Fairy Tales | The Best Stories for Children
Tracy Lynn Conway
"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales." ~Albert Einstein
What do Charles Dickens, Joseph Campbell, Albert Einstein and Rudolph Steiner have in common?
A Love of Fairy Tales
All of these great thinkers felt that these stories should be an integral part of every childhood. Fairy tales, in their classic form, integrate literature, morality and human understanding.
Harvard Professor, Maria Tatar and famous child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim also feel strongly that classic fairy tales are beneficial to child development.
If these great thinkers, writers and experts agree on the value and benefits of classic fairy tales, then why are these stories not being read to the majority of children today?
Perhaps Walt Disney is to blame. Walt Disney has co-opted many of these stories and watered them down so that children are only getting a small portion of what these stories have to offer. Walt Disney, in order to make these stories work in a movie format, had to rewrite them in simpler versions. This could be compared to what capitalists have done to water; they bottled it and sold to us what was once free. Fairy tales have been a part of traditions, handed down from generation to generation and told with love. This story telling has been diluted and altered for versions designed for the masses in order to make them more palatable to a wider audience, thus increase profits for movie studios, toy marketers and publishing corporations. Walt Disney was first a shrewd businessman looking to make money.
Television has also replaced the day where folk and fairy tales used to exist. These stories were told in the evening, but now television has monopolized much of this family time. In the days when these stories were told they offered an almost seamless transition between the wakeful hours of daytime and the dream world of night.
Now we are left with multiple generations only knowing the watered down version of these classic stories instead of the treasure of wealth that the classic versions hold.
Compared to their watered down versions, Classic fairy tales offer:
In Goldilocks and the Three Bears, most people are familiar with the ending in which Goldilocks runs away and is never seen again. In the longer classic version, Goldilocks actually comes back and helps repair the chair and also helps the mother cook more food. She remains friends with the bear family and comes back to visit periodically. The lesson being, when you do something wrong, you make it up to the other person. These are building blocks of friendship.
In Cinderella, at the end of the story when Cinderella moves to the castle and marries the prince, she invites the stepsisters to live in the castle, the moral being 'forgiveness.'
In Little Red Riding Hood, after the wolf is killed there is another part to the story. Little Red Riding hood is again approached by another wolf on a trip to Grandmother's house and this time she remembers not to talk with him and does not stray from the path. After arriving at Grandmother's house she tells the grandmother about this second wolf and they come up with a plan to keep this wolf from eating them. The moral is 'learning from your mistakes.'
Rich Vocabulary
Here is the text from the Disney version of Snow White:
Once upon a time there lived a beautiful young princess named Snow white. Her hair was as dark as night, her lips were as red as a rose, and her skin was as white as snow.
Here is the classic version:
Once upon a time in the middle of winter, when the flakes of snow were falling like feathers from the sky, a Queen sat at a window sewing, and the frame of the window was black ebony. And whilst she was sewing and looking out of the window at the snow she pricked her finger with the needle, and three drops of blood fell upon the white snow, and she thought to herself: "Would that I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as the wood of the window frame.
This classic version is rich with vocabulary and offers the young listener a rich introduction to a world of literary language.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (Dka): Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
When I first started reading the classic Grimm's fairy tales, I was surprised to find verse dispersed within the stories. When Hansel and Gretel arrive at the candy house and start eating it they hear a soft voice saying:
Nibble, nibble, gnaw,
Who is nibbling at my little house?
To this the children answered
The Wind, the wind,
The heaven born wind.
Later, when Gretel wants a duck to help her cross a great stretch of water, Hansel says
Little duck, little duck, dost thou see,
Hansel and Gretel are waiting for thee?
There's never a plack, or bridge in sight,
Take us across on thy back so white.
How much more inspiring it is to introduce verse to children seamlessly within a story when the child is already engaged.
If we also consider that fairy tales are read to children, inviting the child to use words to make picture images, we can see yet another reason to introduce our children to these literary masterpieces. When a child makes these picture images they are learning how to use their own imagination rather then allowing Disney or an illustrator to provide an adult's version for them. (see more about imagination)
These stories are a joy to read because of their natural flow. They hold your interest with characters who are intriguing for a younger child as well as plots and morals which will interest an older audience, thus appealing to all age groups. Since these stories were told aloud they are easy to read aloud. If you have ever read a poorly written children's story you will appreciate that these stories have been written and masterfully shaped by the hands of time.
"By entering the world of fantasy and imagination, children and adults secure for themselves a safe space where fears can be confronted, mastered, and banished." - Maria Tatar The Annotated Classic Fairy Tales
A Word about Cruelty and Evil
In the Journal of Ethics and Education, Diana Hughes states that fairy tales speak directly to the natural morality in the child and to his or her sense of moral order in the world. When the good wins and the evil is punished, a child is visibly satisfied. The child identifies with the hero in the story and the hero always has resolution in the end.
In Neil Postman's The Disappearance of Childhood, he says the importance of fairytales "lies in their capacity to reveal the existence of evil in a form that permits children to integrate without trauma." Many children have been traumatized by movie versions of fairy tales since the images are much stronger than a child's mind is ready for.
That being said, you know your child best and can select fairy tales that you feel are appropriate for your child.
These stories connect with the human experience on a deep level, which is validating.
Experts agree that the characters in a fairly tales reflect elements within each individual; aspects of our selves and our destinies. The characters are said to be metaphors for our own striving to achieve a sense of union between the parts of ourselves
"Cinderella" (1899) Valentine Cameron Prinsep
The classic fairy tales are lengthier then their contemporary counterparts, therefore allowing the listener to become better acquainted with the characters. The characters in these fairy tales often have more than one challenge. Each challenge builds upon the next, which helps us to see where the character has come from and what he has learned along the way.
It is a tribute to these stories that even in their watered down 'Disney' versions, they remain as popular as ever, so why do we persist in depriving our children of the great literature in its purest and most potent form? Let's not deprive our children of the vast treasure trove of fairy tales which have so much value.
Fairy Tale Endings
And so they lived happily every after
A mouse did run, the story is done
Bo bow bended, my story's ended, if you don't like it, you may mend it
If the story was beautiful, the beauty belongs to us all; if it was bad, the fault is mine only, who told it
Snip, snap, snout, this tale's told out
Fairy Tale Beginnings
In the days of good King Arthur...
A thousand years ago tomorrow...
A great while ago, when the world was full of wonders...
Back, far back, in the mists of time when the world was very young...
Far away and just as long ago...

Laranell - You're welcome.
Literatelibran - Thank you, these fairy tales are a gold mine and once you discover them you get to keep them forever.
Best, Tracy
literatelibran from Williamsburg, Virginia on September 22, 2012:
I love your perspective on character development! Fairy Tales are a gold mine for tropes and morals.
Hi Laranell - I highly recommend "The Complete Grimms Fairy Tales" published by Pantheon with commentary by Joseph Campbell, this version has the complete language and full story line including some simple black and white illustrations. Reading the story aloud and allowing the child to create their own mind images is ideal and deems the illustrations as merely distractions. If you have fallen in love with a fairy tale book because of the exquisite illustrations then maybe consider owning two books and reading from both, thereby giving the listener some opportunity to connect with the literature exclusively. I hope this helps.
I have added a link to the article with the version that I recommend. Best of luck!
Laranell on September 06, 2012:
Love this article, Tracy, thank you.
Can I ask which editions you prefer or recommend? I can't quite see editors' etc details in your photos. I'm tempted by the Taschen edition for the mix of amazing illustrations. Only I compared the opening para of their Snow White with the one you quote here and it was not quite as beautiful a translation. What do you think of the Taschen? Thanks, Lara
Tracy Lynn Conway (author) from Virginia, USA on May 31, 2012:
Blueumbrella, I am glad I could share my love of fairy tales with you. Thank you.

Your research and knowledge is very good. Thank you for a lovely Hub!

Oceansnsunsets, I really did fall in love with these classic fairy tales and I am so glad that I was able to share this with you. Thank you for all the votes, this means a lot from an experienced hubber as yourself.
Paula from The Midwest, USA on December 13, 2011:
Hi Tracy, the classic fairy tales can be so interesting, and rich in vocabulary like you mentioned. I think this is a great hub, and appreciate how you promote early childhood reading. Voted up and useful, interesting and awesome. Thanks so much for sharing.
Tracy Lynn Conway (author) from Virginia, USA on June 30, 2011:
I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
StephenSMcmillan on June 29, 2011:
Fascinating hub! I enjoyed reading it. Thanks a lot.
VirginiaLynne, thank you! I feel so strongly about sharing quality literature with children, so writing on this topic comes straight from my heart. I love "The Little Fir Tree," I have read this story to my children and seen it preformed as a play with children actors. You are right, there is a lot of wisdom that comes from looking at Christmas through the experience of a tree. I wonder if the environmental movement will force us to rethink the use of fresh Christmas trees.
Kennynext, reading stories to my children is one of my favorite things to do as a parent and is a great way to bond. I wish I had been read to as a child. I will look for your CJ series and I wish you good luck in publishing a book one day. I am sorry for my delayed reply, I only noticed your comment today.
Virginia Kearney from United States on June 20, 2011:
I think you've done a great job of thinking through the reason that classic versions of fairy tales offer more than re-done versions. My favorites as a child were the Twelve Dancing Princesses and The Little Fir Tree. In The Little Fir Tree, the tree goes through the excitement of Christmas and then is thrown in the attic for the rest of the winter and later burned. It is such a sad story but filled with the reality of suffering and sorrow. Great hub and well written too!
kennynext from Everywhere on May 30, 2011:
This is a great way to bond with your children. Reading and telling stories sparks the imagination for our kids. I am working on my own stories for children with my CJ series. I hope to have enough short stories for a book someday.
Vissitor, You are welcome. It is a topic that I thoroughly enjoyed writing about. I am glad you liked it, thank you!
vissitor from Sonoma Valley, California on May 23, 2011:
Thanks Tracy...Very informative and interesting!

2019-20 syndication development season gains steam
Jerry Springer in his new courtroom series, "Judge Jerry".
Five shows now vying for time slots as new game show joins pack
In a marked reversal from the last few selling seasons, syndicators are amping up their pitches to stations as a wealth of new product is about to flood the marketplace two months before NATPE begins.
The latest entry came from Twentieth Television, who announced a deal with sister station group Fox Television Stations for new game show 25 Words Or Less, hosted by Meredith Vieira and comes from a collaboration of six people, including former Friends star Lisa Kudrow. The series was tested in several markets over the summer including New York and Los Angeles.
Fox owns WFLD-TV and CW affiliate WPWR-TV here, the latter where 25 Words would likely be paired up with Family Feud beginning next September. As typical with most syndicated short-term "test" product, Chicago was not included (another show Fox is testing in January for a two-week run also does not include Chicago.) Two such "test product" shows that did air in Chicago last year (iWitness and Punchline) did not move forward.
Fox's owned-stations are gearing up for life without a studio as owner 21st Century Fox is selling most of 20th Century Fox to The Walt Disney Company, with the Fox O&Os, Fox News, Fox Broadcasting, and Fox Sports remaining with 21st. Twentieth's syndication arm is assumingly part of the sale, but it is unclear if it would be operated separately from Disney's syndication division under the Twentieth name or combined under one banner.
For Vieira, it is her first project since the cancellation of her daytime talk show two years ago. Vieira hosted the first eleven seasons of the syndicated version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, now assumed by Chris Harrison and airs weeknights at 1:35 a.m. over ABC-owned WLS-TV (the show was also on WCIU's schedule until recently.) Currently, there are only five game shows in first-run syndication, with Entertainment Studios' Funny You Should Ask the last time a game show debuted.
The announcement comes on the same day NBCUniversal Domestic Television Distribution officially announced it was going forward with Judge Jerry as the series was sold in 75 percent of the country, including many of the stations who carried his former daytime talk show. Springer would be presiding over real-life cases interspersed with his signature "closing thoughts". The show is being sold as an hour-long weekday strip and is being taped in Stamford, Conn. where his talk show spent its final nine seasons.
"For the first time in my life, I'm going to become honorable" said Springer in a statement, who went to law school at Northwestern. "My career is coming full circle and I finally get to put my law degree to use after all these years."
News of the new program first broke in the New York Post weeks ago, and Robert Feder reported former Springer affiliate WCIU acquired Judge Jerry for next fall. Michael Schneider of Indiewire tweeted Tribune's KTLA picked up the show in Los Angeles, which likely means sister station WPIX in New York also picked up the show given Tribune is mentioned as one of the station groups. Both were also former Springer affiliates.
This brings the number of new shows for syndication next fall to five. Previously, new talk shows featuring Kelly Clarkson, Tamron Hall, and Mel Robbins were given green lights for production. It will be interesting to see what "bubble" syndicated shows hang around, including Steve with Steve Harvey. But with the talk show continuing to do well – especially in his former hometown of Chicago where NBC's WMAQ averaged a 1.4 household rating/5 share in a recent week at 2 p.m. – up 17 percent from a year ago, you wonder if the NBC-owned station group should reconsider their plans to drop the show. After all, does anyone actually watch Access Live?

Acetamiprid
D. R. Wallace
Pharmacology and Physiology
Acetamiprid belongs to a relatively new class of insecticide that developed in the late 1980s, the 'neonicotinoids'. The precise structure of acetamiprid is that of a chloronicotinyl compound and it has been shown to be a potent agonist at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in insects. The primary use for acetamiprid is to control insects such as aphids, which have been known to attack and damage leafy plants. Acetamiprid is available as a ready-to-use formulation in addition to wettable powders and water-dispersible granules. Although acetamiprid has shown to have higher affinity for nicotinic receptors in insects compared to mammals, there have been some reports of imidacloprid (another neonicotinoid) undergoing biotransformation in rodents resulting in a compound that has higher affinity for then the nicotinic receptor compared to (-)-nicotine. This could potentially lead to toxicity in mammals. There have been no reports of chronic toxicity or of bioactivation of acetamiprid so far in mammals. A recent report has shown that acetamiprid can undergo transepithelial absorption across intestinal cells, possibly resulting in toxicity if acetamiprid accumulates within the body. It is not thought that acetamiprid contamination of soil is persistence and the general thought is that acetamiprid presents low hazard risks to human/vertebrate populations under normal conditions.

Over the last few days I have been working on my AVR microcontroller board that I posted about a while back.
So far I have been able to implement the Dynamixel AX-12 communication protocol and have successfully commanded an AX-12 servo.
I am now in the process of porting over my IK and gait engine from python running on my PC to C on the micro.

Sutenerstwo – czerpanie korzyści majątkowych z uprawiania prostytucji przez inną osobę. Zwykle jest powiązane ze stręczycielstwem (nakłanianiem do uprawiania prostytucji) i kuplerstwem (ułatwianiem uprawiania prostytucji), a czasami z innymi przestępstwami, jak handel ludźmi oraz stosowanie gróźb i przemocy wobec prostytutek. Oprócz indywidualnych sutenerów, jest to jedno z pól działalności, którą zajmują się zorganizowane grupy przestępcze.

W Polsce sutenerstwo (podobnie jak stręczycielstwo i kuplerstwo) jest przestępstwem, opisanym w art. 204 Kodeksu karnego, zagrożonym karą od 3 miesięcy do 5 lat pozbawienia wolności (lub karą do 10 lat, jeśli osoba prostytuująca się jest małoletnia). Jest to również przestępstwo w wielu krajach świata.

Przestępcy trudniący się sutenerstwem nazywani są sutenerami lub potocznie alfonsami. To ostatnie określenie pochodzi od głównego bohatera wydanej w 1873 r. powieści Aleksandra Dumasa (syna) pt. Monsieur Alphonse, której tytułowy bohater trudnił się tym procederem. Wcześniej sutenerów w slangu przestępczym określano słowem "luj", co z kolei pochodziło od francuskiej wersji imienia Ludwik (Louis).

SEC chief puts mutual fund changes on his to-do list
In what will almost certainly be his final year as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Christopher Cox is preparing to tackle a number of issues — some controversial and some fairly straightforward — in 2008. Cox described an agenda he plans to discuss with senior SEC staffers after the new year. Though he has not announced that 2008 will be his final year at the SEC, it is almost certain that by the time President Bush leaves office in January 2009, Cox will also be gone, if only to allow the next president to appoint his or her own candidate to the position.
Among the goals Cox hopes to achieve in 2008:
•Mutual fund prospectus reform.
Noting that U.S. investors have invested about $3 trillion of their retirement funds in the stock market, and that half of that sum is invested via mutual funds, Cox says he wants the mutual industry to do a better job communicating basic information to investors about their offerings.
Currently, an employee trying to decide where to invest 401(k) contributions either has to wade through a mutual fund's prospectus, or look at sales material for the fund, which doesn't provide an adequate description of what the fund is about.
In November, the SEC put a proposal for mutual fund prospectus reform out for comment. In a few months, after reviewing the comments, the SEC will vote on the matter. "It's not that people need things dumbed down," Cox says. "But people are busy. There's a reason that CEOs insist on having executive summaries. It's important to put the vital information upfront."
•New rules on 12b-1 mutual fund fees.
These add-on fees were approved by the SEC in 1980 as a way for mutual funds to promote themselves, attract new investors and, theoretically, reduce the cost of operating a mutual fund. But with the explosive growth of mutual funds over the past 25 years, the fees have morphed into pools that fund managers can use to reward brokers they do business with.
The SEC's department of investment management is considering a proposal that would clarify the role that independent directors should play in approving a fund's 12b-1 plan. "You can expect the SEC to engage in rulemaking on 12b-1," Cox says. "Independent directors have been urging us to make changes in this area, and I think we can bring a great deal of clarity that is currently lacking."
•Proxy access.
Cox promises to revisit a topic that has generated the most severe criticism he has endured since being sworn in as SEC chair more than two years ago: the ability of shareholders to have access to a public company's proxy materials.
Last month, Cox voted in favor of a proposal that solidified the SEC's long-standing position that public firms can rebuff shareholders' attempts to get their own director candidates on proxy ballots. Citing ambiguity in the SEC's position, a federal appeals court ruled in 2006 that shareholder activists could force their candidates onto proxy slates through litigation.
Cox's vote to close the "ambiguity" loophole drew outrage from investor-rights advocates. But Cox said at the time of the vote that he was not willing to proceed with a meaningful overhaul of the commission's proxy-access rules with a commission hobbled by the absence of one Democratic appointee.
The August departure of Roel Campos, one of the Democratic appointees to the commission, changed the dynamics surrounding proxy access and scuttled any chance at meaningful reform for 2007. The other democratic commissioner, Annette Nazareth, also plans to step down.
If and when the Senate votes to confirm their likely replacements — Democrats Luis Aguilar and Elise Walter — Cox vows to revisit the issue.
•Protection of seniors.
Cox has made protecting older investors a priority, cracking down on abusive "free lunch" promotions and the like. For 2008, he wants to reach out to investor advisers to find out answers to potentially tricky questions.
If, for example, an investment broker has a longtime client who develops Alzheimer's, how should financial decisions be handled?
Cox realizes that every situation will have a unique set of facts and circumstances, but with a boomer population rapidly moving toward retirement age, he says he wants to develop some "best practices" in the area.

Blazingly Cool Science
by Jocelyne Birren, Interim Director of Volunteers
Last month, fifth-graders from Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary journeyed to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in conjunction with Berkeley Lab Adventure Zone in Elementary Science (BLAZES). Looking ever so professional in white lab coats, gloves, and safety goggles, they participated in hands-on activities to find out what conducts electricity and when do substances change from one state of matter to another. They were very engaged and asked many questions:
"How can a person distinguish one gas from another?"
"Is nitrogen natural or man-made?"
"If nitrogen is a gas, how can it be converted to liquid?"
Dry ice fascinated the students in particular. There was a collective "aha!" moment when they saw an air-filled balloon shrivel up after it was immersed in liquid nitrogen, creating dry ice in the process. They witnessed what happens when a small piece of dry ice is dropped into a flask filled with 150 milliliters of water.
Whenever appropriate, the students' teacher urged students to picture themselves as scientists. Perhaps the best encouragement came from one of the scientists who mentioned the usefulness of play-doh in the lab. He concluded, "The coolest thing about being a scientist is that you never have to grow up." That comment seemed to be an inviting proposition to at least one fifth-grader.
BLAZES's mission is to inspire and prepare the next generation of scientists, engineers, and technicians. Indeed, several students are already contemplating becoming chemists, surgeons, and robotics engineers. Thank you, BLAZES, for demonstrating how science is cool!
President's Corner: Investing In Our Children
I remember saving for a Schwinn bicycle with silver chrome fenders. When I was a kid, my parents opened up my very own savings account into which I would deposit money I made from odd jobs. Small deposits began to add up. Eventually I put in an order from the Sears catalog. Oh happy day when my brand-new bike arrived! Proudly, I rode around my neighborhood on that shimmering Schwinn.
Very few children instinctively know how to manage their money well and people often do not recognize the value of teaching them credit worthiness and delayed gratification. Not every child gets the opportunity to practice saving and budgeting. Sadly, too many youth in Oakland are becoming adults without learning basic financial management skills.
Enter PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). Three years ago, PwC contacted Faith Network about offering their Earn Your Future (EYF) financial literacy program to Oakland elementary students. We arranged for them to meet with staff at Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary in West Oakland. The school warmly welcomed the EYF team who soon launched an interactive financial literacy curriculum for 3rd- to 5th-graders. Since then, PwC has offered the program at Prescott Elementary and Hoover Elementary, both also located in West Oakland.
When I looked in on the kick-off EYF session at Hoover in April, I was amazed when the instructors raised the subject of identity theft because I expected to see students' eyes glaze over. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised by the students' insights and discussion. Hats off to PwC for investing in our Oakland youth!

Community Partner: Walnut Creek Presbyterian Church
Through their Creek Watering Oaks initiative, Walnut Creek Presbyterian Church (WCPC) inspires church members to serve vulnerable children in Oakland through partner organizations. On April 19th, the entire Sunday worship service and educational program focused on reaching "at-promise" youth living in Oakland. Faith Network was one of five partner organizations invited to participate, along with Points of Light, Harbor House, CityTeam, and Today's Youth Matter. Pastor Larry Austin of Oakland City Church and the School of Urban Missions worship band led WCPC in Sunday worship.
After a rousing service, each partner organization spoke before the congregation, presenting opportunities to volunteer and serve. Church members were then free to speak individually with representatives of the organizations and identify ways to be engaged. The importance of community collaboration cannot be stressed enough. As Reverend Austin said in his sermon, "Programs make promises but it's people who keep promises."
President's Corner: Jon Blankmeyer
A Fond Farewell to Jon Blankmeyer
With bittersweet feelings, I must announce that one of our founding members is retiring from Faith Network's Board of Directors. Jon Blankmeyer has served faithfully on the board for fourteen years – twelve years as board chair and two years as treasurer.
Jon and his dear wife Elaine came alongside my wife Diane and me back in May 2001. They provided encouragement and wise counsel as I, a local church pastor, stepped into the uncharted waters of a new calling, the nonprofit sector. Jon helped me recruit a handful of board members to launch a mission to give hope to disadvantaged students. In July of 2001, Faith Network of the East Bay was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) public benefit organization.
Two months later, Norman Brooks (Faith Network's now-retired Science Horizons director) introduced Jon and me to our first principal, Roberta Teller of Burbank Elementary in East Oakland. This day is forever etched in my memory: September 13, only two days after the 9/11 attacks. Although we were strangers to her, Ms. Teller hugged and welcomed us saying, "I want my school to be a safe place." In her office, Jon and I listened to Ms. Teller share her hopes for Burbank students and families. Then she began prioritizing needs and listing possible ways to address at least some of those needs. The Burbank maiden voyage would become a template for future school partnerships.
The Faith Network board and staff colleagues all join me in expressing profound thanks to Jon Blankmeyer for his servant leadership on behalf of vulnerable children and under-resourced schools. May God bless the Blankmeyers as they enter a new season of life and ministry.
Mission Springs
By Lisa Oler, fifth-grade teacher at Burckhalter Elementary
In thirty-two years of teaching in Oakland, certain experiences with my classes have left me with a feeling of accomplishment and possibility. One of those recurring experiences has been to take my students to the Missions Springs Outdoor Education science camp every year. We visit the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains for three days of hiking and climbing, observing and investigating outdoor science. We get to know each other away from the distractions of urban modern life. The deep connections we make during that time usually last longer than anything else we do during the year. Former students who return to tell me what they are doing now, more often than not, ask me to take out the photos I keep tucked away specifically for these special visits. Those are the teaching experiences I treasure. Yes, the science is great. But what I value most are the joyful memories the children and I have built in Mission Springs.

In Final Cut Pro there are often instances when we need to view a clip on a lower track that is covered by a clip in a higher track. A typical amateur solution is to move the clip out of the way for a moment. This is not efficient, because you then must move it back. If you do not need to do anything but view the clip below, you could simply delete the clip, and then undo your delete. When you need to do some work while the visibility of the clip is off then you have a couple options.
To turn off the visibility of an entire track you can click on the green Visibility Control at the far left hand side of a track. If you only need to turn off the visibility of an individual clip, you can perform a Clip Enable on the clip which will toggle the individual clips visibility. To perform a Clip Enable, you can either use the keyboard shortcut of Control + B, or right click on the clip and choose Clip Enable. Whether you turn off the Visibility Control, or perform a Clip Enable, the affected clip or clips will appear faded out in the Timeline.
Performing a clip enable is often a useful function when you think you may end up using a clip that you currently are about to delete. Performing a Clip Enable will let you leave it in your project without it being seen. Tracks that have their visibility turned off, and clips that are not enabled will not appear in an export.
In Final Cut Pro it can be very useful to not show the audio track names. Because the audio track name goes right over top of the waveform when you have them active, they can make seeing the waveform difficult. Especially at an edit where the name of the outgoing clip is right next to the name of the incoming clip. Depending on how zoomed in on the timeline you are this can make a significant amount of the waveform difficult to see. When you are trying to blend two pieces of music together, having the track names displayed can be very annoying.
To turn off the display of the names in the audio clips, you will first need to bring up the Timeline Layout Popup menu. Next move up to the Show Audio Clip Names option, and click on it. This will turn off the display of the names within the audio clips.
The Timeline Layout Popup is also where you go to turn on the Audio Waveforms, or you can use the keyboard shortcut of OPTION+COMMAND+W.

Cop in 'Chokehold' Death Had Civil Suits Filed Against Him
Richard Watkins (5) attends a vigil for Eric Garner near where he died after he was taken into police custody in Staten Island last Thursday on July 22, 2014 in New York City.
Spencer Platt—Getty Images
By Nash Jenkins
New York Police Department officer Daniel Pantaleo, who allegedly used what has been termed a chokehold on the now deceased 43-year-old Eric Garner in Staten Island last week, previously had civil rights lawsuits brought against him over two separate incidents, the Staten Island Advance reports.
In the first suit, two men, Darren Collins and Tommy Rice — both in their forties and African-American — claim to have been publicly strip-searched by Pantaleo and a cadre of other officers two years ago, after Pantaleo said he saw crack cocaine and heroin on the backseat of their car. In the second, Rylawn Walker charged Pantaleo and another cop with falsely arresting him, then incarcerating him for a period of 24 hours.
The City of New York doled out a $30,000 settlement to the two plaintiffs in the first lawsuit. Walker's remains open.
With video of Officer Pantaleo grappling with Garner going viral over the last week, the NYPD's decision to strip the officer of his gun and assign him to desk duty for the time being has failed to quell public concern. While it remains unclear what role the hold may have played in Garner's death, many New Yorkers, including activist-pastor Rev. Al Sharpton, are calling for greater accountability.

Location of Abu Qubays in Saudi Arabia
Makkah Province, Saudi Arabia
Although no one really knows the exact origin of this name, it is believed to be called al-Amin in pagan times because an alleged "black stone" resided there according to a fable. According to another legend, this mountain was also called the Treasure Cave (Magharat al-kans) and this was believed to be the very first place where the first of men stayed and were buried after their death. According to tradition, this is the place where this Islamic prophet, Muhammad, showed the miracle of breaking the moon into two pieces and then re-attaching those pieces on demand of disbelievers (kuffar) of the Makkah.[1]

The government has repeatedly demanded Google hand over information on anyone searching specific terms. For the first time, lawyers and privacy advocates are challenging the lawfulness of those searches in court, in the case of an arson that led to the deaths of two small girls and their parents.
On August 5, 2020, Denver police officer Gordon King was on night patrol when he came across a house on fire. After calling the fire department, he tried to determine if there was anyone inside. He kicked in the front door, but it was so hot inside, he couldn't enter. He then saw a small person in the room and attempted to reach for them, but was again pushed back by the extreme heat.
Three people in the house - a father, mother, and daughter - had escaped the fire by jumping out of an upstairs window. Five remained inside. All of them died. They were a family from Senegal, like their co-occupants, and among the dead were two young girls. One was 22 months. The other just seven months.
Video footage of the incident showed three apparent assailants wearing masks and hoodies, according to arrest warrants reviewd by Forbes. One was holding what appeared to be a gas canister, investigators said.
But by November, it was clear the cops didn't have much more to go on than the video of three unidentifiable individuals. So they drew up a search warrant asking Google for information on anyone who searched nine variations of the address of the arson. Google sent information on five of its users who had made such searches, either in its search tool or in Google Maps. That led investigators to teenage suspects Kevin Bui, Gavin Seymour and another minor who cannot be named due to their age. All three had searched for the address prior to the arson. One suspect, Bui, would later reportedly admit to setting the house on fire mistakenly believing someone inside had stolen his iPhone, according to police testimony. Seymour has pleaded not guilty, while Bui has not yet issued a plea. The third defendant is in juvenile court and has not pleaded.
While the order for Google to provide the search data, known as a keyword warrant, led police to the alleged murderers, privacy advocates and the legal counsel for one of the defendants say they're unconstitutional. This week, Mike Price, counsel for Seymour and Fourth Amendment Center litigation director at the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, is launching the first ever constitutional challenge to keyword warrants in America by seeking to suppress the evidence provided by Google. Backing him up in Colorado State Court is an amicus brief signed by internet privacy advocacy group the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Price and the EFF shared their filings with Forbes as they were being registered with the court.
If a judge agrees with Price, it could lead to the three alleged assailants going free. "The government has been clear that before they got this keyword search warrant, they didn't have any idea who did this," Price says. Because the prosecutor's case is all based on the knowledge gained from the keyword search, he explains, it's possible none of the state's evidence can be used at trial.
While success might mean the killers go unpunished, Price and other privacy advocates argue that it's more important to protect the privacy of every person in the country. That's because unlike most search warrants, keyword searches don't target a specific person or property. Instead, they could potentially hand law enforcement data on dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people unrelated to the case at hand. "No other warrant ... could authorize the search of every house in America," says Price. "And no warrant should be able to compel a search of everyone's Google search query."
There are First Amendment issues too, Price says, as freedom of speech could be violated if the government is getting information on what innocent people are searching for in private. Keyword search warrants could, Price argues, have a "chilling effect" on how people use Google.
That may sound far-fetched, but given how attached Americans are to their devices and the internet, the bits and pieces of search queries people enter can add up to build a surprisingly complete picture of their private life. As the EFF's amicus brief reads, "Over the course of months and years, there is little about a users' life that will not be reflected in their search keywords, from the mundane to the most intimate. The result is a vast record of some of users' most private and personal thoughts, opinions, and associations."
Despite these concerns, Google is legally bound to respond to search warrants, though it could, if it chose, push back with its own appeals or join amicus briefs in cases involving rivals like Microsoft and Yahoo. So far, the company has declined to do so, though has denied government attempts to get more detailed Google subscriber information on those who searched particular terms, as it did in the arson case.
A Google spokesperson said, "As with all law enforcement requests, we have a rigorous process that is designed to protect the privacy of our users, including by pushing back on overly broad requests, while supporting the important work of law enforcement."
Only a handful of other examples of keyword warrants have been made public. Last year, Forbes revealed a 2019 order that was similar in nature to the one in the Denver arson. It saw Wisconsin investigators demand Google provide information on anyone who had searched for a sex trafficking victim's name, two spellings of her mother's name and her address during a 16 day period. There were also three keyword warrants served on Google, Microsoft and Yahoo in the investigation into the serial Austin bombings in 2018, which left two dead. These warrants were potentially the broadest on record, asking for information on individuals who searched for various addresses and terms associated with bomb making, such as "low explosives" and "pipe bomb."
The Supreme Court decision to overturn the guaranteed right to an abortion across the U.S. has also made keyword warrants even more of a concern, warns Jennifer Lynch, surveillance litigation director at the EFF. She envisioned a scenario where police asked for identifying information for anyone who searched for the address or telephone number of an abortion provider.
Despite their successful use in prosecuting criminals, critics argue that keyword warrants simply put too much power in the hands of government investigators, adds Lynch. "A search like this, where you just have no suspects and you don't know who you're going to end up with, you really run the risk that a person is targeted based on an officer's belief that their internet search could be somehow linked to the case," she says.

There is something so whimsical about this DIY... I've wanted to do this forever ago, but life just got in the way. Until now! I'm such a fan of boho glam... you know, a little bohemian with a side of glamour! Well, for this DIY, I wanted to create a gorgeous boho crown in the most subtle of ways. Since I'm blond (wink wink), I opted for tiny sparkly yellow glass beads. I wanted them to sort of blend into my hair color yet let a little sparkle shine through. Once completed, I was so pleased with its simplicity and beauty. So much so that I made two more. Later, I decided to wear all three at once being that they were each slightly different sizes. I fell even more in love with these beauties and couldn't wait to share them with all of you! In these pictures I'm wearing these hair jewels with my hair down, however, I think these would look equally stunning for an evening up do! So here is my first attempt at my own version of a boho glam crown. I'm going to continue to experiment with other beads and textures to create more hair jewels like these.... it's fun and oh so easy!
Measure your head according to the size crown you want to make.
Cut wire a few inches longer than the size you need.
Make a tiny loop on one end so that beads don't fall off.
Begin by inserting beads into the wire. Do this until you've filled it enough to fit the size crown you want.
Tie the ends of the wire in a knot ensuring that it's secure and won't come apart.
Cut off excess wire and voila... you're done!
So there it is... my DIY boho glam crown! I hope you guys love it just as much as I love mine! If you try this yourselves, please share your photos with me! I'd love see all of your boho goddesses out there wearing these pretty little beauties!
Thanks Kiana, it was a PLEASURE meeting you! Thank you so much for sharing this post... I love it!

Discussion in 'Deck Help and Strategy' started by Prize_Card, Jun 7, 2008.
Hey guys, its been a while since if done a thread on this deck.. But after months of revision I think I have a list thats somewhat to the real list that won St. Louis and a list that works really good.. So here it is!
Any suggestions are welcome! Strategy is self explanitory pretty much.. go agro with kakunas early game, and claydol.. smack with beedrills mid game.
IMO just 10 energy is WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY to low. Use at least 14 or so.
^ This is Beedrill. I tried it with 9 energy and it worked fine. Deck looks good. Maybe Quick Ball over Master Ball.
^ I was useing my own list.
Real list...lol everybody has a different list it honestly doesn't matter whose list you're using as long as it works. I prefer 11 or 12 energy, but this looks like it'll do fine. I'd like to see one more Warp Point but the list is so tight I wouldn't know what to take out...maybe a Master Ball?
Quickball is not very useful in this deck. I've switched it for duskball. Usually I use them after a Bebe's or a Master Ball.
BTW: How do you handle Fire decks? I find it hard to recover if they take out a Weedle or Kakuna before I get a Beedrill out.
Fire decks are not popular right now.
Empoleon takes those decks down with ease, so that's not too big of a worry. And next format Kingdra will keep fire decks at a minimum too.
Solid list, I like it.
In my state, some kid with Infernicatty has won, I think, every Battle Road. It is something to look out for.
Call Energy might be useful, but it can't help with Beedrill's main attack which needs 1 grass. You really need at least 8 energy that can power Band Attack, more than 10 just crowd the deck. I play 7 grass, 3 multi, and I frequently end up attaching 1 extra energy to a Beedrill just so I can get extra draw with Claydol. I think that 2nd energy on Beedrill may come in handy as a last-ditch effort if I have only 1 Beedrill left.
Notg tha I have tried it, but I would go Chatot over Phione. Yes Phione can get your evos out faster, but with the low nrg count, you dont want to spend it on the Phione! Chatot has 2 things going for it, Free Retreat and Cycling your hand early game. with the modified Ball Engine, Chatot helps get that hand back up for the start of next turn and keep it going!
Beedrill is interesting, but it takes a patient player to make the right moves with it!
Definitely use one Strength Charm instead of a Pluspower.
I think this deck has lost some of its power, more people are playing counter stadiums and sum newer decks give it a hard time. I would still say its higher than Tier 2..but I dunno about Tier 1 anymore.
I guess it depends on the metagame in your area.
But, Infernacatty sees minimal play in most areas due to Empoleons popularity.
Chatot is like having a buch of Copycat's in your hand. I really like the free retreat, which works very well with Beedrill. Very nice! Chatot is probably more helpful than Phione for this deck until Claydol comes up.
Swanton1717, what is the value of Strenght Charm over Plus Power? Don't they have the same effect? Plus Power seems more versatile since you can use 2 if you you have them and need them.
Try an additional 1-1 tech of something like Vaporeon or Scizor from the new set. If you ever saw Beedrill in action at regionals, you would know that it uses Claydol as a secondary attacker to control the pace of the game and to conserve Beedrills. Vaporeon or Scizor can do the same thing, only for one energy, and you get to keep your Claydol around for draw and setup. The effects of their one-energy attacks are extremely broken. Vaporeon puts Ape, Magmortar and Blaziken in range for a 3 Beedrill Band Attack while healing spread damage (which you are very likely to accumulate if you are playing Beedrill with the correct strategy). Scizor is just hot. Against special energies, it's like a Band Attack without all that tedious setup.
You can still play 2 Pluspower and 1 Strength Charm on one Pokemon. One Strength Charm is better because u can attach it to a Pokemon, not attack with that Pokemon, and the Strength Charm still stays attached. Therefore u can drop it before a Claydol to net more cards, or Stevens to get down to 6 in hand.
Hopefully get a Weedle and a Beedrill, bench Weedle, then Candy into Drill.
Done, nothing else, no techs, no counters, nothing. It won't work if you throw in anything other than what I just suggested because it's the only way I've seen it work. To throw in anything else will kill its speed and make it useless. But it does lose to fire very easily as a heads up.


Buy the Gefilte Fish Balls (24 Pieces) from Marks and Spencer's range. Buy the Gefilte Fish Balls (24 Pieces) from Marks and Spencer's range. Search . Search for products. UK Choose a... For the gefilte fish balls 1 (1 1/2-pound) fillet of whitefish and (1 1/2-pound) fillet of carp or pike (at fish store, ask for whole fish, filleted and skinned. Retain the heads and bones.
Mix an additional 1-2 minutes until veggies are well-combined with fish. Divide fish between the two loaf pans. Even out the loaves, and sprinkle with paprika if desired (my mom makes several sweet batches on which she doesn't put paprika, and several peppery batches on which she does).... I'm trying to make gefilte fish from scratch for the first time, and as soon as I put them in the simmering fish stock they dissolve. I'm starting from this recipe , but had to make substitutions. I can't find/afford carp, whitefish, and pike, so I'm using red snapper, tilapia, and desalinated salt cod.
When soft, form into 10 to 12 balls. In a 3-quart pot, sauté a small onion in oil. Add a cubed carrot, an unpeeled cubed squash and one clove of garlic (optional). Fill the pot halfway with water. Add paprika for color, bring to a boil, add fish balls.... Gefelte Fish Definition. Basically, Gefilte fish is a mixture of a variety of fish and matzoh meal formed into fish patties or balls. The fish can be whitefish, pike, carp, mullet, or others.
To make gefilte fish, you have to remove the bones and skin and then grind up the fish. You mix it with eggs, spices and carrots and then roll the mixture into fish balls (yes, I know that sounds gross).
