So what's the point? Parents are sacrificing their lives to raise healthy young adults who will then use their labor to make Burger King, the sex industry, the military, or the government rich, all while the parents have to scramble around and try and figure out how they are going to retire.
Edit: What needs to happen is the elimination of compulsorily education and children need to start working in their respective field at young ages because they can do it. For example, I believe that a 15 year old should be able to get a job at a hospital and apprentice with the head doctor (this is how it was done in the past). In doing so, a child can learn to take care of itself much earlier in life, and be able to contribute his or her immediate family.
I just remembered this silly thing:

Music teachers, if you're like me - you have to teach recorders at some point in your curriculum. It takes a lot of time and patience, but it can be a wonderful learning experience for students. As many of us, I use Music K-8's Recorder Karate framework for music learning. The premise behind the book is that as students master skills, they earn belts for their recorder. Great, right? Yeah, until you have to put a belt on that recorder! For years, I used ribbon carefully cut in 6 inch strips in all nine colors. The students would tie their belt on the recorder and hope and pray it didn't fall off! This year, I had an epiphany! You know those ever-so-popular Rainbow Looms? You know them - look at every second grader in your school (those rubber band bracelets and necklaces). Why not use the bands from the Rainbow Loom for Recorder Karate belts? Love it! I purchased each color (still searching for brown - they make it but my craft store didn't have it in stock) as well as a little case to keep them organized.
As students play and earn a belt, they slide their belt onto the bottom of their recorder.
No more cutting little strips of ribbon, no more tying knots for students. I think this is my favorite idea this year! And if your looking for some other new ideas for your students - please check out my Recorder Karate Page on my students' website. There are fabulous resources for students and teachers alike. I also have an entire Recorder Movie page with videos posted on TeacherTube. And if you are a Leader in Me School like my school, check out my Recorder Karate Goal sheet on TeachersPayTeachers. It's FREE! It's a fabulous tool to guide students to set goals for themselves as they are learning the recorder. What other great recorder tips do you have for teachers?

MIAMI - A funeral will take place Monday for a 10-year-old boy who was shot and killed last Friday at a nail salon.
Services for Aaron Vu will begin this Sunday with visitation from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Northwest Baptist Church on Northwest 136th Street and 9th Avenue in Miami. The public is invited to attend.
The funeral mass will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at the St. Mark's Catholic Church on Flamingo Road in Southwest Ranches, followed by the burial at Hollywood Memorial Gardens.
Vu's mother, Lynn Vu, returned to the scene where her son was killed, first overcome with pain and sorrow, but then overwhelmed by public love and support.
"Brought a lot of comfort and solace for her," said Vu's great aunt, Thi Pham.
Police arrested and charged one of the men, 19-year-old Anthawn Ragen, who stormed into Nail Hong-Kong, but authorities said his masked partner is still on the loose.
Family and friends lifted lights and voices Friday night, hoping to blind out the sorrow, hoping to illuminate the whereabouts of the second suspect.
"Just continue to help as much as they can," said Pham.

Tweak your mobile business model. Change your name. Easily raise $8 million in venture funding.
That's the script followed by MobileMajority, a Los Angeles-based mobile advertising startup previously known as the dunderheaded-sounding PaeDae.
MobileMajority raised the $8 million Tuesday, and the startup is doing its best to leave the past behind.
READ MORE: The truth about online ads & the business of ad fraud
PaeDae initially launched as a "premium" brand mobile advertising play, but chief executive Rob Emrich told VentureBeat the company is expanding its business model to accommodate the rapidly evolving mobile space.
MobileMajority heralded its re-branding efforts this way:
The Mobile Majority will now be the only mobile advertising platform that allows brands to identify and target real consumers, validate impressions, and ensure the universal delivery of any creative campaign.
Mobile Majority is not the only one, of course. But MobileMajority has moved beyond premium brand targeting to releasing what Emrich is busy hyping as its new "AdKit" and "AdScore" platforms, which will, according to the eager chief executive, change the mobile playing field for the better.
"The current way of gauging the success of mobile ads is, right now, limited to impressions and clicks. You need to measure ads as though they were software, because mobile ads are software based," Emrich said.
Indeed, with AdKit, Emrich says his company can now validate and verify that mobile ads are being delivered where advertising and ad targeting outfits say they're placing them for clients.
This technology is much needed and crucial for successful campaigns, as plenty of brokers are placing ads where they're not supposed to be going– porn sites for example — or not placing your ads at all.
And with their AdScore platform, MobileMajority is adding a second layer to compliment AdKit by protecting brands from "mobile fraud, off-brand association, and partial ad visibility."
Alas, Emrich said the focus for MobileMajority is ushering in an era of transparency that needs to become a benchmark standard in mobile.
AdScore also makes predictions on how well the ads are actually performing.
"80 percent of ads are not being displayed or viewed. Mobile is not a small desktop, and you need to make sure ads are performing like you paid for," Emrich said.
Currently, the success or failure of mobile ads are measured by numerous attributes, including connection speeds, protocols for tracking, and propensity for fraud, which Emrich said is commonplace in the industry.
Changing your name and business is dicey at best, but Mobile Majority is convinced there's a payoff. And they may be right. Clients like State Farm, Proctor & Gamble, and 7-11 are lining up. And there's more on the way, according to Emrich.
In addition to its headquarters in Santa Monica, the startup has also opened offices in San Francisco and New York. To date, it has raised a total of $21 million. Its employees number 25.
"Companies are jumping into mobile and lots of them just don't know. We've managed to simplify the way ads are delivered in mobile advertising," Emrich said.
"And a premium brand," he said, "wants to tell a good story."

In the first decision that we have seen (see our post of 7/16/10) since the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Morrison v. National Australia Bank (No. 08-1191) held that Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 did not provide a private cause of action in "foreign-cubed" cases—cases where foreign plaintiffs sue foreign defendants for misconduct in connection with securities traded on foreign exchanges (hence "foreign cubed"), the influential District Court in the Southern District of New York, in Cedeno, et al. v. Intech Group, Inc., 09 Civ. 9716 (JSR) (S.D.N.Y. 8/25/10), held that the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968, does not apply extraterritorially, at least not to the claims asserted in the complaint in that case. Depending on how broadly this ruling is applied, it could have significant effects on international litigation.
Plaintiff, a citizen of Venezuela, alleged that he was unjustifiably imprisoned for almost three years in Venezuela and that his business, a co-plaintiff, was allegedly damaged in its business as a result. The defendants, it was claimed, acted through a RICO enterprise, which was comprised of the "[t]he foreign exchange regime of the government of Venezuela", including Venezuela's central bank. The District Court held that Morrison required it to look at the "focus" of congressional concern, which the Court found was how a pattern of racketeering affects an enterprise, and that it was not enough to allege that predicate acts of money laundering involved transfers into and out of the District by U.S. banks. The court held that RICO did not "evidence any concern with foreign enterprises", even though the predicate acts of money laundering were allegedly extraterritorial in nature.
The decision also took up briefly, and rejected, application of the act of state doctrine to bar the suit. That doctrine "prevents courts from judging the acts of a foreign state within its own territory". The court stated that that doctrine was a "nonjurisdictional, prudential doctrine" (citing Kadic v. Karadzic, 70 F.3d 232, 249 (2d Cir. 1995)), and held that such a doctrine would not inhibit the court from entering a default judgment.

Wuneekeesuq Nutawâm (Greetings to my Tribal Community),
Happy New Year! I pray that the Creator blesses you, your family and our tribal nation with good health and happiness in the coming year.
2011 was an exciting year for our Tribe, and I truly believe we are experiencing a "Wampanoag Renaissance." Together, we made significant progress towards our goals. There is still much to do, and we must always strive to do better, but I would like to take time and highlight a few of our accomplishments over the past year.
Early in the year, our Tribe was recognized with the US Mint's 2011 $1 coin, depicting the 1621 Wampanoag Treaty. This was important recognition of our history on a national stage. In addition, our Tribe had the honor of participating in Governor Patrick's interfaith Inaugural service.
Throughout the year, we worked hard to secure funding for existing and new Tribal programs. I am very proud of the job our Development team did over the past year to secure much-needed funds for everything from housing, to fuel assistance, to tutoring, to sports activities for our youth. Especially exciting is the $200,000 in foundation funding our Tribe will receive for child care services.
We executed a first-class, good medicine Powwow. The three-day event was well attended, vibrant, and an opportunity for our Wampanoag culture to shine. We honored the late Alice Lopez with a celebration that I'm sure would have made her proud.
Alice's legacy continues to live on through the housing development on Meetinghouse Road. While progress has not always been as swift as we would like, we broke ground on the water treatment portion of the project and we are moving forward with this important project, which will provide housing for Tribal members.
Our youth and our Education Department teamed up with UMass Boston to conduct the first-ever session of Native Tribal Scholars. I am so proud of what our young scholars were able to achieve over the summer session, and hope that even more students will participate in the program over the school year and in the summers to come. This effort to support our students to complete high school and go on to college is incredibly important and I thank all who have worked so hard to make it happen.
In order to better serve the many tribal members living in the Greater New Bedford area, the Tribe was proud to open a New Bedford satellite office. Tribal departments are providing services and meeting with citizens every day. Special thanks to the Helme family and other New Bedford-area Tribal members for helping Council pursue and make this goal a reality!
We are also very excited about the milestone toward building our Tribe's community center. Funding through the USDA makes it possible for a planned groundbreaking in 2012. This facility will provide much needed community meeting space, offices for Tribal departments, services and cultural programs.
On November 22, Governor Deval Patrick signed legislation expanding gaming in Massachusetts, including a provision acknowledging the right of our Tribe to build a destination resort in southeastern Massachusetts. In the coming months, we will announce a location and get to work negotiating a compact with the Governor. This is a major step in our economic development strategy for our Tribe!
And last but not least, I was honored and thrilled to be a part of the Grand Opening of the Mashpee Wampanoag Health Services Unit. Being able to provide health services to our people is a major milestone for us as a sovereign government, and I am so proud of everyone who worked so hard to make this happen.
These milestones are just a few examples of what we can accomplish when we work together in a positive, constructive manner toward our goals. We have much more to do, and we will succeed!

Thermodynamic analysis and assessment of space heating with ground–source heat pump for sustainable future
In this paper, the thermodynamic modelling of exergy loss, exergy efficiency, exergy destruction rate, environmental destruction coefficient, improvement potential, exergy destruction factor, relative irreversibility, productivity lack and exergetic factor of ground source heat pump (GSHP) system are investigated. The results show that these exergy indexes should be used integratively. Compressor has the maximum exergy destruction rate, followed by the condenser and ground heat exchanger. Exergy efficiencies are obtained as 54.54% and 38.52% for the GSHP unit and whole system, respectively. Related parametric studies concerning about exergy destruction rate and exergy efficiency of the system components are carried out at different ambient temperatures.

Today we're featuring an Ask the FBGs post from reader Shannon. Shannon's original question had us (and her) looking for more info, so we've included the full exchange to hopefully help any one else with a similar issue!
Dear FBG,
I'm in my 5th year at the University of Tennessee—a campus that is known for its rolling hills. Just for quick background, I was a competitive cheerleader in high school, so I was in awesome shape. To top that off, the team I was on was the highest in my gym, so we were under extra pressure and had team personal training and extra practices to make sure we were our best. In other words, we worked our butts off. I aged out when I went to college, so I started running with my boyfriend. We usually did a 5K, and then I'd do about 10 standing tucks (backflips) afterward but it just didn't feel like enough. I have done lots of races: 5Ks, 10Ks, a half marathon (when I was a sophomore, I got up after a night of drinking with four hours of sleep and ran 11 miles in the mountains—one of my best/harshest memories!).
I moved to Wisconsin in the winter and stopped running because I despise treadmills and the weather was not conducive to outdoor running. When I moved back to Tennessee, I had started smoking (gross, I know), only ran once every couple of weeks or so, and it dwindled from there to once every few months or less. I also packed on the pounds. I have about 60 to lose that I gained in a ridiculously short amount of time.
Anyway, I'm doing the Couch to 5K program, and I'm about to do my last run of the second week. I am fully aware that I am out of shape, but the hardest thing about the running is the shin splints I get! I now carry around a tube of Icy Hot in my purse at all times. Sometimes the running actually helps my shin splints, but sometimes (like this morning) it makes them worse, and it's especially painful in my right tibia. Do you guys have any advice on what to do? I wear shoes for overpronators, I don't pound the pavement, and I stretch a little before running. Like I said, I used to be a runner, so I am pretty aware if I'm doing something terribly wrong, but it's just not obvious to me what's going on.
I need help from FBG!
Hi Shannon,
You poor thing! It sounds like maybe you're doing too much too soon, and we'd recommend taking time off from running (could you cross-train in the pool or on the elliptical without pain?). You might also want to try icing your shins every two to three hours for 20 minutes, but I'd like you to get an expert's opinion on it. (You could have a stress fracture, or just need to strengthen your shins.)
Sorry this answer isn't more complete—if it's bad, you should totally go see a doctor!

Hello to Shannon, sorry to hear of your misery.
Have you looked into barefoot running or something like it? I had similar problems to yours but after getting into the barefoot (wearing Vibram Five Fingers) running, jogging, my foot, shin and plantar facitis (sp) have total gone away. You might read "Barefoot Runner" or look it up on the internet. I was skeptical but am now a believer and feel great!
Just a thought. Good luck and good health.
Are your shoes in good shape? I've tried minimalist shoes and they weren't for me, but the Reebok Zigs have been great. I never got shin splints, but I did have some leg pain and they've made a huge difference. There is definitely something to be said for good shoes and stretching. Good luck!
Hey Shannon,
Actually I kind of have an opposite journey from you. I used to suck at running in HS – I could barely run a mile. I was pretty much the same weight that I am now, but my lung capacity was horrible and so I never pushed myself. The older I got the more I ran and now I'm doing 5K 3-4 times a week, which if you told me I'd be doing in HS I'd laugh in your face. Anyways, I learned a lot about shin splits because I got them all the time when I was first starting out. Here are some tips:
1. Stating the obvious: stretch!
2. Start the first few runs on flat surfaces – don't attempt high elevations/rolling hills.
3. Work on your stride. Although you used to run a lot, you may be running differently now. Especially if you've been out of running or your body shape has changed.
4. Do other types of cardio in between, particularly in the beginning. Do the elliptical instead of running 3 days straight.
5. Make sure you have good running shoes. Find out which way your foot hits the ground (overpronation/underpronation) and get sneakers that help with that.
Hope that helps!
Hi Shannon,
I feel your pain. That is not fun. Three things that seem to help me with lower leg pain:
1. ICE. It hurts and it sucks, but it helps. I like to freeze water in small dixie cups and then use that to ice. You can tear away the sides of the cup, and then use the block of ice to massage you leg while you ice.
2. COMPRESSION SOCKS. I just started using these, and I notice a huge difference in my lower legs because they improve the blood circulation in that area. They can be pricey, but they're worth it.
3. THE STICK. You can go to The Stick's website, http://www.TheStick.com, to read more about this and what it does. It's a tool that helps you work out the knots in your legs. Can really help break up adhesions. You don't have to get the actual The Stick brand. There are other brands out there, too.
I returned to running about 3 years ago (was a runner from 5th grade through high school). At first I didn't want to buy anything "fancy" until I was sure I would stick it out, so I just ran in shoes I already had. The week before I was planning to get "real" running shoes, one of my legs started hurting probably due to the mediocre shoes. It sounds like you might know your stuff with shoes, but you might want to find a different pair or style to see if it helps.
While i was recovering from the injury, I used an elliptical instead of running outdoors – less impact on the leg. My YMCA has a few different styles of ellipticals and there is one make that is most like a running stride. Unfortunately, i can't remember the name of it – I just know where those one are in the gym… I much prefer to run outdoors, but when I have to use the machines I make sure to load up my ipod with interesting podcasts or tunes to help maintain my sanity.
Oh my goodness! I just remembered this got published and decided to check it out again on a whim. The feedback is great!
@Leslie – I've heard a lot of mixed reviews for the Vibram Five Fingers, but it seems like it could be worth a try. I'll definitely check it out, thanks for the suggestion!
@Katie – my shoes were in pretty good shape, although I have had my eye on the Asics Nimbus 13s (http://www.zappos.com/asics-gel-nimbus-13-lightning-white-magenta). I've seen the Zigs before but haven't really heard anything bad or good about them. I'll look into it, thanks!
@Sara – I agree – there's no way I still have the form I used to have when I was much more in shape and had less body mass. I actually started running on a treadmill again and since I'm usually right in front of a window and can see my reflection, I'm much more aware of my foot placement. Especially since if I look anywhere to my left or right I'll likely fly off the treadmill. (I need a custom made 5 foot wide treadmill just to keep me from traveling off the edges!) Also, great idea with the elliptical. Not only does it reduce physical stress, it keeps me from getting bored out of my mind doing the same thing over and over. Thanks for your feedback!
@Erin – I've wanted to get the stick forever!!! I have an old tequila bottle that I collect change in that is going toward that purchase specifically – I like the fact that some symbol of my (college) unhealthier past is harvesting $$ for my healthier future. (I'm not that creative, I just thought the bottle was pretty and started throwing change in it. Funny how things work out!) I've actually considered using a rolling pin in the mean time. Wonder if there are any reviews for that…anyway, GREAT idea with the dixie cups. I'm definitely going to try that one. Also, my dad did suggest compression socks since apparently that's what he did as an athlete in the olden days. Maybe compartment syndrome has some genetic ties? Anyhow, thank you very much for the wonderful suggestions!
@Tricia – I'm also hesitant to buy anything fancy. Which is why I'm holding off on things like the stick until I save up some money. But I do plan to buy new shoes this weekend! I just got a membership to my YMCA and I love it. I ride my bike there, so it's an extra little workout. I think my biggest problem is getting bored on the elliptical/treadmills. Even with a long playlist, I get SO bored after about 15 minutes. (Which made me realize…I think one of the things I love about running outside is that once I get to my halfway point, I have to keep going to get back home!) I'm going to make another attempt at a nice long elliptical session tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes! Thanks for the words of wisdom 🙂
Hi Shannon,
The mind numbing nature of the treadmill is something I can totally understand. Canadian winters force one inside and onto the "dreadmill", but I'm learning they aren't that bad. Try the different training programs a lot of them come with and think of them as a tool to help maintain and improve your fitness until you can get back outside.
As for your shin splints and pain, i'd have to agree with Jenn that you're likely doing too muh too soon. I know you mentioned you're using the couch to 5k app… Have you considered a walking program first? I'd suggest checking out some of the books, resources and programs the Running Room (www.runningroom.com) has. Remember the 10% rule. Don't increase your training time or mileage more than 10% each week. Previous suggestions about cross training are also excellent.
The shoe issue is always a hot topic. I know you've run in the past, but have you had a recent stride assessment done with respect to your pronation? There is a tenancy to stick people in shoes for either under or over pronation, when all they really need is a good neutral shoe. I swear by Asics Gel Cumulus. Start thinking about your stride too. Are you taking giant steps in an effort to go faster? This can put a lot of unnecessary strain on your joints and muscles causing injury.
I hope these suggestions help! Running quite literally changed my life and is a gift that everyone should be able to experience (even the haters who claim they can't run and look at you like you're crazy).
Look into Zensah sleeves. I used to get shin splints from soccer and they helped immensely. I wore them everytime I worked out until the pain went away and I even wore them to work where I would be on concrete for hours. I had a teammate who wore them for calf cramps so they are multi use haha

Jupp Derwall (Josef Derwall), (born March 10, 1927, Würselen, Ger.—died June 26, 2007, Sankt Ingbert, Ger.), German association football (soccer) manager who during his tenure as national coach (1978–84), guided West Germany to 45 wins (including a record 23 straight), 11 losses, and 11 ties; the 1980 European championship title; and the final of the 1982 World Cup, in which the team lost to Italy. After World War II, Derwall played professionally for Oberliga West, Alemania Aachen, and Fortuna Düsseldorf, and he made two appearances in 1954 with the national team. After retiring as a player in 1959, Derwall coached at the club level until he was recruited in 1970 as assistant to the national coach, Helmut Schön. He succeeded Schön as head coach soon after the 1978 World Cup (in which West Germany failed to advance past the second round), but he was replaced by Franz Beckenbauer after Germany did poorly in the 1984 European championship. Derwall unexpectedly moved to Istanbul, where he introduced European training techniques and built Galatasaray into one of Turkey's most successful clubs. He retired in 1988.

The Bose SoundLink Mobile builds on the company's SoundDock program, but ditches the physical dock in favor of Bluetooth streaming (meaning it works with iPhones AND other devices too). Measuring about the size of a hardcover book, the dock can be customized with either a leather or nylon lid that folds back to double as a stand. The battery will run for eight hours at reasonable levels and less if you blast the chunes. If you know Bose, you know the sound will be big.

Pretty. Private. Pink. BFF Brunch
Everything good is worth celebrating and anything worth celebrating deserves your best effort. That includes spending time with friends. It's always a great time when the girls can get together, but life oftentimes stands in the way. If you're like me and entire states separate you and your BFF, then when you two can finally get together it's a big deal. Why not mark the occasion with a #fancy brunch to catch up?
What are my suggestions for a great date with your bestie? Pick a spot that's private…away from the boys and the kids. Bring out your good linens and fine china, so she'll know it's special. #aaaaawwww Make something yummy (and decadent) like this praline pecan monkey bread. Serve it with bacon, fresh fruit, and a drink (or 2) like a mimosa, or this apple cider sangria. Have a fantastic time with your unbioligical sister.
Here's how I set up my table:
I was inspired by this graphic pink and green fabric Absolute Travel Addict shared with me from one of her trips to the Motherland. It made for a fantastic runner and added a lot of visual interest to the design. The pink roses were the perfect feminine touch. Doesn't it scream, no boys allowed? 🙂

Is boinc not just renamed setibhome?
Oh I see. Seti at home moved to boinc years ago. That is when I switch to folding. Boinc is just a program used by many projects. Not just seti. Thats kind of neat.
Who cares about battery life when you can cure diseases with a very slow processor singlehanded!
It almost makes sense. There's a ton of devices out there... tapping into that sorta makes sense...
but heat output on a mobile device and battery life are rather big issues.
I could see running this at night when my phone's on WIFI and plugged in. I'm not using it and it's not on battery, so heat and power usage shouldn't be issues.
at least fah has a commendable end result. seti at home, einstein at home, holy crap lol
cpu+gpu on modern android phones is comparable to gflops output of midrange PCs from 2007 or so. not bad at all. not sure if running a phone at 100% load for hours on end would be particularly good for it, though
This stuff is more useful for tablets etc. The heat will damage the battery and cell phones are too small. The tablet will have more space to accommodate the heat, for example the iPad.
The Arm 15 will be good for this stuff since it has tons of power but at the cost of battery.
Maybe in the future these things can come autoinstalled in certain phones or tablets and take a minimum of 10% of CPU performance, 30% when idle.

A friend of mine has a drive train out of a 87-90 fox in a model t project that he's stripping out for a 350. I'm planning on buying it from him, replacing gaskets/whatever needs replacing then swapping on the 8 spark plug head from my engine onto this one then putting it back in my car. Are there any problems I will be encountering or any reason why I shouldn't do this? I'm assuming the pistons/all other internals are identical, am I correct? Thanks in advance!

Rear Window : Brought to You in High-Def
2525 Michigan Ave. # B2
90404 Santa Monica
Patrick Painter Inc. is proud to present a group exhibition of works by Mike Kelley, John Baldessari, Ed Ruscha, Reinhard Mucha, Jean-Luc Mylayne, Craigie Horsfield, Catherine Opie, Dennis Adams, Christopher Williams and Juan Muñoz in our East and West Galleries.
The Poetry of Form: Part of an Ongoing Attempt to Develop an Auteur Theory of Naming (1985/96) is a series of works by Los Angeles artist Mike Kelley which consists of thirty-four black and white photographs of cave formations and exists as a part of the larger project Plato's Cave, Rothko's Chapel, Lincoln's Profile. The series is a reflection of Kelley's interest in the juxtaposition between image and name, relaying to us the importance of fabrication and the dangers of misconception.
John Baldessari's series of eight color photographs "National City", depict a theme that the artist has returned to throughout his long and varied career. Baldessari challenges the viewer to carefully consider the image and examine the often overlooked margins and peripheries.
Ed Ruscha is one of the most imfluential and prolific American artists of his generation. While he is best known for his juxtapositions of words and images, Ruscha's career remains incredibly diverse. As God (2010) illustrates, the artist's works in photography stand as some of his most engaging.
German sculptor Reinhard Mucha has been creating highly personal assemblages and constructions since 1979. Using both old and new materials, Mucha's installations are a reflection of his country's Contemporary industry and travel. In BBK Edition (1990), he uses recycled furniture and previous exhibition posters to raise awareness of the politics in display, ownership, and memory. His work challenges the museum setting by incorporating recycled elements that are often used in the display of art.
In No. 1 (1978) and No. 75 (1987), French artist Jean-Luc Mylayne explores the intimate bond between subject and photographer. Mylayne is known for his meticulous technique, which involves attentively spending each day waiting, analyzing, and gaining trust with his subjects in a particular location, often for months at a time. At the precise moment, he is able to capture his subject with a dedicated combination of location, atmospheric condition, and vantage point.
Mylayne's persistent and assertive style of photography sets him aside as a truly committed artist.
English artist Craigie Horsfield first printed his black and white photograph, Casa Comalat, Avinguda Diagonal, Barcelona, December in 1995, a year after it was initially taken. This delay is a unique aspect of his process, which brings attention to the disparity between memory and the present moment. His photographs are often part of collaborative social projects that raise awareness of our relationship with individuality, our surroundings, and the human condition.
Catherine Opie is an American artist known for her investigations of various cultural communities through documentary photography. In 1998, Opie embarked on a two-month trip across the country to research and photograph lesbian couples and their families at home. As part of the "Domestic" series, Tammy Rae and Kaia, Durham, North Carolina is a reflection of Opie's own interest in personal relationships and the ways in which a family is constructed and considered.
Sculptor and Conceptual artist Dennis Adams is best known for his installations and public sculpture projects throughout Europe and the United States. However, in Patricia Hearst A-Z (1990) Adams uses twenty-six chronological headshots of the newspaper heiress, including her First Communion at age 13, her scandalous trial, and finally her wedding day. These prints illustrate the invention and reinvention of Hearst's identity, which have been filtered through the obsessive eye of mass media.
Christopher Williams falls into the category of West Coast conceptual artists. His photographs, such as Young Hee Kim and Gyung-Hwa Han (1992), contain social elements along with institutional critique.
The late Spanish artist Juan Muñoz is often cited as a sculptor although he much preferred the self-description of "storyteller". However, in Rear Window, Munoz explores the medium of photography in the works Untitled (1995) and Cardtrick (1996). These photographs emphasize the artist's focus on space, displacement, absence, and paradox.

For the past few days I've been back-and-forthing with a buddy of mine about how awesome Pharaoh is, so I think to myself this morning, "Hey douche, share the wealth of the Pharaoh with the readers." So here we are.
Pharaoh is a USPM (U.S. power metal) act from Philly currently signed to my most favorite of labels, Cruz Del Sur Music. In 2003 Pharaoh released their first full-length, After the Fire, then another in 2006, and another, Be Gone, the subject of today's album of the day, in '08.
Be Gone, and really any Pharaoh record, is pretty spot on when it comes to the type of power metal I like. Granted, I dabble into the flower variety of power from time to time but nothing quite has the staying power like melodic USPM. Further, nothing quite has the staying power like that of Pharaoh's riffs. Melodic and thundering you'd be hard pressed to find a single track on Be Gone that doesn't have at least one you can hum along to later. While the music otherwise makes no claim at being revolutionary or progressive, it's the subtleties of well-rounded vocals, great lyrics, stand-out riffage, and true craftsmanship that make this album a gem and today's album of the day.
Pharaoh is:
Chris Kerns- Bass
Chris Black- Drums (Dawnbringer, ex-Nachtmystium)
Matt Johnsen- Guitars (Dawnbringer)
Tim Aymar- Vocals (ex-Control Denied)
Chief Editor and Writer for Metal CallOut. Favorite sub genre of heavy metal includes Black, Death, Folk and Traditional. Josh can be found at Google+.

On Thursday, May 24th, University Libraries, in association with Ohio University Press, will be hosting the second event in a series of Authors @ Alden. The event will feature Dr. Paschal Younge, author of Music and Dance Traditions of Ghana: History, Performance, and Teaching.
Perhaps in no other aspect of our lives is diversity as easily illustrated as it is in our music. Encapsulating vast swaths of cultural heritage in a surprisingly concentrated package, music can pull together language, clothing, movement, ceremony, religion, love, celebration, mourning, history, and dreams for the future. Music becomes an ideal vehicle for bringing out the underlying similarities between us all.
The book focuses on dance and musical traditions of Ghana's four main ethnic groups. The genres of Ghanaian music explored in the book are: general concepts of music, dance and performance; cultural perspectives; performance; and form and structure of musical types and dance-drumming ceremonies. Also, historical, geographical, cultural and social backgrounds of the groups are studied.
Dr. Paschal Young's Authors @ Alden presentation will take place at 2:00 p.m. on the 4th floor of Alden Library in the Leisure Reading area on Thursday, May 24th. The talk is open to the public and refreshments will be provided.
Music and Dance Traditions of Ghana: History, Performance, and Teaching is available on Amazon. Keep on the lookout for future Authors @ Alden events at Alden Library.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Joe Jonas and Blanda Eggenschwiler have split.
The 24-year-old singer and 29-year-old graphic designer were together for 20 months. The pair met through mutual friends, and started dating shortly after Jonas broke up with actress Ashley Greene.
"Joe and Blanda have mutually decided to part ways," Jonas' rep tells Us Weekly. "The split was amicable and the two remain friends, with great respect for one another."
"It was mutual," a source confirms to E! News. "They both wanted to do new things. Joe wants to be single right now and they thought it was better if they are just friends."
Jonas came to fame with brothers Kevin and Nick as the pop group The Jonas Brothers, but the band broke up in October 2013. The singer revealed at Lollapalooza over the weekend that he is developing a cooking show with friends, and said he would continue "focusing on music, acting and writing."

The first bill signed into law by President Obama is one that significantly expands employers' exposure for possible claims of discriminatory pay. That law, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 (FPA), was signed on Jan. 29.
It's too soon to tell whether this new law represents the beginning of a new wave of pro-employee legislation by the new Congress. But in and of itself, the FPA represents a significant development of which careful employers need be aware.
More time to file for pay bias
The FPA expands the period of time when an employee may file a lawsuit against an employer for pay discrimination. Employees may begin such a lawsuit within 180 days of receiving a paycheck reflecting a discriminatory pay level—regardless of when the underlying compensation decision was made. (That time period is extended to 300 days if a claim is additionally based on a state or local law prohibiting dis...(register to read more)

The only genuine fast-food outlet in Ocean Beach is the Jack-in-the-Box at the corner of Voltaire Street and Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, a garish orange structure erected in 1956, a time when leering fifty-foot-tall clown heads greeted the chain's patrons. Since then, OB residents have developed an antipathy to quick eateries; the community actively began discouraging fast-food purveyors, and last year blocked Winchell's Donuts from acquiring a foothold. Now, however, the community distaste for fast food isn't daunting executives of the Foodmaker Corporation from planning to expand dramatically their lonely outlet in the beach neighborhood.
To date, those plans call for increasing the facility from about 1000 to about 2400 square feet, extending it in three directions, and expanding the number of seats from twenty-four to sixty. Foodmaker also wants to spruce up the enlarged exterior with wooden siding and more glass. Company officials are quiet about their plans for the towering old-style sign, one of the facets of the expansion likely to draw critical comment, along with the outlet's drive-through character and its parking accommodations. Those and other such questions should surface tomorrow at the coastal commission, where the Foodmaker project is scheduled for a hearing.

2032 pieces for 120 GBP / 150 US$ gives a very decent price-per-piece, though a lot of pieces are very small so it's a bit of a false indicator. For instance, it takes 33 small pieces just to make the 'PETS' sign.
For your money you get two separate buildings, four minifigures and six animals.
The minifigures include a man, a woman, a decorator guy and a girl. As seems to be usual with Lego non of the individual parts are unique but the complete combinations haven't been used before. The girl rides a green bike which is fairly rare, having only been used in 3 other sets from the past couple of years.
|The people.
|The pets.
Firstly the house. The bottom floor is raised to accommodate a low cellar / coal storage area and a trap door inside the building allows access. The front door is reached by steps which always remind me of old Victorian houses in the middle of cities. Furniture includes a sofa, coffee table, hat stand and some flowers in a vase on a stand. My favorite part is an old-style telephone. Made out of four standard pieces it looks perfect! I always admire the designers who come up with ingenious ways of using pieces that were designed for something entirely different, the telephone ear/mouthpiece is a light saber hilt from the Star Wars sets!
There is a neat spiral staircase to the next floor which is obviously being decorated. A paint pot, a paint roller and tray is a bit of a giveaway. Aside form the paint stuff there is nothing else in the room. Another spiral staircase leads to the top floor which is empty apart from a couple of 'boxes'. There is a door that leads to a small roof garden.
|The house, with the decorator only just starting to paint!
On to the pet shop itself. Basically the same dimensions as the house but very different internally. The frontage has the shop and an arched entrance to a stairwell that leads to the floors above. The shop has a small aquarium (way too small for the fish, the poor thing can't move in there!!) and two cages, one each for the cat and dog. There is a hole in the base of the wall by one cage where the mouse/rat can scuttle in and annoy the cat. There is also a check-out desk with an old style cash register, again fairly well rendered with five standard pieces.
On the floor above there is a nice little kitchen with a coffee maker, a sink unit, a cooker, table, chair and a nice little fire place. It's quite surprising how much there is packed into a small space! A flight of stairs lead to the top floor - a small bedroom with bed and a lamp. In fact the top floor is only half a floor, the other half is the double height kitchen. A skylight on the roof tops off a very impressive building.
|Pet shop, kitchen and bedroom.
As with all modular sets, this is expensive, but I consider it worth the price. Lego's first pet shop is a great addition to the modular line, and something that's been missing for a long time.
|The finished buildings.

(PhysOrg.com) -- The federal government may not have been able to save California from massive budget cuts, but at least a stimulus research grant will help scientists understand the biology of western lakes.
USC College biologists Douglas Capone and Sergio Sañudo-Wilhelmy will use $535,000 from the National Science Foundation to study the nutrient cycle of three lakes in California and Nevada.
As world authorities on the nitrogen cycle and trace metals, respectively, Capone and Sañudo-Wilhelmy hope to pinpoint how a lesser-known metal — molybdenum — affects a lake's productivity.
The project is relevant to anyone who has ever water-skied, fished or swum in algae-choked waters.
An excess of nutrients leads to eutrophication, the term for unchecked plant growth in a body of water. The plants consume all oxygen in the water, killing fish while creating thick mats of vegetation.
The opposite problem, a dearth of nutrients, also may limit the fish and game that live off a lake.
Nitrates and phosphates from human activities often drive the nutrient cycle. But in remote lakes with few sources of natural or artificial nutrients, trace metals such as molybdenum may be the limiting factors, Capone said.
In such places, small variations in metal inflows could cause big changes in a lake's biology.
"By understanding these subtleties, you may be able to prevent eutrophication," Capone said.
His team's overall goal, he added, is "to understand controlling factors in the primary productivity of each of these [lake] systems."
The three lakes are nutrient-poor Castle Lake, near Mt. Shasta in Northern California; Lake Tahoe, which used to be nutrient-poor but has begun to change with increased runoff from human activities; and Walker Lake in Nevada, a nutrient-rich lake on the verge of eutrophication.
Expected to last two years, the project will test the researchers' hypothesis that molybdenum is a key factor in the uptake of nitrates and nitrogen fixation by algae in these lakes.
Nitrogen-fixing microbes obtain their nitrogen directly from the air. They are able to live in nutrient-starved waters, but they need key trace metals. Capone and Sañudo-Wilhelmy believe that molybdenum is as important to nitrogen fixation in lakes as iron is for the same process in areas of the open ocean.
The project, funded by a grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will create full-time positions for a laboratory technician and a graduate student. Another two technicians and five graduate students will spend part of their time on the project.

Canada's oil and natural gas resources are not the only playgrounds for international energy players: Its financial markets are also emerging as magnets for foreign-based resource companies seeking to raise capital.
The Toronto Stock Exchange and the junior TSX Venture Exchange are collectively home to 35% of the world's publicly listed oil and gas companies, and 19% of globally listed oil field services companies — the highest concentration of energy listings anywhere.
Combined, the two exchanges are home to slightly fewer than 400 pure oil and gas players, far ahead of its nearest rival, the Australian Stock Exchange, which boasts about 224 oil and gas companies on its ticker. The New York Stock Exchange and junior NYSE market feature about 163 energy listings combined, while the London Stock Exchange and its Alternative Investment Market have collected 147 energy firms, latest available data show.
Of the 400 Toronto listings, more than a quarter are international companies, as intrepid oil and gas executives scour isolated basins in the most remote corners of the world but, seek the shelter of robust regulations and corporate governance of Toronto exchanges.
"We have been adding international companies at the rate of anywhere from 20 to 65 a year, and … as market conditions improve and uncertainty wanes away in favour of optimism, I think we will see those rates rise," Kevan Cowan, president of TMX markets and group head of equities, said in an interview. He added that the TMX exchanges have led the world in new listings for four years in a row, and raised more capital in the energy space in 2011 than other exchanges.
Perhaps more surprisingly, TMX Group identifies itself as the exchange with the highest number of clean-technology companies in the world.
Canadian regulators have stolen a march over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and AIM thanks to a less-onerous regulation regime to attract companies, said Barry Munro, oil and gas leader at Ernst & Young in Calgary.
"Canadian regulators generally understand the oil-and-gas business, and they have a practical and flexible regulatory environment," Mr. Munro said. "The SEC is the best example where the regulatory burden is so heavy that it chases people away."
But it is Toronto's deep and diverse investor appetite that is making these listings work. More than 40% of trading on the two exchanges originates outside of Canada, transforming the exchange into a global energy trading hub.
"As the profile of the TSX and TSXV opportunity has increased internationally, we are seeing a lot more international investors and portfolio managers investing in these companies — we are going to see a lot of increased financing activity," Mr. Cowan said.
Investor appetite is also fuelled by the country's large analyst community that covers juniors and seniors at a much earlier stage than in other markets, Monica Rovers, TMX's head of business development, told a conference in December. "For example, a $5-million to $6-million company going public in the States just would not get the attention of investors or analysts."
Another key differentiator is the smoother graduation process for companies from the junior TSXV to the TSX.
About 700 companies have moved up from TSX Venture to TSX since 2000 and one in four TSX composite index companies is actually a TSX Venture company, Ms. Rover said.
This is where London's AIM is failing its member companies.
"Listing on the AIM is an expensive endeavour," E&Y's Mr. Munro said. "In the two or three evolutions of AIM there have been instances where companies have been orphaned. Companies go through a significant process, get listed on AIM, and then will have virtually no investor following."
The TSX saw 20 new energy listings in 2012, dramatically fewer than the 49 additions in 2011. Global economic uncertainty last year was a recipe for lower trade volumes, fewer IPOs and even delistings across the global financial markets, and Canadian exchanges were no exception.
But 2013 appears to be more promising.
"The IPO pipeline is strong, of course, but the economic uncertainty has been difficult for some companies to get over the goal line," Mr. Cowan said.
Mr. Munro expects international listings in Canadian markets to pick up in the medium term.
"Bluntly, some entrepreneurs may see far better opportunities [abroad] than what they see in the challenging Canadian market in the world of low gas prices," said Mr. Munro, adding that, for their part, investors like the risk-reward trade off of investing in Canadian companies with international exposure.
TMX Group and the London and Australian exchanges have been chasing internationally focused energy companies, especially those operating in Africa, which has emerged as a hydrocarbons hot spot over the past few years.
"Africa is really hot. There are half-a-billion-barrel discoveries — the basin is so underexploited," Mr. Munro said.
While investors can get African exposure with BP PLC, Exxon Mobil Corp. or Royal Dutch Shell PLC, which have interests in the continent, it is hard to imagine you can get exposed to the upside the continent is expected to offer over the next few years.
For the fearless international investor looking for direct Africa exposure, the integrated Oando Energy Resources Inc., may be a better fit.
The Lagos-based company moved up from TSVX to the main market in July and acquired ConocoPhillip's Nigerian assets for US$1.79-billion in December. The move potentially allows Canadian and international investors to participate in a slice of Nigerian hydrocarbons assets, without the regulatory rigmarole of the Nigerian financial market regulators.
TMX Group is also preparing a roadshow to build on its 40 South American listings, and is looking across the continent to attract companies.
"This will continue to be a growth area," Mr. Munro said. "The stock exchanges themselves have been very aggressive, both TSX and TSXV and AIM, at promoting the development of markets. More fundamentally, there are attractive places in the world to invest and there will continue to be a flow of capital into these type of companies that drive the number of listings on the TSX."
Correction: Oando bought ConocoPhillips' Nigerian assets, not Chevron Corp.

A new report has criticized D.C.'s efforts to provide affordable housing, saying the Gray administration hasn't held up the standards set by previous mayors, even as the city's home prices continue to skyrocket and the income divide grows.
The report calls on the city to mandate that 30 percent of housing units in projects on D.C. land be set aside for families who make less than the region's median income, which is $107,500 for a family of four. Currently, affordable-housing levels are set by the city on a project-by-project basis. The report was produced by the Coalition for Smarter Growth, which advocates walkable communities.
While the city has set "an impressive record on affordable housing" in public land redevelopment, the report issued last week says that under Mayor Vincent Gray, "requests for proposals have reduced required set asides for affordable housing in public land development deals compared to the previous decade."
But other experts say the housing landscape isn't that simple, as prior mayors have ruled in real estate booms.
"During the boom times, you could get away with a lot simpler approach. But right now you really need to work to find what the right numbers are," said John McIlwain, a housing expert at the Urban Land Institute.
He added that a 30 percent requirement wouldn't be feasible in many projects today unless the city could compensate developers for that loss.
A spokesman for Gray said the report was one-sided.
"I think folks forget and don't see all the work we're doing on the other end -- strengthening D.C. Community College and One City One Hire," said Pedro Ribeiro. "Those pieces are just as important as creating units."
Still, home prices in the city continue to climb -- median sale prices have increased by 10 percent to nearly $420,000 since last September, according to the latest housing report from George Mason University. Meanwhile, U.S. census figures show the income gap in the District has gotten bigger in the post-recession era. The difference between the wealthiest households and the poorest in the city in 2009 was $71,000. Now, the gap has widened to more than $125,000 as the median income in the city's wealthiest neighborhoods are more than $155,000.
Staffers of at-large D.C. Councilman Michael Brown said he agrees that the city needs to provide more affordable housing. Brown, who chairs the council's housing committee, worked with the Department of Housing and Community Development to focus funding for affordable housing on those who earn less than 80 percent of the region's median income.

Q: My husband and I have sold our farmland, but wish to retain our house and yard and a few acres of land so that we can remain living there for a few more years. What are the steps involved?
A: The process to obtain a new title for a portion of an existing parcel of land involves a process called subdivision.
It is the same process that is involved in the development of new housing areas in towns and cities.
In rural areas of Saskatchewan, subdivision applications are considered and approved by the government relations ministry's community planning branch.
The process starts by hiring a qualified land surveyor or a professional community planner to survey the land and prepare a plan of proposed subdivision.
It involves a full technical survey of the parcel being subdivided, with details of property lines, buildings existing on the property and the location of roads, railroads and waterways that may cross the land.
You will also need to be aware of the zoning bylaw for your municipality to ensure that the subdivision you are proposing is in compliance.
An application to subdivide land is then sent to the community planning branch, along with copies of the titles to the land being subdivided and payment for the basic fee for subdivision.
The community planning branch examines the following when considering an application for subdivision:
- suitability of the site for the land use proposed
- utility requirements
- access requirements
- water supply and waste disposal
- flood protection and slope suit ability
- compatibility with surrounding land uses
Most of these concerns will be routine when applying to subdivide a farmyard from a quarter section of land.
However, subdivision factors become more complicated as the project becomes larger.
The community planning branch will issue a written decision, either approving the project, approving it with conditions or denying the application.
The legislation includes an appeals process for when conditional approval is granted or the application is denied.
When a certificate of approval is issued for the subdivision, it must be sent with the plan of survey and other supporting documents to the land titles office for registration.
Once that is done, a new title is issued for the new parcel, and your farmyard will be owned by you separately from the rest of the quarter section.
Many purchasers of land that contains a subdivided yard belonging to the sellers will ask for a right of first refusal in the event that the subdivided yard was ever sold.
If such a right is granted by the seller, the usual practice is for the purchaser to register that right as a miscellaneous interest on your title, so that it could be clearly noticed by potential purchasers in the future.

Death of Kyla Rogers is reminder of the fatal risk in family break-ups
18 May 2011
|"The tragic deaths of five-year-old Kyla Rogers, her mother Tania and her partner in the past 48 hours brings to mind the agonising stories of many other murders and murder-suicides that have occurred after couples have separated," writes Professor Patrick Parkinson AM
"When young children are murdered, the sense of grief and shock is particularly intense, but we should grieve equally whenever a mother loses her life at the hands of a former partner.
"Separating from a partner can be a dangerous time for women.
"In many of these homicides, there has been a history of domestic violence before the separation, but this is not always the case.
"In one British study, for example, 41 per cent of the murders of partners did not appear to involve previous violence towards the victim.
"A family break-up can release feelings of anger, betrayal, jealousy and revenge of such passionate intensity that people are capable of doing things that are entirely out of character."

Based on a True Story (2004)
Directed by Walter StokmanGenres - Film, TV & Radio, History | Sub-Genres - Biography, Film & Television History, Law & Crime | Run Time - 75 min. | Countries - Netherlands |

Synopsis by Josh Ralske
In August of 1972, John Wojtowicz entered a Chase bank in Brooklyn with another, younger man, a near stranger he'd met in a bar, Sal Naturile. The two tried to rob the bank, but things went awry, and a 14-hour standoff with the police ensued. Over the course of this ordeal, Wojtowicz made it known that he was robbing the bank to get money for his male lover's sex change operation. The story caught the attention of screenwriter Frank Pierson, who pitched it to director Sidney Lumet with Al Pacino playing the lead. The Hollywood version, of course, turned out to be Dog Day Afternoon, the classic 1970s crime film. But what happened to the real Wojtowicz? Dutch filmmaker Walter Stokman explores the events depicted in the film, and their long-term effects on the people involved, in his documentary, Based on a True Story. Stokman visits the crime scene. The bank is no longer there, but Wojtowicz lives nearby. Stokman interviews former bank employees (one of whom wrote and recorded a song about her experience), cops, and FBI agents, along with Wojtowicz's ex-wife, Carmen Bifulco, Pierson, and Lumet. He pieces together a portrait of Wojtowicz and his sad love affair with transsexual Liz Eden. But he has trouble getting Wojtowicz himself on film. In phone recordings, the ex-con makes escalating demands for money and control of the documentary, and threatens Stokman with both withdrawal of his participation and physical harm. At one point, Wojtowicz tells the filmmaker, "The documentary is not yours. The documentary is mine." Based on a True Story was shown at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival.

About 3,200 NB Power customers in New Brunswick were still without electricity at mid-day Thursday, victims of a wind and rain storm that blew through the Maritimes Wednesday.
Nearly all electricity had been restored by 5 p.m. Thursday, with just a scattered few homes in the Rothesay and St. Stephen areas waiting to be reconnected.
Power crews battled outages throughout the day and evening on Wednesday. At one point Wednesday evening, the number of customers without service topped 8,000.
High winds were to blame, downing trees and snapping tree limbs that would take down power lines.
In Lepreau, a wind gust of 99 km/h was recorded.
Thursday, many families were cleaning up debris that had scattered through the night. In Barnesville, Black River Road was washed out, stranding seven families who live on one side of the dead-end street.
Several roofing companies said they were busy repairing homes throughout the day.
Saint John recorded 88 millimetres of rain while Grand Manan had 68 and St. Stephen had 61. Fredericton and Doaktown each received about 55 millimetres of rain.

LORAIN — Alcohol may have contributed to the death of fire victim Lonnie Mullett Jr. early Sunday.
A report on the fire said Mullett was "possibly" impaired by alcohol or drugs when the fire occurred in his home at 418 Kentucky Ave. The fire is believed to have been caused by food left unattended on a stove.
Assistant Fire Chief and Fire Marshal Jeff Fenn, who wrote the report, said in a Tuesday interview that his conclusion was based on interviews with people with Mullett hours before his death who said Mullett had been drinking. Gary Wesler, who said he had known the 39-year-old Mullett for 30 years, said in a Sunday interview that Mullett was a good man but "a problem drinker."

Age: 5 Year(s)
Miniatur Wunderland says "Thank you!"Thanks to your help by buying our Donation pins we were able to donate more than 300.000 Euro!
Since 2007, we have Miniatur Wunderland donation pins supporting different charity organizations.
Already in the year 2004, when he heard of the devastating Tsunami, Frederik had the idea of developing the pins. Whithin only 10 days, he was able to sell 4000 pins to guests waiting in queue. The revenues were donated to the Tsunami victims.
It has always been his concern to share Miniatur Wunderland's success story, minding less fortunate people - some of them striken hard by their fate - , and to help within his might, focussing especially on children all over the world. So, he made up his mind to create pins with different motifs from Wunderland. All monthly revenues, including production costs covered by Miniatur Wunderland, are being donated to 100% to charity organizations, which are being selected by our guests.
Each pin costs 2.90 Euro. When buying a whole set of 12 pins with different motifs, you'll receive one pin for free. Since 2010, we also have magnets in our product line.
Up until now, we were able to support more than 40 organizations with the revenues of our pins. We focus on aid for kids and their families, as for example hospices, Children's Villages, children's addiction assistance, children's comprehensive cancer centres, homework assistance, soup kitchens for kids from underprivileged families, etc.
Also the association "Nestwerk e.V.", which supports kids and youths from socially underpriviledged families, has been a beneficiary of the pins, already. Founder of the initiative, Reinhold Beckmann says: "Miniatur Wunderland's donation pins are a wonderful fundraising activity. What a great achievement to raise 300.000 Euro for charity within six years! In the name of Nestwerk, which has benefitted from the revenues of the donation pins ever so often, I say a heartfelt Thank You. Here's to the next 100.000 pins!"
Other beneficiaries so far have been the street paper "Hinz und Kunzt", the German database for bone marrow donations, the charity organization "Viva con Agua", and "Doctors without Borders".
But, due to disastrous occurrences, there've also been months where we've decided spontaneously to donate the money to the charity "Aktion Deutschland hilft". For the first time it happened in May 2008, when a cyclone devastated wide areas in Myanmar, and nearly 1.5 million people were threatened by famine and diseases. The disastrous earthquakes in Haiti and Japan, as well as the flood in Pakistan and the famine in East Africa, prompted us to take action.
All in all, we were able to raise more than 300.000 Euro with the revenues of our donation pins. We wouldn´t have been able to manage this without your help and want to say a heartfelt Thank You!
Here, you have an overview of all donation pin beneficiaries

The handsome little mug was unmistakable, the manic, jaw-clenching grin even more so: Tom Cruise, ensconced in Dan Snyder's luxury box, on hand for the "Monday Night Football" season opener. The Cruiseman came; he saw; late in the fourth quarter, he closed and pumped his fist, as if discussing the finer points of psychiatric care with Matt Lauer. Shortly thereafter, the Minnesota Vikings kicked a go-ahead field goal, and stole an unexpected road victory when Washington Redskins kicker John Hall booted his own last-minute, game-tying attempt wide left.
This is no coincidence.
Jack Nicholson next to the Los Angeles Lakers' bench is good. Spike Lee at the Garden is better. But Cruise? The man brings bad mojo. Simple as that. He may be a Hollywood megastar. He may be a great dad, a loving husband, 24-karat morning talk show ratings gold. He may even be the perfect person to stand outside a Church of Scientology, passing out flyers and enthusiastic, slightly-crazed thumbs-up gestures to curious passersby.
Doesn't matter.
Cruise is absolutely, positively not the sort of celebrity you want hanging around your football team. Period. The venerable, snack-sized actor is the human equivalent of the "Madden" cover curse on the Jose Canseco steroid diet (Winstrol is good for you! I swear!). He brings worse luck than a black cat swaddled in a Terrell Owens Philadelphia Eagles jersey. Consider the karmic wreckage from Monday night's game, which saw the ballyhooed Redskins -- a Super Bowl contender by most preseason estimates -- lay a bigger egg than Monsieur Lestat in "Interview with the Vampire."
Hall's missed kick? Far and Away.
Skins corner Carlos Rogers getting toasted like a Pop Tart, then dancing a jig after Vikings receiver Troy Williamson dropped a surefire touchdown catch? Eyes Wide Shut.
Washington's much-hyped attacking defense failing to force a turnover and managing a single, lonely sack of 76-year-old Brad Johnson? Not exactly The Firm.
Thing is, I feel for the Redskins. I really do. I also wonder if they've seen "Vanilla Sky." Inking a two-year development deal with Cruise's production company -- as Snyder and his partners did last month -- probably seemed like a no-brainer. Then again, so did bringing aboard Deion Sanders. Honest to goodness, I thought the Skins had learned their lesson, eschewing overpriced, over-the-hill big-name free agents for smarter signings that were low on sex appeal but high on bang for the buck.
Indeed, the once-chaotic Redskins have been -- Zoiks! -- a stable, well-run franchise over the past two seasons, a team headed in the right direction. The club brought back Joe Gibbs. Acquired quality players like Shawn Springs and Santana Moss. Hired first-rate coordinators in Gregg Williams and Al Saunders. With grit replacing flash, the team made the playoffs last season, beating Tampa Bay in a first-round road game while purging the bitter aftertaste of the Norv Turner-Martyball-Steve Spurrier era.
Enter Cruise, who embodies a philosophical step backward. As a fan, he's rotten luck; as an actor, he's a supernova in the early stages of collapse, Tinseltown's answer to Bruce Smith, Sack King. High profile? Check. Vanity Fair cover? Check. Publicist-driven "apology" to Brooke Shields? Check. But don't be fooled. Washington isn't getting the "Top Gun" Cruise, the wounded yet cocky, squinty-eyed embodiment of America's 1980s resurgence. Nor are the Skins getting the "Jerry Maguire" Cruise, proof positive that you could make a bundle in the go-go 1990s without being a ruthless jerk. Uh-uh. The Quan is gone. What's left is the Cruise of "Magnolia," the annoying, vaguely creepy guy who is hanging on by a very thin thread.
Go down the list. "M:I III" was a turkey, an incomprehensible -- and by action movie standards, that's saying a lot -- series of big-bigger-BIGGEST explosions that reportedly failed to meet box office expectations. On the PR front, Cruise's past two years have resembled something out of the Bush White House, one disaster after another (Couchgate, Lauergate, Surigate and a truly unforgettable "War of the Worlds" promo appearance on BET. Much love!). Recently, Paramount severed its relationship with Cruise, a long-standing partnership that produced some $2.4 billion in ticket sales. Ouch. Think about it: studios exist to make money. They don't care about anything else (see Lohan, Lindsay, nocturnal habits). So why would mogul Sumner Redstone not only dump Cruise, but publicly lambaste him to boot?
Simple. The public is getting sick of Cruise's wackiness, and the guy who once had All the Right Moves is finally failing to outrun the giant blue-screen fireball erupting at his back.
Washington runs the risk of karmic Collateral damage. Beyond injury, the Redskins risk insult -- slings, arrows, and above all, snickers. During his first few years of ownership, Snyder was something of a league piñata, bashed and mocked as an impetuous Boy Owner by everyone from Chris Berman to the guys on the Fox pregame show to, well, Page 2. Some of the fun-poking was gratuitous, some of it well-deserved. Whatever the case, Snyder has done much to patch up his tattered public image since then, involving himself in charity work, copping a more humble public posture and generally keeping a much lower profile. It's an impressive, Andre Agassi-like bit of reinvention -- and one that associating himself with Cruise threatens to undo.
After all, the actor is a late-night monologue staple, comic fodder for just about everyone. Having him in your luxury box is like having Kevin Federline sing the pregame national anthem: even if he's good -- highly unlikely, by the way -- you're just asking to be lampooned. Worse still, Cruise may end up turning neutral fans against Washington. How many people pull against the Boston Red Sox simply out of spite for Ben Affleck?
(Sorry. Can't type too busy raising my hand).
Also remember: Cruise has gone a bit -- and we're pretty sure this is the technical term -- batty. It's only a matter of time before he butts in on football matters. So what if he can't tell a Cover 2 zone from a 4-6 blitz? Complete and total ignorance has never stopped him before. He's an authority on psychiatric drugs, despite lacking a medical degree. He was an expert on Shields' postpartum depression, even though none of his wives to that point had ever given birth. Just imagine him in the Skins' training room:
Cruise: Hey, put down that cortisone shot. You don't need it. Take this ginger pill instead.
Team trainer: But
Cruise: You don't know what you're doing. You're glib! You haven't done the reading. I have!
Under former owner Jack Kent Cooke, the Redskins attracted celebrity backers of a different sort -- inside-the-Beltway stalwarts such as Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern. Flashy names? Not exactly. But locally relevant and quietly powerful, much like the teams they rooted for. Perhaps the back-to-the-future approach epitomized by Gibbs should be brought to the owner's box. Condoleezza Rice, for instance, is a hardcore pro football fan. The most powerful woman in the world can't find a regular seat next to Snyder? Really?
In the meantime, the future looks dimmer than the script for "Days of Thunder": Cruise jumping up and down, Oprah-style, every time Clinton Portis scores. No. No. A thousand times no. Not unless Portis sneaks a couch onto the field and does the same thing. And speaking of over-the-top celebrations, the only guy pumping his fist more enthusiastically than Cruise on Monday night was Brad Johnson. The same guy who led the Vikings to victory, the same guy the Redskins once shoved aside in order start big-named, big-armed, woefully inadequate and eminently unpopular Jeff George.
Again, this is no coincidence.

A representative of Target is expected at the next meeting of the Ramona planning group to talk about the possibility of a Target store on state Route 67 property that once housed a chicken ranch.
During the announcement part of the Ramona Community Planning Group meeting this month, Chairman Helene Radzik said Target and Wal-Mart have expressed an interest in Ramona. Target is looking at the SR-67 location, and Wal-Mart was interested in talking to the school district about the 40 acres of school district land behind Ramona High and Olive Peirce Middle schools, she said.
"They're both interested in coming up here," said Radzik. "I don't know if one's going to supercede the other.
"It looks as if that is an area we are very interested in and we are exploring opportunities," Delia McLinden with Target Communications told the Sentinel, "but right now it would be premature to confirm any details."
Once Target purchases real estate, it usually takes a year to build a store, she said.
Target "gave me the impression that they're already discussing purchasing that property, but they will be here next month with a preliminary proposal idea to get feedback from us," said Radzik, referring to the planners' Nov. 6 meeting.
She said she talked to both retailers about "the importance of community character in anything that comes into this community."
Because neither item was on the agenda, the group could not discuss them, per the state's open meeting law.
"That's news to me," Dr. Robert Graeff, superintendent of Ramona schools, said of Wal-Mart's reported interest in school district property.
Nelson "Mac" MacWilliams, executive director of the Ramona Chamber of Commerce, said a Target representative doing a market analysis of the area came to the chamber office about two years ago. He told MacWilliams he was hired "to see if it was feasible."
A Wal-Mart representative was in the chamber office about two months ago asking demographics-related questions, said MacWilliams.
Sonic drive-in burger restaurant also considered a Ramona location, but changed its mind after learning about the county's transportation impact fee (TIF), added MacWilliams.
Many times people coming to the chamber for market analysis information think Ramona is a city, noted MacWilliams.
"They're not aware we're governed by the county," he said.
Corporations such as Target and Wal-Mart look at communities with a population of 50,000-plus, added MacWilliams.
"We're always looking for new opportunities for San Diego County," said John Mendez, Wal-Mart's Southern California public affairs spokesperson.
But, he added, there is "nothing in the works in Ramona."

The Bihar government issued a show cause noticeĀto former Patna District Magistrate Gautam Goswami for joining a private company (Sahara India Parivar) before being relieved from the government service, an official source said on Tuesday.
State Chief Secretary K A H Subramanian added that the Centre had also sought clarification in this regard.
He said that since the state had not accepted Goswami's resignation, he was still part of the Indian Administrative Service of the Bihar cadre.
Subramanian said the state vigilance department would also lodge first information reports against Goswami and others in connection with the multi-crore flood relief scam.
"If the situation demands, Goswami will be interrogated," a source told rediff.com.
Goswami, a 1992 batch IAS officer, who was named by Time magazine as a 'young Asian hero' for his exemplary work in providing relief to flood victims in Bihar, 2004, is now in the line of fire for allegedly diverting funds meant for relief to a private company.
The source said the FIR will be lodged under Indian Penal Code 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 and Section 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
