How to Bring 'More Beautiful' Questions Back to School

In the age of information, factual answers are easy to find. Want to know who signed the Declaration of Independence? Google it. Curious about the plot of Nathaniel Hawthorne's famous novel, "The Scarlet Letter"? A quick Internet search will easily jog your memory. But while computers are great at spitting out answers, they aren't very good at asking questions. But luckily, that's where humans can excel.
Curiosity is baked into the human experience. Between the ages of 2 and 5, kids ask on average 40,000 questions, said Warren Berger, author of "A More Beautiful Question," at the Innovative Learning Conference hosted at the Nueva School. Young kids encounter something new, learn a little bit about it, get curious and then continue to add on a little more information with each new discovery. Warren says that's where curiosity happens, in the gap between learning something and being exposed to something new.
'If you are a questioner, you are going against the grain. That could appeal to young people.' Warren Berger, author of 'A More Beautiful Question'
"Kids are lighting up their pleasure zones and getting dopamine hits every time they learn something that solves something they were curious about," Berger said. He contends that questioning is a highly valued skill. Companies are looking for people who can ask deep questions that will solve real problems and lead to profitable solutions. Equally important, it's up to an informed citizenry to ask questions about the world, policies and the actions of our government.
Luckily, kids are hard-wired for that kind of generative curiosity. Unfortunately, "right around age 5 or 6, questioning drops off a cliff," Berger said. Paradoxically, when kids go to school they stop asking so many questions. "Children enter school as question marks and leave schools as periods," Berger said, quoting Neil Postman.* But why?
There are a lot of understandable reasons why questioning drops off in school. Foremost among them is time. "Time really conspires against questioning," Berger said. "In the classroom there often isn't time to let kids ask their questions." And really good, deep questions often take a lot of time to unravel -- more time than a harried teacher trying to cover all the curriculum often feels she can afford. And while time pressure is a very real part of teaching, not making time for questioning says a lot about how valuable it is to us. People make time for the things they value.
But knowledge can also be the enemy of questioning. "As we know more, or feel we know more, we may be less inclined to question," Berger said. Sometimes answers can close down other avenues of thinking or ways of seeing a problem, but that all depends on how teachers treat knowledge. When treated as a life-long endeavor, learning a little bit about something opens up space to learn more.
And of course there are social barriers to questioning. Many kids don't see asking questions as "cool." And the perception that question askers are suck-ups or dorks probably also comes from fear. Many people feel vulnerable admitting they don't know something. They are afraid to offer a window into their inner world by wondering out loud.
These barriers to questioning are real and challenging, but there are lots of ways parents and teachers can work to make questioning a normal part of school and life. One of the primary ways adults can support questioning, Berger said, is to model curiosity and to value questions. Instead of asking a child, "What did you learn at school today," a parent might ask, "What great question did you ask today?" Or, when a child asks one of those great, deep questions that gets at why humans are even here, parents could dive in and explore the question with their child.
"You don't have to have the answers. You just have to have the interest," Berger said. Instead of trying to close off questioning by providing a pat answer or a terse "I don't know," parents might say, "If you were going to start answering that question, where would you start?"
"We want their questions to be large and expanded instead of being diminished and eventually going away," Berger said. That philosophy should apply to school as well.
5 WAYS TO HELP STUDENTS BECOME BETTER QUESTIONERS
1. Make It Safe: "I think this might be the most important one," Berger said. Many kids won't raise their hand in front of the whole class to ask a question because they're shy or nervous. "Fear kills curiosity," Berger said. "The two things do not exist very well together." But a student that might be afraid to question in front of the whole group may be willing to ask questions in a smaller group or to write a question down. Teachers can help make small groups even safer by laying out protective rules like "no question can be edited or judged."
"The key thing is it makes questioning the point of the activity, and that is rarely the case," Berger said. "The point is always to get to the answer." Asking good questions takes practice. The Right Question Institute offers protocols to get students questioning, but teachers shouldn't expect kids to immediately be good at it.
2. Make it Cool: Berger suggests convincing kids that good questions lead to cool stuff and make the world a better place. Furthermore, people who ask good questions are cool people, even rebellious people sometimes. "The people who are really breaking new ground are the people asking questions," Berger said. "Questioners are the explorers, the mavericks."
And questions can make people uncomfortable, especially when they hit on something true. "If you are a questioner, you are going against the grain," Berger said. "That could appeal to young people."
3. Make It Fun: Turning questioning into a game can be a great way to make the process more lighthearted and fun. Frame the process as being a detective, solving riddles or puzzles. One possible game to get kids started is to take closed questions and turn them into open questions and visa versa. This helps kids really understand the difference and what makes a strong question.
Students could also approach the issue with "why" questions to dig into it, then start asking "what if" questions to open up their imaginations and finally "how might we" questions to begin coming up with solutions. "How might we" is a more invigorating and creative questioning tact that "how could we" or "how should we" prompts, which tend to have more judgment in them.
4. Make It Rewarding: Many students are used to empty praise from their teachers. When students venture a deep question, they commonly hear, "That's a great question, let's move on." But an educator's genuine interest in the question will be much more powerful than any praise.
Additionally, teachers can create structures in their classes to reward questioning. Perhaps there is a best question of the week, where students get to vote on one another's questions. Or maybe there's a bonus question on a test that is itself a question: "What question should have been on this test, but wasn't?"
5. Make It Stick: Questioning has to be a regular part of the school day for it to become a student habit. The famous comedian George Carlin used to talk about "vuja de," that none of this has ever happened before. He was joking, but he also credited his ability to look at familiar situations in fresh ways as a key to his success.
Educators could follow Carlin's lead and spend some time one day a week looking at a common object or idea and pushing students to ask questions about it as if they've never seen it before. "If you can instill this habit of mind in kids, this is the key to success for innovators," Berger said.
If educators can find the precious minutes to foster these habits, Berger believes it could go a long way to developing critical thinkers. "I know that often times it doesn't feel like there's room to do some of these things under the current schedules and demands, but I feel like what needs to be done is small acts of insurrection," he told educators and parents gathered at the conference.
Questioning Is About Power
Feeling confident to question the systems of power around us is one of the key jobs of an informed citizenry. Kids need to learn during their time at school that they have the right to know, to challenge assumptions and to dig deeper. Fostering this mentality in students can be challenging for teachers who are often complicit in systems of control over students. But often when teachers open the space for these questions, value them and explore them with students, a deep trust is built.
"I also think questioning matters because questions open up a dialogue instead of shutting it down," Berger said. He says it's the honest, thoughtful, respectful questions that start really good discussions. And ultimately could lead to the equity that so many educators and students are striving toward.
It's also important to note that questioning makes a student vulnerable, and every student has a different relationship and experience with standing up to authority. "It's very possible that there could be some groups of kids who would be more worried about how questioning is going to make them look," Berger said. "That kid has more at stake," and teachers need to recognize that.
These equity questions are the next topic Berger wants to explore. One study he read showed that upper-income families encouraged questioning in school, while lower-income families told their children to fit in and not rock the boat.
"Just because they're not asking a question doesn't mean they won't have them," Berger said. He's researching how people are making questioning safe for everyone. Ultimately, questioning and reflecting are the keys to self-growth, something educators want for all their students.
"It's OK to ask ambitious questions about yourself, your life, and that you won't have the answer right away," Berger said. Often people don't ask those kinds of questions because they're afraid they won't have the answer. But if questioning deeply has always been part of the learning process, perhaps the next generation of citizens won't be so afraid to sit with those hard questions.

Home Media The Politics of a Big Tent
The Politics of a Big Tent
I admire Fareed Zakaria, the celebrated Indian-American journalist who hosts CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS. It is neither due to the fact that his parents are from Mumbai, India, nor that he belongs to the intellectual elite. I admire him for his powers of observation and perception. His comments on the Politics of a Big Tent should be important for any country.
One evening in late August, as I was trying to catch some sleep, I was kept up by a You Tube video of Zakaria's analysis of the recently concluded 2020 Democratic National Convention. While it was very much based on the US elections, I could relate it very much to Malaysia, the larger Asian region, and even Europe. He insightfully observed that Joe Biden's strategy of a big-tent party would prove more crucial to winning the elections than campaigns on Twitter or the rest of the social media. Zakaria noted that the Democratic National Convention this year was marked by a "conspicuous display of ethnic, racial and gender diversity." Rightly so, it would seem, because the Democrats would need such ideological diversity to win the White House on 3rd November. Left leaning progressives such as Bernie Sanders and Stacy Abrams, moderates such as Mike Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton, and conservatives such as Cindy McCain and Colin Powell featured among the speakers at the Convention.
Malaysia, as a multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-religious country, has most of the time, if not always, tried to embrace diverse ideas. In spite of isolated extreme views, in general there has been a willingness to embrace diversity, which has helped political parties accommodate differing views. So, has it been in India for most of the time, with the contest of ideas between market and socialist policies as well as secularist and nationalist views. Ghulam Nabi Azad, the current Leader of Opposition in the Upper House of the Indian Parliament, and a member of India's grand old party, the Indian National Congress, has called on the party to be more inclusive and also practice internal party democracy if they want to win power again. In the UK, the Labour party embraced market capitalism with Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. In France, Marine Le Pen, launched a second bid to become President in 2017. While, she just won about 21% in the first round, she was able to gain about 34% of the popular vote in the second round running against the eventual winner President Emmanuel Macron. She has moved away from the nationalist credentials of her father to become more republican, becoming more inclusive and purging from the party members making controversial statements. Big tent politics is inclusive rather than exclusive.
Fareed Zakaria reiterates that in the US, a nation of 330 million people "with wide variations in geography, economic activity, history and culture," it should be obvious that not everyone sees things the same way. Look at India with its 1.3 billion people and tremendous diversity: National parties had to seek regional coalitions to be inclusive and address the huge diversity. It is the same with Indonesia, with its spread-out islands and diverse cultures.
Zakaria says, "For some ideological warriors, to accept this reality is to make sordid compromises. But it is the durable way to actually get things done." Bernie Sanders is articulate, persuasive and convincing but he has had very little legislative success. One cannot but agree with the view that to translate ideas into action, one has to face the political realities of the nation. You can only lead the nation to continued prosperity if you can make changes, and one can only do it with a coalition in today's world.
The commitment towards embracing diversity and forging coalitions cannot only be in name, but in spirit. It has to be based on a consensus approach. A Harvard Study concluded that ideologically diverse teams produce superior performance https://hbr.org/2019/07/are-politically-diverse-teams-more-effective. The study revealed although individual bias fuelled by passion and strong convictions is usually undesirable, it has a different effect when people work in teams. The study concluded, "Collectively, teams with mixtures of bias that are willing to engage and collaborate can yield superior performance."
This finding provides hope in these polarised times. I always remember former US President Obama's reference to "a contest of ideas." The people have to choose. Hopefully, there would be a general acceptance rather than resistance towards accommodating diverse views. I hope with Fareed Zakaria that politics around the world will embrace a kind of "deliberative democracy," which involves working with people holding opposing views, to make policy changes that endure and lead to a harmonious nation. The Big Tent accommodates far more people and views than a narrow tent that stifles people and generates discontent.

HUNTS POINT, Bronx (WABC) -- Police in the Bronx are looking for two men who posed as exterminators when they forced their way into a Hunts Point apartment at gunpoint.
When the victim, a 34-year-old woman, answered the door, police say the suspects pushed their way in and tied her up, along with 3 other occupants of the apartment.
The suspects then searched the apartment asking where the money is. Being there was no money in the apartment, they fled the scene with an iPhone.
Police released surveillance photos of the suspects.
There is no word on any injuries to the four victims.

Strategy and Universal Participation
Mon, 08 Jul 2019	| Ozone Depletion
In chapter 2, I argued that universal negotiations are not rational from the standpoint of effectiveness or efficiency, and it appeared doubtful that they were a strategic choice of the United States, designed to slow or stall the negotiations by adding extra negotiators and issues. The latter of these two possibilities is the stickiest issue. As the climate change issue rose in prominence in the late 1980s, it became clear that the United States did not favor aggressive action to address...
Implications For The Governance Of Ozone Depletion And Climate Change
However, even given its simplicity, it produces complex patterns and demonstrates that stylized norm entrepreneurs can play a role in forging intersubjective agreement and that they contribute to norm evolution as well as emergence. It shows in a general, formal way that norm entrepreneurs can alter the dynamics of a system of interacting agents sometimes catalyzing the emergence and evolution of norms. While not an empirical test of the NLC, the modeling exercises and...
The Evolution of the Normative Context The Breakdown of North Only Participation on the Road to Montreal
The normative context that the United States acted within was relatively stable in 1986-87, though the seeds for the major transition to universal participation were sown. The negotiations that would yield the Montreal Protocol in 1987 transpired with a clear, intersubjective understanding that ozone depletion was a problem that required Northern participation in negotiations and solutions. Southern nations made up less than one-third of the participants at all three of the pre-Montreal...
The Foundations Of The Global Governance Of Climate Change Ihe Initial Normative Context Universal Participation
Before 1988 it would be curious to discuss climate change as existing within a normative political context. To this point, climate change was primarily a scientific issue and scientists were the main protagonists in climate change conferences. As the issue began to attract political attention the normative context stressing universal participation became clear. The seeds of this understanding were evident at conferences in 1988 and in the IPCC process. By 1989, universal participation was well...
INC V Part 1New York February 1992
Fri, 05 Jul 2019	| Ozone Depletion
The monotonous story of the U.S. negotiating behavior and the climate change convention negotiations themselves finally took a different turn at the INC V sessions. Though the United States entered the negotiations with the exact same position advocating flexible mechanisms with no binding targets the United States did pledge 75 million in development assistance during the February INC V session.174 Though this gesture was not grand it signaled some flexibility in the U.S. positions, while it...
The verbal model hypothesizes that a norm entrepreneur suggested a change in appropriate understandings of participation requirements during the ozone depletion negotiations. A norm entrepreneur advocated for universal participation. Further, the verbal model claims that some states add this suggestion to their rule model they change their understanding of what a global response to ozone depletion requires. This adding may occur through varied processes persuasion, socialization, or coercion....
Modeling the Norm Life Cycle
The verbal model developed in the previous chapter is a potential explanation for the transitions in participation requirements in the ozone depletion and climate change cases. It presents a series of conjectures about how a universal participation norm could emerge and evolve in these issues. In this chapter, I assess those conjectures formally through agent-based modeling (ABM) techniques. I pursue formal analysis for two reasons. First, it is crucial to assess the plausibility of the claims...
Compatibility and Synergy
Beyond mere compatibility, integrating the NLC and a CAS perspective provides a full account of norm emergence and evolution. The NLC provides a macroanalytic structure for explaining norm dynamics, and the insights of complexity theory provide a microagentic process to bring the NLC to life. In specifying the connection between actors and norms, complex adaptation facilitates an updating of the NLC and mutual constitution. Moving from agents to structures, CAS provides a model of agent action....
Life Without Norm Entrepreneurs
Tue, 26 Feb 2019	| Ozone Depletion
When norm entrepreneurs are absent from the system, two types of macro patterns emerge in the simulations. Depending upon the noise levels in the system, the simulation exhibits a strict dichotomy between stability and volatility in the system. Figures 4.2 and 4.3 are typical runs without norm entrepreneurs. As the noise in the system increases the simulation switches from stable to volatile. Each figure reports the average predictions (group outcome) made in each round by the agent population...

Universal participation was a normative position internalized before the climate change negotiations began. Positive reinforcement of the universal participation rule after the London Amendment negotiations led to its use in the next global environmental problem to arise there was a stable, low complexity social context as all states understood that the appropriate rule to follow was the universal participation norm.

Most analyses of the ozone negotiations have been critically concerned with cooperation and effectiveness.1 These studies examine the interests, power, and behavior of the major actors (both sovereignty free and sovereignty bound),2 assess the impact of scientific knowledge, and investigate the structure of the negotiations themselves searching for the factor(s) that led to successful cooperation and or effectiveness. In contrast, the main thrust of this book explains the conditions for...

Chapter 1 asserts a norms-based and complex systems explanation for the dynamic nature of global responses in ozone depletion and climate change the transition to universal participation in the ozone depletion issue, the lock-in around universal participation in the initial climate change negotiations, and the contestation over universal participation in the 1990s. Addressing the puzzle of participation and providing an accounting of the governance of ozone depletion and climate change requires...
Earth Summit Rio June 1992
Thu, 01 Dec 2016	| Ozone Depletion
The United States along with most of the UN states came together in Rio in 1992 for the historic United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development (UNCED). A centerpiece of this conference was to be the signing of the FCCC. The United States managed to dictate the terms of the agreement as a condition for observing it, and thus the document sets no specific goals or timetables for reducing carbon dioxide.185 However, neither the binding targets nor the South-North debate ended when...
Universal Participation and the Framework Convention on Climate Change
Tue, 28 Jun 2016	| Ozone Depletion	| 1 comment
Climate change rose quickly on the international agenda in the late 1980s on the heels of the ozone depletion negotiations. Though both problems stem from atmospheric pollution, the complexity of the climate change problem eclipses that of ozone depletion by orders of magnitude. The causes of climate change (or global warming) are ubiquitous in all societies (industrial or otherwise), and virtually all biological, agricultural, and industrial activities contribute to the problem. Similarly, the...

An elegant and simple at the same time, full of baroque palaces and whipped by a salty wind, smelling of Mediterranean and full of lively atmosphere. This is Modica, a beautiful Sicilian town of 55,000 inhabitants in the province of Ragusa, with its historical centre declared World Heritage by UNESCO. Just the coastal part of the city is an irresistible focus of tourism packages, and many visitors come to town to relax on the beach and enjoy some swim in the Mediterranean, basking in the sun before it is worth exploring carefully the heart of the city, the discovery of squares, historic streets, lovely views and sumptuous palaces, or characteristic. All started in the 1693 when a violent earthquake destroyed the city. Modisa as is admired today, is not Modica in its most ancient, but it is mostly a consequence of the remakes of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The Baroque Modica is what makes it valuable. Through alleys packed with beautiful cottages and elegant buildings, like the monumental baroque church of San Giorgio, built after the earthquake by the famous architect Rosario Gagliardi Syracuse.
Ragusa is the richest town in Sicily and between the more prosperous towns of southern Italy. A turning point in his story is set in 1693, when a terrible earthquake almost completely destroyed Ragusa, razing its buildings and houses and claiming thousands of victims. With the gradual revival, which took place in the eighteenth century, the city was divided into two distinct areas: on the one hand, the so-called Ragusa higher to the top of the plateau, and on the other, Ragusa Ibla, built on the ruins of the old city according to the 'old medieval system. Were actually the work of reconstruction to generate a new wealth of monuments, palaces and picturesque, and who have made the beautiful city Dubrovnik it is today. Not surprisingly, in 2002, the beautiful Mediterranean resort has been included in UNESCO World Heritage Site. The old town is a constellation of wonders, full of sumptuous buildings in baroque style. Among the religious buildings that deserve the attention of visitors is the Church of Santa Maria delle Scale, renovated after the earthquake, which keeps inside interesting works by local artists. Do not miss the St. John's Cathedral, built between 1706 and 1760, with a fine Baroque facade and a soaring bell tower that rises above the rooftops of Dubrovnik. Finally, the Basilica of San Giorgio is a jewel in 1775, surmounted by a dome which exceeds 40 feet high and stands on 16 columns. Among the civic buildings we find the most beautiful palace and the Palazzo Cosentini Bertini, both made in the late eighteenth century in perfect Baroque style, while enthusiasts will appreciate the history and culture Ibleo Archaeological Museum, full of ancient artifacts illuminating the troubled past the city. More informal but very striking is the appointment with the Ibla Buskers, which for 14 years brightens up the first week of October with performances by street artists of all kinds: singers, jugglers, magicians, trapeze artists and musicians come together for four Ragusa Ibla days, attracting a large crowd of visitors.
The cultural richness and vibrancy of Ragusa were set in a particular climate, with temperatures cooler than the coast of Sicily, due to higher altitude: Mediterranean climate here takes on the hilly sections, or even higher mountain in the area, where are so rare snowfalls and rains pour abundant especially from October to March. Average temperatures in January, the coldest month, range from a minimum of 8 ° C to a maximum of 14 ° C, while in July and August increased from 23 ° C to 31 ° C.
Scicli is the harmonious synthesis of a mixture of elements (history, urban planning, water and environment) that natural and man have been carefully put together to form one of the most beautiful cities in the world, as defined by Elio Vittorini. Scicli is consistently ranked as one of the jewels of the Baroque place outside the usual tourist routes of South-East along Amodio and Ragusa Ibla. When visiting Scicli here you will find that the squares are lounges and even a single stock can have a dignity of its architecture. Even the sunlight reflecting on the blond stone creates a unique and indescribable. Just 5 km. from the coast and just over 100 meters. sea level, the city, completely rebuilt after the earthquake of 1693, is located in a highly scenic location in the middle of three valleys and is dominated by the church of S. Matthew placed on the hill where once stood the ancient city. Immediately struck by the high number of churches and eighteenth century buildings that make up a substantial wealth of Baroque art that has been declared World Heritage by UNESCO. Particularly fascinating is the Church of San Giovanni Evangelista, restored and opened to the public recently. Scicli not only offers the most diverse examples of the many peoples and their cultures that have passed through these places over the centuries, but also the opportunity to visit and get lost in the fantastic beaches, lapped by the beautiful sea with depths of dreams and almost tropics.

US Renewable Energy Provides 19.35% Of US Electricity In First Quarter
Credit: UCSUSA.org
The US Energy Information Administration this week published figures which showed that renewable energy sources accounted for 19.35% of US electricity in the first quarter, which is well in advance of the Administration's own predictions for renewable energy.
Ken Bossong of the SUN DAY Campaign sent out an email this week highlighting the latest figures from the US Energy Information Administration's (EIA) latest Electric Power Monthly. The new report publishes figures for the quarter just passed and revealed that renewable energy sources accounted for 19.35% of net US electrical generation during the first quarter of this year. Conventional hydropower accounted for 8.67% of all US electricity generation, followed by wind power with 7.10%. Biomass (1.64%), solar (1.47%), and geothermal (0.47%) also did their part.
While this is a relatively impressive figure for a country which we know is struggling to secure a safe transition to a low-carbon economy, Ken Bossong wanted to draw out another point that is worth noting. He quoted the EIA's own 2012 Annual Energy Outlook report, which said:
"Generation from renewable sources grows by 77 percent in the Reference case, raising its share of total generation from 10 percent in 2010 to 15 percent in 2035 … The share of the total electricity generation accounted for by nonhydropower renewable generation increases from about 4 percent in 2010 to 9 percent in 2035."
The obvious outcome we can draw from this is that the EIA is, again, wildly inaccurate in its ability to reliably predict the course of renewable energy development in the United States. According to Bossong, if one assumes growth were to continue along the path that the EIA had predicted back in 2012, renewables would not reach 19.35% of the country's electricity mix until 2057 — forty years from now.
"Not only has renewable energy's share of total domestic electrical generation nearly doubled in the past seven years, it has reached a level of output that EIA — just five years ago — did not anticipate happening for another four decades," explained Ken Bossong, who is Executive Director of the SUN DAY Campaign. "While one might conclude that EIA's methodology is seriously flawed, it is also safe to say that renewables — especially solar and wind — by now providing almost one-fifth of the nation's electrical production, are vastly exceeding expectations and breaking records at an astonishing pace."


A huge thanks to all the funeral home partners and speakers that participated in our biennial funeral education dinner on March 8, 2018. We had the pleasure of having a donor family speaker, Maureen Conlon, share her personal story of how organ and tissue donation had a profound positive and healing impact on her family. We also heard from Nancy Biagioni with San Diego Eye Bank, Scott Barton at UCSD Whole Body, and Rudee Slavik with Dignity Memorial. It is always a pleasure to educate and share our mission with individuals that have the same goals in saving and enhancing lives through organ and tissue donation.

Sunburst mirror has this celestial and radiant style which made it an iconic mirror that graces any wall of the house. Conventionally speaking, sunburst mirrors were made to honor King Louis XIV of France. In history, he is referred as the intense self-style Sun King. He has chosen the "sun" as the iconic emblem because of his great interest of sun as well as its powerful rays.
The emblem was actually a head of Apollo that's surrounded by the rays of light. Perhaps, it's King Louis XIV himself who have popularized sunburst emblem as a fashion icon.
History of Sunburt Mirror
Interestingly enough and possibly, additional proof that King Louis XIV has great contribution to the proliferation of sunburst mirror is that, during the 17th century, coupled with his love for mirrors, he has established the very first mirror and glass factory in Northern Europe at the St. Gobain, France. Aside from that, he also stopped the monopoly in Venetian Republic and has raised the bar by creating clearer and larger mirrors.
Unclear until Today
Lastly, gilded Chateau de Versailles and infamous Hall of Mirrors is where sunburst mirror rose into fashion. At the end of the day, there is no clear evidence of where sunburst mirrors originally came.

3. Socializing Influence Of Ghost Fear
68:3.1 Primitive desires produced the original society, but ghost fear held it together and imparted an extrahuman aspect to its existence. Common fear was physiological in origin: fear of physical pain, unsatisfied hunger, or some earthly calamity; but ghost fear was a new and sublime sort of terror.
68:3.2 Probably the greatest single factor in the evolution of human society was the ghost dream. Although most dreams greatly perturbed the primitive mind, the ghost dream actually terrorized early men, driving these superstitious dreamers into each other's arms in willing and earnest association for mutual protection against the vague and unseen imaginary dangers of the spirit world. The ghost dream was one of the earliest appearing differences between the animal and human types of mind. Animals do not visualize survival after death.
68:3.3 Except for this ghost factor, all society was founded on fundamental needs and basic biologic urges. But ghost fear introduced a new factor in civilization, a fear which reaches out and away from the elemental needs of the individual, and which rises far above even the struggles to maintain the group. The dread of the departed spirits of the dead brought to light a new and amazing form of fear, an appalling and powerful terror, which contributed to whipping the loose social orders of early ages into the more thoroughly disciplined and better controlled primitive groups of ancient times. This senseless superstition, some of which still persists, prepared the minds of men, through superstitious fear of the unreal and the supernatural, for the later discovery of "the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom." The baseless fears of evolution are designed to be supplanted by the awe for Deity inspired by revelation. The early cult of ghost fear became a powerful social bond, and ever since that far-distant day mankind has been striving more or less for the attainment of spirituality.
68:3.4 Hunger and love drove men together; vanity and ghost fear held them together. But these emotions alone, without the influence of peace-promoting revelations, are unable to endure the strain of the suspicions and irritations of human interassociations. Without help from superhuman sources the strain of society breaks down upon reaching certain limits, and these very influences of social mobilization—hunger, love, vanity, and fear—conspire to plunge mankind into war and bloodshed.
68:3.5 The peace tendency of the human race is not a natural endowment; it is derived from the teachings of revealed religion, from the accumulated experience of the progressive races, but more especially from the teachings of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.


A precision plastic part begins with the precision mold. Building the tool takes time and a great deal of accuracy. It can also pay the largest investment in the manufacturing process, so getting it right is critical to the success of a project. If your goal is to manufacture parts with a high degree of precision in large volume, the tooling becomes even more complex.How to Make a Mold for Precision Plastic Parts?
The tool and the molding process are customized based on the type of plastic. Plastics that are amorphous are less free-flowing and tend to shrink less than crystalline or semi-crystalline plastics, which offer better flow, but higher shrinkage. For this reason, many projects call for engineering resins that offer a better melt and less shrinkage. Plastic suppliers provide information on the shrinkage rate of their resins along with temperature and melt flow rate recommendations.
Resin shrinkage impacts the design and machining of the tool cavities. The cavities must accommodate for the amount of shrinkage that can occur. Using modern CAD software, the design engineer will create cavities that are larger than the actual finished part. The size of this allowance is based on the specific properties of the resin. Some of this shrinkage can be addressed by regulating the packing and holding rate in the mold, but all plastic shrinks as it cools, even after the part is ejected from the mold. Worse case, warpage can occur when a part has molded-in stress. This stress can be a result of issues with pressure, temperature, flow rate, gate location or venting.
Precision plastic parts can only be accomplished by meeting exacting standards not only in the cavities, but in the design of the mold components. Gates must be properly placed to allow for proper melt flow and pressure. The appearance of the final part can be improved by positioning the gates in an inconspicuous location on the part. The size of the gate is also an important consideration. The gate must be large enough to provide for proper packing of the material without extending the cycle time. If the gate is too small the packing may be insufficient to fill the cavity (also called a short shot) or the part may display other defects.
An efficient and effective cooling system is the hallmark of a quality plastic injection mold. The mold needs to maintain a consistent temperature to avoid shrinkage and warping while minimizing the cycle times to maximize production output. This delicate balance is achieved with a well-designed cooling system.
The final step in the molding process is releasing or ejecting the parts from the mold. The part geometry, type of resin, and mold finish are all considered when designing the ejector system. The placement of the ejector pins, the type of ejection mechanism and the cycle times need to be calculated with precision to avoid any defects in the part. This is generally accomplished with a series of carefully placed ejector pins, the size and position of which are determined by the shape, size and wall thickness of the part.
Before start up of mass production, the manufacturer would do some sample runs to test the mould performance, it was named mould trial. Avoiding any unnecessary rework. Experienced molders create a sample mold that is used to produce a test run of the part. This step is vital in determining if any adjustments to the mold, the resin selection, or molding parameters such as temperature and flow rate are needed. If there are any quality issues, the project team will work together to determine the cause and re-sample the parts until they meet the customer's and the molder's standards.

J. Bennett et al., "The development and use of an instrument to assess students' attitude to the study of chemistry", INT J SCI E, 23(8), 2001, pp. 833-845
This paper reports on aspects of a three-phase study whose aim was to gather information on undergraduates' responses to the study of science. The emphasis of this paper is on methodological issues arising from considerations of how to measure and analyse data on attitudes. The study draws on the methodology employed in an earlier study undertaken in Canada, the Views on Science-Technology-Society (VOSTS) study, applying the methodology in a newcontext. The first two phases involved the development and validation of an appropriate research instrument. The third phase involved using the instrument with students in the first year of study at a South African University. In additional to the quantitative data gathered, the students' responseson the instrument were used to develop in-depth 'profiles' of particular groups of students. This technique proved particularly effective in identifying areas for possible remedial action.

Every citizen has the opportunity to participate in the elections process by voting. For those who want to participate further, there are several volunteer opportunites available. These include serving as an election official during the voting period, or volunteering as a member of a Multipartisan Assistance Team (MAT).
Election officials operate the polls during early voting and on election day by providing services such as setting up the voting equipment, checking in voters, processing ballots, assisting voters with special needs, and closing down/securing the voting site at the end of the day. To qualify to work as an election official, the applicant must be a registered voter who resides in the precinct where they wish to serve. To apply to work as an official, or to recieve more information, contact your local County Board of Elections office.
In 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law allowing high school students to work in the polls on election day. Student Election Assistants carry some of the same responsibilities as election officials, and are compensated in the same way.
To qualify, the applicant must be a U.S. citizen who will be at least 17 years old by election day and who resides in the precinct where they wish to serve. Applicants must be in good academic standing with the school where they are enrolled (including public, private and home schools). They must also have permission from a parent (or guardian/legal custodian) and from their school principal/director.
Contact your local County Board of Elections office for more information.
To apply, download the application here and mail it to your County Board of Elections office.
Some voters require assistance when voting their mail-in absentee ballot because they are unable to either find witnesses, vote their ballot, or mail in their ballot under their own power. The first preference, according to the law, is for the voter to receive assistance from a near relative or guardian. But some voters, such as those who live in facilities (such as a nursing home), may not have a near relative or guardian available to provide that assistance. Employees of hospitals, clinics, nursing homes or rest homes are prohibited by law from providing assistance with absentee voting. Such voters may face challenges in casting a mail-in absentee ballot.
But here's the good news: In every county, an impartial team called a "Multipartisan Assistance Team" (MAT) is available to visit facilities in order to provide assistance with mail-in absentee voting. The MAT is comprised of, at minimum, two voters who are affiliated with different political parties (or of persons unanimously appointed by the bipartisan County Board of Elections).
More information about the MAT program can be found on the Multipartisan Assistance Team page. To be considered as a Team Member for a MAT, please contact your local County Board of Elections office.

Suomenlinna Sea Fortress & Vallisaari (& Lonna)
Routes operated by JT-Line's waterbuses in October 2020:
Helsinki Market Square (Lyypekinlaituri) > Vallisaari > Helsinki Market Square (Lyypekinlaituri), operated on weekend 10th and 11th October
Helsinki Market Square (Lyypekinlaituri) > Suomenlinna (Artillery Bay) > Helsinki Market Square (Lyypekinlaituri), operated from Tuesday to Saturday from 6th to 31st October
Suomenlinna is a maritime fortress located very close to Helsinki. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Finland's most popular tourist attractions. Suomenlinna is also one of the districts of the City of Helsinki and home to 800 year-round residents.
The history of the Suomenlinna fortress is closely tied to the history of Finland and the Baltic Sea. The fortress was built in the mid-18th century to serve as a cornerstone of the eastern defences of the Kingdom of Sweden, to which Finland then belonged. The fortress was taken by Russia at the beginning of the 19th century. Under Russian rule it guarded the shipping lanes leading to St Petersburg together with naval bases in Tallinn and Kronstadt. In 1917, Finland became independent and took over the maritime fortress the following year. Suomenlinna offers something to see and experience for visitors of all ages: rich and varied nature, fortifications, artillery, tunnels, museums and many cafés and restaurants.
The waterbus service by JT-Line operates between the Lyypekinlaituri stop by the Market Square and Artillery Bay in Suomenlinna from 6th to 31st October 2020 (operated only from Tuesday to Saturday, no operation on Mondays and Sundays).
More information on Suomenlinna can be found on the website:

Vallisaari & Kuninkaansaari
Vallisaari island and the neighbouring Kuninkaansaari island have been open to the public since May 2016, after having been released from military use. The islands are managed by Metsähallitus, which is responsible for developing operations on the islands while also protecting their natural and cultural values. The islands are situated right next to Suomenlinna. Only the narrow Kustaanmiekka sound separates Vallisaari from Suomenlinna, whereas Kuninkaansaari and Vallisaari are connected by a narrow causeway.
Nature meets history in a unique way on Vallisaari and Kuninkaansaari. In proportion to their surface area, the islands possess the richest biodiversity in Helsinki. What is more, the famous Alexander battery, casemate batteries and garrison buildings that were built during the period of Russian rule all have interesting stories to tell about the history of the area.
The waterbus service by JT-Line operates between Helsinki Market Square and Vallisaari on weekend 10th and 11th October.
More information on Vallisaari and Kuninkaansaari can be found on the website both in Finnish and English:
www.vallisaari.fi
Even more information on Vallisaari and Kuninkaansaari can be found on the websites (unfortunately only in Finnish):
www.luontoon.fi/vallisaari
www.metsa.fi/vallisaari.
Lonna is a small island situated between the Market Square and Suomenlinna that was opened to the public in summer 2014. The island has been the site of a sea mine depot and later a demagnetisation base, among other things. The demagnetisation base was in use from the Continuation War right up to the 1960s, as there were a lot of sea mines in Finnish territorial waters which were set off by the magnetic fields in ships' hulls. The demagnetisation station's equipment reduced these magnetic fields. Today Lonna has a cosy restaurant and café. The old demagnetisation equipment is on display for visitors in an exhibition area in the restaurant.
Lonna island is closed for summer season 2020.

Battle Meat Pie: England vs. Australia Grudge Match!
by Deborah Hyland
England vs. Australia may sound like a cricket match, but it's merely the latest Fight Club Sandwich installment: battle meat pie.
The two nations may share one language and a similar gene pool, but culturally they're as far apart as they are geographically. One is planning a royal wedding; the other is home to spiders the size of your hand. Both are islands, but one is nearly 60 times the size of the other. OK, technically England isn't an island; Great Britain is. Still, Australia is really freaking big; England, not so much.
The Contenders In the red corner we have the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie from Queen's Cuisine (qconline.us; 618-205-6188), available online or at local farmers' markets.
Tasting a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie requires a bit of planning. They must be ordered by phone or via the Queen's Cuisine website, then delivered or picked up at a local farmers' market such as Tower Grove or Maplewood.
courtesy Queen's Cuisine
The Melton Mowbray pork pie from Queen's Cuisine will have you dancing to a different meat.
This pie is dense and hefty enough to make a light lunch. The outer crust, with its soft flakiness, covers a shape the size of two stacked hockey pucks and has a crimped top. Inside, the meat is finely chopped and densely packed, a bit like a very firm pâté. A plastic fork won't make a dent in this pie, which, if you're a glass-half-full kind of person, means it'd make for great bag lunches.
Traditionally the meat filling contains a gelatin layer, but Jane Muscroft of Queen's Cuisine offers a plain version, friendlier to American palates wary of unflavored gelatin (and/or American sensibilities that get all Wayne's World whenever the topic of aspic arises). Carnivores should fear not the animal hoof: If you eat marshmallows, you're eating gelatin anyway. The gelatin version of the pie softens some of the density of the meat and defends against dryness.
The pie tastes best at room temperature with several dollops of chutney or ketchup. At $7.50 a pop, plus the cost of the condiments, they're not exactly cheap, but the amount of labor involved in producing each pie, from chopping the meat to hand-forming the pastry, is significant.
In the blue corner, we have the Australian Meat Pies from south city's Silver Ballroom (4701 Morgan Ford Road; 314-832-9223): Mere minutes after you place your order, the Australian meat pies arrive at your table hot and steaming, in a paper basket. Each day the kitchen serves up four varieties: pork, beef, vegetarian and a seasonal surprise.
Deborah Hyland
A Silver Ballroom meat pie, fresh from the kitchen.
In the past, the seasonal surprise has featured a chili-mac filling, and there are rumors of an andouille/red-beans-and-rice version for Mardi Gras. The pork pie contains stew meat-size hunks of pork, while the beef-and-cheese contains ground meat. Both pies came with plenty of juicy gravy, with the pork version tasting quite peppery. (Yes, we did mention there's a vegetarian pie. And no, we aren't evaluating it in this space. What part of "Battle Meat Pie" do you not understand?)
The top piecrust is reminiscent of puff pastry, while the bottom is far more substantial, thus managing to avoid sogginess -- crucial when you're talking this much gravy. The bottom crust is so substantial, in fact, that the pie holds its shape without a pan.
At $5 apiece, the pies make a great bar snack, but it would be easy to put away two or even three of them in a (hungry) sitting.
The Verdict It's a draw. Both piemakers produce tasty products. But, much like their heritage, these meat pies couldn't be more different. With the Melton Mowbray, you can sip tea at the farmers' market and spend $5 for a dozen eggs. With the Australian pies, you can have a smoke and a beer and drop a few coins into the Playboy pinball game.
Which you prefer depends on you -- or your mood.

'Outlandish' and 'impossible' are no longer words to chide transfer rumors with, but instead ones to attach to those deals that saw through to fruition quite easily.
The defining example of this trend was the £200 million that PSG paid to break a world-record and bring Neymar from Barcelona to the French capital last summer.
In the process, the Qatari-backed side ensured that numerous other prices were hiked, and now, one is faced with the possibility of a transfer window where no price is too high, and where release clauses amount to the same as the budgets of certain corporations.
Despite the high-profile nature of the move and the splendid performance-based success that the Brazilian has tasted at PSG, it would appear that he might be on the move yet again, for another figure that will raise eyebrows.
As per Don Balon, Manchester United are eager to splash as much as £347 million in order to land the 26-year-old.
This is maddening, considering that Real Madrid is also a name that has been widely linked with the former Barcelona star, and yet, it is almost a given that the offer from Manchester is financially more superior.
To add to the incentive is the fact that the Premier League is arguably the finest stage to play at, and will certainly be a humongous step up from easily scoring goals against French teams.
The source does add that Neymar likes the prospect of becoming a Red Devil, and that Jose Mourinho is keen on ensuring that the deal goes through.
However, all of this will have to be taken with a pinch, or perhaps even a tumbler of salt, as Don Balon is infamous for making ridiculous claims. Then again, the nature of the windows is such that mathematically, anything short of a coup is very possible.


It's so far, so good for Norway's Casper Rudd, who is trying to win at the same site of his father's victory in a 1996 tournament.
The carnage at River Oaks Country Club isn't complete, but it's getting dire for the "home" team. Not yet two full rounds into the Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship singles competition, there are almost no U.S. men left standing.
Out of the 11 who occupied spots in the 28-man main draw at the outset of the tournament, only two remain - and just Sam Querrey has actually won a match. Top-seeded Steve Johnson, the twice defending champion, doesn't go on the court until Thursday night.
There are as many Colombians still in the hunt as Americans and one of them, Daniel Elahi Galan, will be taking aim at Johnson, who's trying to become the first player of any nationality to win this venerable tournament three years running since Bobby Riggs in the late 1930s.
The latest Yank to get yanked would be the tallest one, fourth seed Reilly Opelka, who started well Wednesday night but couldn't hang on against Norway's best player, Casper Ruud, in a battle between two promising young guns. Ruud, 20, gamely rallied to a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory over the nearly 7-foot-tall Opelka, 21. Earlier in the day, Opelka's countryman Ryan Harrison had gotten bounced out by Switzerland's Henri Laaksonen 6-4, 7-5.
"It's extra tough on your own serve because you think you can't get broken," Ruud said of staring across the net at Opelka's imposing presence. "He has the big serve so when you're down love-30 on your own serve it's easy to start rushing a little. That's something I took care of well today. I got broken once with a sloppy game, but it happens.
Or let Opelka self-destruct, which he pretty much did late. In three visits to Houston now, he's still looking for his first win.
The match ultimately turned on Ruud's break in the seventh game of the third set, which came courtesy of Opelka's errant forehand volley, followed by another off the backhand that slapped into the net. Ruud, seeking to dramatically improve on his current career-high ranking of 95, lost just a single point on his final two service games.
"He can defend, rip some defensive shots back," Ruud said of Opelka, who broke through with his own first ATP World Tour triumph in the New York Open in February and had beaten the Norwegian in the Australian Open qualifying 7-6 (2), 6-3. "It's always a tough match against him. I'm really happy to have gotten through.
It is, unless Johnson can recapture his recent Houston magic. Second-seeded Jeremy Chardy also lost Wednesday and none of the three other remaining seeds besides Johnson - No. 3 Cameron Norie, No. 7 Jordan Thompson and the No. 8 Querrey - has won here, although Querrey did twice reach the final. The 23-year-old Norie, from Great Britain, is making his Houston debut in Thursday's first match against Janko Tipsarevic, which starts at noon.
The 32-year-old Spaniard Marcel Granollers is another former champion, but that title was seized 11 Aprils ago.
Ruud is trying to channel his father, Christian, who, in 1996, won the River Oaks Invitational exhibition tournament on the same court on which his son vanquished Opelka.
