ColombiaŌĆÖs President Juan Manuel Santos has signed an order imposing fundamental changes to both ColombiaŌĆÖs OmbudsmanŌĆÖs Office and Prosecutor GeneralŌĆÖs Office Friday, in what he has declared ŌĆ£will have direct repercussions in improving the security of Colombians,ŌĆØ as well as a ŌĆ£higher capacity to attend to victims.ŌĆØ
Santos assured that with a ŌĆ£stronger, more effective [and] more efficientŌĆØ Prosecutor GeneralŌĆÖs Office, ŌĆ£the natural and concrete result is that there will be more security, because there will be more instruments to fight crime and felony.ŌĆØ
The prosecuting institution will, Santos affirms, be a more effective instrument against crime and have a heavier presence throughout the country.
ŌĆ£It will be strengthened within the regions, a plea that we had been receiving for a very long time,ŌĆØ the Head of State said. ŌĆ£More presence by the Prosecutor GeneralŌĆÖs Office in many of the regions that donŌĆÖt even have a public prosecutor.ŌĆØ
Furthermore, the improvements will mean that more specialized detectives and experienced personnel will be involved in investigations, and that public prosecutors will be specially trained in various disciplines.
Although citizen security has, according to the Colombian president, been ŌĆ£one of the absences, or needs, that we have detected the most in recent times,ŌĆØ the new legislation means that more staff will assume this responsibility.
Regarding the changes to the OmbudsmanŌĆÖs Office,
ŌĆ£With this reform, more gears, more instruments will be available for there to be a heavier presence in territories where we are seeing the most violation or weakening of the fundamental rights of Colombians.ŌĆØ
Similarly, the focus will be on broadening the OfficeŌĆÖs influence in areas suffering the most human rights violations.

Another benefit to the nationŌĆÖs citizens, Santos claims, is that the modifications within the OmbudsmanŌĆÖs Office will see it ŌĆ£strengthen all its actions in defense of the victims.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£This is an incredibly important step, because the victims in this country, well until recently they didnŌĆÖt exist, they werenŌĆÖt recognized.ŌĆØ
In light of the on-going peace talks taking place between the Colombian government and the oldest rebel group in the country, the FARC, Santos emphasized the special interest taken in support of the countryŌĆÖs internal victims.

ŌĆ£The Victims Unit has made a monumental effort in the reparation of these victims,ŌĆØ Santos asserted. ŌĆ£We know we have to compensate a lot more. But the fact that the OmbudsmanŌĆÖs Office will have a higher ability to play this role, to attend to the necessities and plights of the victims ŌĆö itŌĆÖs an extremely important step in the direction we all want to be going in which is a country at peace, in which, hopefully in the future, there will be no more victims.ŌĆØ
The president finally thanked both the Prosecutor General, Eduardo Montealegre, and the Ombudsman, Jorge Armando Otalora, for the progress that had been made with the reforms.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs hard to find a better step forward than this,ŌĆØ he said.

Microsoft Ventures announces Accelerator Plus program for late stage Indian startups
Microsoft Ventures has reportedly announced its Summer 2014 batch for its new Accelerator Plus program in India.
While the company has shortlisted16 startups, six of them will be part of Microsoft's new Accelerator Plus program, in order to help mature companies which already have customer traction.
According to Tech Crunch, the Six startups joining Microsoft's new, late stage accelerator program include MyBusTickets.in, Praxify, Thinxtream, Touchfone, ZingHR and Zoom, while, the startups joining regular, early stage incubation program include Appointy, App Virality, Bookpad, Boutline, Imly, InstaSafe, IntouchApp, Metaome, Sliderule and Voonik.
The director of Microsoft Ventures Ravi Narayan said that this program is for more mature companies which are closer to VC funding, adding that most of them have made significant progress, so much so that the startup ecosystem is taking their eyes off them.

... the position of my lower back and shoulders. I have a hard time keeping straight and steady. It always tends to tilt slightly forward. How do I stop this?? If I'm working on something new and concentrating on lots of things at once, my back is the first thing to suffer. For example, going up into a new gait (since I'm concentrating on that, I'll forget my back position and tilt forward slightly).
This makes a difference to my horse as well. The other day, I was riding a little bit forward and the moment I started to sit back and straighten my back, my horse immediately lifted her back and went into a frame. I had found my centre of balance and wasn't ahead of her diagonal anymore.
Here is me at the trot ... and yes, I am aware I have piano hands here and that my toes point out:
And the canter... my back is now way worse:
What are some practical exercises to help my back? Please help! Thanks!

Why Big Oil is Shifting Away from the Gulf of Mexico
Posted By Adan On July 22, 2013 @ 10:53 am In Global Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Daniel J. Graeber
July 22, 2013
Apache unloaded its assets to Fieldwood Energy, an entity held by Riverstone Holdings LLC. Fieldwood CEO Matt McCarrol said his company would take over where Apache left off, adding his company was "very enthusiastic about the opportunity to continue this legacy going forward." McCarrol said the assets obtained through the deal make up more than 500 blocks encompassing 1.9 million net acres. By the end of last year, the company said the area had proved reserves of 239 million barrels of oil equivalent, of which 55 percent is oil.
Riverstone Holdings LLC includes former BP chief John Browne, whose tenure ended in 2007 with the arrival of Tony Hayward. Under Browne, BP became one of the premier energy companies working in the Gulf of Mexico. By 2010, the company, as well as Hayward, became the subject of public scorn after the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster. Two high-ranking BP officials were charged in 2012 with misleading investigators during their investigation into the spill.
Apache CEO G. Steven Farris said the deal was an "important step" in restructuring his company's portfolio. Since 2010, the company has focused its efforts on developing onshore assets, where it said it expects to achieve attractive rates of return. Farris said the assets sold to Browne and his associates had matured to the point that they were more difficult to exploit than onshore plays.
New drilling technologies have contributed to exponential production gains for onshore oil and natural gas in the United States. The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources said last week it produced, on average, 810,129 barrels of oil per day in May, a new all-time high and a 2 percent increase from the previous month. Oil field services company Baker Hughes said most of the new wells started during the second quarter of 2013 came from the Eagle Ford and Permian basins spread across the southern United States. Apache says it's one of the largest operators in the Permian basin with more than 12,000 wells in service. During the first quarter of the year, the Permian basin gave up more than 119,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day for Apache, a 20 percent increase year-on-year.
Apache's CEO said his company "had a great run on the Gulf of Mexico shelf over the last 30 years." The Energy Department said it expects oil production in the Gulf to reach 1.5 million bpd by December 2014, up from the 1.26 million bpd recorded in March. The Gulf is still giving up substantial amounts of oil, but Apache seems to be betting the biggest bonanza will be onshore.

The Biography of Muhammad
Nature and Authenticity
This book considers the Arabic biographies of Prophet Muhammad, the earliest of which dates from two centuries after his life. These biographies, prized by Muslims, have been approached in the Western study of Islam from a range of positions. Some scholars reject them entirely, seeing in them products of the Muslim community's idealisation of its history, while others accept them at face value, reasoning that, if not exact versions of events, the events could not have differed too much from their descriptions.
The author revisits the debate and reconsiders several key incidents in the life of the Prophet. By compiling an extensive corpus of materials and comparing them closely, this book analyses the transmission and the contents of the accounts. It shows that by understanding clearly the interaction in early Islam between written and oral modes of transmission, and by the judicious sieving of the accounts, as well as the lines of transmission, we can sometimes reach back to that generation of Muslims who though not themselves witness to the events were younger contemporaries of those who were. Establishing a solid basis for the informed study of Muhammad's biography and adding to the ongoing debate, this book will appeal to scholars of early Islam, history and theology.less

Logo of 'Home Makers' Handibook' by the Women's Service Bureau of the Detroit Free Press, which we believe was published in the 1930s.
Have you ever wondered what was cooking in local kitchens generations ago?
We have, which is why we were so excited to unearth a copy of the Home Makers Handibook by the Womens Service Bureau of the Detroit Free Press.
The book, which we believe was published in the 1930s, is in fragile shape, with its burgundy cover well-worn and its pages brittle and yellowed with age.
Each week, well post a recipe from this old gem on Freep.com. Our hope is that you, too, will savor the taste of local history. We found this weeks recipe in the melon recipes chapter.
• Related: PDF from the cookbook of the Watermelon Snowball Salad.
1 (3 ounces) package of cream cheese
8 watermelon balls
Granulated sugar
Cut watermelon into 8 balls with cutter, cover with cream cheese about ¼-inch thick. Then roll balls in granulated sugar. Serve on crisp lettuce, four to a portion. Serve with tart mayonnaise dressing. This makes 2 servings.
Let us know if you try the recipe and what you think; e-mail email@example.com.

Our team of gardeners armed with green thumbs, a passion for beauty and nature, and a love of the outdoors keep Winter Park blooming all summer long.
The gardening staff plants and maintains 118 different gardens throughout Winter Park. Our head gardener has designed beautiful gardens that are easy to maintain and are lovely to behold utilizing xeriscape principles.
Conservation and Challenges
Water conservation is the name of the game in Winter Park.
Plants are grouped together according to their water requirements, allowing the gardeners to water just twice a week when all the plants are established.
The gardeners face some daunting challenges in this high altitude mountain environment including wind, hail, extreme temperatures, and a short growing season. Thus inspired and challenged, Winter Park's team of gardeners is ready for yet another season of creating artful gardens that will enhance every guest's and local's visit to our town.
You can view an illustrated list of flowers (this may take a bit to download as there are many) that are planted in our municipal gardens that make our mountain community all the more beautiful.

After 100 days in power, Egypt's president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has been given a cautious thumbs up by economists.
Al-Sisi, a former defence minister, won a landslide victory in Egypt's presidential race on May 24, almost a year after he led the coup that ousted Mohammed Morsi, the elected Islamist president, from power. Political turbulence has been bruising for Egypt's economy, which by most measures is in a worse state than it was before the advent of the Arab Spring in 2011. Read more

Geyser Peak Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
This lavish wine showcases the abundant deep red and black fruit flavors that are typical of Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Black fig, Chambord liqueur, hibiscus flower, briar berries, and Bing cherry flavors dominate the palate. More subtle notes of ginger, caramelized brown sugar and mocha add dimension to the opulent structure. Aging in rich American oak barrels lends a plush fullness to the palate and complements the supple grape tannins with silky texture and vanilla spice character. The deep ruby hue of the wine shows beautiful purity of color and alludes to the robust weight of this bottling.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "The bright edge to the color parallels this cabernet's brisk, red-fruited character. The tannins bring on darker notes, hinting at pomegranate and plum with luscious, mountain-grown intensity (the blend includes benchlandsites and higher hillsides). Those tannins keep it savory, adding firm bulk to an otherwise elegant red. Enjoyable now with grilled magretof duck, this will mellow over the next several years in bottle."
Geyser Peak Winery
One of California's oldest and most award-winning wineries, Geyser Peak was founded in 1880, a pioneer of the Alexander Valley in Sonoma County. Perched on a hillside across from Geyser Peak Mountain, this beautiful setting overlooks Geyserville, the Russian River and the northern end of Alexander Valley.
The winery consistently garners some of the most prestigious awards in winemaking, including Winery of the Year and Winemaker of the Year honors. Its outstanding team of winemakers and viticulturalists are noted for fruit-forward, food-friendly wines from prime vineyard sources in the Alexander Valley. View all Geyser Peak Wines
About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

New Multi Mover trackless ride at Vulcania France
ETF delivered ride system by order of Joravision to French edutainment park Vulcania.
Recently ETF was involved as sub-contractor in a large dark ride called 'Volcans Sacrés' (which means 'sacred vulcanoes').
ETF provided eight 6-seater Multi Mover vehicles whose characteristic is that they are wire-guided and can move trackless. This technology combines a system of infrared sensors installed at the base of each vehicle and a copper wire slightly embedded in the floor which is electrified to create a magnetic field. The whole is managed by a control system that determines the speed of the vehicles as well as the traffic on the track. This technique allows greater freedom of the vehicles' movement in the attraction. They can for example move forward and then backward from a scene to another, or even go round in circles in the same room.
In addition to the wire-guided motion, each vehicle can rotate at 360° thanks to an engine installed at its base. Each vehicle will also be equipped with rechargeable batteries and a system of sensors to avoid collision with an object or a person on the circuit.
You can find more information and pictures on this ride (article in News Parcs magazine) HERE

Complying with EPA regulations alone costs American taxpayers $353 billion every year, the most of any government agency, according to a new paper, the Regulatory Report Card, just released by Competitive Enterprise Institute. It found:
The cost of EPA regulations is on par with the entire 2011 GDPs of Denmark ($332 billion), Thailand ($345 billion), and the United Arab Emirates ($360 billion). The EPA is historically one of the most active rulemaking agencies. From 1999 to 2011, the agency published a total of 4,995 rules in the "Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions," which lists federal regulatory actions at various stages of implementation.6 It published even more final rules in the Federal Register over the same period, 7,161 in all. This may indicate a transparency problem, as more than 2,000 rules were finalized without first appearing in the Unified Agenda…
The EPA is a federal agency, but many of its regulations affect state and local governments. Of the 318 EPA rules currently in the pipeline, 67 of them affect state governments, and 47 of them affect local governments…. There are currently 21 economically significant EPA regulations in various stages of the pipeline. Of these 21 economically significant rules, cost estimates are available for 11 of them. The total estimated annual cost of these 11 economically significant rules ranges from $19.848 billion to $24.238 billion.11 The average cost per rule ranges from $1.98 billion to $2.42 billion. It will be some time before the remaining rules progress far enough through the pipeline to release their estimated costs.
The Report Card goes on to describe the most onerous EPA rules it believes deserve more scrutiny from the public. The agency with the second most costly regulations was Health and Human Services, at $184.8 billion a year.

I also believe in letting the individual states decide on gay marriage. I am against a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. I won't march with them in demonstrations but I will vote for for them. I do not believe that any citizen of this country should be discriminated against for sexual orientation and are entitled to any and all rights of every other citizen of this country.

This summary is based on prior works from the authors concerning end-to-end rnodeling of the instrument. The paper follows with a trade-off analysis of the capability of different calibration approaches to remove those errors and, at the end, to recover a map of brightness temperatures. In order to perform the trade-off analysis, extensive simulations have been undertaken to analyze the approaches found in the literature: the redundant space method, used in radio astronomy, the G-matrix method, used in ESTAR, and the Noise injection method. both centralized and distributed, proposed for MIRAS. A short description is made of each one and a comparative table is presented. The trade off is presented in terms of what kind of errors can be removed by each method, hardware requirements, robustness and on-ground/on-board input data required to perform such error correction. 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z Sources of third–order intermodulation distortion in bulk acoustic wave devices: a phenomenological approach http://hdl.handle.net/2117/15092 Sources of third–order intermodulation distortion in bulk acoustic wave devices: a phenomenological approach Rocas Cantenys, Eduard; Collado Gómez, Juan Carlos In this work, a model that uses several nonlinear parameters to predict harmonics and 3IMD distortion is presented. Its novelty lies in its ability to predict the nonlinear effects produced by self-heating in addition to those due to intrinsic nonlinearities in the material properties. The model can be considered an extension of the nonlinear KLM model (originally proposed by Krimholtz, Leedom and Matthaei) (Krimholtz et al., 1970) to include the thermal effects due to self-heating caused by viscous losses and electrode losses. For this purpose a thermal domain circuit model is implemented and coupled to the electro-acoustic model, which allows us to calculate the dynamic temperature variations that change the material properties. In comparison to (Rocas et al., 2009), this work describes the impact that electrode losses produce on the 3IMD, presents closed-form expressions derived from the circuit model and validates the model with extensive measurements that confirm the necessity to include dynamic self-heating to accurately predict the generation of spurious signals in BAW devices. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z

Lane's late show clinches victory for Bath United
Posted: November 07, 2012|
Bath United 29, Harlequins A 27
A late try by Rich Lane earned Bath United a bonus point victory over Harlequins A.
Lane scampered over in the corner to clinch the come-from-behind win in the dying minutes.
Bath United fell behind after just three minutes when Jordan Burns touched down under the posts and the visitor's scrum-half scored again just before the break to give Quins a 3-13 lead at half-time.
Ollie Parkinson burrowed over to get Bath back into the match and 10 minutes later Olly Woodburn sent Ollie Devoto away and he crashed through a number of tackles to touch down.
Bath took the lead for the first time following a break by Richard Lane who fed Devoto and his pass out wide saw full-back Jack Cuthbert break through the Harlequins defence to score.
Quins A hit back as prop Will Collier powered over and replacement Louis Grimboldbywas converted to give the away side a crucial three-point advantage.
Tom Heathcote missed an opportunity to level the scores before Lane got Bath A back in front in the final minutes.

Brine STrby Jeremy M. - verified purchaser From ITHACA, NY
Exchanged the Brine for a Cascade CPV-R. It was a bit more expensive, but, definitely worth it. Head injuries are no joke, a helmet that fits and protects properly is a good investment. Also, Jen and Wayne at SportStop were really helpful and friendly, thanks!Pros:
The helmet is cool looking.Cons:
When I recieved the helmet, it looked fine, but, when my son put it on it was quite crooked. At first I thought that the straps were adjusted improperly, on further inspection I found that the padding in the helmet had been installed incorrectly at the factory. There was no way for me to correct the problem, so I returned the helmet.

DALLAS (AP) — Bill Belichick is closing in on Don Shula.
The New England coach Bill Belichick won The Associated Press 2010 NFL Coach of the Year award on Wednesday, the third time Belichick has earned the honor. Belichick, who also won in 2003 and 2007, now trails only Don Shula, a four-time winner of the award.
For leading the Patriots to a 14-2 record, the best in the league, Belichick received 30 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. That easily beat Raheem Morris, who led a turnaround in Tampa Bay and got 11½ votes.
Belichick has overseen a transition in New England to a younger team, particularly on defense. Of course, he still has Offensive Player of the Year Tom Brady at quarterback.
"I will say the foundation of the Patriots organization, which starts with Mr. Kraft and Coach Belichick, has not changed since the day I arrived," Brady said. "They have and will always do what is in the best interest of the team, and they will continue to find selfless players that love to work hard, compete and strive to be the best they can possibly be."
Then Belichick makes them even better.

Reading Workshop Lesson Plan 1
Grade Level: 1st
Lesson Topic: Readers sort through the information to determine what seems most important.
Materials: Iris and Walter and Iris and Walter: True Friends by Elissa Haden Guest
Connect: "Last week, Mrs. Snyder read some stories to you about Iris and her new friend Walter. (Review chapters 1-3 of Iris and Walter by Elissa Haden Guest) Today I will be reading the next chapter, and as I do I'm going to be thinking about what parts of the story are the most important."
Teach: "Authors give us lots of information through words and pictures. Readers sort through this information in their minds as they read to figure out what is most important. (Read pages 34-37 of Iris and Walter by Elissa Haden Guest. Pause and think aloud, modeling how to deter mine what information is most important. Continue reading pages 38-42. Stop at the end of the chapter and model thinking again.) "When I decide what information is most important, I am creating a summary of the story. When I am thinking about a summary, I think 'What information would I tell a friend about this story?' I wouldn't tell them every detail, but I would tell them the main ideas, or the most important information. In this chapter, the important information was that Iris and Walter play every day and that Iris is not sad about living in the country anymore. I don't need to add every detail about what games they played, I can just say that they played. Turn and talk to your partner about what you saw me do "
Active Engagement: "Now I am going to read you another story about Iris and Walter, and as I read, I want you to think about what information is the most important. What would you tell your partner about this story?" (Read chapter 3 from Iris and Walter True Friends; "The First Day of School") "Turn and talk to your partner about what the most important information was in that story." (Listen as the class talks. After a few minutes, call the students to attention and summarize the key points you heard being discussed.)
Link: "Today, and every time you read, think about what information in the story is most important. The author gives us many details to make the story interesting, but if you were going to tell a friend about the story, what information would they really need to understand. That is the important information. I might see you stop reading today to think for a minute about the important information in the pages you just read."
Mid-workshop teaching point: Remind the class that they are thinking about the important information that the author is telling them. Ask if anyone has paused in their reading to take a minute to think about this information. If students volunteer, have one or two share what they were thinking about.
Reading Workshop Lesson Plan 2
Grade Level: 1st
Lesson Topic: Readers pay attention to the way the character handles problems.
Materials: Peace Week in Miss Fox's Class by Eileen Spinelli
Connect: "Yesterday you presented your Venn diagrams comparing yourself to a character. We were looking for ways that the characters were like us or different from us. We also thought about situations the characters were in, and whether we had ever been in a situation like that. Another way to think about characters is to notice the ways they solve problems. That is what we will talk about today." (Point to the chart) "Readers pay attention to the way the character handles problems."
Teach: "I am going to read you a story called Peace Week in Miss Fox's Class. In this story, a teacher and her class have many problems getting along. I am going to show you what I think about when I read, and then you will have a chance to think about some of the ways the students solve their problems." (Read Peace Week in Miss Fox's Class. Pause at certain parts and think aloud about the problems the characters are facing. Page 4 - the teacher's problem and how she solved it. Page 6 - Squirrel's problem/solution. Page 10 - Bunny's problem/solution. Read on until page 22.)
Active Engagement: "Turn and talk to your partner about what Little Bear's problem was and how he solved it." (After a minute, recap what was said.) "I heard someone say… " "Now I will continue reading about the next situation, and I want you to think about the problem and how it was solved." (Read on to page 26.) "Turn and talk to your partner about what Raccoon's problem was and how she solved it." (Recap what was said. Finish the story.)
Link: "Today and every day, when you are reading you can think about the problems the characters in the story are facing and you can notice how they solve those problems. This is a strategy that will help you understand your stories and your characters better. It can also help you in your own life. If you like the way the character solved the problem, you can remember that if you are ever in the same situation. You might have a problem with someone on the playground, and you can think, 'I remember when the students in Miss Fox's class solved their problems by doing something nice. I think I will try that, too.' The characters in our stories can teach us things about real life. Sometime during Independent Reading today I will ask you to stop and share one of the problems your character is facing, and how he or she solved it."
Mid workshop teaching point: Ask for volunteers to share the problem their character faced and how it was solved.
Reading Workshop Lesson Plan 3
Grade Level: 1st
Lesson Topic: If we admire a character we can think of ways we can be like the character.
Materials: Jamaica's Find by Juanita Havill; Character chart
Connect: "Yesterday, I told you that readers pay attention to the way the characters handle problems. If we like the way a character solves a problem, we could say we admire the way they solve their problems. If you admire someone, it means you want to be like that person. Today we are going to think about characters we admire, and think of ways we could be like those characters." (Point to the character chart.) "When readers admire a character, they think of ways they can be like that character."
Teach: "Do you remember the book Jamaica Tagalong? In that story, we were introduced to the character Jamaica. I remember that she was nice to the little boy in the story and played with him. I admire Jamaica for being nice to a younger child, even after her older brother was not nice to her. Today I am going to read you another story about Jamaica, called Jamaica's Find. I think we will find other things to admire about her in this story. We already know she is nice, now listen and see if you notice anything else about her to admire." (Read the story Jamaica's Find.) "I noticed in this story that Jamaica is honest; she returns the dog even though she really wanted to keep it. I admire that about her, and it makes me think that I should be like her and be honest, too."
Active Engagement: "Turn and tell your partner something else you noticed about Jamaica that you admire." (Allow a few minutes for conversation. Recap what was said. Key ideas are: She is friendly because she played with the little girl at the park; she is helpful because she helped the girl find her stuffed dog.) "Who thinks they can be nice, friendly, honest, and helpful like Jamaica? I hope we all admire Jamaica, and try to be like her."
Link: Today, and every time you read, think about the character in your book and decide if you admire that character and want to be like them. You might not admire every character. Yesterday Roderick shared with us one of the characters he was reading about, a mouse who was always doing naughty things. You would not admire that character. So your job today is to decide if you admire your character or you don't. I will be stopping you at some point during your Independent Reading to ask for volunteers to share whether they admire the character they are reading about, and tell us why or why not." (Ask one or two students to repeat what their job is for today. Make sure everyone understands the job before they leave to read.)
Mid workshop teaching point: Ask for volunteers to share whether they admire their character and why or why not.

The Stigma Of Mayday
As reluctant as we all can be to declare an emergency, there are times when nothing else makes sense
Face it, no one likes to admit mistakes. Probably because of the Superman syndrome, pilots are especially reluctant to acknowledge errors to authority figures. Aviators are even more reticent to confess to dangerous mistakes if they have passengers on board.
" />
After I had described the strong smell of fuel in the cockpit, how I had depressurized and descended to 10,000 feet, was breathing with my mouth near the storm window, complained that I couldn't possibly make it to Kauai and generally told the controller everything except what he needed to hear, he prodded me with, "Sir, you have to say the words."
"Okay," I said finally, "I'm declaring an emergency."
"Roger that," said the controller. "You're cleared for any runway. Would you like the equipment?"
It was as simple as that. Once I was on the ground, a Jeep full of Shore Patrol sailors met me and made certain I didn't leave the vicinity of the airplane while we checked out the leak. Once they verified that the problem was real, they allowed me to fix the leak, refile my flight plan, have a Coke and sandwich and go on my way. They made it clear I wasn't in trouble, but that I had to leave. Those without a need to know weren't allowed on Johnston. I did give them my name and pilot's license number, but I never heard any more about the incident. (Still, I sometimes wonder if somewhere back in Washington, there's a file with my name on it.)
It's always difficult to understand why pilots fail to ask for help when they're "temporarily disoriented" (read "lost"). Again, the mentality seems to be "don't ask, don't tell," either in accidental IFR or with an unknown position. Some pilots would rather drone around in the clouds or search for an airport alone rather than admit their mistakes and request assistance. It's especially critical when a VFR pilot inadvertently stumbles into IFR conditions without the benefit of proper experience or training.
Most of the time, the famous five C's (climb, communicate, confess, comply, conserve) may help you out of trouble. Climb to clear any unknown terrain, improve radio range and increase the possibility of a DF steer (should you need one). If the weather is VFR, climbing also may help you see prominent landmarks not visible at low altitude. If you're in IMC conditions, climbing may allow you to pop out the top so that at least you can more easily maintain wings level.

After reading your experience yesterday, I consulted a friend who has also done a lot of candying of citrus and other fruits. She lives in Vista and has several kumquat trees and several rare and unusual citrus.
She can't figure it out either. She suggested trying a very small batch, parboiling them briefly in a couple of changes of clear water - as one would do with citrus peel, then go through the candying process with three times the amount of syrup as fruit.
Her regular process is virtually identical to mine except she adds half a cup of light Karo syrup to 2 quarts of sugar syrup. I can't see how that small an amount could have much effect. I have never used it, mainly because I never have it on hand.
I am going to stop at the middle eastern market on my way home and buy some kumquats and go through my usual process and see if I have any problems.
I am really stumped by this.
I am also going to see if my microwave method will work on kumquats. I have never tried it with anything except orange, lemon and grapefruit peel.
I thought the parboiling for citrus peels was to remove the bitterness in the orange or grapefruit rinds. I would have thought it was unnecessary for kumquats, where the rind is sweet. I wonder whether it might have been better NOT to "core" the fruit before beginning to cook it. It seemed to me that that small hole in the kumquat enabled the juice to quickly "leak" out , at which point the kumquats "deflated". If they weren't pierced, maybe the sugar solution would slowly go into the fruit, and they would not collapse as they were cooking. I also couldn't see how a covered pot would enable the sugar solution to get more concentrated with time. The kumquat juice and condensing steam off the crockpot lid just seemed to further dilute the cooking liquid. How about cooking on low, without the lid, replenishing the sugar solution only as needed to keep the kumquats submerged?

Mottistone Estate
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
A farmed landscape with wonderful walks and great coastal views
There's lots of variety to explore on the Mottistone Estate which stretches from the chalk downs through rolling hedge lined farmland to the sea.
There is a car park and bus stop next to Mottistone Manor Garden which is a good place to start your visit. It's a great place to walk with many well marked paths to choose from and good expanses of open downland to wander freely over.
There is evidence of human occupation of the landscape going back 6,000 years to Neolithic times. The wildlife of the estate has adapted to thousands of years of farming and because the land is farmed in an environmentally sensitive way the area is still full of farmland birds and other wildlife.
