@Chef_Gidget was on her way to visit another World Wonder when she started to get hungry and decided to stop in Twitterville for a meal. In the mood for Chiken Ka-Bobs and a Bacon Beer, she went to #NipClub, but found their doors locked with a sign that read: Closed Until Further Notice by order of Mayor Twitmo.
"Hm. They must have had one heckuva pawty last night," she said to herself. Then she went to #AthenasDiner where @AthenaCatGoddes served the freshest fish in town, but Athena was also closed by Mayor Twitmo. "What the Friskies!" Gidget gasped.
"Mayor Twitmo closed #BrekkieClub too," said @SkeeterTheTabby from behind her.
Gidget just stared at him with her mouth open. Not her best look, but she was stunned. "Why?"
Skeeter shrugged. "We think its a control thing. You know how Twitmo shuts us down when we are having too much fun at pawties. There we are, purring and barking and ... whatever sound bunnies make... and BAM! He says we can't tweet no more."
Gidget had jumped a foot when Skeeter yelled BAM! That's why she refused to follow @Emeril Lagasse even though she was a renown chef herself. "There has to be something we can do. Do Anipals have a lawyer? Did @NerissaTheCat publish a BREAKING NEWS piece? Did @TheMooshies report this in The Mooshie Chronicles?
The way Skeeter covered his eyes with his paws sent chills up Gidget's spine. "All reporters and mewspapers have been closed by Mayor Twitmo, too. Kirsten @bdgrlaw is working on it, but until its all sorted out, we are starving!"
Just then a light breeze drifted through Twitterville. Known for her gourmet-sensitive nose, Gidget sniffed the air. Then she looked mysterious. "No worries. I have the ingredients to make Bouncy Ball Soup. Why don't I make enough to feed everyone in Twitterville?"
Skeeter twitched his ears with confusion. "But...bouncy balls are meant to be played with, not eaten."
Gidget put her paws on her hips. "I am a world renown gourmet chef. I can make anything edible. Now, bring me an iron cauldron so I can get started."
As Skeeter rolled his cauldron into Tweet Square, Gidget asked @Rockstarwalrus to fill it with water, and @SqueakyElvis aka the Bad Boys of Twitter, were put in charge of building a fire.
"Whee!" Phi spun in circle, wagging her tail. "Me run fast. Me be right back!" and off she went.
By now rumors of food had spread throughout Twitterville and hungry Anipals were leaving their sun puddles and squeaky toys and ... whatever bunnies play with ... to gather in Twit Square. @MiaandManu told anyone who would listen that they had heard about @Chef_Gidget traveling to World Wonders and read her recipes published on her brother's Wonderpurr blog, but they were still highly skeptical that she could make anything edible out of a bouncy ball.
Accustomed to being the center of attention, Gidget leaned over the bubbling cauldron and sniffed the bouncy ball broth, licking her whiskers in anticipation.
Soon Phi came running back with a large stick and proudly dropped it at Gidget's feet, wagging her tail. "Whee! Me found big stick!"
After patting Phi's face, Gidget used the stick to stir the broth, all the while pawing the aroma into her gourmet-sensitive nose. "Ahh. It's coming along nicely," she purred softly, though loud enough for @CheekyGCC2012 and @_Susie273 to hear. "This will be my finest soup ever. If only I had a carrot to make my soup extra orangey. Oh well...." She stirred the soup some more.
Meanwhile, Susie turned to @ScottyTheBunny and said, "Your breath smells like carrots. Bring one for Gidget to use in the soup to make it extra orangey."
"Go on," exclaimed Cheeky. "Hop to it!"
Excited by the idea of extra orangey soup, Scotty did a triple binky, then gathered his bunny pals, @Bilbo_the_Bunny @GenBunnyparte @BunnyNala @EstelleEsme and @BaileyBun1 to gather all the carrots they could find. Bunnies are known for overdoing it sometimes, so Gidget wasn't surprised when the herd of bunnies dropped several dozen carrots into the cauldron.
"Wonderpurr!" she cried. "This will be the bestest, orangiest soup I've ever made, and your tummies will be full as soon as I finish." She stirred the cauldron a little more, then paused to gaze into the distance as though she was remembering something. "I once made Extra Orangey Bouncy Ball Soup with carrots, but when I added a beef bone...well. The soup was fit for a queen!" She slid a sly glance at @Queen_Greta who exclaimed, "I'm a Queen! I shouldn't eat Extra Orangey Bouncy Ball Soup without a beef bone. I think I know where to find one."
Gidget twitched her whiskers. "An extra beefy, beef bone would make your soup even tastier," she purred.
"I will be right back." Greta turned to fetch, then realized she was a Queen and instead sent @Stanley_dog @PresleyBrixton @Puffy_C and @Emmett_dog to fetch all the extra beefy beef bones they could find. Soon they returned with half a cow and added it to the cauldron.
"Now we'll have a real feast," exclaimed Gidget. She leaned over the cauldron to inhale the broth. "If only..." She sighed. "Too bad."
"What?" asked Jazz @ClingyCat. "What else should go into our Extra Orangey Bouncy Ball Soup? I can bring you some bush tucker: bogong moths, witchetty grubs, lizards and snakes. Maybe even a jar of Vegemite!"
"That all sounds nommilicious," Gidget politely said while secretly shuddering at the thought of eating Vegemite, "but I was just recalling how potatoes tasted so good when added to this soup. That was a long time ago, however, when Anipals had food. Now, if I had even one mushroom, or a chicken leg, or a turkey leg... Even a handful of brown rice would make this soup the tastiest, bestest ever Extra Orangey Bouncy Ball Soup in the world!"
Anipals scattered in all directions to raid their secret food stashes, hidden when Mayor Twitmo closed #NipClub, #BrekkieClub and #AthenasDiner. Soon the cauldron overflowed with meat and veggies, and even a couple tablespoons of Vegemite that @ClingyCat sneaked in. And when @Chef_Gidget pronounced it done, she scooped out the orange bouncy ball, tucked it inside the silken bag and put it back in her pocket.
Having smelled the delicious soup from his office high atop Twitterville Towers, Mayor Twitmo arrived with an extra huge bowl for his own portion of soup. However, the crowd around the cauldron was so thick he coudln't elbow his way through, and so he had to get in line. Since he was the last one in line, by the time he arrived at the cauldron, the soup was gone.
"Too bad, so sad," said Gidget, cleaning her whiskers of the Extra Orangey Bouncy Ball Soup. "If only #NipClub or #AthenasDiner were open. I could give them my recipe to make more. Maybe @SkeeterTheTabby could even serve some at #BrekkieClub. But... of course those fine eateries are closed."
The Mayor turned bright green and said, "No! I want them reopened. Quick! Give them your recipe so I may have my big bowl filled with Extra Orangey Bouncy Ball Soup."
But everyone was so full of soup, they wandered off to find sun puddles and soft beds to take a nice long nap, leaving Mayor Twitmo with his tummy growling and mouth drooling. Used to not waiting for what he wanted, the Mayor reached into his pocket for money. "Here," he said to Gidget. "I will buy that orange bouncy ball off you and will have my staff make me my own soup."
"You can't have it," said Gidget. "Now, I must be on my way to explore the World Wonders."
"Please!" the Mayor begged, throwing himself at her feet. "Please! I must have Extra Orangey Bouncy Ball Soup."
Gidget stepped back so the mayor's drool wouldn't hit her paw. "I would willingly take your money for my pawsome orange bouncy ball so you can make soup for the rest of your life and never go hungry, but the problem is, the ball won't make soup for anyone in the government. It makes soup only for the general public. So... Buh Bye!"
"Wait," shouted the Mayor over the roar of his growling tummy. "I will give up my office. I will resign from Mayor of Twitterville." He pointed to @MinnieForMayor. "You've been running for office for over thirteen hundred tweets. Here! The job is yours." He gave his mayor badge to Minnie, who instantly glowed with mayoral magnificence.
Then Twitmo thrust a huge wad of cash into Gidget's paws. "Now, give me the orange bouncy ball so I can eat soup the rest of my life."
Gidget tossed him the silken bag containing the ball.
"Is this really happening," asked Minnie. "Am I really Mayor of Twitterville?" With long time supporters congratulating her, Minnie proclaimed May 29th Official Orange Bouncy Ball Soup Day. "Though sadly, now that Ex-Mayor Twitmo has the ball, we will never again enjoy Extra Orangey Bouncy Ball Soup."
Gidget pocketed a few bills, then handed the rest of the cash over to @DanaPixie for charity donations. "Actually, that ball loses its flavor after one soup. However..." She pulled a white athletic sock out of her pocket. "There is nothing better than my award-winning Tube Sock Steak."

Following a $130 million transformation, the Rosewood London (www.rosewoodhotels.com) swung open its immense wrought iron gates last October to reveal a refined modern hotel that honors its belle epoque roots. Guests entering the 1914 structure on High Holborn pass through a grand carriageway and Edwardian courtyard before arriving at the arched entryway, where a pavonazzo marble staircase rises seven stories beneath a 166-foot-high cupola. Antique mirrors, leather wingback chairs, and lacquer case goods decorate the 306 guest rooms, which include what is perhaps London's most impressive accommodation: The 6,318-square-foot Grand Manor House Wing features six bedrooms (each with its own Italian-marble bathroom), a private entrance and elevator, and its own postal code.
The Rosewood's dining options will soon include a brasserie-style eatery and an adjoining delicatessen. For now, guests can enjoy Indian dishes and European-style stews at the hotel's club-like bar and restaurant, which evokes a classic English gentlemen's club with herringbone wood floors, midcentury furnishings, and a library of more than 1,000 antique books.

Premier Kathleen Wynne says the need to improve transit in the Toronto area shouldn't hit a roadblock because of differences between her and Mayor Rob Ford.
Speaking to a group of business and civic leaders Thursday about smart growth, Wynne said the discussion is bigger than her or any politician.
"Every time you make this about me versus the mayor . . . or one politician against another, the conversation derails and we find groups pitted against one another and that's not helpful," Wynne told the luncheon meeting attended by about 300.
It is well known that Wynne and Ford have polar opposite views on how transit should be paid for. Wynne favours revenue tools, such as a gasoline tax and or tolls, while the mayor looks to the provincial and federal governments to help carry the financial burden.
"I believe that you should demand that all leaders tell you their plans, all leaders talk about what their plan is going to be, to be able to build transit, to build a sustainable city. It's not personal, it's about our vision for the future," she said.
Wynne told the crowd she laments the fact the transit debate is often reduced to taxes or tolls. She quickly added, however, she's not about to "back down" from her position because it might be unpopular.
Wynne also noted that in order to sell transit improvements outside Toronto, the municipalities involved have to be reassured that it's not just a downtown Toronto discussion. She acknowledged she is sometimes accused of being too Toronto focused.
"We need to make it matter outside of Toronto . . . it can't be seen as a discussion that only matters to downtown Toronto. We have to engage people across the region."

A ten point pledge of our own
Filed: Wednesday, 28th December 2016
By: Staff Writer
In the wake of the numerous issues that have beset West Ham United's move to Stratford, KUMB readers have created their own 'ten point pledge' for the Board of West Ham United FC.
The ten points, which we are asking the Board to comply with, cover a range of subjects designed to ease what has already proved to be a difficult migration process and enhance the supporter's experience of the club's new ground.
None of the points raised are beyond the realms of possibility (although point 3 would require considerable financial investment) and all are made with the aim of uniting the club's fractured fanbase and strengthening the relationship between supporters and the Board.
Our ten point plan is as follows:
1. Surround the ground with local vendors - selling food/programmes/memorabilia as per Green Street - to give the surrounding area 'a West Ham feel' and to make it appear more homely. Consider adding WHUFC-related signage around the stadium and on the approach from the station.
2. Make a concerted effort to re-employ as many former Boleyn Ground stewards as possible on the same terms they enjoyed previously (including the same rates of overtime and a London living wage). Any other stewards should receive adequate training and be 'fan friendly'.
3. Replace the temporary lower tier with genuine, retractable seating, as promised by the club in their pre-move communications, with stands that are closer to the pitch and allow the concourse TVs to show live footage once again.
4. Offer the Supporters' Club, which is intrinsically linked to the club via both historical financial contributions and the Hammer of the Year award, a new home close to the new stadium.
5. Re-house the occasional visitors and day-trippers (those taking advantage of the Thomas Cook offers or Newham Council employees and their guests) in the upper tier and allocate the TBL seats next to the away fans to season ticket holders, as per the Boleyn Ground. This will also help to generate a better atmosphere.
6. Put the home fans first! Allow permanent access to all nearby overground/tube stations and ensure away fans leave last, if it necessary to prevent both factions leaving simultaneously.
7. Provide both recognisable singing and family enclosures at the new stadium and an accurate, up to date, seating plan.
8. Provide a notable increase in the number of shuttle buses running from Stratford to the stadium for the benefit of those supporters experiencing difficulty with the lengthy walk and make the drop-off points for travelling fans safer/more accessible.
9. Employ additional Supporter Liaison Officers in line with other Premier League clubs to act as fan representatives. (West Ham currently employ one, most PL clubs have at least five whilst Arsenal employ a team of 20+.)
10. Treat the fans with respect and agree to engage with us - and not just those who share your vision of a 'brand' new club - on a regular basis. If you are intent of banning supporters, for whatever reason, publish a Code of Conduct that we may adhere to.
These were the main points discussed, although supporters discussed a whole raft of potential improvements - all of which you may find on the following KUMB Forum thread.

Research, Development & Extension
Research, Development & Extension (RD&E) makes up 55% of Gardiner Dairy Foundation's Investment Portfolio, informed by our current Strategic Direction 2018-2021. Our approach is to invest a meaningful amount into a small number of well targeted projects, generally as a co-investor.
ImProving Herds
Recipient Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport & Resources
Lead Professor Ben Hayes
Partner organisations Dairy Australia, Australian Dairy Herd Improvement Scheme, National Herd Improvement Association, Holstein Australia, French National Institute for Agricultural Research and the Scottish Rural College
ImProving Herds is the Gardiner Dairy Foundation's flagship investment project into animal performance. In line with the national RD&E framework, 'Dairy Moving Forward' - this project is focused on Animal Performance and aims to improve rates of genetic gain by demonstrating the value of genetics and herd improvement.
Genetic improvement is a major driver of profit and productivity in the Australian dairy industry. Demonstrating that herd improvement, including genetic improvement and herd testing, improved profit was a key goal recognised by the Herd Improvement Strategy 2020.
The project aims to demonstrate that making profitable herd decisions can be easy for farmers and advisors by testing the economic efficacy of tools and systems that reduce complex science into simple, data driven practice. Using dairy farm monitor methodology, the relationship between genetic merit - as measured by the ADHIS indices - and profit will be tested on 25 herds. The results will then be communicated back to farmers and advisors through extension activities.
Best practise extension will be a key part of the project. It will use 'innovation networks' among farmers, consultants, milk processors, the financial sector, researchers and other service providers within the project. It is anticipated that the project will generate a sense of excitement and respect for genetic improvement which could add an extra $66 m to farmer profit over 20 years.

Taking Stock and Feeding Pastures for Profit
Partner Organisation Dairy Australia
The milk price drop in April 2016 challenged the dairy community at all levels.
The industry needed to respond. As an independent and flexible supporter of the dairy industry, Gardiner Dairy Foundation were able to move quickly to be the first organisation to answer the call, by contributing $1.4m to the state-wide, collaborative industry response package that ultimately reached $11.4m.
Gardiner Dairy Foundations funding is making important programs including Taking Stock and Feeding Pasture for Profit accessible to all Victorian dairy farmers, helping facilitate the roll-out of Dairy Australia's Tactics for Tight Times, which is now well underway.
Of our total $1.4m contribution, $900k will help support Taking Stock. This allows Victorian dairy farmers to have a one-on-one consultation to work through a financial budget, as well as a feed budget, free of charge. This is critical information for making a plan to get through the season.
Gardiner Dairy Foundation is also contributing $280k to Feeding Pastures For Profit (FPFP) The FPFP course is not new. Indeed, 1400 farmers have taken part since it started in 2004. FPFP has been estimated to benefit farmers who participate by $43k per annum. Gardiner Dairy Foundation funding will support Victorian dairy farmers to participate, free of charge, in a one-day course and enable an update of the course material.
After what has been described as a crisis for dairy, milk companies have announced their prices for 2016/2017. Many dairy farmers are reviewing income projections and making plans to get through a season with tough terms of trade. We encourage all Victorian dairy farmers to use the industry tools available to them, and enrol for Taking Stock and FPFP.

Investment in Feedbase
Partner organisations Dairy Australia
Feedbase management is a core component of dairy farming, with feed costs comprising approximately 50% of the costs for farm businesses. It involves the challenges of managing pastures and forages across variable climatic conditions, volatile markets, cows at different stages of lactation and using various supplementary feeding options. Feedbase decisions are inherently complex but critically important. Despite the economic importance and the significant past investment in feedbase research, development and extension (RD&E), practical measures of performance have not improved on many farms over recent years.
Gardiner Dairy Foundation and Dairy Australia are preparing a substantive investment to unlock the outcomes made possible by past RD&E and achieve practice change that demonstrably increases farm feedbase performance.
This investment is designed in a phased process, commencing from the Feedbase think tank workshop in late 2015. The aim of the think tank was exploring approaches and key issues to incorporate into the design of the projects next phase - a farmer engagement and survey project to be carried out in 2016/2017.
The resulting report and study findings will be utilised to guide priorities for Dairy Moving Forward and future investments in projects to enhance the adoption of practices that improve feedbase performance.
We look forward to the practice change investment beginning in 2018, after this staged project is completed throughout 2017.
Social Sustainability in Dairying Communities Impacted by the Murray-Darling Basin Plan
Recipient Monash University
Lead Professor Margaret Alston OAM
Partner Organisations Australian Research Council
Through research with people in dairy communities in the proposed Murray-Darling Basin Plan, this project will closely examine social sustainability and identify social supports to enhance positive adaptation and individual community resilience in the Murray-Darling Basin.
The proposed Basin Plan to reallocate water will have significant social consequences impacting disproportionately on smaller, agriculturally dependent communities. This research will further develop a conceptual framework addressing limits to adaptation in communities affected by environmental crises, provide social policy advice and ultimately help to build more resilient communities.
Having conducted interviews with high-level representatives of key stakeholders, the next phase of investigation will be to form focus groups for conducting interviews within the dairy communities in the Murray Darling Basin.

Wait a minute here boyz... The mighty Gheenoe is one fine vessel. I just bought my second one last weekend! On my first (which I bought used) I have 15 HP. jOHNSON. The boat literally flies and can go in 4 inches of water. Even less on a full plane. I take it with me all over, especially in the Everglades National Park. I can go where the most expensive flats boats fear to tread! I even fared through 4 ft seas from the East Cape Canal to Flamingo (Southern most point in mainland FL). Although I would never do it again, the mughty Gheenoe made it. Twas a trip my freind and I will never forget. That model was made in the 70's. The one I bought this past weekend is only a few years old with a 6hp mariner. Suffice to say I love my little boat(s). Cheers

When I was contemplating how to write a post on legal TV shows, something dawned on me: Aside from delightful Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler-filled SVU re-runs, I don't really watch legal TV shows. Cops shows? Sure. I live to see what cheesy one-liner will end the opening scene of CSI:Miami. You know, the one Horatio will say right before you hear this. Sitcoms? No prob. Nothing and no one brings me quite the same joy that Ron Swanson can. But legal TV shows have never really scratched any of my itches (aside from a brief tryst I had with The Practice back in high school). That said, I did some digging and found a few legal TV shows that both you and I might want to give a shot in the New Year (assuming they get/got renewed).

Overall office vacancy in DFW is now at just over 18 percent — one of the lowest levels of empty space in almost a decade.

After the success of Indian Premier League (IPL) the franchise based sports leagues have become hot properties of Indian sports. We have seen similar kinds of leagues in Hockey, Badminton, Kabaddi and now Football became the latest sports to join this trend.
Football in India is like Cricket in United States of America (USA), where lot of people follow the game but not many concerned about their own country's performance. In a diversified country like India it is not easy to attract eyeballs without any publicity stunt. And in this country publicity comes from two sources, Bollywood and Cricket.
When International Management Group (IMG) and Reliance merged together to shape this much awaited league, they knew very well only typical hardcore football connections won't craft this event a big hit. They needed immense promotion for their newly created brand ISL.
From their association with Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in IPL, IMG had already tasted success in similar project. So to serve their purpose, the organisers decided to nurture the IPL concept of Cricketainment (Cricket + Entertainment) and created a modified concept-Focritainment (Football+Cricket+Entertainment).
Among the current eight teams of ISL, seven have either any cricket connection or bollywood connection or even both. Delhi Dynamos is the only team which is an exception in this regard. Their main attraction is Del Piero, the World cup winning Italian footballer and a Juventus legend.
Amongst other seven teams, the North East United, Mumbai City FC and FC Pune City do-not have any cricketing tie-ups. They have Bollywood stars like, John Abraham and Ranbir Kapoor on their ranks.
So let's have a look at the other four ISL teams which have some cricket connections.
Atletico de Kolkata: The Kolkata-based team's co-owner is former Indian captain and undoubtedly the most famous sportsperson of Kolkata, Sourav Ganguly. An avid football lover, Ganguly was probably one of the first cricketers who decided to associate with this football venture. For Kolkata it's a double gain, their favourite son with their favourite sport. What more can the Atletico de Kolkata fans ask for?
Kerala Blasters: Sachin Tendulkar, the most popular sporting legend of this country co-owns the Kerala team of ISL. Kerala is known for its football culture, but Sachin's popularity in the country and in the world will earn this team some more fan-base outside its catchment area too.
Chennaiyin Fc: Indian Captain MS Dhoni's association with the city of Chennai is quite known to all. His heroics for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL and Champion's League T20 made him popular son of this city. And Football is one of Dhoni's favourite games. He was a goalkeeper in his school days and whenever Dhoni finds time he plays this game. Don't be surprised if you see Dhoni playing football with the Chennaiyin FC players in one of the practice sessions. Apart from Dhoni this team has Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan as a co-owner too.
FC Goa: Virat Kohli, the star Indian batsman co-owns the Goa-based team. Goa's love for football is known to everyone. But now with Kohli in their ranks, their marketing strategy will be much more equipped.

We see people posting on this forum asking for help in getting their children started in astronomy. What telescope should they buy? What books should they get? Where can they learn about astronomy. They don't want to spend too much because the kids may lose interest quickly. So we advise them as best we can.
I was having a private message exchange with someone on this topic and what I have posted below evolved out of that discussion so I share it here. But you may have a different approach and I would love to hear it. We could build a resource here that could help parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and friends who want to get the kids involved in astronomy.
Offered for your consideration
Children have short attention spans are easily distracted and can move from interest to interest quickly. So many introductory telescopes are given as gifts only to be put in the back of the closet after a week or two. This plan is intended to avoid that.
There is a base assumption that an adult will be involved, at least in the beginning, and we want to enable the children to share this experience with friends or siblings. Sitting alone, studying charts and books and observing the Orion Nebulae may sound good to us but probably not to our children, nieces and nephews or grandchildren.
I have set a starting budget of $200 or less. This is focused on 6 year olds to 16 year olds but applies equally to getting older kids and adults engaged. For many, hearing they need to spend a lot of money to get started in astronomy can be a turn off before they even take a look. You can substitute other products where you like and you can do this in phases so that it doesn't all have to happen at once. Some for Christmas and some for the next birthday works too.
The other part of the plan is to provide introductory tools that are not exclusively used in astronomy. Having these address more than astronomy provides a way for the kids to get to know how to use telescopes and binoculars in ways that are not exclusive to astronomy. This also addresses the concern that if we spend a bunch of money and they are not interested in astronomy the money has been wasted.
Let's see how this strikes you.
Binoculars - Binoculars are a great place to start. They are fun and intuitive, even for young children. They can be used for astronomy, bird watching, sports and all sorts of things. Getting the child engaged with the tool is just as important as getting them engaged with the subject. I have listed 3 different binoculars that are low cost but of a quality that will enable, not frustrate the kids. The intent is to match the size of thebinoculars to the size and ability of the child. Clearly a 12 year old canhandle larger binoculars than a 6 year old. First binoculars don't have to be expensive. My 10X50s cost $20 and I use them all the time.
Celestron 7X35 - $35 - Perhaps 6-10 year old
Celestron 8X40 - $35 - Perhaps 8 to 12 year old
Celestron 10X50 - $35 - Perhaps 10 years and older
So, one pair of binoculars well matched to the child. I will provide activities below to support their use.
Small telescope - I have selected a travel scope rather than a dedicated astronomy scope. This will encourage both daytime and night time use. I have selected the 70 mm Celestron Travel Scope but there are many other offerings that are suitable for daytime and night time use. It is low cost, flexible, compact and portable. This will provide wide FOV to provide context, but has enough aperture to see the brighter DSOs, like the Pleiades or the Orion Nebulae, and high enough magnification for planets and the moon. Many of the things you might look at in binoculars can be seen here but at higher magnification. In addition it is something that could be handled by a child as young as 8 with a minimal amount of physical help and a 12 year old should be able to easily handle this on their own. It is easy to take on trips for family fun and stores away in its own backpack.
Celestron 70 mm travel scope - $85- Included eyepieces offer 20X and 40X with wide field view. A step up from binoculars.
https://www.astronom...rm=travel scope
Barlow - Optionally add a low cost 3X barlow lens for higher magnification. I have this one. Now you have 60 and 120X with the standard eyepieces which should be well within the capability of the 70 mm aperture for the moon and planets.
http://www.amazon.co...=3x barlow lens
Laser pointer for adult use only - This can help you point out things like the Orion Nebulae or the Pleiades to help the kids find them in the sky. I use it when I am doing group presentations or when I am introducing friends to astronomy. You can also use this, strapped onto the scope, to help you target the scope at a visible target. They are extremely helpful but I would not hand them to a child.
Observing with friends, kids, visitors - The Wow factor of the ZOOM -
completely optional - read the report - $75
Group activity - Now you have two items, binocular and scope, which can be shared with parent and child, brother and sister, or allow multiple children to participate without the "waiting on line" that kids hate. You can have a star party and get their friends involved. You can invite them to look at the Pleiades with the binoculars. Cool! Now look at the Pleiades through the scope. Multiple adults or children can be involved simultaneously. Use the binocular like a spotter for the telescope. And the binocular can probably go in the travel scope pack for travel and storage.
Turn Left at Orion - $19 just one of may possible first books
http://www.amazon.co... at ori,aps,137
Today's kids are very computer savvy so for their computer we have:
http://www.stellarium.org/ Probably the most useful tool. Creates a planetarium in the computer that shows you the night sky as you would see it at your location today, right now, at this hour. You can look at Stellarium then walk out side and see the same thing. I use it almost everyday. Put it on your laptop and compare the screen to the sky.
www.tonightssky.com - You use this to develop a target list.
Here is a post about how to Tonight's Sky to create target lists that are appropriate to your interests and your equipment.
SkEye - This is for a smart phone or tablet. Available on Android and I presume Apple as well. Point the phone at the sky and it will show you the stars that are there, give you their names and things about them. Really cool. They will LOVE this.
EXPAND THE VALUE OF THE BINOCULARS AND THE TELESCOPE - Birds
Both the binoculars and the travel scope can be used for daytime activities so they are not restricted to astronomy as a more dedicated astronomy telescope might be. They can use them for viewing birds and boats and sports. They are light and travel easily on vacations. If they never really get involved in astronomy the binoculars and the travel scope can still be supportive of other things that will interest them as they grow. And perhaps birds or the like will be of more interest at first. This will help them gain experience with binoculars and a telescope that can be leveraged later to introduce astronomy.
So, if you want to expand the appeal let's add bird watching to the starter package. Most kids would LOVE that. They can watch the birds in the yard, go into the woods or just walk the neighborhood and admire the birds. Set-up or build a bird house or a bird feeding stand in the yard. Use the spotting scope and the binoculars to watch the birds.
When my girls where young they were fascinated by birds. We had a book and a chart by the door and a bird feeder in the yard and they learned the names, the calls and such. Keep the binoculars available or keep the travel scope set up and directed toward a bird house or a feeder and they will get to know these tools as they learn about birds. Watch for the eggs to hatch.
I think we had this poster on the wall by the back door.
http://www.amazon.co...rds=bird poster
This might be good books to consider: Backyard Birds (Field Guides for Young Naturalists)
http://www.amazon.co...ng for children
Backyard Bird Watching for Kids
http://www.amazon.co...ng for children
Now you have a daytime use for the gifts and a night time use for the gifts. Your child might love astronomy right away. Or they may love birds. Or maybe they will enjoy binoculars for sports. Or the travel scope for looking at boats and ships on the lake or in the harbor. No matter what gets their attention first you are getting them engaged in a new activity and they are becoming familiar with the use of these observation tools.
What did we spend?
Binoculars $35
Travel Scope - $85
Barlow - $12
Laser pointer - $5
Book - $19
$156 - well under our $200 budget
Add something about birds - maybe another $30 so perhaps $186 gets you there and you are now giving them two hobbies and a path to others.
Later their use can be expanded and your initial investment leveraged to keep them engaged as they grow. And of course there are local clubs or school activities that can increase their engagement. If the sky does not interest them today, that's OK. Perhaps it will interest them tomorrow Offered for your consideration. Spend more time with children if you want to remain young.

Let's end the week with a good news---Janet Jackson is pregnant!
The singer, who postponed her world tour last month to plan a family, is pregnant a couple of weeks before turning 50.
Entertainment Tonight was first to report the news, while a source told E! News that Jackson is in her second trimester of pregnancy and that she and husband Wissam Al Mana have been working with a fertility specialist.
Jackson's camp hasn't confirmed the pregnancy, but is it coincidence that her new single, released earlier this week, is called "Dammn Baby"?
Jackson performed at Chastain Park Amphitheatre in September. She was slated to return to the market with a show at Philips Arena in March, which was postponed because of surgery until Aug. 7. That show was nixed with the rest of her 2016 tour.
Well, that's the way love goes, right, Janet? Congratulations!
Queen Bey is unstoppable!
Beyoncé's visual album Lemonade will debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, Billboard reports. This milestone makes Lemonade Beyoncé's sixth album to reach the top of the charts.
Amazing, isn't it!
Lemonade sold 653,000 equivalent album units (which now includes streams) in its first week (ending April 28th), making it the biggest album in terms of sales so far this year, according to Billboard. But then there's Drake, who also released an album this past week, and sold a massive 600,000 copies in a single day. Beyoncé's numbers are probably lower than Drake's, at least in part, because she didn't sell her album on its release day, and it was a Tidal exclusive.
Still, Beyoncé is the only artist whose first six albums (2013's self-titled, 2011's 4, 2008's I Am... Sasha Fierce, 2006's B'Day, and 2003's Dangerously In Love) have not only reached the No. 1 slot, but debuted at it. These first six albums also make up Beyoncé's entire discography so far.
Well done, Beyoncé!

This is why we love our 8-hour sleep everyday.
Prince's brother in law , Maurice Phillips, claimed that the legendary singer worked for 154 hours straight without sleep in the days before he was found dead inside his Paisley Park estate.
Speaking after a private family service at the estate, Mr Phillips said: "He worked 154 hours straight. I was with him just last weekend. He was a good brother-in-law." Prince was found collapsed in a lift at Paisley Park by staff members on Thursday.
Prince was found collapsed in a lift by staff members on Thursday morning, more than 12 hours after he was last seen alive when he was dropped off at Paisley Park. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death after authorities said they had "no reason to believe" Prince committed suicide.
There has been speculation he overdosed in the days before his death. Employees at the Electric Fetus record shop in Minneapolis said the musician appeared to be "pale" and "weak" when he visited five days before his death. Max Timander, who works at Electric Fetus, told the Press Association: "Everyone I've talked to on that Saturday said he looked kind of pale and he was not totally looking in the best shape as he normally is."
Prince's body has been cremated and the "final storage" of his remains will be private, his publicist Yvette Noel-Schure said.
A cause of death may not be released for several weeks.
Prince's Paisley Park home will be turned into a museum as a lasting memorial for his fans, the star's brother-in-law has said.

Throwing a party and don't know what what theme to do? Here's a brilliant tip from the "hostess with the most-est" also known as the "vainest party hostess of them all", Mariah Carey---ask your guests to come as you!
No, seriously. We're actually thinking of stealing the idea ourselves for our next HOT party. Everyone should come up as a front cover of Hot! Wouldn't that be fab?
Or maybe not.
Well, while in Europe for her Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour, the singer celebrated at an 18th-century Italian villa along [Giada De Laurentiis voice] Lake Como, and forced all 40 of her guests to wear their best Mariah Carey outfit.
"Even the men dressed like Mariah. But Mariah went as her alter-ego, Bianca, and sported a jet-black wig," an "insider" told "Page Six."
For all the Mariah fans out there, don't worry. Your idol isn't losing her mind just yet. The party night was recorded for Carey's upcoming eight-part E! docuseries, Mariah's World. Yup, it's all showbiz, babes.

So, Chris Brown finally addressed his viscous attack on Rihanna the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards.
In an new documentary entitled, Welcome To My Life, the 26-year old apologised for the incident and tried to pull the viewers' heartstrings to feel sorry for him.
The trailer for Welcome To My Life has been released, and sees stars including Usher and Rita Ora talking about Chris' stratospheric rise to fame as a teenager.
Brown, riding high on the success of songs including Run It and With You, started dating Riri in 2008, with Chris saying in the doc: "Like real life rock stars… it was like a fairytale."
He then goes on to say in the clip: "I went from being on top of the world, with number one songs, being kind of like America's sweetheart to being public enemy number one."
Addressing the assault on Rihanna, the singer is heard saying: "I felt like a f***ing monster. I was thinking about suicide and everything else."
As to whether Rihanna gave him blessings to talk about the incident in the film, an insider confirmed that the Bajan beauty actually did, gave a yes, to tell his side of the story to the public.
"She knew about the documentary. Chris told her he was considering doing a documentary and that he would be talking about that nightmare night," an insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
"At first, she was surprised he wanted to go public with this, she cautioned him that he had to be mentally and emotionally prepared to go back and relive it.
However, he reassured her that this was something good, something he wanted to do. She supported him, and still supports him. She's proud of how far he's
come and understands his reason for going forward, protecting Royalty. Chris has her blessings."
Good for you, Rihanna!
It seems like The Cheryl - Liam loveteam is unstoppable. In fact, Liam may just have earned a thumb's up from Cheryl's mum!
Liam Payne 22, and Cheryl Versini- Fernandez 32 (is she changing her name again soon?), looked very much in love as they headed out on a romantic dinner date in London on Wednesday evening.
The couple held hands as they put on their first public display of affection since announcing they got together. And guess who joined them in their dinner date? Yes, that's right--her mother, Joan Callaghan.
Social media was quick to conclude that Joan is pleased to have Liam as Cheryl's new toyboy boyfriend, saying she has the final say in all of the X-Factor judge's relationships.
Cheryl of course hit back to these claims and wrote on her Twitter:
"While I am extremely close to my Mam and respect her entirely, she does not and never has had any influence in any of my relationships.
"As a 32-year-old woman I make my own decisions and choices and take full responsibility for them."
Okay Cheryl. We just hope this one's a keeper.
What's your thoughts about Cheryl-Liam relationship? Let us know via FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

As explained by Ronald Coase, transaction costs are the costs associated with discerning a price on a given exchange. This article conceptualizes the international tax regime as a political and legal system striving to address transaction cost challenges, and claims it has an uneven record. On the one hand, the international tax regime lowers transaction costs and hence promotes global economic growth. It does this by facilitating credible government commitments to ensure that the same cross-border profits are not taxed twice by two countries. Multinational firms are thus protected against the risk that their cross-border activities will be unduly deterred by taxation, which encourages more global economic activities.On the other hand, governments are unable to offer credible commitments that they can effectively address other important international tax policy concerns. First, despite ongoing reform efforts governments are not able to offer reasonably reliable promises that they will inhibit aggressive international tax planning that dilutes revenues in countries like the United States. Second, the international tax regime affords governments opportunities to develop their own policy solutions (such as the 2010 U.S. anti-tax evasion initiative to create a global tax information reporting system through the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and thus governments can renege on earlier promises to abide by traditional international tax norms.The article includes a tremendously interesting section on "Breaking Commitments through Unilateralism," in which Prof. Cockfield discusses the US adoption of FATCA and how this legislation violated international tax norms as well as circumvented longstanding international commitments under existing treaties. Prof. Cockfield is optimistic that despite its faults, FATCA could help lead the world to global automatic information sharing. I am very much less optimistic because of the grave imbalance of resources and the high transaction costs he describes, and because I view the intergovernmental agreements that purport to commit the US to greater information exchange as aspirational at best.
In the conclusion, Cockfield sums up the current status quo of global tax governance:
The fact that the ITR [International Tax Regime] evolved as a largely noncooperative government game is understandable given the desire on behalf of governments to preserve political control over their tax systems. Nevertheless, by eschewing its traditional reliance on limited bilateral and multilateral cooperation, the recent U.S. initiative through FATCA to create a global tax reporting system to address tax evasion concerns — a system that operates in contravention of the formal and informal rules of the ITR — shows another limit of the ITR as a projector of reasonably reliable commitments. In a noncooperative game without any binding multilateral rules, governments may be tempted to break their promises to follow international tax norms in order to pursue their own domestic policy goals.
...The analysis in this article has shown how, depending on how the context affects the ability of governments to exchange credible commitments, the ITR lowers or raises transaction costs. Thus, it disagrees with the tentative claim that, in the long run, international taxation will find its most transaction-cost-efficient governance structure. This conclusion is consistent with the view of North that, unconstrained by market forces, "the political market has been, and continues to be, one in which the actors have an imperfect understanding of the issues affecting them and equally in which the high costs of transacting prevent the achievement of efficient solutions."
