BY PLANE - YOU CAN FLY TO SEVERAL AIRPORTS
BRATISLAVA AIRPORT
POPRAD AND KOSICE AIRPORTS
Bratislava Airport - the capital city
BRATISLAVA International Airport is operated by several low cost airline companies. It means that you can fly to Bratislava for reasonable prices from several European cities, such as:
You can fly to Bratislava from all of these cities either with RYANAIR, WIZZ AIR, SMART WINGS, CZECH AIRLINES or POBEDA.
Once you are at the Bratislava Airport, all you need, is to take a taxi or a bus number 61, that will take you to the center or directly to the Main Railway Station.
You should pay for taxi about 10 €, maybe even less. If you decide for a bus, buy the 60 minutes ticket.
Bratislava is a good starting point, whether you need to go to the central or east Slovakia. With a train you can travel to the biggest towns or to the High Tatras. Trains leave approx. every 2 hours.
If you need any help with your transfers (advice, arrange of transfer) feel free to contact us.
Schwechat Vienna Airport
Schwechat Vienna Airport (Wien Flughafen) is one of the most busiest airports in the world, which is situated about 60 km far away from Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia.
If you decide to visit Slovakia, you can fly to Vienna from all over the world. So it´s a good starting point for a tour through Slovakia, if you are traveling to Slovakia from North and South America, Australia or Asia.
Getting from Vienna Airport to Bratislava is easy. I recommend you to travel with buses of the companies Slovak Lines or Regio Jet, because they stop at the Main Bus Station. The bus ride takes exactly 1 hour and the price per person is 5 €. The bus usually leaves every half past the hour.
The bus will take you to the Main Bus Station. If you need to get to the Main Railway Station, take the trolleybus number 210.
If you need any further help with your transfers (advice, arrange of transfer) feel free to contact us.
Budapest Ferenz List Airport
Budapest Ferenz List Airport is one of the most busiest airports in the Central Europe, which is situated about 200 km far away from Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia.
If you decide to visit Slovakia, you can fly to Budapest from all over the world. So it´s a good starting point for a tour through Slovakia, if you are traveling to Slovakia from North and South America, Australia or Asia, as well as Europe.
The easiest way to get from Budapest to Bratislava is taking a train. The train ride takes about 3 hours. The international trains leave several times a day in direction Brno, Berlin or Warszawa and on the way they stop in Bratislava.
First you need to get from the Budapest Airport to the Keleti Railway station by bus, train or taxi.
Krakow Airport Jana Pawla II.
Krakow Airport Jana Pawla II. has a great location, if you would like to visit the Northern part of Slovakia, e.g. the High Tatras. Krakow Airport is about 2 hrs far away from Slovakia.
Krakow Airport is operated by many airlines and low cost airlines as well. It is possible to fly to Krakow from all over the Europe – United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark etc.
Unfortunately, it is quite complicated to get from Krakow Airport to Slovakia by public transportation, as there is no direct connection. The best option is to arrange a private transfer (for about 50-100 €/group) or hire a car from one of the car renting companies.
Poprad and Košice Airports - small Slovak airports
For travelers coming to the Tatra Mountains from London, the Poprad and Košice Airports are the best options.
Poprad Airport
The Poprad Airport is situated about 20 minutes far away from the High Tatras. From the airport, you can see the mountains. There are 2 possibilities how to get from the Airport to the High Tatras.
Either take a taxi to the railway station in the town Poprad and then take the tram to the High Tatras.
Or take a taxi directly to the High Tatras. The price, depening on the destination, should be about 15-20 €.
This airport is operated by the low cost airlines Wizz Air.
Košice Airport
The Košice Airport is another great airport for travelers from London. You can get to the High Tatras by a train. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes. You need to get to the town Poprad and from there you can travel to the High Tatras with a tram or a bus.
SECRET TIP: Often, the flight tickets to Košice cost less than the flight tickets to Poprad.
FROM VIENNA
Getting to Slovakia from Vienna
There is a direct connection between both cities. It takes approximately 1 hour to get from one central station to another. Bratislava's central station is called Bratislava – Hlavná stanica, often shortened to Bratislava- Hl. st., in some occasions. In Vienna you will get to the newly built Wien Hauptbahnhof central station.
There are two railway stations! in Bratislava, where you can arrive:
Bratislava Hlavna Stanica (The Main Railway Station)
Bratislava Petržalka
I personally recommend you to choose the Hlavna Stanica (The Main Railway Station), as this one is closer to the city center and the Old Town.
First train from Vienna leaves at 5:38 and the last at 22:38 and trains leave every hour. The return ticket costs 14 € per person.
Getting to Slovakia from Budapest
There is a direct connection between these cities. A EuroCity train leaves approximately every 2 hours and it takes only 2 hours and 40 minutes. Bratislava's central station is called Bratislava – hlavná stanica, often shortened to Bratislava- hl. st. in some occasions. In Budapest you will arrive to/depart from the Budapest Keleti station.
The one-way ticket costs about 15 € and return costs 17,50 €
Getting to Slovakia from Prague
There is a direct train connection between Prague and Bratislava. It takes approximately 4 hours 10 minutes to get from one central train station to another. Bratislava's central train station is called Bratislava hlavná stanica, often shortened to Bratislava, hl. st. The central train station in Prague is called Praha hlavní nádraží, shortened to Praha, hl. n.
If you are not travelling to Bratislava, but for example to the High Tatras, you don´t have to travel to Bratislava. There is direct connection between the town Poprad and Prague. Poprad is situated close to the High Tatras. It takes about 6 hrs to get from Prague to Poprad-Tatry.
The one-way ticket costs about 15 € and return costs 30 €.

Does One Incur Google Penalties for Blocking Entire Countries?
A lot of people seem to experience negative web experiences from those abroad. I can personally think of my own experiences and have thought to myself that it would be ideal to block an entire country from accessing a website to prevent fraud and the like. A WebmasterWorld member thinks similarly but wants to know if there are any consequences to blocking countries in this way. But is this dangerous in the eyes of Google?

The manufacturers of a product we designed which uses the NHD-0420DZW-AY5 display sent us a few units back which they said didn't work so I have been busy trying to repair them.
I have managed to fix all but one which is acting very strange.
When using a simple "Hello World" program the text initially displays but then fades away within a second of setting the text. After this has happened either power cycling the screen or trying to refresh the text have no effect and the display stays blank. The supply voltage has to be removed for a minute or so before the text will display and fade again. Because of this behaviour it feels like a capacitor might be faulty somewhere but without a schematic I wouldn't know where to begin trying to replace them. The display is still drawing about 30 mA at 3.3V after it has faded away.
Do you think it is one of the SMD devices on the back that is faulty and could be replaced or is the whole unit a write off?
The correct text is displayed, it just fades to black in less than a second.


WCAHS Outreach attended the 6th annual "Día de la Familia" event in the City of Napa on Sunday July 30th, 2017. This fun-filled free street fair, which celebrates Napa Valley's farmworkers and their families, had Aztec dancers, mariachi, raffles, face painting, music, tacos and popsicles.
Over 50 community organizations, including WCAHS, were present to provide information on services and programs available to the community. Because the entire street was blocked off, it was easy for people to interact with the various vendors and stroll through the entertaining and colorful event.
In order to participate in a raffle, people had to visit at least 24 vendor booths, which gave us an opportunity to teach them about the importance of water, shade, and rest in preventing heat illness. We brought along our colorful roulette wheel with questions related to heat illness and pesticide safety. We also had some goodies to give away to those who answered correctly, including water bottles, bandanas, cowbells, pens, thermometers, and key chains.
Being able to engage with the community is not only an important part of our program but one that means a lot to me as well. Being able to help others has always been a passion of mine, so attending an event like this was a lot of fun and very rewarding.
The event was a great opportunity for community members to learn something new about heat illness and pesticide safety since many shared that they worked in the fields. Kids also participated, and it was fun to see them try really hard to answer the roulette wheel questions correctly or bring their parents to help them so they could win a prize.
By the end of the day, we had spoken to over 250 people! Needless to say, we were quite busy for most of the event, but it was great to interact with so many families who thanked us for providing such important and life-saving information.
The best feeling at the end of the day was knowing that we not only got to know members of the Napa Valley community, but that we were also able to provide them with information to take away and share with others. I hope that we get to participate in this family friendly event next year or similar ones that allow us to share all of the wonderful work that we do at WCAHS!


Nowhere else in the world will you find an area as fascinating to explore as the Dutch Provinces of North Holland and Friesland, two areas rich in tradition, full of romantic fishing and harbor villages, picturesque lakes and expansive North Sea vistas. Over the course of your week on board your floating hotel, the ship DE Holland, you will be able to discover typical Dutch culture in picturesque harbor towns and small villages while you cycle through a flat "polder land," extensively reclaimed over the centuries from the North Sea.
What you will soon realize is the truth behind the proverb "God created the earth but the Dutch made Holland," such has been the extent of land reclamation in the region you will be cycling through. Since the 17th century in an effort to save disappearing land from encroaching water, protective dikes have been built, low-lying land has been pumped dry and tidal dams have been created in creeks to prevent flooding, with the result that today's green flat polder landscape is full of agricultural enterprise.
Given the Dutch love of cycling, the region is crisscrossed with many quiet cycle tracks that stretch from one end of the region to the other. You will be amazed by the beauty of the North Sea beaches, the towering sand dunes – who said there were no hills in Holland! – the extremely bike friendly island of Texel, the beautiful flat landscapes, small dreamlike farm villages and picturesque harbor villages. During the second part of the tour, you will cross the large lake IJsselmeer to Stavoren in the Province of Friesland.
Other highlights during your week tour include the open air museum "Zaanse Schans," the historic city center of Alkmaar and the old harbor cities of Medemblik, Enkhuizen, Hoorn and Volendam, the islands of Texel and Marken and – of course – Amsterdam with its beautiful canals.
Embarkation beginning at 2:00pm in Amsterdam. Take the opportunity to go shopping or explore downtown Amsterdam, world famous for its canals, its quirky "leaning" buildings, museums, the Anne Frank House, the Waterlooplein Flea Market, the Dam Square in the historical center and heart of the city. Welcome meeting, cocktail, dinner and first briefing on board. First night on board in Amsterdam.
The first bike trip of this tour takes you via small villages through the beautiful flat and green polder landscape. The first stop is at the Zaanse Schans open air museum (free entry) with its traditional Old Dutch wooden houses, windmills and the cheese- and clog factory. After this visit you will cycle through the "Land of Leeghwater," a green polder area between Amsterdam, Alkmaar and Hoorn. Stroll through the former whaler's village De Rijp and pass by the windmills of Schermerhorn. Your ship De Holland will be waiting for you near the historical city center of Alkmaar.
During breakfast De Holland will sail to the isle of Texel, where you can make a tour on the largest of the Dutch North Sea Isles. You will cycle through beautiful natural parks and have the opportunity for a stop and some bathing at the beach. Suggestion: cycle the beautiful "Thijsse-route" (with signposting, approximately 25 miles) through picturesque villages and landscapes and visit the seal sanctuary "Ecomare." At the end of your cycling tour you can enjoy a locally brewed beer during a visit to the small brewery near Oudeschild. During dinner, De Holland will return to the mainland and sail to Den Oever.
The vessel will cross the large inland lake IJsselmeer to cruise to Stavoren in the Province of Friesland. You can opt for a shorter or longer cycling tour: discover the nature area of Gaasterland or explore a part of the wide lake district, that Friesland is well-known for. You can also combine both options. Night in Stavoren, one of the famous 11 cities of Friesland.
De Holland will cross the IJsselmeer again during breakfast. Take the short bike trip from Medemblik along the IJsselmeer coast directly to Enkhuizen, where you can spend the afternoon. Enkhuizen is an old city with many centuries of maritime tradition. The "herring city" boasts a beautiful old harbor, an historical old town center and the very interesting Zuiderzeemuseum. If you prefer a longer cycling tour, ride from Medemblik to the former Dutch East India Company town of Hoorn, in the 17th century one of the world's leading harbors. Enjoy your lunch break and make a short stroll in the old city center. Continue by bike to Enkhuizen via some picturesque rural villages. In the evening you can join a short city walk.
During breakfast, the ship will cruise to Volendam. Your final day of cycling will lead you through the beautiful area of Waterland with its hundreds of small lakes and tiny canals. Near Volendam you will have the opportunity to visit a cheese farm. Recommended (extra miles) is a detour to the former island of Marken, to continue through the water shaped region of Waterland back to the Dutch capital city of Amsterdam.
The afternoon and evening are yours to enjoy everything Amsterdam has to offer. If you didn't go for a canal tour on the first day, you will have the opportunity to do so today.
After breakfast, disembarkation by 9:30am and end of tour.
If guests don't want to cycle a day (or more) they can relax and stay on board while the ship is cruising. Please note: lunch will not be served on board, so you can enjoy your packed lunch. In case of unfavorable weather conditions, the captain may decide to change the route.
The terrain is flat and the cycle paths are mostly concrete or paved roads. If guests don't want to cycle a day (or more) then can relax and stay on board while the ship is sailing.
It's a short distance from the train station to the pier via taxi.
Special dietary requests may be accommodated for a surcharge; please include your request at time of booking.
In the Netherlands, bikers are not obligated by law to wear a bike helmet. Please bring your own – good fitting – helmet. Bike helmets are not available on board. If you pre-reserve a bike helmet (price € 10 per helmet), we can bring it on board for you.

I agree, I thought it was good. Italians were very mixed...my boyfriend and I were waiting for the previous showing to end and we heard roars of laughter and a lot of happy people leaving. When I went to teach the following week, most of my (italian) students hated it, said it made Italians look stupid, it wasn't funny etc. boh! I thought the Benigni storyline was very en point , especially in Italy, and the rest was just in good fun. The only storyline I didn't care for was the wife who 'gets lost'. I thought the character was really silly and pointless.
How interesting! Grazie for sharing!
I'd keep Milly and her being starstruck with the movie star, but skip her being so very naive and getting lost, which irritated me too.

Del Toro made a point of highlighting he was a Mexican and an immigrant during the ceremony.
Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro asked people to reject fear and embrace respect, while urging migrants not to believe the lies being told about them, as he unveiled Tuesday his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The US Must Do More to Control Weapons Sales - Lopez Obrador
"As a Mexican, receiving this star is a gesture and no gesture right now can be banal or simple. This is very important that it is happening right now," the director said.
"I can tell to all of you, all immigrants from every nation, that you should believe in the possibilities and not the obstacles. Ever. Do not believe the lies they tell about us. Believe in the stories you have inside and believe that we all can make a difference and we all have stories to tell," he said.
Del Toro, who is originally from Guadalajara, said, "Right now, we are in a moment of great fear, great fear and great division. That's why fear is used, it is used to divide us," but he added, "The antidote to that is to come together, to realize those divisions are complete fantasies."
Del Toro's address came just two days after 22 people including eight Mexicans were gunned down in El Paso, Texas, in a massacre committed last Saturday by a white supremacist who shot his way through a shopping mall.
Considered one of today's top film directors, Del Toro has won two Oscars: Best Picture and Best Director for the 2017 movie "The Shape of Water."
Together with Alejandro Gonzalez-Iñarritu and Alfonso Cuaron, with whom he forms a group known as "The Three Amigos of Cinema," Del Toro has been one of those largely responsible for the great success of Mexican film directors around the world.

Thai architect hits on blueprint for sustainable living in the tropics
samantha, September 28, 2003
PATHUM THANI, Thailand – In a gated community just outside the teeming megalopolis of Bangkok, Soontorn Boonyatikarn's three-bedroom home appears much like any other, with the solar panelling on the roof the only hint that something out of the ordinary lies beneath.
Soontorn calls this home a blueprint for sustainable living in the tropics: the unassuming house is 15 times more energy efficient than its neighbours, produces enough surplus electricity to power a car and creates its own water-supply and cooking gas.
"This house is a dream house for the future," says the architect, who challenged himself to build a self-sufficient dwelling in Thailand three years ago and has now been living in it for six months.
To meet his goal, Soontorn needed to design a house which had energy needs that could be met by solar panels squeezed onto its roof — one fifteenth the area required to supply a typical house with solar energy.
Soontorn had spent nearly two decades teaching at the University of Michigan in the United States and researching sustainable living. The additional challenge was to make what he'd learned abroad applicable to Asia.
"When I brought what I had learned back to Thailand, everything I used to do was the opposite here, so it had to be done backwards," he says. "Only the concept is transferable to tropical areas. You cannot take the knowledge and just put it here."
The journey from drawing board to reality was a fraught process, says Soontorn, who has battled scepticism, intransigent engineers and sloppy workmanship along the way.
"I had some students helping me do research on this and that but the imagination behind it is mine. Nobody wanted to do anything like this — they think it's crazy," he says.
"When I presented my paper (to the government), they said I was crazy. Somebody said they should take me to the hospital to check out my brain. They said a lot of nasty things."
Soontorn pushed on undeterred, only to then meet resistance from his engineer who refused to adapt designs to his needs, such as airconditioning ducts 15 times smaller than the norm.
"He said, 'No way will I do it!' So I had to do it myself," he sighs.
Next came the construction, which "did not live up to my expectations" and led to Soontorn supervising all the work.
But the final product has won over the professionals, with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) presenting a regional award for energy efficiency to Soontorn last Sunday.
Kecha Thirakomen, a governor of ASHRAE's Thai chapter and an energy efficiency expert, lavishes praise on the house.
"It is an excellent project… It's very difficult for energy efficient projects to have good design and construction and be in practical use," says Kecha, who is not aware of any similar houses in the Asian region.
"In our culture sometimes we are too modest to express our ideas and sometimes it's not the way to success. But Dr. Soontorn was outside for a while and when he came back he was brave enough to express his concept and ideas."
"With him, whether someone agrees with him or not, he just doesn't care."
Soontorn built a house that even after lighting, air-conditioning and appliances produces a surplus 5.0 kilowatt hours per day that can be sold back to the grid, or power an electric car for 50 kilometres per day.
The water supply is consistent and requires only a small, cost-effective tank.
Some 30 to 40 litres are collected daily on the roof, thanks to a special surface which lowers its temperature at night. Water is then condensed out of the breeze, which is channelled across it by landscaped mounds in the garden.
Another 40 litres is sourced from the air-conditioning system, which itself operates using two-thirds the standard amount of energy.
Recycling water twice — with some sprinkling the vegetables growing in a greenhouse — provides at least 140 litres per day, with Thailand's six-monthly monsoonal rains making up the rest.
"When you do not have to buy water, it means the house can be anywhere — on an island, the top of a mountain — anywhere in this region where the rains fall six to seven months each year," says Soontorn.
Grass clippings from the 800-square-metre block of land meanwhile are used to produce the gas typically used for traditional Thai cooking.
"You are living in a world of true sustainability with features that are equivalent to a millionaire's," Soontorn enthuses, pointing to the 1.4-metre deep swimming pool which is filled during the rainy season.
The pool is heated slightly using the surplus energy created by the air-conditioner — after it's used to heat the hot-water tank.
The total cost for the house, swimming pool and solar cells comes in at 5.0 million baht (124,378 dollars), a not unduly high price by Bangkok standards.
Soontorn, who is awaiting patent approval for his design, is already looking ahead: to a sustainable city.
"It would require nothing, no extra energy from outside. That's what I dream of."

Герман Нітш (; 29 серпня 1938, Відень — 18 квітня 2022, Містельбах-ан-дер-Цайя, Нижня Австрія) — австрійський художник, перформер, живописець, засновник віденського акціонізму.

Роботи Германа часто посилаються до насилля й агресії. На це значною мірою впливає набір кольорів та матеріалів, що використовуються художником: густа фарба, відтінки червоного та сірого, які нагадують понівечене тіло. У 1950-х роках Нітш заснував Театр оргій та містерій, представивши близько 100 перформансів.

Дії Нітша, які вважаються ритуальними та екзистенційними, вперше привернули увагу критиків на початку 1960-х років, коли художник виставив на огляд здерту й понівечену шкіру ягняти. Розп'ята на тлі білої тканини тварина була позбавлена нутрощів. Шоу супроводжувалося музикою, написаною Нітшем. Більшість робіт художника поєднували загальні елементи, такі як мертві тварини, фрукти, музика, танці та майже завжди зовнішній вигляд активних учасників. Діяльність Нітша призводила до постійної конфронтації із державною владою Австрії. В 1963 Нітш отримав тюремний термін, що стало причиною його переїзду до Німеччини в 1968 році.

У наступні десятиліття Нітш став визнаним художником, який жив і працював у своєму замку в австрійському селі Прінцендорф. Він помер 18 квітня 2022 року у віці 83 років.

Big Bird Presidential Skit Gets Beaumont Band in Trouble
Some people didn't find Beaumont Central's satirical halftime show, with students dressed up as Barack Obama, Mitt Romney and Big Bird, to be all that funny.
https://www.texasmonthly.com/politics/big-bird-presidential-skit-gets-beaumont-band-in-trouble/
Screenshot | YouTube
Provocative humor from a marching band at halftime is old hat–that is, if you're the Rice MOB or the Stanford band. But if you're Beaumont Central Medical Magnet High School, being topical or funny is apparently more problematic.
As Adam Wright of KBMT12 reported, a routine inspired by the first presidential debate's "Big Bird' meme blew up into a political firestorm after Central's most recent game against Little Cypress-Mauriceville November 3.
Beaumont ISD's school board has since issued a statement apologizing for "any act that appeared to some as a negative message and/or a political endorsement."
"Was this halftime show political or silly?" was the headline on the story by Lance Edwards of Texas Sports Center, which uploaded a clip to YouTube that has racked up more than 50,000 views. As Edwards summarized:
The concept was a dance off instead of a debate between Obama (young man in white shirt) and Romney (wearing mask and blue shirt).
Then Big Bird comes out and slugs Romney for his comments about Sesame Street in reference to Public Broadcasting.
The band director simply stated at the start of the skit "Are ya'll going to vote this Tuesday?" – then the dance off began.
Romney danced, Obama danced, then Big Bird danced.
Big Bird slugged the Romney character.
The Central band has actually performed the routine several times, including at the October 28 Southern Regional National Championship Battle of the Bands. The Big Bird/Romney "violence" is very much in the tradition of professional wrestling, which may or may not have been a problem by itself.
"It was cute when you had Romney dancing and you had Obama dancing, to me there's nothing wrong with that, it's just a presentation of who's running for president, but at the end when one of them gets knocked out, it just to me goes a little bit overboard," BISD school board member Mike Neil told KBMT's Wright.
"…The political bias is pretty clear based on the captured video," opined Eric Ritze of the conservative site The Blaze.
But as Stephen C Webster of Raw Story noted, "the band leader only asks, 'Are y'all going to vote on Tuesday?' without endorsing either candidate, and Romney and Big Bird shake and make up in the end."
Other reactions to the band's performance were far more inflammatory than the actual routine, except without the excuse of being entertainment.
"Racially motivated skit?" asked a post at the Reagan Coalition, while one writer at The Examiner felt compelled to note not only that Central was a predominantly African-American school, but that "more than half of Central High students reportedly receive free or reduced lunch in 2011."
Conversely, there was this post at Bandhead.org calling for other band boosters to support the Central students. "I don't need to go in immense details about the area known as "the golden triangle," opined 'Chris.' "But that area includes Vidor, Nederland, Orange, Beaumont, Kountze, Buna etc. Enough said…"
At the progressive Burnt Orange Report, Joe Deshotel actually agrees that the performance was inappropriate, but if so, he argues, so are the religious messages of the cheerleaders in Kountze, who have received the support of Texas Governor Rick Perry and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott:
Republican officials lined up to endorse the proposition of Christian scripture on official public school football banners while promising that they would do the same for students of any belief. But, in the first major opportunity to stand up for students with differing ideals the Republican Party of Jefferson County called this latest act of student led speech a, "gross display of institutional arrogance on the part of a taxing entity".
In fact, a Change.org petition asking Abbott to prosecute the school district for illegal electioneering has more than one thousand signatures
"Government agencies that use tax dollars to support their programs, like school districts, are not permitted by law to influence elections," the petition insists.
But if it were that really that simple, student newspapers couldn't run opinion columns, and all kinds of music, art and theater would be suspect.
"This was, to use some perspective, simply a joke in the context of a halftime show where humor is to be expected," Frank D. LoMonte, the executive director of the Student Press Law Center, told the TM Daily Post via email. "It is contextually very different from, for instance, summoning everyone in the building to a mandatory school assembly where the principal tells everyone who to vote for." He continued:
Assuming that this joke was initiated by students and not by school employees, then the school would be on shaky constitutional footing in trying to prohibit or punish it. The Supreme Court has emphasized that students — many of whom are voting age, or about to be there — are citizens and are entitled to some measure of free expression, especially if it does not disrupt school activities. Although the school has some greater latitude to disassociate itself from speech when school time and school facilities are used — and this probably qualifies as an official school event, even though it is outside the instructional day — that authority is not unlimited. Suppressing a political viewpoint is highly, highly disfavored by the courts, since political speech is exactly what the First Amendment exists to protect.
It's conceivable that the school could have forbidden the students from engaging in political humor during the performance because of concern that their message might be mistaken for an officially sanctioned message of the school, but it's not 100 percent clear that that prohibition would have held up if constitutionally challenged….
At the end of the day, it really would be a good idea for people to take a deep breath and apply some perspective. Not one voter's mind was changed by a Big Bird joke delivered by teenagers as part of an entertainment event, nor, I'm sure, did the students anticipate altering anyone's vote. They were having some fun with a nationally publicized event that's been widely joked about, and even if we disagree with their decision and believe that a lecture is in order, a lecture — not "prosecution," whatever that's intended to mean — is the proportionate response.
Given that it's now Election Day, the fact that the skit may never be performed again is probably moot. In any case, a lecture is what Beaumont ISD board delivered. The school board's official release (via KBMT) stated that:
While BISD leaders are confident the intentions of the band and band director were to raise awareness of voting and not support any candidate, a message has been conveyed about the importance of avoiding the appearance of physical attack and political satire that can be construed as bias.
Central High School leaders regret Campus administrators and band leaders have been instructed to thoroughly examine how students plan to express their creativity as it relates to political rhetoric.

Back in the day, I wrote an editorial noting that many engineers of my generation had played with Erector Sets when they were growing up. Should you be unfamiliar with them, such sets consist of metal girders and panels as well as other components along with screws and nuts to fasten them together. Each set contains the right parts to make a particular device — but much of the fun is that you can assemble the pieces in other ways to make all sorts of contraptions of your own design.
Alfred Carlton Gilbert invented the sets in 1911 and the A.C. Gilbert Co. made them at its Erector Square factory in New Haven, Conn., from 1913 until the firm went bankrupt in 1967, according to Wikipedia. Another U.S. company bought the Erector name and produced sets through the 1980s. Erector Sets still are available though, but now are made by France's Meccano, which offered similar construction kits even before Gilbert.
Gilbert strove to provide educational toys related to science. For instance, several years after the launch of the Erector Set, he introduced Gilbert's Chemical Magic. This kit's box proclaimed it contained "mystifying chemical tricks of famous magicians" — it certainly allowed young would-be chemists to conduct a variety of experiments at home. He also brought out the Kaster Kit, which enabled children to cast their own toy soldiers, etc., out of lead. Other toys included the Microscope and Lab Set. He even established the Gilbert Hall of Science in New York City in 1941 to promote science and his products.
Gilbert's toys reflect a more innocent or at least less regulated time. For instance, notes Bill Brown, director of the Eli Whitney Museum and Workshop in Hamden, Conn., which runs "The Gilbert Project," the instructions for the chemistry sets don't mention using safety goggles or gloves and some of the materials, like hydrochloric acid, undoubtedly wouldn't be permitted today. The casting kit not only involves use of molten lead but the electrical contacts for the crucible to melt the lead are exposed, he adds.
The museum is helping to keep alive Gilbert's legacy — and the hands-on involvement of children with science. It displays a variety of Erector Set constructions, including an elevator that moves up and down in its shaft, and a working Ferris wheel.
In addition, it runs a program to demonstrate the technology behind some of Gilbert's toys. For instance, on December 29, 2009, it held a two-hour session devoted to Chemical Magic, targeted at 11- to 14-year-olds. "You will be surprised and amused by basic reactions, the wonders of chemistry, and the miracle that any child survived that age of braver parents," notes the museum's Web site in describing the event. Forrest Gittleson, a graduate student in chemical engineering at Yale University, conducted a variety of experiments from the kit — such as the "fire bowl" (ignition of KMnO4 with glycerin); "vision of Belzhazzar" (ignition by electrical spark of KNO3 applied on paper to reveal hidden text); "magically suspended ring" (a salt-saturated string holding up a metal ring is burned while the ring remains suspended); and flame testing of different ions — as well as others not in the kit like explosive CO2 sublimation in a bottle, notes Gittleson.
Starting in late November, the museum ran a hands-on exhibition of American Flyer model trains, which also were made by A.C. Gilbert Co.
Its mission extends far beyond Gilbert, though. To quote from its Web site: "The Eli Whitney Museum and Workshop is an experimental learning workshop for students, teachers, and families. We collect, interpret, and teach experiments that are the roots of design and invention." It runs lots of hands-on events. You can view videos of some recent ones at www.eliwhitney.org/new/workshop/summer-2009-videos. The museum even offers an apprenticeship program, in which typically a 13-year-old spends four years at the museum — working with designers and artisans, mastering hand and power tools, teaching children, etc., while earning a stipend.
The museum actually is located in the manufacturing village developed by Eli Whitney, who invented the cotton gin and also pioneered mass production of muskets.
I loudly applaud the museum's efforts, of course.
However, wouldn't it be great if some inventor today came up with a new generation of entertaining and educational toys that engaged children with science and technology — not in a virtual world (although that couldn't hurt) but in a real hands-on way.

Virginia Sports Betting Posts Second-Highest Handle Month in March
Like most states with legalized sports wagering, Virginia had a bounce-back month in March from February.
The 12 online operators for Virginia sports betting reported about $469.5 million in handle, the second-highest total for Virginia behind January 2022 when the NFL playoffs were in full swing along with the NBA, the NHL and college basketball.
Obviously, the March betting figures were buoyed by the NCAA Basketball Tournament. January's record was $485.5 million.
Though wagering specifically on Virginia college athletics is prohibited — eliminating betting on Virginia Tech and Norfolk State, who were in the tournament — the March Madness event alone attracted $109.5 million in bets, or about 23% of the total sports wagering handle for the month.
During March, bettors won about $435.78 million which meant a combined 7.18% operators hold.
Virginia Sports Betting, March vs. February
Total Handle
March $469.484M $14.324M $2.116M
February $401.889M $7.884M $1.406M
Change Up 16.8% Up 81.7% Up 50.5%
AGR Rises in March
After allowances provided to operators for certain items, such as payer acquisition and retention incentives — which, in March, were more than $14 million in bonuses and promotions and another $5.27 million in other deductions — the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) for the sportsbooks was $14.32 million. That was an increase of 81.7% from February ($7.88 million).
Virginia levies a 15% tax on sports wagering AGR so the commonwealth saw about $2.11 million in tax money, up 50.5% from February (about $1.41 million).
12 Active Sportsbooks With More Coming
During March, there were 12 licensed operators active and accepting mobile sports wagers, with Hard Rock Digital being the latest operator to begin accepting sports bets in Virginia.
At the Virginia Lottery board meeting Wednesday, a presentation from the lottery showed that SI Sportsbook was scheduled to launch Wednesday (that didn't happen, but it could go live at any time) and that Betway is scheduled to go live on May 18. They would be the state's 13th and 14th online sportsbooks, respectively.
While sports wagering has been entirely online, the commonwealth will soon have its first brick-and-mortar casino. On April 27, the Virginia Lottery Board issued to Hard Rock Bristol a facility operator's license to operate Virginia's first casino. The casino has announced a July 8 opening at the former Bristol Mall in Bristol, Virginia.
There are no Virginia online casinos yet.

she says she's got my back.
I sense her, my sister.

Growth was led by the commercial sector, which had its strongest month since February.
There was another pick-up in activity in the construction sector during July, according to the latest Purchasing Managers' Index from Ulster Bank.
The main index hit 61 points last month – well above the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction – and an improvement on the 59.7 reading seen in June.
Growth was led by the commercial sector, which had its strongest month since February, according to Ulster Bank.
Total construction activity has now risen in each of the past 35 months.
Housing activity also saw strong growth – though the pace was down slightly on June – while civil engineering activity only grew slightly.
Respondents reported a rise in new business orders during July, with employment rising at its fastest pace in six months in order to meet demand.
Companies were also optimistic about the coming year, with 58% predicting the trend of growth to continue into the next 12 months.
The survey also suggested construction firms have taken on additional staff and expand their purchasing activity off the back of the strong sector growth.
Employment rose for the 35th successive month, and at the fastest pace since February.
Chief Economist at Ulster Bank Simon Barry said the uplift in activity during July was underpinned by "a further significant increase in new business, with the new orders index also rising to its highest level since March".
He added: "The continuation of strong trends in overall activity and new business provide important encouragement that the sector's recovery is maintaining solid momentum at present.
