the name really fits into something else famous about our city **cough** **cough** Colts and Jazz **cough** **cough**.---
Baltimore Colts (AAFC): 1947-1950
Baltimore Colts (NFL): 1953-1984

Re: Alternative Names for the Ravens
LOL - Just like Irsay snuck out of town in the middle of the night and a snow storm, Butler the Butcher snuck into town at night and under the cover of a thunderstoom to build an armed fort on Federal Hill. He was scared to death of those rioters. I'm sure my relatives were in there because my grandfather who was born in 1888 on Wilkens Ave had uncles who fought for the south. My bet is they were amongst the rioters too which is probably where I get my penchant for "stirring the pot" as Mista T always says.
Here's a pic of a gun pointing at the city and that looks like a Civil War era gun, not War of 1812.
Same type cannon here only a little shorter.

Re: Alternative Names for the Ravens
If Mista T had listened to his wife and done more reading than watching HBO he would have known that southerners were Patriots. Here's a link, ancestry.com, showing the records of the patriots from South Carolina that fought in the Revolutionary War. Also Col Morgan marched a detachment from Virginia to Cambridge to fight just two years after Bunker Hill. They were patriots too.
The army was called many things mainly The Continental Army, the Patriots, the Minutemen, the Rebels and even the Yankees with the last two being insults from the British. Yankee comes from the Dutch word yak which means redneck or hill billiy or slime. That's what the Dutch called the British when they drove them out of New York and latere allied themselves with the Patriots.
Gibson's movie was correct in breaking down the two groups in South Carolina as loyalists and patriots. The loyalists did massacre their patriot neighbors in the back woods.
A recent compilation of Patriot records, including militia records, is Bobby Gilmer Moss, comp., Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution (1983; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1994). See also Alexander S. Salley, Jr., comp., South Carolina Provincial Troops in Papers of the First Council of Safety, 1775 (1900–02; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1999).
And no one would deny Thomas Jefferson as a Patriot or James Madison not to
mention George Washington - all from Virginia. This link certainly doesn't.
It's so much easier to watch HBO and text.

City of Williston Seeks Community Input on Huge Redevelopment Project
February 17, 2017

City of Williston Seeks Community Input on Huge Redevelopment Project
The City of Williston is seeking community input on the future planning, design and management of a
massive redevelopment in Williston. The first of three town hall meetings will be held on Wednesday,
Feb. 22, from 6-8 p.m. at the Williston Area Recreation Center.
Construction on the Sloulin Field Redevelopment Project will begin after the new Williston Basin
International Airport (XWA) opens (estimated in 2019). Williston City Administrator David Tuan
emphasizes that the two projects complement each other.
"The XWA project is on schedule and on budget," said Tuan. "Construction will begin as soon as weather permits in the spring. We anticipate the new airport will take approximately two years to complete."
During the new airport's build out, the master planner of the Sloulin Field Redevelopment, Cardon
Global, will be gathering inspiration and ideas. Essentially, the community will have a rare opportunity to reimagine the 800-plus acre site in the heart of Williston. The first chance for local residents to weigh in on their ideas will be at the Feb. 22 meeting.
"I really think people will have a lot of fun at this meeting. You will hear a lot of ideas; and some of them will definitely be outside of the box," said Shawn Wenko, Williston Economic Development executive director. "But this is how the process starts. The final plans will represent what the public wants."
Keypad polling will be utilized during the meeting. The process will allow participants to vote on the
concepts and ideas that are introduced. Cardon Global has already shared some potential concepts
during a Dec. 9, 2016 meeting with Williston business and civic leaders. Kurt Culbertson, CEO and
Chairman of Design Workshop was one of the primary presenters. He will also play a key role in the Feb. 22 gathering.
"We want to create some cool places that everyone wants to go to," said Culbertson. "This is the
beginning of a process to derive a community-based vision."
The Sloulin Field Redevelopment Community Input meeting is open to the public. The second meeting is scheduled June 7 and the final meeting will be held Sept. 20 from 6-8 p.m. at the Williston Area
Recreation Center.
For more information please call Williston Economic Development at 701-577-8110.

not sure where you're gathering these, but I have a few to add to that list: highlight "querySelector" for selected nodes (not sure what the syntax is for a "subject verb" type of command) with a selected node in the highlighter: addStyle "style attribute contents" // camelCase? add-style? add/remove attribute "value" add/remove class "name" inspect node // open object inspector on highlit node, maybe command should be "introspect"? many others!

I guess that's a bit early for that, but I'd love: breakpoint universe.js:42 and the likes. Oh the beauty.

When creating this list we must ensure that all of the jstermhelpers are included: $ = getElementById(...) // ID $$ = querySelectorAll(...) // CSS Selector $x = document.evaluate(...) // XPath clear = console.clear keys = Object.keys(...) values = help = window.open('https://developer.mozilla.org/AppLinks/WebConsoleHelp') $0 = Inspected Object inspect = open object inspector pprint = console.log++ ? print = console.log ?

Bearded Iris
Cultural Information
Irises are one of the most rewarding and easy-to-grow bulbs, performing best in full sun. Soil should be well drained. Plant bearded iris bulbs in the fall for spring blooms.
Blooms first appear in April and, depending on the varieties, irises continue to bloom into summer. Today there are many Bearded Irises that are rebloomers or remontant irises. These will blossom a second time.
As soon as the last flower has faded, remove the spike.
1. Mix Pike Planting Mix into the planting area.
2. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root system.
3. In the bottom of each hole, mix into soil a small handful of E.B. Stone Bulb Food.
4. Plant so the top of the rhizome is just under the surface of the soil. Plant three rhizomes (bulbs) of the same variety at a time. Place 12 inches apart, two with growing points heading away from each other and a third pointed to fill the gap between them.
5. Water thoroughly.
If using a water-soluble fertilizer, feed every two weeks with Grow More Super Bloomer. Granular or dry fertilizers such as E.B. Stone Bulb Food can be applied every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season.
E.B. Stone Sul-Po-Mag applied during spring will also help promote lusher foliage and brighter flowers.
Once established, bearded iris are very tolerant to dry conditions, but regular watering to supplement the rain will provide better-quality blooms and more of them. Soil should be kept moist but not soggy. Good drainage is a must.
Irises require very little maintenance. Immediately after flowering, remove the spent flower spikes by cutting off at ground level. Don't be afraid to cut the blooms and bring the flowers inside and use in a fresh-cut floral arrangement.

don't get me wrong but for the brand new state of the art F10 M5 to edge out a 4 year old CTSv competitor by such a narrow margin I am a bit disappointed. I foresee the revised CTSv to even it back up and then some. And even if the F10 can be modified in the near future or they up the boost somewhat, this current CTSV with $3-5k of mods is at 625 hp with a stock cam and heads. And with heads and cam over 700 hp easily. so bmw has their work cut out for them. For the $ i'd buy a low mileage caddy and dump in some mods and have $ left over for a nice E46 M3.
My fav videos of the 700 hp CTSv.

CM/ECF and PACER Information
Case Management/Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF)
In January 1996, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts began development of the Case Management/Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) system. CM/ECF is a comprehensive case management system that allows courts to maintain electronic case files and offer electronic filing over the Internet. Courts can make all case information immediately available electronically through the Internet. Eventually, CM/ECF will replace the current case management systems used by the federal courts across the country.
Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER)
Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) is an electronic public access service that allows users to obtain case and docket information from Federal Appellate, District and Bankruptcy courts, and from the PACER Case Locator via the Internet. Links to all courts are provided from this web site.
Electronic access is available by registering with the PACER Service Center, the judiciary's centralized registration, billing, and technical support center.
Each court maintains its own databases with case information. Because PACER database systems are maintained within each court, each jurisdiction will have a different URL. Each court service is comparable to the others; however, the format and content of the information may differ slightly.
PACER is a service of the United States Judiciary. The PACER Service Center is operated by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts.

The Gordon Research Seminar on Radiation & Climate is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.
The focus of this meeting is to discuss recent efforts in understanding interactions between radiation, clouds and climate across a range of topics, that include, but are not limited to: radiation, convection, and large-scale dynamics; radiation at the Earth's surface; and the role of clouds. We encourage abstracts that focus on a process-level understanding of these disciplines, and especially those that do so through a synthesis of observations and models.

A $3.6 billion spending plan for public schools moved within one step of final approval Wednesday when the Louisiana House Education Committee approved it.
The measure, Senate Concurrent Resolution 55, next faces action in the full House.
If it passes there, it would be the first new public school funding package since 2011.
A court struck down the 2012 spending outline, and the 2013 proposal died in the Legislature.
"This Senate concurrent resolution is as good as we are going to get," Senate Education Committee Chairman Conrad Appel, R-Metairie, told the panel.
"A compromise, absolutely," Appel said.
State school aid goes through a complex formula called the Minimum Foundation Program.
It provides roughly two-thirds of the dollars that support Louisiana's 700,000 or so public school students.
The legislation would require that local school districts sustain teacher stipends or other increases that were financed by the Legislature last year.
It also includes $14.5 million in new aid to help students with profound disabilities, boost support for the most expensive career education classes such as welding and provide new assistance for dual enrollment, which involves classes outside of high schools.
The measure would boost spending per student from $3,855, where it has been since 2008, to $3,961.
House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Bel Edwards, D-Amite, criticized the lack of an automatic, 2.75 percent increase in state aid for public schools in future years.
That provision was in the initial spending plan sent to the Legislature by the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
However, it was rejected by the Senate Education Committee.
Appel said it would be unfair for state school aid to rise even when the Legislature was unable to agree on a new funding plan.
Edwards, a member of the committee, said he liked other parts of the legislation.
The proposal was backed by the Louisiana School Boards Association and the Louisiana Association of Superintendents.
It was opposed by the Louisiana Federation of Teachers.
LFT President Steve Monaghan said the lack of any requirement for 2.75 percent aid increases in the future means that a key driver in school funding hikes will soon be forgotten.
Monaghan also criticized the lack of any pay raises for school support personnel.
"All of those concerns amount to a reluctant red card," he said, a reference to the committee witness cards that express opposition.

Pearl Jam Puts Hard Rock Spin on 'Let It Go' From 'Frozen'
Photo: Getty Images
By Kathleen Perricone
During a concert over the weekend in Milan, Italy, Pearl Jam snuck a 44-second cover of the Frozen hit song while performing their 1993 classic, "Daughter."
Although the song choice may seem surprising, given the fact that singer Eddie Vedder has two daughters, Olivia, 10, and Harper, 5, we can only imagine he's heard "Let It Go" about a billion times at home.
Pearl Jam's "Let It Go" cover was first reported by Stereogum.com.
Idina Menzel's version of "Let It Go" peaked at #24 on the AT40 Hot AC chart, check out this week's Top 40 Chart and Hot AC Chart.

Hughes expressed uncertainty about his role following Wednesday's heart-breaking Euro 2004 exit at the hands of Russia and said that the decision on whether to continue was out of his hands.
"I certainly hope that Mark is there for the 2006 World Cup campaign, he's taken us forward in leaps and bounds," Collins told BBC Sport Wales.
"Mark is contracted with us for another two years and he has said that is what he wants to do, but you would have to ask him whether that is still his intention.
"It will take Mark and his management team some time to analyse what happened and put things in place for the World Cup campaign.
"We need to regroup and build again."
The FAW have given Hughes every backing and resource he asked for during his time in the Welsh hot seat and it seems clear that they are not about to withdraw their support.
Hughes will meet the FAW top brass at a scheduled meeting on Friday to discuss the past qualifying campaign and plan for the future.
The question must remain, though, of whether Hughes still needs Welsh football.
His close friend and former assistant Mark Bowen was ambivalent.
"It's a very difficult time for Mark and for everyone concerned with Wales," said Bowen. "It shows the humility of the man that he says his Wales future is out of his hands.
"He has an excellent relationship with his players and staff, but at the moment Mark is taking stock of things.
"I really don't know whether he'll walk away. Whatever he does, he'll go away and consider it with friends, family and players before reaching a decision."

Vintage Ericofon Telephones
Since at least the beginning of the 21st century, if you asked most people to describe a "phone," they'd probably describe a small, one-piece rectangle that can be held in the palm of the hand. We call such devices cell phones. But in 1949, when Hugo Blomberg, Ralph Lysell, and Gösta Thames were tasked by their employer, L.M. Ericcson of Sweden, to design a next-generation telephone, the communications paradigm of the day was a heavy box that sat on a table and included a built-in cradle for a second bulky piece, a handset with a transmitter at one end and a receiver at the other.
As designed, these two-piece telephones worked just fine, and no one expected the handset not to be tethered to the box by a thick cord. In fact, the Bell System's Model 302 had been in production largely unchanged since 1937, and would remain so until 1958 when it was finally retired for the Model 500, which was only slightly more stylish than its Henry Dreyfuss-designed predecessor. But the Ericsson team was asked to come up with something completely different, a phone that would take advantage of recent reductions in the weight of materials and size of internal components. The age of the one-piece Ericofon was at hand.
Their solution, which debuted in Sweden in 1954, was initially marketed to institutions, particularly hospitals, which installed the phones in the rooms of bedridden patients—the idea was that it would be easier for patients to communicate with the outside world using a one-piece phone than a traditional model. To accomplish this feat, Blomberg and his colleagues simply placed the rotary dial of their phone in the enlarged base of the handset, with a "standswitch" in the center that produced a dial tone when the phone was lifted off a flat surface and would hang up when it was returned back down.
Initially the Ericofon, which is sometimes referred to as the Cobra or Kobra, was available in just six colors, but in 1956 when the phone was released to Europe and Australia, the palette expanded, eventually totaling 18 when it finally made its way to the United States, much to the chagrin of the Ma Bell monopoly. Of these, phones in a dark gray called Charcoal, a Kelly green called Accent Green, a pale blue called Nordic Blue, and a burgundy called Royal Dubonnet are the rarest.
In 1961, with sales of the Ericofon in the U.S. exceeding production capacity by 500%, Ericsson bought out its American distributor, North Electric, and transferred the manufacture of U.S. Ericofons to that company's headquarters in Ohio. The number of colors was reduced from 18 to eight, but the biggest change was the shape of the phone itself, which was now shorter.
At first the angle of these shorter receivers was also changed, from 76 to 65 degrees, but engineers determined that this steeper angle made the phone awkward to use, so the 76-degree angle, or something very close to it, was restored. For collectors, the bottom line to all this is that you can check the height of your phone (232mm versus 213.5mm) and the angle of the receiver to determine if you have what's called an "old case" or "new case" Ericofon.
Until 1967, all model number 52 Ericofons in the U.S. featured rotary dials in their bases. But in 1967, Ericsson introduced the Ericofon 60A with a push-button, TouchTone pad. It should have been an advance in keeping with the high-tech, space-age look of the Ericofon, but the phones broke easily and by 1972, North Electric stopped making Ericofons in the U.S. entirely. That didn't stop designers in Sweden from readying a new Ericofon, the 700, for Ericsson's 100th anniversary in 1976, but the solid-state "Centenary" phone, which came in five colors, never made it to the United States.
