Special needs day school to open
The day school hopes to provide short break services for parents and families
A school for children with autism and Asperger Syndrome is to open in Cambridgeshire in January.
Gretton School, in Girton, near Cambridge, will cater for up to 40 pupils aged between five and 19.
Education company Piscari, which has set up the school, said it would look to start residential education too in the future.
It also plans to offer short breaks for parents and families, holiday play schemes and out-of-hours clubs.
These will also be open to the local special needs community as well as to pupils at the school.
'Significantly improve lives'
The school will offer medical facilities and a range of therapies including speech and occupational therapy.
It will also run research programmes and hopes to work with the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge.
Headteacher Lyndsey Stone said: "We are all very proud to launch this pioneering, new school.
"It will significantly improve the lives of children and young people living with ASD in and around Cambridge and in the near future, provide residential education for children and families further afield. "
For a place at Gretton School the child's placement must be supported by a referring local authority who will fund it.

By Scott Munro ( Metal Hammer ) published 5 October 18
Watch Evanescence perform live orchestral version of their song Hi-Lo - taken from the new album Synthesis Live
Evanescence have released a live video of their performance of Hi-Lo.
It's the latest track selected from the band's upcoming package Synthesis Live, which is set to arrive on October 12 on DVD, DVD/CD, Blu-ray and Blu-Ray/CD via Eagle Vision.
Synthesis Live was filmed and recorded in front of a sold out crowd at the Grand Theater at Foxwoods Casino on November 3, 2017, as the band toured in support of the Synthesis album.
It included orchestral reworkings of some of the band's best-loved work along with two new tracks, of which Hi-Lo was one.
Speaking about the album at the time, vocalist Amy Lee said: "We've gone through our entire catalogue of music and picked out the songs that are made to be heard in this way – and we're sewing them together from the ground up."
Evanescence previously shared a clip of My Immortal from Synthesis Live, which is now available for pre-order.

Zehorit Sorek, from the Israeli lesbian religious group Bat Kol, recently attended the Limmud conference in England, where she discussed her ten-year fight for LGBT rights in Israel.
Zehorit indicated that she and fellow activists feel the problem with LGBT rights in Israel is a social one, rather than a Halachic one.
As an activist, her role is twofold: one aspect of her work is to communicate with the religious community to lobby for greater acceptance of LGBT Israelis in religious life, and the other is to raise awareness among members of the public.
Her most visible campaign, titled 'Our Faces', targets young, in-the-closet Israelis who perceive a contradiction between religious observance and homosexuality. A Wider Bridge raised $5,000 for this "Our Faces" campaign, which put a public face on LGBTQ Orthodox Israelis.
She and her partner, Limor, were forced to establish their own place of worship in their home city of Tel Aviv, after a minority of members of their previous shul took exception to their decision to have a marriage Kiddush at the synagogue.
But when they left, they took many other members with them, including a number of heterosexual couples.
The next frontier for Mrs Sorek is the abolition of conversion therapy – or the 'pray the gay away' practice – in Israel.

East Metro Water
Tips and tales about keeping water clean
By: angiehongmn December 19, 2017
Partners and Updatesconservation, Washington Conservation District
Elected Board at Washington Conservation District Provides Leadership Behind the Scenes
During the 1930's, millions of Americans struggled to survive an economic depression and severe drought. In the wake of the Dust Bowl, Minnesota passed legislation to create Soil and Water Conservation Districts – county-wide local units of government that could work directly with farmers and other landowners to protect valuable farmland, nurture soil health, repair damage caused by erosion, and preserve healthy lakes and rivers. From this legislation, Washington Conservation District (WCD) was established in 1942. The District is governed by five locally elected supervisors that represent the five commissioner districts in the county. Though WCD board supervisors rarely end up in the spotlight, their leadership helps to guide land and water protection efforts across Washington County.
The Washington Conservation District was established in 1942, in the wake of severe erosion and soil loss during the Dust Bowl and Depression.
Louise Smallidge (District 4) is the longest-running member of the WCD Board of Supervisors and currently serves as the board chair. She and her husband Gene first purchased farmland in Cottage Grove in 1965 in an area that was then known as Langdon (across from Renewal by Anderson today). The Smallidges employ a variety of conservation practices on their land, including grassed waterways, rotational grazing, and conservation tillage, and were honored as the WCD Outstanding Conservationists in 1975. Over the nearly 20 years Louise has served on the board, she has watched Washington County transition from mostly agricultural to rapidly developing. "I'm proud of the fact that the WCD was able to navigate that transition and grow," she says. Louise is also proud of the strong relationships the WCD has built with the county and watershed management organizations over the years.
Vice-chair John Rheinberger (District 3) first developed his love for nature while exploring and playing in the undeveloped ravines of Stillwater as a child. Back then, he says, the city looked much different than it does today. There was coal debris along the riverway, the air was filled with smog, and people dumped litter and waste into the woods and ravines around town. Over the years, John has served on the Washington County Parks Commission, the City of Stillwater Planning Commission, Stillwater City Council, and the County Groundwater Committee. John sees a lot of reasons to feel hopeful about the future of conservation in Washington County based on the progress we have made so far. One of his biggest priorities is protecting groundwater resources in the area for the future. "We can't go back to the way it was in the 1950's when our rivers and air were so polluted," he says. "But, time is of the essence when it comes to conservation. We need action now."
Years ago, the riverfront in Stillwater was littered with coal debris. Now, the St. Croix River is a scenic amenity.
Bob Rosenquist (District 1) and his wife Marilyn own 40 acres of land in eastern Hugo adjoining Kelly Farms. In addition to the WCD Board, Bob also served on the Hugo Planning Commission for 21 years before stepping down this summer. The Rosenquists bought their land in 1972 and got involved in farming when their children were in 4H. In addition to pasture areas, 20 acres of their land is part of the Keystone Woods, which was identified as one of the highest quality habitats in the county. Bob doesn't identify himself as a "tree-hugger" but thinks there is a lot we could be doing better to protect our land and water resources. "Not many people in the county know about the Washington Conservation District and what we do," he says, "but that education and engagement is so important." Bob enjoys talking with the public at events such as the Washington County Fair and has started wearing his WCD hat around town as a way to strike up conversations with friends and neighbors.
The Washington Conservation District has been at the Washington County Fair since 1942.
Jim Levitt (District 2) grew up in a small town in northern Michigan, where he spent a lot of time outdoors hunting and fishing. Today, he works at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in their fisheries division. Since joining the Washington Conservation District board, he has enjoyed learning more about conservation work that happens on the land to protect lakes, rivers and streams. "I always supported practices such as raingardens, but it's been interesting to learn how the WCD works with local partners to secure funding for these types of projects," he says.
Diane Blake (District 5) is the newest member of the WCD Board of Supervisors, serving since January of 2017. Diane grew up in a very conservation-minded family. Her parents ran a Christmas Tree Farm and the family enjoyed camping, fishing, and spending time outdoors. Now, as the mother of two young kids, she appreciates family-friendly nature activities, such as the WCD's family "pond-dipping" events this summer, where her children hunted for macroinvertebrates and learned about water quality in local lakes. "The Washington Conservation District is a well-run group of employees," Diane says. "It makes it so easy to support the work that we do."
This year, the WCD board celebrated the organization's 75th Anniversary. (Left to right: Bob Rosenquist, Louise Smallidge, John Rheinberger, Diane Blake. Not pictured: Jim Levitt.)
The Conservation District Board meets monthly on the second Wednesday of each month, at 2:00pm. This year, the Washington Conservation District celebrates its 75th Anniversary.

Q: If $0\neq \alpha \in E$ is algebraic over F, then $\frac{1}{a}$ is also algebraic over F. Exercise: Show that if $0\neq \alpha \in E$ is algebraic over F, then $\frac{1}{a}$ is also algebraic over F.
My first idea is to somehow use the fact that the field extension $F(\alpha)$ is isomorphic to the field $F[x]/<p(x)>$ where $p(x)$ is the minimal polynomial of $\alpha$ over $F$. However, I continuously run into $\frac{1}{0}$ which is problematic for obvious reasons. Any hints to start this proof would be very helpful.

A: Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial with non-zero constant term and coefficients in $F$ such that $P(\alpha)=0$.
Suppose that $P$ has shape $b_nx^n+b_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots+b_0$. Then $\dfrac{1}{\alpha}$ is a root of the polynomial $b_0x^n+b_1x^{n-1}+\cdots+b_n$.  To show this, divide $P(x)$ by $x^n$.

A: Hint: $\frac{1}{\alpha}\in F(\alpha)$

A: Start with your algebraic number $a$. There is $b\in F$  so that $ab=1$. Then for any $k$, we have $a^kb^k=1$. Using the fact that $a$ is algebraic, there is some polynomial with coefficients $c_i$ that $a$ satisfies. Explicitly, we have
$$\sum_{k=1}^n c_ia^k=0.$$
Substituting in for $b$, we have
$$\sum_{k=1}^n c_i(1/b)^k=0.$$
Can you now show that $b$ is algebraic?

D-myo-inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate produced in human intestinal epithelial cells in response to Salmonella invasion inhibits phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling pathways
Lars Eckmann, Marco T. Rudolf, Andrzej Ptasznik, Carsten Schultz, Tao Jiang, Nora Wolfson, Roger Tsien, Joshua Fierer, Stephen B. Shears, Martin F. Kagnoff, Alexis E. Traynor-Kaplan
Several inositol-containing compounds play key roles in receptor- mediated cell signaling events. Here, we describe a function for a specific inositol polyphosphate, D-myo-inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5,6)P4], that is produced acutely in response to a receptor- independent process. Thus, infection of intestinal epithelial cells with the enteric pathogen Salmonella, but not with other invasive bacteria, induced a multifold increase in Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 levels. To define a specific function of Ins(1,4,5,6)P4, a membrane-permeant, hydrolyzable ester was used to deliver it to the intracellular compartment, where it antagonized epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced inhibition of calcium-mediated chloride (Cl-) secretion (CaMCS) in intestinal epithelia. This EGF function is likely mediated through a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PtdIns3K)-dependent mechanism because the EGF effects are abolished by wortmannin, and three different membrane-permeant esters of the PtdIns3K product phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5- trisphosphate mimicked the EGF effect on CaMCS. We further demonstrate that Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 antagonized EGF signaling downstream of PtdIns3K because Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 interfered with the PtdInsP3 effect on CaMCS without affecting PtdIns3K activity. Thus, elevation of Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 in Salmonella-infected epithelia may promote Cl- flux by antagonizing EGF inhibition mediated through PtdIns3K and PtdInsP3.

Outside of Las Vegas, you don't hear the words "dinner" and "show" together very often. Rarer still is a dinner show that's become a legend, such as the Mai-Kai Restaurant and Polynesian Show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. When you've been serving and entertaining guests for 60 years, and outlived a pop culture craze, you get a place in your community, in your fans' hearts, and on the National Register of Historic Places. You become a legend.
Opened in 1956 and still run by the same family, the Mai-Kai is widely considered one of the world's best Tiki establishments (scoring 9.8 on Critiki's 10 point scale). Naturally, as Tiki devotees, we felt obliged to make the pilgrimage. We took a look at the Mai-Kai experience, the décor and gardens, and the Polynesian show in our post Full Immersion Tiki. Here, we want to talk about the other half of the experience: Going to Mai-Kai for dinner.
The Mai-Kai Restaurant and Polynesian Shows, a Fort Lauderdale institution and world-wide legend since 1956.
When most people hear Tiki, they think of a bar, and the Mai-Kai has one of those. The fabulous Molokai Bar could stand alone as one of the best ever. The décor is great and the drink menu is one of the biggest we've seen. Beyond that, there's plenty of Tiki history here. The brothers who opened Mai-Kai came from Chicago, and brought with them famed Don the Beachcomber barman Mariano Licudine. We've heard the tale of a bottle of Havana rum also brought to the Mai-Kai when it opened, and still stashed away somewhere on the premises. Then there's the matter of the Mystery Drink, served by the sultry Mai-Kai Mystery Girl. Frequent guest Johnny Carson was so enamored that she was invited to appear on the Tonight Show.
The Mai-Kai is so much more than a Tiki bar, though. In fact, the sign above does not even mention a bar; it says Restaurant and Polynesian Show. Indeed, not far beyond the Molokai Bar are several dining rooms, each named for a South Pacific Island, and decorated to perfection. You quickly find yourself in a very "genuine imitation" Polynesia. You know perfectly well your feet are in Florida, but your senses are about 5,000 miles away, surrounded by Tiki statues, ship models, and Aloha-clad staff. Anywhere else, it might seem contrived but, at the Mai-Kai, every detail is right at home.
Make no mistake, you're at the Mai-Kai, ordering from the Bali Hai menu, available only in the dining rooms adjacent to the show stage.
Also right at home was the excellent staff. Service was fantastic without being intrusive, and the staff was very patient with guests like us, more intent on exploring their surroundings than the menu. In fact, they pointed the way to areas we might have missed, and made sure we weren't late for the show. The staff and servers moved with a choreography as polished as the dancers. It was obvious that everyone has been a part of the Mai-Kai family for years – in some cases, generations.
Given the Polynesian theme, you might expect to sit down to a Hawaiian Luau. While you will find poke and Macadamia Encrusted Mahi on the menu, the Mai-Kai has a decidedly Asian-influenced kitchen. And it's quite a menu – or, actually, three (plus a kids' menu). If you're coming for the show – and who isn't? – you will want the Bali Hai menu. It's $47 per person, which includes appetizer, entrée, desert and, of course, the show! We found the selections in the Bali Hai menu were perfect, with a variety of beef, chicken and seafood entrees. Trouble is, they all sound delicious! Decisions, decisions.
Naturally, the appetizer of choice has to be the Pupu Platter, not only because it's fun to say but because it's a sampler of almost the entire appetizer menu. Watch out for the Tahitian Cheese Tangs, though; seriously addictive little morsels. We were also seriously tempted by the sushi rolls, which you can add a la carte. Moving on, our dinner choices were the Teriyaki Combo and the Cantonese Shrimp. While both were very good, our neighbors had Prime Rib from the Chinese ovens (of which, there are reportedly only two in the U.S.). It looked and smelled so good that I instantly doubted my decision.
The great thing about a Prix Fixe menu is that you're forced into desert. Thankfully, there are some light options, such as the non-dairy Mango sorbet or coconut frozen yogurt. A nice, sweet ending to a delicious meal that actually didn't leave us feeling like we needed to be wheeled out. Portion sizes were good, but we still took the opportunity to walk a bit through the gardens (for the obligatory selfie with King Mai Kai) before departing.
If you prefer to sit all by yourself, there is a separate dining room with no show where we saw zero people. None. Nobody, except a very bored wait staff. Still, one could sit here and order a la carte or enjoy the South Seas Special, a $17.95 Prix Fixe menu available only in the non-show dining room. During our visit, nobody was dining in the beautiful garden either, because… Florida in the summer. 'Nuff said.
You can experience the Mai-Kai Polynesian Dinner Show yourself, and save 30% thanks to our friends at Viator and the Mai-Kai!
When you decide to make this pilgrimage, note that reservations are required. (If you use the Open Table app, you can earn points when you book.) It's a popular place for tourists and locals alike. We thought picking a Thursday might be a bit less crazy, but it was packed. A large family (kids to grands) in front of us. A birthday party to the left. Seated next to us was a couple celebrating their anniversary by recreating their Honeymoon visit in 1973! Mai-Kai is not a Tiki bar, it's an experience for all ages.
When you go, don't forget that Mai-Kai is closed on Mondays. Generally, the restaurant opens for dinner at four or five (depending on the day), with varying show times. Because hours and show times can change, it's best to consult the Mai-Kai online.
The dress code at the Mai-Kai is pretty simple: Grass skirts and handmade headdresses, flaming batons optional. Okay, those are the performers' costumes, and they are very authentic. For the rest of us, the rules are: No hats, t-shirts, tank tops, beach shorts, or flip flops. In the past, guests would come dressed "to the nines" for a night among the who's who. We did notice sport coats and dresses, but also lots of Aloha shirts. If you feel a little out of fashion without your best Aloha shirt, there are a few for sale in the gift shop, the Mai Kai Trading Company. Think of it as Polynesian Casual.
The dancers of the Mai-Kai Polynesian Revue!
So many themed restaurants are past their prime within years, but the Mai-Kai turns sixty this year and is still authentic, entertaining, and relevant. There's a reason it is one of the last bastions of a bygone era, keeping that era alive for future generations. This venerable institution is a celebration of everything done right, from décor to service, dining to entertainment. There is also a healthy dose of magic involved. En route to your table, the eyes of myriad Tiki will be watching as you wander in the soft glow of lamps beneath thatched roofs, and their spell will take hold.
If this review was helpful, you can Pin it for later, and share it with your friends!
Have you visited the Mai-Kai Restaurant and Polynesian Shows? We'd love to hear about your experience, and any other Tiki bars and restaurants you like! See more from the Mai-Kai in our post, Full Immersion Tiki.

This competition is like our state competition for art – a gold key is like 1st place in state, a silver key is like 2nd place in state, and an honorable mention is like 3rd place in state. For perspective, about 10% of the work entered gets into the show (so out of 38 entries, statistically we should get ~4 in total). Vista Peak earned more awards than all other APS schools – Central had 3 and Gateway had 1.
We have put together a slideshow of all of the entries so you can see what pieces were entered from Vista Peak!

Q: Tela de Fragment para chamar outra tela Fragment Eu estou em um fragment, e nesse fragment eu quero chamar outra tela que também é um fragment. Estou usando recycleview. Se eu tentar chamar uma activity, eu consigo, mas não consigo chamar um fragment.
Veja o código abaixo:
@Override
public void onNoteClick(int position) {
    listaCursos.get(position);
   // aqui deve chamar outro fragment
}

Tentei alguns exemplos que achei, mas não abre uma outra tela que tem o fragment.
 Só lembrando que meu app só possui uma activity, todo o resto somente fragment.
Chamar a tela usando intent não é meu caso.
Tentei algo parecido com isso que achei e não foi:
Fragment fr = new Fragment();
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fm.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.container, fr);
fragmentTransaction.commit();

1st Tennessee woman elected to full term in Congress dies
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Marilyn Lloyd, the first Tennessee woman elected to a full term in Congress, has died. She was 89.
Lloyd's family said in a statement that the congresswoman died Wednesday.
The Chattanooga Democrat represented Tennessee's 3rd Congressional District for 10 terms, from 1975 until she retired in 1995. She never lost a House election.
Lloyd was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas, in 1929. After her husband, Mort Lloyd, died in a 1974 plane crash, she replaced the local news anchor as the Democratic nominee for the House and won the seat.
A breast cancer survivor, Lloyd advocated for the Mammography Quality Standards Act, which became law in 1992.
Lloyd's youngest son, Morty Lloyd, called his mother a woman of great tenacity who charted a path for women in Congress.

This here mix features two songs from Walter Martin's two fantastic records of children's music (2014's We're All Young Together and 2017's My Kinda Music). Martin was the multi-instrumentalist from what just might be my favorite "NY" band, The Walkmen (I've seen them live at least a dozen times) and these "family albums" of his are a real joy to listen to.
You'll also hear two from the newest and likely last record by Richard Swift, as sadly he died this past July 3rd from complications due to alcohol addiction. This stunning album was released on September 20th, a date that would have marked his and his wife's 21st wedding anniversary.
Richard Swift was only 41 but he had already amassed an incredible and diverse body of work; sadly he leaves behind as well a wife and three daughters.
I paid tribute to his genius with a mix of his songs in August.
I believe the two songs featured here–the title track "The Hex" and "Dirty Jim"–are more fine examples of what made so much of his art so brilliant: it could be both incredibly playful and yet devastatingly heartbreaking, simultaneously. Take "Dirty Jim" with it's lovely, jaunty bounce, but despite this ebullient ragtime melody it can twist your guts and that jaunt turns to substance-abused jitters with lines like: "Every daughter in my home, every one I've left alone/ Sorry for the tears I gave to you."
I've always admired a man that can take pathos and mutate it into POP.
Somewhat in the same dolorous mode, the closing track "Lullaby" by Rhiannon Giddens backed by the Kronos Quartet seems so sweet and easy until you begin to understand the heartsore and shameful relationships being presented to you. I really believe Rhiannon Giddens is one of the best things American music has going for it these days.
In addition to its hints of slavery and more modern racial tensions this berceuse also brought to my mind how the poet Oliver Wendell Holmes suggested in 1872 that the cuckoo bird replace the bald eagle as the emblem of the United States of America, writing:
"We Americans are all cuckoos. We make our homes in the nests of other birds,"
In his 2011 book The Old, Weird America (originally released with the title, Invisible Republic) music journalist and cultural critic Greil Marcus expanded upon Holmes' thought:
"We Americans are all cuckoos," Oliver Wendell Holmes said in 1872. "We make our homes in the nests of other birds." This is the starting point.
As long as seven hundred years ago,the English were singing that the cuckoo heralded the coming of summer, and yet the bird was hated. Its cry was reviled through the centuries as oppressive, repetitious, maniacally boring, a cry to drive you crazy, a cry that was already crazy, benefiting a bird that was insane. The cuckoo–the true, "parasitic" cuckoo, which despite Holmes' choice of it for national bird is not found in the United States–lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. It is a kind of scavenger in reverse: violating the natural order of things, it is by its own nature an outsider, a creature that cannot belong. Depositing its orphans, leaving its progeny to be raised by others, to grow up as impostors in another's house–as America filled itself up with slaves, indentured servants, convicts, hustlers, adventurers, the ambitious and the greedy, the fleeing and the hated, who took or were given new, impostors' names–the cuckoo becomes the other and sees all other creatures as other. If the host bird removes a cuckoo's egg from its nest, the cuckoo may take revenge, killing all of the host's eggs or chicks; in the same manner, as new Americans drove out or exterminated the Indians, when the cuckoo egg hatches the newborn may drive out any other nestlings or destroy any other eggs. As a creature alienated from its own nature,the cuckoo serves as the specter of the alienation of each from all.
Here is a mystical body of the republic, a kind of public secret: a declaration of what sort of wishes and fears lie behind any public act, a declaration of a weird but clearly recognizable America within the America of the exercise of institutional majoritarian power. […] Here everyone calls upon the will and everyone believes in fate. It is a democracy of manners–a democracy, finally, of how people carry themselves, of how they appear in public. The ruling question of public life is not that of the distribution of material goods or the governance of moral affairs, but that of how people plumb their souls and then present their discoveries, their true selves, to others–unless, as happens here often enough, the fear of not belonging, or the wish for true proof that one does belong, takes over, and people assume the mask that makes them indistinguishable from anyone else. But [here] that mask never stays on for long.
God reigns here, but his rule can be refused. His gaze cannot be escaped; his hand, maybe. You can bet: you can stake a probably real exile on a probably imaginary homecoming. Or you can take yourself out of the game, and wait for a death God will ignore; then you, like so many others, already dead but still speaking, will take your place in the bend of a note in "The Coo Coo Bird." It's limbo, but it's not bad: on the fourth day of July you get to holler.
OK, I assure you it's not all sadness on the mix nor a visit to Norton Juster's The Doldrums.
[some of the landscape of The Doldrums, inhabited by the Lethargarians, as depicted in animation legend Chuck Jones' 1968 adaption of Juster's 1961 children's book The Phantom Tollbooth.
No, not at all. There's Jack White with a song that sounds like it could have been assembled by Malcolm McLaren in the 80s.
There's Judee Sill with one of her sweet sounding folk-tunes soaked in and thirsty for Christian mysticism; she categorized her own style of music as "country cult baroque."
There's a pretty diddy off of Uruguayan singer-songwriter Juan Wauters' 2014 record North American Poetry. I recall reading somewhere Wauters' music described as alegría melancólica (melancholy joy) and that is an apt description of the mood that colors a good deal of his songs, which are delivered in silly little knots. Just as in modern times "silly" is a mode or attribute of this bizarre, aggregate thing we are that is often all too easily denigrated and dismissed, in my world "silly" is one of the highest compliments I can give. As a culture we really need to relearn how to truly be at play beside the tower.
You'll hear something fun from Bobby Charles' eponymous 1972 record. Charles first made a name for himself back in the mid-1950s when he wrote the songs "See You Later, Alligator" (becoming a hit for Bill Haley and His Comets), and "Walking to New Orleans" (becoming a hit for Fats Domino).
There's something from the sole album by P, a short lived project involving Johnny Depp, front-man of the band Butthole Surfers Gibby Haynes, and others like Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers. This album is in fact the first CD I ever purchased through the miraculous finding machine known as the "internets."
There's something from Canadian composer Doug Randle off his 1971 LP Songs For The New Industrial State. This whole bizarre, jingle-like record seems like something that would have been released in the world set-up in Robert Downey Sr.'s cinematic masterpiece Putney Swope.
Oh and despite the opening title in the sequence of "Mexican Loneliness" to "March Of The Swivelheads," this is a segue I first committed to cassette tape back in 1997 and 21 years later it still makes me both give a smug chuckle at my own cleverness and want to play hookie.
so please press play and…

I said well hello there. The last one had two tracks by Stockholm, Sweden band Mazarine Street from their second record, Thirteen Reasons to Believe. On this you'll hear two from The Beast Of Mazarine Street, their 1996 debut. The little exotica noodle of "Rabbi" rolls right into their ballad "Let It Come Down," which features guest vocals by Karin Dreijer who has gone on to achieve success with her solo project, Fever Ray. I've always loved the alloy of raunch and sadness expressed by this song's lyrics, like:
So come down on my face
and I'll eat you on the kitchen floor,
we get to the very core…
sick spirit and sticky teeth
You'll also hear Big Mama Thornton doing her own gut-bucket, ass-kicking (literally) take on Memphis Minnie's "Black Rat Swing." Big Mama Thornton was recorded in San Francisco on April 25, 1966, and is backed by Muddy Waters and his incredible band: James Cotton (harmonica), Otis Spann (piano), Sammy Lawhorn (guitar), Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson (bass), and Francis Clay (drums). I recently read an incredible article on Big Mama Thornton written by Cynthia Shearer and published in the 18th annual Southern Music issue of The Oxford American. I highly recommend you give THE THINNING OF BIG MAMA a read.
["Big Mama," by Cathey Miller]
[Little Richard, by Charles Burns 1992]
You'll also hear Little Richard backed by Johnny "Guitar" Watson and produced by Larry Williams. I'll never understand why the material this incredible performer recorded for the Okeh label in 1966 & 1967 wasn't a huge hit, as I think it's all fantastic! For those who don't quite understand the cultural significance of Richard Wayne Penniman I will share this little tid-bit:
In 1956, David Bowie was not yet ten and his father would bring home the recent hit singles that made bizarre but wholly thrilling rock 'n' roller Little Richard a star: "Tutti Frutti" and "Long Tall Sally." Bowie later said that he had the sensational reaction of "My heart nearly burst with excitement. I'd never heard anything even resembling this. It filled the room with energy and color and outrageous defiance. I had heard God." Even as a little boy his ambition had been set to be "a white Little Richard…..or at least his saxophone player."
Well, you'll hear this as well as some fantastic Duke Ellington; Iggy Pop with David Bowie and Simple Minds; something from Actor, the second album by St. Vincent, released in 2009; and a whole lot more! So…

I said well hello there. When I was in high-school one of my all-time favorite bands was one almost no one ever heard of. At the time I didn't know nor cared about the cultural, hipster cachet that could be angled from that fact; I just thought they made amazing music! I remember spending hours dancing and singing along to their records alone in my bedroom. Mazarine Street were from Stockholm, Sweden and my best friend's uncle, Gene Kraut, was their manager and as their 3 records would come out (in 1996; 1997; and 2001) he would mail them over to the U.S. for him. (Gene would also come to manage Arthur Lee of the amazing sixties, Los Angeles based band Love, which is how I discovered them as well, and even saw Lee & Love perform for his Forever Changes Concerts at Warsaw in Brooklyn, on October 23, 2003…incredible!). If I had to describe Mazarine Street as akin to another sound I guess I would say they were something like nineties Beck tackling the thick rock & roll and rough blues of The Rolling Stones. There was something incredibly playful to their blues bravado and alcohol swagger. This good-humored gusto I think can be heard clearly on one of the two songs featured here and taken from their second record, Thirteen Reasons to Believe. With "One More Day" they present a traditional-sounding field holler blues but tweak it with the odd trill and wobble of a theremin.
On this mix you'll also hear Beastie Boys' sonic tribute to Miles Davis' record On The Corner, with their very own "Bobo On The Corner," which features percussionist Eric "Bobo" Correa (the son of famed Latin and jazz percussionist Willie Bobo, who is also featured elsewhere on the mix). This rolls right into the Beastie Boys' oh-so-fun single of 1995 "Root Down," which utilizes a sample from Jimmy Smith's "Root Down (And Get It)" (a song that was featured in these pages way back on April 11th 2014 on my triptych party-mix On The Good Blood).
This MixTape also features a Blind Melon tune I mentioned a few posts back, the hopped-up banjo and kazoo jam "Skinned" written from the perspective of serial killer Ed Gein (and what I always took as lead singer and lyricist Shannon Hoon's somewhat demented, metaphorical commentary on his own issues with addiction and substance abuse). Elswhere you'll hear Blind Melon's "Dumptruck," where Hoon sings with more than a hint of anxiety: "New York City soothing my itchy itchy month of May."
Oh and I can't go without making mention of a song that has been a favorite of mine for decades: "Manifold de Amour" by Latin Playboys. Latin Playboys was an experimental group comprising David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez (from the band Los Lobos) ,along with the production partners of Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake. Taken from their 1994, self-titled debut album, I translate the hypnotic lyrics of "Manifold de Amour" as:
I'm going to sail

Crossing the sea,
Until I arrive
Well, there's all this and a whole lot more! So…

Teaching as Wayfinding (Hybrid Pedagogy)
22nd March 2015 by Dave Nicholls Leave a Comment
Originally published here on 5th March 2015 by Eric Hudson
The 21st century learning landscape demands a significant shift in the role, but not the importance, of the teacher. Smart use of relevant technology can help make that shift easier.
In June of 2014, The Atlantic magazine published a piece by David Zweig: "How You Know Where You're Going When You're in the Airport." The piece was a short profile of Jim Harding, a designer who created the "wayfinding system" at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta, the busiest airport in the world. His specialty? "The process of designing cues — from signage to lighting and color, even the architecture, anything at all — to help people navigate a built environment." Harding's system ensures that travelers can smoothly navigate from point to point in the airport, be it from one gate to another, from baggage claim to the taxi queue, or from security to the nearest restroom. He melds sophisticated technology, like the trains that whisk passengers from terminal to terminal, and small but critical details, like the font on bathroom signs, so they cohere into a kind of invisible hand that gently pushes the traveler around the airport without unnecessary distractions or diversions.
Harding's work helped me think about the demands placed on learning in the 21st century. Harding does not create the environments in which his wayfinding systems live; he is handed a complex system — an airport, a mall, a hospital — and asked to simplify it for the user. More importantly, he has found that his systems are "most effective when they function as a kind of transient, touching just the most superficial (or perhaps, conversely, subconscious) part of our brains, conveying information without drawing attention to the conveyer." Travelers' minds are fixed on their own journeys and destinations, as they should be. Harding's challenge is to leverage that intrinsic motivation as he wayfinds, creating a system flexible enough so travelers feel they are forging unique paths.
The core demand of 21st century education is that students learn to navigate an incredibly complex global society. This includes connecting across distances, gaining skill with technology, and developing problem-solving skills that can be applied to real-world issues. The system through which students must travel has grown more difficult to navigate. In education, we are accustomed to a certain system, a model defined by the four walls of a classroom, a reading list, a syllabus. Locating learning in these small, controlled environments doesn't adequately serve our students anymore. Instead, we find ourselves in a position similar to Jim Harding's: we've been handed a complicated system, a bigger and broader and richer learning landscape, and been asked to help our students navigate it.

Akuapem Poloo To Serve 90-day Jail Term As Court Dismisses Appeal
AlltunezghDecember 1, 2021
The High Court in Accra has dismissed an appeal filed by Rosemond Alade Brown a.k.a. Akuapem Poloo which sought to challenge the 90-day jail term handed to her by the Accra Circuit Court on April 16 this year.
This means that Akuapem Poloo will continue serving the jail term handed her by the Circuit court.
In a ruling Wednesday morning (Dec 1, 2021), the Criminal Division of the court presided over by Justice Ruby Aryeetey upheld the Circuit court decision on grounds that the Circuit court's decision was not manifestly excessive.
"This court will not interfere and the appeal is therefore dismissed," Justice Aryee said.
The court ordered that in the absence of the convict, Akuapem Poloo's child should be given to any competent person in the family to take care of.
On April 16, 2021, an Accra Circuit Court, presided over by Ms Christiana Cann, sentenced Akuapem Poloo to 90 days imprisonment for publishing her nude picture in which she was standing beside her son on social media.
This was after she had pleaded to the charge of publication of obscene material contrary to the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), engaging in domestic violence, namely, a conduct that, in any way, undermined another person's privacy or integrity, contrary to Section 1(d) (iii) and 3(2) of the Domestic Violence Act, 2007 (Act 732), and engaging in domestic violence, namely conduct that, in any way, detracted or was likely to detract from another person's dignity and worth as a human being, contrary to Act 732.
However, the actress through her counsel, Mr Andrews Vortia, on April 19, 2021 filed an appeal at the Accra High Court [Criminal Court 2 Division] to challenge the ruling of the Circuit Court.
Akuapem Poloo premised her appeal on two grounds.
Firstly, she argued that she was a first time offender and therefore the Circuit Court should had considered her plea of guilty as a mitigating factor when imposing the sentence.
Secondly, the convicted actress argued that the trial judge should had imposed a fine on her instead of a custodial sentence.
Akuapem Poloo, also filed an application for bail pending the determination of her appeal.
The actress was admitted to bail in the sum of GH¢80,000 with three sureties.
Justice Aryeetey, who granted Poloo bail ordered her to report to the police every two weeks and also deposit her passport at the court's registry.

Aquaam Aquarium Shop Stocks The Only Japanese Round Table Birds-Eye Aquariums in the US
Aquaam features product reviews and advice from expert guest writers with over forty years of experience, and provide the latest fish keeping innovations from Japan and beyond.
San Francisco, CA, United States of America - March 6, 2014 —
Having an aquarium is a much more involved process than having a pet, and is actually closer to hobbies like growing a bonsai tree- fish keepers must cultivate the environment of the aquarium to create a microcosm of the ocean in a small glass box. Aquaam is a website that is dedicated to providing the very best products in their aquarium shop, but this comes after their commitment to giving the very best advice to fish keepers, which results in innovative discoveries such as their new round table birds-eye aquariums.
The site is also the only one in the United States stocking the latest aquarium innovations from Japan, including the bird-eye table aquariums, which offers a top down view of an aquarium integrated into a table, ideal for the home or bars and night clubs, with an illuminated water feature that provides a unique selling point for any space.
Their products are not their primary focus however, but a subsidiary to their main business of recommending the very best products to customers so they can make informed decisions about their fish keeping, and keep their fish in the best possible conditions. After spending a long time recommending products and receiving feedback that the recommended products were difficult to source, the company opened the aquarium store to stock products they recommended.
A spokesperson for Aquaam explained, "Our guest writers have over forty years of experience in fish keeping, and have kept up to date with all the latest innovations and developments, as our exclusive stocked items can attest. Under the education section of our website we have created a comprehensive resource center that features everything from rare breads of fish and aquatic creatures to flora and fauna to provide information and inspiration in helping people cultivate their aquariums like never before."
About Aquaam:
Aquaam are dedicated fish keepers and their primary interest is in educating customers so they can make decisions that are good for them and their fish. Aquaam care just as much about the fish as they do for the customers who own them, so they never recommend products that do not have the best interests for the health and well being of the fish at heart.

Q: Type families can't return a RankN type -- workarounds or alternatives? I'm playing with an extensible record library, and I'm wanting to write a function field that can operate as either a Lens or a Traversal based on whether or not the Symbol key is in the list of keys. The type family is given:
type family LensOrTraversal key keys s t a b where
    LensOrTraversal key '[] s t a b =
        Traversal s t a b
    LensOrTraversal key (key =: val ': xs) s t a b =
        Lens s t a b
    LensOrTraversal key (foo =: bar ': xs) s t a b =
        LensOrTraversal key xs s t a b

This code gives me an error:
/home/matt/Projects/hash-rekt/src/Data/HashRecord/Internal.hs:433:5:
error:
    • Illegal polymorphic type: Traversal s t a b
    • In the equations for closed type family 'LensOrTraversal'
      In the type family declaration for 'LensOrTraversal'

Ideally, I'd like to be able to reuse the field name for both lenses and traversals, as it would allow you to write
>>> let testMap = empty & field @"foo" .~ 'a'
>>> :t testMap
HashRecord '["foo" =: Char]
>>> testMap ^. field @"foo"
'a'
>>> testMap ^. field @"bar"
Type error
>>> testMap ^? field @"bar"
Nothing

which follows common lens idioms. I can provide an fieldTraversal function that does what I want, but I'd prefer to overload the name field if possible. How would you work around this limitation of type families?

A: A lens is already a traversal, only its Rank2 quantifier doesn't make use of the full constraint (it merely requires Functor, not Applicative).
type Lens s t a b      = ∀ f . Functor f     => (a -> f b) -> s -> f t
type Traversal s t a b = ∀ f . Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> s -> f t

It is at the level of this constraint that you should introduce your type family:
import GHC.Exts (Constraint)
type family FieldOpticConstraint key keys :: (* -> *) -> Constraint where
  FieldOpticConstraint key '[] = Applicative
  FieldOpticConstraint key (key =: val ': xs) = Functor
  FieldOpticConstraint key (_ ': xs) = FieldOpticConstraint key xs

Then field should not yield a LensOrTraversal, but always a custom Rank2-signature with the constraint determined by the type family.

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to work more beans and other legumes into my daily diet. This was easy-peasy during the colder months, but I'm struggling to find lighter bean dishes now that warmer days are upon us. A few recipes are below, but I could sure use some help. Any ideas for warmer weather bean dishes?
One trick for lighter bean dishes is to think about the beans themselves. White beans like cannelloni and great northerns are fantastic in cold picnic salads or as a spread on sandwiches. Black beans were our favorite for winter chilis, but they're just as at home in soft tacos and veggie burgers.
What are your favorite warm weather bean dishes?

Going to No. 10: A reception with the PM & London Tech Week
Paul Fletcher, BCS Group CEO, discusses a recent reception with the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street as part of London Tech Week.
It doesn't matter how many times you have met with business leaders, or indeed even Government ministers, you are never 100% prepared to meet with the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street. The history and responsibility that's signified by both that job title and that building are enough to make any person at least a little in awe. The last time I felt the same was roughly 45 years ago, when standing outside my first Primary school on an RAF base in Lincolnshire. Like then, I felt the same cocktail of nervous anticipation and real excitement; though this time around, I also felt pride in being able to represent over 70,000 BCS members.
If you have picked up a paper or gone online recently, you'll probably have seen something about London Tech Week. It's a testament to our industry that there is the need for a full seven days of discussion, debate and more just to scratch at the surface of the UK's vibrant tech scene. The reception at Downing Street took place as part of this and was attended by other leaders from industry, charity and the public sector. It was a chance to take stock of the amazing developments in tech we've seen over the past year and commit ourselves to make the next 12 months and beyond even better still.
This event occurred in the midst of a series of major announcements that will have ramifications across the tech industry. Sajid Javid, the Home Secretary, announced a loosening of the visa process for tech graduates and entrepreneurs, the sort of move that BCS called for, including in our Brexit Report, to ensure the best digital talent are able to thrive in the UK. There has also been £2.5bn of extra funding provided for start-ups, recognising the phenomenal growing power of tech that has seen it expand faster than any other major UK industry over recent years.
This is before even getting to arguably the biggest announcement of the week, which had BCS at its centre. Greg Clark, the Business Secretary, put forward a range of new policies centred around AI. This included the new AI Masters programme, a key part of the Government's Industrial Strategy, which will see BCS working with universities and organisations like the Turing Institute and Amazon to create a new qualification commensurate with something set to fundamentally change how we live our lives. This also seems a good time to suggest that you take a look at the latest editions of ITNow (available to BCS members only), which appropriately cover both AI and ethics.
With these announcements fresh in both the mind and the news cycle, we were taken to the beautiful rose garden behind No. 10, where the reception took place. Seeing such a diverse group of attendees from start-ups, scale-ups, all the way to multinationals; in addition to charities, financiers, lobbyist, politicians and, of course, myself from the professional body for IT, put into plain view just how influential our industry has become. It's incredible to think that there is still so much in store in the future and that we are still only really at the start of the digital revolution.
After chatting with contacts new and old, including the aforementioned Greg Clark, Howard Watson, Global Chief Technology Officer at BT and Sherry Coutu, who set up Founders4Schools, the Prime Minister arrived. In a short but uplifting speech, she talked about her hopes for the announcements made during the week and about the centrality of tech to the UK's continued growth and prosperity.
It was around this point that, despite enjoying the experience immensely, a slight twinge of nervousness did return when trying to work out what I was meant to do with the remains of a prawn tail canapé in a garden with no bins! I would image littering in the PM's garden is frowned upon even more than in everyday life and I wasn't intending to find out if that was the case. Quick thinking led to me draining my wine glass and placing it in there, which had the twin benefits of removing any lingering nerves and disposing of any incriminating evidence.
As the evening drew to its close and we all started to make our exits back onto Whitehall, I had a minute to reflect upon some of the amazing people I spoke to across the tech spectrum. What's remarkable is that BCS has the opportunity to, or already do, play a part in so many of these areas. It's worth reiterating the unique position we hold and the strength we have through our members. As London Tech Week and the reception showed, this industry has never been more important, and its effects more widely felt; it also means that our values of making IT good for society have never been more necessary either.
So, like being stood at my first Primary school 45 years ago, or waiting outside of Number 10, I feel that same sense of nervous anticipation and real excitement over what BCS can do going forward.
