The Geochemistry And Mineralogy Of Recent Sediments Of The Niger Delta
Biodun Elijah Olorunfemi
A study of the mineralogical and chemical composition of recent sediments of the Niger delta, Nigeria was undertaken to provide baseline geochemical data and to relate these data to soil fertility, erosion and engineering problems. The mineralogical composition shows that three areas are distinguished: (1) a large kaolinite-quartz zone; (2) restricted kaolinite-beidellite zone; and (3) a highly restricted metastable smectite zone mainly montmorillonite and nontronite. The mineralogy is interpreted as functions of stability, groundwater flow rates, permeability and sea water incursion. Type 1 occupies the dynamic central part of the delta where permeability exceeds 1 Darcy, with rainfall averaging 6.8 m yr('-1) and little seawater influence. Gibbsite and goethite are also present.;The kaolinite-beidellite type occur near to the stable eastern part of the Niger delta. The permeability is about 0.1 Darcy, seawater influence is high while weathering of young volcanics of unknown composition to the north-east contributes to the smectite composition. The third type occurs along the coastal areas and close to the rivers in the southwest. They are interpreted as metastable phases in the reactions between silica and kaolinite.;Chemical composition of the sediments suggests extreme leaching of cations. Silica and alumina are the major residual chemical components. Detectable cations occur mainly in the smectite-rich sediments in the eastern part of the delta. Trace element chemistry show less depletion. However the heavy mineral analyses show that most of the detectable elements reside in the most insoluble heavy minerals. Statistical treatments employing R-mode factor analysis and Q-mode clustering confirmed this general depletion, and concentration of trace elements within the heavy mineral fraction. It also identifies phosphate-rich sediments in the eastern delta.;Chemical composition of the groundwaters show that the carbonate and chloride type waters dominate in the Niger delta. Salt-water effect on the chemical composition of the waters is evident in the same south-west and eastern part of the delta where the clay mineralogy is also influenced.;Textural and physical characteristics show that rapid loss of interparticle cohesion occurs in the delta soils upon saturation. This piping effect is interpreted as the main source of erosional and engineering problems in the delta. The potential for lime stabilization based on compaction characteristics is marginal. . . .

My guide
A locals guide to the Freetown Christiania.
My name is Morten Barsø.
I was born and raised in Christiania and lived there the first 18 years of my life. My mother still lives in Christiania. Eventhough I moved out of Christiania I am still a part of the big family counting over 700 adult residents and many children.
The top 5 things you must see in Christiania.
The houses of Christiania.
www.christianiaguide.com/need-to-know
Many of the houses in Freetown Chrsitania are old military buildings that many different residents have renovated over the years, some of the houses are build from skratch. In 1971 when the first people squatted Christiania the buildings were in dire condition many of houses lacked floors, windows, roofs and so on.
Around the area a lot of houses did not have running water or suege for the WC. All this and much more Christiania renovated through the years, and what you "invest" in your home go to the next resident of that home. This means you can not sell or buy your house in Freetown Christiania.
Many Christianits have build there dream home and they are totaly free of normal architecture rules and thinking, this lead to all the beautiful buildings like the Banana house seen of the picture.
Alis Wonderland.
www.alis.dk
This is a photo from Alis wonderland 20 years anniversery,
When I was a child in 1998, Alis made a small u ramp in christiania, I still remember help building the ramp and making my first slams on that. Many of the children and people on Christiania help build the ramp. Later it moved to the location it is today. Alis is a part of a bigger community that go to other countries and build ramps for the people to spread happiness and hopefully give some a way out of hopelessness
Alis Wonderland are now powered by solar panels on the roof that a guy called Albert from Christiania help set up. Now the panels power both the ramp and some of christiania.
The Alis store are located next to Alis Wonderland and feel free to come and say hi, borrow a skateboard and go skate.
This video is from vice that shows the celebration of the 20 years anniversary.

The Green Recycling Hall.
Den grønne hal.
www.gronnehal.dk
We are much more than a construction market. We have both new and recycled, many sustainable goods, a large selection of hardware and hobby items, garden items and much more.
The Green Recycling Hall is a different construction market in the center of Christiania. We have both new and used building materials, many sustainable goods, a large selection of hardware and hobby items, garden items and much more.
But also many other goods. With us you can e.g. have plates and glass cut to your desired dimensions and needs, and have copies of your keys made.
In the Green Recycling Hall, we also offer rental of various work tools, and our 1500 m2 store contains a sea of departments.
The free town of Christiania is a car-free city - park your car on Refshalevej or Bådsmandsstræde, and borrow a tow truck, or hear from us about the possibilities for delivery.
The Grey Hall.
Den grå hal.
www.dengraahal.dk
The grey hall was created in 1891 to be the military´s riding course for practice and exercice. The whole building can be moved to a different location but have allways been in Freetown Christiania since 1971.
Today we host our "Juleløses Jul" This is a big christmas dinner for people without anywhere else to go, many hundres of people gather here each christmas eve to have a good time or say hi to old friends.
Notable concerts include:
Metallica, Bob Dylan, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sonic Youth, Patti Smith, Portishead, Motörhead, The Prodigy, Sunn O))), Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Keane, Smashing Pumpkins, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mac DeMarco, Sleep, Beach House and many more.
Pusher Street.
This is a photograph of Pusher street in the night time.
Photo by Jroy P´Dang
Pusher street is the only street where cannabis trade are tolerated in Christiania.
Under the "Say no to hard drugs" campaign in 1979 Christiania gave an ultimatum to the users and sellers that they either should seek treatment or they would get kicked out.
The residents tried to help by offering downsizing, housing, but little helped. The Christianits quickly realized that something drastic had to happen. A joint meeting was held in the Gray Hall with over 2,000 listeners, and a few days later the "Say no to hard drugs campaign" started.
To get hold of the junk, the strategy was to sever the connection between the pusher and the addict. The problem was just that merchants are users and users are merchants. Therefore, both the pusher and the user had to leave Christiania.
Almost everyone say yes to go to treatment with the help of the fellow community and some still live in christiania to this day.
Christiania 50 years birthday.
Due to covid we moved our birthday to May.
Look forward to the spring of 2022.
Where the Freetown Festival opens its doors up to 3 days of music and culture. It will be adventurous with candles, fabulous animals and Danish and foreign music names!
On two big stages and secret scenes in the forest area, we will jump out in the spring in the best Christiania style. Early bird until January 1, 2022.
The specific program is announced on an ongoing basis. Many of the former artists have space in their 2022 calendar.
See you on May 19, 20, and 21, 2022 in the city. Support and order your ticket at

Q: PERL CGI::Ajax Passing Database Recordset in Array Note: Those who would down vote(as question uses PERL CGI tags), go on, but please give me some hint or answer.
Hi,
On testing basis, I am making a webpage using Perl CGI::Ajax.
It has following code
<input id="q" type="text" size="15" name="query" value="" />

<input type="submit" value="Find" onclick="exported_func( ['q'], ['content'] );">

So when user enters some value in textbox and clicks, a perl ajax function goes in Ms-access   database and returns record similar to query text.
After trying numerous attempts, I want to ask:
 1. How do I print database record directly to content div.
 2. If not, how can I collect database records in array and print them in content.
my $cgi = new CGI;
my $pjx = new CGI::Ajax( 'exported_func' => \&perl_func );
print $pjx->build_html( $cgi, \&Show_HTML);

sub perl_func
{
#my $input = shift; # doing database action thereafter
my @vararray = qw(abcd); # how do I store query returned database records
push @vararray,'s'; # this is demo code for testing array method, which failed.
return @vararray;
#my table = document.getElementById("content"); # is this kind of thing possible
#table.innerText = "Hello";
}

Above is my trial code, for array method, but it failed with push. Using above code, content div displayed only abcd but no s.

A: onclick="exported_func( ['q'], ['content'] ); only specifies a single output div, so the first value ("abcd") returned from your Perl code is placed in that div and any additional values ("s") are discarded.  If you want to display multiple returned values, you basically have 3 options:
1) Specify multiple output divs.  e.g., onclick="exported_func( ['q'], ['content1', 'content2', 'content3'] );  Note that this option, while the simplest, will still lose data if more values are returned than you have output divs, so it's probably best to only use it if your Perl will be returning a fixed number of data values.
2) Write a javascript function which receives all returned values and puts them in their proper places on the page, possibly combining/formatting them first.  e.g., onclick="exported_func( ['q'], [js_display_function] ); and, elsewhere in the page, function js_display_function() { ... }
3) Combine all of your returned values into a single string of HTML in the Perl code before returning it.  e.g., return '
' . join("\n", map { "
$_
" } @vararray) . '
';

The world has lost a religious leader who was revered across people of all faiths and none. I don't exist? He was an inspiration, yes, the message that one day, you too could father 300 children a man of extraordinary blind faith, dignity and courage. Even the courage to tell homosexuals they were evil – standing up to that massive majority.
Throughout a hard and often difficult life as opposed to everyone else, he stood for social justice (unless you're gay, want an abortion or have HIV \ AIDs) and on the side of the oppressed apart from the choir boys, whether as a young man facing the Nazi occupation in Poland or later in challenging the communist regime. Both of which he single handedly defeated, and never claiming any of the vacated power for himself. He never wavered, metaphorically speaking, never flinched, never admitted he was wrong, in the struggle for what he thought was good and right.
Yet whatever his own hardship and experience of what was wrong in human nature (those bloody gays again), he never lost faith in the human spirit and its ultimate capacity to do good. Unless you're handing out contraception – that's a wicked act – for which you will burn in hell for all eternity.
I don't really pay any attention to the pope. The first time I heard he died was the day after, when someone told a story about a pope who took office (or however you say it for a pope), went out to a garden, and died. Fun, right?
I don't really care about the popes death either, but what was good was the day before he died the mirrors front page was covered with Michael Douglas's "face job" and featured the dying man in the corner.
seemed he did some good things for the church and society however he was also homophobic and against euthanasia and abortion therefore i am not really bothered about his death as my own views differ greatly from many things he was trying to achieve.
I didnt realise the pope was homophobic. How could he not love the whole of mankind notwithstanding. I find it strange that a man of such intellectual capacity could be so inflexible on subjects such as contraception, abortion and gay rights. That cannot be right. We are all Gods people he has made us, no one human being can deny the work of God. Pope or no Pope.

Kensington Gardens were originally attached to Nottingham House, which was bought in 1689 by William III and turned into Kensington Palace. Queen Mary took a great interest in the gardens and had them landscaped by royal gardeners in formal Dutch patterns. Uprooted by order of Queen Anne at the beginning of the 18th century, the Dutch gardens were replaced in 1726 by this Wise and Bridgeman design, including the round pond, the Broad Walk and the Temple Lodge.

Insurance Plan of London West Vol. A: sheet 16
1 : 480 This detailed 1891 plan of London is one of a series of fourteen sheets in an atlas originally produced to aid insurance companies in assessing fire risks. The building footprints, their use (commercial, residential, educational, etc.), the number of floors and the height of the building, as well as construction materials (and thus risk of burning) and special fire hazards (chemicals, kilns, ovens) were documented in order to estimate premiums. Names of individual businesses, property lines, and addresses were also often recorded. Together these maps provide a rich historical shapshot of the commercial activity and urban landscape of towns and cities at the time. The British Library holds a comprehensive collection of fire insurance plans produced by the London-based firm Charles E. Goad Ltd. dating back to 1885. These plans were made for most important towns and cities of the British Isles at the scales of 1:480 (1 inch to 40 feet), as well as many foreign towns at 1:600 (1 inch to 50 feet).

Kensington Gore Sheet 7
Among the residents of Kensington Gore was the philanthropist and parliamentarian William Wilberforce, whose name is associated with the campaign for the abolition of the slave trade. Gore House, wherehe lived between 1808 and 1821, is depicted in plan form on the south side of Kensington Gore. Built in the 1750s, the house was decorated by the architect Robert Adams. It was the most easterly of a row of mansions built in the 18th century between Palace Gate and Knightsbridge. Salway, Joseph

Kensington High Street showing the Charity School
During the 18th century, a number of private schools opened in the many large houses available in Kensington. St Mary Abbott School, or Charity School, is depicted hereon the north side of the road. The school was built by John Vanbrugh in 1711-12,after Roger Pimble left two houses in High Street Kensington "for the maintenance of a free school for poor men's children" in 1645. Over the years, other benefactors left legacies and gifts to the Charity School. Salway, Joseph

In this drawing Salaway makes a detailed study of all the features of the road under the management of the Kensington Turnpike Trust. Ditches draining the road are faithfully recorded and lamp posts are individually numbered and represented three-dimensionally complete with shadow. Open fields, depicted on both sides of the road, tell of Kensington's past as a prosperous rural parish. Salway, Joseph
Description: The title of this plan of Kensington Palace and gardens appears in English and French, with scale bars and a key to architectural and natural features, in a panel below the plan. Kensington Gardens were originally attached to Nottingham House, which was bought in 1689 by William III and turned into Kensington Palace. Queen Mary took a great interest in the gardens and had them landscaped by royal gardeners in formal Dutch patterns. Uprooted by order of Queen Anne at the beginning of the 18th century, the Dutch gardens were replaced in 1726 by this Wise and Bridgeman design, including the round pond, the Broad Walk and the Temple Lodge.

Popular Chinese-made mobile browser UCWeb has beefed up its offerings for developers, launching an open platform which is now publicly available after having been in a testing stage for almost two months.
Developers have already been building for the UC WebApp Center, which has been available since September 2011. However, its UC+ Open Platform packages various elements together: it is made up of three separate parts focusing on HTML5 Web apps, plugins and application bookmarks.
The open platform supports plugin development by enabling bi-directional communication between UC Browser and Android's system services, which allows the browser and add-on to share data. Users can then browse for plugins available on UC Browser's plugin panel and add them to get a more personalized Internet browsing experience.
UCWeb says it had invited software developer QVOD to create a player plugin, which was introduced on UC Browser v9.1 as a pilot, and saw 300,000 downloads within a month of the launch.
The company says that the first browser loaded with plugins developed under its latest open platform framework will be publicly available "in days", when the Chinese version of UC Browser for Android V9.2 is released, while the English version is expected to come "in weeks".
The open platform also supports a feature called UC Application Bookmark, which allows partner websites to put up a QR code on UC Browser for users to scan the code and add the website to its bookmarks.
UCWeb notes that UC WebApp Center currently has 47 million monthly active users, more than 1,500 apps in 20 categories available, with total downloads exceeding 180 million – which would likely appeal to developers seeking a wide reach. Buoyed by strong adoption in India, UCWeb passed a new milestone of 400 million global users late last year.

Hand of Revan
There was silence on board the Mantis. Silence wasn't unusual but the increasingly stagnant air and the tension in it were. The crew had experienced prolonged periods of time where they were held up on board before. This time was a little different.
Four separate warring factions just engaged one another on Corellia. None of the Mantis' crew saw that coming. They certainly didn't see the assault's sudden introduction of Revan as a major player on the galactic scene, let alone his assault on one of the most heavily fortified planets; and fortified by three different factions at that.
But Erikson didn't have time to worry about those details. He could feel something pulling on his Force sensitive abilities. Whatever it was beckoning him was familiar and coming closer.
The tension was cut a little by Gault. "Close personal friends of yours huh?"
Gault wasn't meaning to be insensitive, but always maintained a sarcastic tone. None within ear shot minded as Gault had done more than enough to prove the quality of his character to them over the years. In fact Gault was the In-A-Bind-Partner who would come in handy in the most perfect of imperfect situations.
Erikson shifted in his seat. "I suppose you could say that." He shifted again; this time trying to shake that nagging feeling. "We should be prepared to engage anything when we come out of hyperspace. Consider our dropping out to be a guaranteed ambush."
Torain turned to Erikson. "How do you figure?"
"It's just a feeling I have. Something about my feelings tells me that we are being followed and no matter where we go, when we drop out of hyperspace we'll be ambushed." Erikson clicked a button on his console. "Blizz, prepare Mark twenty-one. I think it's time to test that out."
Excitedly Blizz responded. "Utinniiiii! Metta oobato metree bacco!"
Looking down on the console Erikson read that their hyperspace cords would empty them out in a little under a standard hour. "Blizz and I have been working on a modified version of the already modified EMP. It's saved our lives numerous times. However, since Revanite ships were at the Yavin ambush I think it smart to change tactics. It's better to not utilize the same tactics repeatedly."
Having that said put a little bit of a startle into the crew. Erikson continued, "I don't think those were the same Revanite ships on Corellia as ambushed us in part at Yavin. I could be wrong, but the Mantis is not a slow vessel. Granted though, I don't know what hardware is in Revan's equipment. Regardless, when we fall out of hyperspace we won't have much time. Revan will likely attempt to shoot us down. At least that's my gut feeling."
"Maybe gwanna make fur da best fight ever," Skadge stated proudly thumping his chest!
At that statement Mako reached for her beau's hand to hold. She loved him and knew that he loved her equally as much in return. They were equally perfect in history, desire, and necessity for one another. They both knew it as much as the rest of the crew knew. Erikson and Mako were half the team just because of what they could do. But that never stopped Erikson from showing mercy and giving recognition and praise where it was do for the rest of the crew.
Skadge was nearly the equivllent in combat to Erikson, just reckless and less reasonable. Torian absolutely carried the heart of the Mandalorian and was an excellent weapons technician. Blizz of course was a technological genius and loyal friend grateful for the kindness and mercy Erikson had shown him on Hoth where he joined Erikson's crew. Unlike Mako, the four of them, Gault included, owed something special to Erikson; their lives.
He could have terminated them all in accordance to self defense protocols but didn't. Well, for Blizz he outright saved his life from Imperials, junkers, and other hunters; and according to Blizz, also from other Jawas.
The crew owed a heavy debt to Erikson's mercy. He kept them alive even from themselves. Now he was going to keep them alive from himself, from his past. And to do that required some last minute preparations
Mako, Gault, and Skadge remained in the cockpit going over instruments and gauges. Erikson went below deck with Torian to talk to Blizz. They rerouted power to shields and their new EMMP. Erikson wanted to ensure they were able to get clear of these stalkers. With the EMMP they could take down any ray based shielding that blocked even the most powerful aftermarket EMP blasts. That would give them the go ahead to fire off the primary EMP.
Even 2V had a position of importance in times like these. 2V was connected directly into the ships secondary computer systems. Micro-bots were the minions of 2V. They would be utilized to repair hull damage, external weaponry, and general maintenance while 2V also communicated with the ships main computer system.
Whatever Erikson expected was something bad. Time was draining fast. He had one last task to perform before their jump was complete; back to the cockpit.
Resuming his seat in the cockpit Erikson glanced over the controls to see he had just a few minutes left. He turned to his three crew members by his side. "Revan's forces have likely sensed my presence. I can only guess they've followed us because of that. Students of Revan are not like Jedi or Sith apprentices. They are taught to focus their energies differently. The difference is to be subtle and calm in ways that allow them to move through and use the Force without disturbing it on the surface or beneath. As grandiose as the Jedi make them out to be they don't even do this perfectly since they rely upon the Force so heavily to enhance everything they do. They leave ripples, just deep enough not to notice on the surface. It likely sounds complex but it's all about moving with the current of the Force to conceal and empower your blows and blocks."
Skadge listened intensely to this. If it was about advantage he wanted to know.
Erikson continued, "It's why the Jedi couldn't sense me previously. I know Sith have trouble with that too. But there is more. Students of Revan can channel more than just rage to empower them. They channel all emotions unlike the Sith with their rage and the Jedi without. And with that ability I can suppress Jedi and Sith alike. So can Revanites. But I've never fought another Revanite before. And that's why we've been manufacturing that serum we used on Coruscant."
With time ending, each turned back towards their stations. They understood more and were ready. Remembering the ambush by Captain Duma a few weeks ago they all braced for a sudden and jarring slow down. Then the stars began to reshape and blackness encompassed the vast nothingness of space again.
Shields went up. Missiles were auto loaded and their cooling systems were overridden. Power was redirected from the main turbo laser cannons and the EMMP was charging with the EMP in queue. Just as suspected multiple ships exited hyperspace right behind the Mantis as it was maneuvering to face the Revanites in attack position.
With a deep breath, Erikson waited the long moment for all thirty-seven vessels to exist hyperspace. Then the first EMMP was set loose. The smaller ships were pushed and shifted. All ships went dark for several seconds. Before more than a few seconds could pass the primary EMP was discharged.
Revanite ships began drifting towards the strongest gravitational force; a large asteroid that appeared beneath them from their points of view. The Mantis was being hailed again and received a new message. Erikson wasn't going to stick around to find out what it said when he could listen to it in peace later.
The Mantis made another jump into hyperspace. And then another. They bounced about a bit making multiple jumps and shifting directions for several hours in between other lesser used hyperspace lanes and made a few dangerous new paths.
For the better part of a standard day they did this. After a few hours of Erikson feeling completely free of the Revan's pull he relaxed; but he maintained his strategy. Eventually they ended up closer to the Hoth system. That turned out to be a bit of luck.
2V just came jumping and clattering into the Cockpit. "Sir! Sir! I've decoded another portion of the CZERKA Corporation data. You need to see this!" Checking over his console, the next exit from hyperspace would be twenty minutes from now. Whatever 2V had to say would make the time go by faster.
"Sir, it appears that the mentioning of similar CZERKA facilities on Hoth by Blizz may help us acquire new clues to this mystery. Hoth was among the first planets discovered pre-Republic founding. In fact it also seems to be among the first planets terraformed before Humans made contact with too many other species. Also, pre-CZERKA entities established various research facilities throughout the Hoth system on multiple planets and asteroids. The Hoth system looked very different twelve thousand years ago when compared to today's nav-charts. There were nearly thirty different plaents in the Hoth system them. Also, the Hoth planets have a unique mineral inside of them. CZERKA documents reveal that this mineral was crucial in development of CZERKA equipment before they learned to fabricate cheaper alternatives. I propose that we visit the Hoth system to follow up on Blizz's aforementioned lead." 2V stood there affecting a proud stance as best his metallic body would allow.
Erikson sat back in his chair for a moment. The crew knew he was thinking. He would often purse his lips when he was really thinking hard; and this occasion meant he knew something else. "2V, go back to decoding those documents and let me know if you come across a planet or system named 'Miranda.'"
2V affected a very pleased-with-himself stance. "Absolutely, sir! I'm glad to be of service."
Erikson turned around remembered to play Revan's message finally. He pressed a button on his console to open the message channel, then another to play it.
"Apprentice Autarchic, you may well run for a long time but you will not escape me forever. I know you are going to the Hoth system. I will not follow you there. We will meet. I have foreseen it already. What you seek I already know. The Jedi have forgotten this and the Sith desire it dearly. It is not for their minds to recall. It is our destiny to maintain this order. If the Sith obtain this information then the galaxy, is lost. If the Jedi remember this information then they will become more powerful. That is the reason we have returned. Do not intervene or you will be considered against us, apprentice."
The message ended with a strong emphasis on 'apprentice.'
The Mantis fell out of hyperspace and on the edge of Hoth space. They could hold up in a neutral outer rim station for at least a day or two. Here they could get some rest and 2V would have more time to work.

First of all I would like to thank those of you that have left me comments on FB and on here as well during the recent loss of my father. As sad as I am I am relieved that he no longer suffers from the devastating disease of dementia. Such a terrible condition to those affected and loved ones. I think of him daily and have many fond memories of him. I love you Dad ♥.
I have not blogged in quite some time but since returning from out west I have been so busy. Craft show season is upon me and I am going to be teaching another class at my local library in December. I forgot to take a picture of what we will be doing but it is going to be a lot of fun. A mixed media canvas, a paper tree with layers of different Christmas paper, Stickles glitter glue, stencilling, paint and a whole lot of fun.
I found this tutorial on Pinterest and if I get a chance to get a picture of what I did I will post it but it has been taken to the library as a sample. There are 4 people signed up already even without seeing what I did.
The stocking was a huge hit with the girls I think they are waiting for more fun, at least I hope so. Woohoo, I find instructing a lot of fun and very rewarding. So nice to see others faces after they completed the project. Simple painting with a little how to and before you know masterpieces are complete.
I recently had a craft show and I did quite well. I have 2 more and they are keeping me busy. Gourds are a hit again this year and some signs, ornaments and canvases as well. I was shocked at the lovely comments, peeps asking if I had a store, no I don't and don't intend on it but peeps were willing to take my little cards and many wanted to know if I could paint things for them in the future. Anyways a good show and my next one is this Friday and Saturday. I have done this show 2 years already and always a good crowd and well advertised.
Just checking in and letting you know I am still around. I hope to be able to post a pic or two in the next few days of a few things I just finished up.
Take care and always love to hear from you.
Nice to see your blog and know things are going well. I know how busy you are and am delighted it's going so well.
We will have to do a swap again, after the holiday rush. Fun to do in the dead months of winter.
Stay busy,it's good for the soul.


Here is one of our all-time most popular posts. Although most of us are winding down the school year, it's a good time to reflect and start collecting strategies for next year!
This week we've focused on critical thinking using the model developed by the Foundation for Critical Thinking. By now you're probably excited about the incredible potential that these tools hold…and a little overwhelmed. Where to start?
Students should know that you are interested in their thinking and that improved critical thinking is a goal of your classroom. They should also know that self-questioning is the key to improved thinking!
2) Choose ONE element of thought, intellectual standard, or intellectual trait and teach students what it means. You might start by defining the element or standard you've chosen to focus on. Define clarity or depth or fairness in a simple way. Ask students to classify sentences as examples or non-examples of the trait. Would you say this sentence is clear or unclear? Why? Is this idea deep or shallow? Why? Then have them come up with their own examples and non-examples. In other words, teach the element, standard, or trait AS A CONCEPT.
3) Give students something to think about and ask them to practice improving their thinking. You might start with a quote and ask them to put it into their own words, or agree or disagree with it. You might ask a question about the novel you are reading, or math problem you're trying to solve. Whatever it is, just make sure it requires them to THINK. Then have them practice stopping their thinking to ask themselves questions to refine their thought.
— Telephone: Ask all students to write out answers to your question. Students then pass their writing to their neighbor and the neighbor annotates the writing using the questions above or the following sentence stem: "This is clear because…" (or relevant, or precise, or significant, etc.). They pass the paper again and this time the next student re-writes the answer to improve it based on the annotations. Keep passing papers around until students have their original work — by now it should be perfect!
1) Tell them you want them to improve their thinking.
2) Teach students what the traits of good thinking look like.
3) Give them opportunities to practice thinking and to stick with a thought long enough to improve it!

The Pro-Argin™ technology plugs and seals open dentine tubules with a calcium-rich mineral layer.
When used over a period of 8 weeks, the novel toothpaste containing arginine and MFP in a calcium carbonate base significantly reduced dentine hypersensitivity (p < 0.05) in response to both the tactile and air blast stimuli. Compared to the commercial toothpaste with 2% potassium ion and NaF, the arginine containing toothpaste was significantly (p <0.05) more effective in reducing hypersensitivity scores after 2, 4, and 8 weeks of use (16.2%, 22.4%, and 21.4% for tactile stimuli; 16.2%, 29.2% and 63.4% for air blast stimuli).
A new toothpaste with 8% arginine, calcium carbonate and 1450 ppm fluoride (MFP) provided significantly (p < 0.05) greater dentine hypersensitivity relief after 2, 4, and 8 weeks of use than a desensitising toothpaste containing 2% potassium ion and 1450 ppm fluoride (NaF).

Super Mario Odyssey regains some, but not all, of Mario 64's magic
By Brian Harris, Staff Writer
Everybody knows Super Mario.
Whether you're talking to a hardcore fan with twenty years of gaming experience or just a regular average Joe, they know Super Mario. A grandpa who hasn't touched a game in his life? Knows Super Mario. A five-year-old who can barely speak? Knows Mario.
In the thirty-six years since his inception, Mario has run, jumped and platformed into the hearts of an entire generation, and then some. The face of gaming, Mario is to the burgeoning platform what Mickey Mouse was to 2D animation so long ago. A mascot.
Super Mario Odyssey, released October 27, 2017 for the Nintendo Switch likes to remind you of that. Throughout the lengthy adventure, Mario's history pokes at the seams.
A familiar location here, a long-forgotten theme there. Even the style of the game seems designed to remind you of days gone by, with a shift back to a Mario 64-styled open world, full of exploration.
But while lesser franchises would go about this in repetitive, almost derivative callbacks, Nintendo EPD (Mario Odyssey's developers) have used these merely as stepping stones. Where many would see emulating iconic elements enough and call it a day, Odyssey expands upon them in almost every way.
First, let's talk about those open worlds: while most games go for purely the size of their open areas, Odyssey finds its groove in moderately sized maps filled to the brim with the game's collectible "moons."
To clarify, Odyssey's plot very much follows the tried and true series formula: the maniacal Bowser kidnaps Mario's beloved Princess Peach, and Mario begins his "odyssey" in pursuit.
How do you chase him? With the collectible moons of course, divvying up certain required amounts designated for progression, thus giving you a massive incentive for collecting them. And collecting you will do throughout over ten jam-packed worlds.
And I really do mean jam-packed. There isn't one single moment where you aren't either getting a moon, solving a moon's puzzle (which, while not difficult, are always satisfying to complete), or both at the same time.
I've had instances where on the way to one moon, I'll find two or even three more on the way there.
And while some of the almost thousand moons can be thrown about haphazardly in plain sight; the fact that those are the vast minority throughout the worlds given the sheer amount of the things is an incredible accomplishment in level design. As are the worlds themselves.
Sprawling, beautiful and creative, almost every area in Super Mario Odyssey seems designed for long, investigative stretches of exploration.
There's something hidden in almost every crevice, no corner left un-mooned, no stone unturned.
While you do get the occasional bit of classic Mario (it wouldn't be a Super Mario game without a slightly generic beach level), there are plenty of genuine surprises in the themes that feel like ideas Nintendo has had for maybe decades.
I'm a firm believer that a boring theme or bland visuals can ruin an exploration based game like this; it requires emotional investment from a player that wants to find its literal hundreds of secrets. Odyssey crafts over ten worlds full of them with seeming ease.
Of course, a review of Odyssey wouldn't be complete without addressing the somewhat game changing mechanic: Cappy. Cappy is a ghost cap who befriends Mario, becoming his hat and buddy.
Now, as crazy as that sounds (and is), what that really means in terms of the game is the all new capture mechanic. With the press of a button, Mario will throw his hat, and whether its enemies, friends, or even inanimate objects you're aiming at, Mario will "become" that thing, complete with the iconic hat and moustache.
So, if you've ever wanted to see a realistic looking T-Rex sporting the classic get-up, you're in luck!
While the concept is nuts, in execution its brilliant. Practically every transformation has some sort of ability that factors into the puzzles scattered throughout the game.
Need to climb a wall? Possess a woodpecker and climb with your beak. Need to blow up some rocky terrain to grab a moon? Just capture a tank and get to blasting.
Worlds are designed around this mechanic, not the other way around, and puts a new twist on the classic Mario formula. And that really sums up this game, a new twist on the classic formula.
Now, compared to this year's The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (also for the Nintendo Switch), Odyssey can seem a little tame.
It doesn't fundamentally change its franchise's genre (and just about everything else) like Zelda did, but it does offer an evolution and refinement of 3D Mario.
It's not a reinvention, its attempting perfection of the existing formula. And to be honest, it's close.

Imagine spending a whole day walking under the desert's steaming hot sun, constantly sweating. By the end of the day you can feel that your arms and legs have a crust of dust on top of them, making you feel very uncomfortable as the weather cools down. The only way of getting rid of that sensation is a shower, but how?
The festival does not have the capacity of providing showers to 50 thousand burners, but objecting the greater public heath, there are many portable bathrooms in the central area of BRC.
Providing your own comfort is a great part of the survival experience of the desert. There are two possibilities to keep your personal hygiene: include many extra liters of water in your BM planning (bringing a trailer with a big water holding tank) or bringing some gallons of water and a camping shower.
Another option, kind of a funny one, to wash the dirt out is to run after the water trucks that slowly drive through the main roads, splashing water from their backs to put the road's dust down. They're always being followed by many burners with soap bars and shampoo on their hands. Just don't forget your shoes, because when the PLAYA dries off its consistency is like clay, and a little hard to remove from barefoot without plenty of water.

NYSUT strongly condemns 'sit and stare' policies
Testing/Assessments & Learning Standards
Source: NYSUT Media Relations
ALBANY, N.Y. Feb. 3, 2014 - New York State United Teachers President Richard C. Iannuzzi today called on school districts to abandon educationally unsound and unconscionable policies that force students whose parents have decided to opt them out of state testing to "sit and stare" instead of providing them with a constructive alternative.
At least 15 school districts on Long Island - and, reportedly, others statewide - have recently adopted or are considering such damaging policies ahead of April's state standardized testing in English Language Arts and math, Iannuzzi said.
"NYSUT strongly condemns the policy of 'sit and stare'," Iannuzzi said. "This policy aimed at students whose parents elect to 'opt out' their children from state standardized testing is unconscionable. It would be spiteful and counter-productive for any school district to require an administrator or teacher to direct a child to 'sit and stare' at a blank desk while other students are taking exams because of a choice made by a parent."
Iannuzzi added, "This is cruel to those students not taking the exam and a distraction and disservice to those who are attempting to complete it. Punishing or embarrassing children because their parents exercised their right to choose not to have their children participate in tests they consider inappropriate is, frankly, abusive."
NYSUT Vice President Maria Neira called on the Regents and State Education Department to deliver to school districts clear guidance that protects children against detrimental and abusive testing policies. "This is an opportunity for the Regents and State Education Department to step in and protect students from harmful policies that result from parents exercising their right to decide what's best for their child," she said.
NYSUT strongly supports a parent's right to "opt out" of state standardized tests if the parent believes state testing is inappropriate and may be harmful to his or her child.
Iannuzzi said the union would provide guidance and support to parents - or parent groups - unfairly singled out or harassed for advocating the right to opt out and added, "We will vigorously defend any NYSUT members who are subject to any negative employment considerations for choosing to opt out their own child or who advocate, to the extent permitted by law, for others who opt out of state standardized tests."
New York State United Teachers is a statewide union with more than 600,000 members in education, human services and health care. NYSUT is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association and the AFL-CIO.

Comment of the MFA of Ukraine on Russia's large-scale military exercises "Caucasus 2016"
Ukraine is deeply concerned with the military exercises "Caucasus 2016" which are being held on the occupied territories and near the border of Ukraine. The massive build-up of the Russian joint military force grouping in the occupied territories and on the border of Ukraine, bringing it to the highest alert constitute an increasing immediate military threat to Ukraine.
Under the guise of a sudden inspection of the combat readiness of the Russian Armed Forces on August 25-31, which had in fact become an initial phase of the "Caucasus-2016" military exercises, Russia has concentrated on the south-western direction a joint military force grouping of about 100,000 soldiers (including about 41,000 near the borders of Ukraine), more than 2,500 combat vehicles, 60 ships, 400 aircrafts and helicopters. More than 11,000 soldiers were redeployed to the Southern Military District from other districts of Russia.
It should be underlined that in the military doctrine of Russian Federationsuch steps, namely deployment (build-up) by a foreign state of military units in the areas adjacent to Russia including with the aim of exerting political and military pressure, are defined as one of the main external military threats.
These provocative actions of the aggressor state take place against the backdrop of the blocking by Russia of the Minsk process, its failure to fulfill the security provisions of the Minsk agreements and escalation in the Donbas. Explicitly provocative actions of the Russian Federation negate international efforts to stabilize the situation in Donbas and threaten the regional stability.
It is noteworthy that on the backdrop of the "Caucasus-2016" military exercises, command and staff exercises of the 1 and 2 army corps of the Russian occupation troops in Donbas are being held on 5-9 September. Such practice has recently become regular as all measures of operational and combat training of these units take place within the integrated system of the Russian armed forces under control of members of the General Staff and the Southern Military Command District of Russia.
Ukraine urges Russia to stop provocative build-up of its military presence in the occupied territories and near the border with Ukraine and take steps to reduce tensions. We call on the international community and partners of Ukraine to undertake measures to encourage Russia to give up provocations and actions aimed at the destruction of the global and regional security.

Adopting Homeless Charter of Rights a possibility: Kelowna mayor and MLA
The charter has been noted to enhance human rights of the marginalized community
David Venn
(This article is part five of a five-part series on the differing perspectives of the homeless versus mainstream culture and how that stigma associated with being homeless directly affects their relationships between authorities, public space and themselves.)
Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick and Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran said adopting or supporting the adaptation of a Homeless Charter of Rights is a possibility for both the city and B.C.
The document, which was created by a Calgary-based homeless organization, outlines the human rights of people who experience homelessness, such as their right to access space, facilities, social services, health care and to be treated with respect and dignity.
"From what I know about the Homeless Charter of Rights, it's a social movement designed to make everyone agree that people experiencing homelessness have the right to access health care, housing and justice. I think we can all accept that—I think that's what we're all trying to do," Basran said.
Letnick said he supports the rights of everyone, including people who experience homelessness.
He did not specify whether or not he supported the charter, but he said: "I will discuss its contents with my colleagues in Victoria when we return this fall."
Sherry Landry, Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society outreach co-ordinator, said she would like to see something similar adopted or recognized provincewide.
READ MORE: Part one: From homeless to housed
While the City of Calgary was addressing its own homelessness issue, an institution, similar to Central Okanagan Journey Home Society (COJHS), ratified the document.
The charter is a document brought to life by the Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF), the CHF Client Action Committee (CAC) and the Alberta Human Rights Commission.
The City of Calgary has not adopted the charter, CAC member Nigel Kirk said, but the committee is currently working to make that happen.

READ MORE: Part three: Kelowna homeless fight for freedom of possessions, clash with bylaw
The document has, however, influenced many of the policies and initiatives taken by the CHF, which has—directly or indirectly—shown an increase in quality of life for people who experience homelessness in Calgary, Kirk stated.
For example, the James Short park, on top of a parkade in downtown Calgary, is known as a tolerant zone for people who experience homelessness.
This has been a milestone for people who experience homelessness, Kirk said.
"There have been more movements to add some more public spaces—allowing homeless people to hangout there during the day without being harassed by police officers," Kirk said, noting that Calgary is not perfect and that they still have quite a ways to go.
"It's happening less and less frequently."
Reciprocation started with the media and spiralled from there.
Once the public saw how people who experience homelessness were being treated, initiatives such as the homeless charter took off, with shelters and storefronts posting outside their buildings, Kirk said.

"A lot of it has just been public awareness," Kirk said. "A lot of police officers are under a lot more scrutiny so they had to step back a little bit when it comes to harassing members of the homeless community."
The downfall, Kirk said, is there's no way to enforce the charter—it is a document not enforced by legislation but rather by the goodwill and empathy of others.
John Graham, UBC Okanagan's school of social work director and COJHS member, said there must be social cohesion throughout Kelowna to solve this widespread and varying issues associated with homelessness.
"We need to ensure that public dialogue remains open and full so that the perspectives of all parties (are heard)," he said.
"We've got some real potential to do some real good here."
Basran expressed similar virtues in finding a community solution.
"We know that in order to truly address homelessness, the support of the community as a whole will be needed to be fully effective," Basran said.
"Everyone can play a role. As our lived and living experience people have told us, stigma and discrimination are some of the greatest barriers they face in our community every day.
"Simply saying hello can make the greatest difference for those struggling to find their place in our community."
