Anyway, not a relaxing time of year so I watch television, which is enormously relaxing. The following are a list of various show intros that I like, that I don't like, etc. in no particular order.
1. Again, Enterprise, which I didn't watch while it was running. But I would often watch the intro. One of the best Star Trek intros ever. Okay, okay, I do get a kick out of the intro for Star Trek: Original--all that goofy singing. But in general, I consider Star Trek intros fairly dull. Enterprise was a nice exception.
2. Criminal Minds needs a better intro. Cold Case is good. CSIs are good. Bones is okay. NCIS is okay. But Criminal Minds is really awful.
3. I love the intro to House: I'm afraid they are going to change it, which often happens after Season 2 of a show. Although CSI: Las Vegas only changed a little bit (thank goodness). So perhaps, House will stay as truly awesome as it is.
4. I liked it when Monk changed its intro though. I didn't mind the original, but I have tremendous respect for Randy Newman songs.
5. The American Idol intro confuses me. Is it a girl who walks out? Or does a guy walk out and then turn into a girl? Or do they change it every other night? Or what? (Speaking of American Idol, I don't care for Ryan Seacrest at all, but he is an excellent host. Also, speaking of American Idol, if they didn't have Simon on there, what a gooey, pointless show that would be.)
6. One thing I wish is that DVDs with multiple episodes wouldn't play the intro every single time. I think the intro to Dead Like Me is very clever, but I get sick of watching it time after time after time after time. Since I can never find the "turn the intro off" button, methinks it may be a legal thing.
7. And I really get annoyed by intros that recapsulate the plot. The early Buffy DVDs do that. Okay, by the time it gets to DVD, and I've rented it, I think the marketers should assume I'm passably familiar with the show. The Quantum Leap intros on DVD, for instance, are something like three minutes long. Actually, television intros in general have improved enormously since the 80s.
8. I must mention the PBS intro for Mystery with Gorey's figures. A true classic. Many PBS shows have classic intros: As Time Goes By, Red Dwarf ("It's cold outside . . ." or is that the end?), Black Adder(actually, I'm thinking of the end credits again, especially in the Regency Era episodes).
9. Not really an intro, but I quite like NCIS' technique of snapshotting the end of a sequence and then playing the scene through to that snapshot--a tad contrived but effective.

A fool in the White House, consolation at home
After six years of incompetence and adolescent self-righteousness, Australia finally has a federal government led by an adult. If only the same could be said of the United States.
After six years of incompetence and adolescent self-righteousness, Australia finally has a federal government led by an adult. If only the same could be said of the United States.
I've been busy setting straight my temporary Canadian neighbours on the lies and shabby deals that characterised Julia Gillard's turn as PM. Odious as she was, however, Rudd's patent insincerity makes her incompetence seem almost a virtuous
It matters not to a bomb's shockwave and shrapnel who lit the fuse or for what reason. As Boston continues to reflect on the ingratitude and enmity of the Muslim brothers who targeted its marathon, the most Irish of American cities would do well to review its traditional affection for the IRA
Our US correspondent rides a bicycle without helmet and lives to tell. Despite a reverence for regulation that would gladden any Australian bureaucrat, Californians still know how to do a cost-benefit analysis
Lies and incompetence are enough in themselves to warrant this government being turfed out. Its vile war on free speech should seal the deal
The Victorian Premier may be driven by a greater ambition than a desire to warm the government benches until Labor is returned to power. If so, Coalition supporters would appreciate a demonstration
The response to other people's disagreeable opinions was once the firmly stated refutation. These days, the first step is to state for the record that you are neither racist nor homophobe. After that, prepare to be slimed, slurred and shouted down
The Tony Abbott being portrayed in Canada's press is a jackbooted woman-hater and sworn enemy of all things green and lovely. Now where did those ideas come from?
Sharpen your pencils, men and women of Australia and all those in-between. Here's your chance to test your knowledge of the land where truth in politics (and on the ABC) is cheap and carbon credits are gold-plated opportunities for moral preening
David Cameron and Julia Gillard are each on the nose with voters, who have watched their leaders' whoppers piling up. There is a lesson there, one it is to be hoped will stay any Coalition impulse to mislead
The Golden State's economy is in a tailspin, but a sunny cheerfulness continues to animate my new neighbours. Mine, too, as news from home confirms that demise of Julia Gillard's petulant and incompetent government draws closer
When it comes to championing free speech, the former Chief Justice of NSW makes at best a limp and hollow-chested contender. To stand for something, you need to understand what is it, and Spigelman has barely a clue
Words can now be made to mean whatever our Prime Minister and supporters want them to mean. And their former definitions? Down the memory hole with them!
Julia Gillard: "We still have one secret weapon up our sleeves. I refer to this government's unsurpassed ability to spin, spin, spin in a way that would make a gold medal figure skater green with envy."
The 'unelectable' Tony Abbott is our new Prime Minister. As he sets about repairing the damage of six years of chaos, ignore the punditocracy's inevitable sniping. Once again, it has demonstrated how out of tune it is with our country
Our North American correspondent has bid adieu to the San Diego, put his foot to floor and and decamped for Canada, where bicycle helmets and annoying petrol pumps incite nanny-state memories of the Australia he left behind
The cork may be an endangered species in Australian wine bottles, but Americans just can't seem to get used to screw tops. The idea that Islamic butchers might want to blow people up is, in some quarters, even harder to assimilate
With a song in his heart and a borrowed Volvo, our newly arrived US correspondent takes in the wonders of America, from big cars to a big hole and, in California, one heck of a big mess
So you think you could make a career in the media. It is isn't difficult, truth be told, if you can master the essential qualities of eltism, myopia, selective outrage, moral inconsistency and groupthink
A government cannot face the electorate on a platform of proven incompetence, so how does Julia Gillard propose to save her party's bacon? With a little help from the ABC, for starters

MATTHEW FISHER, a maths A-level student, revealed that he was asked by one wag following his Twenty20 debut last Friday: "What's 22 divided by five?"
The question was pertinent, for Fisher had just taken 5-22 from 3.2 overs for Yorkshire against Derbyshire at Headingley.
It was Yorkshire's third-best figures in the format and laid the foundation for a seven-wicket win.
Small wonder that Fisher, 17, who is also studying PE and psychology, was delighted with a display that left him with the remarkable bowling average of 4.4.
As he prepared for Yorkshire's second game in the 14-match group stage against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge tonight (6.30pm start), pace bowler Fisher reflected on an astonishing start to his T20 career.
"It was pretty unbelievable really," laughed Fisher, who is currently unavailable for County Championship cricket due to taking his exams.
"It was great to play under the floodlights and in front of a bumper crowd, and I just tried to hit my lines and lengths and it went from there.
"I told the umpire when we were coming off, 'Can you pinch me because I think I'm dreaming'.
"Sometimes, you're going to have your day; sometimes, you're not, and I know I could bowl like that next time and go for 50 in four overs."
Fisher will be hoping that does not prove to be the case at Trent Bridge, where Yorkshire face a team who have traditionally had the wood over them in T20.
Yorkshire have lost their last four T20 games against Nottinghamshire and seven of the last eight completed T20 matches between the sides.
"Notts are a tough side," said Fisher. "They've got a serious squad and a lot of depth. It's going to be hard, but I'm sure we'll go there with good confidence and, hopefully, entertain the crowd again. We want to keep this good start going."
Yorkshire's prospects are boosted by the arrival of Australian batsman Glenn Maxwell, who makes his White Rose debut.
Nottinghamshire are without England batsman Alex Hales, who is on Indian Premier League duty after scoring 86 not out – including six successive sixes, albeit not in the same over – in last week's triumph over Warwickshire, also at Trent Bridge.
Fisher, who made his first-class debut at Trent Bridge last month, is simply happy to be playing at present and is grateful to first-team coach Jason Gillespie.
"I hadn't expected to play Championship or T20 cricket, but Dizzy (Gillespie) has shown the faith and the lads have been great and welcoming," said Fisher.
"It's a very tough side to get into – the England players have just come back – and Dizzy has just told me to enjoy it and have fun."
Martyn Moxon, Yorkshire's director of cricket, is delighted with Fisher's attitude.
"He is very mature for his years," said Moxon. "His skill level is exceptional really for the age that he is.
"He is one of those lads who learns very quickly and kind of knows what he needs to do. He's a diamond."
Yorkshire (from): Bairstow, Brooks, Bresnan, Fisher, Gale (captain), Hodd, Leaning, Lees, Maxwell, Patterson, Plunkett, Pyrah, Rashid, Rhodes.

WIGAN WARRIORS boss Shaun Wane reckons tonight's hosts Leeds Rhinos deserve the praise they are getting.
Rhinos are the only team left in contention for the triple of Ladbrokes Challenge Cup, league leaders' shield and Super League title and Wane said they have been the most consistent team this year – despite two defeats to his side.
"Leeds are the best team," Wane said.
"They were outstanding last week against Warrington and they are getting a lot of praise.
"I thought Eddie and Stevo [Sky TV's commentary team of Eddie Hemmings and Mike Stephenson] were going to go in the South Stand at one stage.
"But quite rightly so.
"They are very, very consistent, they are playing a fantastic brand of rugby and I want my team to go there and I want us to compete.
"I want us to give them a game and if we do that, I'll be happy.
"They were impressive – unstoppable – last week, but if we go there and we're competitive and we throw things at them, we'll give ourselves a chance not to lie down and get beaten like Warrington did."
Wigan moved up to second in the First Utility Super-8s table, two points behind Leeds, after a 30-22 home win over Huddersfield Giants eight days ago.
Wane said: "We played okay. "We weren't outstanding, but it was one of those games where we just had to get the two points.
"That was the main focus. In terms of the performance, we've had a lot of meetings this week where we've tried to correct a few things and hopefully those things will come out against Leeds."

Medical Societies
Since 1993, Doody Enterprises, Inc., has been dedicated to providing timely, filtered medical information and expert commentary to busy healthcare professionals who need to stay abreast of the overwhelming volume of literature and research findings in their specialty areas.
At the core of the clinical information database are the Doody's Book Reviews™ which evaluate books and electronic products across a wide range of clinical specialty areas in Basic Science, Clinical Medicine, Nursing, Allied Health, and Other Disciplines.
Doody's Book Reviews™ collects information on approximately 3,000 book and software titles each year from over 250 of the world's leading publishers of professional level healthcare publications. Expert reviews of about 2,000 of the titles each year are prepared by a network of more than 5,000 academically-affiliated healthcare professionals.
For each specialty, there is an Editorial Review Group Chair (ERG Chair) who coordinates reviews of titles in his/her field. The Chairs work with over 5,000 academically-affiliated clinicians who prepare a formatted review and fill out a ratings questionnaire for each title. The reviewer's name and affiliation appear with each review.
Unique to the review process is the Doody's Star Rating that accompanies each review. The stars correlate to the numerical ratings that are derived from an 18-point questionnaire completed by the reviewer in the course of assessing the title. The questionnaire highlights 16 different elements (such as the authority of the authors, and the quantity, currency, and pertinence of the references) of the title. The reviewer must rate each element essentially on a 5-point scale.
When the reviewer's responses are entered into Doody's system, a rating is automatically calculated. The highest rating a title can receive is 100 and the lowest is 20. When plotted, the ratings produce a bell-shaped curve on the high end of the 20-100 scale, which makes sense in light of the quality control publishers exercise before investing in the publication of a new title or a revision.
The numerical scores result in 1- to 5-star ratings and titles that fall into each category can be described as follows:
5 stars (97-100) Exceptional title with nearly flawless execution
4 stars (90-96) Outstanding title, with minor problems in execution
3 stars (69-89) Very good title, but usually with one or more significant flaws
2 stars (47-68) Average title, usually with several flaws (or one major flaw) or significant weakness versus its competition
1 star (<47) Substandard title
Overall, 8% of the titles have received 5 stars, while 11% have received 2 stars or less. The rating system helps ensure that each review is as fair and as objective as possible. Thus, Doody's Book Reviews™ incorporate a good blend of quantitative and qualitative analysis in the reviews. As a result, they have become well known around the world for reflecting a timely, expert, unbiased approach to rating medical publications.
Doody Enterprises sends its reviews to more than 300,000 healthcare and health information professionals through a weekly e-mail service and personalized web pages. It is estimated more than 1,000,000 individuals worldwide regularly consult Doody's Book Reviews.

It's a new look Indian side that will take on a depleted West Indian side, and given that this is so, starting off with the lone Twenty20 match will be good for both teams. It will give both a chance to get a feel of playing with their current elevens, and ease into the rest of the tour.
The bad news is, the forecast for Port of Spain for Saturday is for scattered thunderstorms. The good news is, since this is only a Twenty20 match, there is a good chance it will be played to completion even if rain does interrupt. Also, the match will start at 10 AM local time, which means there is plenty of time to ensure a complete game.
This is the first time that team India will step onto the field after being crowned World Champions. That's about all the link this team will have to the one that made a billion people delirious with joy on April 2, 2011. For starters, India's openers are likely to be Shikhar Dhawan and Parthiv Patel - with Rohit Sharma being a possible dark horse choice. The combination makes it seem as if the IPL was still on and this was franchise cricket - when did an Indian team last take the field with neither one of Gambhir, Sehwag or Tendulkar in the opening slot? Then too, of the men who brought home the World Cup, only Raina, Harbhajan, Kohli and Munaf Patel from the playing eleven remain while Yusuf Pathan and R Ashwin complete the quota of those who were there in the squad.
While this may not be the best news for fans, who will miss seeing the bigger names, it might just be good news for the Indian team on two counts. First, it ensures that the squad is relatively fresh in spite of India's non-stop cricket calendar and second it gives a chance to test India's bench strength. After all, as the World Champions, India will want to prove that even the bench can win them matches.
West Indies
Only the West Indies selectors will know why a West Indian Twenty20 squad is missing Chris Gayle at the top of the order - especially given the form he was in during the IPL - but with the selectors sticking to their guns the fact remains that Gayle is not there, and West Indies must cope as best as it can without him. Not that it will be easy to adjust to the loss of a bona-fide match-winner. West Indies will also be without Pollard and Dwayne Bravo for the T20 - but even their combined loss pales in relation to Gayle's absence.
Darren Sammy has had limited resources to work with, and given those limitations, he has done well. He will rely heavily on contributions from the likes of Darren Bravo and Devendra Bishoo, who are amongst the most promising youngsters for West Indies, but he will know that in spite of India not being at full strength, the hosts are not quite favourites in this clash. However, since this is a T20 match, the field is more equalized and West Indies have a great chance to start the tour on a winning note.
Among both captains, the lens will be trained sharply on Suresh Raina. His last stint at captaincy was when India sent what was almost an 'A' team to Zimbabwe. He didn't come off looking too impressive there, and against a stronger opposition he has a lot to prove.
"We have good players who want to do well in this series. They have done well in first--class cricket and the IPL or in the World Cup team." - Suresh Raina
"We had mixed results against Pakistan but we expect a tougher challenge from India, especially as they are the world champions." - Otis Gibson, West Indies coach.
Preview: India vs West Indies, only T20
It's a new look Indian side that will take on a depleted West Indian side, and given that this is so, starting off with the lone Twenty20 match will be good for both teams. It will give both a chance to get a feel of playing with their current elevens, and ease into the rest of the tour.

I just found out about this one earlier today and I have to say – that the big three got together on this one is a great step for their respective indexes and a great way to control duplicate content issues.
I can't possibly outline what the new tag is an does any better than Matt Cutts.
And to make matters worse (in the form of making the sources I reference appear VERY small) I've got another video for you. So that's two posts in one day, both referencing Matt Cutts and both with interviews from WebProNews. There are more resources below. 🙂 But first – the video:(Video removed – no longer available)
Here some additional followups and resources related to the new Canonical tag:
Joost comes up with some great plugins for common content systems. Click here for more information and perhaps to contact Joost directly and find out when he sleeps.
Jim Hedger writes about this over on the Webmaster Radio blog (Note: link removed as the post has been removed in a redesign).

In Marvel We Trust, seems to be the slogan these days. With an outpouring of comic-based superhero movies within the last few years, the superhero franchise has dominated screens and box offices for a good long run. But not, as it would seem, this time.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 currently holds a critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes over 53%, which not only ranks as less than half of The Amazing Spider-Man (73%), it is also the lowest ranking out of all of the previous Tobey McGuire Spider-Man films. Even Spider-Man 3, which is saying a lot because that movie was A Hot Mess. But why? Spider-Man, a hero that is the closest in age to the golden "teenage population", played by an actor who's closest to the golden actor age (30s), should cover basically the perfect demographic of audience members. So why is The Amazing Spider-Man 2 turning out to be a less-than-successful sequel?
To be fair, the final earnings of the movie haven't come in yet, so it may be too early to tell how well it will do. We can only hope that Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Jamie Foxx's respective popularity will boost the ratings of the film. But if reviews from audiences and critics are anything to go by, it certainly won't perform as well as other Marvel franchises have this year.
This movie, in my opinion, was very much two films smashed into one. It was, as all other superhero movies seem to be these days, part love story and part adventure story. The film follows Peter Parker (the gracious Andrew Garfield) as he graduates high school and faces down the question of whether his secret job occupation as a web-slinging superhero is worth giving up for the true love of his life, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). Directed by Marc Webb, the film is lighthearted all the way up until the end of the film, in which it takes a surprisingly and incredibly dark turn.
It makes a lot more sense when you realize that Marc Webb was the director of the much loved indie-esque film (500) Days of Summer back in 2009. Knowing this, it makes it easy to see that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was, at heart, a love story. The action and villains in the film were just plot devices and catalysts for the main cause conflict for the main conflict in the story – Peter and Gwen's relationship.
This is not to say that I didn't enjoy the exploration of their relationship; throughout the film, it was interesting to see Peter struggle with what it means to be a superhero trying to protect your identity while trying to also protect the ones you love. We've seen this explored in the original Spider-Man films, as well as in Iron Man 3, to an extent. The classic "I have to give you up so you won't be hurt when a villain wants to use you against me" approach is effective, if not a little predictable. What makes it work well in this film is the amazing chemistry between real-life couple Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, who manage to keep things interesting because they're naturally funny and interesting people.
In terms of the plot and villains themselves, the story is about as confusing and nonsensical as Thor: The Dark World is. Additionally, it features dialogue that is so cheesy it almost equates to bad fanfiction. Max Dillon (played by the talented Jamie Foxx) is an awkward, humble electrician who gets overlooked and generally stomped on by everyone around him. He falls into a vat of electric eels (barracudas?) and gains the superpower to control electricity. To be honest, the film isn't really quite clear with how far his powers extend. The film also accidentally makes bad puns about Electro taking away other people's "power" (literally and metaphorically, ha ha), and has him saying lines such as "I just want people to notice me!" Sigh.
And then towards the very end of the film, after everything seems to be ending well, they throw in another super-villain. And by throw in, I mean he literally descends from the sky. It's an obvious set-up for the next Spider-Man film to come, and possibly a set-up to even tie Spider-Man into the larger X-men franchise in the future.
Hopefully, since this film worked so hard to set up the third Spider-Man, I have high hopes that everything we were looking for in this one will be in the third one.

Tucked into the hillside of a quaint whaling village in Long Island, New York is Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory, a private research and education institute at the forefront of cancer research, neuroscience, human genetics and quantitative biology. Initially housed in the historic seaport architecture of a former whaling village of which it is a part, the Institute's work has grown through the years, necessitating the construction of new buildings.
The latest of such buildings is the recently completed Hillside Campus designed by Connecticut-based Centerbrook Architects, which will expand the institute's research capabilities by 40 percent. The $100 million complex consists of six laboratory buildings organized around a multilevel courtyard that forms a grand entrance and leads to a future hilltop campus. Stairways and plazas between the laboratories provide opportunities for informal meetings and conversations. The buildings are connected internally on their lower levels to facilitate communication and interaction among the scientists.
Explaining why a visitor might have trouble identifying the new 100,000 square foot campus, a New York Times reviewer wrote of the colorful complex, "An architectural sleight of hand has disguised the new labs as a miniature Bavarian hilltop villages", a feat the architects say that the neighbors also appreciate.

Working in the back of a Billerica auto body shop, the 17-year-old standout student has her hands on a 1967 Corvette.
"The cars are pretty cool," she said, admiring the classic Corvette that's stripped to the fiberglass.
"Not many 17-year-olds get to do this," she adds.
For her co-op, Williams is restoring Corvettes at The Bowtie Shop on Dunham Road in Billerica. The Shawsheen Tech senior, from Tewksbury, has been employed there for almost a year.
It has been an exceptional match, said Joseph Scafidi, shop owner.
"Many people who've done this for a long time don't get what she gets," he said about Williams.
"Today, a lot of kids don't understand how to work, but she does a great job," Scafidi added. "She may be an exception."
Growing up with a father who's a "big car guy," Williams knew from a young age that she wanted to work on cars.
Her father has a 1973 Dodge Charger, yellow and black, and she's been bugging him to let her restore it.
"His excuse is there's no garage for it, but it's because he's too protective of it," Williams said.
While her father won't let her do it, she does get to restore cars every day at the Billerica shop.
With the 1967 Corvette, she has retouched a fiberglass area, straightened out waves in the panels, cleaned the back edge and more.

"You want to make sure all the panels don't have huge waves in them," Williams said. "A lot of it is by feel.
"My friends at other shops don't do a lot of body work," she said. "They just paint and replace new panels and put them on. Here, you actually get to recreate the panel that's already there."
Fifty percent of the cars at The Bowtie Shop get completely disassembled, according to Scafidi.
A typical restoration takes 700 to 800 hours, which consumes 9 months to one year because they're working on numerous Corvettes at the same time.
"We touch every last piece, so when they go back together, everything's new," he said. "There's not a nut or a bolt that's not touched."

In addition to Corvettes, the shop restores Chevys, Chryslers and others. But the shop's bread and butter is Corvettes -- taking up about 95 percent of its business.
Scafidi opened the location in 2005 and has been restoring Corvettes for 30 years. In college, he bought his first Corvette, a 1963 red convertible. Now he owns seven Corvettes -- 1953, 1963, 1964, 1967, 1968, 1996 and 2014.
"Once you buy your first, you're in," he said. "You never want to own anything else."
Williams, who drives a Ford Taurus everyday, doesn't have her eyes on a Corvette. She's hoping to own a 1987 Chevy K10 pickup truck. Williams loves the old box-style trucks, and is currently scouring Craigslist for a deal.
She's also focusing on college applications. Her goal is to attend Stanford University for chemical engineering. She's also applying to UMass Amherst, University of New Hampshire, Northeastern University and others. After college, she'd like to return to the Billerica shop.
"I've had such a great experience here," she said. "I never would have touched this in school."
In addition to her co-op, Williams recently finished sixth in the nation in Auto Collision repair at the SkillsUSA competition.
Dennis Reppucci, Shawsheen Tech's lead teacher for the auto body program, called Williams "incredibly driven" with a "great head on her shoulders."
"It's refreshing," he said. "It's almost to the point of amazing.
"If something doesn't go the way she wants it to go, she'll figure out how to correct it. She won't give up," Reppucci said. "It's hard to find a student with such a clear vision."
Shawsheen Tech Superintendent-Director Tim Broadrick said that Williams will be able to do anything she wants after graduation.
"She represents the best of modern career vocational technical education students," he said. "She excels both in academic studies and in her trade skills.
"Like so many of our students, Maren has found meaning in the strong connections between her work in the shop and her work in the classroom," he added.

The Pearson Affordable Learning Fund (PALF) and Village Capital (VilCap) have partnered to recruit education start-ups across india for Edupreneurs, an exciting new 3 month business incubator with a twist.
Rather than asking analysts, panels, and prize committees to deem which innovations are worthwhile, the innovators themselves chose the two ventures that received funding. PALF and VilCap worked with 14** social impact education entrepreneurs, or "edupreneurs," to complete a 12-week program from September to November (2013) focused on building their businesses and improving their investability.
The selected companies participated in workshops in which they were offered mentorship from other entrepreneurs, investors and professionals. These entrepreneurs then assessed one another against six criteria, with the top two ranking companies receiving up to $75,000 each drawn from $100,000 and $50,000 of capital committed by the Affordable Learning Fund and Village Capital, respectively.
"Pearson is proud to announce this unique initiative in collaboration with Village Capital. The program underscores our commitment to quality education in the country. Through this we hope to reach out to the brilliant minds who have the knowledge and the dedication to make a substantial difference in the domain of education and learning at the grass-root level." – Ranu Kawatra, CEO and President, Pearson Education India
"We are thrilled to bring this programme to entrepreneurs striving to develop businesses that enhance outcomes and access for low-income learners in India. We've seen a lack of early support and risk capital in the low-cost education space and we are pleased to take the lead in creating a robust ecosystem for impact-oriented edupreneurs and incubate innovative models of education, to dramatically improve learning at scale." – Katelyn Donnelly, Executive Director, PALF
"We're incredibly excited to combine PALF and Pearson's education expertise, with our peer review model, to drive greater impact in learning outcomes. In our experience launching 20 programs in India, the US, the UK, Kenya, and Brazil, entrepreneurs investing in each other uncover innovations no one would have anticipated – and universally engage in the process in an astoundingly collegial and disciplined way." – Ross Baird, Executive Director, VilCap

Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) November 29, 2012
In an effort to track voter turnout and monitor voter suppression activity on Election Day, Obama for America in Nevada (OFANV) partnered with leading cloud telephony innovator CallFire to develop a pair of IVR (interactive voice response) applications that provided volunteers at the polls with simple, yet effective ways to provide the campaign with regular updates.
The Obama Campaign in Nevada unveiled the CallFire-designed "Inbound Nevada Vote Tally" IVR application to keep track of early voting results and, on Election Day, deployed the "OFANV Poll Watcher" IVR application.
Four times while polls were open in Nevada, volunteer observers dialed a special number that automatically reported the time and prompted them to report the telephone number from which they were calling, the precinct number and other information that assisted the campaign in tracking voter turnout and any attempts to inappropriately influence voters or otherwise prevent them from exercising their right to vote.
"Throughout the election cycle, sophisticated yet affordable cloud telephony applications like those CallFire developed in Nevada transformed the way campaigns reached out to voters and mobilized supporters and volunteers," said Dinesh Ravishanker, CallFire CEO and co-founder. "CallFire's cloud telephony systems and tools transformed laptops and smartphones into powerful campaign tools that help people communicate. We are pleased to have been part of the effort to ensure that everyone who had the right to vote also had the opportunity exercise that right."
About CallFire
CallFire simplifies telephony, making sophisticated, expensive carrier class telecom capabilities available through an affordable, easy-to-use GUI and API platform. Any business, from start-up to enterprise, can reach its customers on any device, using text messaging or voice, with CallFire's massively scalable, cloud telecom platform. CallFire products include Voice APIs, Business Text Messaging, Voice broadcast, Local Phone Numbers, Call Tracking, IVR, Predictive Dialing for agents and more. Call analytics enable CallFire's 50,000 users to reach customers more often using text marketing, virtual numbers, auto dialer and mobile messaging.

Mitt Romney had it wrong. Corporations aren't people — corporations own people.
The Supreme Court on Monday took up the unusual question of whether corporations control our genetic material — specifically, whether a Utah-based company called Myriad Genetics has valid patents on the human genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, which are related to breast and ovarian cancers.
That a company most people have never heard of could have the exclusive rights to pieces of our DNA is a bit unnerving. More than a bit unnerving: The ownership of our genes is being decided by nine justices who, although brilliant legal minds, aren't exactly biotechnologists.
They wrestled with nucleotides and covalent bonds. They spoke of mRNA, cDNA, introns and exons. They dabbled in tagging and base pairs.
"If you could get a super-microscope and look at what they have with the cDNA," Justice Stephen Breyer postulated, "you would discover something with an A there, you see, and you wouldn't discover something with a U there. And there is no such thing in nature as the no-introns AGG, whatever."
The justices broke down the building blocks of life into terms they could understand better, such as bodily organs, Amazonian plants, baseball bats and chocolate chip cookies.
The last analogy was provided by Sonia Sotomayor.
Like a kid trying to impress her science teacher, she piped up 38 times for questions during the hour, far ahead of the second-place Breyer (26) and just two shy of the combined output of Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the silent Clarence Thomas.
Sotomayor's fellow justices appeared exasperated with their know-it-all colleague; Chief Justice John Roberts extended one lawyer's time after Sotomayor badgered him with questions, and Alito tried to redirect the proceedings after she treated the court to an extended baking analogy.
"I can bake a chocolate chip cookie using natural ingredients: salt, flour, eggs, butter," she said.
"And if I (combine) those in some new way, I can get a patent on that. But I can't imagine getting a patent simply on the basic items."
As Myriad's attorney, Gregory Castanias, tried to answer, Sotomayor kept breaking in with kitchen talk: "So I put salt and flour, and that's different? Now you can get a patent on the flour?"
Castanias told her the question showed "the problem with using the really simplistic analogies, with all due respect."
There was laughter.
Based on the justices' questioning, there was little doubt that corporations such as Myriad have a legitimate claim to the DNA in our bodies.
The argument was mostly about whether corporations own the material itself or merely have the exclusive rights to use our genes for research and commerce.
Castanias likened the gene sequence the company clipped from the human genome to a baseball bat, because it "doesn't exist until it's isolated from a tree."
Roberts balked at this analogy. "You don't look at a tree and say, 'Well, I've cut the branch here and cut it here and all of a sudden I've got a baseball bat,"' he said.
Alito, too, asked about the bat, "which at least I can understand better than perhaps some of this biochemistry."
Alito likened the gene discovery to serendipity, like a tree branch that has "fallen into the ocean and it's been manipulated by the waves, and then something's been washed up on the shore, and — what do you know? — it's a baseball bat."
Elena Kagan preferred to liken the company's gene discovery to "the first person who found a liver."
And Breyer wondered if patent protection could apply to "anything from inside the body that you snip out and isolate."
Castanias assured the justices that the gene discovery was not at all comparable to patenting a slice of "liver, kidney, you know, gallbladder — pick your organ."
Alito chose a vegetable instead. "Suppose," he said, that medicinal benefits were found in "the leaves of a plant that grows in the Amazon."
Further, Alito proposed, "it's not just the case of taking the leaf off the tree and chewing it. … It's extracted and reduced to a concentrated form."
Thus began a harvest of horticultural hypotheticals:
"If we simply pick the leaf off the tree and swallow it "
"It's uprooted and taken out of the forest "
"Captain Ferno goes to the Amazon and discovers 50 new types of plants "
The justices were deep in the weeds — without a genetic map.

Jobs in Michigan are scarce these days, and Jim Marshall hasn't got one. But after 11 months in the greener employment pastures of Houston, with its humid heat and ample insect and snake life, Jim, his wife Sue, and their four children are just glad to be back in the frost belt.
''All of us are completely satisfied to be home,'' says Sue, who is working on a food co-op project at the kitchen table of her handsomely restored five-bedroom house. It was only rented while they were away, so they were able to move back in when the experiment didn't pan out.
''I knew I wanted to come back after I was there two weeks,'' she recalls. ''I have no desire to go anywhere else at all at this point, and I don't think I'll ever go back down there, even to visit.''
The Marshalls went South in July 1980 to help relatives with an oil drilling operation about 35 miles outside of Houston. Unlike many others who have fled unemployment in the North, Jim had a job when he left - as a linesman for the Consumer Power & Electric Company - and he had one lined up at the new location. Many who move are out of work, have exhausted their unemployment benefits, and have no firm job offer at the other end.
''We went strictly for the money - we were hoping to make so much more,'' says Sue. The money in Texas was all right, but other facets of Sunbelt living finally pushed them back home. One hundred degree daily heat, cramped living quarters in a trailer, and protecting the children from red fire ants and rattlesnakes were a few of the challenges.
While the Marshalls went south for the money, others are moving back to the North for the same reason. Skilled workers tend to earn as much in the nonunion Sunbelt states as up north, but relatively unskilled assembly-line workers, used to $12-to-$14 an hour, often have to settle for half that wage and they find housing harder to get and more expensive.
''Some who come back here say they couldn't find a place to live that wouldn't cost them an arm and a leg,'' says one interviewer with the Michigan Employment Security Office in Dearborn, home of the Ford Motor Company. ''A lot of the auto workers are finding there aren't any common labor jobs - you're either a dishwasher or an electronic technician.''
''It's not so much disappointment at not finding a job as that many of them can't afford to work for the salaries they're getting,'' agrees Jane MacLaren, an interviewer in the Lansing Job Service Office.
Keepers of labor statistics do not have an accurate count or even good estimate of how many of those who headed south have actually returned. Indeed, most who move stick with a one-way trip. But both moving companies and employment offices confirm that reverse migration is occurring.
''We have them come in all the time - they account for about half of all the people coming to our adjudication unit,'' says Mary Riley, a supervisor with the state unemployment compensation office in the Detroit suburb of Livonia.
''Most of those coming back have family ties and just feel more comfortable here,'' says John Gromo, a Detroit sales representative with Mayflower of Michigan, a moving firm. ''They find jobs, but often the income is less and there's a very difficult adjustment period.''
''I think it's normal to get some backflow,'' suggests Dr. Allan Hunt, a senior research economist with the Michigan-based Upjohn Institute for Employment Research. ''People miss the support of family and friends in strange places. . . . And a lot of people probably aren't as well informed about the job prospects as they might be before making the leap, and realize in the end that they've made a mistake.''
The Marshalls' disillusionment with the Sunbelt is shared by Ann and Brian Stine of St. John's, Mich. They headed for Corpus Christi, Texas, last February after Mr. Stine was laid off by a lumber company. In Texas he did odd jobs at the minimum wage, scarcely enough to meet the $450 monthly rent for their three-bedroom accommodations. He had wanted an oil rig job, but saw it would keep him away from his family for long hours, even weeks at a time. One month later the family decided to return home, and he got his old job back.
''There are a lot of jobs down there, but what we had back here was better than what we had down there,'' explains Ann Stine.
Jim Marshall was not so fortunate as Brian Stine on reaching his old home base. When he returned, his old job was gone, and he hasn't yet been able to find permanent work.
''He'd like to work for an oil company, but we can't get past the secretaries to get an appointment,'' says Sue. ''It's probably a good thing we didn't know the job market was this tight or we might never have come back.''
Clyde Duncan, assistant manager of the Michigan Employment Security Office in Livonia, offers this note of caution to anyone thinking of relocating: ''If you don't have a job, don't go.''
Bill Kastanier, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Labor, adds a warning that a lot of the jobs in the South may be more demanding than what Northern assembly-line workers have grown used to.
''A lot of the unskilled jobs are very physical,'' he says. ''I don't want to say that Michiganites aren't used to 12-to-14 hour workdays, but if you haven't done that for a long time it can be long and arduous.''
At the same time as some Northerners are heading home after job forays in the Sunbelt, others who originally came north during World War II are returning to the South. Craig Morningstar, who supervises state employment services in Ypsilanti, Mich., says that many of the Southerners who moved there in the 1940s to work in auto and bomber plants are now moving ''home'' to Arkansas, Kentucky, and Alabama, where they still have family ties.
Mayflower's John Gromo says that a number of blacks and whites from the South who live in East Detroit have been joining in this migration.
''They don't necessarily have jobs, but they feel they can survive better where they have relatives,'' he says. ''It's the old-timers, and their main concern is getting away from the violence, the lack of jobs, and the expense.''

Vote! Who Was the Best Dressed Celebrity of the Week?
Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, Miley Cyrus, Reese Witherspoon, Natalie Portman (Getty, Bauer Griffin)It was a week full of galas and decadent celebrations, which of course brought about some seriously stunning style moments.
First, Kate Beckinsale set the red carpet ablaze at the Pink Party in Santa Monica. She wore a draped crimson Donna Karan design with black and gold accessories. Sexy doesn't do it justice. Miley Cyrus was next up in her mermaid Marc Jacobs gown at the Night of Stars in NYC—a side of the pop star we hope to see much more of. Meanwhile, in Beverly Hills there was a plethora of hyper-chic ladies at Elle's Women in Hollywood celebration. Reese Witherspoon, however, stood out in her bright but minimal Calvin Klein strapless dress.
Natalie Portman had three phenomenal looks these past five days, but our favorite happened to be one off the red carpet. It was the Audrey-esque combination of a fit-and-flare LBD with a classic white coat that really made us swoon. Last, but not least, Jessica Alba rounded out the week in a long-sleeve white number by Wes Gordon. While the dress was flat out smoking, that on-point burgundy lip is what won us over.
Now, you tell us, who was the most fashionable of them all?

I made some really really big mistakes when planning for my wedding, and I regret them so much 🙁 Mainly, I didn't follow my plan if the weather forecast looked bad, and I didn't really come up with a great rain plan anyway for my outdoor wedding. I just had an open tent with no sides, and I knew I needed to get tent sides if it looked like it was going to rain, but somehow I choked and never ended up doing it. It was like I froze in the last few days before the wedding and got overwhelmed with everything unimportant thing I still needed to do, yet I didn't do the most important thing of all. There was a huge scary storm, my guests near the sides were poured on, and the tent flooded with about an inch of water. I feel so terrible and mad at myself for not doing something I knew was really important. I'm normally organized and responsible, but somehow I was such an idiot during wedding planning and I wish I could go back and do everything differently.
Did anyone else feel like they made a huge mistake at their wedding, or have any advice for how to get past their mistakes?

IT was two days after Fat Tuesday, and this city had begun the annual jag of repentance known as Lent. But Kim Sunée, a Korean-born writer, was experiencing powerful food lusts, as she often does. These cravings propelled her out of her hotel room and into Rio Mar, an unassuming fish house in the warehouse district that feels like some dim, delicious corner of Spain.
Ms. Sunée, 37, was back in the town where she was raised, on a whirlwind tour for her first book, a compelling, confessional memoir entitled "Trail of Crumbs: Hunger, Love and the Search for Home" (Grand Central). Wearing a fitted brown velvet coat with a confetti of appliqués, she looked more Paris than Big Easy. She settled into a dark corner, gracefully slipped off her very high heels and, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, ordered roughly half the menu.
Boquerones, or grilled white anchovies in vinegar. Drum seviche with habanero peppers. The burnished half-moon of a tuna empanada in an almond-rich romesco sauce. Crispy rouget fillets crowned with caper-tomato-shallot confit. Enormous garlicky shrimp, octopus with paprika, a pair of nearly black blood sausages.
"You wouldn't have any razor clams, would you?" she asked the waiter as he struggled to arrange the plates eclipsing the tabletop. He did and brought them. Then, as if this untouched feast were the Eiffel Tower or a friend's face, she whipped out a camera and lovingly photographed it.
"Some people travel to see monuments," Ms. Sunée said. "I travel to eat." She keeps a food blog and is also the food editor of Cottage Living, a magazine based in Birmingham, Ala., where she lives in an apartment with virtually nothing on the walls, one nine-foot-long table, one bed and many unpacked boxes of books.
Ms. Sunée's memoir chronicles her life so far — its physical and emotional hungers and the rapturous meals she has eaten or cooked while searching the world for love, a convincing identity and a sense, still elusive, of being at home.Continue reading the main story
In 1973, when she was 3, her mother abandoned her in a crowded South Korean market swirling in gray mist and banana flowers. "Although memories are distorted," she writes, "there are true sensations one doesn't forget, like fear and hunger, deep rumblings echoing in a cavernous heart and belly." Three days later, policemen found her clutching a fistful of crumbs and repeating her mother's unkept promise to return.
Adopted by a middle-class family in New Orleans, Ms. Sunée grew up in comfortable circumstances but with a growing sense of dislocation and restlessness. (Her surname, pronounced soo-NAY, is based on the name of a younger sister, also adopted, and was given to them by their adoptive parents.) Her parents, especially her mother, seemed distracted and brittle to her. Since the book was published in January, Ms. Sunée said, she and her mother have not spoken.
Her earliest memories have always been of hunger and food, especially her beloved grandfather's gumbo, mirliton casserole studded with lump crab meat, and spicy crayfish bisque floating with stuffed crayfish heads. "He wasn't a fancy cook," she said of her grandfather, who used to feed homeless people at his table and occasionally don her great-aunt's wig to do Julia Child imitations in falsetto. "But he was generous of heart."
By 22, she was a worldly, well-read poet fluent in French, English and Swedish. Living in Stockholm and feeling acutely homeless, she went to a friend's house for dinner one night, met a French businessman 17 years her senior and fell in love. He was Olivier Baussan, founder of L'Occitane, the line of natural soaps and cosmetics. Six months later, Ms. Sunée moved into his vast Provençal farmhouse, built before the French Revolution.
As landings go, this one was like tumbling into a feather bed — especially for a confirmed gourmand like Ms. Sunée. The rolling estate, backing onto a forest, has buried truffles to hunt in winter, and fig, plum and wild peach trees to plunder in spring and summer. It isn't far from a winding village market with "beautiful Provençal tablecloths, tapenade vendors, wonderful cheesemakers and fresh flowers — always the long branches of lemon verbena, so fragrant," Ms. Sunée remembered. "And a big jambon à l'os they shaved off the bone."
Most chapters of "Trail of Crumbs" end with evocative recipes gleaned from places she has traveled or lived, including Korea, Sweden, Louisiana and France.
"The French food in her book is so distinctive and sensuous that the recipes seem like sonnets or odes," said Frances Mayes, a friend of Ms. Sunée and the author of "Under the Tuscan Sun" and other food-laced memoirs. The recipes, Ms. Mayes said in an e-mail interview, "indicate a sensibility as much as they do a talent for cooking — here's someone who intuits that the best food is not only the food that emanates from a place, but something more subtle."
Ms. Sunée became Mr. Baussan's travel companion and the chatelaine of his estate in Provence and his apartment in Paris. Meals were gorgeous, profligate rituals that ate up most of the day. She learned to cook daube, soupe d'épeautre and apricot clafoutis like the best of the locals, and she fed boisterous impromptu groups of 30 as a matter of course. She also took care of Mr. Baussan's young daughter, Laure, and became, in her own mind, "a makeshift mother, this clueless substitute." Later Mr. Baussan presented her with her own poetry bookstore at the tip of the Île St.-Louis in Paris, where she found a literary community.
Somehow unhappiness crept in. Dreams of her shadowy birth mother continued to haunt her, and the French scenario felt, in the end, like somebody else's life. She felt insubstantial, especially compared with Mr. Baussan, so successful and "so rooted in Provence that he smelled like citrus and sandalwood." After five years, she left him.
As if Ms. Sunée were some overly convincing soap opera star, readers regularly write to urge her to get back together with Mr. Baussan. She also receives copious e-mail from Korean orphans who identify with her lack of identity and seem to understand better why she left him.
"If you don't have a sense of who you are, nobody can give you that, no matter how beautiful, wrapped up, perfect and idyllic," she said. "For some people, the idyll would be enough. But not having any strong sense of self, I had no foundation to accept anything, especially such an abundance of love."
As an older and wiser professional woman who is still single, is she sorry she walked out of paradise? Ms. Sunée forked up a bite of achingly sweet tres leches cake and cited the Édith Piaf song "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien."
"I don't regret anything," she said.
Before she left Europe and moved back to New Orleans and later Birmingham to write the book, she underwent psychoanalysis in France. It taught her to take everything in her life — all the pain and darkness — and transform it into something usable.
Lately she's felt assaulted by the press attention her book has generated. Reviewers have harped on sensational aspects, underscoring the fact that she had an affair with a married man — Mr. Baussan, who had been separated for a year when she met him. One interviewer asked if she ever learned why her mother had abandoned her. "I should have said: 'Gee, I don't know. Maybe I should text message her.' "
She has come to believe that abandoning a child can be an act of love, she said: "I survived. More than survived."
Her appetite for experience, love and feasting remains strong. While in New Orleans, she stayed at the Windsor Court Hotel with a friend and spent inordinate amounts of time with him in its fancy Polo Club Lounge, fascinated as a bartender named Roger theatrically concocted Sazeracs.
"I'm not a cocktail kind of girl," she said. "But this bartender had so much passion. It's almost like a relationship: the precise balance of the ingredients that go into it, especially the bitters, right? Then you drink it, and it becomes completely reckless."
She and her friend smuggled their Sazeracs into the men's steam room. "Oh no, I'm sure there's some medical warning that you're not supposed to drink a Sazerac in a steam room," she said, laughing. "I'll never be allowed in that hotel again."
In a hibernating mood, she and her friend did not spend much time in restaurants. Instead she cooked gnocchi in their room, using lump crab meat, crème fraîche and Meyer lemon zest.
"There are so many clichés about love, food and cooking," she said. "But cooking with your lover is a great way to see where your relationship is. I have been called an alpha cook, but when I am in love, the man can put as much salt, cream and butter into the dish as he wants. Even if it's ruined, it's still the best dish you've ever eaten."Continue reading the main story

Krux Doubles Client Roster in the First Half of 2011, Advances Key Alliances, and Sets the Market Standard
Krux Doubles Client Roster in the First Half of 2011, Advances Key Alliances, and Sets the Market Standard
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Aug 16, 2011) - Krux Digital reported the widespread adoption of its solution suite across a diverse mix of digital publishers and website operators, with its US and European client count growing to twenty-five through the end of Q2 2011. Since January, Krux more than doubled its client roster, including broad reach media companies such as Reuters, IDG, and IPC Media and niche and vertical-specific operators such as Salary.com, Univision, Spartz Media, and Grooveshark.
Krux has also recently formed an alliance with Acceleration (acceleration.biz), a leading consulting and systems integration firm in the marketing technology space in the US and Europe. "We're thrilled to be working with the Krux team to help solve the very significant data management challenges publishers currently face," says Stephan Pretorius, president of Acceleration. "From our experience in the market, it's clear that Krux leads in solution breadth and technical foundation, and they are completely unencumbered by legacy business models. Their strong vision for the protection, management, and monetization of publisher data reflects skills that all publishers will need to master to survive in the shifting digital advertising landscape."
Since Krux's public launch in August 2010, the company has gained significant market traction and delivered a comprehensive Consumer Internet Data Management (CIDM) platform. Through the adoption and deployment of Krux CIDM, digital publishers and website operators are able to protect, manage, and responsibly monetize consumer data signatures across multiple devices types, sources, and formats. More than twenty-five leading publishers and website operators have joined its client roster. Krux distinguishes itself from the many adjacent 'DMP' providers by offering its clients a scalable consumer data platform while also adhering to a strict market-neutral posture.
As Krux co-Founder and CEO Tom Chavez explained, "Our core objective is to help our clients catalyze new revenue from the responsible, intelligent application of consumer data to improve advertising, content, and commerce experiences. We're humbled by the roster of clients who have chosen to partner with us in meeting the demands of the increasingly data-driven, consumer-led web ecosystem." Mr. Chavez continued, "Other solution providers gross up revenues by building business models that compete with the companies they are supposed to be supporting. Enabling others' business is our business. We sleep well at night knowing we'll never find ourselves at cross purposes with our customers and partners."
Krux's CIDM platform has been well received by a broad spectrum of digital publishers and website operators. Krux arms those companies with the technology and expertise needed to effectively compete in the data game. Krux solutions deliver improved website data security; faster pages and richer consumer experiences; analytic intelligence to understand and measure which audiences drive highest engagement and revenue; and the infrastructure to improve revenue from content, commerce, and advertising.
About Krux Digital:
Krux Digital, Inc., founded in early 2010, gives websites a platform to safeguard, manage, and make responsible use of consumer data signatures across multiple devices, sources, and formats. With Krux, websites become more secure, more intelligent conduits of consumer interests, behaviors, and intent. With Krux, consumers gain confidence that their favorite websites are operating under the plain light of day. More than twenty leading publishers and website operators in the US and Europe have adopted Krux technology, including companies such as Thomson Reuters, IDG, IPC Media, and Salary.com.

The October half-term holiday.
That came around quicker than most of us expected, and if you're like me, you probably haven't made any solid plans yet. When it comes to work, planning is something I'm on top of. And yet when it comes to family life, we kind of fly by the seat of our pants. Well, you have to, don't you? Who knows what's going to crop up during the course of a day, or a week.
You could plan your days and weeks as meticulously as you dare, but it's unlikely to stick.
But still, when it comes to the holidays, you find yourself wishing you'd set up a more solid plan and had a few days out tucked up your sleeve.
So, here's a plan.
Are you on Instagram? If you are, you might be familiar with the various challenges you see crop up in your feed.
When Wiki Places For Kids mentioned a parenting/half-term holiday challenge to me and suggested that parents set their own challenge, I wanted to share this idea with all the other parents I know to join in the fun.
It's a simple concept. Make memories, not stress.
To make your half-term holiday one to remember, rather than one fuelled with hair-pulling (that's you, not the kids). A holiday to help you enjoy your children and cherish the short time you have with them. The short time before they morph into
unresponsive teens independent young adults who want to do their own thing, and think parents are embarrassing (sadly, it happens).
5 themes. 5 days. 5 challenges
- Indoor Play
- Forest walk
- Park time
- Animals
- Culture
They can be anything.
Indoor play doesn't have to be expensive soft-play. It might just feature den-building indoors with some cushions and blankets. Or you could use the site wikiplacesforkids.com for some pointers on where to go, if you need to take the kids to burn off some energy and love to get involved in the soft-play antics.
Round up the kiddies and take them to your nearest forest, to see how many different shaped leaves you can find.
Take them to the park at least once in the week.
Go animal-spotting at a zoo, an open-farm, or even on a woodland walk. You could even write a list of common animals for your children to spot, and have a prize for the winner (and something for the runners-up, because no-one likes to be a loser).
Experience some culture. Visit a museum. Your local library.
The linked photos are just a few ideas to kick-start your thought process.
It's a simple process; make memories, not stress.
So go on, get involved, and share your adventures with WikiPlacesForKids on social media, hashtag #WikiVentures and be part of something fun!
This post was written for WikiPlacesForKids.com, THE place to go for epic days out, or that much needed hour out of the house.
