In October twenty-five TY and 5th Year students, along with teachers Ms. Crushell and Mr. Sheehy, enjoyed a trip to Romilly-sur-Seine in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France. The French group visited Beara in March, and on our return visit Irish students were hosted by their exchange partner families.
On the first day the group visited the Mercier Vineyards, taking a train through some of the 18km of underground cellars and learning about the process of champagne making. Next stop was the capital of the region, Reims, famous for its magnificent cathedral. After a walking tour of the centre, students explored the shopping district.
On Tuesday, the group visited the nearby town of Troyes. The medieval old town features narrow, cobbled streets lined with colourful half-timbered houses, dating back to the 16th century. While there, pupils visited the Museum of Modern Art and discovered the sights by carrying out a treasure hunt with the exchange partners.
The following day the group set off to Paris with French partners and took in the highlights of the city by boat on the Seine, which included the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum and Notre Dame Cathedral. In the afternoon, after a tour of the area surrounding Place Vendôme, students explored the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe.
Students spent Thursday morning at Lycée Joliot-Curie immersed in French school life, followed by lunch in the school canteen. The afternoon destination was La Petite Biscuiterie, a local artisan biscuit factory, where pupils saw how the biscuits are made and tasted some shortbread.
On the final day the group was treated to a French breakfast of croissants and hot chocolate in the school canteen, followed by a visit to the Town Hall where they were welcomed by the Mayor and Deputy Mayor.
A wonderful week was had by all. The exchange was a fantastic opportunity for students to improve their French language and to experience French culture first hand. Many thanks to all involved, who made the trip such a success.

Surely to visit, is the S. Maria Assunta's Cathedral, built probably on a preceding temple of V century b.C. in honor to Jupiter; a curiosity is represented by the Mulino Spagnolo at the beginning of the "dam" that join the city to the Argentario Mountain. Really interesting is the S. Francesco di Paola church and also the one consecrated to the Madonna delle Grazie (this one finely frescoed). Etruscan towns and burial sites scattered trough the Maremma hinterland form the destination for fascinating excursions and archeological visits. Enchanting medieval villages preserved in their original condition are also characteristic of this area. Capalbio with medieval architecture and wild Mediterranean scrub evoke a sense of unforgettable tranquility. For Modern Art the fantastic Tarot Garden of Niki De Saint Phalle, an artist of international renown, whose works, made of mirrors and brightly colored ceramics, represent the mysterious symbols of the Tarots.
In the Maremma its natural beauty is well preserved, with its particular landscapes and the quality of its products. There are many protected areas in parks and natural reserves. It unveils itself as a beautiful and untamed land, unspoiled and abundant, caressed by sun and sea, brimming with those natural perfumes that only a carefully protected natural environment can provide. From Talamone to Capalbio you will find kilometres of beaches and inlets; Giglio, a large and beautiful pearly island in the sea, or Montecristo, a deserted island, or Giannutri with the ruins of the Roman villas are well worth your visit. And the Argentario, a headland which appears to be a vessel, moored to the coast at both ends, the Tomboli of Giannella and Feniglia. Between the two is the backwater of Orbetello.
Michelangelo Merisi, called Caravaggio (Milan, September 29, 1571 - Porto Ercole, July 18, 1610) was an Italian painter. Trained in Milan he worked in Rome, Naples, Malta and Sicily between 1593 and 1610, and was one of the most famous Italian painters of all time, his fame is still universal. On 16 July 2010, nearly 400 years after his death and after over a year of historical research, analysis of skeletal and comparisons with the DNA of the descendants of surname "Merisio", a team of Italian scientists has confirmed that the bones covered with lead and mercury (used in abundance by the painters of the '600 to prepare the colors) found in a mass grave in the cemetery in Porto Ercole, are at "85%" those of the great artist. The remains of Caravaggio were located in the crypt of the Cemetery Church of Porto Ercole. The research was organized by a consortium of institutions coordinated by the University of Bologna, with the support of the universities of Salento and Aquila and the environmental research center of Ravenna. The result was reached by combining the results of investigations of historiographical and skeletal biology, and the use of technologies for the detection of heavy metals in the bones, earthy sediment and DNA analysis. On July 3, 2010, after a week in the town of Caravaggio, the remains of Caravaggio have been reported by sea in Porto Ercole (where they will remain), and put on display at Forte Stella.

Rural Hospitals Weigh Independence Against Need For Computer Help
One of the biggest challenges American hospitals face right now is moving to electronic medical records from old-fashioned paper files.
The switch is costing tens of billions of dollars, eating up tons of staff time, and it's especially tough for the country's 2,000 rural and small-town hospitals.
Rural hospitals are typically short on cash and people with information technology skills. So a lot of small hospitals are turning to bigger hospitals for help, and giving up some independence in exchange. The 10-bed Beartooth Billings Clinic in Red Lodge, Mont., is one hospital that did.
Red Lodge, a historic mining town just outside Yellowstone National Park, is about 60 miles west of Billings. On a recent spring day, the only thing slowing cars on Main Street in Red Lodge is a flock of wild turkeys strutting across the pavement.
Just days before, though, the road was covered with two feet of snow. Getting in and out of Red Lodge can be a real problem, as Dr. Billy Oley knows. He lives just a few miles from Beartooth Billings Clinic, at the hospital here.
"There was a time that the nurses won't let me forget," he says. "I drove my tractor to work one day because I couldn't get my truck here. I had to plow with the tractor all the way to the hospital, and I just kept it here."
On days like that, Oley and his patients are particularly grateful for his hospital's electronic medical records. He can share patient information instantly and securely with the big hospital in Billings and get expert advice whenever he needs it.
"We see a lot of patients who are able to not have to travel or see specialists, or do different things because we can just take care of it here," Oley says.
Sharing electronic records sounds simple. But for a lot of little hospitals doing that while meeting new federal digital standards means coming up with $1 million or more up front. That's a tall order, when the average rural hospital runs at a financial loss of 8 percent a year.
So the Red Lodge hospital became part of the bigger Billings Clinic system, in part to get help with IT. When hospitals align or merge, they give up some, or maybe all, control of their operations – everything from which records system they'll use to which doctors and services are available where.
But affiliating with a big network often has benefits and can improve the care available in small towns.
Scott Duke with the Billings Clinic system says a lot of small hospitals are weighing trade-offs like Red Lodge's in return for help for EMRs.
"To almost everyone we talk to, the EMR is right there" as a top concern, Duke says.
But for many rural hospitals it's a point of pride, and matter of survival, to stay independent, and make their own decisions about the future.
A four-hour drive west from Red Lodge, the little town of Anaconda, Mont., sits in a fold of steep mountains and lush forests. The hospital there is a scrappy independent, and a proven survivor. It's got 25 beds, and executive Meg Boynton says people in the area rely on it for everything from complex surgeries to routine care.
"We average about 36 to 50 births a year," she says.
This building opened in 1981. The year before, a giant copper smelter shut down, leaving a lot of empty buildings in town. The economy remains marginal.
Steve McNeece, the hospital's CEO, says it survives because they never get too comfortable. "Part of our goal and mission is to have a culture that embraces change and challenge," he says.
McNeece's hospital, unlike many in small towns, can find the $1.5 million it needs to finance the digital upgrade. He says it's an obvious improvement over the old way they used to transfer patient information. "Put in a manilla folder and put it on the patient's abdomen when they're in the ambulance going to Saint Pat's," he laughs.
Anaconda's hospital looks as though it's going to be able to adopt the latest information technology and stay independent. But its fate is still tied to bigger hospitals in the area. It only makes sense for Anaconda to use the same records system as the places where the hospital refers patients for more specialized care.
"That was really the main driver in our decision-making. From a patient care perspective, this seemed like a safe and wise decision," says McNeece.
Whether rural hospitals choose to do their digital upgrade independently, or partner with a bigger system, it's important they have a conscious digital strategy, says Brock Slabach, a vice president with the National Rural Health Association.
"We're very concerned about a digital divide that might be created going forward between the urban haves, if you will, and the rural have-nots," he says.
Slabach worries hundreds of hospitals aren't meeting new digital benchmarks as time to take advantage of federal help is running out. Starting this October, hospitals that don't meet digital records standards will be hit with financial penalties, which would make the digital leap even harder to pull off.

Q: Redhat Enterprise Linux 4.7 - Ping problem When I try to ping some of the IP addresses I get "connect: No buffer space is available" error. Also when I check /var/log/messages, there are some errors like as following
printk: 99 messages overflow
kernel: Neighbour table overflow

do you have any ideas about this problem?

A: There is a related thread here and a possible solution here.
Basically this happens because the interface "neighbour" table fills up when too many different addresses connect to your server within a short interval. Increasing the table size and using more aggressive garbage collection for its contents resolves this issue.

Patch is a transdermal dosage form that has increasing number of applications for its simplicity with controlled release profile of drug. The ability to provide controlled release manner of drug is developed by the use of polymer as the matrix. In this research, patch of ketoprofen were formulated using various concentrations of chitosan as matrix. Preparation of the transdermal patch were conducted by using solvent evaporation method. Characterization of patch were included physical characteristic, homogeneity, drug assay, drug permeation and stability study. Permeation test were performed in vitro by using Franz diffusion cells with shed snake's skin of Phyton reticulatus as diffusion membrane for 24 hours. The result showed that Chitosan is a potential polymer to be used as matrix for patches since it was stable and gave peel off ability. Permeability test showed that a decrease in permeation of ketoprofen was in line with the increase of chitosan as matrix. Formula containing chitosan 1% and tween 80 0,3% as permeation enhancer gave the highest permeation number as much as 99,15%.

The story of Ananias and Sapphira can make us shudder. It is sobering and rather dark. You can read the account in Acts 5:1-9.
People in the early church were generously selling properties and giving to God's cause and the money was shared with those in need. Ananias and Sapphira were inspired to join the others in blessing the church. They decided to sell some of their property and they pledged that whatever they received from the sale, they would give to the church.
At some point along the way, they began to second-guess their decision to give all the money from the sale. Wow, did we really pledge to give all the money from the property? Let's give some of the money, and keep the rest. That way, we will still appear very generous, the church folk will think well of us, and we can retain some of the funds.
They made an agreement that they would pretend that their donation was the entire price of the sale.
They forgot something very important: They did not merely lie to the church leadership. They lied to the Holy Spirit. God hates hypocrisy and falsehood. Ananias and Sapphira practiced fraud in their dealing with God. You can read what happened in the Scripture account.
"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain." In other words, If I call myself a Christian, it must go beyond a label.
A hymn that Christians often sing is All to Jesus, I Surrender. Recently, it struck me that, like Ananias and Sapphira, every time I sing that song I am making a pledge. I am pledging to give Jesus everything I have.
But unlike those two unfortunate people above, I pray that I will give Him my all. He gave everything for me. He is worthy of my all, nothing held back, not even 50 cents, not even a half hour per week. He deserves 100 per cent! I will ask God for the grace to follow through with my pledge. I can never out-give the Lord! Those who give all have no regrets.
His grace is sufficient. Praise His name!
The Biblical account of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar relates a sad tangle of human weaknesses. Yet God cared for Hagar, and looked out for her and for her son. God looks out for each of us, noting our sufferings and willing to forgive our sins. His longing is to restore us to Himself.

Kellinghusen () is a town in the district of Steinburg in the Bundesland of Schleswig-Holstein.

Geography
Kellinghusen is located northeast of Itzehoe on both sides of the Stör River. The federal highway Bundesstraße 206 passes Kellinghusen in the south. Kellinghusen is connected with the Bundesautobahn 7 in the east and the Bundesautobahn 23 in the west. Prospectively Kellinghusen will be connected with the Bundesautobahn 20 in the south. The next Railroad stations are in Wrist, Bad Bramstedt and Itzehoe.
The Luftkurort Kellinghusen, a health resort, is in the countryside of Holstein and a gateway to the 380-square-kilometer Aukrug Nature Park.  The slightly hilly landscape of this nature park, with a favorable climate of forests, ponds, heathland, and moorland, serves as a popular holiday destination.

History
Kellinghusen was first mentioned in the 11th century and became known during the 18th century for its faience. The town, which has existed since the time of Charlemagne, was first known as Kellinghusen around the year 1148, as evidenced by the name "Thoto of Kerleggehusen."  The residents were primarily craftsmen, traders, and manufacturers.  Plentiful clay in the area favored the establishment of faience factories.

From 1964 - 2009 Kellinghusen was one base of the Bundeswehr. During Cold war an arsenal of nuclear weaponry of the United States Armed Forces was situated in Kellinghusen.

This week, Newbridge College is launching its newly revised Code of Behaviour.
All members of the Newbridge College community have been involved in this review. Our new Code of Behaviour embodies the values and the characteristic spirit of our school community. Our revised Code of Behaviour promotes positive behaviour, creates high expectations for us all, helps build great relationships and most importantly is based on the values that we have agreed will enable us to live well and achieve well in our school.
The values represented by the acronym RESPECT are embedded in the code. This stands for Responsibility, Empathy, Safety, Pride, Excellence, Co-operation and Truth. The code embodies the values of Restorative Practices.
Our Code of Behaviour sets out guidelines which will create a positive learning environment in classrooms and a safe and secure atmosphere for all.
The guidelines set out in our new code are intended to emphasise and recognise all we do well and give guidance and direction when we need intervention and  support.
Our code should help us all to set the very highest standards for the way we live in Newbridge College. Our hope is that it will reflect the way we live as a community.

It is well established that hormones, including progesterone, modulate inflammatory responses. The interaction between immune cells and the vascular endothelium play a central role in mediating the local inflammatory response in all tissues, however it is still unclear whether progesterone signals within the endothelium to regulate local inflammatory processes. Using a combination of genetic animal models and in vitro experimentation under flow, we have been able to clarify the contribution of this hormone in the vasculature.


I'm totally in love with Claire's. Not that I already wasn't into that store but I'm loving it more now.
The last two weeks were pretty messy as my sister's birthday is coming and we HAD to find a perfect dress for her.
Anyways, I ended up in Claire's yesterday and I found this really amazing bag there.
Also, as the sale is on in almost every store of Delhi (India) Claire's should be kept first in your priority list.
How fun! What a great bag, I think I might have to get one for my niece, she'll love it!

Vermont compels companies to label products
Consumers will soon know if their foods contain ingredients sourced from genetically modified organisms.
Consumers will soon know if the can of soup, bowl of cereal or handful of M&Ms they're eating contains ingredients sourced from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). With a law in Vermont—the first state to mandate labeling for foods containing GMOs—scheduled to go into effect July 1, many food companies have found themselves backed into a corner. Faced with a dilemma, major manufacturers say all their products across the country will carry the GMO label claim to comply with the Vermont law.
Earlier this year, Campbell Soup became the first company to publically state its support of labeling products that contain GMOs. Other companies such as General Mills, Kellogg, ConAgra and Mars followed suit this month.
"At our core, Kellogg believes in transparency and that people should know what's in their food and where it comes from. There's been a lot of talk over the past year about GMO ingredients because of the ongoing debate in Washington, DC and around the country about whether and how foods that contain genetically modified ingredients should be labeled," says Paul Norman, president of Kellogg North America. General Mills Executive Vice President and COO Jeff Harmening announced his company's change in a blog post and called for a national solution to the GMO labeling problem. "We can't label our products for only one state without significantly driving up costs for our consumers, and we simply will not do that," Harmening wrote. "The result: Consumers all over the US will soon be seeing words legislated by the state of Vermont on the labels of many of their favorite General Mills products. With the Vermont labeling legislation upon us, and with the distinct possibility that other states will enact different labeling requirements, what we need is simple: We need a national solution."
The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) responded to General Mills' announcement, saying it is the latest example of how Vermont's law is becoming a big problem for businesses. "Food companies are being forced to make decisions on how to comply and having to spend millions of dollars," GMA says. "One small state's law is setting labeling standards for consumers across the country."

Beyond Baroque in 1998: The 30th Anniversary Rededication Candlelight Walk (Photographs)
Beyond Baroque in 1998
Twenty years ago, Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center in Venice, California celebrated its 30th anniversary. Founded in a storefront on West Washington Blvd. by George Drury Smith as the headquarters for his nascent publishing project, Beyond Baroque magazine, the project had spawned a weekly poetry workshop, free and open to the public, that still meets on Wednesday evening, a reading series that has featured some of the most famous poets in the United States (Philip Levine, Mark Strand, John Ashbery, Amy Gerstler) as well as fiction writers, such as Charles Baxter. Under the direction of Alexandra Garrett, Beyond Baroque cultivated a superb library of small press publications, and it still operates a bookstore that can provide any young writer with a chance to peruse books not easily found at Barnes and Noble.
Beyond Baroque will be celebrating its 50th anniversary on November 10th with an extraordinary evening of featured artists, but before I write in this blog about this upcoming event, I first want to share with you some photographs I took of the evening on which poets recommitted themselves to this project. The president and artistic director of Beyond Baroque at that time, Fred Dewey, and I had come up with the idea of holding a brief pilgrimage to mark the 30th anniversary, and so we gathered at the Old Venice City Hall, lit some candles and walked up to West Washington, which now goes by the name of Abbott Kinney.
The storefront in which Beyond Baroque operated was the first floor of one of the taller buildings on West Washington. The lot to the south was empty and used only in a minimal manner as a boat building and repair lot; it is occupied by a popular specialty. restaurant, Lemonade. This first picture focuses on George Drury Smith, and it appears that he is gazing offstage at road taken, and retaken, mulling over the changes on Venice Blvd. as we made the 12 minute walk. Just over his shoulder is Harry Northup, and he is facing Frances Dean Smith, one of the first members of the Wednesday night poetry workshop, founded by John Harris and Joseph Hansen.
This next photograph features John Harris, wearing a blue cap; he is obviously enjoying the company of Barry Simons, who gave several memorable readings at The Bridge on the other side of town in the early 1970s; since Frances Dean Smith could hardly afford the services of a babysitter in the early to mid-1960s, she often brought her daughter, Marina Bukowski, to this very room to listen to poets who now regard Ellyn Maybe (dark hair, blue pullover), the only one of this quartet still alive, as a writer who has truly honored their legacy with her vivacious poetry.
Holly Prado and Harry Northup, who met as a result of Harry reading FEASTS, the first major success I had with Momentum Press in the 1970s, are talking with George Drury Smith in the next photograph.
Ellyn and Frances again:
John Thomas and Philomene Long drove from the Old Venice City Hall to the original site. John Thomas's eponymous first book of poem had an extraordinary influence on the first generation of Beyond Baroque workshop poets.
David James, on the far left, read his poems on a Friday evening in 1974 with me as the other featured poet. It must be said that David's poems were far better received than mine were, as they should have been Although he eventually concentrated on film criticism, his poems are still a crucial contribution to my second anthology, "Poetry Loves Poetry" (1985).
And now for some "cameo" photographs of other poets in attendance:

That would be an old pic.
A bloke up here was doing some renovations.
He had some doors and a couple of windows leaning up against his caravan in the front yard with a big sign that said FREE.
Two days later he added "not the van" on the bottom of the sign.
Hear about the fridge ?
Submitted by DDR on Mon, 09/04/2018 - 12:21.
Bloke had a fridge he no longer wanted, too good to throw away so he put it on the nature strip out front with sign, free fridge but after a couple of weeks it was still out there .. he changed the sign to "For Sale $100" and it was stolen that night, lol.

When i started on the HK, we also owned a 99% rust free HG 308 GTS, stripped down but Cook wanted her rusted HK daily rebuilt.
I sold the HG rolling shell for $5000 and spent some of it to get my first puter and first look at this ebay i'd heard about ... soon saw how out of touch i was with values, dammit, lol.
I was more shocked that there is so many other people into old cars.

Edward Monaghan helps individuals and families find focus.
By Tammy Marashlian
The Santa Clarita Signal
Staying focused, learning to respect others and becoming more effective are a few of the skills that youngsters struggle to understand as they grow up.
But Edward Monaghan believes these lessons can be learned at a faster rate through his unique method of martial arts and fitness – designed to improve the minds of kids.
By applying his experience in movement-based awareness training on children and adults and martial arts training, Monaghan hopes to help adolescents of all kinds with all sorts of learning backgrounds at Ekata, his newly opened martial arts center in Valencia.
The Techniques
Monaghan believes he has developed a special martial arts education based on research and experience. The lessons taught at Ekata are comprised of Monaghan's Movement-Based Awareness Training, elements of Jeet Kune Do, a style of martial arts, and Qigong, which focus on breath and movement practices.
In addition, the classes teach awareness training as a result of the various sensory exercises practiced at the studio and the components of eastern meditation.
One example of an auditory awareness exercise is clicking a series of sticks to "develop auditory acuity," as Monaghan explains.
With exercises like that, Monaghan said, "You're training the neurotransmission pathways to tighten up."
The more drills that are practiced, the more a person focuses on an external stimulus that comes into the body.
Another type of drill focuses on visual acuity, where a student will track a series of lit dots on a screen. Similar to the auditory skills, Monaghan said a person is increasing their focusing abilities.
As a result, Monaghan said a child will perform better in school.
"The child is learning to listen better," he said.
Monaghan's techniques are also applicable to children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder.
Highlighting that the problem with children facing the two disorders is their lack of ability to remain focused. Monaghan believes that anything that will elongate children's attention span, like his special blend of martial arts, will train the youngsters to train their minds.
However, Monaghan said he teaches children to not necessarily overcome their obstacles with learning difficulties, but to understand how to adapt to their environment, given their situation.
He finds that it is better to "be able to recognize your own strengths and learn to make the best of what you've got."
By understanding how to use strengths, Monaghan said martial arts can become an alternative or another type of treatment for addressing any learning issues.
Knowing that students with the two attention disorders learn differently, Monaghan offers private lessons for youngsters that have learning difficulties.
Monaghan's lessons are not just limited to kids, as he also offers classes for adults, and even entire families.
"There are so many adults that are over-stressed," he said.
Some adults looking to get in shape don't always feel comfortable in the gym. Or, as Monaghan is finding, some of his clients want to learn a style of exercise that has meaning.
"It's not about bashing around things," he said about martial arts. "It goes on a deeper level with the philosophy."
Monaghan said he is finding that many of his adult students are striving to find something beneficial through their exercise program that will alleviate stress.
In other instances, adults are being pulled to the classes through their children, who are already enrolled at Ekata.
Currently, Monaghan explained that he has about five or six entire families enrolled in his classes, something he did not anticipate.
The Instructor
Monaghan is no stranger to understanding martial arts. The head instructor of Ekata has 30 years of experience with the art and holds a black belt.
He has a background with overseeing similar types of centers, as he managed the corporate gym facility for Salick Health Care Inc. in the '90s. He also launched a boutique health club in Beverly Hills, named The Boulevard Health Club, before launching his own martial arts school, Combative Arts Academy.
Monaghan has also trained a handful of celebrities, including Val Kilmer, Mira Sorvino, Rachel Hunter and John Malkovitch.
He is currently a professor at UCLA's school of theater, where he teaches courses in applied movement, physiology, eastern philosophy and combat for stage and film.
The Growing Research
The style of martial arts taught by Monaghan comes as part of a growing body of research that focuses on the positive effects of martial arts and its core teachings.
Monaghan initially got involved with understanding alternative methods to medications after his son was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. Not ready to have his child take prescription pills to alleviate the symptoms, he turned to acupuncture and soon noticed a change in his son's condition.
Although Monaghan is unable to fully pinpoint acupuncture as the reason for his son's improvement, as there are many variables that contribute to a disorder, he believes the alternative form of medicine played a major role.
As a result of his new-found understanding of martial arts, he found other areas of research that focus on the use of meditation for children with ADHD.
Monaghan is currently combining research from UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center and UC Irvine's Laboratory for Mind/Body Signaling and Energy Research to understand the effects of movement based awareness training as a way to aid the cognitive learning skills among children and adults diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Attention Deficient Disorder.

How notable must doubt be?
Skeptics requires questions to be about notable claims. The burden of proof is on the question to provide evidence that the claim is notable.
Must the question also provide evidence that there is a notable doubt about the claim?
This is particularly an issue for questions about cultural phenomena. What's unbelievable to someone from one cultural background might be so normal to someone from another culture that they never even stopped to think about it. Only in the last week I learned that droppings are not commonplace everywhere (not that I'm surprised, but the thought that they aren't simply never crossed my mind). Perhaps someone from a different culture may find this so strange that they are not sure if it's true.
Is the Earth round? Questions Proof that the earth is round? and Is the Earth flat? are closed.
Is this photo showing a woman standing in the nude before teenagers real? — question is currently open.
Hypothetical: Is the sky blue? would likely be closed as off-topic.
Hypothetical: Do Dutch parents really drop their kids in the woods?
Hypothetical: Do American kids really sing to the flag?
What are the defining criteria here?
Don't understand the issue. The rule says "claims must be notable". And that is somewhat measurable: impact, reach, views, prominent person… But what do you mena with notable doubt? The asker has doubt, is a single person: must his/her doubt be notable? How should that be agreed upon? – LаngLаngС Jul 29 '19 at 16:22
"Do American kids really sing to the flag?" If you mean the pledge, then no. There's plenty of songs about the flag and that reference the flag. Singing to the flag would be a first for me, an American. – fredsbend Jul 31 '19 at 0:38
To be clear, American school children recite the pledge of allegiance. They do not sing it. I suppose it might sound a bit singsong, as it is recited quickly, by rote, every school day. But it's not actually sung. – Brythan Aug 2 '19 at 0:57
@Brythan I see, I thought they were signing (part of) the national anthem while the flag was being raised. My mistake. – gerrit Aug 13 '19 at 10:21
I believe this is a pretty similar question to If a claim is commonly accepted, does questioning it require a notable counter-claim?
My proposed answer there I think applies here too - in summary:
TL;DR: We should only demand evidence of notability in one direction, and accept genuine disbelief of the claim by the OP as being sufficiently notable in the other.
Looking at your example questions:
Proof that the earth is round? was closed because the notability source was a humour site, rather than for being off-topic.
Is the Earth flat? was edited by two mods, and re-opened once by a mod (me), before being closed by 5 members of the community. Interesting that the mods think it is on-topic but the community doesn't. (I want to take a lesson from that, but I haven't yet.)
Is the sky blue? Under my proposal, the OP would be asked to why they are skeptical, to see if the question has been asked in good faith, and if so, should be on topic. [Aside: Using "The sky is blue" as an example of an obvious fact has always struck me as hilarious. It is often black, white, red, pink, yellow...
Do Dutch parents really drop their kids in the woods? Seems on-topic, but one where the simplest of Google searches would address it. [Aside: I would already be editing out the "really" before I had finished reading the rest of the question.
Do American kids really sing to the flag? It would be clearer if the question had a scope - ALL US kids? SOME US kids? In 2019?
I was very confused for a minute there. You put two links to "Proof that the earth is round?" but it seems like the second link should be Is the Earth flat. – JMac Jul 30 '19 at 13:42
@jmac: Corrected. Thanks. Too many open tabs, obviously! Sorry. – Oddthinking♦ Jul 30 '19 at 20:59
How you know there is genuine disbelief on the part of the questioner? One way of course is to assume that if the answer is widely known then they are not asking in good faith. This is a great approach, but doesn't it lead us to the same place? If there is no significant belief in the falsity of the question then we are allowed to close it. – DJClayworth Jul 31 '19 at 1:52
@dlclayworth: I have asked them in the comments. To date, this send to have got reasonable enough results (with answers in both directions). – Oddthinking♦ Jul 31 '19 at 4:18
We have historically said that only the claim needs to be notable, and this has led to some questions that should have been closed, and would have been closed had they asked in the reverse sense. This is not good for the site.
The logic is simple. If "Is the earth flat?" is not a good question, then "Is the earth not flat?" is also not a good question for exactly the same reason.
Questions should only be on topic if there is notability on both sides - if a notable set of people believe both the truth and falsehood of the statement.

"The logic is simple." You'll have to spell it out then, because my understanding of logic is that not x = a is not the same as x = a. – fredsbend Jul 31 '19 at 0:41
My point is that "Is x equal to a" is the same question as "Is x not equal to a" ,just with yes and no reversed. Whether yes and no are reversed makes no fundamental difference to the quality of the question. – DJClayworth Jul 31 '19 at 1:56
I agree that the two questions are equivalent, and have edited titles to reverse them to avoid clumsy negations. But having to prove that many people believe and disbelieve a claim, without putting the answer in the question, is pretty tough needle to thread. – Oddthinking♦ Jul 31 '19 at 4:21
OK, I see your point. We might have difficulty finding enough people aware of a claim to find a notable number both for and against.. But the claim Ms we want to target (I.e close) are the ones where there is a generally accepted answer (earth is round). If we could close those it would be progress. Maybe we need a little more nuance for questions where the claim is little known, but even if we were unable to close those closing the obvious ones would be progress. – DJClayworth Aug 1 '19 at 2:22

We live in Northern California. There are olive trees all over the place. We even live close to one of the premier olive oil producers anywhere, Lucero in Corning. Corning is the center of olive growing in Northern California. To prove the point we have 15 Mission olive trees on our property alone. I thought about making our own olive oil a while back so I went over to Lucero to find out how to do it. I came away with feeling overwhelmed by the whole process. I felt as though we'd wind up doing a heck of a lot of work and then have grubby olive oil to show for it. Grubby means infested with insects. It's a style. It's just not my style. So it just didn't seem worth it. I now realize why cold press extra virgin olive oil is so expensive. It takes a crazy amount of work to produce it!
This year we have another bumper crop of olives. So instead of pressing oil I thought why not try curing the dang things? I asked around to some local people and came up with a process that might work so I'm going to try it. I'm going to try salt-cured ripe olives. Let's see how I do.
Here's what I was told to do by my neighbor.
Cover the bottom of a thick cardboard or wooden box with burlap or cheesecloth. In a bowl, mix together equal weights of non-iodized salt and olives. (For example, one pound of olives to one pound of salt.) Spread the olives and salt evenly in the box. Pour an additional layer of non-iodized salt over everything so that nearly all of the olives are covered. This will probably be an additional pound of salt. Place the box outdoors in the shade or somewhere safe so any liquid that oozes from it will not stain the surface underneath. Stir the salt-covered olives well with a wooden spoon once a week for four weeks, or until the olives are cured. Bite into one to see how it tastes to know if they're cured like you want them. They are supposed to taste slightly bitter.
Once your olives are cured the way you like them remove them from the salt. Dip the olives in a large pot of boiling water for a few seconds; then drain in a colander and stop the cooking with cold tap water. Spread them on paper towels and let them dry for a few hours or overnight. Coat the olives you wish to eat within a few days with fruity olive oil (rub them with your fingers to distribute the oil) and keep them in the refrigerator in a tightly capped jar.
if you have any leftovers you can mix them at a ratio of two parts olives to one part non-iodized salt by weight and keep them refrigerated. They won't keep more than a month.
In about 4 weeks I will write a post about how they turned out and what I learned.
