This came across my desk yesterday I wanted to get your reaction. Thoughts? :-)
Given the impending shortage of IPv4 addresses, Silver Peak Systems is expecting to announce this week the AX series WAN optimizer, the only WAN optimizer capable of optimizing and tunneling IPv6 over the Avian-over-IP (AVoIP, RFC 1149 and RFC 2549).
For years, organizations have sought a solution to extend corporate networks to remote offices. The advent of IPv6 introduces a new twist as IT must connect the v6 islands within the remote offices back to the corporate network. The new AX series of WAN optimizers from Silver Peak enables organizations to solve that problem by tunneling IPv6 over an optimized, 1149 network, while improving network performance by more than 30x.
RFC 1149 describes an affordable, low-altitude, point-to-point network that dramatically extends the reach of IP-based networks by leveraging the 3D ether space available to the carriers versus the 1D ether space available to conventional networks.
Testing has shown that 1149-based networks are not only less expensive than comparable ADSL networks, but significantly faster. A trial within South Africa, attempted to transfer a four gigabyte file across 60 kilometers over an 1149 network based on the "Winston" carrier and an ADSL network. The 1149 network completed the file transfer with just 4 percent of the file transferring over the ADSL network. A 1149-compliant network will also cost much less than ADSL - between $200 and $800 to implement (including all deployment costs). Comparable ADSL networks run 50 times more when factoring in deployment costs.
However, RFC 1149 networks have seen limited deployments within the US data centers. In large part, that's because the carriers used in 1149 are better suited towards temperate climates. Protocol performance in North America is closer to Northern Europe, where testing has showed 1149 networks suffer from low throughput (only nine packets of data), very high packet loss (55 percent ), and high latency (response time ranging from 3000 seconds (~54 minutes) to over 6000 seconds (~1.77 hours).
Performance characteristics such as those have limited enterprise use of 1149. Birds 'R Us a leading provider of bird feed, has for years tried deploy an 1149-based network to connect its 56 offices in the islands off the coast of Brooklyn, New York. "We've even employed psychoactive-additive feed to stimulate faster carrier response times with little luck, says John Robin, IT director of Birds 'R Us, a leading provider of bird feed. "
Silver Peak solved 1149 performance problems by adapting Silver Peak's Virtual Acceleration Open Architecture (VXOA) to the protocol's unique challenges. With VXOA, any hardware platform capable of running a leading hypervisor can be turned into a data center-class WAN optimizers. VXOA's three technologies address the core challenges undermining 1149 networks:
Network Acceleration – Using a variety of TCP and other protocol acceleration techniques, VXOA-based WAN optimizers minimize the effects of latency on application performance and significantly improve application response time across the WAN. Optimizations include adjusting window sizing by tying three pigeon carriers together, selective acknowledgements to save the poor pigeons from having to fly twice to deliver a single message, and HigherSpeed TCP, which adds outboard motors to the pigeons to give them a 14 Pigeonpower boost.
Network Integrity – For the sake of all newly washed cars, Silver Peak's Network Integrity eliminates much of the packet loss endemic to RFC 1149 networks in real time. Silver Peak does this by adding a CRC unit to the DNA string of each carrier pigeon. In the event one carrier is lost or dies, the pigeon can be resurrected from the information contained in the DNA of the other carries. Silver Peak's patented Zombie Protection prevents the previously dead pigeons from attacking the network and the world. The AX series is fully RFC 2549 compliant and enforces all QOS settings though some carriers may be deemed more important than others.
Network Memory – Conventional 1149 networks are limited to young carriers due to the MTU's weight. Network Memory removes these restrictions by deduplicating the data stream at the byte level. Advanced claw printing techniques recognizes repetitive patterns for local delivery across all IP-based protocols including TCP, UDP, and RTP. This not only improves network throughput, but lightens the load for older, weaker carriers to be used in the network, further lowering deployment costs.
Silver Peak implements VXOA for 1149 as the AX series of virtualized WAN optimizers. The AX series comes in three models:
- AX-Xpress is Silver Peaks' free, downloadable AX offering. It supports up to 8000 connections and two lbs of data. The AX-X is Silver Peak's contribution to the 1149 community and intended to help grow the 1149 protocol. As such, it is currently not supported by the Silver Peak, but support may be found in the community for Silver Peak's other free WAN optimizer, the VX-Xpress, and the rest of Silver Peak's downloadable optimizers.
- AX-1000 is Silver Peak's branch office WAN optimizer. The AX-1000 supports up to 8000 connections and two lbs of optimized data. Real time AES bird encryption is used to protect the data at rest and IPSec-A is used scramble the bird's brain to ensure maximum security. (IPSec-A is Silver Peak enhancement to the IPSec standard.)
- AX-5000 is Silver Peak's datacenter appliance. The AX-5000 supports up to 64,000 connections and four lbs of optimized data. Real time AES bird encryption is also used to protect the data at rest and IPSec-A is used to protect data in transit.
All models can be deployed inline or out-of-line using the VRRP or WCCP. Fault tolerant (1:1 and N+1) configurations are supported.Together, the three technologies revolutionized the Birds 'R Us network. "The 1149 protocol offered us a solution but require nearly three and half hours (430 minutes) to replicate the data. With Silver Peak's AX WAN optimizers, we were able to replicate the data in just 15 minutes, a 97 percent improvement."
Pricing and Availability
Pricing on the AX series starts at $800 depending on model and configuration. The price includes 14 lbs of carrier feed and two months of training. The products are currently available.
Note all pigeons used in the testing of the AX series were clay pigeons in compliance with the standards set by the Royal Social for the Protection of Birds. Silver Peak does not condone the use or testing of live animals.

Would we get better performace if we used swallows?
I would then like to see the results based on if it was an African or European Swallow.
My money is on the European swallow.

Nice! That reminds me, I totally forgot to look up the April Fools RFCs. There are two new ones this year:
Anyone have any null packets on their networks?

Brand Representative for Silver Peak Systems
Excellent suggestion. However, Swallows are a non-standard implementation of RFC 1149, which may be offered by some of our non-competitors. Silver Peak being a standards-based company has only implemented pigeons with the AX.
However, some early lab tests did consider Swallow usage. We found that their dropping capacity did not conform with US standards (hence the term "European Swallow").
I understand the interest in the area and will be happy to discuss further with our engineering team to see if we would support non-standard addition to our product set. How do you see using the swallow in your network? :-)

Yes, yes, Voice over Carrier Pigeon is bound to take off. The biggest challenge will be the packet loss issue, which undermines voice communications. Silver Peak's Network Integrity technology corrects for packet loss really well, but even I might have my doubts here :-)

If you get a AVoIP DDOS attack, you can fight back with a 12ga. Yet another reason I need more ammo.
Apr 4, 2012 at 2:51 UTC
I would think IP over Carrier Pidgeon, as they've already been trained with the needed skills for delivering messages in any situation, but for voice, I would think you would do better with myna's. Of course, african parrots and crows for intelligence ops...
yeah, I could see one cat really screwing up your network PDQ

A MAN in Western Sydney has found a horses head on the bonnet of his car, mimicking a scene from 1970s film The Godfather.
He told police he was woken up by loud banging noises outside his Naomi St home in Winston Hills at about 2.30am.
When he went outside to investigate, he found the severed head lying on the bonnet of his car, which was left badly damaged.
Police found a trail of blood leading down the man's driveway and believe the head may have been stolen from an abattoir.
The horse's head has now been disposed of and investigations are continuing.

Population ecology—the science of what makes animal and plant populations change, persist, or go extinct—is the most theoretical and mathematical of all ecological disciplines, yet it yields a huge number of practical benefits. When conservation agencies wish to protect a threatened species, but are up against a tight budget and real-world logistical constraints, they use population models to tell them how large an area to reserve and how it should be connected to other habitats, so as to minimise the species' risk of extinction. In short, population ecology tells us how to get the best "bang for our buck" [1]. Similarly, fishery managers face the perennial issue of determining how heavily they can exploit a fluctuating fish stock without over-harvesting and causing a crash (or extinction). Again, population models, of various complexities, provide guidance in setting fishing quotas and no-take areas [2].
The balance that must always be struck is model complexity. If population models are too simple, they risk overlooking key biological features and therefore giving biased predictions. Conversely, if they are too complex, it becomes difficult or impossible to reliably estimate the value of model components (parameters). For instance, the most fundamental "law" in population ecology states that changes in the size of populations are determined by the balance of birth rates, death rates, immigration, and emigration. Further abstractions can yield exponential growth models, doubling times and estimates of per-generational change, while additional complications might include demographic and environmental fluctuations, age structure, and a self-reinforcing population decline as a population approaches extinction [3]. Do these simplifications or complications matter when it comes to the practical business of threatened species conservation, pest control, or the setting of harvest quotas [2]?
One area where this question makes a big difference is in the "regulation" of populations. Why don't populations simply grow forever, and what stops an inevitable crash to extinction once they start to decline [4]? A simple assumption is that environmental fluctuations, driven by weather or predators, act to control population dynamics. A more complex model might reflect a limited supply of resources, such as food or living space, so that populations expand when few individuals are seeking access to shared resources and decline when competition among individuals for diminishing resources occurs at high densities. In the former case, a population can become extinct by chance, if its environment is highly variable or if it happens to suffer a few bad years in a row. In the latter case, a population is inherently more resilient, because populations tend to rebound from low densities. The relative importance of a random environment versus resource competition will strongly dictate whether a rare species persists, or the degree to which a game species or fishery can tolerate a harvest and still replace itself [4].
But what if neither of these assumptions is reasonable? It is easy enough to imagine situations in which low densities just make things progressively worse. This effect may be due to generic impacts like inbreeding or limitations on the availability of mates due to geographic dispersion, or species-specific traits such as the breakdown of anti-predator herd guarding or the failure of male bird breeding arenas (called leks) to attract females if they are too small. Such problems, where low numbers of individuals in a population leads to a self-perpetuating loss of demographic, genetic, or ecological fitness, are called "Allee effects". This issue, and its rich ecological, evolutionary, and practical conservation implications, are explored in a new book by Franck Courchamp, Lud k Berec, and Joanna Gascoigne called Allee Effects in Ecology and Conservation [3].
The book spends a few chapters considering the historical and theoretical roots of the Allee effect (the study of which was instigated by behavioural biologist Warder C. Allee in the 1930s). It then leads naturally to a description, replete with examples, of the many behavioural, genetic, demographic, or ecological mechanisms, some described above, that have been shown to lead to "inverse density dependence" or "depensation" (as Allee effects are alternatively called in the entomological and fisheries literature, although these terms embody exactly the same concept). Some interesting real-world applications the authors describe in detail include: (1) the importance of incorporating Allee effects in population viability analysis (extinction-risk simulation models), and the insights gained by treating fisheries' exploitation of Norwegian herring as predation; (2) the way in which Allee effects can guide suppression of pest species (there is an optimum eradication threshold that most effectively minimises the likelihood of an outbreak for each dollar spent on control); (3) the reason for the regular failure of biological control measures (too few propagules of the control organism tend to be introduced); and (4) the stunning economic Allee effect whereby poachers or collectors place ever-greater value on attractive species as they are plundered and become rarer—the allure of the few [5].
The important mathematical architecture required to actually include Allee effects in population models is well-covered and clearly explained, but deliberately restricted to a single chapter. The stated intention was to make the other five chapters more accessible to a broad, non-technical readership. This works on one level, but it forced me to flip regularly back and forth through the book when reading the later chapters on genetics, evolution, conservation, and management as I tried to link the "hard-core theory" back to the concepts and examples (described above). The weakest section of the book was the description of the methods applied to detect Allee effects using empirical data—model fitting, observations of fitness, and time series of population size. The two case studies given here, on the Atlantic grand banks fisheries and invading gypsy moths in the north-eastern United States, failed to satisfactorily work through the technical stages of statistical fitting, interpretation, and model selection that must be used to decide on the strength of evidence for Allee effects. The authors do hint that this area is poorly developed in the literature, and I suspect they are right—this is a topic ripe for more research. But a clear, step-by-step illustration would have helped greatly.
I should add that the book is delightfully engaging to read. The authors write in a relaxed, almost mischievous style, which had the effect of making me feel like I was deliberating these topics with the authors over our beverage of choice rather than cogitating a dry tome in quiet isolation. This does not detract from the academic quality of the product—they present a strong mix of experimental, mensurative, and theoretically oriented mathematical examples. But their enthusiasm for the topic is infectious, which means the book is one of those rare ecology texts that can be enjoyably read, quickly, from cover to cover. It should also be of interest to non-ecologists, because a real effort is made to connect the broader concept of Allee effects to other sciences, including the study of human social behaviour. As the authors illustrate in their tongue-in-cheek foreword, a decision to attend a party might depend on whether your friends are going—but of course if everyone thinks this way, no one ends up attending for fear of being the only one! Other more serious examples include the breakdown and eventual collapse of rural societies after the relocation of a critical level of essential infrastructure in small towns to cities by centralised governments for administrative convenience, or the "extinction" of local languages as "invasive species" like English become more pervasive, causing native speakers to become rarer and making these languages less attractive or useful to learn.
But getting back to ecological implications of Allee effects, most population models used for wildlife management have, to date, tended to ignore them—probably because in most cases managers have had no information on how these effects may operate, or how important they are likely to be. Yet the clear take-home message from the comprehensive overview provided by Allee Effects in Ecology and Conservation [3] is that it is no longer tenable to dismiss Allee effects as an optional, "bolt-on" issue. Indeed, the authors of the book advocate quite the opposite—Allee effects are nearly ubiquitous, and almost any species one could envisage is likely to experience Allee effects at some time or place. The real challenge ahead is for enough studies to emerge to allow firm rules of thumb to be developed—generalisations on the circumstances under which Allee effects are most or least important in determining population viability and extinction risk. This is the sort of information and examples that conservation practitioners really need to know about, if they are to be convinced that Allee effects should be built into the models they use to manage real-world populations. With their new book, Courchamp, Berec, and Gascoigne provide a broad intellectual grounding and literature review upon which the future study and application of Allee effects, in all their varied guises, is sure to flourish.

So I've been bullied all through primary school and some years in high school, and it was always the same insult 'ugly' over and over again... no one liked me and I didn't have any friends. in my 3rd year of High School I got some really great friends and they helped me quite a bit, and that summer puberty kicked in suddenly making me attractive (that's what people've said). After that a lot of guys started having crushes on me, I got a new job and even there a lot of guys had crushes on me and started flirting with me, and now in college most guys in my class have a crush on me.
But I'm still convinced I'm extremely ugly to the point where I'll almost apologize to people for being in the same room as me, I do have friends but I'm afraid they'll leave me because I feel like I just don't fit in with how pretty they are.
I have days where I'll look in the mirror and I'm like 'damn..' but it disappears as soon as I have to be around other people.
And I don't know what to do about this? I'd love to be confident and happy and social etc.
Most Helpful Guy

Most Helpful Girl
I know exactly how you feel. My story is similar, except it wasn't peers calling me ugly, but my mom, comparing me to my beautiful older sister. I had almost exactly the same experience, where when I turned 12, 13, I started getting a lot of male attention. And by the time I turned 16-18 all guys around me were attracted to me. But it took me a long time to really accept out that they were genuinely attracted to me. I couldn't believe any guy could look at me in that way, cos I believed deep down I was ugly.
I am 31 now, I still get male attention. But unfortunately this insecurity about my looks never went away. I shy away from taking photographs. I have to mentally steel myself to do it. And I am overly critical about my looks. Even now when a man compliments me, I can't help feeling surprised.
So yeah, I think when the damage is done to you at a young age, the insecurity never goes away. I have read of studies that proved this too. However I think it has gotten slightly better, mainly I think because of a few relationships where the man has told me over and over that I am beautiful.
I think what's important is to surround yourself with people who love you and say nice things about you. Keep people who criticize your looks out of your life.
Lastly I would say, look at this as a blessing. Girls who have always known they are beautiful or falsely believe themselves to be so, (cos of parents or others drilling into their heads) tend to be a bit arrogant. They don't appreciate it when people compliment them, they take it for granted. While those who deep down don't believe ourselves to be pretty, get told we are beautiful, we are very appreciative and grateful. Guys like that quality...00|00|0

Berlin Christmas Market Attack Again Shows Why Gun Control Is Not The Answer To Terrorism
Since the Twin Towers fell and the Pentagon was struck fifteen years ago, the United States has lived in fear of the global terrorist threat. As a result of the rise of militant extremism, former President George W. Bush launched the War on Terrorism to combat this threat. Despite this, terrorism, if anything, has grown worse. Across Europe, and even a few times in the United States, terrorists have struck. As the threat of terrorism remains prominent, how do we tackle this issue? The answer sometimes is hard to find, because the mainstream political discussion gets diverted by focus on the implements of terror and then hijacked by the gun control lobby. After the shooting in San Bernardino, California, many liberal partisans and members of the gun control lobby called for strengthening of gun laws. The problem there was that gun control was already strong in California, thanks to it being a strong Democratic state. Keep Reading

Creating a new page? Perhaps we already have a template for it. Check Here.
There are several miscellaneous activities that still need to be completed. many of these tasks involve categorizing items and objects into their respective categories, but some tasks are more serious, such as rewriting and documenting several new mechanics of the game, such as an in depth guide on Satiations, FEP variability, Combat, and Combat Discoveries, etc.
Generally Speaking, the most important pages are the pages found on the home page of this wiki. Many of these, however, are very outdated or simply not descriptive enough to warrant good information. (See: Survive animal attacks)
An example of a high quality, detailed guide is the Character Creation guide (someone needs to update it with character customization however).
Beyond simply making better guides, there are a handful of pages of objects and items which still redirect to legacy pages or have legacy images, icons, info. several endgame and labor intensive industries are also poorly documented, such as animal farming and cheesemaking. I would the problem lies everyone who visits the wiki cant participate in these tasks due to inexperience and everyone who can no longer uses the wiki.

DIY Bridal Shower Heart Toppers
When customizing a bridal shower, it's always important to pay close attention to detail. Dress up your appetizers with these adorable heart-shaped food picks!
When customizing a bridal shower, it's always important to pay close attention to detail. Dress up your appetizers with these adorable heart-shaped food picks!
While you can certainly order or purchase premade party decorations or favors, we're always looking for DIY ideas that keep costs down and also add a personal touch to the party.
It doesn't get much easier or simpler than DIY food toppers. You've seen the fancy and expensive baubles in stores, packaged with just 8 pieces when you need more like 50, but did you ever think of making your own?
I wanted to dress up my mini bridal shower bites as well as hold them together so I made heart shaped food picks. The heart shape is a universal one that can be used in any bridal theme party - just customize the color or pattern for the paper you use to fit with your particular bridal shower theme.
This same technique can also be used with other shapes as well!
- Scrapbook paper
- Scissors or heart shaped craft punch
- Toothpicks
- Tape
I cut these paper heart toppers out the old-fashioned way by folding the paper lengthwise and drawing half the heart shape along the crease line, but if you've got a lot of these to make, consider investing in a heart-shaped paper puncher. It may run you $10 - $15, but it'll be worth it just for these toppers and you can also use it to embellish your bridal shower with more DIY paper heart decorations.
To do this the old-fashioned way, though cut out the heart shapes so when you open up the crease you have a symmetrical heart.
Then, once you have your heart shapes, place a toothpick on the back side of the heart and tape or glue it to the paper. Insert into your party bites and that's it!

by Harold Friend
On July 29, 1951, the Brooklyn Dodgers were in the midst of a ten game winning streak. They led the second place Giants by 9 games. John Drebinger, the award winning baseball writer who started his career in 1923 with the Staten Island Advance and later joined the New York Times, wrote a fascinating column about Charlie Dressen, the manager many have held responsible for Brooklyn's demise.
Dressen Wished He Could Maneuver
Tongue in cheek, Drebinger related how boring it must have been for Dressen to be in charge of a team that went out and beat the opposition almost every day. Dressen loved to over manage. He loved to move players around, switch his batting order, use the double switch, bring in a relief pitcher or two or three, and match wits with Leo Durocher and Casey Stengel. Drebinger related how Dressen wrote in the names of his eight starting players and let them play. Dressen was going crazy on the bench. He didn't have to put on the sacrifice, he didn't have to call the hit and run, and he didn't have to make late inning defensive switches. Brooklyn kept on winning.
Brooklyn Will Win By Twenty
Drebinger wrote "And so the Dodgers roll on. Eight games in front. Nine. Ten. Soon it will be fifteen and by October it likely will be twenty. And if you peer a little closer you'll note that those Dodgers, rocketing off into space, not only are running away with the pennant but with their manager as well. What is more, he isn't enjoying the ride one bit. He'd give anything to be able to give his craft a few twists, dips and spins. But the instrument is set and there is nothing that he or anyone else can do about it!"
Take Nothing For Granted
Even the most knowledgeable, the most experienced, and the most intelligent among us often forget that it folly to predict. Dressen, much to the chagrin of Brooklyn fans, was given ample opportunities in the last seven weeks of the season to give his craft a few twists, dips, and spins, but to no avail. One can never can anything for granted. Certainly there are instances when we must take things for granted. When you put your foot on the brake pedal, you take for granted that the brakes will work, but in the deep recesses of your mind, you must always have an alternative plan if this will be the one time that they don't work.
Even the Best Are Human
Not many individuals thought that Brooklyn would not win the 1951 pennant, at least not on July 29. John Drebinger received the J.G. Taylor Spink Award from the Hall of Fame in 1973 for outstanding contributions to baseball. He was one of the greatest of all baseball writers, but he was human. He reported what he saw when he wrote about Charlie Dressen and the Brooklyn Dodgers. The conclusions he drew in his column were logical, but logic isn't always accurate.

South Makassar Basin - Indonesia - 2006
South Makassar Basin 2D
The survey provides 7 138 line km of high quality seismic data over the South Makassar Basin
The survey was designed to better understand the deep seated structural lineaments and basin architecture of the unexplored South Makassar Basin.
The data confirms the presence of a large number of structural plays, where Oligocene carbonates, as well as Eocene – Early Oligocene clastics deposited over the basement highs represent potential reservoirs. There is also a younger Oligocene-Early Miocene turbidite Play.
The survey was acquired using an 8 km streamer with recording of lines to 9 and 12 secs. The dataset has been merged to form part of the East Java Makassar Muara MegaProject.

Tiger is one ugly dog!
I love this episode because it is all about Jan. I think Jan is a really pretty girl and in the early episodes is a lot prettier than Marcia.
Lucky for the boys it wasn't Tiger that Jan was allergic to but the flea powder! I think they would have been heart broken ... and Alice and Mike.
But what ever happened to the girls cat fluffy? I can only assume that the cat was left with Carols parents after she moved in with Mike. I also assume that Carol and the girls may have lived with her parents before the wedding???
I would love to know more about their pasts

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
what exactly is this?
Based on your extremely scant information, this is the only reference I could locate.
Sec. 12.44. REDUCTION OF STATE JAIL FELONY PUNISHMENT TO MISDEMEANOR PUNISHMENT. (a) A court may punish a defendant who is convicted of a state jail felony by imposing the confinement permissible as punishment for a Class A misdemeanor if, after considering the gravity and circumstances of the felony committed and the history, character, and rehabilitative needs of the defendant, the court finds that such punishment would best serve the ends of justice.
Good luck.
Since I do not practice law in your State, this answer is provided solely for informational purposes only, for you to use as a starting point when speaking directly with a lawyer in your State. This answer does not constitute legal advice, create an attorney-client relationship, or constitute attorney advertising. I urge you to immediately contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer admitted to practice law in your State before you make any decisions about this case.
A 12.44(a) is the Section of the Texas Penal Code that allows a judge to sentence a person convicted of a state jail felony to the punishment of a Class A misdemeanor "if, after considering the gravity and circumstances of the felony committed and the history, character, and rehabilitative needs of the defendant, the court finds that such punishment would best serve the ends of justice." What that means is that it's up to the judge whether or not to punish the person with a maximum of 1 year in the county jail or 2 years probation OR to punish him with the state jail felony punishment which is 6 months to 2 years in state jail (with NO early release) or up to 5 years of probation.
This may seem inconsequential but think of this: time in state jail is done day for day with no good time credit. Most county jails give good time or work credit which allows people to get out much sooner than their actual sentence.
Whether and if this is available is up to the judge, but having the prosecutor agree certainly improves a person's chances of avoiding

Photos of Kate Moss Performing at Charity Event in London
Kate Moss Turns It Up to 11 on Charity Stage in London
Kate Moss hit the stage with panache last night as she performed for the crowd at the Hoping's Got Talent fundraiser in London. The supermodel was decked out in black as she headed home after vacation in Nice with Jamie Hince and Lily Allen yesterday, well rested before writhing on stage accompanied by Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour. Her man Jamie Hince also showcased his talents while Lily Allen sang. The event benefited Palestinian refugees, and it looks like the attendees including Sienna Miller, Sadie Frost, Guy Ritchie, and more got more than their money's worth. Amazingly, Kate Moss was such a blossoming rock star that she was up and at 'em today for Sadie's birthday lunch.

Report summary
Singapore Wholesale Electricity Prices have slumped to operating cost levels at around S$80/MWh. The wholesale price may end up even lower once the Tuaspring plant comes on line by the end of 2015. This therefore raises doubts over the sustainability of the new entrants. Sporadic price spikes since April have offered occasional relief for some companies as it has raised average prices. However this is temporary as it was triggered by unplanned outages of some power plants.

Full Colour Printing in Chesterfield
Chesterfield, in Derbyshire, is a place which has a range of accommodation for businesses. From retail parks such as The Pavements Shopping Centre to high-tech business parks like Tapton Park, there is a venue for every different type of company. There is also a range of markets such as the flea and farmers market.
For any business choosing premises here, it is vital that they inform their patrons of a change of address or expansion into additional sites. By using full colour printing in Chesterfield a business can create the information which will inform customers of their whereabouts.
Using full colour printing in Chesterfield is essential in order to develop paperwork which contains accurate and detailed maps and directions to business locations. These printed leaflets can be used to show diagrams and street plans to easily guide customers to the exact location. Quality printing is also important to create true representations of the products being sold. Although cheaply produced leaflets and catalogues can contain important information, using full colour printing allows more detail and photographic images to be shown.
For some printed materials, such as brochures and catalogues, using full colour printing in Chesterfield is important to show customers a true image of your products and services.

Way I understand how the "Watch" works is that a user will get an email initially of a new thread or post to their thread .. but they will not continue to receive alerts/emails unless they view the thread correct ?
In my scenario .. I need to alert/email even if they havent visited the thread ... Is that possible ?

Re: Quality of work
- Many times the age of the student has a lot to do with the quality
too. I teach 8th and 9th graders and they are all about instant
satisfaction. I really have to stress the importance of neatness and
craftsmanship to them especially the guys. They come to us from the
middle school where they have art once a week but do NOT receive a
grade for their work, an enrichment class, so they think they have to
rush to get things finished. It takes me several months to get
through to them and some never get it. I use the following grading
20 points each:
following directins
working to potential
staying on task
turning in on time(if turned in late due to wasting time 20 points
(if absent or a meticulous worker I still count off for lateness but
adjust accordingly)

- YES!I am having trouble with my son's grammar in the movies & animations and even labeled drawings that he is making. Some of his art is very sloppy too- I KNOW he can do better.Some of it, I think, will have to come as he gets more comfortable with his technical & fine motor skills, but the rest I think is going to have to come from my insistence and nagging.The thing that I think is important though, for both of us, is that he doesn't let sloppiness become a habit.-K.

I have noticed that my students work doesn't have the quality or

Subject: [art_education] Re:Quality of work
sometimes it can certainly be discouraging. ..
Teaching K-12 you see ages of kids and classes where one group working hard
will seem in a couple years to apparently care less. Talking to the
classroom/homeroom teacher sometimes helps you beat up on yourself a bit
less. Sometimes developing interests in boy/girl things are going
on...sports, the playground, at home.
I think life offers many distractions and confusing messages, and we compete
with McWorld to place emphasis that something can matter so much as to
mandate our attention.
I push...I mentor by example as an artist...but I am also human, and have
been discouraged of late for other reasons.
I saw from CBS news this past week that statistically right now 1 out of 32
adults in America is in prison, on parole, or probation. Then we ended the
week with an inservice on "Carefrontation" ...one more strategy on getting a
handle on classroom management. We see things that are falling apart in
society, but are as teachers expected to fix in the classroom.
Its about caring, and getting kids to care...but I see two problems...both
can be put forth by acronyms...
one is...
"kids don't care what you know until they know you care"
and two...
"the heart of the problem, is the problem of the heart"
I see that the growing "Golden Rule" today for many teens is- "its not
wrong if you don't get caught"
Society seems to reward this idea. Parents are role modeling it...and
somewhere in there we are attempting to put emphasis that bringing a right
attitude (or the one we want) is important when its art making time. The
rest of the world is going many different directions, "H__ in a hand basket"
as they say...but in my room...HERE is what matters!!!
It is frustrating isn't it!
Kids that ask if they can do the simplest easiest thing to do...("will this
be easy?") and my response which throws them off guard is...."yeah. ..you're
right, too easy! I wouldn't do it either!" or...in wanting to be done with
a work..."Is this good enough?" and I respond, "sure...no problem. Here is
your grade." to their..."Whhhaaaaaa t? ...you're giving me a D grade?"
....and I then end with, "sure, isn't a D...(pause for emphasis) GOOD
Hang in there...model excellence. Find joy in those students that are
demonstrating growth, positive change. Keep at it!
- When I first started teaching, over thirty years ago, the students were doing some mediocre work and Iwould try to push them...but to no avail. Well I had nine weeks classesand a couple of groups of all year classes. At the New Year, maybe I'm a slow learner, new kids came anad just wowed me with their work and work ethic. My expectations had been too low! I thought, "poor babies, this is just the best they can do!" After one project everyone improved tremendously! I felt so bad for letting them slide!Becky
- I have that problem as well with students rushing to get done. A blessed few will give you a little of what you are looking for. Some students take art only because it is required and it is a challenge to get them really involved. When I did an activity on creating their own comic book for the 5th 6th & 7th grade students showed a lot of interest.Edna J. Patterson-Petty
When words are too deep, try art therapy
- Rubics, Rubrics,Rubrics; you can find many through this site and its links. Make them read them and make decisions on their own (you don't have to agree). It takes a whole bunch of time but it's worthwhile. You'll usually find that they are much harder on themselves than you'll ever be.Another option is to work on a point system rather than a letter grade. A 2 out of 10 is a lot worse than an "F", the key is to allow them to redo the assignment on ther own time to raise their grade.Terry

Logic on form not working, yet it is working on another form? - RESOLVEDAsked by AA_C on January 16, 2016 at 01:12 PM
On these two forms in the section Rulebook Request I have 4 options.
The first 3 options have a value of 1 last value 0.
The value is then inserted into the Number of books requested field.
The logic is working on the English form but not the French.
The logic I have on both forms is slightly different and I'm thinking perhaps there is a logic race on the French form or an error. Could you please help sort it out.

Thank you

Thank you for contacting us.
I checked your forms and I can see both are working with the conditions for the first three options that you have on them.

We will wait for your response.

I've been asked to do a Crown Cake for a colleague's father.
I intend to buy the Wilton Pan.
Can i please ask how much does this cake weigh? How much should I price this cake?
Or is there a way to do the crown cake without getting the pan?
Your help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
If you could be a little more specific, perhaps someone can help you.
Which crown pan? Wilton makes a tiara pan ...is this the one you mean?
That's a flat cake, not 3D. If that's the one, you could bake a large sheet cake and cut the crown/tiara out of it. If it's some other crown shaped pan, I have no idea, sorry.
Its the princess crown pan.

World champions Germany laboured to a 4-0 win over Gibraltar in qualifying for soccer's Euro 2016 on Friday, as Cristiano Ronaldo became the tournament's all-time leading scorer and Scotland edged the Republic of Ireland 1-0.
Elsewhere, 2004 champions Greece were humiliated 1-0 by part-timers, the Faroe Islands, to pile pressure on home coach Claudio Ranieri whose team have lost their past four home games.
In Nuremburg, Thomas Mueller scored twice with Mario Goetze adding a third for Germany before Gibraltar defender Yogan Santos put through an own-goal.
The win lifted Joachim Loew's World Cup winners into third spot in Group D but the anticipated goal bonanza against a side who had conceded 17 in their first three games failed to materialise.
Germany missed the chance to finish 2014 second on the table and their unconvincing display drew some boos and jeers at the final whistle.
"We would have liked a better result, but it's not easy when a team stands as deep as Gibraltar did," said Goetze.
"We could have created more goals and played more convincingly, which we have to put our hands up to."
Poland have a three-point lead over Ireland, Germany and Scotland, maintaining their undefeated start with a convincing 4-0 win over Georgia in Tbilisi.
After hitting the woodwork twice in the opening half, Poland breezed home after the break with goals from Kamil Glik, Grzegorz Krychowiak, Sebastian Mila and Arkadiusz Milik.
