Long Weekend in Negril, Jamaica
A few weeks ago I posted a “sneak peek” of my long weekend in Negril, Jamaica. It was a spontaneous, much-needed getaway, which turned out to be exactly what I needed. If you are contemplating a vacation or extended weekend away any time soon, here’s why you should make Negril your next destination.
Why Negril? One word: easy. Although it might not seem like the ideal place for a quick getaway, Negril is actually a quick 1 hour and 15 minute direct flight from Miami to Montego Bay. Once you land, take a shared van for about $25 per person. The ride is 1-2 hours depending on traffic, but it’s a scenic route with plenty to see and take in. (Sidenote: once in Negril, hit up our man Tony as your driver, a rare gem amongst Taxi drivers. Very knowledgeable about local spots. Example: “Where can we buy the best mangos?” Present him with a Cran Wata (cranberry water) to get on his good side. His number is (876) 893-4645 ).
We stayed at Rockhouse Boutique Hotel and Spa and highly recommend it. This spot offers amazing villas right on the cliffs overlooking crystal clear water. It’s very private and peaceful, providing access to the water right from your villa: use the ladder or jump from either the bridge or cliffs into the pristine water and explore the reefs and caves. An outdoor shower at your villa awaits after your saltwater swim.
The Rockhouse staff is amazing. Want a plate of chilled mangos delivered to your room at midnight? “No problem, mon”. The spa will even accommodate your massage right on the cliff’s edge.
As for food, Rockhouse features two great restaurants on location. Push Cart Restaurant and Rum Bar offers delicious local food. For an unforgettable sunset experience, check out Rockhouse Restaurant and Bar. I really enjoyed the jerk tacos (ask to add mango chutney and fried plantains). Great offsite eats include Three Dives, a spot favored by both locals and tourists alike for its jerk chicken. The jerk chicken at this ocean-side shack was hands down the best we tried. Don’t go too early because the grill gets fired up around 3pm. Another noteworthy restaurant is Catch a Falling Star; here you enjoy a charming ambiance and outdoor seating at the cliffs’ edge while your local snapper dish is served to you in a papaya bowl.
There’s really no need to leave “The Rock”. However, if you choose to venture into town for some local flavor, hustlers are very persistent. Use humor to quickly ward them off, or just a simple but firm “no thanks” does the trick. No need to exchange US dollars for Jamaican money but do be sure to carry small bills as places often only accept cash.
Fun fact about Negril: Patwa, the local language is made up of English words and slang in a Mad Gab fashion. (Example: be quiet would be “kippa” as in “Kippa ya mout shut”). Try listening to culture music and attempting to decipher words. I recommend downloading some “I Wayne” music or better yet, stop by Alfred’s or Bourbon for some live reggae and culture music.
Negril offers plenty of activities after you’ve had your fill of downtime. If you feel especially adventurous you can go scuba diving at Negril Scuba Center. If you are new to scuba diving as my girlfriend was, you can sign up for an hour pool scuba training course followed by an hour supervised dive. American instructor, David Wallace, was patient, safety-minded and informative. The pool could use a cleaning but otherwise we would give the program 5 star rating.
Another noteworthy activity is the zip line tour. During this two hour tour, a quirky staff takes you on a bumpy truck ride to some seriously long zip lines and amazing views. The company can pick you up from your hotel in Negril, but if you prefer to arrange your own transportation, try to get a jeep as the roads are pretty bad. We did this trip on our way back to the airport – a memorable ending to an unforgettable weekend in Negril.

Not a family restaurant. We have been to many family restaurants and never been treated as we were. We were in Cadott for business and after stopped for lunch. Waitress came to table and we asked for specials; (she said they are on the board) we did not see any specials in site when we walked in. Waitress returned to our table 20 minutes later and said that they were out of the soup that was ordered; and had two choices. I did not care for the choices; at which time she tells us the our other order is ready. We had a choice to eat soup did not order or like, sit and watch husband eat. We considered how we were treated and decided to leave the restaurant; we had not gotten what we had ordered and have never been treated so rudely.TUGGER'S CAFE at 123 W Lincoln Augusta in minutes away; great home cooked food; clean; nice, happy, friendly humans!

Director: John Boorman Cast: Nicol Williamson, Nigel Terry, Nicholas Clay, Helen
Mirren, Gabriel Byrne, Liam Neeson, Patrick Stewart
Review: I’ve always found the legend of King Aurthur and the Knights
of the Round Table interesting because it is a layered story that branches out into many
themes. It covers many aspects of the human condition and augments how selfish
we can be, how imperfect we truly are and how uncontrollable human emotions can
be. This is exemplified in the story by the raging passions that permeate throughout
every generation portrayed in the film. From father to son, to grandson, wild
passions overtake logic and reason, leading most of the time to tragedy. It is
a story that urges us to control our passions and listen to reason, because
often times uncontrolled passions can destroy entire lives. This is
demonstrated through the character of Lancelot, one of King Arthur’s most
trusted knights. Lancelot falls in love with King Aurthur’s wife, Lady
Guenevere. In this story, Lancelot cares not for the catastrophic results of his
secret love affair, he only cares for satisfying his passions and lust. Every time
someone falls in love in Excalibur, the results are catastrophic. In many ways,
love, lust and passion are demonized in this story, which of course demonstrates
how this story is meant to propagate Christian ideals and mentalities, which of
course rubs me the wrong way. I’ve always hated how the bible demonizes sexuality;
at the end of the day sexuality is one of humanities strongest and most natural
traits. But what the hell, I still love this story, I always root for Merlin
the Magician who always comes off as the wisest of the bunch. He tells one of
the passionate lovers “You are not listening. Well, your heart is not. Love is
deaf as well as blind” Funny how it is Merlin, a follower of the old ways, a
magician, who ends up being the wisest character in the film.
This battle between the old religions and Christianity is at
the crux of Excalibur. This is a story of the battle between pagan religions,
which are centered around magic and old gods, and the new ways of Christianity which are centered around the teachings of the bible. It’s true, this story can be seen
as Christian propaganda in some ways, yet, I find it fascinating how it has
always demonstrated that Christianity wasn’t always there, it had to shoehorn its
way into society. Once upon a time things weren’t about Jesus and going to
heaven, a whole other slew of beliefs comforted people. Fascinating how
humanity has always needed that psychological support in life, something to make
us think we are not all alone in this universe. It’s the idea that something is
watching over them that humanity has always found themselves lulled into. At
one point in the story, when Arthur’s kingdom is in shambles and going through
a particularly rough time, the solution is to go and find “the holy grail” the
cup that Christ drank from during the last supper. Supposedly, this cup will
bring peace and happiness to the kingdom. But of course, we all know what this cup
really exemplifies: the idea that society needs religion and its established
morals to function properly. The idea
being that without Christianities values and ideals, we are lost. I of course
don’t agree with this side of the story because as the story demonstrates, no
matter how much you have Christ in your lives, human passions are always
stronger, the human side dominates. Mistakes are made, but these are mistakes
we can learn from. And call me old fashion, but I like to believe we are better
then that, I like to believe humanity is essentially good at heart, with the
exception of a few rotten apples. But, I also recognize that no matter how
idealistically we look at humanity, there’s always the ideal of what we want to
be, and then there’s what we are. A continually learning, evolving race of
This is also a story
that deals with politics and power, and the importance of learning to hone that
power properly, not abuse it. The sword,
Excalibur, represents power that when used wisely is meant to “unite all men”.
I thought it was so interesting how in this film, John Boorman’s Excalibur, King
Arthur actually breaks the sword in half because of his uncontrollable rage,
his abuse of power. Merlin tells him “You have broken what could not be broken.
Now hope is broken” showing once again what happens to people when they see
their leaders abuse power; a feeling of hopelessness takes over the land. This
is also exemplified in the story with King Uther, who was also obsessed with owning
the sword of power. At one point Uther tells Merlin “The sword, you promised
the sword! I need the sword to be king!” and Merlin tells him “And you shall have it,
but to heal, not to hack” letting us know that the true nature of power is to
bring peace to its people, not to obliterate them or abuse them which is what often
times happens with those in power, they end up using it against those they are
supposed to protect and serve.
The story of Arthur and his knights has been told many
times, each version focusing on whatever part of the story they want to focus
on, some focus more on the magical side of things while others focus more on
the romance between Guenevere and Lancelot, for example Jerry Zucker’s First
Knight (1995) is like that. It stars Richard Gere as Lancelot and Sean Connery
as King Arthur and it was more of a romantic story of how the passion between
Lancelot and Guenevere destroys a kingdom. One of my personal favorite versions
of this story has always been Merlin (1998). On this television mini-series Sam
Neil plays Merlin the Magician and Miranda Richardson plays The Lady of the
Lake and an extremely memorable Queen Mab. In this mini-series directed by
Steve Barron, the story is told from the perspective of Merlin himself; we
actually get to know the magicians origins. This time around, it’s his story
and since it’s a mini-series, the filmmakers really elaborated on the tale and
even expanded it. Merlin is an extremely fun film with great visual effects and
amazing performances from an equally great cast, highly recommend you check
that mini-series out. John Boorman’s
Excalibur is one of the best versions of the story as well, it’s an epic and
lush production, hell, it even gets a bit surreal with its dream sequences and
visions. But knowing Boorman, this shouldn’t surprise anyone. After all, this
is the director who gave us Zardoz (1974), one of the trippiest movies ever
made. On this version of the story Boorman chose to diminish the focus on the
magical aspects. If there is magic, it is a subtle thing and handled through
the use of practical effects, which is a breath of fresh air in this CGI
dominated world. A lot of the magical aspects were handled through the use of
imaginative lighting and old school effects, it was a smoke and mirrors type of
production. I have to give props to John Boorman for the look of the
film, an aspect of it that got many accolades from critics when it was first
released. Excalibur also gave Liam Neeson his first shot at acting in a full
length feature film. Patrick Stewart also plays one of Arthur’s knights. And
speaking of the knights, they all wear these shiny armors that give them a god
like feel which by the way, is one of the other themes that the film also
touches upon, man thinking themselves gods end up needing Christ because they
couldn’t handle the power of godhood. As you can see, this is a story and a
film that touches upon many relevant themes dealing with the human condition,
but above all it augments the ugly side of human nature, our worst qualities, it
does this to hopefully stimulate us into being better human beings.
Excalibur (1981),
Great review Franco. This is probably my favourite version of the King Arthur myth. I love the kind of dream-like atmosphere to it all. All that green lighting everywhere. Apparently Boorman was trying to film Lord of the Rings but the rights fell through at the last minute so he used the sets and costumes for this!I also really enjoyed Steve Barron's miniseries Merlin. Need to give that another watch some day.
This is true, Boorman was aiming to make his Lord of the Rings, but since he didn't manage to get the rights for that, he did this one instead, which was still a dream project of his anyways. The green lighting is the kind of old school techniques he used to make things look "magical" or just a little off kilter, he also reflected a gold light off the metalic set built for the castle of Camelot. Steve Barron's mini-series is awesome, I love that cast, Miranda Richardson is awesome in that one. Also we get Martin Short as Frik, Helena Bonham Carter as Morgana and Rutger Hauer as King Vortigern. Even Isabella Rosellini's in it as Nimue!I still revisit this series every once in a while, I think its a great achievement, one of the best mini series Ive ever seen, along with The Oddyssey (1997) the one that starred Armand Assante as Odysseus, highly recommend that one if you haven't seen it Jack! It was produced by Francis Ford Coppola. February 26, 2013 at 12:52 PM
Helen Mirren was all kinds of awesome in this film and her portrayal of Morgana Le Fay is one of the best ever put on film. I haven't thought about this film in ages and am really curious to revisit it.Another fantastic review!
Jimmie: yeah, Excalibur is great and I'm a huge fan of Time Bandits, but then again, I'm a huge fan of almost everything Terry Gilliam has made. March 1, 2013 at 1:38 PM

... In Search of Severe Weather: Jul 4, 2007
On July 8, 1776, the first public readings of the Declaration were held in Philadelphia’s Independence Square to the ringing of bells and band music. All of this had occurred with some of the delegates to the Congress not even present; New York, for example, did not even vote on the resolution until July 9th. (Did you know that that not a single signature was appended to the Declaration on July 4th. While most of the fifty-six names were in place by early August, one signer, Thomas McKean, did not actually sign the Declaration until 1781.)
Remember today is your, Independence Day.... Make the best of it!

How well do I welcome others?
It is so easy in this busy-centered society of ours to make welcoming an aside -- to brush it off.

Best anniversary ever! - Review of Hotel Victoria
Good location. Small rooms. Perfect for 1 night stay.
Unsure of where to stay in Toronto, I booked this place based on location/price/reviews. Pleasantly surprised. Great location. 2 minute walk to King subway station. 10 minute easy walk to Union Train station. Small rooms (i.e. bedroom size rather than a suite) but clean, comfortable. Free wifi. Good heating. Close by to a Shoppers Drug Mart; pub across the street; Subway next store. The hotel has a small restaurant but limited hours. There are lots of places nearby to eat so this wasn't a problem. They allowed me to check in early so I appreciated the customer service. Elevator seemed a bit slow but this would be my only criticism.
Was perfect place that met all of my needs for a quick business trip into town. Highly recommend.

A Gem - Already Booked My Next Stay
Was in Toronto in the fall (Oct. 2011) for meetings and was looking for somewhere to stay for 9 nights. While looking for a reasonably priced room I stumbled upon The Victoria Hotel. It was the terrific rate that caught my attention. The posted reviews were mostly positive (and the negative ones, I've decided after my stay, can mostly be dismissed). I did heed the comments of the small size of the standard rooms and booked a one of the larger rooms which was quite roomy. I had a single room with a king bed, sitting area, work station, good size bath and FREE Wi-Fi, plus free Netflix (although worthwhile movie choices are limited - not a hotel issue). My room faced Yonge St. but the street noise was not an issue on any of the nights during my stay. I know it's only a 3 star hotel but my only complaint, while 2 actually, would be 1) no bag liner for the ice bucket (grocery store bags for fresh produce worked well) and 2) no glassware for drinks, only small, flimsy plastic cups (a trip to a dollar store rectified that problem). The basement area where the ice machine is can be described as claustrophobic but clean and also a small book exchange table with a couple of good reads. If I had a car, I would be put off by no on site parking, but no need for a car with the proximity of the hotel to downtown venues, entertainment, dining and shopping. It is also just steps away from the subway and The PATH (underground walkway). The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. Enjoy.

Ancient city discovered deep in Amazonian rainforest linked to the legendary white-skinned Cloud People of Peru By
20:44 EST, 3 December 2008
A lost city discovered deep in the Amazon rainforest could unlock the secrets of a legendary tribe. Little is known about the Cloud People of Peru, an ancient, white-skinned civilisation wiped out by disease and war in the 16th century. But now archaeologists have uncovered a fortified citadel in a remote mountainous area of Peru known for its isolated natural beauty. An ancient Chachapoyas village located close to the area where the lost city was found It is thought this settlement may finally help historians unlock the secrets of the 'white warriors of the clouds'. The tribe had white skin and blonde hair - features which intrigue historians, as there is no known European ancestry in the region, where most inhabitants are darker skinned. The citadel is tucked away in one of the most far-flung areas of the Amazon. It sits at the edge of a chasm which the tribe may have used as a lookout to spy on enemies. The area where the lost city was discovered by a team of archaeologists The Chachapoyas, also called the Warriors of the Clouds, were an Andean people living in the cloud forests of the Amazonian region of present-day PeruThe main encampment is made up of circular stone houses overgrown by jungle over 12 acres, according to archaeologist Benedict Goicochea Perez.Rock paintings cover some of the fortifications and next to the dwellings are platforms believed to have been used to grind seeds and plants for food and medicine. The Cloud People once commanded a vast kingdom stretching across the Andes to the fringes of Peru's northern Amazon jungle, before it was conquered by the Incas. The city was found in Amazonian rainforest in northern Peru A mummy of a baby from the Chachapoyas cultureNamed because they lived in rainforests filled with cloud-like mist, the tribe later sided with the Spanish-colonialists to defeat the Incas.But they were killed by epidemics of European diseases, such as measles and smallpox. Much of their way of life, dating back to the ninth century, was also destroyed by pillaging, leaving little for archaeologists to examine. Remains have been found before but scientists have high hopes of the latest find, made by an expedition to the Jamalca district in Peru's Utcubamba province, about 500 miles north-east of the capital, Lima.Until recently, much of what was known about the lost civilisation was from Inca legends. Even the name they called themselves is unknown. The term Chachapoyas, or 'Cloud People', was given to them by the Incas. Their culture is best known for the Kuellap fortress on the top of a mountain in Utcubamba, which can only be compared in scale to the Incas' Machu Picchu retreat, built hundreds of years later. Two years ago, archaeologists found an underground burial vault inside a cave with five mummies, two intact with skin and hair. Chachapoyas chronicler Pedro Cieza de Leon wrote of the tribe: 'They are the whitest and most handsome of all the people that I have seen, and their wives were so beautiful that because of their gentleness, many of them deserved to be the Incas' wives and to also be taken to the Sun Temple. 'The women and their husbands always dressed in woollen clothes and in their heads they wear their llautos [a woollen turban], which are a sign they wear to be known everywhere.' Enlarge
Secret civilisation: a map of the region where the settlement was found The Chachapoyas' territory was located in the northern regions of the Andes in present-day Peru. It encompassed the triangular region formed by the confluence of the Maranon and Utcubamba rivers, in the zone of Bagua, up to the basin of the Abiseo river. The Maranon's size and the mountainous terrain meant the region was relatively isolated. Share or comment on this article

Big Bother - The Longest Journey
Jun. 8th, 2005 at 12:56 PM
I'm not sure this is quite what the BBC intended, but last night I decided I should make the effort to watch a little of Big Brother in preparation for this weekend's Doctor Who episode.
Ye gods, but this year's housemates are a bunch of petty and characterless individuals, aren't they? Admittedly, I was watching the live feed on E4, so it wasn't edited to present the most interesting moments, but still. One lot were sitting around in some kind of conservatory, bitching about the washing up, while another lot were in the kitchen, telling each other to stop singing. Living on my own as I do, I can usually tolerate the most tedious dross for the sake of some background babble... but this got switched off within ten minutes.
I wonder if the BBC made their own set for the Doctor Who story, or paid Channel 4 for the use of theirs? Perhaps this will become obvious on Saturday. I'm betting the BBC would have preferred to hire, and I should think Channel 4 would have been happy to take both the money and the publicity, assuming that the show isn't too roundly trashed.
Jun. 8th, 2005 12:17 pm (UTC)
BBC paid Endemol to use the logo, house and diary room chair.
They used the house from last year (layout changes every year) and the red chair in the Dr Who BB diary room is from BB3 (2002) when the house got divided into a rich side/poor side. The eye logo is from last year, when BB turned evil.
Jun. 8th, 2005 03:10 pm (UTC)
I don't actually like Big Brother either, but I've noticed in recent years it's not constantly shoved in our faces.
The idea of watching a dozen strangers in a house, most of the time their sleeping, is not exciting and original tv to me.
Though I've a better idea of what they could have instead, lock them all in a massive surreal maze, each day they must find their own food, drink ect. and try to escape. Something like The Prisoner, but make it real.
Then again, I hate reality tv anyway.

Your idea is way better! I'd definitely watch that.

I think your whole entry reeks of sexual overtones. I'm feeling quite randy myself right now. I'm in a good mind to put on a little Paula Abdul and gyrate my hips.

Sorry to go off topic, but I saw from your header image that Florida is in your region. Any emergent groups near Naples? If so, please email at jamie@arpin-ricci.com, as there a friend in the region looking for a connection.

Coast Guard’s Safety Focus for Spring: Kids! |
Coast Guard’s Safety Focus for Spring: Kids!
The U.S. Coast Guard is rolling out its annual boating safety awareness campaign leading up to National Safe Boating Week (May 19-25). The usual theme—educating boaters to check their safety equipment and vessel—has an unusual focus: kids.
To get the word out, Coast Guard members created a 14-minute digital cartoon with themes such as the importance of wearing a life jacket, not playing on the marine radio and escaping rip currents. Coast Guard members will use this video, along with activity and coloring books, in classrooms where they’ve been invited to speak. Using these tools, they hopefully will not only engage the kids, but educate them as well.
Kids may be the most inexperienced boaters, but given a few simple boating tips, they may prove to be invaluable hands, eyes and ears on board.
Read more on Drawing the Lines in the latest issue of the U.S. Coast Guard magazine.

Noise from balconies echoes through the complex so please take this into consideration at night so not to disturb the surrounding neighbours.
Renae is a warm person. She helped us a lots with the suggestions and prepared everything to us. I felt staying in my own house when I lived there. Her house was cleaned and very cosy. The location was convienience and easy to travel with bus.
Renae was a lovely host. She prepared everything we needed and even surprised me with a Congratulations banner when I came back from the marathon race! Her place was cozy and the location was perfect for me. We enjoyed the stay very much.
I would give Renae six stars for everything if I could. I have stayed in many places through Airbnb all across the world and Renae is easily the best host I have met. Her Unit is also great and very comfortable - loved hanging out on the balcony as well!
We had a great stay at Renae's place. Nice apartment and Renae was always helpful if we needed anything. Good communication to surfers and a lots of beaches around.
Very welcoming - the host Renae helped me with shopping for the start of the week - the avacados are so large and flavourful and great fresh vegetables & fruit - bananas etc available at the market. The Blue Water Bay Resort place is very comfortable & I enjoyed my time at the pool downstairs and also in the spa I had my own bathroom that made getting up at any time easy
I’m 36 years old and have lived on the Gold Coast for 10 years. I’m originally from the Blue Mountains. The sun, beaches and laid back lifestyle brought me to Queensland.
I love to travel and spent 5 years living in France, Spain and South America teaching English and can’t wait for my next trip. I live a happy, healthy positive lifestyle and like to surround myself with like-minded go-getters.

User Experience | Mohak's observations
Orkut improves user interface: a quick take
October 20, 2006 at 7:56 pm	· Filed under Google, Internet, User Experience
Google’s take over of Orkut has started to show in more ways than one.
To begin with, we started to see contextual advertising on the Orkut community pages.
Now the Google engineers are working hard to improvise the user experience. Now we can reply to scraps right from within our scrapbook.
Earlier, we had to click on someones user ID, then click on view scrapbook and then actually write and post the scrap! Pretty archaic and long winded! But now things are simpler and quicker! Kudos…
Today is Diwali, the festival of lights. This is what welcomed me on Orkut today.
Friendly brands on the internet? Here’s how!
September 27, 2006 at 12:18 pm	· Filed under Brand, Google, Internet, User Experience
Today I noticed this friendly greeting from wordpress as soon as I logged on.
This single word greeting “howdy”, said so much about what wordpress was, what it stood for, and the overall brand personality.
I started to think on how this is relevant. While this is a greeting and that too somewhat basic, the relevance is hightened in the context of errors and server malfunctions!
See, errors on the internet sometimes totally outrage you. Errors could range from a 404-Page not found error to a scripting error.
How about error and other messages to communicate to build a personality, a connect with the audience?
It is really very simple. Multiple web services, new age applications are doing so. The error messages, talkback messages are not only human, they are sometimes kinda cheekish and witty. They go beyond the message and get on with communicating with the user on a one on one basis. Perhaps, part of a larger user-experience strategy.
In the last couple of months I have been noticing some very “friendly error messages”. Messages which could perhaps reduce the outrage (if not bring a smile). Obviously, the leaders and the more lateral of the websites are doing so.
Such little efforts surprise the user and build on a personality almost immediately. Time will tell whether they help to gain brand preference, leadership or competitive advantage.
Some of the best friendly messages I have encountered (not limited to errors) :
Orkut (server unreachable, unable to scrap): “Bad, bad server. No donut for you
We’re sorry, but the orkut.com server has acted out in an unexpected way.
Hopefully it will return to its usual helpful self if you give it another chance.
We apologize for the inconvenience and our server’s lack of consideration for others.”
WordPress (welcome page on the top bar): “howdy user” (with user being replaced with the logged in user’s name)
WordPress (when a blog is unreachable): Confessions Of A Server
Well, no more! I’m relaxing here with a cup of tea and a biscuit until someone shows me some love and attention.It never takes them long to fix me when I kick up a fuss so check back in a few minutes and I’ll be chugging along merrily again.!Signed,
Gmail (when you have no spam): “Hooray, no spam here!”
Gmail: Who needs to delete when you have over 2000 MB of storage?!
Marketing profs (when they sent out multiple emails): “Ooops we goofed up”
With people spending so much time on their PCs and on the Internet, it is time we got friendly! Not to mention, the brand personality of the website can appeal in the long run, technology is replicable!

Big Education Ape: This story reveals what’s wrong with how kids learn science (and other subjects) - The Washington Post
This story reveals what’s wrong with how kids learn science (and other subjects) - The Washington Post:
The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. How many of you remember learning the Pythagorean theorem? But did you also learn that Pythagoras organized his followers into a secret society of vegetarians and was worshiped as if he were a god?
That is part of the story of Pythagoras and his famous theorem as told in the “The Story of Science: Aristotle Leads the Way,” the first of a three-volume collection by Joy Hakim, who engages readers through good old-fashioned storytelling, a method of teaching and learning that has been drowned out in an era of data and standardized tests. It’s no wonder that students, year after year, complain about being bored in school.
In this post, Hakim uses a simple story to explain what is wrong with the way science — and other subjects — are taught and how it could be remedied. I am publishing it as a reminder that while the education reform debate is now focused on the Trump administration’s school choice This story reveals what’s wrong with how kids learn science (and other subjects) - The Washington Post:

Gerrit explores the world: First day in Toronto
I'm jet-lagged and wake up before 5:00. I decide to get up and walk the 500 metre to the supermarket Sobey's — open 24 hours per day — to buy breakfast. Weird to enter a supermarket at 5:30 in the morning. It's a luxurious supermarket with a lot of fresh produce and a wide selection of milk, including some in plastic bags. The products are not cheap.
“Would you like a bag tonight?”. Apparently it's still night.
After breakfast, assembling the bicycle. During the night and morning I was nervous because I wasn't sure if I had taken off the thing that attaches the seatpost to the frame. It wasn't on when I took the bicycle out, so unless I took it off and stored it safely, it was gone. Fortunately I found it in my box.
Removing the cable ties that tie the handle bar to the frame. No scissors in the apartment, nor any sharp knives. An unexpected setback. Finally I succeed in using one of the apartment knives to saw through the zipties. The last one is tricky because it's near the brake lever, and I don't want to damage that one, in particularly not the hydraulic tube. But here too I succeed. Everything seems fine.
At 7, it suddenly gets light. So fast it goes.
It's great to get on a bicycle, but I need a map first. I'm one block off the map that I bought in Amsterdam, and the Amsterdam map doesn't show bicycle trails. There exists a dedicated map but I don't have it. It's available at “civic centres, libraries, community centres, and speciality stores”. I prepared a Google Maps printout showing where in the neighbourhood those are. Initially I don't find it, but later I do.
It's too early to go to any of those places. None will open before 9 on this Saturday. Just before 9 I'm in the local “community centre”, which is apparently a sports hall with a swimming pool and related services. Inside the building is also the tiniest librare I've ever seen, perhaps 20 m² in total. I ask for the map. “We don't have it yet. Maybe in spring time.”. Am I odd to want a cycling map in February? It's such nice weather outside, -10°C with sunshine and not much wind...
On to the civic centre, the former town hall of East York before it got merged into Toronto. Before I find the civic centre I find the much larger library next to it. The lady at the desk reports that they are out of copies for the bicycle map, but that I can take a look at the reference copy and make copies. But to make copies I need a library card, to get a library card I need to be a member, to become a member I need two pieces of identification, that I didn't bring. Finally the librarian hands me an older copy of the bicycle map. Problem solved!
After some resting at home, my next errand is to open a bank account. I identified the Meridian Credit Union as a good place to become a member and open a chequing account. It's a nice bike ride to get there in the morning sun, passing over several wooded valleys.
There are no other customers when I enter the branch of Meridian on this Saturday morning. The person at the desk asks if I have an appointment. “We have only one advisor available at the moment,” she says after I ask to open an account, “but take a seat and someone will be with you shortly. Would you like some coffee?”.
“Normally, you need a credit history to become a member of the credit union and open an account. Since you are new in Canada, you don't have any yet. I will enter your information in the system, but your membership is subject to management approval.”. I need to phone back on Tuesday to hear if it is approved. How is one supposed to get a credit history, if anything that can be used to build up a credit history requires one to have one already? Seems weird.
Next, on to the store with the most attractive-sounding name of all: Everywhere Maps and Globes. Along the lovely Beltline trail with its compressed snow. It's a rail trail and not through any of the ravines. Why are there so few people cycling on a day as nice as this?
The well-hidden store Everywhere Maps&Globes is small and doesn't stock nearly as much as other map speciality stores, but the owner makes up for that in service and expertise. I spend quite a while there chatting, browsing, and listening to other customers, and I don't think I've ever been to a mapstore where the owner was such a map geek. That's what I like: buy maps at stores run by map geeks, bicycle components at stores run by bicycle geeks, etc. When I inquire about Jeju Island, he first corrects my pronunciation, then says — oh dear, South Korea is a strange, strange country when it comes to mapping. In other stores, I'd more than likely have gotten the response: “Where is that?”. All he can do for South Korea is a custom print based on National Geographic information. For the region, of course, he has everything, including maps that combine a city map with topographic information. This is certainly a store where I will return.
I have lunch in a small bakery near Everywhere Maps & Globes, a sandwich with cheese and lettuce. It's not terribly good but the place is nice.
Now south to the city centre, down Forest Hill. This does look like a very expensive neighbourhood. It's a good route for cycling, though, and it won't be the last time I'm here.
The closer I get to the heart of Toronto, the more stressful the cycling becomes. Most of the streets in central Toronto have several lanes, either 2+2 or one-directional 2-lanes. Cars drive fast and there is not much space for cyclists. Here, one has to be careful.
The World's Biggest Bookstore is in Toronto. But it's closing. I go inside and indeed, they do have a lot of books.
Next stop: Urbane Cyclist. This is a bike store I love. They have good quality stuff, when I mention Rohloff they say, “of course we stock Rohloff”, and they clearly are touring cyclists themselves too. I left my old, crappy, broken panniers in Sweden and buy some proper Ortliebs here. I also buy a thick chain lock because I think my existing lock is not enough.
In the twilight, then the dark, I ride back along the Martin Goodman trail (along the shore of Lake Ontario), then on the Don Valley trail. The Martin Goodman trail is cleared of snow, the Don Valley trail is not, so I ride on the packed snow while it's getting dark. My bicycle light is not working. After I get home I have dinner in the Golden Pizza restaurant next to my apartment. I sleep early.
Cycling in Toronto works fine, but it's a bit tricky. There is on-street parking even on many through-streets, which seem to have four lanes, but parking is allowed on the outer lane. But often long stretches of those lanes have nobody parked there, and cars can drive. When cycling there I need to be careful, because I might come across a parked car at any time, and then I need to swing to the left — to the lane with all the through-traffec. That's risky.
There's a skeleton of bicycle routes through the city. They're OK to follow, but often blocked by snow, or cars, or both. Places where cars are parked are not cleared of snow, and the next car may park even further from the sidewalk, blocking even more of the bikepath. I'm often forced to swing onto the road. That's risky.
Some major intersections are not easily navigable by bicycle. The solution is to get off and walk. It works.
So far, I have identified three victims of the moving:
The power cable for my external hard disk is physically broken
My front bicycle light is not working. I hope it's not the hub. Maybe it's something obvious but I don't see anything obvious. If it is the light, it might need replacing in the worst case. Just money but foolish that I didn't protect it better.
My scale indicates 0 at all times.
If that is all, then it's not too bad. But I haven't inspected the boxes shipped with FedEx yet.
Switching on the stove caused the kitchen light to go off. I think. I'm not quite sure. It's not a fuse because the stove is still working, even if very, very slowly.

Book review: The Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk – Pleasure of Reading
This is a story of a love triangle involving Kemal – son of a wealthy Turkish family, his fiancée Sibel – daughter of another rich family and Füsun, a young shop girl by who Kemal is obsessively attracted to.
By telling the story of these three young people, the author describes the behavior of Istanbul bourgeoisie in the 1970s.
Once Kemal breaks their marriage engagement, Sibel decides to move on and marries another man. Kemal and Sibel will only re-encounter each other 31 years later.
Throughout his obsession and fantasy, Kemal starts to collect small Füsun’s personal objects in order to remind him of the great moments of love shared with Füsun. On the other hand, his beloved decides to marry a future film maker instead of saying with Kemal.
When Kemal’s life turns upside down (no spoilers here), he decides to build “the museum of innocence” which gives the tittle to this book.
This museum is based on several personal museums built in honor of famous writers and artists, such as:
Saint Petersburg’s Vladimir Nabokov House Museum
The Spinozahuis museum
Casa Museo Mario Praz – one of the author’s favorite.
Musée Flaubert d’histoire de la médecine
Even if this book is excessively long, the author manages to keep the reader’s attention since this book is written with several hints of poetry and humor as well.

The Animals Never Lie Paperback – January 31, 2018
by Barbara Fox DVM (Author)
2 Used from $14.25 3 New from $15.95
"The Animals Never Lie" is a collection of intriguing case reports from Dr. Fox’s holistic veterinary practice that will inspire and amaze you. Many times, alternative medical therapies are sought after an animal hasn’t responded to conventional medicine or when it has been given a poor prognosis from a chronic disease. Animals cannot fake or pretend a response to treatment, whatever method of therapy is chosen. Oftentimes, when a product from nature is offered, the animal instinctively “knows” what it needs and readily accepts it. There is no prejudice or bias where animals are concerned: the animals never lie. You’ll be astonished at the animals’ resiliency and strong will to persevere as you read through these stories of spinal injury, severe allergies, chronic illness, cancer, etc. All of the case reports have been “translated” into easy-to-understand language so non-practitioners can easily read them.

Barbara Fox DVM
Dr. Barb Fox graduated from Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 1994. She worked in various practices in northeast Iowa and eventually opened her own mobile veterinary clinic. In 2007, after being diagnosed with a potentially fatal medical condition, she turned to alternative and complementary medicine instead of choosing a strictly conventional treatment plan. Thrilled with the results, she passionately began a course of education and research into holistic modalities for her own animal patients. After years of incorporating pure, unadulterated essential oils, nutritional supplements, homeopathic remedies, massage therapy, and quantum physics principles with her patients, she has become a strong advocate for a holistic approach to health and wellness. Dr. Fox is a firm believer in the mind-body-spirit connection, so much of her work involves addressing underlying emotional issues that can impede physical healing. Dr. Fox has spoken on various holistic health topics pertaining to people and animals at national and regional conferences, and teaches many local classes on safe and effective usage of essential oils. She is a member of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association and the Veterinary Medical Aromatherapy Association. In her spare time, Dr. Fox enjoys rock hunting, hiking, and spending time in the mountains of Colorado. She and her husband Gary live in beautiful northeast Iowa with their two horses, Chaser and Pal, and their eight house kitties.

While you will probably get unique keys that way, it's not guaranteed, and the instability of the value is definitely a problem.

An Awesome and picturesque park
I was wowed by the picturesque view of the city centre from the park.. The amusement Park rides were also a great thrill.. I fully recommend a visit if you are ever in Nanning.

I would walk the lake every day.
The people you meet here at the lake...maybe will be friends for life. Some of the elders will walk backwards clapping their hands.
good place for walking with friends
This place has good views and many different plants. good for a solo visit or to have fun with friends.
Large lake in the city centre
People jogging around the lake in the morning. Lake looks clean. Very nice to walk around, but don't underestimate the distance as it's quite a walk all around the lake
One of the many green gems of Nanning
It was a clear sunny day which made the visit to the Nanhu park even more perfect. Prepare yourself for beautiful sights of tropical foliage, the vastness and serenity of the lake, random tiny cobbled pathways leading away from the main road to some hidden...More

Nice, beautiful park
If you like parks, you should go here! With the big lake in the middle it's very beautiful. Also go at night when the lights are on.

It's a big park...
It's a big place indeed, with skating park, amusing park etc. A rendezvous for all age and all purposes. Ideal hangout place for teenagers, amusing park for kiddos and dating place for couples. Being a tourist, it's not too enjoyable been there.
Lovely park with lots of space
I think this must be the most beautiful city park in China. It gets busy at dusk when it's cooler, but the colours begin to brighten the skyscrapers at this time, so this is also a good time to visit. A highlight is the "waterfall"...More

Blows away estimates. Mitek up 7.8% on FQ3 beat, guidance hike
Jul 23 2015, 17:24 ET | About: Mitek Systems Inc. (MITK) | By: Eric Jhonsa, SA News Editor Contact this editor with comments or a news tip
With an FQ3 beat in tow, Mitek (NASDAQ:MITK) is hiking its FY15 (ends in September) sales guidance by $1M to $23.5M-$24.5M, above a $23.1M consensus.Mitek's mainstay Mobile Deposit solution is now licensed by over 4K financial institutions, up from 3,705 at the end of FQ2. Software revenue +47% Y/Y to $4.68M; services +19% to $1.76M.Sales/marketing spend fell 9% Y/Y to $1.65M; R&D fell 15% to $1.35M, and G&A 22% to $1.8M. Mitek ended FQ3 with $24M in cash/short-term investments, and no debt. The deferred revenue balance stood at $4M
Reply to Is this a big deal? by chart_watcher99
Checking through the Conservis web site and clicking on "News", I notice a PR dated 11-2014 where they had $6B in assets under management. Now they boast a 33% increase. To have exposure to an area that can have that kind of growth is significant,IMO.
I like the deal. Each new relationship helps ITI to become a more recognized and more credible big data supplier. Hopefully we'll hear, in next CC, how they may monetize this.
If I see any insider or institutional buying I'll probably double what I have. But I'm liking this PR.

You Will Anyway: America: A Force for Good
This is the US Navy's website logo. I like that the background on their header is a fence.Taking "force" to mean "military might" and "for good" to mean "forever," then I will agree wholeheartedly that we are indeed "a global force for good." (Actually, if they'd just insert the word "brute" after the word "global," it would help clarify the meaning.)The theater of [US war] operations is vast – potentially as vast as the world itself, given the rationale of pursing “terrorists” wherever they might be detected – and, so far, the range extends from the tribal regions of Pakistan to the African savannah, where pilotless “Reapers” take off from airfields in Ethiopia and Djibouti in search of prey. According to reports, US bases have also been established in Saudi Arabia and the Seychelles for this purpose. The latter, I hear, are quite happy about what this has done for local business: Americans may be standing in the unemployment lines, while their taxes go to fund endless war, but the Seychellois are in relatively good shape these days. [...]The Seychelles, another “former” Marxist one-party state, is a group of islands in the Indian Ocean: the head of state, James Michel, inherited his position from the former dictator, France-Albert Rene, who overthrew the first elected Seychellois president, James Mancham a short year after the former British colony gained independence. A series of phony elections have since been held, with the ruling party managing to stay in office due to gerrymandering and vote-buying. While not as openly repressive as Zenawi, Michel is of the same type: a “former” commie who has changed his colors but not his ways. These are our great allies in the “war on terrorism.” The expansion of the war effort in this way has transformed the CIA into an international militarized force whose analysts are tasked with finding enough targets to keep the drones flying. Combing the world for alleged “terrorists,” and keeping their activities well out of the spotlight, the “new” CIA, under Gen. David Petraeus, is primed and ready for its mission, which is to expand the frontiers of our endless “war on terrorism.”This new role for the CIA has its domestic political uses, keeping knowledge of our latest wars “top secret” and therefore safe from nosey congressional committees, journalists, and most of all the American people. The mechanized imperialism of the drone wars gives our leaders the ability to distance themselves from their own criminal actions, and keep US casualties down to a minimum. It’s clean, it’s cold, and it’s cowardly – which just about describes the methods of modern American imperialism to a tee. Justin RaimondoNumerous referring links are embedded in Raimondo’s article, so if you care to see whether what he’s saying is backed up, visit the “Justin Raimondo” link.....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.

*Sheep At The Beach* ART Studio: The 'Gapish Scarf'
The 'Gapish Scarf'
If you are like me ... you have 101 little balls of remnant yarn that sit in a collective basket just waiting for some love & attention. There isn't enough of any one color to do a whole hat or scarf. I think that is why 'stripes' were created. Call them whimsical, call them bold, call them trendy - I call them a necessity in the world of knitting.
Behold ... my 'Gapish Scarf' (think Big Store Chain) for Macuwita sni. It will take me some time to complete it as I decided that it needs a crocheted trim. I think that will tie everything together nice and neat. Not that it looks fragmented by any stretch of the imagination - but a crocheted edge would soften it as well as make it look 'UN-Gapish'. You know - like someone actually took the time to create a masterpiece and not some mass-produced piece of 'eeewwww' for "$$$ OUCH!"
I will keep you up to date of said "Gapish Scarf" and it's long journey to completion. That being said ... the kicker is - I don't crochet! Wish me luck!!

I like the colors of this scarf, even if it is a Gapish-looking one. Gosh, crocheting is so easy - if you can knit, you can certainly crochet!

I am with all the others posting comments - if you can spin and knit, you can crochet. It is the wonderful EASY fiber art! Let me know if you need some help, I have been known to give crochet coaching on the phone, so I could even try it in email.... And, I LOVE the colors of your scarf. It already looks good, and the crochet will just make it better!
