I am having a little trouble in the concept at present of making sites fully accessible to all including those with cognitive problems. I know these people deserve to be able to use the Internet and, as my daugter works with some I know that they are people with an enormous capacity to share their feelings with others and a real need exists to try to try to give them as many opportunities as possible to interact with the rest of the world. My problem however is that, apart from the almost endless variety of individual needs,capabilities and limitanions there seems to be at present little real understanding of their needs. Would it be helpful initially to throw away the whole idea of making sites for them accessible to all but to concentrate initially on what is needed to make a site accessible for them. Only after this is done can I see that it would be possible to marry these needs with those of the rest of the community so that hopefully all sites can become accessible to all. I am not trying to say make seperate rules and keep people with cognitive difficulties seperate but as a steping stone to true inclusion we surely have to know what makes a site accessible for people with these needs. I know a lot of work has been done in the general useability community regarding the cultural aspects of symbols and it has been shown that what we think are good symbols for icons do not stand up well in other cultural contexts. I also know that some work has been done on limiting the amount of choices and information in each page and avoiding distractions. Can anyone help me understand what are the real needs of people with cognitive problems, and I know that this is an inclusive term and covers people with disparite needs. Hopefully there will come a time all sites can adapt to the needs of all people.

The Former Rochester Spaghetti Warehouse trolley
Northern Texas Traction Company car 409 spent many years inside the former Rochester Spaghetti Warehouse restaurant located in downtown Rochester. Saved in 1996 through the efforts of many Rochesterians and New York Museum of Transportation volunteers after the restaurant closed down, the trolley was moved to the the NYMT in 1996 and then moved inside of the NYMT display barn in 1997. Mainly through the efforts of NYMT member Charlie Robinson, a trolley historian, car 409 was re-opened for public display inside the NYMT on May 15, 1998 .

March 3rd was the annual Zilker Park Kite Festival in Austin and it inspired me to make my very own kite! I don't know where I originally got the idea to use fabric and make a patchwork quilt, but this tutorial was very helpful: http://sewing.craftgossip.com/tutorial-patchwork-fabric-kite/2009/06/29/
I didn't follow the instructions exactly because I was looking at a few other tutorials at the same time, and I got turned around with all of the different instructions; so, the day of Kite Fest our kite didn't actually fly! I was very disappointed since I had stayed up so late the night before building it, but I didn't give up! That night we replaced the spars (rods) with slightly thinner dowels (less dangerous!) and put them on the correct side of the kite (my biggest problem was trying to fly it upside down all day…Hooray for late night tutorial misreads!). I also added pockets for the rods to go in on each corner and modified the way I finished the edges. Then, we made the tail bigger to add some more weight. For those of you wondering, this style of quilting is called crazy quilting or crazy patch. You either start in the middle or on one side and quilt the fabric to the back as you go…very fun!
On Monday I met Spencer at a park near his work on his lunch break and we had a wonderful picnic where we tested the new and improved kite! The weather was perfect and the kite flew amazingly! We let out about 150′ of string to my best guesstimate (based on how long the spool was and how much was left on it)! Unfortunately/ fortunately all we had were phone cameras so we had to go back on Tuesday to fly it again! The weather was much colder Tuesday and the wind was quite a bit stronger; but the kite still flew! And, my amazing garage sale camera lens finally came in handy ($50 for a brand new zoom lens)!
After our picnic I went by the quilt shop to get some fabric and show off, and they loved it so much they're planning on posting it on their blog! It should be here in a week or so: http://honeybeequiltstore.blogspot.com/
If you're in Austin and need fabric, Honey Bee is the place to go! They have the best fabric and are super nice! I go in just to visit some days! They also know just about everything about quilting and offer loads of great classes (like my kids sewing camp coming up in June!).
I'm thinking of posting more kites on Etsy, if I can find a good source for kite parts (rods/clips/string). I don't know that anyone would want an expensive kite body with cheap parts! If you want your own, feel free to message me with requests. And be sure to leave lots of comments!
Here is Spencer at kite fest trying to fix it for me (notice the bars on the front!)
And here are some pictures of the wonderful kite in action!
And here is me with the kite (on the nice warm day)!

By Jo Ann Daugherty
Formal schooling in the United States begins at the age of five. But maybe you have a bright, inquisitive child who seems ready for schooling well before kindergarten. Or maybe you're concerned about the level of academics your child will be receiving in this country. For a variety of reasons, immigrant parents such as Indians and Asians are increasingly interested in starting their children's education in preschool.
Starting your child early on his road to academic success does not have universal support, and can engender mixed feelings in parents. Viswanth Rao of Auburn, California says he was undecided about the benefits of sending his daughter to preschool. On the one hand, "You can get a jump on education, since they're young, and being young it's easier to learn," he says. "But then, they're going to get it all eventually anyway, so why not start at five?"
Other parents may worry, if their child is extremely shy, that the group activity could be overwhelming to them. On the other hand, many times a child's shyness is exactly the motivation for preschool. If the child is cared for in a family setting, there is limited acces to other children, and the lack of socialization can be a concern. In a preschool, a child will learn how to take turns, share toys, eat, and perhaps nap in a group setting. If a family has recently immigrated to the United States and is still learning the language, preschool can be an excellent way for a child to become a proficient English speaker. Kim Vu of San Jose compared the experiences of her two children, on of whom attended preschool while the other did not; the difference in comprehension once the children started kindergarten was enormous.
Also parents seek reinforcement in lessons of decorum. Most preschools teach basic manners such as saying "please" and "thank you", picking up your toys, and getting along with others. Dr. Robert Schiirrmacher, a Program Director of Early Childhood Education at University of California, Santa Cruz, observes about Indian parenting that in general "being well-mannered is part of their value system." Carinda Henares agrees that in her experiences as a preschool teacher at Little Scholars, "Good behavior is very important to Indian parents."
By and large the motivation for preschooling a child seems to be academic. There is a widespread perception of American schools as being too lenient. Manjit Mahendran, teacher and mother of 5-year old Anureet, remembers having to get up in front of her first grade class in Punjab to recite multiplication tables up to 20 X 20, a feat that is nor required of American students until 3rd grade. A preschool that reminds Indian parents of their own shcooling can be highly attractive. And in a culture where marriage prospecs ats well as future career depends on academic success, the threat of an inadequate education can be a strong motivator to start young.
In America, where children have so many distractionsto contend with, such as telivision and peer pressure, enforcing good study habits can be difficult. But Indian parents have always had very strong feeligns about passing on cultural heritage, and an important aspect of this heritage is academic excellence.
Not all Indian parents are as intent on a strong academic emphasis during the preschool years. Dr Sudha Kahl professor of Childhood Education at San Jose State University, sent her 4- year-old son to a preschool that has very relaxed academic standards, though she admits that the rigorous standards in other preschools can be a big draw to Indians. "The parents themselves were in a system where there was competition and achievement was emphasized," she says. "It's bound to have an effect on their expectations for their own children."
Many parents claim that at three years of age their child is already outgrowing the education he/she may be receiving at home, and enjoys the enrichment that a preschool can bring to him. Tanya Lai, whose five-year old son attended Milpitas Montessori, says, "He learned his alphabet all by himself at two. He kept asking, "What does this mean?'" Tamara Nagley, Director of Little Scholars Elementary school in San Jose, says, "It's important to present the academics and motivate the children, because some are ready. It would be a shame no to give them the opportunity."
For a parent who considers their child ready, the choices available can be disorienting. The Bay Area offers a multitude of alternatives, only a few which are listed below.
MONTESSORI Milpitas Montessori School is part of a system that is available all over the world. Its founder, Dr. Maria Montessori, was born in Italy in 1870, educated as a pediatrician, and developed a system of education based on cultivating the child's natural curiosity about the world around him. She developed the educational system out of a concern about the rigid teaching techniques that were common at the time.
Though there are many "flavors" of Montessori philosophy available, certain tenets are common to the school system. The most unusual one is that there is no age segregation. One big room holds the entire preschool range of children 2 ½ to 6 years old.
There is very little structure to the curriculum; indeed, when one first steps inside the classroom the first impression can be one of barely restrained chaos. There are little knots of activity all over the area. Some bend over worksheets at a table. Some play on little mats on the floor. Others are helping themselves to juice and pretzels.
The basic philosophy behind the Montessori method is to let the child feel free to choose what they want to do; the structure is imposed on the environment more than on the child. Theteachers are trained to be guides and facilitators rather than instructors, to demonstrate the correct usage of materials that a child has expressed interest in. the ratio of teachers to students is 1:9.
Milpitas Montessori emphasizes that their school is not a preparation for kindergarten; however, the level of academic learning is very high. It is common for three and four year olds to spell out and read three letter words. In addition, the school teaches grammar, geography, and logic, all with the use of concrete, visual methods. And if parents wish, they can continue their child's Montessori education all the way through high school.
The Asian population in this particular school is around 90%. The director, Lois Evans, guess that it may have to do with the high concentration of Asians in the immediate area; Also Montessori is a very popular learning system in the Asian countries. Abeela Kaukab, one of the teachers at the center, says the Asians have a very easy time learning English because "Learning is fun here." Out of 36 children, 4 were Indian. Dr. Robert Schirrmacher, who teaches Montessori education, has noticed an increase in the number of East Indian women who want to specialize in teaching in the Montessori manner. "Montessori appeals to people who want their children to behave in a courteous, well-mannered way," he says, as a way of expalining an appeal to Indian women. "There is emphasis on discipline, academics, subtle structure, and decorum which is part of the Indian value system." There is a longstanding interest in India for the Montessori system; Dr. Montessori did extensive work in India, and it is still an active Montessori site.
The Challenger school was founded in San Jose in 1966 by Barbara Baker, a first grade teacher who was frustrated by the large number of academically unprepared children in her class. The Challenger sstem expanded into elementary and middle schools due to popular demand and now has 14 centers and over 5000 students. Still primarily a Bay Area school, it recently opened campuses in Utah as well.
The Challenger chool system has a reputation for being rigorously academic. Anyone who might think the school is dry and stuffy, however, should check out the center in Newark. Director Sherry Adams has been at the center for thirteen years and she obviously lovers her job. She is warm and personable to parents and students alike. The curriculum is designed to be stimulating and fun. Music and catchy rhymes are used extensively to teac, and they have drama and art as well as the traditional sciences of phonics, math, language, and logic.
Asians and Indians make up well over 50% of the student population. When asked what the draw was for immigrant parents, Sherry said "We make them feel good about themselves." Everyone's cultural heritage is respected. They celebrate the Chinese New Year, Diwali, and Kwanza, as well as the traditional Christmas and Thanksgiving. As far as academics go, she said she has had several immigrant parents tell her that the Challenger system resembles their own education in their native country.
The teacher to student ratio is 1:12 in the preschool section. Every teacher is expected to have the usual early childhood education requirements, as well as in-house training in the Challenger methodology. There is rigorous quality control, as regional managers tour the school on a rotating basis to ensure that the school is adhering to Challenger standards. Poornima Kaneka sends both her sons, one 5 years old, one three, to Challenger. She investigated other schools but selected Challenger because "the curiculum was the best – both the phonics and the playtime." When asked what the attraction of Challenger schools is for Indians, she said, "Indians give more importance to education. What our parents expected from us is the same thing we expect from our children."
Parental involvement is heavily encouraged at Challenger, another attraction to Indian parents who tend to keep close tabs on their children's education. The school sponsors a "Small World" day where a parent is invited to come talk about a native holiday or tradition.
LITTLE SCHOLARS Challenger and Montessori have many sites the Bay Area. Little scholars, on the other hand, is a privately owned preschool. It was opened in 1983 by Anima Desei in the Evergreen area of San Jose. In 1994, responding to parental requests, she opened a second branch which teaches kindergarten through third grade. The preschool's primary mission is school readiness, such as writing and phonics, but it seeks to keep its emphasis on academics low-keyed.
Anima says, "the program is geared to individuals rather than academics." Moreover, she tries to balance the curriculum with other activities such as music and art; she notes that Indian parents are typically interested in their children excelling in the arts as well as academics.
Little Scholars is open from 6AM to 6PM five days a wee, and unlike many preschools, the schedule is flexible;parents can dro off and pick up their children anytime they choose. Since it provides daycare as ell as the preschool, the schedule includes lunchtime, snacks, and a two-hour nap.
The school is aimed at being culturally sensitive. There is a mix of Asians, Indians, and Blacks, as well as Caucasians in the school, reflecting the demographics of the Evergreen area. Manjit Mahendran, a teacher at Little Scholars, says, "The different cultures learn from one another." Anima has plans to start language progras in Indian, Mandarin, and Vietnamese, and to start an after-school club called "Paigam" ("a message") which would be open to all cultures.
Anima has noticed that Indian parents are more conrned with academics than the daycare aspect; they are very involved in their children's education. "They always check their children's cubbies, to make sure they're learning," she says. She doesn't find the Indian emphasis on academics surprising. She says it is simply assumed in many middle-class and upper-class households that the children will go to become professionals. She herself is an active member and past president of the Indian Business and Professional Women; the club membership includes many prominent Indian women who are doctors, CEO's, and lawyers.
KUMON Inside the campbell Kumon Center, there is a sign that outlines Kumon Features: "Strong Fundamental Skills – Improved Study Habits and Selflearning skills Increased Self Confidence – Enhanced Concentration and Increased Attention span." It is a very impressive set of claims. The center opens at 3:00, but five minutes til three students already hover outside the door, clutching their papers, eager to come inside and start. Ruby Vaswani, who runs the Campbell Center, says it is not unusual; the kids often show up early and all but press their noses against the glass until the doors are unlocked and they are allowed in. there was a brief flurry of activity when the doors opened and the first students plucked their folders from the standing rack and seated themselves in rows of tables. Within twenty minutes, the room became a quiet beehive of activity, with some twenty children, aged 5 to 12 years old, bent over their worksheets. You would think with so many children so close together there would be an abundance of socializing, and there was some, but the children were primarily intent on their work. They didn't need to be reminded that they were there to learn.
The Kumon system was developed in 1954 by Toru Kumon, who developed it in order to teach his son mathematics. It was so successful that he opened the Kumon Institute of Education in 1958. Kumon is dedicated to the process of "self-learning" – that is, every student works independently, with minimum instruction from the teacher. The students do not compete against each other, as in traditional schools; they only try to best their previous scores and move up the levels. Mastery comes from repeated application of the problems, a repetition that cements the information into their brain, and says Adarm Dorsay, Regional Manager, "They retain the information forever."
Kumon is not a preschool. In fact, it is not technically a school at all. Rather, it's a supplemental course of instruction, but it does take preschool age children. There is no minimum age limit; the average preschooler starts at age three. When asked if repetition was a problem for very young children, Ruby said absolutely not, and in fact when the preschooler realizes the objectives, their attention span increases dramatically. She cited the example of one preschooler who was so excitable that he could barely sit still in his chair, and by two weeks, was working by himself very quietly for a half hour at a time. Once he became aware of what was expected of him, it made a big difference in his attitude.
Ruby's class in Campbell was comprised of roughly 20% Indians, and 5% Asians. She surmised that Kumon is popular with indians because "Indians have high educational goals, and Kumon stresses individual potential." The system of overlearning – a complete mastery of one task before going on to the next level – is common to Indian education. The fact that many Indian children are taught certain material in school and then taught it again by a tutor is similar to the Kumon method of repetition. Kumon also demands a high level of parental involvement for the home study, again which is commonly found in the Indian culture.
The Kumon center takes all kids, all IQ levels, all learning types, all children, including those who are neurodivergent. Dherin Yagnik, father of a 12- year-old son and 16-year old daughter, has found the memory drills have not only helped his children's mathematical abilities, which are at least a year ahead of their peers, but has also enhanced their abilities in other areas, such as spelling.

"[C]arefully exposes what happens when sound methodology meets biblical studies. . . . Proving History is a brilliant lesson in the proper proportioning of belief to evidence. Even minimal attention to Bayesian probability theory reveals just how much of Jesus scholarship confuses 'possibly true' with 'probably true.' The only miracle Richard Carrier has left to explain is why so few appreciate that extraordinary claims require extraordinary support."
-Dr. Malcolm Murray, Author of The Atheist's Primer
"Carrier applies his philosophical and historical training to maximum effect in outlining a case for the use of Bayes's Theorem in evaluating biblical claims. Even biblical scholars, who usually are not mathematically inclined, may never look at the 'historical Jesus' the same way again."
-Dr. Hector Avalos, Professor of religious studies, Iowa State University, and author of , The End of Biblical Studies

Imiforce is the generic of Premise. This is the only generic product that Stewarts Pest Control use. Sherwood Chemicals the manufacture has carried out many tests and trials on this product and we believe Imiforce works as well as Permise. Imiforce has no airborne residues, no odour and has a low toxicity. The termites cannot detect the chemical and are controlled through ingestion or contact. The termites that receive a low dose become disorientated and they cease grooming each other, therefore allowing natural fungi in the soil to affect the termites and they become diseased and die. Imiforce is a schedule 5, which is caution and is a soil treatment for termites that is not classified hazardous according to the criteria of Work Safe Australia. Although Imiforce is lethal to termites, its specific mode of action is much less hazardous for humans, pets and wildlife. It has the same active ingredients as a market-leading veterinary product applied to cats and dogs to control fleas. Imiforce is the only soil termiticide that does not require occupants to leave the house while the treatment is carried out. The chemical is injected at up to 300mm intervals around the structure and under suspended floors (if applicable). We would drill and inject where there is paved or concrete areas against the external walls.

TESS VIGELAND: Despite Gustav's lashing of one of the country's main oil and gas producing regions, crude oil futures fell 4 percent in special electronic trading on the NYMEX today. Prices hit their lowest level in more than four months.
Marketplace's Dan Grech reports on the surprising optimism in the energy markets.
DAN GRECH: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated U.S. oil infrastructure in 2005. Barbara Shook with the Energy Intelligence Group says the industry learned its lesson. It spent the past three years upgrading its offshore rigs to withstand a storm like Hurricane Gustav.
BARBARA SHOOK: What we've been hearing is that the offshore facilities have suffered very little damage. They've all been upgraded, plus Gustav is not as strong as those storms were.
Jim Rouiller is a senior energy meteorologist at private forecaster Planalytics. He says the market is jumping the gun.
Jim Rouiller: Though I sure hope the production region dodged a bullet, as what many market players have been saying this morning, I think this mindset or feeling may be a bit premature.
Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch Shell and other energy firms won't know the full extent of the damage until they return to the rigs starting tomorrow.
Rouiller said Gustav ran through some key energy hubs, including Port Fourchon and the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, or LOOP.
ROUILLER: The LOOP terminal took a direct hit. And as we know, the LOOP terminal basically provides an artery for gas flow right up to Chicago.
There's still another hurdle to cross, says energy expert Jorge Pinon with the University of Miami.
JORGE PINON: The weakest link is the refinery capacity. To process crude oil into refined products like gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, which is really what the markets demand.
Gustav is now making its way through a region that is home to nearly half of the nation's refining capacity.
I'm Dan Grech for Marketplace.

Some investors and traders will welcome in the new year with an abbreviated trading session on Tuesday, Dec. 31. Others will have to tough it out to the end of the normal trading day before uncorking the champagne.
Stocks, including the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, will close at their regular time of 4 p.m. Eastern.
The bond market will observe a 2 p.m. recommended close from Sifma, though there is no official market close.
Oil and gold will both settle at their normal times: 1:30 p.m. for gold, and 2:30 p.m. for oil, according to NYMEX.
Currencies don't observe a closing time, but CME foreign-exchange and interest-rate futures will settle at 1 p.m.
London stock markets will close at 12:30 p.m. local time. Germany's DAX is closed all day Tuesday. About half of European stock markets will be open for a partial day Tuesday.

When a client becomes incompetent the person named as the "attorney-in-fact" in the Power of Attorney form must step in and assist with all components of the client's financial life. An attorney-in-fact handles all money matters – paying bills, investing assets, ensuring safekeeping of valuables while maintaining detailed and accurate records of all transactions. The attorney-in-fact is the incompetent person's fiduciary. What this means is that the attorney in fact owes a higher duty of care to the person that they are now assisting. The fiduciary must act reasonably and carefully. As carefully as if they were handling their own money and affairs, but more so.
I have had the privilege of serving as attorney-in-fact for many of my clients who do not have some else that the they can trust. I have managed the day-to-day issues that normally arise in a person's life such as cancelling newspaper subscriptions, changing telephone service, purchasing necessary personal items and clothing. I have also overseen the sale of homes and cars, purchased furniture, planned funerals, coordinated investments with financial advisors, reconciled tax issues with the IRS, and assisted police and insurance companies with break-ins and thefts of personal items.
The attorney-in-fact is many things to the person in need – money manager, confidant, and trusted advisor. It can be an overwhelming task particularly if the newly incompetent person did not maintain his or her affairs in an orderly manner. However, with patience and persistence an attorney-in-fact can take charge and maintain the incompetent persons affairs in a satisfactory manner. If there is not a clear plan in place regarding the financial affairs, we look for clues. We check the mail each day and look through the home for important papers. If the person handled their financial affairs exclusively online – this can be a much greater challenge. And always involves several trips to the bank for assistance from the staff to check the automatic payments and deposits.
When selecting an attorney-in-fact not only should you tell the person you have selected, you should also spend an afternoon bringing them up to date on your financial affairs so that you have truly planned for potential but not inevitable incompetency.

SharePoint server Reports and Monitoring system
SharePoint is architecture to proactively monitor lot of system and manage them. Sole purpose is to catch issues before they occur. Still if issues do occur, the system should give the administrator the capability to debug the issues with the least amount of resistance.
Lets talk about logging database. Logging collects information from all the servers and store it in 1 database. They are similar to ULS logs. ULS logs are stored in 14\logs folder collected and in event logs. It strengthens the logging database and make it a valuable tool.
Another area to concentrate on is Reporting services. These Reports are present for site collection level and they are pretty robust. Administrators utilized them as what they are searching for, and uncovers where functionality is lacking. SharePoint 2010 health monitoring jobs have the ability to uncover issues, report them, and then SharePoint is able to automatically correct the issue (in some cases).
Monitoring and reporting capabilities together makes administrator to be proactive when it comes to SharePoint farm management. These capabilities can be leveraged with other SharePoint functions such as alerts, so that the team managing the SharePoint farm should be well versed in the performance of the installation.
SharePoint 2010 logging database information:
SharePoint 2010 logging database is a major enhancement to monitoring, debugging, and protecting the health of the farm.
By default, the database is called WSS_Logging . This database should be the starting point for administrators to collect and analyze information.
ULS Logs are available at C:\Program files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Logs.
Access logging from SQL server:
- Open up SQL Server Management Studio.
- When asked for authentication, log in to the correct instance where SharePoint is running using your windows authentication credentials.
- Navigate to the WSS_Logging database and click on the plus sign to expand it.
- Under the toolbar at the top, click on the New Query button.
- In the new query window, type in the following query: Select * from RequestUsage.
- Click Execute.
Configuring what gets logged
SharePoint logging database capturing information can be modified via the Central Administration interface. The advantage of this being that the collection of information can be voluminous, which can also be the disadvantage.
Disk space, I/O, and just the amount of data needed to retain this information can become an issue. Being able to reduce the type of information that gets captured is critical to the wellness of your farm.
How to do it…
- Open the SharePoint 2010 Central Administration website.
- Click Monitoring.
- Under the Reporting section, click Configure usage and health data collection.
How it works…
The options presented in the usage and health data collection are logged to the logging database and to the ULS logs.
The health logging schedule can be modified to fit the needs (also known as Service Level Agreements) of your organization. It is important to remember that there is a hidden cost associated with the increased logging. The hidden cost is mainly in the form of storage and possibly performance.
The ULS logs have the potential to grow large. The logs can be moved to a new physical location (physical spindle), which does not contain the operating system or WFE/Application server software. The physical location reference must exist on all servers in the farm.
The location of the logs is set within Central Administration. To access the setting, go to Central Administration, click Monitoring, and then select Configure diagnostic logging. Under the Trace Log section is the Path. This contains the location of the ULS logs.
The logging information is retained for a period of 14 days by default. Using PowerShell you can change this parameter, using the following command:
Set-SPUsageDefinition -Identity <GUID> [-Enable] -DaysRetained 14
To be continued

UVA in Bhutan Study Abroad
The University of Virginia (UVA) is excited to announce its new semester study abroad program for autumn 2017, focusing on the culture, history, language, and contemplative practices in the Himalayan Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan.
Location: The Royal Thimphu College, a lovely campus in mountain forests within easy reach of the bustling capital city of Thimphu. Students will stay on campus at the Royal Thimphu College, where they will intermingle with Bhutanese students.
Program dates: July 31 to December 3, 2017
Participation limit: 25 students
Bhutan is famous for its rich Buddhist culture, pristine mountain environment, and political agenda of "Gross National Happiness." The program, UVA in Bhutan: Himalayan Buddhism, Culture and Contemplation, is a blend of teaching on Bhutanese history and culture, anthropological inquiry, contemplative studies, Buddhist civilization, fieldwork, and an optional course in Dzongkha, the Bhutanese language.
Students will experience multiple facets of modern Bhutan, from the dynamic urban setting of Thimphu to more rural environments farther afield, providing a range of encounters that complement and augment traditional classroom studies. Fieldwork will include excursions to sites of historic and contemporary significance throughout the Thimphu Valley and the wider region, including Buddhist temples and monasteries, places of artistic and cultural production, and natural settings such as parks and
Students will earn fifteen academic credits from the University of Virginia College of Arts and Sciences, with classes taught directly by Doctors James Gentry and Ana Cristina Lopes, both well known experts in Himalayan culture and Buddhism with years of experience living and teaching in the Himalayas. Instruction will thus be of the highest quality, while also drawing upon guest lectures and discussions with the wonderful faculty at Royal Thimphu College, as well as from noteworthy local residents. The program will combine on-campus classroom instruction with extensive ethnographic travel to other sites around Bhutan. The language of instruction is English, though there will be an opportunity to learn introductory Dzongkha, the national language.
The program will also take full advantage of UVA's renowned Tibet Center, which currently runs multiple programs and collaborations in Bhutan, as well as the UVA Contemplative Sciences Center, with its deep expertise in contemplative learning.
Admission decisions will be made on a rolling basis. Accepted students must commit by April 15, 2017.
This program is open to all undergraduates with at least a 2.5 GPA enrolled at any US or Canadian institution of higher learning (including community colleges), regardless of their citizenship. Unfortunately we cannot accept high school students or others not enrolled in a college or university.
Program Costs: see the program website and click on the "Budget Sheets: Fall Semester" link at the top of the page.
Note that Virginia residents who are UVA degree-seeking students are offered special financial assistance from UVA in the form of a $3,000 credit. Before opening an application, all UVA students must go through the online Education Abroad Workshop here. Some additional funding sources available to both UVA and non-UVA students are compiled here.

OK, so I attended the Roo session today at JavaOne. I got frustrated with it before and I'm more cynical than I started out, but that Ben Alex is just so darned earnest you can't help but root for the guy. Not to mention that it's worth rooting for the tool to be successful just to make my life easier.
I was pretty harsh on Roo before. I conceded that it still had promise, but I was very disappointed in the experience past the initial euphoria that comes with such a rapid development. The great thing about the tool (and others like it) is that it basically builds an application for you with very little effort. The problem can be right after that. So far in my experience, it happens without fail.
The application that it builds for you is not quite the application you want – just most of it. That's great, right? If it builds 80% of the application you only need to build the other 20%. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work that way. The 80% that's built is full of stuff you don't understand (because it was auto-generated). When I say hard to understand, I don't just mean that the code is hard to read (it often is) or that it uses a bunch of techniques that are unfamiliar to mortal developers (that's usually true, too). It's also that it is unclear how to extend it.
So Roo generates all this persistence stuff that I like, and I like the controller scaffolding, but not the jspx files. Can I delete them? Will the tool complain? If the tool doesn't complain, will something else complain when try to start the server and they aren't there? What files are safe to edit, what files should not be touched and what files can be edited with care? What about all those AspectJ files? It doesn't look like the autogenerated test does anything, but I can see that it's running 9 tests. What is it doing, exactly? I dunno – can't see the code.
If you can't figure that stuff out, you're stuck with 80% of an application that can't be finished so you're pretty close to 0% of the way to a finished application.
I left with more hope than when I entered. I got some clarification on some of those questions in my session today. It is also perfectly valid to use Roo to build 80% of your application and then remove Roo. Now you can edit whatever you like – it's just Java. You can't remove Roo automatically, but you can do it manually without too much effort. Now I've got a huge leg up on building my application.
It's too late for my current project, but my next project will get going soon and I'm going to give Roo another day in court (the GWT stuff still might not be ready for prime time). It's cheap to try.

The Ultimate Chocolate Shopping Guide
Last year's "ultimate olive oil guide" was so well received that I thought it deserved a bigger and better sequel.
While everyone else this year will be talking about the Mayan calendar, we'll be over in this corner talking about something the Mayans ever-so-intelligently loved, worshipped, and cherished like gold: chocolate.
My view of chocolate is undoubtedly passionate, yet objective. I don't think of it as a magical elixir or a — groan — "super" food. It is, however, very healthful.
Sadly, a lot of chocolate out there — and I'm talking all sorts of price ranges here — is harmful to your health, the environment, and the well-being of farmers.
I guarantee that after reading this post, you'll never shop for chocolate the same way again.
No, it isn't "too good to be true". It's a fact. Notice that I didn't say "chocolate is good for you", but that good chocolate is good for you. I'll tell you what I mean by "good chocolate" a little later, but first I want you to know what makes good chocolate healthful.
The three main fats in cocoa butter are: oleic acid, stearic acid, and palmitic acid.
- Oleic acid is a heart-healthy monounsaturated fat (the same one in olive oil!).
- Stearic acid is a saturated fat that the body converts to oleic acid.
- Palmitic acid has been shown to slightly increase HDL (healthy) cholesterol.
Cocoa is also rich in minerals like magnesium and copper, as well as antioxidants and flavonoids (healthful compounds that are neither vitamins or minerals).
Oh, and good chocolate also offers something the average American doesn't get enough of: fiber.
Now do you see why I often tell people that one of the best things they can do for their heart is to cap off their dinner with two squares of a good quality, dark (80% or higher cocoa content) chocolate? P.S.: For an especially decadent and heart-healthy treat, add one or two teaspoons of your favorite nut or seed butter between two squares of dark chocolate.
If, by the way, you find it difficult to limit yourself to a small amount of dark chocolate every day, you can still include cocoa in other ways, like adding minimally processed or nibs to oatmeal or smoothies.
As with any other food, you need to think as whole, minimally processed, and close to nature as possible. In the same way that an organic apple and an apple Pop-Tart have very little in common, the same goes for, say, raw cacao nibs and a Crunch bar.
Here are criteria that make for good chocolate; mind you, they all need to be met.
- A cocoa percentage of at least 70 percent (ideally: 80 percent or higher). The higher the cocoa content of a chocolate bar, the higher the flavonoid content and — more importantly — the lower the sugar content. Cocoa should always be listed before sugar. Unsweetened cacao nibs, raw cacao powder, and unsweetened cocoa powder are considered 100% cocoa. Neat factoid: chocolates with cocoa percentages of 70 or higher are dairy-free.
- Organic. Cocoa beans have some of the highest pesticide loads of any crop. Even more troubling, due to weak regulations in cocoa-producing countries, pesticides banned in the United States are commonly used in conventional cocoa farming.
- Fair trade. Fair trade certifications are relatively new and come bundled with a few controversies, but they are a sign that farmers are being paid fair wages — and that is a good thing.
- Slave-free. Forced child labor in cocoa farms is rampant in countries like Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire (the Ivory Coast). While you won't necessarily see seals of slave-free certification, the 'fair trade' label is usually synonymous with it. For further confirmation, this list and this handy scorecard let you know what companies make slave-free chocolate. Interesting tidbit: I don't know of any Ivory-Coast derived chocolate that is slave-free.
The idea is to get as much minimally processed cocoa in your chocolate as possible. Once added sugars, milk, dyes, artificial flavors, and waxes jump into the mix, cocoa is crowded out.
Good chocolate is not alkalized (also known as "Dutch-treated"). It's not that alkalized chocolate is "bad" for you, but rather that alkalized cocoa contains an extremely low percentage of those healthful flavonoids and antioxidants I mentioned earlier. Take a look at well-known chocolate candies and you will see "alkalized cocoa" as an ingredient in almost every single one.
Chocolate that is not organic or fair trade is also less than desirable from an environmental and human rights standpoint. We can't be perfect shoppers all the time, but we can be aware and informed when we make choices, and understand the implications those choices have.
Here is the ingredient list for a 3 Musketeers bar:
Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Skim Milk, Lactose, Milkfat, Soy Lecithin), Sugar, Corn Syrup, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil And/or Palm Oil, Less Than 2% – Cocoa Powder Processed With Alkali, Salt, Egg Whites, Artificial And Natural Flavors.
Let's break down why this is far from the type of "good" chocolate that is chock full of health benefits.
- The first ingredient is "milk chocolate", which can contain as little as 10 percent cocoa, and, at most, is composed of 40 percent cocoa. Notice how the first ingredient in the milk chocolate is sugar.
- There is additional sugar and corn syrup added to the rest of the bar. Sugar is a cardiovascular horror, and Americans eat roughly three times the recommended daily limit.
- This bar also contains hydrogenated oils. Anytime you see a processing modifier before an oil (i.e.: refined, interesterified, hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated, etc.), pass.
- Another whammy: the added-on cocoa powder is alkalized, meaning all those great flavonoids and antioxidants are gone.
Chocolate is food, so stick to the usual guidelines: keep it simple, real, and whole. Now, go savor and enjoy.

I am surprised by the lack of publicity of the Sam Edelman and American Eagle collaboration. The only reason I found out about it is because I went into an American Eagle store the past weekend because my husband was looking for a pair of shorts. The store I went to only had a limited selection but as soon as I got home, I looked it up online and sure enough, ae.com had a bigger selection. I was very excited to see the entire collection! The price point is $39.50 to $59.50 and it includes embellished flat sandals, ballet flats, wooden wedges, and espadrilles. I ended up ordering two sandals for the summer which I wrote a review about in this post and I'm already thinking about grabbing some more. I'm obsessed on how comfortable they are!
Check out the entire Spring 2012 collection below.

In the first resolution over cases involving Yasmin birth-control pills, Bayer, Germany's largest drug manufacturer will pay at least $110 million to settle over 500 product liability lawsuits alleging that the drug caused blood clots and wrongful death. This amounts to approximately $220,000 per case linking the drug to heart attack and stroke, according to officials and an elder law attorney Medicaid.
The settlement occurred after an Illinois federal judge postponed a trial so that a mediator could try to work out a settlement between the victims, their families, and the drug company. The case was set for trial for more than 11,000 lawsuits that alleged injuries caused by the birth-control pill.
Experts believe that the mediation helps the company avoid the risks and costs of litigation. Bayer has already settled 70 cases involving Yasmin. The company is also expecting future lawsuits and will continue to settle on a case-by-case basis. Yasmin one of the most popular birth control brands and yields over a billion dollars a year in profits.
Birth-control is still considered a risk to consumers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ordered Bayer and other contraceptive makers to strengthen blood-clot warnings on their products this April. According to the FDA, women on Yasmin were 74 percent more likely to suffer a blood-clot than women on other low-estrogen contraceptives. There were at least 50 deaths caused by Yasmin between 2004 and 2008.
Similar product liability claims on behalf of victims and their families can help to bring public awareness to dangerous drugs and aims to hold those companies accountable for injury and death to consumers.

Handball: IHF Emerging Nations Trophy
Posted By editor2 On June 9, 2017 @ 4:02 pm In Featured,Handball | No Comments
The International Handball Federation IHF will be organising the second competition for emerging nations in Bulgaria between the 12th and the 18th of June. The three best European teams of this championship will qualify for the second phase of the EURO2020 qualifiers.
In the first edition of the Emerging Nations Trophy that was held in Kosovo, Malta qualified for the quarter finals after finishing in second place in the group stage following wins over China and Ireland.
Most participating countries are European, while Asia will be represented by China. The competition will see teams who are emerging in international handball as well as more established nations like Turkey and Azerbaijan.
The teams are divided into four groups of four, who will play each other in a Preliminary Round with the best two teams in each group advancing to the quarter-finals.
Malta was drawn to play in group B, with all matches being played in the in the city of Veliko Tarnovo.
The team's first match will be against Great Britain and though handball is not as popular as other sports, they are fielding a very strong team. Luxemburg, favourites of winning the group, will be our second opponents, while the third match sees Malta take on Georgia.
Our national team will have to wait to know who they will face in the second round as these depend on the group standings.
For the last 2 months, under the guidance of head coach Joseph Tanti and head of delegation Joseph Attard, the players have been preparing well and no stone was left unturned by the Maltese association to ensure the team does well in this competition. The team is aiming to give a good account of itself and to represent their native country the best they can. The delegation will consist of the coach, head of delegation, together with physiotherapist Juanita Grech and 14 players.
Gauci Daniel, Harrison Liam, Rizzo Luigi – Kavallieri Mifsud Philip, DiPilato Alex, Bugeja Kurt, Naudi Peter, Gargano Damian – Aloysians Fenech Jeremy – Swieqi Phoenix Baldacchino Karl, Portelli Alan, Camilleri Darmanin Ronaldo – La Salle
Ms Marylyn Agius, local referee and MHA delegate, has been nominated by the Malta Handball Association to attend the IHF delegates course to be held in parallel to the second IHF Emerging Nations Championship. Agius is the first female candidate for the MHA that could become an IHF delegate in the near future.

Re-Animated Corpses and Body Piercing: One Night with Stuart Gordon
Greetings from Tromaville!
I've given a lot of advice to young filmmakers, inspiring them to make their own damn movies. The Make Your Own Damn Movie! DVD box set is full of my ideas and theories on filmmaking. For the Direct Your Own Damn Movie! DVD box set, I enlisted other filmmakers to contribute their expertise of filmmaking. Stuart Gordon is an expert on horror filmmaking. Right around the time I made my indelible mark on the horror genre with The Toxic Avenger, Stuart Gordon made the horror classic Re-Animator. He has also dipped his toes in another kind of horror as a writer on Honey¸ I Shrunk the Kids. While in college, he organized a stage production in which the aim was to get the audience to leave. He should have known that all he had to do was show Troma's Big Gus, What's the Fuss?, now available for download here.
Horror is a good way to start in the business. That was the advice given to me. Someone said the easiest movie to raise money for is the horror film and no matter how badly it turns out you'll probably be able to sell it to someone and your investors will get their money back. It's even truer today because horror is more popular than ever. I think that probably has something to do with 9/11. Audiences are flocking to see horror films.
One of the things I have learned is that horror is slow. Horror is about anticipation and the audience knowing that something bad is going to happen. Stretch that moment out as long as you possibly can. There are lots of shots in horror movies of people walking down hallways or opening doors or approaching bodies - those should be done slowly so that you really build up to something. The audience is just waiting for the horrific something or other to happen. John Carpenter says it's easy to scare someone, to make them jump, you know "boo," but it's moments that lead up to that "boo" that really separate the men from the boys in terms of making horror films.
I've also learned that it is the little stuff that scares you the most. Godzilla destroying Tokyo is not scary, but a guy taking a razor blade and slicing the tip of his finger is terrifying. It is the things that we can relate to that make us cringe because we can imagine what this would be like. When things get too enormous it goes beyond human comprehension.
The other thing that is really important is having characters that the audience cares about. We really have to want to see these people survive. I'm not a big fan of the Friday the 13th movies where you have these obnoxious teenagers getting bumped off one by one because you're really on the side of Jason. You want to see those kids get it and so there is no real fear in those films at all. It just becomes a question of how they're going to die. With my first horror film, Re-Animator, there is a character, Herbert West, who is this guy who invented a serum that would bring the dead back to life. He was a really difficult character for the audience to really sympathize with - he's kind of a mad man. What we really needed in this story was a normal person to interact with him, so we created the character of his roommate. We made this guy a poor kid who was at the University on a scholarship and dating the dean's daughter. He had all of these things going for him and all these things he could lose when he started teaming up with this crazy man scientist. It made him very vulnerable and it made us really want to see him succeed.
I think the biggest mistake you can make is to censor yourself. I was making a film called From Beyond. I shot a sequence involving a woman being tortured and a big nail being pounded through her tongue, and ended up cutting it out of the movie myself because I thought there was no way that it would ever be allowed on screen. I thought, "Oh, that's the most disgusting thing in the world!" Now you walk around and you see all these women with pierced tongues, and it's exactly like what I was thinking. So that was a lesson to me. Don't ever do that.
Lloyd here. I agree with Stuart. I haven't censored any movie since Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD. Nobody tells me what to do anymore... except my wife. During Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, she put a stop to filming Joe Fleishaker's unsimulated bowel movements. But aside from her, nobody tell me what to do!

Women offered 'period leave' by British firm
Bristol-based firm Coexist says it wants to "tap into its employees' natural cycle to create a happier and healthier working environment."
The company, which has 17 female members of staff and only seven male, will allow women to be more flexible with their working hours during their period, and any time off will not be treated as sick leave.
Bex Baxter, one of the directors at Coexist, said: "As a manager of staff I have seen women really suffer with their periods and I have found them doubled over in a lot of pain.
"They feel guilty and ashamed for taking time off and often sit at their desks in silence not wanting to acknowledge it. It started from there and we thought we had to see what we could do about it and try and break the last great taboo.
"Nothing like this has been done in the UK before, we believe, and if it has, it has been very small."
Baxter says she hopes the policy will actually increase productivity, and set a precedent for companies across Britain.
"Many companies are male-dominated and encourage long hours, but there is a misconception that taking time off makes a business unproductive," she said.
"This is not about employees taking more time off, but working more flexibly and efficiently around their menstrual cycle and encouraging a work-life balance."
She explained that women are naturally more productive after their periods, and less productive while menstruating.
"When women are having their periods they are in a winter state, when they need to regroup, keep warm and nourish their bodies.The spring section of the cycle, immediately after a period, is a time when women are actually three times as productive as usual."
The policy is part of the Pioneering Period Policy: Valuing Natural Cycles In The Workplace seminar, which will be held later in March. The policy is based on the work of Alexandra Pope, who created the Red School women's leadership program.
Baxter added: "It seemed a great opportunity to host an event for other businesses, which can launch their own conversation about it."

However, the zombies in Zombie Drag by Slimline games, well, they are not the brightest zombies I have come across in an iPhone game. Slimline has done a good job creating rather dumb looking zombie who you must guide through the level game play by drawing paths for the dense walking corpses. Paths may take the zombies into trees, over obstacles and onward to the finish line. The graphics in this game are very indie, but cool and the sounds are awesomely haunting and perfect for Halloween. There is an iPad version called Zombie Drag HD for you iPad folks.

New Product Launch: What's Fresh by HarvestHand
Posted on
News Release
January 17, 2015
Launch of What's Fresh! A new shopping list tool to help consumers make the most of their visit to the Wolfville Farmers' Market
The Wolfville Farmers' Market is thrilled to launch What's Fresh!, a new first-of-its-kind shopping list software tool for Farmers' Markets. Market customers can now browse for real-time information about Vendors and available Products for the upcoming Market day on their desktops or mobile devices. What's Fresh makes it easier for people to browse what's available at the farmers market market, plan meals, remember everything on their shopping list and support local businesses.
What's Fresh was designed by HarvestHand, a community-shared software development company with a vision to strengthen food and farm communities. The HarvestHand community have lead a number of local food new media projects including HarvestHand CSA Software- management software for Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) producers, F5://Food (Refresh)- a 48 hour idea lab for local new media and food solutions, and a World Map of CSA Farms.
"I am very proud of the Wolfville Farmers' Market for taking this innovative step to help deliver greater service to its customers. This tool is designed to help families plan their in-season meals and shop at the Market more effectively. We want to help them get the job done, while also enjoying the Market experience," said Market Manager, Kelly Marie Redcliffe.
"A Farmers' Market is a unique environment where every week there is a 4.5 hour window of time for over 60 vendors to offer their products with over 1000 people who are also neighbours with one another. We thought it would be great to make it easier to browse what's available at the Market from home on Friday and make up a shopping list to take with you," explained Redcliffe, and further to that. "Because we have an IT community particularly interested in building community food systems, we decided to embrace this new adventure. It has been wonderful to work with HarvestHand as they built this tool; and it is our hope we can over time make it more and more effective for us and for the Farmers' Market community as a whole."
First time users of the tool can show their What's Fresh shopping list at the Information Booth to enter to win $50 Market Dollars. The draw will take place on the last Saturday of each month for the next three months.

I haven't been feeling too good the last few weeks, so my blog got utterly neglected. But I'm back now and looking out at a sunny morning in Hamburg. Over the past few days I was out a lot on long walks and was surprised at how quickly things change in nature. It's like from one days to the next you find yourself in a completely new world.
This week will be about decorating and getting our flat ready for Christmas. Even though I'm not into the really big works, I do enjoy some old-fashioned decorating. I definately will get a nice wreath to put on the couch table. I love candles and this will replace our almost burned down one.
Also, I am starting to buy christmas presents. And while it's really easy to find something nice for some people, for others you just can't think of the right thing. I'm against buying just for the sake of buying, so this will take some time and effort ;-)
What about you? Have you already gotten in the mood for christmas?
