• In India, leaves are used traditionally for bronchitis, asthma, diarrhea, epilepsy, nephro-cystolithiasi, fever, indigestion and cough.
Recent uses and preparations
Respiratory ailments like cough, asthma and bronchitis: Squeeze juice of the leaves. Take one teaspoon every hour for adults. For children above 2 years old, 3 to 4 teaspoons a day.
• Antioxidant, anticlastogenic and radioprotective effect of Coleus aromaticus on Chinese hamster fibroblast cells (V79) exposed to gamma radiation: Study results establsihed antioxidant, anticlastogenic and radioprotective activities and suggests a potential for chemoprevention.
• Mast cell stabilization property of Coleus aromaticus leaf extract in rat peritoneal mast cells: Study showed stabilization of mast cells in rat mesenteric tissue and suggests further studies into mast cells with its role in Type 1 hypersensitivity-mediated diseases like asthma and rhinitis.
• Antimicrobial Activity Of Coleus aromaticus (Benth) Against Microbes Of Reproductive Tract Infections Among Women : Results suggests the herb could be an ideal choice for treating reproductive tract infections.
Oregano (Scientific name: Origanum vulgare) is also known as Wild Marjoram, Mountain Mint, Origanum, Wintersweet and Winter Marjoram. This erectly spreading plant has strong aromatic characteristics, with leaves and stems that are fleshy. The leaves of oregano are heart-shaped, with toothed edges, and which, grow for up to 9 meters in length. In other countries, the plant is primarily used as a culinary ingredient. However, in countries like the Philippines, Oregano is a known herbal medicine for its strong anti-oxidant properties. Oregano contains a rosmarinic acid compound, thymol, and carvacrol that are responsible for its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. Oregano also contains flavinoids, triterpenoids, sterols, vitamin C, and vitamin A. Its anti-bacterial properties have been proven by recent studies to treat infections of the reproductive tracts, and which make it ideal to be given to women who have just given birth.
The volatile oils in oregano and its properties are believed to be responsible for slowing the process of spoilage of food and thus minimizing the risk of ingesting harmful bacteria, parasites and fungi.
The anti-oxidant properties of oregano helps fight free radicals in the body that cause cellular damage and accelerate ageing. Free radicals are believed to be involved with many degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis, atherosclerosis and heart diseases, to name a few.
The most useful parts of this plant are its leaves. The extracts and juices of such are used for asthma, dyspepsia, chronic coughs, bronchitis, and rheumatism. Ear aches have also been proven to be cured by the infusion prepared from its leaves. The leaves relieve painful swellings, boils, and sprains, when their poultices are applied directly to the affected area.
Health Benefits of Oregano:
• Good for cough and cold relief
• Helps prevent degenerative arthritis
• Has Anti-aging properties
• Helps relieve rheumatism and osteoarthritis
• Bronchitis herbal remedy
• Ease asthma attacks
• Relieves upset stomach
• Treatment of urinary tract problems
• Relief for dyspepsia or indigestion
• Healing wounds, insect bites & stings
• Cure for sore throat
• Avoid infections caused by childbirth by taking decoctions of the leaves by the recent mother.
• For general good health
Preparation of Oregano Leaves:
• Boil one cup of fresh leaves in 3 cups of water for 10 to 15 minutes. Drink half a cup 3 times a day for common colds.
• For a concentrate, juice the oregano leaves and take 1 tablespoon every hour to relieve chronic coughs, rheumatism, bronchitis, asthma, and dyspepsia.
• For Insect bites, wounds and stings, apply the leaves as a poultice directly on the afflicted area.
• For sore throat, boil 2 tablespoonfuls of dried oregano leaves in a pint of water, take 2 hours before or after meals.

USA. Remarks at the Plenary Panel The Ocean as the New Economic Frontier at the World Ocean Summit
Friday, 28 February 2014
Let me first of all congratulate you: the theme of this panel is spot on. It very much touches upon my ambition, as European Commissioner, to create a secure investment climate for our economy; and at the same time protect the vital resource that is the sea.
As we struggle out of the recession and as we run out of resources on land, it is only natural that we should turn to the oceans.
Cultivation at sea does not require land or freshwater. Harnessing the wind and waves does not produce greenhouse gases. And soon the huge diversity of marine genetic material sea life will be able to deliver food and medicines for us.
There are opportunities for jobs here. I've been saying for years now that from the beauty of shores to the power of winds and tides, we have a formidable economic engine in the seas and oceans.
This is backed by extensive research in the EU And because we strongly believe in the gravitational pull of our coastal and maritime regions for the economy, we have devised our 'blue growth' strategy - a policy that makes so much sense, that it has been immediately picked up by all European Ministers; and that has been assigned a significant share of our research funds.
So, how do we foster 'Blue growth'?
We look at specific areas where we think there are opportunities to seize, such as: ocean energy, aquaculture, tourism, blue biotechnology, deep-sea mining. And we move to provide the best possible operational conditions for businesses.
Take ocean energy, for instance. Recent research suggests that wave energy alone could theoretically cover three-quarters of the total energy consumption of the European Union in 2030. And it is a source that never runs out. Just think of the transformative impact this could have on our society. But of course it is a train that we need to start catching today.
So I've been saying that, at a time when most nations go through difficult economic times, we do in fact have a huge potential locked in the seas and oceans.
But I've also been saying that if the sea is worth the investment, it is not growth at all costs that we should seek. We don't want a random, frenzied "gold rush" that will inevitably leave us with problems as big as the ones we have on land.
Growth can turn against us. Since the industrial revolution it has been faster than the growth in our population and we may have kept the reins loose on it - but this is changing now.
And now we need a different kind of growth.
We need to find the fine line where economic sustainability and environmental sustainability meet, and keep that balance over time.
Offshore wind is a good example. Of course it costs a bit more to construct turbines at sea rather than on land. But, as all sailors know, the wind is stronger offshore; and it is a fundamental law of economics that, as you increase production, the costs come down.
In Europe we are going for it. Installed capacity is growing at 40% a year – and creating new jobs in construction, maintenance and design of the next generation.
And success breeds success. We are now building up the infrastructure for this new economy - shipyards to build the offshore structures, but also the vessels to supply and maintain them… underwater cables to deliver the power to consumers… and this in turn is generating jobs.
We all know the challenge here: on one hand we need to facilitate growth for all maritime sectors, existing and emerging. On the other hand we need keep that growth sustainable.
In my view there is only one way to go about it for us policy makers: we need to create the best operational conditions for business to make the leap towards sustainability.
This does not mean adding layers upon layers of red tape: we should certainly not over-regulate, but we do need to regulate just enough to create a transparent, consistent, level playing field that rules out unsustainable choices for good and that enables the private sector to find and apply innovative, smart solutions.
Let's see another case. Local communities do not always welcome seeing aquaculture cages close to their shores. Moving them further offshore benefits from higher quality water and allows them to be washed by the ocean currents. We have the technology.
I say let us make it possible for business to go for it: let us help them access finance and skilled labour. And let us help them choose the right spot. Locating one farm across state borders can be more efficient and environmentally sounder than building two in two separate and more vulnerable spots.
Just like reallocating shipping lanes away from protected areas reduces the risk of environmental disasters. And so on.
In the EU we have created a framework for maritime and coastal Spatial Planning for our States to plan their use of space and even multiple uses of the same space. This gives environmental legitimacy to public planning and legal certainty to private investors.
Just as we want to plan the use of space as carefully as we do on land, it is probably not a bad idea to control sea traffic as strictly as we control sky traffic.
We are now actively preparing the ground for a totally integrated maritime security strategy, which we believe will tremendously improve our rescue operations and our fight against crime and pollution through cooperation between surveillance authorities in a cost-efficient way.
I don't see why such an idea should not move to the global level one day. In fact the sooner, the better.
Because space planning and surveillance concur to help the other crucial aspect of sustainability: safety.
It may not be possible to rule out risks entirely when working offshore. But we must take concrete action to prevent accidents like the 2010 Deepwater Horizon; and also smaller accidents like blowouts, explosions, structural failures and the like.
We must make sure that, as new shipping lanes open up in the Arctic because of the receding ice, we don't just take the good. But we also properly prepare for all the risks involved.
Otherwise, whatever economic miracle we build, it'll be built on sand.
There are many other things we can do to make sure that the new economic frontier is tread upon safely and sustainably: for Europe we have provided guidance in support of aquaculture, ocean energy and tourism; and we are now looking at what can be done in marine biotechnology and deep-sea mining.
We believe these are extremely promising sectors that need an extra push from the authorities to produce the socio-economic mutation that we need.
And because a lack of access to marine data has been holding us back, we have committed to better understanding it through research, both at EU level and through cooperation over the Atlantic.
Reducing the level of uncertainty to the sea's behavior should defeat, as we have invariably seen across Europe and across sectors, the operators' inherent reluctance to invest.
Basically what I'm saying is that we are developing cross-cutting tools and sea-basin strategies, because the sea is a complex 'system' requiring a rational, systematic, holistic approach.
This is why international cooperation is so important and this is why I would like to see some of those tools make the leap: from European to global.
Don't get me wrong. We do have instruments at global level – instruments, like UNCLOS, that are valuable and necessary. But they can be slow, fragmented and easily hampered by a few.
They are certainly not fit for the economic challenges of this century nor are they able apt to respond in real time to the changing circumstances of the dynamic marine environment.
The ocean challenge demands that we streamline them, upgrade them and in parallel we create common tools, apply common strategies, pool our means and fill in the gaps.
In conclusion, I say yes to the new economic frontier, but resolutely no to a "lawless Wild West". Let us not forget that developments today, good or bad, go at very high speed. The promise of new riches from the sea should not blind us to the dangers and consequences for future generations.

Veteran MMA agent Monte Cox and client Eddie Alvarez want just two things: more fights, and more fights against top-ranked opponents.
Now, Cox said, that could lead to an early-2012 fight (and rematch) between Alvarez – Bellator's reigning lightweight champion – and Japanese star and DREAM titleholder Shinya Aoki.
Cox discussed the possible non-title bout on today's edition of MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
Cox joined the show to discuss his new deal with Fight Now TV, an all-combat-sports TV channel that's also home to MMAjunkie.com Radio TV. As part of the deal, Cox will allow the cable station, which is available on Cablevision in selection Northeast markets, to air his exclusive library from the popular Extreme Challenge promotion, which has held more than 600 events and launched the careers of dozens of UFC fighters.
But the conversation quickly turned to Alvarez (22-2) and the rumored Aoki (28-5) fight, which Sherdog first reported on Wednesday.
Cox confirmed the fight is a possibility, and he said it makes sense given Alvarez's goals.
"We've been really happy in Bellator," Cox said. "The only thing that we are unhappy with in Bellator is – through his early 20s here – Eddie's not fighting enough. We need more fights, and we'd like to fight people who will help his world ranking."
Aoki certainly fits the bill. Alvarez, who's won eight straight fights as part of his Bellator tournament run and title reign, has cracked the top five in many worldwide lightweight rankings. Aoki, who submitted Alvarez via heel hook at DREAM "Dynamite!! 2008," owns a similar ranking.
"We wanted (Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert) Melendez, but that's not going to happen with Zuffa," Cox said. "The next best thing is the only guy to beat Eddie at that weight."
So what's the likelihood the Aoki rematch gets booked?
"I don't know if it's 100 percent, but that's what Bjorn is trying to get us," he said.
Of course, Alvarez first has another fight on his plate. He's scheduled to put his belt on the line during a Bellator 54 title fight with season-four tournament champ Michael Chandler in October.
Even if Alvarez were to stumble in that fight, Cox doesn't think it'll affect the Aoki bout.
"Eddie is the face of Bellator," he said. "If he loses, it happens. But people want to see Eddie fight Aoki. Those are the two guys who are world-ranked. Chandler is very good with his wrestling and everything … but (he's) not the most exciting guy. I look at the fight over and over, and I just don't see Chandler winning that fight."
For more on Bellator 54, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.
MMAjunkie.com Radio broadcasts Monday-Friday at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) live from the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino's Race & Sports Book.

If you have multiple computers and you would to share a single mouse and single keyboard, synergy is the best software that you can use. The amazing part of this software is, they can share a single mouse and keyboard from a different operating system because the sharing goes through the TCP/IP. I've personally used it between windows and Linux machine. Wow! I just love it!
You can download Synergy software from sourceforge.net. Click on the download link on that page and click the binaries package. In the binaries package page, the *.rpm is for Linux system and *.tar.gz is for the rest of the Unix system which doesn't run on Intel's x386 architecture. The *.exe is for windows platform.
Once you have installed Synergy, you need to configure your machine to act as a server. Usually the one in the center acts as an server and the machine besides it act as client. You will see this configuration screen and click on the "Configure…" to configure your machine on your left and right.
First, you need to add all the machines into the list and click on the "[New Link]" to configure how do we want to link all these machines together. Try to play around with the UI and you should be able to get it. The "+" is to add into the list and "-" is to remove from the list.
Once the server is configured, just click the "Start" button to start the server. Then the next thing to do is to install the synergy in your client's machine (e.g. your machines on your left and right) and connects them to this server.
In Windows, you can enter the server's name in the configuration screen:
"Use another computer's shared keyboard and mouse (client)"In Unix, you can run the following commands to connect to the server:
synergyc –f "server_host_name"
I love this software because I can have 3 monitors in front me (each monitor is from different machine or even different operating system) and I can control them using only one mouse and one keyboard. Cool, isn't it?

I feel like I was somewhat unfair to the Secret World's combat system last week after playing around with it a little more. My criticism at the time was that even though the game superficially abandoned the class and leveling systems of more traditional MMO games, the results still felt much the same. While the first few hours of the Secret World's combat do feel superficially like combat in World of Warcraft, you quickly come to understand that the resemblance is somewhat of an illusion.
You see, rather than having to choose an individual class, every character in The Secret World has an ability wheel that lets them unlock abilities in 9 different weapon varieties. Shotguns, Assault Rifles and Pistols make up a ranged third of the ability wheel. Blades, fists and hammers constitute the melee portion. Finally there are elemental, chaos and blood magic paths that you can learn to control.
Leveling down each of these paths in the ability wheel feels somewhat like leveling a class in WoW or other MMOs as you unlock new abilities unique to that weapon's strengths and become capable of equipping more powerful weapons of that type. What's interesting about The Secret World, however, is that the process of leveling a weapon takes relatively little time so before too long you find yourself branching out to other weapons. It's a system that differentiates itself by being a relatively short leveling curve that then widens out to be more about choosing the wisest selection of skills rather than unlocking everything your "class" is capable of.
At any time you can have two separate weapons equipped allowing you to use abilities from either weapon at any time. This can lead to interesting synergies between your stills as status ailments caused by one weapon can power up attacks using the other weapon. These synergies form the core of your "build" in The Secret World and need to be studied carefully because you're limited to only 7 active abilities at a time, a number you can reach on a single weapon in just a few hours.
Combat itself in The Secret World is also much more active than in WoW. Your character can move and even dodge out of the way of incoming attacks while continuing to attack themselves. That's easy to miss at first while enemies are relatively week but soon enough you'll find that even random quest mobs have large area of effect attacks you'll want to dart out of range of before continuing your assault.
Overall I'm still not totally sold on combat in The Secret World. It can feel punishingly difficult for no real reason at times (the game as a whole seems to suffer from this as you progress, though some MMO fans might see this as a cure to some of the more idiot-friendly MMOs on the market) and the synergies between weapons take a bit too much time to kick in for my taste but it certainly isn't the WoW clone I thought it was last week.
Next week we'll be taking a look at the strongest element of The Secret World, the games storytelling and world-building.

The Decimator ProRackG guitar noise reduction system establishes a new standard for excellence in real time noise suppression performance. The Decimator ProRackG was designed to provide the maximum possible performance in a rack mount dual channel noise reduction system designed specifically for extremely high gain guitar amplifiers. Designed with 2 channels of single ended noise reduction configured specifically for high gain guitar applications, it allows one channel to deliver noise reduction for the guitar directly and a second channel to eliminate amplifier gain noise.
Channel one eliminates 50 or 60 cycle hum, buzz, stage light noise and any other noise picked up directly by the instrument. The ProRackG channel one output drives the front end of your guitar amplifier and eliminates all of the input noise picked up by the guitar. The control circuit of the second channel detects and tracks the guitar signal directly while the signal processing audio chain is patched into the effects loop of the high gain guitar amplifier. Now you can quiet down even the most insane amounts of noise with any amplifier system incorporating a series effects loop. The Decimator unit will also solve the typical high gain feedback or squealing problem high gain guitar players fight.
You know how difficult this problem can be. You play staccato notes and in between each note you have a squeal or burst of feedback that's virtually impossible to control. Problem solved with the Decimator ProRackG. By proper setting of the threshold for channel one and channel two you can eliminate this problem for good.
The Decimator ProRackG has dual processing channels incorporating both low-level downward expansion and dynamically controlled low-pass filtering in a very easy to use single rack space unit. The ProRackG is based on ISP Technologies patent pending "Time Vector Processing," which provides the most adaptively dynamic release response characteristics of any real time noise reduction system. The Time Vector Processing dynamic response circuit is used to control the release time constant of both the downward expander and dynamic filter. Not only does it deliver the most stunning noise reduction, it also solves the problem of needing to adjust the Threshold setting every time you change gain or switch channels.
By using the input guitar signal to drive both channels' level detection circuitry, the ProRackG needs no other adjustments once the thresholds are set based on the guitar input. This will give you the correct threshold with clean, crunch and even monstrous amounts of gain and if you use pedals you can insert them in the loop between the output of the Decimator Channel 1 and the input of the guitar amplifier.

[I begin with two things – a confession and an apology. Firstly, the day I've chosen to describe in my Day of Archaeology isn't actually the 29 July – as that day I was happily walking the south-west coast path and sitting on a beach in Cornwall. So I'll be describing my day on Tuesday 26 July instead. Secondly, apologies as it's being posted so late – the holiday is the reason for that too!]
Tuesday wasn't a typical day in my role as Senior Properties Historian at English Heritage, but as I struggle to describe a typical day that's nothing unusual. The day was spent at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, where there are currently excavations being carried out by Cornwall Archaeology Unit, on our behalf. I drove down in the morning to meet a couple of TV crews – one from BBC Spotlight and another from the ITV local news, who had both been invited to cover the story of the excavations. After re-reading our press release and having a quick chat with our PR manager, I gave a couple of interviews about why we were carrying out the project, and took the crews up to the excavations to meet the archaeologists and show them the site.
I've been involved with Tintagel Castle for a couple of years, working on a complete overhaul of the interpretation and visitor information on site, alongisde various improvements to the cafe, shop and ticket points. We installed a new permanent exhibition in the visitor centre in 2015, and added a range of interpretation panels and artistic installations to the site at Easter 2016. My role was to carry out the historical and archaeological research, write the text, commission the reconstructions and models, and also to work alongside artists and interpretation colleagues to deliver the rest of the project.
So, what are we doing now at Tintagel? This is the first year of a five year research project which aims to find out more about the early medieval (post-Roman) settlement on the site. Occupied between the 5th and 7th centuries AD, this extraordinary defended site had somewhere in the region of 100 buildings scattered across the headland. It was linked to a trading network connecting it to the Mediterranean world – more imported amphora and fine tablewares, as well as fine glasswares, have been found at Tintagel than anywhere else in western Europe. We assume that this was an elite, possibly royal settlement, occupied perhaps by the rulers of the kingdom of Dumnonia. But there is much that we don't understand – when exactly was the site occupied? What sort of activities were being carried out on site? Was it a seasonal settlement? What did the buildings look like? Were they stores, workshops or houses? Although excavations took place at Tintagel in the 1930s by C. A. Raleigh Radford, this was largely clearance work to display the building remains to the public and many of the records were lost when Radford's Exeter house was bombed in the Second World War. A small amount of work was carried out in the 1990s by Glasgow University but it was restricted to the area already disturbed by Radford.
Cornwall Archaeology Unit (CAU) have been commissioned to carry out this research work which involves two seasons of excavations, plus post-ex analysis and publication following. This year's archaeological work is an evaluation of two key areas of the site to establish the nature of the post-Roman remains and to identify one of the two areas for more in-depth archaeological work next year. The two areas were chosen as they were likely to preserve good archaeological stratigraphy and were undisturbed by medieval activity or later archaeological work. The first area is on the southern terrace where a small trench was opened as part of the Extreme Archaeology series in about 2003 – remember that? It had some dramatic footage of Alice Roberts dangling off a rope but actually the terrace is very accessible and not that scary to work on! The second area is on the eastern terraces, not far from the visitor steps up to the chapel area of the headland.
Whilst the TV crews were filming the archaeology and interviewing colleagues, I had a chance to look at the trenches for the first time. As I write the excavations are still ongoing, but early results look very interesting, with walls and areas of paving, and lots of finds including amphora fragments and pieces of glass.
Once the media interviews were over, I went up to the mainland courtyard to check on the set up for my talk to visitors. We have been hosting events for our visitors all week to tie into the excavations – regular talks from the site team in the morning and then a programme of talks from different specialists in the afternoon, as well as hands-on activities for children. Various staff and volunteers from CAU have also been on hand to talk to visitors about the archaeology at the trench edge. Of course, this is one of the busiest times of year being the summer holidays, so it takes quite a bit of time to get up and down the steps to the headland due to the sheer numbers of people – this narrow and steep route is the only way on and off the castle, at least for the time being!
My talk is entitled 'Tintagel: where history meets legend' which is also the title of the exhibition. I'm trying to explain to visitors how history and legend at Tintagel are completely intertwined – you can't understand one without the other. My audience is typical for Tintagel visitors at this time of year – lots of families, children and a few attentive dogs. I try to explain how the site has became attached to the tradition of King Arthur and also introduce them to the other key legend at the site – the love story of Tristan and Iseult, and weave in the history of the site too. They all listen wonderfully and then I get lots of questions about the castle, the archaeology project and King Arthur. Various people come up afterwards to ask more questions about the site, including one teenager who wanted advice on becoming an archaeologist.
After a late lunch, I head back up to the castle to see how the panels and installations were being received by visitors – it is lovely to stand near a panel that you have written and hear people read it out to their children and see them engage with the sculptures and reconstructions.
I also wanted to take some more photographs of the archaeology in action and speak to the volunteers. We had been planning to have lots of social media coverage but unfortunately broadband has been down at Tintagel for several days and there is no mobile signal, making it difficult to upload posts! Luckily one of the volunteers is a dab hand with photogrammetry and has made some brilliant 3D models of the trenches. He is also happily filming everyone with a handheld camcorder for the BBC's Digging for Britain.
Unexpectedly I have a spare morning before my second talk to visitors tomorrow afternoon, and my offer to help in the trenches is seized upon by the team – luckily I have packed my trowel. It's not often I get to actually do real archaeology – this will be a first in 11 years in the job!

The people of a Chinese village thought they'd encountered E.T. — but it turned out to be a malnourished monkey with no hair. Mao Xiping spotted the creature eating cucumbers in her garden in Gezhai Village, and thought it was a rabbit at first. "At first I thought it was a rabbit, then I was shocked to see it had an alien face," she said. "My neighbors agreed it was like nothing we'd seen before. It stopped eating cucumbers when we gave it peaches and now it won't eat anything else." Scientists eventually decided the creature was of terrestrial origin after all. [UPI]

by Gretchen Logue of Missouri Education Watchdog
One of the schools in my district is looking to implement fingerprint scans to hurry up the lunch line. Some parents express concern on this practice while others view it as an efficient method to solve a problem of impatient waiting children and decreased times to eat lunch.
I read education articles from progressive to libertarian to conservative sites. Regardless of political affiliation, writers from all sides are concerned about data mining of students and the future implications of
- who has access to this information
- where it will be shared
- how it might be used
- possible data breaches compromising private and sensitive information
Voices championing these programs are the ones making money off the data mining information and programs and the clueless taxpayers who believe governmental agencies have our individual interests in mind as the basis for these programs.
The article Student RFID Chipping Conditions American Youth to Accept Government Surveillance covers the gamut for student data mining. Once it's permissible to scan your child's fingerprints to receive government services, why isn't it permissible (or mandated) to use other bioscan techniques in order to receive other educational programs?
A school in Maryland has installed PalmSecure, a biometric scanning system that requires elementary students to place their hand on infrared scanners in order to pay for their school lunch. The unique nuances of each child's individual hand will be catalogued and the image encrypted with a numerical algorithm that is combined with the cost of school lunches.
PalmSource, a Japanese corporation specializing in biometric technology offers this "authentication system" which is a marketed as a necessity in healthcare, security, government, banking, retail and education.
The corporation also provides an array of RFID chipped tags with memory capacity.
The cost to taxpayers and parents for the installation of this Big Brother surveillance system in 43 schools in Maryland is estimated to be $300,000.
PalmSource is being beta-tested in Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana.
The school district of Spring Independent in Houston, Texas believes that "RFID readers situated throughout each campus are used to identify where students are located in the building, which can be used to verify the student's attendance for ADA funding and course credit purposes."
In Texas, children attending school in the Northside Independent School District will be required to carry RFID chipped cards while on campus. The 6,000 student's movements will be monitored by faculty, in a pilot program that hopes to expand to tracking all students in the 12 districts.
Principal Wendy Reyes of Jones Middle School, explains: "It's going to give us the opportunity to track our students in the building. They may have been in the nurse's office, or the counselor's office, or vice principal's office, but they were markedly absent from the classroom because they weren't sitting in the class. It will help us have a more accurate account of our attendance."
In the San Antonio school district, the Student Locator Project (SLP) is being beta-tested at Jay High School and Jones Middle School – two schools in the Northside district. The SLP includes the use of radio frequency identification technology (RFID) to "make schools safer, know where our students are while at school, increase revenues, and provide a general purpose 'smart' ID card."
Students rallied against the use of RFID chips in two of their middle schools in San Antonio, Texas. The school district "maintained" that controlling truancy and tardiness as well as gaining $2 million in state funding for the use of these tracking devices was the motivation behind the implementation of the technology.
The school district of Spring Independent in Houston Texas believes that "RFID readers situated throughout each campus are used to identify where students are located in the building, which can be used to verify the student's attendance for ADA funding and course credit purposes."
In order to check out school library books, register for classes, pay for school lunches, the "smart" ID card is being employed to trace and track students and their movements on campuses all across America. By using leverage of educators to coerce school districts to adopt this method of tracking students, the argument for the use of the RFID technology is campus safety, efficient registration, and food and library programs.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) demands that ranchers use RFID chips to monitor their livestock. It is expected that RFID chips will become a part of our daily life, with their presence embedded in clothing, packaging, and bar-code labels on retail goods.
Herding and surveying people in our society with the use of RFID chipping disrupts our innate ability to remain private and infringes on our Constitutional civil liberties. The information contained in the RIFD chip could be the individual's social security number, home address, medical records, school records, criminal records, financial records, and any other information that can be referred to digital storage. These chips can be accessed either by a source 100 feet or more from the person wearing the RFID chip. Remote access to the information contained in the chip is able to be read by directed satellites and sent to database centers where it can be used within a digital profile.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has built 70 counterterrorism fusion centers across the nation. The cost to taxpayers is $1.4 billion so that federal and local law enforcement agencies can use surveillance equipment to database the movements of American citizens. According to a US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations report on fusion centers, some may be allocated for pre-crime suspicions, others would be simply watched so that they the US government will be able to properly learn how to control a mass of people.
These fusion centers receive mostly unusable information that endangers citizen's civil liberties. The Committee could not surmise from data provided by DHS how the fusion centers worked with local law enforcement, but rather came to an assumed conclusion that data being collected on Americans is being stored within DHS facilities for the expressed (and as of now unknown) use by the federal agency.
Meanwhile, mainstream media is busy selling the idea that multi-media devices like smartphones, need to be implanted in the body. In the not-so-distant future, corporations hope that humans will embed microchips into their brains in order to use technologically advanced devices. However, this endeavor has a dark side.
It is predicted that in 75 years "microchips can be installed directly in the user's brain. Apple, along with a handful of companies, makes these chips. Thoughts connect instantly when people dial to 'call' each other. But there's one downside: 'Advertisements' can occasionally control the user's behavior because of an impossible-to-resolve glitch. If a user encounters this glitch — a 1 in a billion probability — every piece of data that his brain delivers is uploaded to companies' servers so that they may "serve customers better."
Anngie and I have returned from a trip to a one room Amish schoolhouse. We'll be writing in the next few days about the difference between education including electronic tracking vs education delivered in a small, intimate setting with no government surveillance needed. The difference between how public education students are tracked in school and how the Amish teachers handled student movement on school property is astounding.
This community established the school two years ago. It was approached by the public school district to sign the students up as public education students. It would have been a great tax infusion for the district and financing for the Amish school, but for the community school autonomy, not so much. The community made the decision not to align itself with the public school's programs. The Amish teacher understood this tradeoff and while finances are tough for the school, she was pleased she has the authority to teach the students in the manner the community believes appropriate. She was aghast that local public school districts are now mandated by Washington DC for much of the education delivery on the local level. I can just imagine her response on chipping children for informational data information for governmental use.
Here's a website alerting folks to the dangers of chipping children like cattle.

Our Goal
Primarily through Models for Change: Systems Reform in Juvenile Justice, MacArthur supports reform in 40 states with a goal of accelerating a national movement to improve the lives of young people in contact with the law, while enhancing public safety and holding young offenders accountable for their actions. After 20 years, support for work in juvenile justice is coming to a close. Through 2017, the focus is on expanding the use of successful tools and approaches developed through Models for Change, including support for the network of resource centers that provide assistance to system leaders in the top areas of concern.
The premise of our work in juvenile justice is that an understanding of the scientific research on child and adolescent development and mental health will help decision makers develop more effective policies and practices and make more rational choices in individual cases. We support research, training, practical interventions, policy analysis, and public education that promotes a fair, rational, and effective juvenile justice system that recognizes the developmental differences between adolescents and adults; is linked to other relevant agencies and organizations; and is held accountable for public safety and the rehabilitation of young offenders.
During the 1990s, 47 states passed laws that put more juveniles in adult criminal court, instituted harsher sanctions, and allowed adults and youths to be imprisoned in the same facilities. In 1996, the Foundation set a goal to reverse this course and to promote a rational, evidence-based juvenile justice system that holds young offenders accountable for their actions, promotes rehabilitation, enhances public safety, and lowers costs to taxpayers. We posited that an improved understanding of adolescent psychological development and mental health would help decision makers make more rational, informed choices in policy and practice that would lead to greater public safety and better outcomes for youth.
From 1996 to 2002, we supported research, training, policy analysis, public education, and practical interventions across 14 states. The Research Network on Adolescent Development and Juvenile Justice provided the cornerstone of our juvenile justice strategy: its findings over ten years made it clear that adolescents are fundamentally different from adults, and that treating juvenile offenders as adults, relying on incarceration, and failing to commit resources to rehabilitation and treatment is expensive, produces negative consequences, jeopardizes public safety, and compromises future life chances. After five years, an expert panel reported the work's important contributions to policy and practice, and challenged us to use these findings to help states become models of juvenile justice reform.
In 2003, we launched Models for Change: Systems Reform in Juvenile Justice, a $100 million effort to develop successful models of system-wide reform that other states could learn from and emulate, and to create a wave of juvenile justice reform built on new scientific evidence and knowledge of best practices, and built on state and local reform efforts that were practical and feasible. The initiative does not advance a single "model" system. Rather, it seeks to demonstrate different ways to improve systems performance and outcomes in four core states—Pennsylvania, Illinois, Louisiana, and Washington. Targeted issues include racial and ethnic disparities; re-entry after incarceration; mental health; diversion; evidence-based practices; and the boundary between the juvenile and adult criminal systems. Local demonstration sites model best practices in these targeted areas and, once success has been demonstrated, promote the activities as models for other jurisdictions to adopt.
Our Strategic Approach
The Foundation has taken a distinctive approach to juvenile justice reform - one that is grounded in the growing body of behavioral and neuroscience research on youth development. We believe that decision makers will be able to develop more effective policies and practices and make more informed choices in individual cases if they have a thorough understanding of child and adolescent development.
The Foundation is implementing its strategy at four levels: developing a knowledge base and tools to inform decisions in policy and practice; developing and promoting model demonstrations of system-wide reform in targeted sites; translating knowledge into action through advocacy and dissemination; and accelerating the pace of state policy reform nationally.
Grantmaking Priorities
Models of Systems Reform
Through the initiative Models for Change: Systems Reform in Juvenile Justice, the Foundation supports efforts in key states to bring about changes in law, policy, and practice, and heighten interest in and provide models for juvenile justice reform nationwide. Initiative goals include greater use of evidence-based practices, improving aftercare and mental health services, and increasing community-based alternatives to incarceration. All sites are working to improve data collection and analysis for decision making and to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities.
Models for Change is active in 16 states: four core states (Pennsylvania, Illinois, Louisiana, and Washington; and 12 others (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin) through "action networks" focused on racial and ethnic disparities, mental health services, and the quality of juvenile indigent defense.
National Campaign to Reform State Juvenile Justice Systems
In 2011, the Foundation began a multi-funder collaborative effort to share the lessons of Models for Change and other reform initiatives to help generate and build a wave of juvenile justice policy reform across the country. National campaign operations and activities include a central office that identifies target states for policy reform, and oversees state-based campaigns; investments in as many as 16 states to reform juvenile justice law and policy; and national communications and outreach advance a national dialogue in support of widespread juvenile justice reform across the country.
The Foundation supports research to inform the development of effective juvenile justice policies and practices, such as the Research Network on Adolescent Development and Juvenile Justice, whose research addressed the competence of young people to stand trial, youthful immaturity and criminal responsibility, and desistance from criminal behavior. More recent research that examines the process and effectiveness of systems reform in the Models for Change states, including studies of the consequences of mental health screening in pretrial detention, risk/needs assessment, financing systems change, benefit-cost analysis of juvenile justice programs and services, and interactions between schools and juvenile justice.
Evidence is growing that the reforms being implemented in Models for Change states are increasing public safety, lowering costs, and helping youth. States and jurisdictions across the country are engaged in innovative work that is transforming their practices and policies, while creating a "playbook" for other jurisdictions that want to accomplish similar successes.
The success of the initiative is being judged on four levels:
- local demonstration sites showing progress toward goals in the targeted areas of improvement
- progress in the targeted areas moving a state toward having a model system
- reductions in racial and ethnic disparities
- progress motivating other state and national policymakers to make justice reform a priority
