From building insect habitats to testing herbal oils to see how well they battled bacteria, more than 400 students showed off their ingenuity and know-how at a recent Vista Unified School District expo.
"Every year, I am amazed at what our students bring to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Fest," said Kellie Fleming, a content support resource teacher and coordinator of the annual exposition held this year at Vista Innovation & Design Academy – a Vista Unified magnet school.
"They transform into these experts who talk about their work with knowledge and understanding of what they were able to do and achieve," Fleming said. "To me, this is probably the most important and rewarding piece about STEM Fest – having our students proudly share their work, interacting with all age groups, on a night that's all about them."
Connor Baker and Gavin Humann, second graders at Casita Center for Technology, Science & Math, became experts on insect housing for STEM Fest. They demonstrated how they used cardboard toilet tissue tubes and twigs to create what they called "insect motels" to give moths and other insects safe haven.
"You stuff twigs in here so they can hide from the predators," Connor said as he jammed twigs into the cardboard tube. "You need to stuff things together so the moths don't get eaten by chameleons, anything that eats bugs."
Killing bugs of another kind was the point of an experiment displayed by Jacob Toney, a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School who hopes to become a chemical engineer doing ground-breaking research.
With bacteria becoming increasingly resistant to drugs, Jacob said he wanted to determine if there were alternatives that would be effective.
According to the results of his experiment, there are. Jacob tested penicillin and several herbal oils to see how well they battled e-coli bacteria. "Cinnamon oil and tea tree oil are at least as effective as penicillin," Jacob said.
Empresa Elementary Fifth-grader Christian Campoamor's Tiki hut mosquito catcher
Bugs also figured in a STEM Fest display by Christian Campoamor, a fifth grader at Empresa Elementary School, who built a solar power Tiki hut mosquito catcher.
Christian said the bug catcher worked as predicted when he tried it out in his backyard. "We caught two mosquitos," Christian said. "There's not that many mosquitos in the yard, mostly gnats," Christian said.
Rancho Minerva Middle School's marble roller coaster projects.
Nearby, Rancho Minerva eighth graders showed off the work they did to explore kinetic and potential energy and Newton's laws of motion.
Teacher Desiree Willson gave her students a challenge – build roller coasters out of construction paper that would keep a marble rolling along its course for 15 seconds. "It was a pretty tough challenge, but they did a pretty good job," Willson said.
Most of the roller coasters on display at STEM kept marbles rolling for five to eight seconds, but the project was a valuable lesson for her students.
"They spent about a month designing, testing and improving," Willson said. "They learned the importance of testing and improving, testing again and improving."
Olive Elementary fifth-grader Sheila Sainz faced a different challenge – pick a stressful situation and devise a way to ease the stress.
Her challenge – picking the right clothes for a night out. Sheila's solution, as illustrated in a drawing she displayed, was to have a robot that would pick out just the right outfits, although she didn't actually build a robot. That's a challenge for another day. "It helps people, because they don't know what to wear," Sheila said.
STEM Fest attendees generate energy on the Schneider Electric "Green Bike."
For the more athletically inclined, Schneider Electric provided a stationary bicycle hooked up to a light that shined brighter and brighter, the harder students pedaled.
The idea was to show kids a fun side to engineering, and maybe spark their interest in the field, said Valerie Houchin, a Schneider account representative.
By riding the bike, "They understand, they're helping generate electricity," Houchin said. "I want them to know, you can do your part to save energy and create energy." The company has donated the bike to the school district. "It's going to travel from school to school," Houchin said.
In choosing VIDA as the site, STEM Fest was returning to its roots. The district's first STEM Fest in 2014 was at VIDA, which was then Washington Middle School, but has since been transformed into VIDA.
STEM Fest is open to all Visa Unified students.
"We don't have any specific requirements to exhibit, other than they must be safe and do no harm to anyone," Fleming said. "Students are welcome to work on anything that incorporates STEM, including the arts.

Musings on Mothers
May 13, 2008 at 12:07 am 1 comment
As Mothers, we all try to do what is best for our children. We nurture them, make choices for them, and do what needs to be done for them. Sometimes this path is clear and easy, other times it's not. With a special needs child, these issues are magnified, and I for one, find the path confusing and cluttered with wrong turns at times. I struggle to find the balance in providing all the things C needs, and frankly, there are things that slide by the wayside. We make choices every day about what we believe is important for him. Sure, we probably make some wrong choices, things that will make a grown-up C say "Why in the world did my parents do that?"
What bothers me is the interference and advice from judgmental people who are not offering help and support, but rather criticism and condemnation. This goes beyond the well-meaning, forgivable stranger giving unsolicited advice. A friend with an autistic son was at a conference about autism recently, sitting in on a presentation about biomedical interventions. A woman behind her was looking over R's shoulder while R was taking notes. "You're not getting what you need, are you?" the woman said conspiratorially. "You should just love your child and stop trying to fix him."
I know of no other child, "typical" or not, who is more loved just the way he is than R's son. My heart ached for her as she told me the story, because this is a Mom who cares for her son in every way. It's hard enough trying to decide what your child needs without interference from someone who knows nothing about your child or your family. Yet R's resolve was not at all diminished; she will continue on her path of trying to do what she, as the parent, believes is in the best interest of her child. Just like any mother would do.

Cheese and truffle combined together makes for a strong flavour that needs no accompaniment.
Made from cow's and sheep's milk, this semi-hard cheese will disappear very quickly once opened. Truffle and cheese is simple, yet luxurious and the earthy, mineral aroma of the truffle is perfectly married to the deep, grassy flavour of sheep's milk.
Its strong, distinctive flavour makes this truffle cheese the ideal product for those who love the flavours of Italy, and goes well as part of antipasti, where it can reap all the attention.

UK's Royal Academy of Engineering is calling on Northern Irish companies to apply for the prestigious MacRobert award amid a shortage of NI applicants, according to one awards judge.
The award has seen thriving talent from the north in former years but is experiencing a shortfall in the number of innovative businesses applying, said engineering expert and awards judge Sir John McCanny.
"There's an awful lot of good things going over there right now," he said. "We've had a lot of success stories from Northern Ireland, and it's about uncovering them."
The MacRobert Award, sponsored by the Academy, is UK's longest-running engineering prize and accepts a myriad applications each year from engineers of various calibre.
The applicants must be involved in the development of a project, which will be submitted for judgement by a panel of engineering experts. The judgement is based on three main criteria: innovation, success, and benefit to society.
The competition offers a gold medal to team members as well as a £50,000 cash prize. Applications for the award are being accepted until the deadline of 31 January.
Former applicants from Northern Ireland who gained coverage in the competition are 2001 finalists Bombardier Aerospace for their aircraft engine reverse thruster, and 2003 winners Randox Laboratories for an innovative blood-testing system which runs 4,500 tests per hour.
"Just over 15 years ago the area around where the Titanic was built had become derelict with little business activity around it," said McCanny.
"Today it's home to nearly 200 innovative companies pushing the boundaries of computing, electronics, cyber security and fintech – it has become our very own silicon roundabout."

yamaha XS400 revives stereotypes!
Every century had its icons. It comes on stereotypes that include features, considered to be the best by society of that epoch. And only one of them has never been changed, the type of a true man. He is associated with a strong and powerful hunter, always ready to defense his family and beloved one. He is successive high-flyer, he is, above all, an accomplished man and he never fails. And of course, he must have a horse! Few centuries before this horse had to be white, but now men prefer iron horses, such as Yamaha XS400. This steel beast with two-cylinders engine runs with a speed up to 85 mph and will make any boy feeling a real man!

Services & Rates
Acupuncture - first visit
The first visit includes a detailed history followed by a treatment. I will use a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. Sound therapy, heat, and laser may also be included for the same price. The many benefits of acupuncture include:
- Pain reduction
- Stress and tension relief
- Increased energy levels
- Stronger digestion
- Relief from bad habits and addictions
- Greater sense of overall health and well-being
Insurance may be accepted (even in-network benefits if you have them). Please call for more information.
Acupuncture - return visit
In any session needed after the first visit, we will discuss what is new or has changed regarding your symptoms for 5-10 minutes, and then proceed with a 50 minute acupuncture treatment.
Chinese Herbs & Nutritional Supplements
Chinese herbal medicine uses naturally occurring substances — including herbs — to enhance one's health and vitality. Nutritional supplementation is based upon lab values or diagnosis that suggest deficiencies or dysfunctional biochemical pathways.
Since each patient has different needs, I carefully select formulas and supplements to achieve optimal results for your unique situation.
Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and also helps with respiratory issues. A specialized "cup" is placed on specific points on your body, and suction then draws your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates cleansing and strengthening. The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.
Sound Therapy
Tuning forks and Tibetian bowls enhance any treatment for increased effect. The sound penetrates the body for addtional influence of the Qi flow.
Electroacupuncture is a highly effective treatment for pain and chronic ailments. Using the exact same system of Chinese Medicine, very thin and sterile needles are inserted into specific points along the meridians of your body. Needles are then attached to a device that delivers gentle electrical pulses between two points. This helps restore the healthy flow of Qi (energy) through your body, removing any blockages and clearing out stagnant areas, thus creating a stronger and clearer experience of health and well-being.
Laser Therapy - New!
Infrared and red spectrums of light are utilized to reduce inflammation and speed recovery. The LZ30-Z laser has a specific acupuncture probe that allows the light to be focused and utilized on acupuncture points to stimulate ATP production and mitochondrial respiration. This in turn provides cellular energy needed for repair and normal functioning processes.

(BG-24) Young Rascals, Fillmore Auditorium*Mint Condition*
The young Rascals were a relative footnote to the music scene of the 1960's, but left a lasting mark with there classic # 1 hit "Good Lovin' ".They had several other chart topping successes, but have not been embraced that well by music historians. This poster for an August 1966 appearance at the Fillmore is one of the few lasting remembrances of this band. This poster is a prime example why many consider the first 30 of the Bill Graham series to be extremely undervalued at current price levels. If you want a damaged, used copy you can take your pick as most of the original issuance were messed up long ago. On the other hand locating a museum quality mint condition example presents a significant challenge.

In addition to telling my own story, I wanted to make sure I also shared some tangible advice and tips for other people thinking about pursuing a job in tech. Now, without further ado, here are some lessons I have learned over the last five years from working in the tech space:
1. Where you start is probably not where you will end up. Nearly everyone I know who works in tech have not come from typically "tech" backgrounds. Growing up, if someone mentioned a tech job to me, I automatically thought that meant engineering or coding. But there are so many jobs in the tech industry! People who work in tech come from an endless variety of backgrounds and majors. While I definitely suggest everyone take a computer science class (or two) if you are able, do not think that every tech job requires you to have technical skills. Also, it is important to realize that where you start in tech is just that: a starting point. Your first job in tech will probably not be your dream job. But you should use it as a stepping- stone to get the job you really want. Most tech companies take their hiring processes very seriously and once someone is hired, they invest in their employees' career development. Furthermore, many companies promote from within and consistently move people around internally. Some of the larger companies even have internal programs that allow their employees to try working on different teams and in different offices. So if you are considering a job in tech, it can help to be open about where you start. With each job you take, consider the skills you are developing and whether they will help you later down the line.
2. Network, network, network. Networking is big in tech. I know that networking can be pretty scary for a lot of people but it does not have to be. At a networking event, I guarantee you that the majority of people are nervous at the prospect of having to talk to other people in the room. You are not alone in being nervous! One thing to remember: you do not need to be extroverted to be a greatnetworker. When starting out, look for internships and projects to gain experience and to begin to develop a network. Find ways to meet new people. There are tons of resources out there to attend meet-ups, conferences, and networking events. Also, always pay it forward. I spend a lot of time simply having coffee with other colleagues. For me, it is important to educate myself about what my peers are working on and how everything fits together to make the business a success. I will never decline an opportunity to meet up with someone who wants to chat about what I do or how I got to the place I am in. Similarly, I will always respond to career questions on LinkedIn, email, social media, etc. For me, networking is about listening and connecting. I spend my time listening to other people. I want to surround myself you people that inspire me. Eventually an opportunity will come up where I can connect two people based on what I know about them. Making connections can be extremely valuable and this is how I have built a network.
3. Align your personal and professional passions. In addition to my day-to- day job at Twitter, I was actively involved in their women's leadership group called SWAT (Super Women at Twitter). Eventually I was asked to take over the group as its global lead. I consider myself an ardent feminist and I want to take every opportunity I can to help other women reach their own personal and professional goals. One of the great things about the tech industry is that you can often combine your personal and professional interests. Being a part of the women's leadership group at Twitter was not only a great way for me to help other women, but it became one of the most important moments in my own career growth. I was afforded opportunities to meet amazing people and to develop important skills. Being a part of the group also provided me with a deeper respect for the company I was working for, since this was an area they strongly invested in. If there is something you are passionate about which falls outside the range of your 9 to 5 job, look for ways to combine the two. Or invest in a project you can own related to your passion. Eventually, that passion project could end up becoming your full-time job. Kudos to Nora for doing just that!
4. Ask lots of questions. Do not be afraid to challenge others by asking questions. Transparency is a cornerstone of tech culture. Fostering an environment of openness and communication has always been important at the companies I have worked for. As a result, when working at a tech company you need to be willing to do two things: (1) ask questions and (2) challenge others. This kind of thinking manifests itself as early as during the hiring process when interviewers are testing applicants for critical thinking skills. Without a doubt, the phrase "there's no such thing as a stupid question" applies to working in tech. Do not be afraid to question a product or process. Usually the greatest new inventions come about by asking a question. Furthermore, if there is something you want, such as a promotion or raise, you are likely not going to get it unless you ask. So again, it all starts with a question.

Roadways are one of the most dangerous places in the world. At any given moment, there are approximately 600,000 drivers using cell phones or being distracted by some other electronic device. At any given moment, those drivers can easily crash into you and cause plenty of serious issues.
It's important to know exactly what to do in the immediate events after a vehicle accident. You have to know when to call a law firm, when to call the cops, who else you should contact, and plenty more. It can be hectic and extremely overwhelming.
Call Your Personal Injury Lawyer
Before you do this, however, you have to actually have a personal injury lawyer to call. If you were injured, if you're worried an insurance company is unfairly denying your claim, or if you were injured by a drunk or distracted driver, then it's wise to start reaching out to personal injury lawyers for help.
Take Pictures of Everything
It's important to provide your lawyer with all the necessary information following your accident. After you call the authorities (if need be), you should start taking pictures of everything around the accident scene. Take photos of the actual car wreck, of witnesses around the area, street signs, traffic lights, nearby cars, license plates, and anything else that might be of importance.
Exchange Info, But Don't Talk Too Much
You should exchange insurance information with the other driver afterward; however, be careful not to disclose too much. Don't apologize or try to reassure the other driver by saying things like, "Don't worry about it," or, "It's no one's fault." You don't want to give the other person's lawyer anything that they could potentially use against you. Even if it was 100% the other driver's fault, if you misspeak in the moments after the accident and end up saying the wrong thing, you might put your entire case in jeopardy.
These are just some of the reasons why it's so important to work with accident lawyers who can offer legal assistance and advice. Contact the Porter Law Firm, PLLC, in Memphis today if you need legal assistance after a car crash.

Ankhtyfy, a governor to the south of Thebes during a time of civil war (c. 2150 BC, early in the 1st Intermediate Period), seized the nome of his neighbor at Edfu but then faced attacks from Thebes, his own northern neighbor, whose ruling family went on to take over the whole country and become the next line of kings. When during the four centuries of the Late Period (8th–4th centuries BC) the country had to accept long periods of foreign rule, it was the local governors who acted as a bridge, choosing to serve the alien rulers and so maintain order and prosperity in their area.
Egyptians loved to commemorate their lives for posterity, and stelae were used to record particular acts of piety or the history of one's life or one's outstanding personal qualities, and to list the offerings that one hoped to receive for ever more. We know the names and careers of ancient Egyptians mainly from the many thousands of stelae that have survived. Stelae were also used to mark boundaries. Ownership of agricultural land was the basis of power and wealth in ancient Egypt. Egyptians were precise about their territory, and the boundaries of fields, cities, and provinces were often permanently delineated.

Role play provides opportunities for children to identify with the adult world. It is their understanding and and interpretation of what they have seen in their real world. It helps develop language skills; listen and talking with other people. It also helps children develop and understanding of what is being communicated through body language such as smiling and nodding.

World War One – Case Studies
The group is currently engaged on a major project to write case studies on all those men who fell in the First World War that are commemorated on the war memorials at Forest Row, Hartfield and Coleman's Hatch – 116 in total. Work on those who died from the outbreak of war in August 1914 through to the end of 1917 has now largely been completed. We are aiming to finish all the case studies by Armistice Day, Sunday 11 November 2018.
A dedicated website has been created for this project, and you may find this the easiest way of viewing the case studies. Alternatively, the studies have also been compiled into two documents (PDF) which are available for download:
