His name stood out. There among the list of opposition groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood and Wafd and Tagammu parties that were meeting with Egyptian Vice-President Omar Suleiman on Sunday, it appeared: "also attending was Naguib Sawiris."
What was the telecom billionaire - the man financing upstart Canadian wireless provider Wind Mobile and Egypt's richest person - doing in a meeting discussing how the country could get out of its current political crisis?
Mr. Sawiris, whose investment in a start-up mobile-phone company sparked a highly charged debate on foreign ownership rules in Canada, leads a group of businessmen and other prominent Egyptians seeking middle ground between the opposing sides in the crisis.
While some of the harder-core protest leaders see the plan as a way to divide the opposition and weaken it, others see the group's proposal to allow Mr. Mubarak to remain as President, but to cede much of his authority to Mr. Suleiman, as a compromise way out of the crisis.
Mr. Sawiris, executive chairman of Orascom Telecom Holding SAE, became remarkably rich during the Mubarak years, but his sympathies are not with the President. "He is appalled at the amount of corruption he encountered," said a businessman who knows him well.
Mr. Sawiris's company bankrolled a Toronto entrepreneur's attempt to break into the Canadian wireless industry in 2008. But the Egyptian billionaire's stake raised red flags for regulators in Ottawa, and it took an extraordinary intervention by the Conservative government to allow Wind Mobile to launch. The company now faces another obstacle after a Federal Court overturned the government's decision on Friday.
Sonia and Patrick twitter widget
In Egypt, the Sawiris group calls itself "the dialogue committee." Made up of some leading business people and intellectuals, the Egyptian media have dubbed them "the wise men."
The group hopes to lend its weight to what its members see as a compromise position.
Besides calling for Mr. Mubarak to assume a more ceremonial role, the group's proposals, made public late last week, call for an independent judicial committee to propose amendments to the constitution that will allow for free and fair elections, an end to the country's 30-year state of emergency and an end to interference with any forms of media.
"We wrote this statement because we are concerned that the legitimate demands made by the people might lose momentum," said Amr Hamzawy, research director at the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut and another member of the group. "The President has only heeded part of those demands."
Besides Mr. Sawiris and Mr. Hamzawy, the wise men include media mogul Ibrahim Moallem, respected columnist Amr Elshobaki, and former Egyptian foreign minister Amr Moussa, who now heads the Cairo-based Arab League.
Sunday's groundbreaking meeting achieved "big progress," said Mr. Sawiris, who added that he believes the regime is "serious about reforms."
It's worth noting that the only two concrete things to come of the preliminary meeting were an agreement to establish an independent judicial committee to propose constitutional changes, and an end to the country's state of emergency. Both were items in the wise men's proposal.
Mr. Sawiris is renowned for extracting profits from volatile telecom markets, such as North Korea and war-torn Iraq.
"We go where people don't dare to go," he told The Globe and Mail's Iain Marlow last August. "We're crazy, adventurous."
In Canada, Mr. Sawiris has invested in Wind Mobile and has butted heads with Canada's protectionist policies and its entrenched big-three providers.
"I have been offered by two of them to buy me out at a very significant profit," Mr. Sawiris said. "But that means I'm a broker, not an industrialist. It's against my saga, against my history … And this, I would consider it as a bribe."
The man's timing can be impeccable. Mr. Sawiris owned a leading mobile operator in Tunisia until Jan. 5, when he sold his interests to a joint venture of Qatar's QTel and the son-in-law of then-president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.
A week later, Mr. Ben Ali and his family fled the country.
It seems clear that the Orascom oracle sees Egypt's current situation as he sees those others: an opportunity.
But many of the young protesters in Tahrir Square are unhappy with the intervention of the wise men.
They argue the protesters should have the last say in the outcome of their revolution, and they say they will settle for nothing less than the ouster of Mr. Mubarak. The protest leaders fear, said one, that if the Sawiris group's plan is accepted, 90 per cent of their support will leave Tahrir Square.
In effect, they argue, Mr. Sawiris and his cronies are splitting the opposition, playing to Mr. Mubarak's hand.
However, Mr. Sawiris insists the wise men's proposal "meets all the demands of the young people."
While he and the other wise men credit the youth with creating the opportunity for change, they argue they are not prepared to take things to the next level.
The problem with the young protesters, Mr. Sawiris said, is that "they are not unified … there is no leader to negotiate with." That's why Mr. Sawiris and his group have stepped forward.
They also have "no proposal for a transition period," he added, which is why his group's proposal of letting Mr. Mubarak finish out his term, albeit ceremonially, is better.

Car buyers with problem credit should stay away from lenders that require application fees for everything from personal loans to auto loans
We know loans
One way consumers with bad credit can tell if an offer to lend is legitimate is if the lender asks for a fee up front to process a car loan application.
At Auto Credit Express we're aware of this here because for the past twenty years we've been helping applicants with poor credit, searching for online car loans, locate those dealers that can give them their best opportunities at car loan approvals.
But the fact is that not all offers of credit car shoppers read about or may receive are legitimate.
Guaranteed loans
Looking for a guaranteed car loan or credit card but don't think you'll qualify? Turned down by a bank because of a less than perfect credit history?
According to the Federal Trade Commission, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and some ads could lead these folks to getting ripped off.
Credit and loan scams
Consumers with credit problems can be tempted by ads and websites that guarantee loans or credit cards, regardless of credit history. There is, however, a catch and it comes when applying for one and find out you have to pay a fee in advance. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), that could be a "tip-off to a rip-off."
That's because if you're asked to pay a fee for the promise of a loan or credit card, you can count on the fact that you're dealing with a scam artist. In most cases, you'll end up with just a stored value or debit card, not a loan or credit card.
Advance-fee loan scam tips
According to the FTC, some red flags can tip you off to these scammers:
• A lender who isn't interested in your credit history. A lender may offer loans or credit cards for many purposes — for example, so a borrower can start a business or consolidate bill payments. But one who doesn't care about your credit record should give you cause for concern. Ads that say "Bad credit? No problem" or "We don't care about your past. You deserve a loan" or "Get money fast" or even "No hassle — guaranteed" often indicate a scam.
• Banks and other legitimate lenders generally evaluate creditworthiness and confirm the information in an application before they guarantee firm offers of credit — even to creditworthy consumers.
• Fees that are not disclosed clearly or prominently. Scam lenders may say you've been approved for a loan, then call or email demanding a fee before you can get the money. Any up-front fee that the lender wants to collect before granting the loan is a cue to walk away, especially if you're told it's for "insurance," "processing," or just "paperwork."
Legitimate lenders often charge application, appraisal, or credit report fees. The differences? They disclose their fees clearly and prominently; they take their fees from the amount you borrow; and the fees usually are paid to the lender or broker after the loan is approved.
It's also a warning sign if a lender says they won't check your credit history, yet asks for your personal information, such as your Social Security number or bank account number. They may use your information to debit your bank account to pay a fee they're hiding.
The FTC also suggests that you watch out for:
• A loan that is offered by phone. It is illegal for companies doing business in the U.S. by phone to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver.
• A lender who uses a copy-cat or wanna-be name. Crooks give their companies names that sound like well-known or respected organizations and create websites that look slick. Some scam artists have pretended to be the Better Business Bureau or another reputable organization, and some even produce forged paperwork or pay people to pretend to be references. Always get a company's phone number from the phone book or directory assistance, and call to check they are who they say they are. Get a physical address, too: a company that advertises a PO Box as its address is one to check out with the appropriate authorities.
• A lender who is not registered in your state. Lenders and loan brokers are required to register in the states where they do business. To check registration, call your state Attorney General's office or your state's Department of Banking or Financial Regulation. Checking registration does not guarantee that you will be happy with a lender, but it helps weed out the crooks.
• A lender who asks you to wire money or pay an individual. Don't make a payment for a loan or credit card directly to an individual; legitimate lenders don't ask anyone to do that. In addition, don't use a wire transfer service or send money orders for a loan. You have little recourse if there's a problem with a wire transaction, and legitimate lenders don't pressure their customers to wire funds.
Reporting scammers
If you think you've experienced an advance-fee loan scam, report it to the FTC. To file a complaint or to get free information on consumer issues, visit ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP.
As we see it
If you've experienced credit problems and have been turned down for a loan from a traditional lender, you need to be aware of these loan scams as well as the fact that there may be more options than a BHPH car dealer.
At Auto Credit Express we match applicants that have experienced car credit problems with dealers that can give them their best chances at approved car loans.
So if you're ready to reestablish your auto credit, you can begin now by filling out our online car loan application.

Helping Your Child Learn Mathematics With activities for children in preschool through grade 5 U.S. Department of Education Office of Communications and Outreach
3 Foreword Contents We know from research that children are more likely to be successful learners of any subject when parents actively support their learning 1. Today, helping children to make the effort to learn, appreciate and master mathematics is more important than ever. Our increasingly technological world demands strong skills in mathematics, not only in the workforce but also in everyday life, and these demands will only increase over the lifetimes of our children. To ensure that our children are ready for high school and on track for success in college and the workforce, parents must become involved early and stay involved over the school years to reinforce children s skills in and positive attitudes toward mathematics. Starting in elementary school, children should be learning beginning concepts in algebra, geometry, measurement, statistics and logic. In addition, they should be learning how to solve problems by applying knowledge of math to new situations. They should be learning to think of themselves as mathematicians able to reason mathematically and to communicate mathematical ideas by talking and writing. Through the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, President George W. Bush has made clear his commitment to the goals of raising standards of achievement for all children and providing all children with highly qualified teachers and instruction that is based on scientific research. Helping Your Child Learn Mathematics is part of the president s efforts to provide parents with the latest research and practical information that can help them both to support children s learning at home and to understand what they should expect from their children s schools. This booklet includes a range of activities for families with children from preschool age through grade 5. These activities use materials found inside your home and also make learning experiences out of everyday routines, such as grocery shopping and doing laundry. The activities are designed for you to have fun with your child while developing and reinforcing mathematical skills. We hope you and your child will enjoy the activities suggested in this booklet and develop many more of your own. 1.

4 Introduction What kind of attitude do you have toward math? Do you believe that math skills are important job and life skills? Do you see math as useful in everyday life? Or do you dread doing things that involve math figuring out how much new carpet you ll need, balancing the checkbook, reading the technical manual that came with the DVD player? How you answer these questions indicates how you may be influencing your child s attitudes toward math and how he* approaches learning math. If America is going to stay the best place to do business in the world, we must have the best math students. Margaret Spellings U. S. Secretary of Education Although parents can be a positive force in helping children learn math, they also can undermine their children s math ability and attitudes by saying things such as: Math is hard, or I m not surprised you don t do well in math, I didn t like math either when I was in school, or I wasn t very good in math and I m a success, so don t worry about doing well. Although you can t make your child like math, you can encourage her to do so, and you can take steps to ensure that she learns to appreciate its value both in her everyday life and in preparing for her future. You might point out to her how fortunate she is to have the opportunity to learn mathematics today when mathematics knowledge can open the door to so many interesting and exciting possibilities. In everyday interactions with children, there are many things that parents can do and do without lecturing or applying pressure to help children learn to solve problems, to communicate mathematically and to demonstrate reasoning abilities. These skills are fundamental to learning mathematics. iv * Please note: In this booklet, we refer to a child as he in some places and she in others. We do this to make the booklet easier to read. Please understand, however, that every point that we make is the same for boys and girls. 1
5 Let s look closely at what it means to be a problem solver, to communicate mathematically and to demonstrate mathematical reasoning ability. A problem solver is someone who questions, finds, investigates and explores solutions to problems; demonstrates the ability to stick with a problem to find a solution; understands that there may be different ways to arrive at an answer; and applies math successfully to everyday situations. You can encourage your child to be a good problem solver by including him in routine activities that involve math for example, measuring, weighing, figuring costs and comparing prices of things he wants to buy. To communicate mathematically means to use mathematical language, numbers, charts or symbols to explain things and to explain the reasoning for solving a problem in a certain way, rather than just giving the answer. It also means careful listening to understand others ways of thinking and reasoning. You can help your child learn to communicate mathematically by asking her to explain what she must do to solve a math problem or how she arrived at her answer. You could ask your child to draw a picture or diagram to show how she arrived at the answer. Mathematical reasoning ability means thinking logically, being able to see similarities and differences in objects or problems, making choices based on those differences and thinking about relationships among things. You can encourage your child s mathematical reasoning ability by talking frequently with him about these thought processes. Some Important Things Your Child Needs to Know About Mathematics You can help your child learn math by offering her insights into how to approach math. She will develop more confidence in her math ability if she understands the following points: 1. Problems Can Be Solved in Different Ways. Although most math problems have only one answer, there may be many ways to get to that answer. Learning math is more than finding the correct answer; it s also a process of solving problems and applying what you ve learned to new problems. 2. Wrong Answers Sometimes Can Be Useful. Accuracy is always important in math. However, sometimes you can use a wrong answer to help your child figure out why she made a mistake. Analyzing wrong answers can help your child to understand the concepts underlying the problem and to learn to apply reasoning skills to arrive at the correct answer. Ask your child to explain how she solved a math problem. Her explanation might help you discover if she needs help with number skills, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, or with the concepts involved in solving the problem. 2 3
6 3. Take Risks! Help your child to be a risk taker. Help him see the value of trying to solve a problem, even if it s difficult. Give your child time to explore different approaches to solving a difficult problem. As he works, encourage him to talk about what he is thinking. This will help him to strengthen math skills and to become an independent thinker and problem solver. 4. Being Able to Do Mathematics in Your Head Is Important. Mathematics isn t restricted to pencil and paper activities. Doing math in your head (mental math) is a valuable skill that comes in handy as we make quick calculations of costs in stores, restaurants or gas stations. Let your child know that by using mental math, her math skills will become stronger. How to Use This Booklet The major portion of this booklet is made up of activities that you can use with your child to strengthen math skills and build strong positive attitudes toward math. You don t need to be a great mathematician or to have a college degree in math to use them. Your time and interest and the pleasure that you share with your child as part of working together are what matter most. As the activities pertain to specific mathematical concepts, the booklet provides a glossary defining these concepts (see page 60). Also, at the end of this booklet, you ll find lists of resources, such as books for you and for your child, helpful Web sites and the names of federal agencies that you can contact for more information about how to help your child with math. Let s get started! 5. It s Sometimes OK to Use a Calculator to Solve Mathematics Problems. It s OK to use calculators to solve math problems sometimes. They are widely used today, and knowing how to use them correctly is important. The idea is for your child not to fall back on the excuse, I don t need to know math I ve got a calculator. Let your child know that to use calculators correctly and most efficiently, she will need a strong grounding in math operations otherwise, how will she know whether the answer she sees displayed is reasonable! 4 5
7 Activities The activities in this section are arranged into four categories: Mathematics in the Home, Mathematics at the Grocery Store, Mathematics on the Go and Mathematics for the Fun of It. For each activity, you ll see a grade span from preschool through grade 5 that suggests when children should be ready to try it. Of course, children don t always become interested in or learn the same things at the same time. And they don t suddenly stop enjoying one thing and start enjoying another just because they are a little older. You re the best judge of which activity your child is ready to try. For example, you may find that an activity listed for children in grades 1 or 2 works well with your preschooler. On the other hand, you might discover that the same activity may not interest your child until he is in grade 3 or 4. Feel free to make changes in an activity shorten or lengthen it to suit your child s interests and attention span. Most of the things that you might need for these activities are found around most homes. As a parent, you can help your child want to learn in a way no one else can. That desire to learn is a key to your child s success, and, of course, enjoyment is an important motivator for learning. As you choose activities to use with your child, remember that helping him to learn doesn t mean that you can t laugh and have a good time. In fact, you can teach your child a lot through play. And you can play with and make games out of almost any math skill or concept. We hope that you and your child enjoy these activities and that they inspire you to think of additional activities of your own. Mathematics in the Home Your home is a great place for you to begin to explore and talk mathematics with your child. Incorporating math activities and language into familiar daily routines will show your child how math works in his everyday life and provide him with a safe environment in which to take risks by trying new things. Rhyme and Sing Preschool Young children love to hear, sing and say nursery rhymes and songs. Counting rhymes and songs can be both enjoyable for them and introduce them to basic mathematics concepts, such as number names and number sequence. Book of nursery rhymes or songs Feather Teach your child the following counting rhyme: Four Little Ducks Four little ducks that I once knew, Fat ducks, skinny ducks, they were, too. But one little duck with a feather on her back, She ruled the others with a quack! quack! quack! 6 7
8 Down to the river they all would go, 1, 2, 3, 4, all in a row. But one little duck with a feather on her back, She ruled the others with a quack! quack! quack! Say the rhyme with your child several times. When she can say the rhyme all the way through, have other family members join you. Give your child a feather and have her lead everyone around the room as you all sing. For the following rhyme, show your child how to perform the actions indicated. After saying the rhyme, ask your child to hold up the correct number of fingers to show how many frogs are in the rhyme at the beginning. Then have her hold up the correct number of fingers and count to five with you as you say each numeral. Teach your child any counting rhymes and songs that were your personal favorites when you were a child, or have your child ask her grandparents what rhymes they knew when they were children. Other counting rhymes, songs and games that you may want to teach your child include One, Two, Buckle My Shoe, This Old Man, Ten in a Bed (Roll Over) and One for the Money. Five Little Speckled Frogs Five little speckled frogs (hold up five fingers) Sitting on a speckled log (sit on your heels) Eating some most delicious bugs (pretend to eat) Yum! Yum! One jumped into the pool (jump) Where it was nice and cool (cross arms over chest and shiver) Now there are four little speckled frogs. (hold up four fingers) Burr-ump! (Continue until no frogs are left.) Number Hunt Preschool By counting, using number names and learning to recognize differences in number values, children build a foundation for the development of number sense and mathematical reasoning. 3 plastic eggs that come apart (or similar containers) Buttons Plastic netting Fortitles of books that contain counting rhymes and songs, see the list of children s books in the Resources section at the end of this booklet. 8 9
9 In pieces of netting, loosely wrap different numbers of buttons and place one bag of buttons in each egg. With your child out of the room, hide the eggs. Call your child into the room and tell her that you ve hidden three eggs and that you want her to find them. As she finds each egg, have her count aloud 1, 2, 3. When she s found all the eggs, have her open each one and take out the bag of buttons (but not open it). Ask her to count how many buttons are in each bag. Sometimes younger children don t understand that counting means naming numbers in a specific order. This simple point should be reinforced often. 10 Walk and Count Preschool Kindergarten Ordinary activities can be used to reinforce young children s number sense and introduce them to arithmetic operations, such as addition and subtraction. Take your child for a walk. You can walk around your neighborhood, through a park, or just around the rooms in your home. As you walk, say silly things for him to do, such as the following: Take two big steps and three little steps. Take three little steps, hop one time, take three big steps. Take one little step, turn around two times. Hop four times, turn around one time. Take three big steps forward and two big steps backward. Count aloud each kind of action that your child performs and compliment him for his efforts 1, 2 1, 2, 3 1, 2. That s great! Let your child turn the tables and say silly things for you to do as you walk. For your kindergarten child, expand the activity by asking him to guess (estimate) how many of his steps it will it take, for example, to get from the tree to the corner. After he makes his estimate, have him count steps to see how close the estimate is. Next ask him how many of your steps it will take. Will it take you more steps or fewer to go the same distance? Again, have him count to see if his answers are correct. Throughout the day, find ways to let children practice using arithmetic skills. Ask, for example, How many magazines came in the mail? How many more letters will we need to get to have 10 letters? Which are there more of, magazines or letters? 11
10 Calling attention to numbers that are all around them lets children know that numbers are important and that they are used for many different purposes. 12 Find It Preschool Kindergarten Young children may not recognize that numbers are all around them. Pointing out numbers on everyday items increases their number sense. Boxes, cans and bottles of food and other household supplies Place several boxes, cans and bottles on the kitchen table. You might use a cereal box, a can of soup and a bottle of dishwashing soap. Sit with your child and point out one or two numbers on each item. (Numbers can be found in the names of some products, as well as in the list of contents and in addresses. However, rather than pointing to a very large number, such as a ZIP code, point to one digit in that code a 6 or 3 or 8.) Point to one of the items and say a number that is easy to see. Ask your child to find it. Then have him look for that number on the other items. Have your child choose a number for you to find on one of the containers. Sort It Out Preschool Kindergarten Sorting and matching activities introduce young children to many mathematical operations, including classification and measurement. Pairs of socks of different sizes and colors Laundry When you re sorting and folding clean laundry, have your child join you and do such things as the following: Hold up a pair of matching socks that belong to her and say, for example, These socks go together because each sock is red and each one fits the same size foot yours! Pick up another sock and ask your child to look through the pile for the sock that matches it. When she chooses a sock, have her tell you how she knows that it s the right one. Continue holding up socks until your child has paired them all. If she mispairs any socks, gently correct her by asking her to tell the color of each sock and to put the socks together to see if they are the same size. After you ve done this activity several times, let your child choose the socks for you to pair. (Occasionally choose a wrong sock to give her the chance to help you correct your mistake!) 13
11 Have your child help you sort the laundry to be washed. Ask her, for example, to put all the blue things together, all the whites, all the towels and so forth. You might also have her count as she sorts. How many towels are there? How many shirts? Try saying, I count five shirts. Is that right? Then have your child count aloud the number of shirts. From time to time, give an incorrect number so that she can count the items one by one and show you that you ve made a mistake. Children need to see that grown-ups also make math mistakes occasionally and that they identify their mistakes and find ways to correct them. Shape Up Preschool Kindergarten Using objects that are familiar to young children can be a good way to introduce them to differences in shapes and to classification. Snack crackers in the shape of circles, squares, triangles Bread cut into different shapes Here are some simple things that you can do to focus your child s attention on different shapes: Fill a bowl with snack crackers in shapes such as circles, triangles and squares. Point to a cracker and say, for example, Look, this one s round. This one has three sides. See, This one has four sides. Let s count them Place a circular cracker on the table and ask your child to find other crackers that have the same shape. Continue with the other shapes. As you make sandwiches, cut the bread into circles, squares and triangles so that you have two each of each shape. Ask your child to match the pairs of shapes to make Shape Sandwiches. Have your child search for and point out different shapes on his clothes or in the room. Playing with children can provide many opportunities to engage in activities such as sorting, matching, comparing and arranging
12 A-Weigh We Go! Kindergarten Grade 1 Observing, estimating, weighing and comparing are all essential mathematics skills. Bathroom or kitchen scales Objects to weigh, such bags of sugar, flour, potatoes or onions; boxes of detergent and cookies; shoes of different sizes Paper and pencil A small plastic zipper bag filled with sugar and much larger zipper bag filled with cornflakes (or popped popcorn) Suitcase Show your child two objects, such as a five-pound bag of sugar and a 10 pound bag of potatoes, and ask him to guess which weighs the most. Show him how to use a scale to weigh the objects and see if his guess is right or wrong. Next show him several objects and ask him to guess how much each weighs. Have him write his estimates, then weigh the objects to see if they re correct. If you choose, have your child estimate his own weight, as well as that of other family members, and use the bathroom scale to check his guesses. Extend the activity or make it more challenging by doing the following: Show your child the small plastic bag filled with sugar and the larger bag filled with cornflakes or popped popcorn. Ask your child which will weigh more, the smaller or the larger bag? Have him weigh the bags to check whether his guess is correct. Afterwards, point out that bigger does not always mean heavier. Ask your child how he can weigh a suitcase that is too large to fit on the bathroom scale. Listen carefully to his answers try some of his suggestions, if possible and praise him for learning to think through problems. If he doesn t come up with a solution, show him that one way to find the weight of the suitcase is for him to stand on the scales while holding it and noting the total weight. Then put the suitcase aside and weigh himself again and note his weight. If he subtracts his weight from the total weight, the answer is the weight of the suitcase. Penny, Nickel, Dime Kindergarten Grade 1 Using simple bathroom and kitchen scales at home prepares children for using equipment in school to weigh and measure. Activities that involve money are a good way to develop mathematical reasoning and to reinforce what children are learning in school about numbers and arithmetic operations, such as addition and subtraction
13 Dice Pennies, nickels, dimes This is a good game to play with the family. Have each player roll the dice and say the number. Then give the player that number of pennies. Explain that each penny is worth one cent. When a player gets five pennies, replace the pennies with a nickel. Explain that five pennies have the same value as one nickel that is, five cents. When she gets five more pennies, replace the pennies and the nickel with a dime. Help her to see that the value of five pennies plus the value of a nickel (five cents) equals 10 cents, which is the value of a dime. The first player to reach a set amount 25 or 50 cents, for example wins. Children can be confused by money. Some might think that the larger a coin is, the more valuable it is so a penny or nickel would be more valuable than a dime. 18 Treasure Hunt Kindergarten Grade 1 Once children begin school, math-related activities at home can help to reinforce what they are learning about numbers and arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction, as well as reinforce classification skills and mathematical reasoning. Large container Buttons, bottle caps, old keys or any other small items that you can count As a rainy day activity, place the items in the container and give it to your child. Have him sort and classify items into piles: keys, buttons and so forth. Then have him explain how the items in each pile are alike and how they are different. For example, some buttons may be big and some small; some keys may be silver-colored and some gold-colored. Have your child choose one of the piles and organize the items in it by one characteristic, such as length. Have him lay the items end to end then compare and contrast what he sees. For example, how many short keys? long keys? Next, ask your child to use the items in another pile of items to solve simple math problems. Try problems such as the following: If you have 10 bottle caps and give me two, how many bottle caps do you have left? If you have three big buttons and three small ones, how many buttons do you have altogether? Create activities that challenge your child to use mathematical reasoning. Ask him, for example, to look closely at items and answer questions such as the following: Is a gold-colored key always heavier than a silver-colored one? Do the big buttons always have more holes than the smaller ones? Keeping the tone of math activities light will increase the likelihood that children will want to do them and make the activities seem less like homework. 19
14 In the News(paper) Kindergarten Grade 1 Newspapers are good resources for building number sense and arithmetic skills and using mathematical reasoning. Newspaper Safety scissors Pencil or crayon Glue Paper Hole puncher Yarn Give your child a newspaper and a set of numbers to look for for example, from 1 to 25 (or 1 to 100 if she is familiar with the higher numbers). Have her cut out the numbers and glue them in numerical order onto a large piece of paper. Call her attention to any ways in which the numbers differ for example, some will be in a bigger size of type than others, some will be in bold or italic type. Have her read the numbers to you, then put the paper aside. Have her practice counting up to that number then counting down from it. Also try having her count to the number by 2s or 5s. Next, have your child make a counting book by using pictures she s cut from the newspaper. Have her write the page numbers at the bottom of each blank page and paste one item on page 1, two on page 2 and so forth. Explain that all of the things she puts on a page must be alike in some way all animals, all basketball players, all cars and so on. Help her to write the name of the item on the appropriate page. Have your child read the book to you. Afterwards, ask her questions such as the following: How many pictures did you cut out altogether ( )? How many total pictures are on pages 1-3? on pages 1-6? We know that 6 = 2 x 3. Are there twice as many pictures on page 6 as on page 3? Are there twice as many pictures from page 1 to 6 as from pages 1 to 3? Which are there more of: pictures on pages 2, 3, and 4, or pictures on pages 5 and 6? Newspapers also can be used to help young children learn to recognize numbers in different sizes and kinds of type and to understand that the way a number looks does not change its value
15 Fill It Up Grades 1 2 Filling empty containers provides opportunities to explore geometric concepts, such as more or less and volume, and to apply measurement skills. Measuring cup Four large glasses of equal size and shape Water On a table, put the glasses in a row and fill them with water as follows: 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup, 1 cup. Ask your child questions that encourage her to compare, estimate and think about measurement. Ask, for example, Which glass has more water? Which has less? Pour more water into one of the glasses to make it equal to the amount of water in another glass. Move the glasses around so that the glasses that have the same amount of water are not next to each other. Ask your child to find the glasses that have the same amount of water. Help your child to do math in her head. Ask questions such as, If I have four cups of water and I need seven, how many more do I need to pour? As you use measuring cups, call attention to the different levels and use their names: one-fourth, one-half and so on. This will begin to familiarize children with the language they will use when they begin to work with fractions. 22 Tracking Time Grades 2 3 Introducing children to statistics and data analysis can begin by having them collect information, analyze it and describe or present their findings in an organized way. Stopwatch, watch or clock Newspaper Blank paper Graph paper Ruler Small round object to trace to make a pie chart Pencil and markers or crayons Show your child how to keep track of the time he spends on two activities, such as watching television and doing homework. Help him to make a chart with two columns, one labeled Television and one labeled Homework. Down the left side of the chart, write the days of the week. Tell him that you want him to write the number of minutes he spends doing each activity on each day. At the end of the week, sit down with him and talk about what the table shows. 23
16 Help your child to make a chart to use as he watches television. Give him a stopwatch (or an easy-to-read clock or watch) and tell him to record how much time of each television show is used for commercials and how much time is used for the actual show. Have him keep the record for one night of viewing. On the graph paper, help him to make a bar graph that shows the different amounts of time devoted to the show and to commercials. Or, show him how to make a pie chart. Together with your child, keep track of how he spends time in one 24-hour period: time spent sleeping, eating, playing, reading and going to school. Help him to measure a strip of paper 24 inches long, with each inch representing one hour. Using a different color for each activity, have him color the number of hours he spends in each activity. You and other family members can make similar charts; then your child can compare the charts and see how everyone in the family spends time. A good way to show children how statistics are used in the real world is to call their attention to statistical charts in newspapers and magazines and talk with them about what the charts show and why this information is important. Fraction Action Grades 2 3 In introducing children to the concept of fractions numbers that aren t whole numbers (such as 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4) it s often a good idea to use objects that they can see and touch. Large clear container (holding at least 2 cups) Masking tape Marker Measuring cups (1/2, 1/3 or 1/4 cup measure) Unpopped popcorn Invite your child to help you make popcorn for the family. Begin by having her put a piece of masking tape from top to bottom on one side of the large container. For younger children, use a 1/2 cup measure. For older children, use a 1/3 or 1/4 cup measure. Choose the unit of measure and fill the measuring cup with popcorn. Give the cup to your child and ask her questions such as the following: How many whole cups do you think the container will hold? How many 1/2 cups (or 1/3 cups or 1/4 cups) do you think it will hold? 24 25
17 Let your child pour the measured popcorn into the clear container. Have her continue to pour the same amount into the container until it is full. As she pours each equal amount, have her mark the level on the container by drawing a line on the tape. Then have her write the fraction, corresponding to the unit of measure on the line. After the container is full, have your child count up the total number of cup increments (1/2, 1/3 or 1/4) and compare it to her estimate from above. As you measure out the popcorn to pop, ask your child to answer questions such as the following: How many 1/2 cups equal a cup? Two cups? How many 1/4 cups equal 1/2 cup? A whole cup? Pop the corn and enjoy! Children may reasonably want to say, for example, that 1/4 cup plus 1/4 cup makes 2/4 cups. Letting them work with measuring cups or other measuring devices can let them see that 2/4 is the same as 1/2. Simply Symmetrical Grades 3 5 A shape is symmetrical if it can be cut along a straight line into two halves that are mirror images of each other. Learning about symmetry gives children a good sense of geometric principles and calls on their mathematical reasoning abilities. Shapes such as a circle, a square and a rectangle, cut from heavy paper Sheets of paper (rectangular) Pencil, marker or crayon Magazine pictures of symmetrical objects Safety scissors Glue As your child watches, show her the square that you ve made. Fold it in half and show her that the two parts are exactly alike or symmetrical. Do the same with the circle and the rectangle. Then give the shapes to your child and ask her to make the folds herself. Extend the activity by having her do the following: Find as many ways as she can to fold half of the square onto the other half. (There are four ways: two diagonals and two lines down the middle ). Do the same for the rectangle. (There are only two ways: down the middle of the long side, then down the middle of the short side. In going from a square to a rectangle, the diagonals are lost as lines of symmetry.) Do the same with the circle. (Circles can fold along any diameter. Use this discovery to introduce your child to the word diameter the length of a straight line that passes through the center of a circle). Ask her to find the center of a circle by folding it in half twice. (She ll discover that any diameter line of folding in half passes through the center of the circle, an activity that will prepare her for understanding more complicated geometry later on.) 26 27
18 Show your child a rectangular piece of paper. Ask her, What shape will you get if you fold this piece of paper in half? Have her fold the paper, then ask, Did you get a square or another rectangle? Using scissors to cut the paper, show her that a rectangle will fold to a square only if it is twice as long as it is wide. Fold a sheet of paper in half lengthwise. Have your child draw half of a circle, heart or butterfly from top to bottom along the fold on each side of the paper. Have her cut out the shapes that were drawn. Unfold the paper to see the symmetrical figure. Cut out a magazine picture of something that is symmetrical (try, for example, a basketball or a computer screen). Cut it down the center (the line of symmetry). Glue one half of the picture on the paper. Ask your child to draw the missing half. With your child, explore your house for symmetrical designs things that have equal sides. Ask your child how many she can find. Tell her to look at wallpaper, floor tiles, pictures, bedspreads and appliances. Have your child print the alphabet. Then ask her to find a letter that has only one line of symmetry only one way to be divided in half. (B has one.) Ask her to find a letter that has two lines of symmetry two ways to be divided in half. (H has two.) Ask which letters look the same when they re turned upside down? (H, I, N, O, S, X and Z.) Mathematics at the Grocery Store The grocery store is one of the best examples of a place where the ability to use mathematics is put to work in the real world. It s a great place to practice measurement and estimation and to learn about volume and quantity and their relationships to the sizes and shapes of containers geometry! One Potato, Two Potatoes Preschool Making a grocery shopping list can be both enjoyable and an opportunity to reinforce young children s number sense. List of grocery items Color pictures of grocery items cut from magazines, catalogs or advertising flyers (for example, choose pictures of different kinds of vegetables, fruit, containers of milk or juice, cans of soup, boxes of cereal and crackers, loaves of bread) Index cards (or similar-sized cards cut from heavy paper) Glue stick Small box (large enough to hold the cards) For titles of books about shapes and patterns, see the list of children s books in the Resources section at the end of this booklet
19 Put together the set of food pictures and help your child paste each picture onto a card. Then have your child sit with you as you make up a grocery shopping list. Read the list aloud to her, item by item, saying, for example, We need to buy milk. Find the picture of the milk. When the child finds the picture, have her put it in the box. Continue through the list, asking her to find pictures of such things as apples, potatoes, bread, soup and juice. When you ve finished, ask your child to tell you how many things you need to buy; then help her to count the pictures in the box. Ask your child to put all the pictures of vegetables in one group, then all the pictures of fruit in another group. (You might continue with items that are in cans, items that are in boxes and so on.) Point to one group of pictures, such as the fruit. Help her to count the number of pictures in that group. Have her do the same for other groups. Use advertising flyers or newspaper advertisements to help your child identify, classify and count items. Ask, for example, How many cans of soup are there? Whatvegetables do you see? and so forth. Ready, Set,Shop! Kindergarten Grade 1 Grocery shopping offers opportunities to let children apply a range of mathematics skills, including data collection and estimation. Pencil and paper Calculator To help your child learn about collecting data, involve him in making a shopping list for a special occasion, such as his birthday party. As you discuss what you need to buy, write out a list of grocery items. Then review the list with your child and tell him to make a check mark next to each item that you name. If you need more than one of an item, such as cartons of ice cream, tell him how many checks to make beside that item. Review the list with him and have him tell you what items and how many of each that you need to buy. Ask your child to choose something that he wants for dinner a cake, a salad, tacos. Have him check to see what ingredients you already have; then ask him to help you make a shopping list. At the grocery store, let him find each item on the list. Help him to compare 30 31
20 prices for different brands of the same items (such as boxes of cake mix) to see which items are the best buys. Ask your child questions such as, Which is cheaper, this package of two tomatoes for $1.50 or three of these tomatoes at 60 cents each? Have him estimate, then check his answer with a calculator. Have her notice which shapes stack easily. Try to find a stack of products that looks like a pyramid. Ask your child for reasons the shapes of products and packages are important to store owners. (Some shapes stack more easily than others and can save space.) Using the advertised prices in a newspaper or flyer to estimate the cost of items on a shopping list can help children sharpen their mental math and estimation abilities. Get Into Shapes Kindergarten Grade 1 Introducing children to geometric principles can be as simple as helping them recognize how different shapes are used in common settings. At the store, ask your child questions to focus her attention on the shapes that you see. Ask her to find, for example, items that have circles or triangles on them or boxes that are in the form of a cube or a rectangular solid. As you shop, point out shapes of products rolls of paper towels, unusually shaped bottles, cookie boxes shaped like houses. Talk with your child about the shapes. Ask her why she thinks products, such as paper towels and packages of napkins, come in different shapes. Clip and Save Grades 1 2 Coupons can be used to help children learn the value of money as well as to let them show off their addition and subtraction skills. Before shopping trips, review different shapes with children by pointing them out in items around the house. Encourage them to use the correct name for each shape: square, rectangle, triangle, circle, cube, cylinder and so forth. Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters Grocery store coupons Pencil and paper 32 33

Product Information
Bone Crochet Ball Toy by Dogo will win a place in your dog's heart!
Why We Love It:
Handmade with closely interlaced cotton tread, the PAWer Squeaky is designed to be flexible, durable, and improves dental health by removing deposits of calculus. 100% organic cotton crochet toys. Durable toy with natural flossing feature. Natural dyes used. Add all that with a squeaky inside means to hours of fun!
Sizing Information:
Ball measures 3" Diameter
Great!! Because it is red and it is crocheted with cotton. We have allergies and stick to cotton toys. Thank you for this. Easy to spot when we think we misplaced it.
This ball is so great for small dogs. This is our 2nd purchase
Perfect for the baby! It is organic cotton. Love it because we need to keep toys safe for the baby. She has allergies and cant just have any toy. So this is great.
For some reason, I was led into thinking that this was USA made. I did do a search on BaxterBoo.com with the keywords "USA Made" and this popped up in the search along with a few other items. It is made in China. However, this ball does not disappoint. It has kept my puppy entertained and he enjoys the squeaky part inside of it. But he isn't as crazy about it as he is with the other squeaky toys that are made in the USA. It does roll and it is washable.
Soft with great texture both my cat and small dog love!
200 % perfect!! I have looked for ever for a ball Like this. My pups love it. When it comes back in stock I'm ordered several more. It's well made.

|Re: Clarification on dependencyManagement
|Fri, 01 May 2009 00:46:15 GMT
NO, ;) , not all dependencies in the parent should be dependencies of the child, that is completely up to the child project. For example, in the parent pom you have defined the depManagement for Hibernate, Spring-MVC and commons-validator. You have different child modules: project-web, project-model and project-data. Project-web should have a dependency on spring-mvc and commons-validator, project-data on hibernate and project-model on commons-validator. You set the version numbers in the parent pom and define the exact dependencies in the child poms. Hth, Nick Stolwijk ~Java Developer~ Iprofs BV.

A retelling of Severus' first and only love, Lily Evans.
Monster- the Story of the Song
- by K. E. Kamiko
- Rating:
- Published: 2 Feb 2014
- Updated: 2 Feb 2014
- Status: Complete
The song "Monster" by Meg and Dia is one of my favorites. It's touching, morbid, and emotional. I feel like it sings a brutal truth about love- and lack thereof. It tells of the way one treats others when not treated right. It is not for the faint of heart. So I wrote a story of how it might have happened. It may be right, it may be wrong. But it's what I saw in the song. Full of hatred, love, violence, regret and pain, it's hard to read without getting teared up. But try if you will. When you aren't loved, how can you learn to love? If you never know how, who's to say you can? What if you can't?

text: The Pax Arcana is a truce between Archmages of all sorts - even including those serving the Exarchs and the Aswadim of the Abyss - in order to hinder them from shattering the whole Tapestry in an open war. The Pax Arcana forbids the changing of fundamental aspects of reality, the antagonizing of powerful beings like the True Fae, Qashmallim, the Judges of Duat or the Kerberoi and direct interference in mage politics. If a mage breaks a tenet of the Pax, other archmages will come for him and judge him accordingly to his crimes. Just as with every truce, all parties try to cheat each other in order to further their own agenda in their struggle to personal Ascension.

Defenders of the Earth is an American animated television series produced in 1986, featuring characters from three comic strips distributed by King Features Syndicate—Flash Gordon, The Phantom, and Mandrake the Magician—opposing Ming the Merciless in the year 2015. Supporting characters include their children Rick Gordon (son of Flash), Jedda Walker (daughter of the Phantom), Kshin (adopted son of Mandrake), Mandrake's assistant Lothar, and Lothar's son L.J. The show lasted for 65 episodes; there was also a short-lived comic book series published by Star Comics (an imprint of Marvel Comics), created by Gerry Conway, Ross Andru and John Romita, Sr.. The closing credits credit Rob Walsh and Tony Pastor for the main title music, and Stan Lee for the lyrics. The series was later shown in reruns on the Sci Fi Channel as part of Sci Fi Cartoon Quest.
The plot begins with Flash Gordon and his son Rick escaping from Ming the Merciless, who has exhausted all the natural resources of his home planet Mongo and desires to exploit Earth. Ming captures Flash's wife Dale Arden and tries to brainwash her, but she resists to the point of death; whereafter her psyche is later included in the Defenders' supercomputer 'Dynac X'.

FZ200 - Three Cameras in one!
OK, OK, cheesy headline, but bear with me while I explain....
I shoot with a Pentax DSLR (K200D) which has a maximum usable (IMHO) ISO of 400 before noise starts to be really evident. I have had this camera since new, and I love it dearly, BUT I don't like the bulk, the money I have tied up in its lenses, and the whole "more gear is better" DSLR ethos.
I shoot for pleasure, and lately there wasn't any, what with carrying round a large number of lenses, a tripod, lusting after even more and faster lenses, a better camera body which would trigger the lust for more and faster lenses etc.
So I took stock. What did I want to do with my photography?
1. Take pictures of the world around me - insects, plants people, buildings, scenes and panoramas - in short anything I thought was photoworthy.
2. Be creative in the way I post-process for entry into local competitions.
3. Learn to take video.
So I looked around for a camera to fit those needs, and superrzooms filled the bill. The FZ150 was my first choice, with the SX40 next...
Then came the FZ200 announcement, and I was sold - f2.8 through to 600mm, RAW and video.
So I now have an FZ200.
I was not impressed when the first one I got developed blue lines diagonally across the viewfinder and had to go back, but my current unit is working fine (fingers crossed it stays that way).
I was not impressed by the seeming lack of quality in a lot of the images I was getting.
I was not impressed by the build quality (Pentax DSLR's are built like tanks!)
That was then, this is now.
Spurred on by the posters in this forum and Flickr sets, I knew the camera could deliver, so the problem must be me - and it was.
I was shooting jpegs at F2.8, 1/15sec at 600mm and expecting superb results.
I knew better than that from my DSLR days.
Now, I shoot the way I shot with my DSLR - paying proper attention to all aspects of the shot, and guess what? My "keeper" rate is getting up to 80% from a lowly 40-50%.
So here is what I shoot with now:
1. A camera capable of shooting macro, portraits, architecture, landscapes, sports/action and studio shots at f2.8 (if needed), with a usable ISO of 400 (no change from the DSLR ISO)
2. A camera that shoots RAW, which is a necessity for serious PP for competitions.
3. A video camera that can do full HD and slow-mo.
4. As a bonus, if I want to spend time learning it, a serious quality jpeg engine as well.
And all in one package that was financed by the sale of one lens from the DSLR system.
If you are still with me this far in, then I thank you for your time, and if you are a prospective FZ200 owner, than I hope I have shown you that the FZ200 learning curve is steep, but ultimately satisfying.
Shane, who is about to try to recover some more of the investment in his DSLR kit.
